Every "Trad Wife" influencer is literally not a Trad wife. Having a job as an internet personality literally defies the most basic tenet of this manufactured movement in the first place.
This^^ and now they wanna get an even bigger job playing off that character when it was all a ruse to begin with. So dumb how are folks so dumb?
I’m glad at least some people realize this. The paradox is so in your face.
Y'all are so mad lmfao all you're doing is giving them exactly what they want. Attention, interaction, clicks and comments. Not to mention there's nothing wrong with wanting to actually be a stay-at-home parent, it isn't slavery or whatever you tik tok addicts think it is nowadays lmfaooooo
I don't know, part of me feels like that's part of the schtick at this point. That part of being a "trad wife" is using any and all means you possibly can to convert others to your way of life. It's just another cult.
@@George2647g ignorance is bliss
The fact that the trad wife has a job is too funny lol
I guess she's married to a broke mf, too!😂
What makes it funny
@@Justin_Roiland (Trad wives aren't supposed to have jobs). (Also a tradwife is literally just a golddigger)
@@Justin_Roilandtypically, trad wives don’t have a job
@@Justin_Roilandit shows that this lifestyle is not feasible. Where most people who want to go on about traditional marriages? Most men can't fell the role of a traditional husband because not too many people in this economy can make enough money to support his wife and his children. And it shows that she's pushing a super false narrative
“I didn’t grope, I caressed people” is effin WILD
that whole section i was just audibly going "uuugghghhg" with each new sentence
And then goes on to describe groping.
Talk about blaming victims too. If he says it's not groping it TOTALLY isn't groping 🙄
And no justice in court either. WTAF. The monster is literally complaining about losing his riches when he SHOULD be in prison! 🤬
It's giving Amber Heard's "I did not punch you, I hit you" vibes
We absolutely need age limits to our politicians! There is absolutely NO reason someone who was born in the 40s or earlier should be telling us how to live our lives. They are completely out of touch.
The majority of Americans are between the ages of 25-50 so it seems like the perfect age. Much better than someone so old they care barely mentally function or don't know how to send an email and not be able to relate to the vast majority of Americans.
At least then we can kick Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito out of the Supreme Court.
@@YeahBroILiftyou do know the 40s were 70-80 years ago…right?

"Congress is currently the oldest its ever been..."
That's because none of them LEAVE office.
Its been the same 80 dudes cycled through over and over again.
That's part of the problem.
Then stop voting for them. People keep complaining but keep voting for the same people.
@@Jankyito Except the ones complaining are NOT voting for them. So...
So what you're saying is democracy has been a long time coming

As a Black man, I am at a loss for words reacting to the idea that a white woman can just use racial slurs to buy her way into success. That's insane.
Edit: the fact that the top comment is focused on her having a job as a tradwife is telling.
Stepdad called me every slur in the book and literally couldn't find a person that cared to stand up for me. This is America now. You get by hating, shooting, and shitting on others.
she said nigga
Because people are fickle minded and react to it (as you have); further spreading the virus through social engagement.
because people like you get triggered over it. stop feeding the trolls.
You must be young. That's isn't new or surprising at all. This is still the country that a white women can get any black man shot by simply lying to any cop.
Ah yes, another example of Piers Morgan being incredibly gentle when interviewing certain people like Spacey or Trump versus the way he berates interviewees who happen to disagree with him and doesn't let them get a word in edgewise.
I love how closed captions thought Phil was saying "Shakira" and not Chiquita jaja
Colombian here. The fact that Chiquita (United Fruit Company at that time), was guilty of one of the most horrible massacres in Colombia and was able to just walk away, and that we are still hearing from them after almost 100 years is crazy to me. I hope they really pay for all their crimes this time.
The saddest thing about it all, is that right wing politicians such as Cabal still have the gall to deny the massacre and underestimate the tragedy and insult of it (regardless of how many people died, it is the fact that foreign interests played the government against its people)
I was waiting for this comment
They won't😂
It's already not looking good as it appears CZcams is creating propaganda. By that, I mean if you turn on closed captioning, you'll find out it was Shakira not Chiquita that kept massacring Colombians.😱
Wild to me that most people know terms such as "Banana Republic" without knowing the history.
That "trad wife" thing just highlights one of the worst problems with social media. These awful people have always existed, but it seems like social media has allowed them to thrive off of their shitty behavior. And because of the way social media algorithms work these terrible people are actively boosted and promoted because they draw in engagement. Its sad.
need to start giving them consequences beyond just getting them "cancelled" because apparently that isn't working.
