For the people deliberately misunderstanding this:
Saying “bombing civilians is bad” doesn’t mean “terrorism is good”.
In fact, two things can be bad. At the same time! Amazing! 😒

@datarama I agree, but don’t want to muddle what I’m saying

@TechTangents They’ll be nasty to you anyway because they’re assholes, they don’t need a reason. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@thomasfuchs This kind of misunderstanding is why non-political youtubers don't like to mention things like this in videos. You can't put enough nuance and context for something like this into a video about old computers. It's just going to make people mad no matter what you say. People CRAVE a reason to ostracize youtubers and will misconstrue things like this for drama.
@TechTangents Anyway, even old computers do not exist outside of society and thus politics.
The very reason computers exist in the first place was for military applications. I think a lot of these old computers deserve some historical context and, yes, opinions.
Also, your viewers are from all over the place and with all sorts of backgrounds.
I respect and understand if you or other YouTubers don’t want to get into this—but on the other hand you could actually make a difference.
@ZiggyTheHamster @TechTangents the trolling CRD does is delightful
@TechTangents @thomasfuchs and even if you do, some people are still going to be mad about it. In this situation, particularly those who equate criticism of a certain government with religious bigotry (and I’ll admit as an atheist I do not understand why this can possibly occur; maybe it’s like how the emperor of Japan was also the highest ranking religious entity?).
Cathode Ray Dude just trolls people with his set, and that seems to not be as bad to deal with.
