You can always come out of the closet as having internalized previous oppressions and become the first victim

okay I'll have another try here:
So there is a german investigative journalist currently being held under arrest for several months now in Venezuela.
His YT channel is called "Billy Six":
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwzo_QHMYp5F2LHVez0dgg

He is suffering of the Dengue Fever and being denied medication. All of this, because he is being accused of "spying"


His last documentary with english subs can be seen on Youtube aswell:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaeBIppXr2M&t=1084s

Billy is ignored by the german government, because he is very critical of illegal immigration and Merkel's politics in general. Where in the similar case of "Deniz Yüczel", the german governemnt reacted very harsh and rapidly, when Yüczel was arrested in Turkey...
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/feb/27/journalist-for-german-newspaper-arrested-in-turkey

I am here to spread awareness of Billy's case, to have hopefully someone like Tim using his platform to help a fellow journalist out! Please Tim, help our guy Billy :/
His family is having a hard time to contact him, because neither Venezuela, nor the german foreign ministry is being very helpful...
Billy is facing jailtime for UP TO 28 YEARS!!!! This is unacceptable....

the only publication comes from a german far right wing newspaper
and therin lies the problem
https://jungefreiheit.de/pressemitteilung/2018/venezuela-geheimdienst-verschleppt-deutschen-kriegsreporter-billy-six/
thats why no one in media wants to help him
because they dont want to be associated with the "far right"
also afaik there is no publication in english
thats why I reach out to Tim, because he could be Billies chance to get news out

the "Junge Freiheit" reported about it, because they are (who would have thought) also very critical about (illegal) immigration and Merkel's politics
I follow Billy for quite a while now and am really worried... please help T_T
Also another quite famous right wing Youtuber talked about that issue and he was hesitant to do so, because he feared that might endanger Billies situation, since Billy would then be even more associated with the far right... But no one else talks about it, so the situation is quite dire...

unfortunately in germen, sorry :/
just found out about https://twitter.com/hashtag/freebilly

okay I'lll leave it with that, hope you guys can do something about that :/

@4AM_critter 🐉 You should let that guy know that Hitler didn't rise to power because of freedom of speech if the topic comes up again. He rose to power in spite of a lack of freedom of speech. He was banned from giving public speeches in the Weimar republic, and that became a powerful propaganda tool for the Nazis because he was something of a martyr.

WTF

is it the 1st of april yet???

the Army stuff??

what do they expect them to do? Throw cotton balls at the enemy until they bleed? And then run away?

Stick the gamers on the drones tbf, see how that pans out

toxic gamers!

Yeah, what's new??

especially with like 10 year olds

Shit really hits the fan:
https://youtu.be/gRs3o7odxDc

Heavy Metal was always progressive. Leftists are cannibals.

nah i just meant, get toxic asshole gamers as drone pilots.

the will go for the kills, while a normal gamer would probably ask if that is a kid down there ...

toxic ones dont care 😄 they tunnel vision so hard

Nobody's following this incident out of Houston, huh?

https://abc13.com/5023831/?sf205479640=1

As far as I can see, a WOC was killed in a drive by by a male POC and everyone claimed it was a white man who did it.

Mmhmm

But also, as it turns out

The suspect was a facebook friend of the victim's mother.

Yeah I remember them saying it was race related

The police said that

Possible "Gang Relation" motives?

I'm hoping beyond hope that this wasn't something more premeditated.

I mean, regardless of what happened, it's effing tragic.

It can only really get more tragic.

I don't see anything good about this

Nor do i see anything good about that @AircraftSparky

why did TED X platform a pro-pedo

I don't comprehend the attempted mainstreaming of these ideas

look at ABC mainstreaming Desmond is Amazing, there's a video of him dancing in a strip club to "Im' just a girl"

yet they do it under the TED X name

so yes, it is an endorsement in my view

TEDx is different from Ted Talks

agreed

As it says, basically literally anyone can host a TEDx

when does Progressives actually stand up and state some things are not acceptable

The organizers of any particular TEDx is responsible for those.

once you utilize the TED brand, that speaks volumes don't you think

Was it TEDx or Ted Talks that had the pedo apologist on?

TEDx

wouldn't it be prudent for the organization of TED actually vet who they license their name to?

Ted Talks and TEDx are constantly used in college classes. Especially on the social science sides. They have quite a reputation for good content overall, this just seems a bit over the top. My opinion.

Not how they work.

maybe it should be something they pay a bit more attention to, since it can obviously be used against them. What happens when a white supremacist gives a speech under the TEDx name?

@AircraftSparky https://youtu.be/KTJn_DBTnrY

He infiltrated a Ted Talk at a college just by giving them bullshit credentials

LMAO

So yeah you have a good point

It's fucking epic btw, watch it

I am watching it

Sam Hyde should've been a clue

They're apparently clueless

So I tend to see Ted Talks and TEDx as some of the forefront of Progressive talking points. They have their fingers on the pulse if you will.

I'm wondering where is that line where people go, nope

nope, this I cannot even remotely support.

evidently Pedophilia isn't that line

its quite sickening

Mag-lev trains to the moon? Seriously?

