I Don't Think I've Ever Laughed This Hard Before

I don't think I've ever laughed this hard before

please someone explain to me... how... how is h0ney free?? they sponsor so many promotions and have an add on almost every video on youtube but don’t use add space themselves so why are they a company? why do they pay so much to convince people to use their product when I can’t see an immediate pay out for them? 

idk seems a bit dodge to me. one day, when enough people have added it to their chrome extension, h0ney will unleash a deadly virus on to all of our devices to finally do the unthinkable... crash amazon so my social agenda can finally be realised and everyone can get “a bargain on every online purchase”

so ik everyone gets that mcc17 was absolutely poetic, but like… can we talk about it just a little more?

because i know people repeatedly said, “It’s in the script!” or “You can’t make that up”, but i’m still struggling to process how everything fell into place for mcc17 orange

(warning tho, this is long af)

okay so i loved this vlog a lot but i do have to mention that polygraph tests are controversial and most psychologists denounce it being used as professional practice. they do measure when the heart rate spikes, but this can be from a number of factors that do not include lying. when asking someone taking a lie detector test if you think they are attractive that persons heart rate may spike, but not always because theyre lying. with questions like "do you support stans" or "do you think im ugly" that puts a lot of pressure on the person which will naturally increase the heart rate.

MCYT Fandom Demographics Survey Part 3

THE THIRD ONE

WELCOME EVERYBODY to the MCYT fandom demographic survey PART THREE!

This is a semi-annual survey to measure the age and gender demographics of the MCYT tumblr fandom, as well as to gauge the following size and trends in following for all our favorite content creators! The previous survey was in April, and the first one was last October, a year ago.

This survey will be open for a week and close on October 15th. There are four questions, and it should only take a couple of minutes at most to fill out. Reblogs of this post are greatly appreciated to increase the sample size! However, please do not share this link on other social media - this is meant be a survey of the tumblr fandom only :) Thank you!

On the one hand I'm like "clearly the Dream SMP fandom needs a crash course in class analysis" and then on the other hand I'm like "I'm really not in the mood to write that post right now"...

But okay,

working class = someone who earns their wealth (however small OR big) mainly by their own labour

owning class = someone who earns their wealth (however big OR small) mainly by other people's labour (also known as "capitalist class")

personal property = your stuff which you personally use, including your house if you have one, your car if you have one, your toothbrush, your computer, your phone, your tools, your jewellery, whatever, it's YOUR stuff and the leftist are not coming for it

private property = stuff you own specifically in order to make money, but that you don't use yourself, instead you either pay other people to use it to make/provide goods and/or services and you take the profit from their work, for example factories, shops, or other kinds of businesses, OR you charge other people for using it, for example housing. This is the stuff that leftist ARE coming for.

Also yes I'm aware that the personal/private terminology is stupid, I didn't come up with it.

And yes, this does in fact mean that there are rich people who count as working class, (such as star actors or athletes, often popular musicians, maybe doctors or lawyers, some coders possibly... and some Minecraft youtubers lol) and there are (relatively) poor people who count as owning class (such as landlords who just happen to own and rent out a second apartment or even just an extra room, or struggling small business owners, etc.)

The definition is about whether you work to earn your money or whether you own things to "earn" your money, and it matters because the latter is exploitative, the former is not.

capitalism = an economic and political system based on the exploitation of working class labour by the private owning class in order to create profit.

trade = exchange of something for another thing between two parties. Trade and markets are both features of capitalism but they are NOT themselves inherently capitalist and have existed under different economic systems throughout history.

Important note: you CAN have an anarchist society with markets and trade but you CAN'T have an anarchist society with capitalism because capitalism is inherently hierarchical. Not all anarchists are opposed to business, but ALL anarchists are opposed to exploitation, which is why "anarcho-capitalism" is an oxymoron.

Also, capitalism is not a natural system in Minecraft, you have to actively enforce it if you want to have a capitalist society ingame, because it's really hard to exploit people who can just run off to get their own resources from an infinite world any time they want.

Wilbur tried to do this through trickery, by convincing people to give up their brewing stands to create artificial scarcity, it didn't really work. Sam and Quackity are apparently trying to do it through debt? And claiming people's attachments? Maybe idk, I've missed so many streams. Point is, you don't just have capitalism in Minecraft, you have to pursue it.

Anyway, this is why there's nothing inherently non-anarchist or right-wing about the Syndicate members being rich. None of them got their wealth through exploitation, they were all either gifted it (in Niki's case) or they worked for it. None of this is what anarchists oppose, actually. It IS pretty damn unusual for rich people to be anarchists, because it's pretty hard to get rich while adhering to anarchist values in real life (because we're not living in Minecraft) but it's not inherently hypocritical.

Also fixating on personal wealth over systemic problems is a distraction and actively harmful for the cause.

(disclaimer: I'm really not a theory guy, I don't have formal education on this stuff and I haven't done much reading either, this is just very basic shit that I've picked up through leftist osmosis and like podcasts and youtube videos)

TL;DR: just read the definitions of "working class" and "owning class" towards the beginning of the post, that was my main point anyway.
