Top Comments of this video!! :3
I think mansplaining is even more nuanced than that. It’s men explaining something to a woman because they assume they know more about the thing than the woman does, because they’re a woman, and especially when they’re wrong about that thing. Like a man explaining space to an astronaut who is a woman because he assumes he knows more. Or like my friend who was a mechanic for many years who would often find herself in the position where a man would be explaining what she needed to do to the car even though she’d been doing the job for 15 years and knew they were wrong.

It’s for people who think just calling people like Matt Hancock a “cockwomble” on Facebook is meaningful discourse. Also the fact that he does the angry yelling routine in every video ends up having the opposite effect to political catharsis. It’s oddly dystopian, like it’s designed to stop you caring about anything. There’s literally an early Black Mirror episode which ends with the protagonist having to do manufactured ‘political rants’ endlessly where he pretends to be at breaking point for online content.

While major corporations won't vocally support progressive ideas until they're on their way to acceptance already, once they're at the tipping point I think the crass corporate grandstanding does help speed their adoption as cultural norms. Also, things like rainbow cups or pride sandwiches provide reactionaries an excuse to loudly and publicly demonstrate how bad their reactionary ideas are.

Tbh I kinda agree with the little house on the prairie comment. Outside of the mischaracterization of what happened, a piece of literature with the understanding of the context of its timeframe isn’t necessarily needed not to be acclaimed.
It’s the same argument of ‘baby it’s cold outside’ being blacklisted from Christmas radio play.
Both great pieces of art, and we have a contextual understanding of the culture lens in which was appropriate at the time. I don’t need to be censored from that.

The bit at about 15 minutes in while he's talking about cultural appropriation is a particularly big tell. Because he ham fists the MLK dream quote to try to make his point. Which is a tell because if you look up right wingers talking about MLK they only ever bring up the MLK dream. They never talk about anything else he said (and from what Pie I've watched I've never seen him bring up any other MLK quote.). And that's because they can fudge it to pretend that color blindness and lack of nuance is actually a sign that they're not racist and it's actually the Left that's being racist. It's a very popular strategy utilized by the American right. Pie not only used the same talking point that every American right wing hack uses. He uses it to the same purposes.

23:20 - I looked that up, Google's emoji design lead wrote a blog about the changes to a bunch of emoji, and was quite clearly joking about how taking the egg out makes it vegan friendly.
Right wing blogs (possibly including Breitbart, if I remember rightly) picked it up as though it was a real thing, and that's how Walker got ahold of it (so this line was probably one of Doyle's).

the satire/character thing is just an attempt to burn the candle at both ends...they want to be both a mouth piece and remain 'correct' with every possible hot take, then the 'satirical character' gets wheeled out every time their hot takes are proven to be bullshit by people who know more than them

You are spot on right about the straw man position, it’s the reason you don’t see black voices in anywhere near as many amounts as white male voices in the UK political commentary sphere. Black activist voices are shunned by the very people who claim they stand for the same human rights as those they don’t want on their platforms. White supremacy is both domination of non white bodies and also the domination of the narrative around non white human beings. Same pantomime played out during 60’s America, same pantomime played out post apartheid South Africa and here same crap playing out again in the UK and USA because human beings are again voicing the reality for non white human beings . And another point….. White western males didn’t respond well when women voiced the reality of their lives

I'm always a big fan of the "It's illegal to be racist, so no one's racist" from the people worried so much about crime.
