He's talking!

Put the fries in the back.

Guys, Johnny Somali, the most hated streamer, just pled guilty to three criminal charges in South Korea.

This means he faces up to 10 years in prison.

On top of that, he has other charges that he still needs to fight, but it gets worse.

He showed up to court an hour late

because he got drunk on his live stream the night before and he said this.

I've been going to European Wax Center for years.

Like, I'm not even kidding, maybe eight years at this point.

Three weeks ago, I went to a location here in Manhattan.

Maybe like halfway, like five minutes in or so, I'm like looking at her and I'm like looking at her glasses and then I'm like,

are you wearing metaglasses?

And she's like, oh, yeah, I am.

But like, they're not charged.

They're not on.

Like, I promise.

I have to start off by saying, the world has always been a shithole.

It doesn't matter where you live, there's always degeneracy somewhere.

But now in this modern age, it's been exacerbated.

And not only that, it has been more exposed due to the fact

that everyone has a camera and a microphone in their back pocket.

So the question really is, is common decency dying or has it always just been this way?

I think to a certain degree, whatever answer you come up with is right because

when you really think about it especially in this digital age

people are doing certain things dancing around with degeneracy for views

for money for infamy back in the day people were just doing dumb shit to do dumb shit

that's just who they were or that's just what they wanted to do

but now people are getting paid to do this type of behavior

and sometimes it's not even that sometimes this is just who

that person is they don't know any better

or they can just care less it's all about them at the end of the day

that main character syndrome everything has to be about them everything just has to go their way

you could chalk it up to ignorance negligence it doesn't really matter all

that matters is that we expose this type of behavior

and shame it we need to let it be known

that we don't want this type of behavior within our society within our culture

it doesn't matter where you are across the world foolishness itself needs to be eradicated

now i understand that's a tall order people being dumb

and doing dumb things is never going to cease to exist however

when it comes to social media

we can curate what we see we can choose not to

support them not to give them views not to share it around

because of the controversy

or how edgy it is i mean just really think about

it there's some people who build their entire career off being

the villain whether it be on social media celebrities athletes whoever in their own spare time

they just want to be a villain they say

and do stupid stuff just to get a rise out of people

they know at the end of the day whatever they did is going to go viral

or at least be talked about

because of how brain dead

it is the engagement is going to be through the roof

people are going to be fighting in the comment section acting as

if morality and righteousness doesn't exist or inciting more destruction

because there's a subsect of people who really don't care they just want to watch the world burn

so that's exactly why they do what they do

and believe what they believe instead of directly going against who

they have a problem with they want to make everyone uncomfortable just to get their point across

already three four hours and now you're talking another get me to the gate i want off

or i'll take myself off okay here

you go these nurses in california were just fired after posting

a tiktok making fun of their patients at their ob -gyn

so this person right here she's the ringleader of this it was actually on her tiktok account

she had all of her nurses pose around a picture and said are patients allowed to leave you guys gifts? To

which then she posted pictures of her fellow nurses posing with

what people are saying is bodily fluid from their patients on the sheet here at their OBGYN.

And these are the gifts that they said that their patients are leaving them.

We love our gifts so much.

And they're making fun of the bodily fluid that these people ended up leaving on there because they're at a doctor's office.

This woman here even stuck her tongue out and got her face right beside it.

She said all shapes and sizes.

And then you had all of them post together and say, make sure to leave your healthcare workers sweet gifts like these.

And after that video went viral on TikTok, Sutter Health, who owned that doctor's office,

actually made a post saying that the woman who owned the account has been fired,

and the other people that were posing have been put on administrative leave.

I talked about this before, but when you really think about it, it's one thing to catch somebody candidly, to catch something in the act.

Most people don't know they're being recorded.

This is what they do.

However, it's another thing when you do something purposefully for the camera for social media.

And we all know the internet rewards the worst behavior.

Outrage spreads faster than kindness.

Rage bait, public arguments, humiliation rituals.

It always generates online engagement.

When it comes to the algorithm, it's never about morality or righteousness or just doing good it's always about what's controversial

and it's not necessarily a reflection on the social media platforms themselves

but often the people the people who use these platforms they like to see

that type of stuff that type of behavior the ridiculousness the foolishness

so now you understand that's why people post this type of content willingly

because they know people are going to want to see this oh

it's goofy it's funny

it's out of the ordinary enough to where people are going to be talking about it another thing

that i want to point out that nobody really talks about is how individualism has increasingly become more about self -obsession.

