More:

"The cultural shift toward enfranchisement stopped half-way; A generation (that was in agreement with the prior paradigm) did not relinquish social control completely (to the new one which is in agreement with the new one), and then remained in power (gerontocracy).  They established lipservice levels of change, without actually moving forward. The new generation saw all the signs they expected to see, but none of the actual change happened. Black people naturally upset."


Still mass agreement.   The people with political power to effect the change thought it was already enacted and were in agreement it was so. (for the most part.)  The people with real political power conspired to prevent real change happening, and were in agreement to sustain that.


All civilization stems from this kind of interplay.  (which is why the notion of a virtuous society is laughable.)


Hilariously, the near complete breakdown of any kind of agreement in recent times in US society between the hyper polarized left and right, is seen by many as the opening act to a civil confrontation of colossal magnitude.

A people with a strong feeling of belonging together and of having responsibility and duty to your fellow man, like in the Scandinavian countries, creates a less corrupt and more selfleas society.

A society where everyone hates everyone else and doublehates everyone who isn't 100% like them in every way, like the USA, creates a more corrupt and more selfish society.

Twitter is banning BitChute links now. Us plebs can't be allowed a YouTube alternative, apparently.

I fucking hate this war.

why would a battery need floss? Can you explain the definition of floss used here?

I think he means the dance.

Your first question still stands though. Why is a battery dancing, and why that specific dance? :o

Batteries don’t have arms, they are cylinders or rectangular prisms

My first thought was an anthropomorphic battery for advertising.

I think Yoink is deliberately keeping us in suspense.

One of the best video hosts if you don't want to deal with ContentID bullshit. I've watched plenty of reaction videos there. The other alternative is PeerTube.

The woke crusade is killing the Internet. Hell, a fandom I'm in has been in a month's long civil war caused by it.

I like how one of the first results when I tried to search for it is aptly titled "cursed ad".   
Apparently there were more characters involved, but I was barely paying attention before I realised the level of sheer depravity taking place before my very eyes. Alas, I'm afraid I can't help you with the "why" part.

That reminds me of the harlem shake dance 'craze' that went 'viral'.

This a fascinating read for the detailed timeline of when a thing got made, and how soon it got monetized by clickbait farms, and how quickly it died after that. You can't even trust the memes these days.

Of course, Corporate McCorporateFace turns out to be terrible at creating memes, so there's that.

I remember the Harlem Shake, the music’s playing in my head now when you mentioned it.

I just got flossed at by a sentient battery.   
Please explain how An electricity storage unit gained sentience and what you mean by it flossing at you, was it throwing silkworm silk at you? How did it accomplish this? Did you use it to clean your teeth? If so, how did you avoid getting shocked?

Presumably Yoink saw an animated video in which an anthropomorphic battery, which had arms and legs because it was fictional, was doing a dance known as "flossing".

Wait, was NG being sarcastic?
