=== Jack's Condemnation (02:41) ===

[00:00:00]  Oh, what the fuck happened this time?
[00:00:02]  What the- I hadn't even tweeted any gay porn at anyone!
[00:00:07]  I mean, I'd literally kept my nose clean and penis-free for weeks.
[00:00:14]  Okay, so what's the deal?
[00:00:16]  Why has this happened?
[00:00:18]  I mean, it's not like that I wanted to have a real discussion about like the actual use of ideology in the condemnation of Milo, because much of this has been ideological, and that would be an interesting discussion to have.
[00:00:30]  But fuck, you can't have that, can you?
[00:00:32]  Maybe it's because I was asking Bill Maher if he stood by that clip of him endorsing Pederasty that's been going around.
[00:00:39]  I'm sure that there are probably a lot of people who would rather I just shut up, aren't there?
[00:00:44]  Hmm, stop asking inconvenient questions.
[00:00:47]  We're trying to create an Emmanuel Goldstein here.
[00:00:50]  Was it because I was laughing at some of your buddies, Jack?
[00:00:53]  Is that the reason is this?
[00:00:57]  Did the trust and safety council feel the need to get involved?
[00:01:00]  Maybe it's because a bunch of us found direct ties between Gamergate and PewDieGate, and they're just like, you know what, this is getting out of hand.
[00:01:06]  We can't control these people.
[00:01:08]  Oh no, I know what this was, though.
[00:01:10]  I know exactly what the problem here was.
[00:01:12]  It turns out you're just a bigot who's totally intolerant of other people's opinions, isn't it, Jack?
[00:01:17]  Just because I like my pineapple on my pizza and my steak well done, that doesn't mean you can persecute me.
[00:01:25]  And to all the haters, I'm saying, look, just try it.
[00:01:29]  Just try it.
[00:01:30]  You might like it.
[00:01:32]  But really, though, I'm sure the thing that it's got the least amount to do with is this one.
[00:01:37]  It's not my fault that you're killing your company, Jack.
[00:01:39]  It's not my fault that your continued bad decisions are driving away users.
[00:01:43]  It's not my fault that you are fucking things up.
[00:01:48]  I haven't done anything wrong, and you know it.
[00:01:51]  I didn't not one black dick this time, Jack.
[00:01:53]  Come on.
[00:01:54]  What's the reason?
[00:01:56]  Oh, as usual, none given.
[00:01:59]  Well, ladies and gentlemen, we have alternatives.
[00:02:02]  I'll link my Minds account in the description, and I strongly suggest you sign up to it.
[00:02:08]  It is the best social media platform I have seen so far, beyond YouTube, which I don't really consider a social media platform.
[00:02:15]  But Minds is fantastic, and it's going to get better.
[00:02:18]  I've been speaking to Bill Ottland.
[00:02:19]  I gave him a bunch of suggestions on how I think it can be improved, and he got back to me the other day saying that these will all be actioned by March.
[00:02:27]  So we might actually have some real inputs in actually making a decent platform for us to use where we won't be persecuted.
[00:02:35]  Because honestly, it's kind of feeling that way.
[00:02:37]  Did everyone see the leaked list that was going around?
[00:02:40]  Who knows the veracity of that?