Whenever you watch content online, it's rarely a couple.

It's never a group.

It's always just one person.

One person sharing their ideas, their thoughts, opinions, comments on something, whatever.

This all puts us in a self -obsessed view.

Of course, there's still groupthink.

The fact that a lot of people get their ideas from people online that they don't even know, part of the herd mentality.

100

But what I'm specifically talking about is how everyone thinks their ideas, their opinions matter because

101

when we consume content on social media

102

it looks exactly the same what they did today what they believe what they just bought where they just went

103

so then people want to replicate

104

that within their own lives look what i just bought look

105

where i just went oh my gosh my relationship is

106

so great but they never show their dude

107

or put them on camera to talk about it

108

so now you can understand how

109

that would transition into real life people taking loud phone calls in public blocking the aisles

110

while trying to film content and this is a big one

111

that a lot of people don't really care about

112

but it's 50 50 refusing to return shopping carts

113

that says a lot about your personality just overall treating public

114

spaces as your own personal playground where you can do

115

and say anything that you want regardless of the fact

116

that you have to share this space with other people

117

when you really think about it social media doesn't encourage community people coming together now you could make the argument

118

that it does but that's a certain subsection on the internet in all reality it's more individualistic especially

119

when it comes to influencers

120

and content creators everyone's trying to figure out how we're more different than how we are alike

121

or specifically how they're the main character how they're more unique than everyone else the fact

122

that they make more money or they do this specific thing for a job

123

and basically how everyone else is a peon

124

this lady's walking with her kid

125

and then gets bit by a dog on a flexi leash whose owner's not paying attention

126

then he proceeds to push her because she kicked his dog

127

and you know what she goes back at him this dog is clearly aggressive forward moving

128

and the guy has it on a flexi leash plus he's not paying attention to it a dog

129

that has aggressive behaviors charging growling barking biting needs to be safely managed

130

if they're out in public because it is not necessary to take a dog

131

that bites people to a park good morning so i don't know

132

if i'm just old but i just looked up what poster girl outfits is

133

and those outfits i thought they were used for like sexy time

134

and for dancers yo what is this it's a poster girl's dress

135

it should look like an american girl doll dress yo put

136

it to your body what the fuck one big thing

137

that i noticed that's negatively affecting our society is the fact

138

that everybody has this comment section brain

139

it seems like everyone is used to bickering it out in a comment section the simple fact

140

that they're willing to say things online that they would never say in real life.

141

And for some reason, that mentality has transcended social media.

142

Now people are saying and doing things in real life

143

and don't feel as if there's any type of repercussions for their actions or behavior.

144

And if there ever was, they would be quick to run to the authorities.

145

They try to mask their behavior as, oh it's just a joke, it's just a prank, I'm just trolling you bro,

146

ha look I rage baited you.

147

And another thing that I've noticed about this comment section brain is

148

that everyone feels as if they need to comment on things.

149

They feel like they need to share their opinion on things.

150

They really act as if people really care about what they think in real life.

151

Just because some weirdos online care about what you think doesn't mean that that transcends to real life.

152

And it just goes right back to what I said earlier about how individualism has become self -obsession.

153

All these other people are sharing their thoughts and opinions online, so I should too.

154

And how about this?

155

When I'm in real life, in public, I can do the same.

156

I can just blurt out things, say things, or just record or take a picture

157

and then give my thoughts

158

and posted online people are literally the comment section in real life

159

that's how they're acting i mean it's easier than ever to insult someone online

160

that you'll never meet post covid people have less practice with in -person social norms

161

or just being able to read everyday social cues during normal interactions

162

so no wonder people have less empathy no wonder people can care less no wonder

163

there's the memification of everything people are not existing in real life as they are online specifically

164

when it comes to interactions with other people

165

and i've mentioned this before in past videos the fact that

166

when you get your door dash order you want them to just leave it on the porch take a picture and go

167

when you pull up to the store you rather choose curbside than going in store to pick it up or how

168

if someone's down an aisle

169

you'll just go all the way around instead of interacting with them telling them to get by

170

or excuse me so

171

when it comes to people just existing in the real world you can see why there's this lack of common decency.

172

Say it, say it, say it, say it, you called me a bitch, you called me a bitch, you called me a bitch,

173

you called me a bitch, you called me a bitch, you called me a bitch, you called me a bitch, you called me a bitch,
