What an embarrassing coward. Bet he gets his bitch ass destroyed by anyone remotely competent he ever trains/rolls with, such weak loser energy on display here.
[Edit: he's panicking and going hard (way too hard) cuz he loses all the time - for his brain it's "hell yeah, finally sinking this choke I've been working on!, damn felt easy this time!" Utterly shameful. Kill this man, he is far, far worse than useless. Give this dude an honorary Uvalde Award, if nothing else.]
One of the best (also most intimidating) teachers I ever had would do this when students asked questions - asked questions in response, gradually leading the student to discover, by publicly stating, what they understood and what they did not.
Everyone misunderstood him (Turkish guy teaching EMF in the US) and thought he was just trying to embarrass and shame them. Though to be fair, I DO think he had some serious resentment toward the sense of entitlement many students approach their education with, and I share it.
His attitude left a bit to be desired, but if you were willing to humble yourself and truly engage with him when you asked a question (AKA not just retreat when he starts probing) - he just had this magical ability to ask questions until you revealed (seemingly to yourself) precisely what you had missed. Never really seen anything quite like it, he was distinct. And he respected and became warm with the students who would humble themselves and publicly try, too, which came as a shock given his permanently grumpy, disappointed demeanor. Plus he went some years where no students achieved that breakthrough, so his reputation never included notes about such.
(Uhh, my bad, just went down memory lane and only some of that has to do with what you said lmao)
I see it this way too now. "What does this culture do with this situation?" - and all jokes aside, pretty good chance some of the answers to that snuck in subliminally, that influences how I parent. Haven't watched too much in 20+ years, but it's there.
But yeah nonetheless, I do understand the annoyance folks have with the lad.
Sternly: "ya did great son and everyone loves you. Ya punched a budding Nazi and made it both entertaining and endearing, there's no PR firm on earth who can ever stir even a shadow of what you did".
I can't get enough of that either and while all the great memes do the lad justice, I can't help but feel we're all robbed by the way they don't capture the eager, self-satisfied "I can't wait to deliver this L", delicious, audible little clap 😭
This is a super accurate general breakdown, maybe the clearest I've seen honestly. Completely matches what I've witnessed through life (with all the acknowledgements that it doesn't portray everyone's experience of course, and lots of the rest of my words here suffer from the same).
What I'm realizing more and more, and want to expand on your points with - is how badly we all misunderstand the "family money" thing. I was slow to grasp it, because when/where/how I grew up, that sounded like opulence.
These days it's table stakes. A lot of us have it, built-in, a lot of us don't. I never had that help, scraped and scrapped to take my family to stability. Now that I'm here, I can see - no one here is like me. Roughly everyone I meet, in the world I fought to enter, is somewhat at ease. They don't have especially high income jobs. They didn't fight and struggle and strategize to own a home here. They typically can't even be convinced it's not roughly this easy for most. And they didn't inherit huge wealth, either - they have no idea they're "special".
The degree to which one's parents had stability themselves is becoming a stark dividing line in the US. I expect that line grows sharper and wider in the near term.
Edit - the troubling thing I'm trying to point out, is the vast communities of families all across the US who had just enough of a boost to make their lives feel, in every (shallow) way, like the stable affluent days of decades prior - the thoroughly taught "American Dream". The people with money to spend live in a cloistered fiction, accidentally (from their perspective), and this seems super bad news for the current state of affairs.
Just to elaborate for the folks I've run into who doubt and downplay the worst of it - even if you remove the more lurid reports, the simple fact of "recruitment" for such a hideous enterprise, what accomplishing that requires - that is hunting humans for sport.
Extending globally to identify and traffick vulnerable young people, targets meeting the right criteria to make it all "work".
No metaphors are needed, nor any reliance on anything remotely controversial in the files. Hunting humans for sport is exactly, dead on correct.
I was very willing to interpret this story as just an overeager adventurer who got themselves in trouble and found out the hardest way that strong decision-making in those scenarios is very difficult. Wasn't prepared, didn't realize, did his best, bad calls caused tragedy. Tale as old as time.
But yeah after hearing there's a whole history of this kinda shit, he's either malicious or just the worst most insufferable overconfident prick ever. Really despise this kind of outdoor enjoyer. The "not learning from mistakes" is key, bet ya nailed it.
Plus, knowing what I know about being on the edge and desperately wanting to make the goal - bet he made those women feel like total shit, too, beginning roughly the very moment they began to seriously flag.
Dude sounds to be about 78+% pure anus (choose the bear, clearly).
What an embarrassing coward. Bet he gets his bitch ass destroyed by anyone remotely competent he ever trains/rolls with, such weak loser energy on display here.