@@foxboy64In fact being cancelled seems to boost their numbers instead of suppressing them.
The issue is with people trying to get people fired for doing things they don't like. She deserves all of the attention she's getting now and any success that comes along with it. People faked outrage and now they get to watch their outrage make someone even more rich and famous.
If you think we should punish people for saying things we don’t agree with, then you don’t deserve the freedoms we enjoy in this society. Grow up and move on.
There entire schtick on social media is to rage bait to get a following and like the lemons they are the conservatives eat it up and believe following this person somehow proves a point. Meanwhile you could use those skills to make the world better and yet here we are. The girl was in marketing and sales she knew what she was doing.
*"Joe Rogan Slams Robin Williams"*
So you have chosen death?
To be fair, it turned out to be true.
@@raptorreagan2773 He definitely stole bits back in the 70s when he was starting out. It was openly known and it definitely did not earn him any favors. But like he said in the interview Phil played, he tried to remedy things later on and be more careful. Rogan not providing that context may have been due to him not being aware, or maybe Robin kept doing it but more secretively in his later years, or Rogan just worded it quickly and didn't give much thought to nuance, or any number of other things. But it is also true that Robin was beloved by not just the general public, but also fellow comedians, and he would regularly go out of his way to try and help people get opportunities. Speaking ill of the dead is generally bad form, but in this case, since he may have been factually correct, I'd say his mistake was just making those comments without any empathy or nuance.
@@MasterPpv Personally, I don’t think Rogan was unempathetic. Hell, in this clip, you can see him rationalizing what Robin’s intentions may have been, talking about how he was in a bad place. I think people are just defensive about Robin Williams. Which is okay. He was a beautiful soul. Brought a lot of love into the world. However, I think it’s important we don’t delude ourselves and not allow ourselves to speak objectively about certain things. Behaviours, etc, even of the dead. Obviously you should never speak ILL of them, however, there was nothing really “ill” said. He was asked a question, he talked about what he knew of it.
I don’t care much for Joe Rogan. And I love Robin Williams- that said, I don’t think anything nearly as bad as some make out was said.
@@whatcouldbeupdogI think it's also a bit of how Joe Rogan has changed SO MUCH after covid that he just encourages every single nonsensical (and dangerous) conspiracy theory on his show now. He never thinks before praising people who tell obvious lies so long as they are confident.
@@whatcouldbeupdogRogan didn't say anything that wasn't said by many others before
I recently lost a friend who was in a car accident alone and it was such a heavy gut punch.
RIP to Benny and my condolences to his family. Such a sudden and unbelievably painful loss.
sorry for your loss brother

Rip Ben Potter, he was a real one
Fucking right he was!

He was the greatest comic book CZcamsr
He is the youtubers who got me into comics. Its a sad day
I've said it before; An age cap for congress should be tied to the retirement age, except that when they try to raise the retirement age, the age cap goes down by the same amount. Tie it to 65. So if the retirement age is 67, then the oldest member of congress can be is 63. Want to raise the retirement age to 70? The oldest a member can be is 60.
Great idea, it would never pass congress.
That's a great idea actually.
That is a genius idea. You should be in Congress, not the current old farts.
and any pay raise they give themselves should create a special election for every seat that voted yes.
But, but, but that's....AGEIST!
RIP to Comicstorian, this news really shocked me and brought back some memories I have since tried to forgot.
I discovered his CZcams back in 2021 during my battle with meth addiction (pandemic was hell, i had already been 6 years sober from heroin), he was one of my sources of comfort during my painful and uncomfortable withdrawal days or when i was feeling so low or was tweaking so much I couldn't sleep or focus on one thing while trapped in my room....having his hours plus long vids play in the background was a lifesaver, helped me focus when i was high or helped me sleep when i was not.
having watched the CZcamsr "comics explained" some years before that, I was constantly suggested more of Comicstorian's vids and really got into it because I was already searching for long format comics audio narration so I loved how he did full complete narrations of comics instead of just summarizing them or explaining them.
What made his videos special was his voice acting, he would read out every dialogue with different voices and style so you knew who was talking while multitasking because I couldn't focus on just one thing or keep my mind from racing while tweaking. He also included scenes from the comics he was narrating so you could watch and follow along if you wanted which helped me with days i was bedridden battling withdrawal. He also made it easier or helped made it easier getting into different franchises that have been around for decades.
I eventually noticed and completly forgot I had moved on from watching his vids for almost a year now when I had settled in being comfortable in sobriety. At the early stages of my sobriety I had associated watching his vids to the my tweaking days but this news makes me very sad because I never forgot about him and had always planned on revisiting to check out his manga channel since I've been getting more into that lately.
