The fact that the report is about McBride and not the things he exposed is a clear sign on where they stand.

As as a journalist I think you are one of the greats, but your conclusions are often missing the mark. I don't think "woke politics" is nearly as important to this case as your leading on to be. Rather I think the Australian government leans very hard into progressive stances to lull its populace into believing that the government actually wants to make those changes. As we know (a lot of it from your videos) the Australian government consistently makes very conservative decisions relating to actual policy while only making very progressive decisions when affecting to its populace directly. It is reminiscent of the moral posturing of the American conservatives but in a different direction.

Exactly, America and its allies, in this case Australia need to justify a massive military build up against their great power rival China. The last thing they want is to undermine their already dwindling recruitment, unit morale and public support for said military expansion with a proper accounting of their crimes in these places, they especially don't want to implicate the commanders and politicians responsible for the war itself. This would present a serious obstacle to their aforementioned geopolitical goals, as would the Assange and Manning Case.

Chelsea Manning was imprisoned and subjected to a pretty brutal regime of psychological torture prior to her trial described as "cruel, inhuman and degrading" by the UN special rapporteur on torture. She served 7 of the 35 years she was sentenced to before Barak Obama commuted the sentence because it was considered disproportionate to the sentences served on other whistleblowers. She was subsequently jailed between feb 2019 and march 2020 for refusing to testify against Assange. Several attempts to end her own life were unsuccessful during that period. The UK district judge refusing the Assange extradition used Manning's experience of incarceration in the US in support of the refusal to extradite stating that the harsh conditions were likely to severely deteriorate Assange's mental condition.

Honestly with the kind of gutter journalism seen in that episode, why would any gay footy player want to come out as 'the first' (I say this because many likely already have to their friends and teammates, and just don't want it in the public domain or to be forced into a position of activism)? They would immediately have any of their footy achievements, their career, made irrelevant and overshadowed. All while the media hounds them and defines them by their sexuality - seeking a Muad'Dib poster boy for their crusade. And you just know it would be latched onto by both sides of politics, being immeshed into the culture wars, etc.

Well, I'm not feeling great about being American right now, but I do want to correct one thing: Chelsea Manning is free because she was tried and convicted and served her sentence. Julian Assange is currently in a British prison pending the results of an extradition deal to the US. He's been in prison for _5 years(!)_ after hiding in the Ecuadorian embassy in London for _9 years(!!)_ and has yet to be tried. Assange has been fighting extradition to avoid what would almost certainly be a political prosecution in the US in which it seems likely that he'd be convicted and sentenced to a long prison term _(the statutes he's accused of violating have some specific rules; a whistleblower or public interest defense is specifically disallowed, for example)._

I don't know if the perfect journalist exists, one not motivated by money or fame, yet consistent with quality work that appeals to a wide audience without being sensational.

Since we can prove people experience the world differently than the binary male/female that was culturally assumed to be correct, we changed our views and adopted new scientific theories on the matter.

You could call intersex a 4th gender since it's biological but nonbinary people don't identify as intersex or some 4th gender. They just don't identify as either gender. That's why they're called nonbinary. People who use trans or nonbinary people as evidence of a 4th gender don't understand the basic concept of what a nonbinary or trans person even is. There's an argument to be made for gender being a spectrum because intersex people exist & people exist who are one gender but have some traits their gender doesn't normally have but someone being a little more male or a little more female doesn't mean they're a 4th gender. If two people are autistic to slightly different degrees or in slightly different ways, they're still both autistic just like if two people of the same race have slightly different skin colors, they're still the same race. Those things are spectrums too but that doesn't mean our words for them are wrong when our words were never so overly specific in the first place. We could start describing gender identity with numbers & letters like we're the society of Ricks & people like you still wouldn't be satisfied because we can never make a sentence long enough to represent every atom of a person. "Neither" isn't a gender just like atheism isn't a religion & Quit isn't a game mode. I respect nonbinary people but you're missing the whole point.

@@D_YellowMadness You're confusing biology with human social behavior friend. If we're talking proper academic language, biological sexual characteristics and phenotypes like what junk you have don't correlate as strongly as you might think with how people like to behave. Gender is the social behaviours you observe in a person, along with some other things like personal and societal aesthetic preferences that come together to form people's senses of identity. So in this sense, a the sense of gender is a continuum/spectrum which shifts over time on a societal level to include or exclude different behaviors and aesthetics from the masculine or feminine areas of said spectrum. Traditionally, the social role a person is **expected** to play and the behaviours and aesthetic they are **expected** to present are correlated with their sexual characteristics. Like for example, if you're born with female phenotypical characteristics in the modern day, you are typically expected to be more sociable and emotional, present aesthetically as what we consider as more feminine, birth and raise children, and generally be subservient and do more housekeeping. But this is hardly a hard rule or requirement especially in the modern day, and a lot of people who are born female don't like that at all. And in fact some dislike it so strongly and desire such a radical overhaul of the aesthetic and social presentation that they're expected to fulfill that they're what we call trans or nonbinary. Nonbinary in this case means a person does not like or identify with the expected roles or aesthetic their culture has for the masculine or feminine and feels a desire to reject both. This doesnt mean they dont display any behaviors that could conceivably fit either category, but an expression that they reject the implicit social pigeonholing. Human personality and social identity is a whole messy interesting subject and has relatively little to do with actual biology

