Found in the Deprogram sub’s discussion ofnit which is quite good. Radio War Nerd also does this beating around the bush with Zenz’s beliefs. To say nothing of Deprogram & RWN Russia takes,

I literally never even heard of this guy before that “what’s your take on this guy” thread a day or two ago and now here we are

I was trying to reply to that thread and I hit the char limit. Yeah that’s the strategy start drama and use that to water down and extend your video output.

Radio War Nerd turned out to be really wussy-ish when it comes to upsetting liberal orthodoxy on Ukraine and other US geopolitical hot-topics.

Some stuff on Xinjiang and China’s treatment of Uyghurs, and also an unrelated link debunking Social credit score stuff which I’m leaving in my copy-paste because why not:

World Bank report on Xinjiang from 2019: https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/statement/2019/11/11/world-bank-statement-on-review-of-project-in-xinjiang-china

UN report on Xinjiang from the end of 2022: https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/countries/2022-08-31/22-08-31-final-assesment.pdf

What is it with new accounts and posting about BadEmpanada? This is like the third BE post from a new account I’ve seen since the update. I don’t give a fuck about ‘defending streamerman’ or streamer drama, but it’s always the new accounts bringing up BE and he was rarely posted to this site beforehand

Oh also I replied to the other thread and it was too late for anyone to see it 🐱

Nobody covered this kind of stuff that’s why I posted.

Oh there’s a guy in the chapo discord vc who loves him so I replied to BE about this and he was annoying to me, I’m doing reply guy shit. Maybe don’t spread disinformation? It’s annoying the few mildly palatable youtubers still suck and are intractable and vague and annoying.

They seem like they know which side their bread is buttered on.

What makes you think this kind of parasocial observation is valuable or interesting anyways? “Oh didn’t you notice other people posted about it recently?” Uh no apart from again the other thread I posted the best response so far to? Because you’re parasocial for the posts not me. You are the owned lib.

You post for likes. I post what the fuck I LIKE.

You clearly do get it. After all you’re being a hall monitor scolding me for posting about something you allegedly don’t care about. Buzz off, nosy little They.

Parasocial? I am speaking directly to badempanada and this guy. I am engaging with posts that were made online in public as an announcement and finding criticism of them and replying to threads here with other people. I am not monitoring other people’s conversations and relationships.

I’m sure Empanada would like me to watch his videos about his parasocial feuds, rather than post a good takedown of him repurposing State Dept talking points about China to make Youtube videos for “leftists”.

It’s probably just people from /r/thedeprogram creating accounts here. Reddit is tanking and people there would understandably create accounts here. And in my experience, people there like BadEmpanada a lot more than people here.

It seems like after he got his twitter account back a month or two ago his shit stirring made him popular with the genzedong crowd so there’s been a lot of posts here and on r/thedeprogram related to his antics because of user overlap
