He is referring to the guy who made the video who didn't know Leo was talking about SD.

   It could have been presented differently and a little bit more fair, done with more charity and good faith, maybe tried to steel man some of Leo's points. At least present in a more objeftive take, like a CNN reporter or something. But no, the video was a bit biased against Leo, being uncharitable and bad faith, painting Leo as cult leader running a death cult. At least he had the decency to not go hard with the triangle symbol and gave some benefit of the doubt.

   The comment section reinforced my misanthropic view of humanity again. Can we all just stop behaving like aninals and slow down, and think a bit more actively and attentively?

 

If Turkey Tom wants to focus on merely the parts of Actualized.org that he's concerned about, I don't consider that unreasonable.

@ZenAlex That’s not really what he did. He twisted things to fit his frame. Then at the end was like “Yeah, it’s not really a cult and people seem to leave mostly positive comments and the forum is very active” like what?

You think that is what happened? It's probably some ToS stuff.

His video was at like 800k views with the word "death" in the title. So he already siphoned all the views his videos would normally get without any trouble. I don't see why he would make the change so late if it is ToS. If it is cause of ToS, I don't think the video would get taken down for using that word. At most, it might prevent the video getting promoted in the algorithm or something. There are long-standing videos with many views that use the word "death". 

Then again, it is odd that he would change the previous title. But, I think his video was much more charitable than the other Leo hit-pieces. I don't find it hard to imagine that he would do it. I think he also had some previous controversy regarding slandering people, so it makes sense that he would be cognizant of such things.

   You're right, I, as the good Samaritan I am, reported the video.

   You can thank me for that later.

   I don't like the person, but it's not nice name calling the person. Turkey Tom??? More like Tom and Jerry!?

   Then again, in some of my rap posts, I do say whacky corny stuff all the time?

Why is EVERY generic Youtube cynic/skeptic bro some early 20's dipshit who hasn't accomplished anything in life, but somehow give off the impression they know everything xD? They all have the same sarcastic, passive aggressive cadence in their voice too. As well as having this disarming charm that they could be your friend, but God forbid you ever hear what they say behind your back. The worst kind of rat.

I swear this criticizing random people and bitching about culture shtick is the easiest grift you can do online. All you need is a decent mic and clever gamer tag and you could get 200K subs in less than a year. All your content is already made for you by millions of people out in the world trying to create something of this life (whether it's "good" or not).

Also I didn't want to say it at the time, but I think enough time has passed. From what I read there wasn't any publicly available proof that that certain person committed suicide, unless they disclosed some evidence privately that I wasn't aware of.

It all coincidently happened around the time Connor Murphy was having his psychedelic induced mental breakdown and hardcore trolling this forum and harassing Leo with videos. Connor literally said, "I am going to fake my own death". Then a short time later the suicide drama happened on this forum. I'm not one for conspiracy but that is just my theory. I'm completely open to that not being the case though.

   TRUE! I wish there were more regulations about these free speech platforms. Social media and internet cultures like Tik Tok, Twitch, and others are just poisoning the minds of the viewers with BS like this. No wonder Plato or Socrates hated democracy, it makes most people who are dumb think their opinion is universally valid and feel they so self entitled they have a say. Not all opinions or democratized mediums are equal.

   It's unreasonable to make slanderous and defamatory videos on alleged events. It's all the more reasonable to report such misinformed delusional videos!
