EPIC Battle Royale: Ice Gold Hunger Games Showdown!

howy y’all I am ice gold and although the Kendrick V Drake beef has eclipsed this whole debate on Twitter for the last week Kendrick is winning by the way this is still important to talk about because while my stance on the war between Hamas and Israel is and always has been supportive of the innocent civilians on both sides who are being killed the vast majority of which are from the Gaza side so when I say I support Palestine this is what I mean and there’s many out there mostly in my generation who agree with me uh but there is a STK contrast between those of us who believe in Reformation of the government and those of us who want to tear it down I won’t be talking too much about Israel or Palestine themselves in this video since I’ve already given my stance on the war itself back in MCSG number three and this is just me analyzing what’s been going on here at home minus this tweet of course and hey maybe I’m chronically online and that’s why I even know so much about the Revolutionary versus reformist divide on the side supportive of Palestine as many y all have probably seen by this point protests have erupted all over college campuses Nationwide and these protests are in support of Palestine but the fact of the matter is some of them are given the pro Palestine side a bad look if you’re Pro Palestine you’re anti-zionist because Zionism is the belief that there should be a Jewish national state established where Palestine currently stands zionists and their supporters have tried to Brand anti-zionism as anti-Semitism you other words accusing Palestine supporters of hating Jews just because they’re Jewish I said in my third MCSG video that this was the most ass backwards belief I’ve seen many of them have and I stand by that so the protest many of them simply want to see change with how the Biden Administration has handled the war in the Middle East but a few bad apples have completely lost the plot and started with super revolutionary rhetoric that just makes the rest of us who support the cause look bad it is an important cause but we have to we have to look rational for it to get us anywhere you know what I’m saying to State my own position early into the video I am a reformist I believe that there is room for improvement within our own government and President Biden isn’t hopeless on this issue there needs to be a lot of push to really make anything happen and for Biden’s whole lifetime pretty much there’s been this whole thing where it’s like Jews should have a right to exist and have their own religious State be in Israel and while I can go on about the religious State bit I’m sure everyone watching agrees that yes Jews should have a right to exist I don’t think there’s anybody that really disagrees with that there’s a lot of conditioning to be undone on the president’s part but I think out of the two viable candidates for this election the guy that we’ve got right now is much more prone to doing more for Gaza you have to get the job done it’s a horrible job to do but they have to respond when they do when when there’s an attack a sneak attack like an October 7th that’s so violent and such hatred you have to clean it out you have to clean out the cancer and you have to let them do their job and frankly it has to be done fast because this is not sustainable for anybody the job has to be done it has to be done fast the United States has to get courage and the United States has to speak up nobody knows where the US stands right now I think Biden is not on the side of Israel and he’s making a tremendous mistake you have to clean up the terror that we witnessed on October 7th I don’t want to shame any pro Palestinian people for not wanting to vote for Biden but I do wish I had the power to psychically transmit that clip to everyone’s PRS once a week here is a list of what Biden’s already done none of this is stuff that the guy you just heard talking would ever even think of doing and yet revolutionaries on social media and revolutionaries participating in protests on campuses either don’t know or don’t care and everyone wishes that we’d stop sending Aid to Israel but we’ve got a contractual obligation to help defend our allies if it were me I wouldn’t consider Israel’s current regime to be anywhere close to the kinds of people I’d want our country to be friendly with but that contract is why we have to keep sending Aid their way and it’s more complicated than just terminating the contract all of a sudden a lot of revolutionaries don’t really understand this they’d rather direct their hatred at people like Biden or or AOC or whoever even though they can’t do anything to reverse that contract just on whim not to mention Israel stands against Iran which was a whole thing but America also stands against Iran so it’s a hell of a lot more complicated than most really realize another thing that a lot of revolutionaries are doing is protest voting or refusing to vote for Biden or Trump you know the only two people who have any shot at being in the Oval Office come January instead they are claiming that Biden and Trump are the same