MrBeast recognizes the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan

God dammit, westerners are so childish when shit doesn't go their way. They are the government of Afghanistan. That they're an abhorrent theocracy doesn't change the fact that they're the ones running the country. For that matter, Russia seized Crimea nine fucking years ago. In Crimea, the official language is Russian, the official currency is the ruble, state services such as mail and utilities are Russian, there are border checks to get in from places that aren't Russia, and so on. Literally upset that reality doesn't match their desire, so they're just pretending that it does.

He really makes normal people dunk on Israel and supports Palestine independence as well.

"the country that shells Ukrainian cities"

could literally also be describing Ukraine lol

[–] edge@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And for longer. 9 years vs a year and a half.

NATO stands for "nine-year anti terrorist operation" lol

[–] KarlBarqs@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The country that shells ... Cities and kills ... Should not be represented and invited in any show or sport while they are murdering people in another country

What a fascinating take, I wonder how they would have reacted if the US was banned from sports and media during the period of 2003-2023

There's a US flag and a Union Jack, should be enough to reach the terrorist state quota that the Ukraine PFP is looking for.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 34 points 2 years ago

I'm so sick of all these terrorists from the DPRK doing terrorism all over the place.

I'm 100% confident Mr. Beast doesn't edit his own videos, didn't tell his editor to make these distinctions, and didn't even notice until now

Now that I think about it it's totally plausible he outsourced it to some global south country and that's why there's so many good takes in the map lol

[–] Tachanka@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago

I think you're onto something. At my last office job, before my job was finally automated, more and more of my work was to simply email entire projects to random firms in India, Kenya, Ghana, and other nations.

What if we did a communist revolution but Mr. Beast was financing it and using it as content for his videos

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 51 points 2 years ago

The revolution will be ~~televised~~streamed

At this point, I'd take it.

Smart move tbh. Probably knew this would get lots of engagement on social media. We’re talking about it after all.

In the 80s, there were lots of "sweepstakes" grifts that vaguely promised money for signing up for grifty nonsense.

"MrBeast" is doing that tired old shit but in a more obnoxious way. debord-tired

[–] EnsignRedshirt@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago (9 children)

Mr Beast is more banal than that. He’s tapping in to the same economic model as game shows. Give away money/prizes with some spectacle attached, make content out of it, make more money selling the content than you spent on giveaways. Nothing really grifty about it, just boring. Anyone who thinks of him as a “philanthropist” is a gigantic rube, though.

This is one of those things where either someone really smart put a lot of effort into it, or someone really dumb phoned it in. Incredibly funny regardless.

Korea is united under the American vassal state though.
