the article we're about to read is so laughable it might actually stop you from breathing i hate living in hollywood already I'm trying to record a video here, and there is a police helicopter flying around, some homeless persons outside blasting rap music on probably some government-funded Bluetooth device.
There is sirens going on for some reason.
I just literally cannot get a closed sound stage out in this city.
So I'm just going to record anyways.
I don't care.
California sucks.
But today's story is not something to laugh about because we are actually looking at where society is going by who Time magazine, which is somewhat of a representative for progressives and leftists, believe are the top 25 most influential people.
Welcome back to the Daily Dose with your favorite gay black woman, me, Elijah Schaefer.
I am here in the studio to talk to you about something that is not only alarming, but is absolutely outlandish.
So we start with this article by Time, which is labeled the 25 most influential people on the internet.
Okay, so it's like, I don't know what the difference is between the internet and the real world anymore.
Maybe the real world is the internet for some.
Of course, in a world where people are no longer getting married, having families, and actually making real lives, the internet is very much their life.
And so the picture we start out with, of course, is of five people of color and the president of the United States.
And so I love in this world of intolerance and exclusion that already time is saying that it looks like a lot of the most influential people aren't white people.
That's so crazy since we live in such an intolerant and discriminatory world.
How is it that so many people who aren't white can gain so much wealth influence?
It's almost like maybe we aren't living in such an intolerant world after all.
And maybe just because some people of color aren't liked, maybe it's not because they have dark skin color.
Maybe it's because they're freaking annoying.
Anyways, let's look into this.
It says, for our fifth annual roundup of the most influential people on the internet, Time evaluated contenders by looking at their global impact on social media and their overall ability to drive news.
Here is who made this year's unranked list.
So they unranked it, which is really interesting because, I mean, you can't rank influence, right?
Well, they would try.
So we're not going to really say in order, but here's what we have.
So we have Lil Nas X, who they were saying, this is the guy who wrote The Old Town Road.
He's influential because he came out as like bisexual or something like that, which is like, you know, it's really bizarre that we are still applauding people.
This is not 1997 with Ellen Degenerate coming out and saying that, you know, I'm a lesbian.
I like scissoring.
Good for you.
You know, what you do in the bedroom is what you do in the bedroom.
But of course, you know, it's 2019 and we're still excited about Lil Nas.
We still love him.
I mean, I like, I think his Old Town Road song is great in some ways.
I love Billy Ray Cyrus.
It's always good to see the man who created the train wreck of Miley Cyrus make an extra dollar in 2019.
Anyways, thanks to him.
But our next contender is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Of course, let's see why she's influential.
Alexandria Casio-Cortez may be a junior member of the House of Representatives, but when it comes to social media prowess, her seniority is virtually unparalleled.
So it's really weird that we're praising AOC for her influence in social media when very often these same people are targeting Donald Trump for his influence on Twitter.
And I like how we can't really praise AOC for much more than the fact that she has a big Twitter following.
I mean, or like, and social media following in general on Instagram.
And that's really sad where we've come to is that we are praising leaders, not even for having influence in the term of actually integrating policy, which is their job, but for attracting many nuanced and naive people who don't quite know what politics is about.
Then we go down and we find Donald J. Trump, which of course should be understood.
Every list of influence that doesn't include a president probably isn't reliable, but we all know why Donald Trump would be on that list.
Then we get BTS, which is a Korean pop band.
So apparently, you know, pop music in Korea is more feminized than the United States.
At least some of our pop singers in the early 2000s to now in the 10s, maybe it's called the 10s we live in.
But BTS, the pop Korean band, is actually famous for increasing feminization of men and promoting the use of makeup.
Now, I used to wear makeup at one point in my life.
I wore eyeliner.
I use a bit of a, what is it called? Scene Kids, I guess, growing up.
I didn't know I was.
I had long hair, two-toned.
You can always look up the picture.
I might show it to you at some point.
Pretty bad stuff.
Anyways, I grew out of that at a certain point.
But accordingly, to our culture, if you are feminized, you are brave and stunning.
Good for you, BTS.
Then we have Rahaf Muhammad.
I'm not saying that I don't care about people with the name Muhammad, but I'm going to go ahead and just say that she says reasoning that she has nothing to lose.
Teenage Runaway Rahaf Muhammad opened up a Twitter account in January and catapulted her plight and the status of Saudi women onto the world stage.
Then 18 Mohammed had escaped a family she described as abusive and a system in which male guardians are given authority over their female relatives' life's decision.
That almost sounds like she escaped a country, like many countries, which are ruled by a certain religion, which YouTube will not let us talk about.
That religion, of course, is the famous one which took those giant metal crosses and flew them into the Twin Towers.
But of course, I don't want to talk about that.
Anyways, Alicia is brave for escaping that, but that religion is really good in our country.
It's just not good in any country where it actually has prominence.
Interesting.
Then we have Ariana Grande, who didn't have to put on her second album, Thank You Next, just months after her Grammy-winning 2018 Project Sweetener.
Don't care.
Neither do you.
Then we have the school strikers.
Very interesting.
These are a group of people who led strikes for climate change, apparently, led by Greta Thunberg, which is essentially a pawn by the UN to push a globalist agenda.
Now we're looking at multiple people as the person of the year.
It shows how uncreative and unoriginal Time magazine has become.
We're nominating a movement as a person.
This, of course, comes by progressives who don't want you to see corporations as people, but are willing to see entire masses of people as an individual.