thing which ends up being a funny example of horses shoot Theory and they’re either going to vote for randoms like RFK Jr or gornell west or Jill Stein none of which will break even 3% of the vote Nationwide or just straight up not voting at all this is a tweet that I like a lot and it’s honestly pretty funny how this makes revolutionaries fume a lot of them are really just what’s called slacktivist saying what they say just to say it without actually doing anything and the protesters you see all the news and that barely clear this bar and it’s been cringeworthy saying what some of the people on my side of the overall cause have been saying because it makes the rest of us look crazy for being pro Palestine the the conflict should end these are my positions on everything um like and it really does all boil down to war is bad peace is good but you know how it goes what’s inevitably going to happen with a lot of revolutionaries is even though they never passed a government or civics class in high school School eventually it’s going to occur to them once they remember previous elections like 2016 that Cornell West is not going to beat Joe Biden and Donald Trump at the same time and if anything West receiving even 3% more of the vote than he normally would in a lot of Swing States we’ll hand the election right over to Donald Trump and then we’ll get to hear their incessant complaining for another four years like we did from 2017 to 2021 among all the other stuff that’ll happen thank Muslim banss National AB abortion ban potentially expanding the Supreme Court majority to 7 to2 who would then go about repealing a burf vijes gay marriage Lawrence V Texas privacy very important privacy case griswell v Connecticut contraceptives that type of deal and plenty more now a lot of the people saying they want to vote for Cornell West or Jill Stein do share an ideology with Joe Biden like the guy is very Progressive and stuff like the inflation reduction act has been some of the most Progressive legisl signed into law in recent history but the less intelligent revolutionaries who won’t wake up eventually have been known to say that they’d accept a trump victory in subsequent four years if it meant the Democrats experience a punishing defeat they want this defeat to then get the Democratic party to swing further left and start to adopt their ideologies in order to win them back to their voting base further polarizing the country here’s the problem with that logic it already happened in 2016 Republican Donald Trump beat Democrat Hillary Clinton in that Year’s presidential election via the Electoral College diard Bernie Sanders supporters in Wisconsin Michigan and Pennsylvania have been getting the blame for doing exactly what I’ve to describe these revolutionaries I’ve been thinking about doing and guess what happened the Supreme Court had its first opportunity in 25 years to finally tilt away from a 5-4 conservative majority with the death of Hardline conservative Justice antonian Alia in early 2016 Senate Republicans stalled out President Obama’s attempts to replace him with merri Garland but had Hillary Clinton not lost that November she could have replaced scalo with someone either nonpartisan or you know leaning a bit more liberal personally I’m fed up with how politicized the court has become and has been since around 2000 but you get the idea anyway Trump appoints Hardline conservative Neil Gorsuch in 2017 and since the president in office shared an ideology with Justice Anthony Kennedy he was was able to retire then in 2018 Trump then appointed Brett Kavanagh to replace Justice Kennedy and you know Kavanaugh was commonly known for the whole rape scandal plan out during his Senate hearings so the court was still 5 to four meaning they couldn’t reliably start doing stuff like reversing Row versus Wade the court case that protected abortion rights Along Comes the fall of 2020 and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at age 87 dies of cancer in a move that surprised at absolutely no one Trump appointed Hardline conservative Amy Coney Barrett to the court and then around two years later dubs versus Jackson Women’s Health Organization happened and the three Trump appointees plus the other three conservative justices voted to overturn the protections put in place by ro versus Wade and Planned Parenthood of southern Pennsylvania versus Casey they could not have reliably done this with Kennedy and Ginsburg on the court anyway sorry that that was a whole tangent my fault for going on about that for so but the bottom line Hillary Clinton lost and for the next couple of decades we’re going to be wondering if condoms or abortion pills are going to become illegal all of a sudden the point of that was to tell any of y’all in swing States thinking about voting for Kanye or whoever because Biden bad that elections have consequences you know that 1864 Draconian abortion law in Arizona that existed 50 years before it even became a state the Arizona Republicans just dredged out of their ass and instituted well their governor who won by less than one percentage point just overturned it and of course