Struggling with White Savior Complex | Jungletown Episode 3
ADVERTISEMENT
Jimmy is an obvious dummy with no talent, he's not even smart. He has lived of his dad's successes. He has swindled rich kids that are guilty of their privileged lives to pay to change the world, it's a Ponzi scheme.
A bunch of spoiled depressed brats acting like jackasses in the jungle
But what other kind of saviour is there ?
If you have to ask if the choices you make come from a white savior complex, you already know the answer.
Wow a bunch of trust fund kids started a town
they do this in Guatemala
How did the Greeks, Romans and Mesopotamians ever manage to build civilizations without non binary slam poetry nights?
this is probably the lamest way to express anything all i see is rich kid poser asking for brownie points on twatter
The locals already figured it out. They don't need you in their land reinventing something they already figured out.
I read the title and for a moment thought vice had became self-aware
The very fact that this guy was able to get a whole series devoted to publicizing his town shows that his model is working. Incredible that Vice is engaging in this.
total bullshit, nothing they are doing is sustainable. the guy running it is a total con man!!!!!! also noticed he likes flying first class! hmmm
I am appalled they are allowing the dogs on the property to starve. They are skin and bones and some of those puppies clearly have mange and need medical attention. If they are trying to make a better place the way they treat the animals in the area is a huge reflection of that.
Meet Jesus.
Get therapy.
What in the blazes?
16:12 the sociopathic behaviour of a venture capitalist
So much fucking privilege. If you want to live in that place live where the locals are and help them improve their home on their own terms. You wont be here forever. They will. So many of you treating it like a damn vacation. Also dont go and live in a 3rd world country in a jungle if you have such severe food allergies or dietary restrictions. Stay in your comfy 1st world where it can accommodate, boo fricken whoo. You know what happens to people like that out there they adapt or DIE. Eat like the damn locals, most of y'all are damn pathetic.
The animals are starving. ?
The poetry sesh was so laaaaammmmeeee. Really smfh.
Betchu some of these peeps were In CHAZ trying to make it a better place:v:v
What did they even do? It looks like all they did was complain the whole time.
That "Glutten-Free" chick doesn't belong there. Glutten allergy is not a thing, wheat allergy is, but only for people who have celiac disease. The jungle is not for those with picky eaters
If you wanna brag about loosing your privilege for a week, go work on a ranch in your own country. You get dirty, sweaty, and tired with the live stock and land. Same thing they’re doing here.
Is it just white?
this is disgusting
JUNGLETOWN did not age well
How did gluten free people survive in the past? Did they just get sick and die or get on with it
What values? ?
This was hella cringey, rich woke white liberals are the worst.
Did they know they were part of a do co with this title? Lol
This was a really varied episode. You had Jimmy's chaotic business pitching and his "town" vision, Horse Guy having a good time with local workers , Disappointed interns, Esteban stepping up to sell the interns on their idea, a presentation of that Distiller Guy who lives in a hut away from the crowd, Meltdowns and a party
The redhead guy working on the washing machine is a star among the interns. He found a problem and started fixing it. I think that's what the owners expected most of the interns would do
(Kind of naive on their part though. Most of them figured they paid for a summer camp with som education)
Vice are criticised frequently. This however, allows the story to be told without narration.
It would be great to see the you gins reflect in 15 years time on how corny they were.
