Home Team? Or Visitors? Who Do YOU Root FOR?

...I Root for the Advertisers!  Viewers are Just Manipulable Mugs.

from Google AI:
According to a story often told to illustrate the views of Socrates or Pythagoras, there are three main types of people at the Olympic Games (or life in general), categorized by their motivations: those who compete for fame, those who trade for profit, and the philosophers who come to observe and understand the truth. [1, 2] 
  • Lovers of Gain/  Trade (The Merchants): Those who come to the fair for commerce, profit, and to buy and sell.
  • Lovers of Honor (The Athletes): Those who compete in the games to win fame, glory, and accolades. 
  • Lovers of Wisdom (The Spectators/ Philosophers): The highest group, who do not seek profit or applause, but attend solely to observe the spectacle and seek knowledge and truth, which corresponds to the philosophical life. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
This analogy distinguishes between a vulgar life focused on gain or fame and the intellectual life focused on contemplation and wisdom.

I know... How Vulgar!

Where is the video where Sears apologizes for supporting Donald trump? Tucker said he is still a White Supremacist who strongly supports Putin, but no longer donald trump. But only because of the war on Iran. Every other crappy and fascist thing trump does he still supports, I assume.

Did JP offer an "apology"? Perhaps, "I'm still the incredibly transphobic a-hole you love, I just don't like this war on Iran"???

JP is also on a "hero's journey"?

How much BiOptimizers product did you order?

I root for them, I didn't say that I supported them. I hope JP sold a LOT of BiOptimizers...

He already did, didn't he?

Not in the video you linked to. He doesn't say, "I was wrong to have supported donald trump and no longer do".

He also didn't say, "I was right to have supported donald trump and still do, now more than ever". Given that the entire video was intended sarcasticly, this would have been a way he could have expressed his regret at having been wrong in supporting donald trump.

But he doesn't mention donald trump at all. He just talks about "the government". Does JP even know that the bombing of Iran was ordered by donald trump? Maybe he thinks Joe Biden's autopen ordered the attack? He does confess to being a retard.

Though said sarcasticly. So he really meant, "I'm so smart I see truths other people are unable to see". Yet, while he was able to correctly identify Netanyahu as one of the two people primarily responsible, he was completely unable to identify donald trump as the other one.

btw, how much Black Forest Coca Powder did you order? JP is very vocal about his hate for trans and gay people, so I'd think you would place a huge order to show your support for JP's hate.

btw2, according to Rattrapper aka Mystere both you and JP are antisemites. But he is far too gutless to ever say so.

By the new legal definitions that the Israel lobby is pushing (any opposition to the Israeli STATE is anti-semitism), I AM an anti-semite.

The musta learned something in the battle to re-define marriage, huh?

🤖Via Copilot.

🧩JP Sears’ involvement is not neutral.

JP Sears built his early brand on goofy wellness satire, but in the last several years he’s pivoted into:

Anti‑trans rhetoric.

Anti‑LGBTQ+ messaging.

Conspiratorial political content.

Anti‑vaccine and anti‑public‑health narratives.

That’s not me giving an opinion — that’s a factual description of the themes in his videos.

So when a company partners with him, they’re making a deliberate marketing choice. They’re signaling...

"We want the anti‑establishment, anti‑‘woke’, alternative‑health audience".

"We’re comfortable associating with someone who produces bigoted content".🛑

I hope BiOptimizers goes out of business. They suck.

I guess you don't realize that Netanyahu represents the far right in Israeli politics. Similar to how donald trump represents the far right in American politics. That you thought donald trump wasn't always open to attacking Iran truly baffles the mind.

It seems you thought that, given that donald trump hates the same people you hate, he must agree with everything else you believe? And it also seems you very stupidly believed he lies about many things (but that is good and makes him "the prince"), but he was completely telling the truth about not starting foreign wars like gwb in Afghanistan and Iraq? 😆🙄