This news is so very sad and unexpected
8 years ago he was all I watch
Robin’s awesome - not just his comedy and movies, but his warmth, charitable work, etc
That "trad wife" is acting out the 1950's housewife a little TOO well.
She kinda reminds me of like a W.A.S.P. character fromthe 1950s as well.
Drugs included
😅 The first time I saw her I thought of this 😂 little did I know she'd go all out.
She definitely reads as a caricature of a human being lol
Except for that job she has.
When I was a kid my dad had a friend who was a comedian who told me about Robin Williams stealing jokes and that it was a somewhat well known thing in comedy circles. He also told me he didn't believe Robin knowingly stole the jokes and that he was so scattered sometimes that he just couldn't tell the difference between jokes he had heard and jokes he had come up with.
He also did a lot of coke back then, which could also explain some of it.
Tbh, I believe that explanation. Nothing about the man appeared to be selfish or vindictive, he had a lot of shit going on and when you're using drugs and alcohol, it's very easy for things to get jumbled. I hope he did actually compensate other comedians. It doesn't make it all better but some gesture of good will is better than nothing.
@evalynn1863 Hopefully, he didn't leave anyone Good Will hunting

He was a beautiful human…I have no love lost for him
i wish phillip defranco would link a way to find the articles he talks about! like a link tree to all the sources used so it’s easier to access the source and read more into it
*edit* just looked at the daily dip and found the sources there!
On the prisoner story. So employees are pushed to form unions because companies in the US try to avoid paying a living wage at all costs... America has for-profit prisons and people think that they won't push to treat their workforce like slaves to improve their profits? This is why incarceration should never be about making money.
Gotta love that the company-I mean country that prides itself on "freedom" legally allows slaves. You just have to arrest them first. :)
exactly
We need a Mandatory age cap for all Politicians in all States!!
For me, if you were alive when gasoline still legally had lead in it, you shouldn't be in office.
It's called voting
Okay, but also, half of them will be that trad wife lady... feels like we've got a lot of issues
Eh, give it 5-10 years, and we won't need to talk about it. That's the one thing they can never take from us. They go first
what you need, is Citizen's United decision overturned... corporations and billionaires legally own the parties and the offices their candidates hold, because of that decision.
It needs to be illegal for government entities to declare they can't be sued. This system protects abusers in the prison system and removes any checks when our government is supposed to be built on checks and balances. It is absolutely insane that this is allowed.
I completely agree. I think people often forget, or were never taught in the first place That the prison labour system is a direct continuation of slavery. The 13th amendment was written with a workaround built in. That being the words "except as punishment for a crime"
I thought that was already illegal? like in your constitution???
Yeah, it's an odd one, b/c they do it to incentivize people. Like if you could just get sued for all your money when you release a drug that to the best of your knowledge you thought was perfect, the risk would be too high to develop drugs. But then they put this blanket immunity in place and now it's impossible for them to face consequences for bad behavior or extreme negligence.
@@breania_inekora5069 Sadly, no. The 13th Ammendment specifically places a loophole of "Unless for the punishment of a crime." So what essentially happened is that slavery became more hidden. The United States government at a state and federal level began arresting people of colour en masse for minor crimes, giving them needlessly harsh prison sentences and then using them as cheap prison labour. It's gotten so bad that when there was a supreme court decision to lessen the sentences or even release non violent offenders, the attorney general of California at the time, Kamala Harris (the current Vice President) actively fought and ignored the orders because it would weaken their labour force. She nearly got the entire state held in contempt by the supreme court because she wanted to hold onto the prison labour pool.
@@breania_inekora5069😂 no constitution didn’t count slavery as illegal. It counted them as 3/5ths of a person or some shit.

He's also been a huge inspiration for me, because I'd love to get into voice acting myself. Well damn.... We lost a good one guys. Thanks for everything you've done for us Benny!!
Edited to fix typo
That’s really cool. I’m pretty sure Benny was a veteran as well.
Definitely was a part of and created alot of great works as an agent of creation myself, but I'm sure some topics can often make us feel goldilocks with this bed being too soft, and this porridge is full of roid rage, lol, and not necessarily being the most advantageous advantage as having a level head can be though?

I don't get it.
