VIDEO: Reparations for PewDiePie?
YouTube ^ | May 28, 2019 | DUmmie FUnnies

VIDEO

We need to have a discussion about whether the world owes PewDiePie reparations due to the obvious damage done to his personality in his early days on YouTube when his initial low subscriber count resulted in his low self-esteem. This is an injustice which must be addressed because we are all collectively at fault for not instantly recognizing his talent hidden beneath his early nerdiness.


TOPICS: Humor
KEYWORDS: pewdiepie; reparations
Having a DISCUSSION about reparations means not actually committing political suicide by outright supporting reparations but it does allow for useful virtue signalling.

We are not in arrears to former slaves. Even if someone had once been in arrears to them, they are dead and their claims to those wages died with them. Their descendants are owed NOTHING ... not one thin dime’s worth of reparations.

They have, at a minimum, no Standing to even ask or bring a suit.

And that ignores the ex post facto aspects of all this, that the laws back then were what they were and we’ve no right to retroactively cause them to be different so as to create this supposed debt.

Those that want reparations can go perform a geometrically implausible sex act upon themselves as far as I’m concerned.

Reparations are just another way for these Leftwing assclowns to get a bit of socialism and keep folks looking to the Democratic Party and Uncle “Moneybags” Sam.

But in the case of PewDiePie, shouldn’t we at least have a DISCUSSION about whether we owe him reparations?

We are not in arrears to former slaves.

I think a much stronger argument could be made for Reparations due to Jim Crow laws. But don't get them started....

The law means nothign to the left=- they have learned that if they stomp their feet long enough, through a fit long enough, that the right will get tired of it and cave in to their demands- I call the left the ‘Diaper generation’ - problem is they are grown people still wearing diapers-

Nope.

Although a matchbox with a “****s I give” on the outside and “Sorry, fresh out” on the inside could be handed out.

Even then it would require ex post facto laws to create the supposed liability owed to them.

And ex post facto laws are forbidden.

Ultimately it is all about tearing down the nation, even the civilization, that they eagerly do as what the Cultural Marxists of old have shat out into the stream of human consciousness.

The Left as it is currently, having nothing of the old extreme Left that is extreme to them anymore (why so much looks like the extreme right to them), is in fact the wet dream of every Frankfurt School douchebag.

I think a secondary issue of reparations is you’re going to be giving money to a fair number of people with no education or experience in financial management. They don’t know how to invest properly, grow wealth, financially change their life. They’ll go on spending sprees and a year or two down the line they’re right back where they started.
