If you want to know if someone is a friend or an enemy, ask them what their victory condition is. At what point do they feel confident that there’s no longer any need for fighting and activism and that they can go home and live a quiet life? Their vision of victory will tell you if you’re talking to a friend or an enemy.
An enemy posing as a friend will also try to obscure his vision of victory and misdirect in order to stop himself from being outed. He hopes that in the absence of a stated victory condition, your imagination will fill in the gap with your own vision of victory. That way, he can instrumentalize you and use your efforts for his own nefarious needs.

I want to thank everyone who has helped me make Decameron Film Festival 2022 happen: my friend Alex who made all the thumbnails, my friend Johan who did the video, Reed Johnson and the other moderators who kept the chat going, everyone who got the Festival Pass, everyone who sent superchats and donated in other ways, everyone who has been watching, and a special thanks to all the guests who have been generous with their time and helped me promote the event.

If you missed any of the livestreams, you can still watch the replays if you get the Festival Pass.

If you've enjoyed the festival, you can go to the Donate page to support the work that I'm doing and help me keep the channel going — and make it more likely that I'm able to do this again in the future.

Several viewers have told me that this has been the best Decameron Film Festival to date — and I have sincerely enjoyed every single conversation. All of the guests brought a lot to the table.

Again, thank you all for watching and helping me make it happen.

Translation = Spencer is tired of being mocked and upstaged by online anons. So he parrots Leftist arguments to destroy online dissent, which would almost certainly doom the white race to slavery and extinction. I don't know what is more obscene: the world-destroying evil he advocates or the petty egomania that motivates him.