That first story hit close to home. My wife just died on the 25th. Her heart stopped. Not a heart attack, nothing external caused it, it just stopped. She was born with a heart arrhythmia and the Doctors said even with the perfect bill of health they told her just a week prior this kind of freak accident can occur. I was right there. I did CPR and called 911 right away and it wasn't enough. Nothing short of having a defibrillator for the home would have been enough. Life can be taken away in the blink of an eye with no warning or reasoning. Sometimes you see it coming from a mile away and sometime you don't even know it's happening till it's too late.
Hold those close to you and tell them how much you love them. Today could be the last chance you'll get.
I’m so sorry for your loss
I am so sorry to hear that, brother. I wish I could take her place, man. She didn't deserve that.
That kind of thing terrifies me. I've never had the healthiest lifestyle and got diagnosed with late-onset Type 1 diabetes a couple years back. Unfortunately I have a host of mental health issues that mean it's been nothing but an uphill struggle to take my health seriously, even with the T1D hanging over my head. I fear every little pain in my arms or my chest or my head. I've been seeing more and more stories about young, perfectly healthy people just keeling over from heart attacks, strokes, and aneurysms. I wonder how I have been allowed to keep going when they haven't.
I’m so sorry for your loss ❤😢
I’m sorry for all that you’ve been through.
Fabian, first, I want to express my deepest condolences. I can not fathom your loss. I hope you eventually find peace on your journey with grief.
Second, you may have just saved my husband's life. His doctor says he's at moderate risk for heart failure. Being in the medical field, I told him we're buying a defibrillator for the house immediately. He balks at the price. I will buy it on Friday. Thank you. ❤
Ben made me a regular at my local comic book shop! Seriously puchased 1000s of dollars of books only because I wanted to read what I just listened too daily! ❤
Thank you Phil for the kind words spoken about Comicstorian. He would have been geeked out you were speaking about him, and he was such a staple of the CZcams world. Never met anyone who had more drive to succeed on YT and put his heart and soul into his work and his friends. We are all worse off without him in this world. Thank you once again.
I don't think I'd be able to have a neutral opinion on Robin Williams having grown up with his work in my life, but while I don't necessarily think its relevant to this case I do think "Don't speak ill of the dead" is way too broad of a statement and can be used to silence a lot of valid criticism of bad people who have passed away
We wouldn't teach WW2 in school if we couldn't speak ill of the dead.
I think the platitude that applies here is, Don't talk unless you have proof. He can't just say he has heard stories of one of the biggest comedians of all time being a thief without substantial proof.
@@faded9581 We have an interview of the man himself saying he has.
@@faded9581 HE did have proof. Robin even admitted to it.
I believe that quote is better used in times where the death is still fresh in many people's minds. In other words, you shouldn't speak ill of the dead when people are still grieving the death. Long after that, though, anything is free rein.
RIP Ben Potter. Man was a fantastic storyteller and he really brought a lot of classic comics to life. He will be missed.

Holy shit. Comicstorian was an icon. Loved the impressions he did for characters when telling the stories....That's crazy. RIP to him and my heart goes to his family.
I’m gonna miss Benny, Comicstorian and Absolute Comics has and is a big part of my day listening to comic book chats and he was a part of the comic community that can never be replaced.
The explanation that Williams gave is very much something that can happen, I know from experience as a musician that a similar thing happens when you listen to music then try to write your own, the little bits that your brain picks up and remembers just find their way in, and I feel that in his case, realizing that and finding a way to deal with it is a hugely important thing to prevent accidentally using something that someone else may have said at some point.
Robin also often went on stage with no material and riffed and improvised. Very easy to accidentally use someone else's jokes when you're just riffing under pressure and mostly hang out around comedy clubs. He has apologized and also paid some other comics for using their stuff. . Robin Williams overall seems like a good guy but he did steal some material according to other comics.
When I heard the name blinkin it reminded me of the blind guy in Robinhood men in tights lol
And his brothers winken and nod?!
Rest easy, Ben Potter, those were some good times with comics
Benny's passing is a real punch in the gut. I wouldn't have known 90% of any of the comic stories without his hard work as the Comicstorian.
And then I was so excited when he decided to come into my neck of the woods of manga, it was such a delight to hear his opinions on one piece along with other manga.
RIP Comicstorian
You're going to be so sorely missed.
I have heard of him before. Never sat down to watch his videos, but damn, his death punched me in the face. Life is indeed fragile.
You never know when it's going to be taken away from you.
The way Kevin Spacey talks about groping being "gentle" is crazy
Right!? "Yes, let me cry on national TV about how gentle my assault was." Has clearly learned nothing.
