Hear hear 🖖

I not only love an analogy, i love you, and your mind, and your no nonsense "feedback " xx

I'm loving the analogy here

I love that the closed captioning heard you say,"You've been brainwashed by Hamas" and spit it out as "you've been brainwashed by hummus" lol

Definitely going to steal this and repeat it as my own when this comes up with friends. I'm having a really hard time not being furious all the time while living through a second holocaust amidst people who are completely unaware and complicit, even, in their deliberate unawareness, and this cracked me up. The followup you give to the comments is exactly what i'm talking about being angry all the time. I hate how disingenuous it is

I love this. Very sumilar to "Kissing Hank's ass" hits so many points that reveal how insane the analog is.

IGNORance isn't just what you don't know, it's what you WON'T know.

This reminds me, I've always found the phrase "you can't compare apples and oranges" to be really annoying because yes of course you can

If it were a perfect 1 to 1, it would no longer be an analogy... exactly. This type of comment annoys me. It might be insulting to pedants to compare them to people like this. At least pedants genuinely value the meaning of a word. lol

The analogy itself was 🔥, but the Remedial Language Arts lecture made me regret that I have but one like to give. How are you so good at this ugh

Love your videos Austin, keep up the great work! 🍉

That analogy was SO good, it prompted this struggler to PayPal $20 to PCRF. Thank you for helping us feel less crazy♥️

Same here!

What I did to a button under this video was like if in medieval times the king was watching a jousting competition and the knight that he favored won the jousting competition and the king threw his fist up in the air and shouted huzzah.

I feel like I'm going fucking crazy. Thousands of dead children. THOUSANDS! How can anyone with even the smallest sliver of empathy justify that?

I suspect your absolutely correct about people like that just being disingenuous and knowing full well how an analogy works and only trying to be pedantic. Keep it up, don't let them get to you and yes, free "Craig", his family and his wider community before there REALLY ie no turning back whatsoever

Thank you for including links!

Great analogy as always, I always understand you and the points that need to be hit get hit every time. Very clever writing and an awesome delivery to boot. Thank you Austin 💯❤️

Great vid, great analogy, bad faith commenter

I love to leave a comment! Also, great analogy, I immediately got it!

hoh boy. I gotta sit in the comments section for this one.

I believe the word for them is "disingenuous"

Do you like weddings? Have you ever been at a wedding and thought "Boy, this sure could use several grams of hexogen explosives but I don't have a missile guidance system to get them here!" Well look no further, cuz the good folks over at Raytheon have got you covered. Now with a discount for Craig's wedding or a school bus in Yemen.

plot twist; his dad was an IOF soldier.

I dunno chief, doesn't feel like a 1 to 1. For instance, you didn't even mention how blue shirt also claimed that after Craig punched his dad Craig went on to behead a bunch of his sister's Barbies even though blue shirt doesn't have a sister nor could it even be verified that there were ever any Barbies in his house.

Solid.

"I know what the comments are going to be." One time I almost got frostbite outside of a rave. I was in a parked car, on drugs, and covering myself in crappy 90s vehicle carpets. I didn't die, but I had a dream that a glacier ate me. I woke up when a random stranger sleeping in the front seat turned the heater on. Predict that dude lmao

Don't break. I need you,

6:28 for the apple analogy the response I get is that’s not an apple that’s a Macintosh 😂

This is about something more than a series of neighbor crimes

I am seriously disappointed with your choice of vacuum cleaner. Yeah that one. The one behind you. You should apologize... ... I bet you didnt see that coming.

You are Craig now for that 🤣🤣🤣. Yes!

This feels like how the guy in blue represents drake stans

only someone brainwashed by *_Hummus_* would say "This apple is an apple."

Idk it looked pretty 1 to 1 to me.

It's like apples and oranges Jk. Great video

Austin out here comparing apples and oranges. I always thought that was a stupid saying haha

Cinnamaroll

Don't forget how you're apparently discriminating against this guy's entire religion and culture because you're saying Craig has a right to exist and shouldn't get anhilated. Your culture isn't "destroying Craig" my guy, that's just your personal hobby.

Well now you're just comparing apples to oranges /s for those who didnt watch the whole thing

Do you know how to tell the difference between a terrorist organization and a professional army? A professional army wears uniforms that are designed to blend in with their natural surroundings, like the earth, rocks, plants, trees, etc. A terrorist, on the other hand, wears clothing designed to blend in with the local population. Do you ever hear stories about Ukrainian soldiers accidentally killing innocent people because they can't tell the difference between Russian soldiers and Ukrainian civilians? No. No, you don't. Why? Because, say what you will about Russian soldiers, at least they're not trying to blend in with the local population. For their part, Ukrainian soldiers have gone to GREAT lengths to try to NOT appear as civilians, because the LAST thing they want to do is put civilians in harm's way. Hamas, on the other hand, doesn't give a shit about Palestinian civilians. They dress like them and hide among them because they WANT Israeli solders to kill them, because it creates international sympathy for their cause, and puts pressure on the Israeli government to back off. It's their only chance of winning this war. And judging by ignorant videos like this, their plan is working beautifully! It's also worth mentioning that ahead of every major military operation in this war, the Israeli army has ordered civilian evacuations of the area. They don't leave because Hamas won't let them. Proof of that is in the fact that, despite the prior warning and evacuation orders, the civilian death toll remains disturbingly high.

