    MrBeast recognizes the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan

    God dammit, westerners are so childish when shit doesn't go their way. They are the government of Afghanistan. That they're an abhorrent theocracy doesn't change the fact that they're the ones running the country. For that matter, Russia seized Crimea nine fucking years ago. In Crimea, the official language is Russian, the official currency is the ruble, state services such as mail and utilities are Russian, there are border checks to get in from places that aren't Russia, and so on. Literally upset that reality doesn't match their desire, so they're just pretending that it does.

    He really makes normal people dunk on Israel and supports Palestine independence as well.

    What if we did a communist revolution but Mr. Beast was financing it and using it as content for his videos

    I'm 100% confident Mr. Beast doesn't edit his own videos, didn't tell his editor to make these distinctions, and didn't even notice until now

    Now that I think about it it's totally plausible he outsourced it to some global south country and that's why there's so many good takes in the map lol

    I think you're onto something. At my last office job, before my job was finally automated, more and more of my work was to simply email entire projects to random firms in India, Kenya, Ghana, and other nations.

    In the 80s, there were lots of "sweepstakes" grifts that vaguely promised money for signing up for grifty nonsense.

    "MrBeast" is doing that tired old shit but in a more obnoxious way. debord-tired

    Mr Beast is more banal than that. He’s tapping in to the same economic model as game shows. Give away money/prizes with some spectacle attached, make content out of it, make more money selling the content than you spent on giveaways. Nothing really grifty about it, just boring. Anyone who thinks of him as a “philanthropist” is a gigantic rube, though.

    This is one of those things where either someone really smart put a lot of effort into it, or someone really dumb phoned it in. Incredibly funny regardless.
