That's his whole point and he's quite right about it. It's become about popularity rather than a cause. You can only be offended about something if your chosen topic is flavour of the month. Otherwise nobody cares.
Has political correctness actually gone mad?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

Going back quite a while but that special he did when he goes to the hood and there was a baby on the corner is hilarious as was the True Hollywood stories. He was definitely funny.
Absolutely. When he was at the top of his game he was absolutely hilarious.
That's some proper bullshit. If she were to make a point about about then they'd probably call her entitled
Well that’s weird. Presumably for benefit of blind people?
Side note. They didn’t declare their pronouns.

Do you follow altright people on twitter, or did you get the link from someone else?
So greenwashing is when corporations put on an ostentatious display of environmental concern for marketing purposes.
Has anyone coined the word “wokewashing” yet? If not, can I have first dibs?

I'm almost undecided on this, but say I'm blind, and you're telling me you're a white guy? That's gonna tip the balance of what you have to say in this or that way for me? I don't get it..
I only follow people I find interesting in some way. What's it to you?
I was just wondering why you're posting that stuff. Just a couple of days ago someone else posted the tweet of a nazi, but in that case it was an innocent mistake. Not what's happening here.
What's your favorite topic? Bugmen, troons, the great replacement? Maybe some Curtis Yarvin style fascism? Very interesting stuff.
Probably very helpful for blind racists.
I don't get it. You some kind of weirdo?
Probably, but not as weird as that fascist Lomez. The performative empty aesthetics is pretty tiring, though, but expected from someone who hangs out with Moldbug.
You're really into this stuff, huh?
As much as you're into someone awkwardly describing themselves on stage, I guess.
As much as what?
Hi, I'm Eyepopper, a white Caucasian male, wearing a black sweater, khaki slacks, with a visible erection protruding from them.... that tells you everything about how excited I am to be here today!
You didn't say your pronouns.

Oh, oh I'm sorry I like to be referred to as "It".
Those Microsoft videos are for the visually impaired.
No doubt Shapiro/Crowder/Jeremy Griggs will have a 10 plus minute video on YouTube about it.

It's pretty weird how people here don't even react to them describing hair colour, beard, glasses, but because they include skin colour then there's suddenly some agenda at play. The video is awkward, sure, but it has absolutely nothing to do with PC gone mad.
They did declare their pronouns. Why would the blind people give a shit about how they look like? Do they even what a caucasian guy looks like?

Now you’re just making stuff up.
Did that guy just refer to himself as a Security Evangelist?
Not in the second video.
And presumably it helps them have a mental picture of what they’re hearing? Although hard not to suspect this is done for performative reasons rather than a load of visually impaired folk desperately in need of the descriptions.
But if they are born blind, can they even visualize people?
No but there’s a hell of a lot of people who are blind that could once see. Not sure of the exact % probably the majority.
EDIT: Quick google reveals only 7% of blind people lost their sight before the age of 20.
Is it Lomez or Balaji Srinivasan who is altright?
I've always wondered that.
If a person goes blind through illness/accident they at least still have the concept of colour, objects etc. but to be blind from birth and to not have a clue what yellow is or something like that, blows my fecking mind.
They're only blind mate, they still have the sense of touch which helps them to visualise things around them including other humans.
Lomez. Second guy is some Silicon Valley tech bro. Both connected to Peter Thiel, though, but Lomez very pheripherally I think. Neither very fond of democracy.
I read they mainly remember people through their smell.
I'm talking visualising in their heads what a human looks like.
Can't they just touch themselves?