@caffetiel All too well. I was in the Marine Corps in Afghanistan. I've seen it up close. What's your point? If your point is to somehow excuse Hamas's lack of effort towards distinguishing themselves from the civilians they hide amongst, that's fine, I guess. Just understand that that's literally a war crime, and by excusing that, you're acknowledging that the blood of Palestinian civilians is on the hands of Hamas, not Israel. In that case, I'd applaud the fact that you're at least honest with yourself and others about who is truly to blame here.

@@ShihTzuPosting So what you're saying is Hamas punched your dad, so that you personally dropping a nuke on Palestine is not only justified, but all the collateral damage deaths of innocent civilians would be Hamas' fault and not yours, the person who was the one who literally would be dropping the nuke on millions of innocent people?

if people are complaining often about the poor analogies you're making enough for it to even become a trend, chances are its not because your average viewer is stupid, but you're consistently having bad takes. only common denominator in this situation seems to be you. just saying. yes, it is in fact within the realm of possibility that you can make a bad comparison. the adult thing to do is apologize & improve instead of accusing your viewers of being stupid.

This is so funny, because it’s the literal opposite. The vast majority of people who watch my analogies have no problem understanding them. It’s always only a small handful of people in the comments who struggle. But the overwhelming majority totally get it. So if your logic is that I must be making bad analogies if so many people are having a hard time understanding them, then by your own logic my analogies are actually great because most people have absolutely no problem understanding. The only common denominator in the situation is that some people are just really dense.

@milapartment what percentage of people would have to disagree with your comment for you to see this as a trend and apologize?

This is a pretty terrible analogy. You just oversimplified it into a way that supports how you feel about the conflict. Here, I'll fix it for you, Hey, remember when I moved in 80 years ago and Craig tried to murder my family? Luckily, we were able to defend ourselves. Then remember how Craig spent all of his time living next to me telling me and my family how his whole reason for living is to kill us. Fun, right? (I didn't think so either). Thankfully, my family has a powerful friend that lives a couple streets down, that said he will help defend us. If it weren't for that powerful friend, our family would probably be long dead because all of our closest neighbors are like Craig. Hey, remember how the WHOLE neighborhood felt bad for Craig, because Craig's children were suffering, and gave Craig billions of dollars in aid and assistance to fix problems and end the suffering? Remember how Craig instead of using that money to make home improvements and improve his children's quality of life, Craig used the money and assistance for more weapons to continue trying to kill my family? Remember, also how after DECADES of living next to Craig, a person that consistently told the neighborhood his family wants nothing more to kill my family, Craig recently broke into my house and killed my sister and kidnapped my grandmother? The whole situation sucks! Hamas started a war. War is horrible. People die and suffer, that's why war sucks. While I do not support the killing of innocent people, I understand Israel. Imagine there was a Native American reservation that lived in the next county. Imagine they were hostile to you, and all their propaganda was about killing you. Imagine they taught their children you were evil. Imagine they went so far as to teach their literal young children the best ways to kill you. Then every few decades that reservation attacked your town and killed your friends and loved ones.

@@mahrimen I encourage you to actually put effort into looking this up for youself using sources other than the Israeli state government. Things like the Balfour document, and why they call it the nakba in the first place. Imagine you're ordered to move out of your home by exhausted soldiers, ready to be done with a world war. you can comply or be shot, and then they spit on you and call you second class citizens. Entire families, murdered. It was a mass displacement of one minority group in favor of another and it was violent as hell. it wasnt moving day with your buds and a pizza with a 6 pack. They were forcibly displaced through no fault of their own. Its violent settler colonialism, plain and simple. The 75 years of violent occupation and second class citizenship in what is commonly acknowledged as the worlds largest open air prison have been a brutality and created predictable sentiments among other groups in the region. I cant even begin to properly sum this up in a youtube reply, you should really spend time in good faith looking into this.

@@SurrealEdifice Thats truly terrible. From what I understand there was violence from both sides, but as usual it was a bloody start to a new nation. The Palestinians do not wish to peacefully coexist, they never have. There will never be peace as long as Palestinians hate jews more than they love their children. Israel on the other hand have over 2 million Palestian citizens living with them. Israel will also allow in gay Palastinians that seek sanctuary because in Palestine they are thrown off of roofs for being gay (queers for Palestine is like chickens for KFC). What a beautiful culture, right? I assume you condemn what Hamas did last October. It also seems like you are saying you understand why they did it, when you mention the history of the conflict with Israel. Well, I understand Israels reaction, Im not saying its right, but I understand. (I watched uncut video from the Oct attack right after it happened, it was sickening. Some images that will stick with me and made me very angry) But whats the answer here? All the Jews just leave? Go where? There used to be Jews in other middle eastern countries but not really anymore. Talk about ethnic cleansing. We dont care about those Jews though. But really the Palestinian leadership doesnt want the conflict to end, they get way too much international money. Its just unfortunate that the innocent people of Palestine have to pay the price. Honestly this issue is very complicated for me because I am a progressive but I dont agree with a lot of the progressive takes on this. I understand the desire not to kill innocent Palestinians (of course) and I understand Israel's anger and frustration. Half the time I think I must be wrong and maybe I am and I dont usually talk about it but this video was too stupid. I wont respond anymore but I will read your reply if you have one and consider what you have to say. Hopefully you give some thought to what I have said but if not I still wanted to reply. Also, I can understand being driven from your home violently myself being Native American. If you know anything about American tribal history, and I assume you know something of it, then you know it wasnt moving day with your buds either. Talk about second class citizens.