@@D_YellowMadness you could have stopped after the first sentence because that's where you already misunderstand things. Sex is biology, gender is not. They are two different concepts. Tho bringing up intersex people is good. Many of them don't identify as either male female, which makes sense since their bodies aren't strictly male or female either. This is proof that there are at the very least some cases where people don't conform to the typical 2 genders. Thus we unequivocally need at least one more gender. Now consider that intersex people don't all conform to the same third gender, further consider many non-intersex people don't really fit into the male female binary either - and you will quickly learn there are a bunch of genders. The easiest way to describe this fact is with a spectrum.

You're starting to sound like a far right extremist 😱

...Why did you have to blame progressive social causes for the sins of Neoliberalism while running implied defense for Fascist outlets? I hate Rainbow Capitalism, too, but this video's commentary on it places blame that should go to Neoliberal establishment elite with the far left, and ties comparatively powerless minority groups, such as the trans community, with the powerful and corrupt people using us as pawns as though we are the same entity as them. I believe and hope that that wasn't your intention, but I know from the fight against authoritarianism in Canada and the US how our local worst-case scenarios would use your video, and it would be to direct outrage at crimes for which the establishment, the elite, the Conservatives, and the Fascists are responsible at both the young left who wants to break down and change those systems, as well as any within those corrupt systems who oppose them. And I know from bitter personal experience with the uninformed and the indoctrinated that it would work. You call out genuinely despicable atrocity, rightly so, but in elements of your framing you both divide the coalitions you need to win as well as play directly into the hands of the most detestable of the authoritarian elite. I find myself both outraged at new atrocities enabled by the status quo, and also less certain than ever that we can ever overcome them. I now worry even that that which brings awareness of these atrocities could, in its own way, unintentionally undermine wherein I at least find hope. In this moment I see no path to vanquishing the systems responsible, and only increasing weaknesses in what defenses we have against yet more horror. It is endlessly depressing.

It would be one thing in a less dangerous era, but in this moment his recklessness could contribute to making things so, so much worse, even with them as shitty as they are now.

that beaten dead horse of "b-b-b-but if they were non-binary they'd care' was disappointing to see from jordies. it's an obvious cheap shot that you'd expect from your average twitter user, not jordies. it's funny too that the whole gender thing was only one segment- just like how they bypassed pretty quickly america's involvement, but he hammered home on the gender politics as if it took up half of the programme. (edit) also wanted to add that his frequent comparisons between the private school scandal and mcbride felt off. it's like people who say "ah yeah, cry about those six killed at bondi junction while over 30,000 are dead in gaza". they're not the same thing and both deserve to be covered. just because you say "ah well of course private schools are full of pedos" doesn't mean it shouldn't be covered - otherwise, the boston globe's catholic church report was for naught because they were just reaffirming what we already knew, right? there's more i felt a bit iffy about this video but i'll leave it at that, definitely one of his weaker videos.

It’s not exactly fair or accurate to paint Chelsea Manning’s experience as a whistleblower and her current freedom as opposed to Julian Assange’s imprisonment as an indictment to “woke culture”. State sponsored journalism does grandstand with minimum leftist talking points to obscure state sponsored violence, civil rights violations, and a general deterioration of civilians’ control over their own lives, as well as protecting the perpetrators of that violence. But none of what Chelsea Manning experienced was somehow lessened because she’s trans and that’s become part of government grandstanding…barely, might I add. Her experience as a trans woman was used against her amongst the conservative ideologues who actually run the military with the support of entities like Fox News who outright pander to those ideologues and drum up support from their ignorant audience. Military propaganda that recruits women and people of color, as well as “protect commanders who commit war crimes because they’re women”, follows the same pattern of recruitment that the US has always had. They need more cannon fodder and live bodies the endure the utterly insane barracks culture in the Middle East, like burn pits, as well as active gunman to threaten civilians into compliance and subservience, and to finally undermine any government for better or worse so long as it aligns with US interests. The actual military culture in the US _hates_ women, has no issue with protecting sexual abusers, and women still report the same, if not worse, sexism they experienced as civilians. to even mention Fox News as a support for your opinion is really disappointing; your bias is evident. All of these points are very easily available to research thanks to the excellent reporting of institutes like The Intercept and brave people who choose to actually reveal this to the general public. You know, if we’re going to talk about journalistic integrity.