Then we go down to Lisa Koshkoshi, a Vine star.
Don't care about that.
Brian, I don't know if it's Colfage or Colt.
I don't know.
He's a guy who raised money for the wall.
James Charles is one of the most influential people.
James Charles doesn't even influence his own decisions.
Like this poor guy is not only slightly misleadingly like alien looking and he's bizarre, okay?
And I hate to do the ad hominem attacks on him, but this guy, he looks like he's gotten Botox and he's like 20 years old, you know?
How bizarre is that?
And we go down Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
I was actually talking About this, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, they're not actually relevant.
There's so many articles of them that pop up online, and it's articles like the Duchess, you know, is with her baby on the patio.
Look at these pictures.
That's not influence, that's called obsession by media, and people don't really care.
Anyways, I don't really care much about Britain or the British, so that doesn't matter.
We go down even more to my favorite person.
Oh, there's an egg, Carlos Mazza.
So, Carlos Maza is a highlight of this list.
Carlos Maza, aka gay wonk, of course, as you might already know, is been in the news in the last year for causing the next adpocalypse on YouTube and pushing the ultimate authoritarian agenda of mainstream media news outlets doing their final blow to try to crush independent creators who are possibly their highest competition and most effective counterparts.
But it says here: when Vox journalist and vlogger Carlos Maza spoke up about being harassed online, he didn't just take aim at the perpetrators.
So, of course, you know, when we're talking about the most influential people online, these aren't people who are leading actual revolutions.
I mean, we had that one girl, Rahif Muhammad, who of course escaped the country of all those people who follow that one religion.
But we're talking about a guy who's essentially a glorified online crybaby who was upset that somebody criticized him.
So, of course, it says that he didn't just take aim at them, he targeted the policy that empowered them.
For two years, Mazza had been the subject of videos from popular right-wing commentator Steven Crowder, who repeatedly denigrated Maza's sexual orientation and ethnicity, actions that appeared to violate YouTube's terms of service.
So, okay, number one, we know that Steven Crowder didn't violate or denigrate his ethnicity.
He called him a Mexican.
Apparently, he's not Mexican, but calling someone a Mexican isn't denigrating them.
That's just confusing their ethnicity.
It's like calling me white when I'm actually black.
It doesn't make you a racist.
It just means that you have a hard time seeing the truth and you're not living in the delusional, self-proclaimed, self-professed, and relative world that I live in, which is called the SJW narrative and agenda.
Anyways, Carlos Maza took aim because somebody called him a lispy queer, which of course is very interesting because people call me a lispy queer every day and I don't care because I do sound like a lispy queer.
And the problem with Carlos Maza is that he is a gay wonk.
So calling him a gay isn't weird.
Also, getting mad at a shirt called Socialism is for Figs is very strange.
I don't know.
He's literally saying socialism is for fruits, which means that socialism is for Carlos Maza and Carlos Maza is for socialism.
Therefore, it's a true statement.
Anyways, but when Maza reported Crowder, he says YouTube didn't respond.
So at the end of May, Maza went public with his struggles on Twitter.
His thread quickly went viral, prompting a new wave of harassment from Crowder fans, and eventually a pseudo-apology from Crowder and a response from YouTube, which demonetized Crowder's channel.
YouTube stopped short of banning Crowder outright, arguing initially that while some of Crowder's comments were hurtful, its policies were intended to protect free expression, which can include offensive opinions.
In the days that followed Maza's Twitter thread, YouTube did reveal plans to revisit its harassment policies, but Maza isn't optimistic about systematic change.
Harassment is really good for engagement, he tells Times.
It's really odd that it ends with Carlos Maza, the guy who literally led to the ultimate harassment of pretty much every conservative and independent creator, who literally led to the harassment of most independent creators in general who aren't even politically active on YouTube.
You know, people like Keemstar with millions of subscribers who has joined together with over 100 creators to get this guy basically to tell YouTube, hey, we're not going to stand up for this kind of targeted harassment.
He's literally saying that he's against harassment.
Okay, this is a guy.
This guy is being labeled one of the most influential people for promoting the mainstream media takedown of independence.
And of course, Time Magazine, a mainstream media outlet, would prompt him up.
And that's what we see is the weird collusion in this, all of this, is the world basically decides who's most influential by who pushes their narrative the most.
But of course, over half of America is not influenced by Carlos Maza.
Quite frankly, by the fact that most of his YouTube videos have more dislikes than likes, I don't think Carlos Maza is even influencing his audience.
But to be said, Carlos Maza is not much of an influence.
And that's the way the world works.
It brainwashes the average citizen who goes, oh, that's interesting.
That is an influential person by uplifting somebody who's done more harm than good.
And that's where we've come to as of today.
We are saying what is good is bad, bad is good.
We are taking somebody who's really an operative and an agent for a group of media personalities that is not looking out for the best interest of America as somebody who is good for America.
But I call bullshit.
I say that this is BS.
I'm done with this.
Again, more names we don't care about.
Jojo Siwa.
By the way, I'm going to end on this.
Here's the person that I'm going to end with.
There is no teen star quite like JoJo Siwa, who relentlessly and enthusiastically from Nebraska, who sings, dances, and vlogs on YouTube.
She wears bright colors and plays with unicorn toys.
Guys, play with unicorn toys.
And boys, don't play too much with your unicorn.
That's my last advice.
