Thoughts on Gifted Hater?

[LebowskisRug]

Noting that Pizza, Skate Mental, 3Block, and RipNDip use a wood shop is only going to make their argument that it's sub-par even stronger.

Also Ben keeps dropping passive aggressive comments about his politics lately. Is he fairly far right or far left? Hard to tell, seems the latter given his stance on protectionist arguments.

[Idk]

The guy has never heard of Evisen. Straight in the kook bin. Am I not American enough to enjoy this person? Feels like a kids show.

I'd guess right(emphasis on guess). I feel like within skating people keep their conservative views a bit more quiet.
I'm always going back and forth with my opinion of gifted hater never fully negative just ok this guy's a dork that doesn't really know that much (latest example not knowing evisen) but he had some comment about Sam Hyde and now my YouTube's fully infected with Sam Hyde bullshit so minus one point to gh

Yeah my skin crawls when he brings up politics as he dances on the edge of ‘can’t say anything these days’ kinda bullshit

[schralp pal]

That new skatepark review may be my favorite skate vlog ever. Candy and redbull fueled insanity.

His sarcastic apologies for saying slightly harsh things in past videos makes me think he's in the camp of people are too sensitive these days and can't take whatever I want to say. I mean he does work in construction...funny thing is, I don't see anyone else bringing up politics except for him.

I just hope he stays focused on talking skating. Ill die a little the day he feels the need to chime in on a taylor silverman situation.

Yeah and his cohorts are always amusing too

[HiResDes]

so they pretty much diluted years of pals contributions to the woodshop threads into an hour long youtube video


THEY OWE

Distilled would be a better term

His friends can all pull off midriff shirts which I'm jealous of. Too old and fat to try that shit.

His mate just ragdolling his bails was something else.

I want Ben "can't say anything these days" Degros to drop the filter and speak his mind. I have a feeling it will would be relatively tame though.

I want to let sleeping dogs lie, but since he keeps bringing it up and everyone keeps asking...

I feel bad for folks who are so lost these days. But man... come on...

This is what happens when Capitalism is collapsing before your eyes, but you're willing to believe literally anything besides "hey maybe Capitalism is the issue" due to how that's been hammered into our heads as beyond the pale.

You see there are major major issues, but aren't given the tools or information to analyze what is happening. It makes people very understandably vulnerable to distrusting and scapegoating rather than viewing these issues through a lens of class consciousness.

I'm sure we all know people who have been lost to some level of conspiracy theories and it's very upsetting.

[Uncle Flea]

I’m over it.

I’ve taken in a bunch of GH and I feel like he don’t like me.

In reality no one likes me but you pals and my nieces and nephews.

Time will solve that. I’m going to die alone with my board and my guitfiddle. Watch me now

If it makes you feel better, a lot of his hot takes are tongue in cheek and/or are focused on people who post their stuff on Instagram/YouTube for clout rather than Joe Schmo skaters just trying to enjoy themselves.

Try not to take it personally, but if it's making you bummed on yourself definitely don't watch. Hope you're doing well overall. PM me if you need to talk.

His willingness to unironically rock red dragon gear makes all the sense now...

[MysticalTypeExperience]

Loved the woodshop video with Ben.. my only gripe is they didnt mention how each shop measures their boards. There is a clear difference between a lot of boards and I thought they'd acknowledge that and make sense of it all

Some shops measures flat across the boards length and some shops measures through the concave

They also didn't cover the only reason a lot of people would ever consider Powell: Flight decks

That building took 20 years to build and cost 13 million ($308,066,967.21 today, mostly through graft and corruption that ultimately ended the corrupt career of Boss Tweed). Pls be careful


I went on to read about this Boss Tweed character on wikipedia after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_M._Tweed

the amount of racketeering and bullshit these guys pulled is insane... but then i think about nowadays how they have us by the balls for simple shit like data / internet / telecom. it costs them fucking pennies for the amount of service i actually use per month. it is insane the amonut of greed / corruption that is still present today. back then they just kept people at bay by not educating them so they cant read. so nowadays they cut you off at the internet - you cant read if you dont have access the material. shit hasnt changed 1 bit the more and more i read about this. reminds me of eppstein going to jail. he had enough power to be OUT of jail most of the time, and then finally when he knew the jig was up, he had enough power to suicide or whatever. i think its only gotten worse in todays world and the rest of the world paying a price for these peoples greed.

I'm not "bringing up old stuff" to be negative. I'm pointing people towards what is being danced around since everyone in this thread keeps asking and speculating.

Nice Mike Watt profile pic btw... One of the best socialist punk bands of all time, the Minutemen.

Also I forgot about Huell Howser until I saw your name. RIP.

hey thank ya!

wild, that is a bold hat

[Skatebeard]

GH found the hat online during a stream, he customised it with Unity skateboards on the back/side whatever and bought it for the lolz.

Deffo done for the jokes/irony factor.

Nah cancel Gifted Hater, he's clearly a Trump supporting bigot.

"It's effecting the way that I am presented on youtube"

Dude is soft and apparently he's never seen video days either which is laughable and gives his opinions zero credibility.

[Yonnycage]

Guy is fucking hilarious imo and I find myself cracking up at the same ridiculous, silly shit at the same time as he does in his videos. Him ragging on Andrew Cannon in that Street League Stupid video is gold.

[Sagat]

the amount of slap posters with trump derangement syndrome is hilarious