True. I understand what he meant, but it doesn't make it better really. When I hear the word "grope" I imagine someone taking a firm grasp, not an open-handed touch. While in reality, both are groping because it just means an unwanted sexual touch.
I find the word "caress" in that context to be worse than grope (feels so much more slimey), but I did also get what he tried to say - "my SA's were not violent or even aggressive! I approached them calmly and instead of coercing them by force or even physical intimidation, I (possibly without realizing) used social/economic pressure by being the one paying their paycheck to prevent them from explicitly saying no".
Yes, I added some phrasing to it to make it seem as slimey as it sounds like it was, but remove that language and I think you get what he wanted to assert.
It made me so angry 😡
Ewwww my arm hair is standing up as he describe it.
Hearing that Chiquita Banana is getting sued for using a terrorist organization is the least surprising thing on this episode, lol.

@@maximumoccupancyso you acknowledge the boost people specifically for doing things they know are wrong ti the point of not allowing it on their media.
Cause then theyd tarnish their god like image to the uneducated among us.
@@rampagegamingg8434 They don't boost people for doing wrong things. They boost people who are outright rejected or "cancelled" by liberals because it fits their narrative that liberals are "intolerant."
That's the thing though, she KNOWS that, she isn't going to say it again on a show (until it becomes publicly acceptable to do so) It was her purely rage baiting to fling herself into the weird conservative sphere of "persecution by the woke mob" since she lost her job over "some words" as many would put it, haha
R.I.P. Benny "Comicstorian" Potter. A legend we will forever miss
I've been gutted about the sudden death of Comicstorian all week. I've watched him for years, he raised me, my brothers, and our generation on a love for comics- a dying medium. I even brought this up to a coworker who's never heard of him who pointed out how incredible the impact youtubers can have on our lives now. It used to be that news would cover when a famous actor, musician, etc passed away but now not only is mainstream news covering his tragic death, but now I learn about the cause of one of my favorite youtuber's death by my daily news youtuber. Rest in peace Benny and thank you Phil for covering this, check on your loved ones everyone ❤
The fact we treat prisoners so terribly says a lot about America. One of my favorite quotes is "you can tell what a society is like by how they treat their elderly and prisoners." And it's sadly accurate.
Well slavery is literally still legal as a form of punishment by the government in the US.
The US never criminalized slavery, it just diminished it from public view.
I'm sorry but prison is a punishment not a place you go to get free bed and board while making money
@@avenomizedmind5256Not sure you want to be on the “defending literal slavery” side of the discussion, but you do you, I guess
@@avenomizedmind5256it’s free to cheap labor for the wealthy. Aka slavery
So what you’re saying is that p3dos and r4pists should be treated with respect.
Thanks for taking the time to talk about Comicstorian. He was a great CZcamsr and a personal favorite of mine. I remember listening to him break down what was going on in the world of comics when I didn’t have the time or money to pick up the latest issues from my local shop. I will dearly miss his presence
I'm a comic fan, but I can't buy every comic out there. Comicstorian was able to fill in the gaps of books I missed or recapped the old books I loved without pulling them out of their boxes. He was a true comic fan. His excitement was how I am when discussing comics. He will be greatly missed. Rest in peace.
KRAKA KA KOOM
nah the first thing i thought of when you said chiquita bananas was "they did a coup". classic
My brother got real sick when we were kids and he got transferred to UCSF in San Francisco and a nurse came in and said "hey Robin Williams is here and would like to say hi, is that okay"? We said yes and he was so kind and thoughtful and incredibly caring.
Correct. Have heard many stories like this, and if Robin would have dialed any random number in his time of crisis he would have found someone with a story about him. 😢
Rogan also had a story about a run-in with him in which he said basically the same, he was very kind and nice. I don't think he was attacking Williams per-se, just citing things he's heard.
But 2 things can be true. I don't think Williams was doing it maliciously. He was probably a very sweet guy who also had an issue with absorbing too much of jokes that were made around him.
Before CZcams I was a stand up comedian. I got paid but, I was far down on the comedy food chain. I loved Robin Williams, but It was a known thing. And like he said in the 2010 interview, it just happened for him. He improved and words came out.
Crazy part is I know Miranda’s husband. I danced with them for a few years and learned a lot from the original crew “street kingdom”. Seeing them in a cult now got me legit shocked. Seeing other dancers I know in this situation is mind blowing
Comicstorian was one of my favorite CZcamsrs. Anytime I was falling behind on an arc or trying to catch up on things, he was always my go-to
Chiquita being turned into Shakira in the closed captions takes the story to a whole different level lmao
Lol, I noticed that too.
