    Destiny is a right-winger. The man sided with Kyle Rittenhouse.

    The rioting needs to fucking stop. If that means white redneck militia dudes mowing down dipshit protesters that think they can torch buildings at 10 PM, at this point they have my fucking blessing. Holy shit, this shit needs to stop. It needed to stop a long time ago.

    Vaush and keffals are at least left-of-center. Destiny is probably closest to Joe Manchin or whatever in terms of politics.

            I'm not sure what this is in response to

            I'm not saying "Vaush is good", he's an awful person for a variety of reasons, but he's definitely a left-winger. His political opinions are more left than probably 90% of the US population. Being a left-winger and being a dogshit human being are not mutually exclusive. I don't know why hexbears feel so personally offended when you say "Vaush is on the left". Being on the same end of the political spectrum doesn't mean you have to be buddies.

              Do you think soc dems are "on the left" too? I fail to see what your accomplishing by having such a broad definition of "leftist" other then showcasing the uselessness of that word.

              Pretty sure there's leaked emails of him being sex pesty with some underaged people and the same goes for him taking a "libertarian" stance on age of consent laws.

              Except for the awful person part this is just wrong though. The fact that he claims to be a socialist doesn't negate the fact that he is functionally indistinguishable from a mainstream democrat when you actually look at his political opinions.

                Yeah I don't get the whole "he's left by US standards" arguments. It's well known that Americans are politically illiterate but that doesn't make Vaush a leftist in any sense. The left might not be what it was in the 1920's but it still exists and the people involved are actual leftists while Vaush is just a Democratic stooge. His social views can sometimes be to the left of most Americans, until you hear his racial takes and it's to the right of many Americans.

                He's a conservative man with a few social justice opinions that could be considered "left."

              Vaush can be "very liberal" but he cannot be "on the left". Don't cede any ground there

      They support NATO and American hegemony, they are not left of center. They want the current system but with more safety nets. Unless you mean left of center in America specifically
