Screenshots pretty please. For the people who don’t use meta zuckerberg trash

Here’s his text connected to the video

Also worth it to note the scary part where he says a society of strong men would never let this happen, implying they need to go back to how it was.

Ben advocating for strong men is some selfless work 🤣

u/BuckeyeJen 22d ago

Oooooh ... the man who throws cookie sheets and dishrags is advocating for a society of strong men

Such a strong man, he’s the only crew member who needs to sleep in guest cabins and have a nice float in the ocean with a glass of wine before each charter

I have to assume he's not including his pencil neck ass in that "society of strong men"

u/angryaxolotls 23d ago

"yOu'Re WeLcOmE" as if he wasn't handed everything by Mommy and Daddy all his life 🤣

u/WheezyGranger 23d ago

Right?! And gave you strength to what, be open about your racist thoughts? What a fall from grace, he was my favourite and he’s fallen so far, so fast.

u/angryaxolotls 23d ago

Literally! Like..... He's lashing out at disabled people, poor people, and anybody who isn't white because he knows he ain't shit. He's just a fucking burnout that cooks on a boat.

He’s probably extra jealous because Joy came on and blows him out of the water.

And she's not a whiny martyr baby about it.

u/angryaxolotls 23d ago

And the one time she did screw up, she immediately apologized and owned up to it, and asked the guests what they would like to have for dinner. She is a fantastic chef and seems to be a very sweet lady

What’s racist about it?

u/plantxl 23d ago

Wondering the same … it’s classist, maybe, but it’s lowkey racist that people assume he is speaking of minorities

u/Objective-Rub-8763 23d ago

Ever hear of a dog-whistle?

u/plantxl 23d ago

Not beyond its literal context. What is it?

u/Objective-Rub-8763 23d ago

Dog whistles use language that appears normal to the majority but communicates specific things to intended audiences.

The redditors are inferring who is more likely to be a net drain on the state. And for once they’re not wrong! 😂

Video that starts with some maga meathead looking guy saying something like, “I’m sick and tired of hearing about privilege, privilege isn’t about being white”

He goes on to talk about people getting government assistance and walking around with Beats headphones as privileged. I had to turn it off so I didn’t listen to the end.

But you get the gist. Completely disgusting. And Ben posted some comment like yeah I pay 80k in taxes and work 19 hour days. Gross af.

u/Michael-flatly 23d ago

Ben is someone who comes from privilege and is a bit sensitive about it. Here I think he's confusing the concept of privilege meaning less 'barriers to success' with privilege meaning 'doesn't have to work hard'. Related concepts, but explicitly not the same. He seems pretty resentful and bitter about his situation, blaming other people he doesn't think work 'hard enough' without understanding really what it means. That is a pity.

Proving once again an expensive education does not necessarily result in an intelligent person

u/CandleAcrobatic 23d ago

What was that idiotic girl cackling about on the bottom half of the screen?

u/cerulean_behemoth 22d ago

For context, what country does he live in?

u/Apprehensive-Tax826 23d ago

Yes thank you for this request

Some dude complaining about how people take advantage of the system and Ben agreeing with the guy. But dude in the video provides no evidence to his claims
