Do you know whether Yilmaz is aware of the videos about him? Have you heard through the grapevine? In some of your videos you paint yourself as being relatively disengaged as a teenager. Is that the case? What was it that got you passionate about politics and current affairs?

2018-05-31 21:49:07 +0000 UTCI'm interested in some words on your creative process. Whatever you feel called to share. I really can't express enough how much I'm inspired by your videos, and motivated to finally start creating videos like I've wanted to for years. The combination of social commentary and humor is brilliant, and I seriously cannot get enough. End dick sucking, but really. Anything on how you create the mix of commentary and humor, or just how you relate to that format.

2018-05-19 05:51:23 +0000 UTCThanks Mate. Just bought the book because of your post. And hats off to the authors for attempting this work of relatable insight in the corruption of economic and political process. People, we really have to fight capitalism. There are better alternative systems. Not just socialism and communism as we have traditionally known them, but alternatives like The Zeitgeist Movement (See here: <a href="https://www.thezeitgeistmovement.com/about/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.thezeitgeistmovement.com/about/</a> ) and Intentional Local Communities etc. We can all (everyone in the world) have an awesome quality of life right now. No poverty, no starvation, very few working hours, a focus on play and education and science. The principal of economic scarcity is both a myth and a destructive cycle.

2018-05-18 03:26:53 +0000 UTCI don't believe real progressive change can happen while monied interests influence our electoral process. As a result, I strongly support 100% publicly funded elections (i.e. no "donations" whatsoever, even from unions or people) while also imposing pecuniary sanctions on commercial press for misleading/misrepresenting information/issues and for placing political ads - the latter press sanctions because the 'editorial' content of MSM favours the corporatists who are their advertisers (clients) and to stop monied/industry groups paying for proxy campaigns. Do you support publicly funded elections and commercial press reform? Is this too idealistic? If you agree, how can we spread the word effectively?
Timothy Bradley
2018-05-18 03:09:04 +0000 UTCWhat can we do as a community more than patreon/shows/merch/sharing your vids? I think I speak for many when I say I genuinely want to do as much as possible to get you to grow and put out more contnet

2018-05-17 04:54:16 +0000 UTCHey man, thanks for the recommendation, I will be reading this as soon as I can get a paper copy. I am currently reading Silencing Dissent about the governments controlling of public opinion and the sad state of debate, under Howard and continuing. So think Bolt and Jones attack dogs, AFP raids on journalists, attaching industry use to scientific research and the public harassment of political opponents in the media. To increase awareness for these issues amongst ignorant class mates, I have started giving away my books to encourage them. I am yet to get feedback but I am hopeful.

2018-05-16 13:28:08 +0000 UTCalso, I'd love to see a video on the wonderful rort made by the liberals of jobcare providers - a way to divert funds meant for the most disadvantaged desperately needing help to get back on their feet to private tenders stuffed with the liberal's mates
Evan Beasley
2018-05-16 02:44:01 +0000 UTCWhat can we do that would be most effective in helping the environment / saving the great barrier reef / all that? It seems like anything we can control - minimising plastic bag use, use less fuel etc. is almost meaningless in comparison to having hectares of bushland ripped up, or coastline dredged. What's the most effective way for us to do our bit?

2018-05-16 00:50:13 +0000 UTCI think it would be really important to explain how political favours create bubbled industries which leach off the government. I read this fantastic book which covered many examples in Australia across a variety of industries, as well as the tactics and psychology behind it. It looks at the stratergies liekly to be used in the future, like those currently deployed in nations like China where political corruption is rife. And also outlines how the only effective way of mitigating it's impact upon society is by ensuring it is part of the public consiousness. This was the case of the housing market when Canberra was created, so key legislation was included into the re-zoning of properties to reduce private industries ability to leech. This is one of the reasons ACT housing has remained affordable today. The book is Game of Mates (<a href="https://gameofmates.com/)." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://gameofmates.com/).</a> It is one of the most rage inducing books I have ever read. But extremely valuable. I'd love to see more conversation brought up around the insights it has to offer. I think it's so important that I'll bump up my pledge to $20 a month if you cover it. (That should cover the cost of getting the book)

2018-05-15 13:37:55 +0000 UTCYour self-help vids have really helped me out brother. Reforging my life is a slow process but I feel it working. My question is, how can I share this self-help with others? My girlfriend could really, really use it, but she always ignores her problems and tells herself and me that she doesn't need any help from anyone. She'll try changing and working on herself, but then after not long at all, go back. I know she won't watch your vids and will almost always disregard help that I, or anyone, tries to give her. How can I share this experience I have been having with her, in a way she will be able to take on board? Thanks for doing this and reading my dumb question.

