"There will be many viruses in the future. They create a virus and spread it around the world so capitalistic companies can make massive profits [off selling the vaccine].”

A brutal reality check. Prominent commentator Tim Dillon exposes the absolute sickness of modern society. We are conditioned to casually scroll past footage of Israel burning innocent toddlers alive and then order takeout. We are being trained to be literal sociopaths.
A 13-year-old Canadian kid uploaded R&B covers to YouTube in 2008 from his bedroom. A talent manager named Scooter Braun stumbled on the videos and signed him.
For the next 15 years, Braun controlled everything. Tours, branding, business deals, public image. The kid became the biggest pop star on the planet, sold 150 million records, racked up 32 billion Spotify streams, and had three Diamond-certified singles before turning 25.
Then in 2022, he got hit with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Partial facial paralysis. Cancelled the world tour. Disappeared from public life entirely.
Here's where it gets interesting.
In January 2023, he sold his entire 290-song catalog to Hipgnosis for $200 million. Every song he'd ever released. "Baby." "Sorry." "Love Yourself." All of it. Gone. At 28 years old, he cashed out his past.
Then he dropped Scooter Braun. After 15 years. No manager. No agent. For the first time in his career, nobody was making decisions for him.
Fast forward to this weekend. Coachella calls. He picks up the phone himself. Rolling Stone confirmed he negotiated his own headlining deal directly with Goldenvoice. No agent commission. No manager cut. $10 million for two weekends, and he kept all of it.
Then he walked onto the biggest stage in music, sat down behind a MacBook, and pulled up YouTube.
He played "Baby" from 2010. He played his bedroom covers from 2008. He harmonized with his 13-year-old self in front of 100,000 people. Katy Perry joked about whether he had YouTube Premium.
Half the internet called it lazy. The other half called it genius.
They're both wrong. It was a receipt.
He sold his catalog for $200 million. He fired the man who discovered him. He negotiated his own deal. And then he went back to the exact platform where it all started and said: I built this from a laptop. I'm headlining Coachella from a laptop. And for the first time in my life, every dollar is mine.
The kid from YouTube just closed the loop.
All yall have no idea what ur talking about. This man has been through every rough patch in the industry since he was 12. If he wants to relive his past via YouTube on a giant stage by himself, let him do so! 32 y/o JB duetting with his young self made me smile! #BIEBERCHELLA
The President endorsing Lindsey Graham, right on the heels of his infantile trashing of all of the most popular right wing news show hosts in the country is quite clarifying.
If MAGA is Lindsay Graham and Mark Levin, then great.
Fuck MAGA.
I appreciate @bennyjohnson for discussing this critical issue on his show. He is asking the right questions, and bringing it to the MAGA audience. I encourage everyone to give it a listen.
I don’t think @TheoVon is crazy at all.
I’ve met and spoken to him and from our conversations I found him to be very reasonable, rational and down to earth.
I’m only posting this incase a “theos been hospitalised because he’s crazy” attack starts.
Let the man speak his mind?
This is America.
Dave Chappelle: "They said "But Saudi Arabia killed a journalist."
"I mean, Israel's killed 240 journalists... I didn't know y'all were still counting."
The FBI couldn’t be bothered to investigate the Epstein Israeli pedo ring but it’s investigating a war hero who’s blowing the whistle…
Thats how corrupt our government has become.
We are legitimately facing a pandemic of pedophilia in this country.
The courts are too soft, the institutions entrusted with our children are engaged in active grooming and many parents are too distracted to see what is plainly unfolding in our overtly, hypersexualized culture.
There is no 5 year old in the world that is explicitly gay, lesbian, transgender or heterosexual.
Small children do not think about sex and sexuality unless they have been groomed to do so by an adult.
These are the facts.