it didn’t even have to come to that if Clinton had won in 2016 but you get the picture if you are a left leaning individual in Wisconsin Michigan Pennsylvania Arizona Georgia North Carolina or Nevada and you were thinking about voting for Jill Stein or not voting at all this November that H tangine I just went off on will happen again but for gay marriage contraceptives important privacies and plenty more I guarantee you like this is an election that everybody needs to not sit out but at the same time don’t waste your vote ultimately I can’t force you to vote for whoever but part of why reformist clown on revolutionary so much is because most revolutionaries make decisions without thinking them through if many of them thought for more than 10 seconds about rising up against the United States government for any reason they understand it’s never going to happen logistically and they would seek other forms of bringing about change which is why a lot of the protesters uh on these college campuses uh they they’ve been doing they’ve been doing a good thing you know they they’ve been they’ve been saying like bring peace to Gaza and that type of deal which is which is good uh but it’s it’s the it’s the Revolutionary rhetoric like tear down the government H erase the ruling class it’s like that’s that’s what’ll get you clowned on it’s like you could be right about all that but how are you going to make it happen firebombing at Walmart but back to the protest for a moment the police response from a number of cities like for Colombia and then especially the University of Texas at Austin has been appalling a good 99% of them condemn Hamas just as much as Israel and arresting them for protesting peacefully is a very bad look for these police departments and I know I’m just a guy with 1,00 Subs talking to his computer screen but these arrests need to stop and everyone protesting the Biden administration’s response to the war in Middle East peacefully F should be allowed to do so revolutionary or not because that’s in the First Amendment you should be allowed to protest the actions of your government that said again multiple things can be true at once some protesters think Biden is sending individual City police departments to arrest people I think I’m going to let y’all figure that one out to be honest I don’t know how to feel about my generation making hating Biden the quote unquote cool thing to do I mean maybe we just don’t like Authority but it is what it is and I’m not a fan for my own reasons but he’s done some commendable stuff while he’s been in office as well as having not tried to set social progress back Aton which I can respect enough anyway I might just be fired up over all this I don’t know I’m just a simple pragmatist who wants to see progress I just have a different way of going about it compared to a lot of the people you see on the news and on social media for some of y’all this video will affirm what you already felt about some people being way too radical on social media and they’re making fools of themselves for others this will rile y’all up and it might make y’all lose respect for me but oh well I don’t think I’m changing any Minds with this video I just want to help more people stay grounded when it comes to this stuff and help push for a more peaceful world and of course get in there without firebombing any Walmarts as always I’m open to a dialogue in the comments about this and again I wholeheartedly support a ceasefire in the release of the hostages on both ends and I am pro- innocent civilians rather than Pro either government so that is going to wrap up my thoughts on this whole revolutionary versus reformist type divide debate whatever you want to call it and like again it’s like I I know I’m saying this for like the third time in this video but the conflict is very important we just need to not act the fool at home about it it’s like firebombing a Walmart in like Nebraska or whatever is not going to get Israel or M to stand down it just isn’t and yeah some some of these revolutionaries think that is what’s going to happen you get the idea we we could have a better president but I it’s it’s not either of the two main guys I promise um but I do think that there is some room for for push with Biden whereas with Trump I mean I showed y’all that clip about him saying we need to clear out the cancer that type of deal things could be better things could be better but they could also be a hell of a lot worse and what’s going on here at home in the United States is very important very very important and I I think everybody watching this if you can vote you should uh but again be sure not to waste that vote understand what you value and then vote accordingly for the one out of the two guys who will you know m match your ideology more it’s like that’s what that’s what elections are all about you vote for the person who will best represent your interests that can also win so that’s kind of how it is anyway thank you all for watching I’ve been nice go be sure to like subscribe and leave like 50 comments for the algorithm my Discord is down in the description if you want to chat