I kept laughing every time I saw it. Very serious story, very funny subtext with the Captions.
Mine changed it to Jakarta and then Shakira but did use "Chiquita brands" correctly 😂😂 and then back to Shakira 😅😅
Thanks for covering Benny Potter, Phil. I've been watching him for over 10 years, more than a third of my life. His energy and passion were contagious, and he brought joy to so many. I only wish he knew how much he meant to a lot of people.
It still feels surreal.
8:37
😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks, I needed a ten minute got laugh.
It's a serious topic but the auto-subtitles for the Chiquita story are hilarious. I didn't know Jakarta and Shakira were used to finance terrorism. 😂
For the love of god FINALLY. We need term limits and age limits. The fact that term limits were struck down in the past is insane and feels very corrupt
The king has found himself fit for the throne despite his need to feast on human flesh
Term limits are needed. I agree. You serve 15-20 years then get your government pension for rest of life.
We also need younger Supreme Court members too
I was in a car accident just last night and I wasn't on any substances but the way it was still so sobering is unbelievable. I feel totally different today and I think I will forever after.
Don't forget how easy it is for our fragile lives to be taken away.
As a Criminologist, one of the things I want more people to realize and understand is that slavery never ended in the United States, it just became more hidden. Prisoners are functionally slaves but get far less sympathy than the enslaved, because most people dehumanize inmates. The 13th Amendment, the one that outlaws slavery, specifically has a built in loophole. Slavery shall not exist "except as punishment for a crime." So what ended up happening is that slavery just left the plantations and cotton fields and instead became institutional. What this ended up causing what that people of colour, especially Black and Hispanic people, began getting mass incarcerated and given prison sentences for minor offences and crimes. A Black person caught with crack cocaine would be given a harsh prison sentence that if a White person was caught, the White person would have to have 10 times as much drugs in their possession to get a punishment similar to that of the Black person. Then, once placed in prison, they'd be subjected to harsh slave labour and any complaint or minor misbehaviour would be penalized with extensions on their sentences. And if they were release on parole or something, they'd be given extremely harsh and strict release conditions that would be easily broken so that they'd be rearrested and thrown back into prison.
This problem is so prevalent that even the current vice president Kamala Harris, when she was the Attorney General for California, actively fought against a supreme court decision aimed to reduce prison populations in the United States so much that the state was almost found in contempt of court. She actively refused to release nonviolent and low risk prisoners because it would heavily reduce the cheap labor pool in the state. It was found that not only was she and the state not trying to reduce prisoner numbers, they were actively striving to INCREASE the number of prisoners.
I like this big daily dives into the news.
👍
Chiquita's involvement in paramilitarism is bananas
B-a-n-a-n-a-s bananas?
This is been known for awhile. There's a book about it called Bitter Fruit by Stephen Schlesinger published in 1982.
This is far from the only time. The CIA works hand in hand with US corporations to make sure that they can keep exploiting the global south. These countries are not underdeveloped, they are overexploited.
Nice
One of the many things that pisses me off about prison laborers is that after they're released, they are barred from doing the jobs they were forced to do while incarcerated. In many states, you can't become a firefighter if you have a criminal record. So we're totally fine exploiting people when they have no choice and are being paid an insulting amount, but the moment they're free to choose their own path, all that experience means jack because they won't be hired.
wow....that takes it all to a whole new level of fucked.
This comment needs WAY more fucking likes I'm livid.
To me it’s the fact that your civil rights wont get restored after you have paid your debt to society. Like thanks for your free labor, now continue to get screwed, we hope to see you back in soon. In my country even prisoners vote, so maybe I just dont get it, tho our recidivism rate tells otherwise.
@@janemiettinen5176 Oh no, it's 100% fucked, but more people know about prisoners not having civil rights (there's a fighteningly high percentage of people who believe that's how it should be).
Ngl phil, I heard the Claritin ad and thought I was watching TV. grats on the next level!
13:57 he says they gonna but I swear I heard "wigga" lmao
Shout out to Sam O’Nella for informing us about the Banana overlords years ago
Imagine thinking every corporation on the planet isn't doing this kind of inhuman shit every day and committing literal war crimes for profit
DUUUUUDDEE Sam O'Nella Academy actually came in handy when you started talking about Chiquita Banana😂😂😂😂
*“COMMIES! COMMIES!!”*
Oh Sam, we miss you buddy.
Right lmao. I was like..'should I mention him?'
