Great channel Imho.


Saw this and instead of disappearing in the random YT thread I felt it could deserve it's own thread just to see how you all feel about this video's content.

It's about a couple of facets and how they may cause for a decline in intelligence, health, etc.

If not, feel free to close it mods.

Sorry, as an American, I do not possess the attention span or intelligence to watch any videos longer than 35 seconds.

Can you give me the TikTok version?

 

[EviLore]

lol, yes, Kensington Ave in Philadelphia, that's what America looks like. Turned off the video there.

I'm not that familiar and don't get why. But ok.

We're thick as pigshit as well. It's not an America problem.

I Agree.

I mean I guess the video's title as well as my thread title fucked up what I think is a interesting video regarding, indeed, western world issues. FML

Kensington Ave is basically the literal worst street in America. It’s the lowest of the low, and not at all representative of the greater America. It’s like saying all of England is like Jaywick (only worse). It’s just a bad, over-reaching example that seems to be designed to show the worst of the worst.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

I thought as much.

Btw I'm non partisan.

No hate here from me.

I’m definitely gonna check the video out later, it’s probably pretty interesting. I haven’t watched it yet, but if it’s highlighting the worst parts of America, it’s just important to remember that’s not what the whole country is like.

For example, my house is located in a nice suburb where I’ve never even once heard so much as a police siren. I’ve never had a package stolen from my porch, and I leave my doors unlocked most days.

Oh i definitely am aware of that. I really am. It's about social media, fast food etc and how all (society) changed in a relative short amount of time.

Then again that goes for most western countries I reckon.

Thank for giving genuine feedback. Appreciated.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Also not a fan of showing the worst of the worst in such a context. Agreed.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Loves the votes from those who haven't watched the video.

 

[AJUMP23]

Portions of America are dumb, but most of it isn't.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Did you watch the video or just reacting to the OP?

 

[Big Baller]

I wanna fuck all American porn actresses

Shame. You're intelligent enough to look past such hyperbolic imagery and know it's put there for a reason. It does exist, doenst it?

Using it for it's intended purpose should be frowned upon indeed. But to neglect the whole video because of it..

Then again it's your prerogative Boss man

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

I've already asked to nuke this thread so have fun in the mean time folks.

Sorry, can't hear you from the surface of the moon. You are too many MILES away, I guess.

Why this personal dig?

Was that really neccessary?

The vid is on YouTube on we use text to communicate simple ass motherfucker

 

[belmarduk]

Twenty eight commercial breaks for this one YouTube video? No thanks.

I saw people claiming that this channel was AI-generated in the comments, not sure if it is true.

Exhibit A of porn brain

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Nice irony in these responses lmao.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

On behalf of all Americans we ain't got time for some random, hour long YouTube.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Yeah. Imagine.

 

[Big Baller]

America yall

 

[tamago84]

As a korean living in texas i think, imo, murica has become too diverse for its own good. I want to retire in s korea or something

Excessive use of TikTok can lead to Tourette’s syndrome? What?

It's one of the worst places in Philadephia to go, if not the whole northern east coast.

I grew up in Philadelphia, even as a pre teen you knew that was a bad area.

If the video is using that as a quick example of the decline of western civilization, they're just picking low hanging fruit.

As for the decline of intelligence or low I.Q. there is a factor to take into consideration. We're the third largest population in the world. Statistically there will be room for lower intelligence.

America yall

Great post. And again I'm sure it goes for other countries as well. Thanks for being objective and informative.

Not sure if you've seen this doc, but Channel 5 is one of the best independent journalists out there right now. He spent some time in Philly growing up and he goes into he history of how kennsington came to be. He does a good job humanizing the people. The Vegas tunnels doc is a great follow up if you like this

Where did you say you lived again? I won't tell anyone else, promise.

 

[Mistake]

It's a whole bunch of factors, honestly. The western world has been in decline for a while. I'd say the biggest reasons are diet, pharmaceutical industries, and the push for no accountability. Like pigs being led to slaughter. You'll see tons of commercials for all sorts of problems, but not one saying the benefits of exercise or drinking more water.

A lot of other nations have been improving though, so maybe things are just evening out

I may be a dumb American but I ain't dumb enough to watch some hourlong clickbait bullshit OP.

[Dr.Morris79]

I'll watch the video in a bit, but Americans? Fucking love em. I want to be there, buy a V8, guns, lots and lots of guns and eat massive steaks. I'm a simple man.

I don't care if they're considered stupid, I'm stupid. Let me in!

 

[Maiden Voyage]

If we're 2 points below you, OP, what does that make you?

Shit, I mean...hamburgers, high fructose insulin cocktails

[ÆMNE22A!C]

His point's if you watch more than 20 seconds can be extrapolated to many other countries. I'm done with this thread.