You and the team are smarter than that and it feels petty and like personal disgust rather than anything actually relevant, plus it doesn't embolden any of the points made here either and it's odd to go after Chelsea Manning of all people as if she didn't do something just as admirable as McBride and as if she wasn't tortured in a cement box in Quantico for 7 years and kept in solitary confinement for months while UN experts called her conditions inhumane and as if the Obama administration didn't outright defend her being in said inhumane conditions. Her and Assange have both been treated atrociously and it's really apples and oranges to compare them due to the embassy involvement in Assange's case.

this video is so deeply weird. the information being presented here is fascinating and important- i hadn't heard too much about david mcbride in the media, as jordie's so effectively pointed out, as it seems there's real malicious incompetence at work. i would've loved to hear more about the unobfuscated story from a source invested in his work, along with clear ways we could support this guy for daring to speak out despite the obvious danger, had this video not dedicated basically a third of its runtime to low effort 'le wokeisme' jokes and the baffling implication that coverage of marginalised issues is the reason these important stories are being covered dishonestly and not just like... because pink and rainbow washing are easy positions to take to appear like you're being countercultural while not committing hard enough to either to actually ruffle feathers. if it wasn't stories on nb people's lives, it would be some other drivel about financial advice from a millionaire's son or another investigation into the meat industry as though its many abuses aren't already widely known and denounced. i mean, the many detours into making fun of the dreaded blue hairs is basically the other side of the coin to the abc publishing another article about rates of depression in teenagers instead of actual investigative journalism. its pretty obvious that stories like mcbride dont get told is because they contain inconvenient truths for people in positions of power, and the australian media is controlled by monopolies who have vested interests in not revealing their own hand. if i owned over half of all the newspapers in the country, i sure as fuck wouldn't let my journos release stories on the war crimes my buddies in the adf are doing?? unless fucking rupert murdoch comes out as a trans woman tomorrow, i will remain unconvinced that its the 'woke left' controlling the nation's media output, and instead believe that it's probably due to pressure from the billionaires that pay their bills and the politicians who can weaponise their positions to squash dissent.

It certainly seems like Four Corners is missing the forest for the trees - the focus should be on US interventionism, uneven application of ROEs to determine and prosecute war crimes at the cost of someone's right to live free. But what they are focusing on about the ROEs also...seems important, too. The ROE change was being used as a smokescreen, yes, but US interventionism would have continued to exert pressure with or without them. And the rules that changed in the way they changed weren't the problem, but rather the (deliberate) lack of checks to stop psychopaths like Schultz and co from falsifying records, the (deliberate) lack of interest of within the Australian government to hold their own defense officials accountable. Fixating on the ROE as the root of the problem here is like getting smokescreened by the smokescreen. But a big part of Jordies' video focused on the "wokeification" of Four Corners, with a bizarre and continued usage of queer people (especially nonbinary people) as a comedic prop for hyucks. Like look, I don't want this shit to take the oxygen out of the room from McBride's heinous treatment at all. But this is like four videos in a row of the same skew, using the same groups as props, in the same "one joke" sort of way. It kinda feels like it's being used to either pad run length or give a pat on the back to the Murdoch Press lovers out there, and either way it feels kinda shit. Reminds me of when people were on him for the indigenous jokes, until *someone* got through to him to use more than the one joke about indigenous tribes in Australia. Fuck the ABC for their utter lack of a spine and the deliberate, wanton destruction of a man's life. Genuinely fucking disgraceful sort of behavior that should be sparking riots in the fuckin' streets. Trotting out the "but he might have been misogynist, therefore we believe consent to revoke him of his rights is morally justified" is such fuckin' transparent levels of manufactured consent. I'm glad that the channel continues to shine a light on this. I hope it spurs enough collective action not just within Australia, pressuring their elected officials to fuckin break with the US, but among US citizens. *Their* government is also responsible for causing a lot of this shit around the world, and it'd go a long fucking way if people organized to make them stop. It's probably one underacknowledged good of Jordies' vids getting pushed to Americans more. Look at what the fuck's going on, what's been done and what's being done off the back of American interest. Get involved so this shit doesn't keep happening, and stop thinking it's job done when the votes are cast. But having said that, leave the enbies out of this shit, hey? They don't deserve to be the watermelon to your Gallagher schtick all the fuckin' time. Shit's exhausting.

It's like saying that "not all North Korean propaganda is bad" since some of the party songs have uplifting and cheerful messages tied to them: it's still propaganda, even it's talking about how great this year's potato harvest was.

@@dannyamos313 It's a provably false conspiracy theory. Harold Holt was with multiple people the day he disappeared, almost all of them decided the water was too unsafe to enter that day but Holt and one other man went in anyway. The other man stayed in the shallows after feeling how strong the current was, but Holt did not stay in the shallows. Multiple witnesses saw him swept out to sea by the currents obviously in distress and subsequently saw him disappear beneath the waves never to be seen again. Because of the lack of a body many conspiracy theories have been made up over the years about his disappearance - none of them have any evidence to support them. These include that he was a 'Manchurian candidate' controlled by China and that a Chinese submarine picked him up after he completed his mission, that he faked his death to be with a secret lover, that it was the CIA who assassinated him because he intended to pull Australian troops out of Vietnam as well as the opposite theory that it was the North Vietnamese who assassinated him for NOT pulling Australian troops out of Vietnam, as well as this newer conspiracy theory that this guy is peddling. Like I said before, there is no evidence to support any of these theories and actually there is good evidence to believe they are completely made up and false. The most likely explanation is the obvious one - he went swimming and was swept out to sea and accidentally drowned.
