The young progs yelled at you online, and, well, I guess you showed them! You helped render their culture an ugly, violent, stupid, contemptible wreck that will likely take decades to return to any form worthy of pride.

You showed those fucking kids! That will teach them to talk back.

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.

Offering immigrant children $2,500 to self-deport and threatening them & their families with detention if they decline is just coercion.

This is wild:

ICE is targeting kids.

“The idea that masked men would now go to 14-year-olds and ask them to waive their rights to return to the countries that they fled is shocking.”

Paul Robeson had his passport revoked and was blacklisted for his political activism.

Was recently learning about artists who rallied to support him financially so he could feed his family.

I've been reading a little of the TLJ novelization before bed each night and I have to say that I really think more authors working in Star Wars need to try for their own flair like Stover did for RotS. I know the plot but want to be sold on the experience of reading the author's craft.

I think it's noteworthy that the people who say things like "we have to sacrifice some groups to save others" or whatever are never talking about themselves. They never suggest that they should take the bullet for others.

If you are willing to throw away entire groups of people to protect your insular strategy that will only protect you instead of protecting everyone then I don’t want your leaders and I sure as hell don’t want to be associated with you.

the tallest stone @talleststone.bsky.social · 2d

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

As of now, a lot of you have told me you can still see the video. I've contested the strike using the built-in appeal process, and the Community Guidelines Strike/Warning appears to have vanished from my YouTube Studio; I have yet to receive an email.

I've been given a Community Strike on YouTube under what I believe to be false pretenses for an attempt to call out anti-woke grifters, and I need help addressing it.

YouTube's team may still be evaluating the infraction, which I think is a good sign because I only wanted someone to look at this with human eyes so they could see what I'm seeing. I'd be happy if this got sorted; I will keep you all updated if there are any developments.

The amount of crybabies surround Yotei is getting tiring. What is it about these people that they need to make hating something their entire personality? Like go outside and touch grass lil bro, ain't nobody on the internet interesting if hearing why you hate something.

My video called them out and only ever advocated using legal means within YouTube's terms of service, like making our voices heard, to push back. Now, I need your help so I can understand this seeming attempt by a false report to prevent me from using my voice.

𝓒𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓻𝔂, 𝓟𝓻𝓲𝓭𝓮 𝓓𝓮𝓶𝓸𝓷 @ch4r10t.bsky.social · 2d

Please, anybody who knows anything, share this with anyone who might be able to help. We live in dangerous times, and bad faith actors will do anything to exploit vulnerable systems to prevent people from speaking out about their obvious agendas to push bigotry and undermine our society.

I maintain that I did nothing wrong and was strictly given the strike in error as the link merely uses words that *sound* like it relates to breaking U.S. copyright law, even though it isn't, and the official "BreakingCopyright" YouTube channel, including the video with that link, is still up.

𝓒𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓻𝔂, 𝓟𝓻𝓲𝓭𝓮 𝓓𝓮𝓶𝓸𝓷 @ch4r10t.bsky.social · 2d

What I need to know from all of you seeing this is (a) if all of you can also see the video on my channel and in the search function and view it as well, and (b) if anyone knows anybody at YouTube who I could talk to about getting this pretty obviously false Community Strike removed from my channel.

𝓒𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓻𝔂, 𝓟𝓻𝓲𝓭𝓮 𝓓𝓮𝓶𝓸𝓷 @ch4r10t.bsky.social · 2d

However, as seen in Screenshot #6, the video, "The Truth About Anti-Woke Grifters," is still searchable even when I look for it with my side account.

This report could only have been made in bad faith, and it would never have been approved by a human being. I assume this is a symptom of YouTube's reliance on automated systems to handle moderation, something many people before me have criticized.

𝓒𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓻𝔂, 𝓟𝓻𝓲𝓭𝓮 𝓓𝓮𝓶𝓸𝓷 @ch4r10t.bsky.social · 2d

It links the user, as seen in Screenshot #5, to the website for "BreakingCopyright," which is NOT a website that encourages users to infringe U.S. copyright law but rather a website that hosts content users can use for YouTube videos *with permission* as "copyright free" content.
