I’m kinda wondering what the breadtube version of stolen valor should be called. Like it’s kinda crazy to say this when she did not actually attempt the surface level reforms. She didn’t help with either of the Bernie campaigns, she was never an organizer, an activist or anything like that. She went straight from being an edgy poster to a youtuber.

Unironically, the most insane out there “tankie” twitter people actually did more to try and make social democracy happen since a lot of them are former bernie bros.

Contrapoints is literally just Kyrsten Sinema with a Youtube channel at this point.

“Breadtuber”. Their entire shtick is stealing valor from the socialist movement.

That botany youtuber who illegally plants trees in his free time has done more praxis than all breadtubers combined.

It’s almost like you have to actively decide to become the good kind of class traitor if your material conditions improve.

IIRC she was already decidedly well off, but now makes 600-800k from patreon a year

She honestly seems increasingly out of it. I legit enjoyed some of her earlier work, everything recent is just some incoherent ramble that seems like her complaining about an argument she got into with a 14 year old on Twitter.

Is she seriously attempting to make an utilitarian argument against revolution using something as abstract as ‘envy’ as a proxy?

What in the actual fuck. And what the fuck is revolutionary violence in the face of the tolls that capital exacts on a yearly basis? This is such a fucking privileged and ensconced take.

Edit: I’m just getting more and more fucking pissed thinking about this and it’s fucking ruined my entire fucking mood. I’m on break right now and I’m looking forward to going back to work. Like what the fuck man. I’m always skeptical of all these YouTubers and I can’t help but feel that CP’s increase in popularity and the money that comes along with it is having an effect. Or maybe she was like this all along. I don’t know that much about her. But honestly it’s such a fucking bummer that this shit is being amplified to people who probably think she can do no wrong

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.