2018-05-15 13:31:51 +0000 UTCNot really a question about future content, but would you ever consider coming up to Cairns and doing a show?
Trent Marino
2018-05-15 13:10:21 +0000 UTCI'm really into the self help videos, but I feel they're kind of wasted on me because I don't really know what to with my life. Overly dramatic, but whatever maaan. Anyway, any advice on trying to figure what I want to do?

2018-05-15 09:26:04 +0000 UTCEven though we have a Westminster system, it feels like Aussie politics lacks many charismatic and inspirational leaders (like Keating was). Do you think there are any such figure in Federal parliament. Who do you reckon should lead the Labor party after Shorten?
Jeevs Cas
2018-05-15 08:41:34 +0000 UTCI used to be pretty on top of Aussie politics but I've been swept up in Trumpmania (because it's so hard to look away from that car crash) that MSM is obsessed with and I feel like some things over here are slipping under the radar. I have a bit of a generic question but it is sincere; Is there anything that you think isn't getting enough attention at home and on a global scale. Do you think this phenomenon is causing a societal hypnosis?
Jeevs Cas
2018-05-15 08:37:53 +0000 UTCHow are you so cool?

2018-05-15 08:29:48 +0000 UTCVery broad question but what’s the best way you think to tackle these political problems you highlight in your videos as an individual?
Hamish Shorrocks
2018-05-15 08:04:10 +0000 UTCWhat are the main sources that you use when researching for your videos? Where do you get most of the information that you discuss?
Sam Harrington
2018-05-15 08:00:10 +0000 UTCAs a PhD student I'd be happy with a roast. "PhD Students in STEM vs Arts" or something . It's shit all 'round anyway. Also the woeful handing of roads and transport funding in cities like Melbourne: Citylink costs a fortune to travel on but congestion is the same. The proposed train to Tullamarine airport or SYD-MEL train..mystery. Public transport in general.

2018-05-15 07:02:15 +0000 UTCYou are probably keeping these topics until the election is called so you have some ammo, but here are some ideas I had: Banking RC and the LNPs refusal to do it, as well as them wanting to give a massive tax cut to them. The failure of the government to reduce emissions and meet Paris targets, with every independent source verifying that we are not on course. Budget 2018, and how shit it is. Also, what are your + Ali's favourite political podcasts to keep up with world events, as well Australia specific podcasts. Also, need more Mislav and Ali on the videos as characters. Love your stuff, thanks for the meetup and EPIC Pakistani food.

2018-05-15 06:38:40 +0000 UTCif you've got the time, I'd love to see a postmortem of the WA liberal govt. They fuckin' wrecked the state economy during a boom and labour's cleaning up the mess now and getting eviscerated by the MSM.
Evan Beasley
2018-05-15 06:16:29 +0000 UTCI'd like to know if it would be possible for you to make a video about Canadian politics or something about Quebec. Not phrased as a question. It would be greatly appreciated if you were to be as brutal and funny as possible. This place is a circus. If that's not what you're looking for though, how about more Chronicles of Yilmaz? And I don't mean slapping him into a video as a character to prove your point, we need those raw uncut Yilmaz hours, or whatever the kids say these days.

2018-05-15 05:54:46 +0000 UTCI love all of your videos on serious topics and would love to read more about the issues that you talk about. For some of them I have been able to find places to read about them, but I was wondering (as terminology on websites can sometimes be different) if it would be possible in the description of the video or somewhere if you could put a link to all or some of your sources specifically used in the video? Not all of your previous ones of course, just new ones that come our are being researched. Would love to read and find out more sometimes finding sources is far too time consuming!

2018-05-15 05:07:34 +0000 UTCI have to say that firstly, as an American, its nice to see that shit is just as fucked down with our Aussie mates as it is back home. Although we have the walkin' Pink Floyd Anus Judge as a president and you have what amounts to be your standard old person in Florida. My question is kind of related, with the current political bickering at the grander stage of this entire fucked globe, what's your opinion about the quasi small debate we had in the US about how close the US and Australia are? I know that both nations historically have been fairly, if not very, close but with the recent policies favoring China in regards to trade and now the Liberals trying to pull back(from my understanding), how do you see the bickering?

2018-05-15 04:16:20 +0000 UTCOn one of your videos or podcasts you talk about your diet of eating only nuts or something. Don't you find that incredibly expensive? If I'm wrong and you don't just eat "deez nuts", what is exactly your diet?