Oof

Just watched it again myself

yeah that was cringy

People started laughing but I assume they let him finish because he may have been parodying for their benefit

But he was really just mocking Ted Talks and progressive behavior

"Pat yourself on the back"

he truly could've done better

Well to be fair I think he was shocked to be allowed on and then went with it

yeah the circle jerk of progressivism sometime is sickening

I am not a fan of participation trophies

cangrats, you exist....everyone give him a hand

I'm a middle school history teacher, and I see that bs all day long

Neat

I really hated my middle school history teacher but he was just a dick

He was later fired over sexual misconduct

well I do employ somethings I learned in the military into my classroom

I'm a reporter in training myself

so I intimidate students until they get to know me

How so

very cool

well I'm loud, many kids aren't used to that

Ah yeah the military background

I use certain behaviors to drive home points

and I don't back down

Sounds cool to me

and I teach them to be assertive

Do you call people out?

always

Interesting

For what?

usually in a mocking manner

well if they come up with completely ideological answers I ask them to expand on that

Ah goos

good *

then get them to place it in a rael world setting

and when it is found to be terrible we joke about it an d move on

It's always good to make people follow through on ideas and not just let them regurgitate talking points

nothing against the student, but against the idea

I never attack the individual, just the ideas

Too many kids and adults just regurgitate to fit in

they like me, the students

Is that what you think or do they tell you

I wanted to be a teacher before I landed in journalism

I force them to look at how things are

I didn't want to be a teacher, I wanted to get into public relations

in politics

Odd

but landed a teaching job

I heard journalists tend to become PR

well I am a Communication major with a History minor

I see

I'm a philosophy major but I ended up loving journalism

As a teacher how does the district make you handle the old cusual racism from materials pre-1930s?

but its hard for a 40 yr old vet to get started in such things

we don't use material from the 1930's lol

the books I use are less than 2 years old

although I do pull out some old books to show the students how things were interpretedearlier

And they don't cover history?

well we talk about everything

New books, new perspectives

slavery

and such

I just tell them to suck it the fuck up

not in so many words of course

I see so

You're creating the conservative gen Z I heard about

That's interesting

I teach mostly illegal immiggrants

I'm not creating them

So you live in the south

I do not impose my beliefs at all

I would be curious to see the look on kids faces when watching the orginal KIng Kong

I live in OK

Ah nvm

Damn

I give them the resources and then probe them for their ideas on it

@Khanclansith was king Kong racist?

the original could be seen that way

Honestly I saw Song of the South and didn't see anything wrong at all

of course everything is racist

bwahaha

Really

How they handled the "Black Villagers" and the "Chinese Cook" would cause college brats to fill their diapers

I would love to debate anyone who says it is racist

Well shit

The slaves were freed and found work

I had to debate a trans activist on biology once in a college classroom

it was interesting

They liked their job and were treated humanely and with respect

@AircraftSparky go on

basically, I just quoted biology to the individual, and the definition given by the APA on Gender Dysphoria

Good

I was said to be a transphobe because I would not recognize any gender other than male and female

I told them, science is not about about feelings

You did that in the middle of class?

females creates eggs and males produce sperm

yes

Awesome

the professor wanted to see how his graduate assistant would fair against a grown adult

I graduated at age 40

so I was about 39 at this time

See that is part of what made me wanna be a teacher

I want to see how kids are changing

I like the job, teaching, you can really make a positive impact

I get told horror stories from the kids weekly

My mother was a teacher, I don't want to teach at a public school

I have some that are cutters and such

Self harm?

but they'll tell ya anything if you're not judgemental

yeah

Yeah they crave attention

it takes a soft touch at times

But

Not to be rude

I know they need to be cared for

the real problem is knowing when to be firm

Right

and to what lengths you go in being firm

Probably when they resort to the idea that they should die etc

They blame themselves for things but punish themselves too hard without fixing anything

Fix it and stop hurting yourself

But then you say "you matter" etc

actually, its funny, I've started a few programs on campus that has helped them get distracted from their normal everyday teenage angsty shit

Like what

I am working on building a YouTube channel for the kids

showing them ways to make money

be creative

Sounds like you're a natural teacher now

How long have you been doing this

it helps them by focusing on something other than how they're limited outside of school

first year

God damn

second semester

I don't half-ass

Well don't get tired

You have 30 more years of this legacy

the kids don't know my channel, but I have a YouTube channel already

Careful with that

I won't let them see it, because I do political commentary

Kids are very tech savvy

and it gets a bit graphic

they are

I suggest deleting it

Tbh

nah

the school is aware of it

Oh.

and I keep it restricted

Good then

I'm honest with my administration

the first exercise I did with a classroom of undocumented immigrants was I wrote on the board "Is America great?"

that prompted a huge discussion to show the kids, I want their opinions expressed regardless of my views on them

it worked well

and yes, the wording was intentional

I get it

So what happened

I'm guessing most said not good enough

we discussed how some were scared of Trump and how they think he is unfair

others showed actually liking him

it was surreal

but productive

children learned to not apologize for their beliefs

You opened their minds but also created a divide lol

That's good though

interestingly, the kids work well together

Even when they disagree?

it opened a dialogue that honestly helped them move pass their differences

yes