I've been friends with Benny for 10 years. He was incredibly supportive of everyone he knew and was a big inspiration for me when making my own videos. It's a tragedy that's he's gone, and I'll miss him dearly.
I work at a company that participates in a work release program for convicted people. It's hard labor, welding, hot in the summer, cold in the winter, but it's preferable to imprisonment. We get a lot of guys that have cigarettes, vapes, gum, etc, and they leave them here with security so they can have access to them freely while they're working. They're also generally nice guys, but they make almost nothing for working this extremely dangerous job. We have guys that pass out from heat stroke if they don't take breaks. They have regular access to elwater anytime they need it, all provided by the company, and management for every different shop on site is really supportive. I wish more companies treated work release participants with this kind of respect. They're still people, too.
I was a firefighter and worked with prisoner firefighters on multiple wildfires. These men and women were exceptional at their jobs, but not paid near enough and despite the fact that they were such good firefighters, they would not be hired at most fire departments in my area as they are often not eligible for becoming an EMT, which is required for most fire departments here. Many of these prisoners were offenders for marijuana. I live in a legal state. I legally buy and smoke weed. But they had a drug arrest which means they cannot be EMTs.
😂 I don't understand how our country functions sometimes when we have ass backwards legislation like this. And just to be clear, I'm laughing at just how fucking ridiculous this is because we got the dumbest fucking people who run for office and get voted into office with no prior skills or knowledge on how to regulate half of the kids are going to regularly, but we're supposed to vote for that because they're either left or right.
God forbid the person actually knows what they're doing, but they're not actually from your party. God I fucking hate politics. It's just fucking tribalism. Nobody actually gives a damn about the policies.
Really? So tell me how hard is it to not commit a crime? They way people are talking it's near impossible.
@@burrito64burrito64 Do you think drinking alcohol should bar someone from serving as an EMT or firefighter? What about ever having smoked tobacco? The point this commenter is making is that cannabis convictions, especially in jurisdictions that later legalize it, should not bar competent people from filling much needed roles in emergency services. Not all crimes are equal in severity, and they shouldn't be equal in consequence ESPECIALLY when the so-called crime is made legal.
Literally everyone commits crimes nearly everyday. The law is complex like that.
@@burrito64burrito64well, he's talking about drug crimes, so pretty effing hard. Living that life, going to the places it demands is dangerous. Some people get into gangs and drug sales looking for safety. But you know, you've never done anything you didn't want to, right? Never had your options collapsed by an environment or more powerful person. Stay golden.
Says a lot when saying slurs is your first class ticket to being in conservative media.
You know why? Becourse it gets famous people to talk aboat you😂
Says a lot when putting on a wig and lipstick and calling yourself a woman can get you into female sports, spaces, prisons, etc.
But y'all don't wanna accept that
The history behind chiquita is absolutely wild, I highly recommend you guys read up on it
RIP Benny, dude was probably one of the most genuine, lovable CZcamsrs and people. The amount of love being shown following his passing is a testament to his character.
Benny was the best, he helped give a shot in the arm to an already tiny comic book fandom - his loss will be felt in our community forever
My boyfriend went to prison in SC. He did the HVAC work for the prison he stayed at. They could wake him up at anytime and tell him to work. For next to nothing. He got experience, but since he is a felon, it is hard to find work. So he got screwed multiple ways
Phil finally made it. He got a Claritin ad spot. 👏👏👏👏👏
Wasnt expecting to see the comicstorian news on here, i haven't watched any of his content in years but it was a massive comfort for me back in highschool, and i still read comics to this day because of online creators like him.
Benny was the first Creator i followed who started recognizing my username and i even made friends i still talk to today through a podcast he was a part of. He always seemed so genuine, and I remember him taking the time to watch some stuff I had made when I was wanting to make comic book content and giving some fantastic advice. My deepest condolences go to his family, friends, and colleagues.
A banana company funding a paramilitary group isnt surprising. Look at the history of pineapple production.
Look at history in general. All countries that export bananas are shitholes.
Or look at the avocado indsutry here in Mexico 💀
They've (Chiquita) been up to it since the 50s 🤷🏾♂️. Dole was also getting up to the same shit
Imagine any corpo isn't doing this kind of shit lmao. Welcome to real life, children
I have a feeling Kevin Stacey's "none" is more than I'll ever make in my life
right? If dude was actually broke and literally no where to go with his home being foreclosed on in the immediate future, he wouldnt be on the show; he'd be handling his business trying to make sure he doesnt wind up homeless. Since the interview, the foreclosure has been postponed. Must be nice.
