Video Retrospectives 3 - Cultural Marxism : A Measured Response
Added 2022-08-06 21:40:10 +0000 UTCHowdy gang! I can't stop saying howdy and I don't know why
Here's the third video retrospective, on the Cultural Marxism video, my life around the time I made it, and what happened to the players involved - Rocking MR. E, The Golden One, Davis Aurini, and the BNP Youth spokesperson (my god, that one's a doozy).
Thanks to the $10 backers who voted on this! The next $10 backer-poll will be up in about a week and a half while I focus on the GBNews video.
Here's the original video in case you need a quick link!
As always, thank you for the kindness and support. It just paid to fix the holes in my kitchen ceiling.
- Harry

This was absolutely brilliant. I loved the section talking about the cat you bonded with (and totally should have stolen), and I've thoroughly enjoyed everything you've created since making this video. I'm excitedly awaiting your upcoming Adobe video (and a potential following video about open source?). As an open source developer and daily driver, I'd be honored if you'd consider interviewing myself and/or any other prominent developers in this space.

2025-06-16 18:16:11 +0000 UTCAww, poor Cody :( I agree with the commenters saying you should perhaps get a cat! Or two cats... I've heard two is easier than one because they'll keep each other busy and then won't need as much attention or break as much stuff.

2024-12-31 15:51:29 +0000 UTCI watched this video while about 80% paying attention and doing the mandatory yearly compliance trainings for work, and had to pay juuust enough attention at a very specific part of the video; leading to me mishearing the discussion of SOMEONE ELSE'S DIVORCE as HBOMB GOT DIVORCED. I was extremely confused for approximately 30 seconds.

2024-10-18 14:51:18 +0000 UTCTo this day I still don't understand what anyone means, or even thinks they mean by cultural Marxist. I feel like I joined a conversation halfway through and everyone is speaking obliquely about a topic without directly mentioning anything about it because they assume everyone else is in on it. Even Hbomb's videos have never clarified this for me. I don't have a clue what anyone is talking about and I'm starting to think most of them don't either and it's just an absolutely depthless dog whistle that just means "the undesirables". I'd love to at least hear some sophistry, some *attempt* at defining it.

2024-09-17 10:23:50 +0000 UTCNot sure if you read these Patron Video comments, when I was young and immature, and thought 'your gay' was the height of comedy, i used to work with a guy (Daniel Bogunovic) who was my boss, and we both lacked friends and he seemed alright, minus a few jew jokes. Anyway, he got arrested as the HEAD of National Action. Whoch shocked me as at times he seemed remorseful to be the way his parents raised him and then got Worse. In fact, in that screen shot im fairly certain he is the guy on the far left. Anyway, however much i hope he finds the truth i have two kids now, so he can stay far away from me.

2024-05-13 21:28:28 +0000 UTCMaybe not ~every~ problem. But truth be told, a large number of fights I’ve had with partners were about or linked to the capitalist mode of production.

2024-05-01 09:03:54 +0000 UTCi know this isn't the point of the video but the segment at the start where you talked about the cat you lived with and how much you liked and cared about him just made me really happy/emotional out of the blue. i lost my cat a few months ago and i just really miss all those little things cats do and it was really nice to be reminded of them :') I'm glad he was doing better by the time you left and that you cared for him so much as to consider kidnapping him lol. (anyway - great video - I'll shut up and watch the rest of it now)

2024-02-06 02:08:34 +0000 UTCi'm so excited to watch all these hbomb videos! your work is some of my go-to comfort (i'll watch your stuff during a panic attack or listen during a migraine). i remember when the algo was first recommending your stuff to me, i wasn't sure if you were right wing at first, especially since i was familiar with nazis but not their youtube videos. the trigger warning intro helped a lot
priya
2024-02-04 22:14:52 +0000 UTCI know i'm late to this, but I have to comment. As soon as you got to the part about the machette that nazi bought, I knew in my heart it was a Cold Steel product. the fasc *love* Cold Steel products. That guy who tried to do a mass shooting at a federal courthouse in texas and got killed had the same thing. It wasn't just a machette, it was a gladius machette, cause if there's one thing nazis love more than white people it's roman shit. Edit: lol I should have kept watching.

