Hey folks!
Wanted to send another update on how I've been doing after the post from the start of the month. To make a very long story short, I've decided to collect together a lot of seemingly disconnected thoughts and theories into basically a sequel to The Ideology of Apocalypse, prospectively titled The Ideology of Cyberpunk. It will ...
2021-01-24 16:04:26 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks!
Sorry it took me so long to write this up - as I'll explain more below, over the last few weeks I've repeatedly found myself in situations where a "channel update" post felt like it wouldn't be needed. But at this point, as we reach 2 months since my last major content release, I think it's about time I let you all know what's actually going on with me and the channel.
last week I did a very silly stream, and now I've made it into a very silly video. enjoy!

Sometimes it still kind of blows my mind to be able to say I have enough patrons to break the 500-patron-goal line that led to the creation of this video. As I say often on here, thank you so much to all of you who've supported me, now and in the future - it sincerely means a lot especially in times like this.
Gonna go nap for a week. Hopefully nothing big happens in the meantime.

So I've been spending all day trying to avoid doing this, it was absolutely the last thing I wanted but constant technical difficulties have made it unavoidable at this point.
I have an 80-minute video that I've been working on for pretty much the entire month. It's focused on the underlying politics/philosophy of post-apocalyptic media, looking at franchises rangin...

at this point in my life, I make around $3000-$3500 a month from my channel. that's split pretty evenly between ad revenue, patreon donations, and regular video sponsorships. I get anywhere between 500,000 and 1 million+ views on...

Jack concludes his journey into BEASTARS by delving into its marxist, feminist, and of course Jordan Petersonian sociological messaging. Bioessentialism, structural critique, consensual vore - nothing is off the table.

At viewer insistence, Jack has consumed all Beastars media - and rest assured, he will never shut up about it ever again.
Thanks to everybody who badgered me about this series for the last few weeks - it was worth it!
haha, get it, 'badger'? because it's about animals. ok i'm going to sleep now
Hey! New video! KINDA! This actually isn't technically my own video, but a Vadim Newquist project I collaborated on in which Vadim, Creationist Cat, Rational Big Boy and myself take on big brain journalist Tim Pool. Nonetheless, I and my top-hatted logic-lover friend feature heavily, so if you're into my content I can't imagine this wouldn't be something you're into!
Jack Saint here is here to kick ass and massively overthink the ramifications of talking animal movies intended for children, and he's all out of ass. Today he explores three seemingly innocuous films about bigotry and prejudice (Zootopia, You Are Umasou, Ringing Bell), and tries to break down what they get right - and what they get wrong.
Happy 2020, folks! ...

Breaking Bad's Skyler White, the victimized housewife of its drug-manufacturing lead, has unexpectedly become one of the most reviled figures in modern television history. Today we're gonna talk about how, and why.