YES!!! Lily is the hero we need right now. Heard what she said, and I couldn’t find a care.
Blinken somehow "not seeing" any report, video, photo and article showing Israeli war crimes everytime he is asked about it tells you all you need to knwo about the US role in the conflict
I was held in the Santa Clarita Sheriff's Jail 7 years ago. The firefighter program is ONLY allowed for non-violent offenders. There are placards along the walls advertising this. They let you know that you're getting jack squat for the work, but it's made out to be this sweet gig that isn't jail. And the thing is, it's better than staying in a 60-man room. I was there for only a few weeks, but nevertheless, I experienced one of the worst injuries ever [torn rotator cuff, no ER to help], not to mention that I was witness to the sexual assault of a fellow inmate. I still have the carbon copy of the complaint that I made (coincidentally, I was released on my own recognizance soon after). We NEED to stop putting people in jail for non-violent offenses, as well as stop putting the majority of people (who are mostly poor) in jail so they can wait and suffer just to get their day in court. Jail reform needs to happen 159 years ago. But since that's not possible, NOW is the best time.
Let them out and they won't show up for court. California has a major problem with this, El Dorado county prosecutor Vern Pierson talked about this on California Insider a while back. I'm sorry for what happened to you and what you saw, but that simply wouldn't work.
@@kingofhearts3185 It would work if it's done properly. Just like anything else. Currently run is unacceptable.
Oh wowie! Stay out of jail it won't be a problem right? It's almost like committing a crime is impossible to avoid.
@@Rage_Harder_Then_Relax Tht could be said of anything in theory, reality isn't so optimistic.
@@burrito64burrito64 This is such a stupid thing to say.
I don't think there needs to be age limits on members on Congress. Legislating age limits on members of Congress is only treating a symptom. Part of the reason we have "too many" members that are "too old" is because there are no term limits. Term limits would purge most of the people who are "too old" on its own, as well as address a lot of the issues with having people sitting in a seat of power that is basically uncontested so long that they are trivially able to serve well past the point where they should.
Honestly an age limit may actually do just that, potentially limiting the older members of congress to a couple decades rather then half a century. of course I am assuming the younger members of congress won't stay in congress for 50 years themselves.
porque no los dos?
@@KomoliRihyoh Because there are once-in-a-generation older politicians who would be fantastic and I don't think automatically banning them because of age is an actual solution to anything.
Age limits will be easier to get than term limits. No Term limits lets them make millions before they are done.
@@Lauren_3000 By that same reasoning, we shouldn't have term limits. It takes time for politicians to build the skill and connections to be truly effective. Term limits effectively limit the ability for politicians to grow in office. Adding term limits while not addressing age limits would result in even older politicians running for office.
It makes no sense to limit one but no the other based on possibly finding a "once-in-a-generation" special person.
As a Black man, I am at a loss for words reacting to the idea that a white woman can just use racial slurs to buy her way into success. That's insane.
a plack man white a white woman name and a white woman avatar. LOL
"As a black man" with a female name and attention grabbing sexual image yeah right lmao
That is, unfortunately, the conservative media way because they want to claim people are getting canceled for free speech. This is not going to work for her long term, though, as people are already dragging up her old tweets where she spoke out against racism. She was really just throwing shit at the wall to see what stuck, and this was it. People who are morally bankrupt will step on whomever they can to get ahead, and it doesn't matter how bad they look. I think we should let her have her 15 minutes and say nothing because her popularity hinges on her ability to rage bait. It's also going to be really hard for her to find another job once they get bored of her, so we can celebrate when she's whining about being broke and jobless in a year.
Bot pretending to be a woman pretending to be a black man is crazy. Especially cause this comment is copy and pasted 💀
what is happening with your name and profile picture black man 😅😅
I was surprised to hear you talk about cosmicstorian but I'm glad you did
Comicstorian introduced me to brand new world of storytelling. I’ll miss him so much.
Before listening to his videos, I thought comic books were cool, but not great stories.
Oh, how wrong I was. Opened my eyes to a whole new world of stories. I've always wanted to be a writer, so amazing stories get my attention. And he gave me all of that, more than I could have ever asked for. And in a way I could enjoy while working, driving, doing chores, video gaming, whatever.
Gonna miss him, and I didn't even know him in person. Feelsbad (and weird,) man.
Rest in peace, Ben Potter thanks for all the good listening vibes. I drive normally 12 hours a day and his stories just keep me going.
Waking up to Comicstorian passed away fucking hurt 😢😢 RIP
26:01 wow 💔 I can’t even imagine. Thanks for sharing