2023-04-30 05:02:34 +0000 UTCEither can do it. Just stay safe, exposure to mold or dust can make you more vulnerable to the same symptoms later on. P.S Thanks for existing, your videos have made a genuinely better human being and I would not be in a stable and loving relationship right now if I hadn't encountered your videos back when I was an "anti-feminist"
sohovapottu
2023-04-06 15:09:02 +0000 UTCIt was either mold or just a lot of dust, I'm not really sure what it was if I'm being honest but I especially remember how dusty the closets with the ancient computer systems were. I'm so glad it went away soon after I quit.
Hbomb
2023-04-04 13:20:12 +0000 UTCDid you come into contact with mold on the job? Since what you describe in the coughing fits is very similar to what I, and a friend of mine had for a year or two. At the time we went to a school with a major mold problem, which we have pinned as the reason for our symptoms. No kidding some teachers started to think, that we were just heavy smokers and confronted us several times about it. I've never touched a cigarette in my life.

2022-12-19 00:34:28 +0000 UTCA few years ago, you made videos dunking on some dickheads talking to their cameras in 480p with a plastic skull in the background. Now their ideas are the mainline ethos of the US' republican party.

2022-11-08 13:43:07 +0000 UTCDo we get updates about progress towards videos anywhere? I feel like I should have some idea if something is coming out in the future but I can't find anything. It's been a minute.
kaemon bonet
2022-11-06 00:58:55 +0000 UTCIt's so nice to get these retrospectives. Gives context to bits I never got, and reminds me of one of the things I used to like back when I was a Channel Awesome fan (we were all young once, lol). Namely, when folks would do commentary uploads of videos and shoot the shit about what they thought worked or didn't about an older video. I dunno, I guess I just enjoy reflection from creators I enjoy.

KevlarNinja
2022-11-04 21:44:10 +0000 UTCAny chance we'll get a video from you covering friendlyjordies? You appeared in one of his videos calling Clive Palmer a "fatty mcfuckhead", which I was surprised to see considering most of what Jordan Shanks has to say is completely full of shit. Just got into an argument with him about his love for Jordan Peterson and his unhealthy devotion to the cult of "self-help" bullshit.

Jeffrey Theobald
2022-10-10 10:49:55 +0000 UTCHi, I just started watching this (late, I know..) and I got really interested in the part about Herbert Marcuse, specifically the critique of marxism with the middle-class argument. Any chance you remember which of his book is about that?
Gene

2022-08-14 16:31:38 +0000 UTCI remember when HBomb learned about that Renshaw guy. Someone casually mentioned his arrest in a comment on the HBomb fanpage on Facebook (before it got nuked) and it was one of the very few times HBomb actually replied and effectively said "what the fuck?!"

2022-08-12 14:52:47 +0000 UTCKeep up the good work!

2022-08-08 03:59:43 +0000 UTCI watched the original video first and thought, “wait, he has a cat?” and now I am sad Cody is no longer with you (but happy he got the proper medicine). I enjoyed this update quite a bit, thank you! Your shirt really resonated while you reviewed a video that is still very much (unfortunately) relevant today. But always fun to get those “where are they now” type updates, most of which was to be expected but that last one…that was something to behold. Wow.

2022-08-08 01:17:30 +0000 UTCThat was really fun, I enjoyed this really casual look back at the context of something that was both the first *I'd* ever heard of the term 'cultural marxist', and something which I've watched for laughs a not insignificant amount. It's really comfy to sit here while the world burns, and reflect on how much has changed while a lot hasn't, and also learn about a very good cat.

2022-08-07 12:03:48 +0000 UTCAll I can say about Renshaw is just... wow. WOW. That is such a heady mix of terrifying and utterly pathetic. Also would recommend getting a cat, they are lovely creatures :3
Penny Gotch
2022-08-07 09:11:33 +0000 UTClol. No one in the UK has air conditioning. It used to be a cold country, so our houses are designed to be warm. Now it's warming up, we're all toasting like good little buns inside our little oven houses.

Kate
2022-08-07 02:36:56 +0000 UTCI like these retrospectives. The 'where are they now?' information is super interesting. I do have to say though, no air conditioning in a place that's getting over 40°C and electrical issues through the whole place?! You gotta vet where you live better, I'd like to hear an update that uncomfortable living situations are a thing of the past for you.
