the tide pod thing is a meme

I'd be more forgiving of the confederate monuments if they were actually a relic of a different time when slavery was the norm and the war had just been fought, but a lot of them were put up during the civil rights movement a century later as a way of pushing a political agenda, not actually commemorating the people the monuments are supposed to stand for. I'd say move them to a museum somewhere, rather than outright tearing them down to preserve the history, but they're being torn down as a reaction to a changing social climate, just like the reason they were put up in the first place. Then being torn down by angry protesters is as much HISTORY as any of it, so "learning from history" is a fairly weak argument for leaving them up.

There's no current social shift against the rulers of ancient rome that's going to tear down the coliseum. The statue thing is much more CURRENT in every sense.

We have a piece of the berlin wall on display in my house.

I voted:

Filming a dead guy in a suicide forest and putting it on YouTube
shitty

Coolest Monkey in the Jungle
i didn't know what this was but it sounded cute and thus i assumed it was actually terrible. It's actually very underwhelming.

Happy Holidays
i picked this one because its funny

Dressing up as Madeleine McCann for Halloween
Didn't know about this one but i also thought it was funny. After seeing it, I still think it's funny.

Apple purposely slowing down older iPhones
VERY shitty even though I don't have an iPhone. This is the kind of thing there should be regulations against

I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his
This would be too on the nose if this was a parody and yet here we are

What's your preferred pronoun?
I think this is the dumbest discussion whenever it comes up. Someone says "hey actually i actually use he/she/they" then just go with it. Who gives a shit what people want to use or why? That said actually asking for pronouns seems really shitty! "OH SORRY I CAN'T TELL WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE BUT I ASSUME IT'S SOMETHING UNINTUTIVE. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT SPECIAL PRONOUNS YOU USE SO I CAN WIN SOME SJW POINTS???" Just use "they" if you can't tell and if the person cares i am SURE they will correct you

Kenya is a shithole
This is the worst discussion

Death from the flu
I don't want to die from the flu so i picked this

Mass shootings in the USA
I don't want to die from mass shootings so i picked this

Big game hunting
I don't want to die from big game hunting so i picked this

Eh, i don't think demonetizing that single video is a sign of any kind of good will when he's still pushing something like that to get views and subscriptions, leading to views on his other videos, which are monetized

plus its just shitty to show a suicide victim's dead body to millions
