Gunning for the title of most obnoxious online left-wing figure
90% of her twitter is complaining about tankies and the uyghurs and the authoritarianism
someone in the comments says "im cuban and castro was not a real communist"
retweeted something about how can china eradicate poverty when people in hong kong live in tiny homes
I dunno, if the person with the most similar political development on Youtube was freaking Shoe0nhead, that would probably make me want to rethink my beliefs.
Like, there's non-tankie leftists online like hbomb, philosophytube, big joel, the chapos, contrapoints, hasanabi, but they talk about actual fucking left-wing ideals, the injustices in the present day and what could be done to fix them. They don't turn their entire online presence into "im one of the good lefties, not like these evil tankies, im one of the good and reasonable ones"
I. Communism is already acknowledged by all European powers to be itself a power.
II. It is high time that Communists should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Communism with a manifesto of the party itself.
I remember watching a snippet of her one stream and she had on a "Please Be Patient With Me I Have Autism" hat on, way to mock autistic people you ass.
At worst that's just straight bigotry, at best (if she's autistic herself) it's yet another instance of her trying to be "one of the good ones".
That's why I compare her to shoe0nhead. "Pick-me" leftists. Defining their political ideology by who is nicest to them on twitter. How long until she does a stream with Destiny where they congratulate each other on their reasonable, well-mannered discussion despite their "differing opinions?"
Is shoe even remotely left? I remember like...over a decade ago I think...watching a video of hers where her essay was on why feminism is bad for women actually and how feminism is making her life worse. I figured she was a permanent write off at that point. It sounds like she's still obnoxious but that's still quite the distance to travel if anyone is considering her left at all.
She was getting flak for her use of the R-slur and then suddenly she announces that she's autistic so she can pretend to have an R-word pass.
My questions to her are as follows:
If you don't have an intellectual disability, by what right do you claim your use of the R-word is legitimate?
If you are implying that you're reclaiming the R-slur then how are you using it in reverse discourse rather than perpetuating its use as a slur?
If you feel you have a right to use this word because it's been used against you then would you agree that, as a white person who has occasionally had the N-slur used against me, I also have a right to use the N-slur to denigrate others in the same way that you use the R-slur?
I'm not questioning your self-diagnosis but if you, as a public figure, are openly announcing that you are autistic and positioning your use of slurs as activism, what other autistic activism have you engaged in and which of the prominent leaders in the autistic activism space do you defer to and take up the charge from as a newly-minted autistic activist yourself?
If your shtick is punching left I'm sorry but I am putting you in the same column as all the fascists punching left in terms of the outcome that your actions have.
retweeted something about how can china eradicate poverty when people in hong kong live in tiny homes
westerners both want china to solve poverty in hong kong and fix all the problems there but also leave hong kong alone and end their "tyranny" or whatever. classic liberal double-standard.
Hong Kong recently sought to restrict golf courses and eliminate pod homes and replace them with normal apartments. I’m sure anti-communist leftists will be happy about this
I first heard of keffals from her being harassed by kiwifarms Nazis and obviously she doesn't deserve that, but everything I've seen from her since is not good.
Seems like she cashed out with the huge wave of (deserved) sympathy she earned during that whole mess and decided to start going for the breadtube audience.
She was in some communist organization that said in Cuba, no one is allowed to smoke or that no one chooses to smoke - which is already an absurd claim considering it’s reputation with cigars and Castro and Che’s image - and one day when she was in a Cuban hospital (after she and some friends got piss drunk), she saw a nurse smoking on her break, and that broke her fragile brain.
If you’re not able to see the absurdity here, imagine this scenario: you’re a Chinese communist. You hear from everyone about how every American is fat. One day you travel to America and the first thing you see is some fit guy jogging down the street. You declare an eternal war against communism and China afterwards
she saw a nurse smoking on her break, and that broke her fragile brain.
Westerns Liberals believe whatever shit their media tells them. Then when they visit the Global South they are surprised that people live a normal life and do normal things.
That was my experience when I went to Chile. The only times I still wish I smoked is when I remember how it was an instant icebreaker and convo starter even with my broken ass Spanish. The lesson I learned is that people just wanna chill.
I don’t remember if it was her or someone else, but someone engaged in weird fetishes in a public discord channel and berated a supposedly Jewish fan. All I know is that it was an e-celeb, which continues to prove that all e-celebs must be sent to a farm to become a normal person
I remember getting into an argument with some people on here over here a year ago when she started her anti-tankie bullshit. Got told that I was doing purity testing but these types always expose themselves over time. Any goodwill she had from covering trans issues in the past is overrun with this and rubbing shoulders with people who barely tolerate her existence.
Anti-Tankie stuff is only trendy to a segment of the internet population that lives their life on it and consumes enough political content to give a shit. Her views barely break into the 100k range if she's lucky. Imagine failing at being an edge lord online.
They do this because it is a very lucrative grift. Right wingers love being told they are great and will throw huge amounts of money to anyone who coddles them. The "I used to be a leftist but the left wing was too crazy" grift is a popular one.
I used to be part of this cult called Hexbear. They bullied me for my Western chauvinistic beliefs, and kept sending me pig testicles with poop on it. Now I realise that unchecked Western military aggression is the correct way.
It's a bummer how someone can go from tanking KiwiFarms to shit like this. I'm mostly in this for retaliation against them for wasting my time and the right eroding my sense of self in high school ten years ago (also killing Near)
