I don’t think baby leftist is meant to be an insult. Everyone was once a baby leftist, especially the many of us who started out with the default liberal worldview, slid to social democracy, before finally reading Marx or being radicalized by experience.
Vaushites aren’t baby leftists, they’re still on Tutorial Island confused how to progress into the main game.
Many Vaushites are baby leftists. How many of us worshipped the ground Chomsky walked on? Or even thought Obama was a Social Democrat? Or thought Bernie was an actual Socialist rather than materially compromised to the point of inaction? It takes time and disillusionment, and a lot of Vaushites will fall away as they recognise the contradictions in his arguments. Some back to lib or chud-land, but many into leftism proper.
True, but Obama and Bernie also aren't cringe ass drama streamer pedophiles. I'm kinda sympathetic to people who fall for actually charismatic hucksters. If you fall for a huckster who's as charismatic as your creepy uncle who not invited to thanksgiving anymore... I'm sorry there's like something deeply wrong with you that I don't think is truly changeable and if you realize the error of you ways perhaps your fate shouldn't be redemption but like a cabin in a very isolated place.
Idk, I can imagine that some Vaushites are baby leftists who will eventually grow past Vaush and go further left. I remember when I first got into leftist ideas, I thought Contrapoints was super radical.
Samsies. I voted for Obummer the first time, I used to help with democrat campaigns, I even supported the NATO invasion of Libya until it became clear that the propagand was not what was happening on the ground. It took a lot of getting proverbially punched in the head by the realities of capitalism and the US to finally break me out of it.

Yeah, perhaps "baby leftist" was too kind a term.
Really Vaushites are just straight up Libs, heck even that may be too kind a word.
libs, blindly grasping at radical aesthetic to appropriate
Yeah baby leftist isn't derogatory at all - it's someone who is just starting their good faith leftist learning pathway

I was a lib, too, once. They're not hopeless. Or at least some of them aren't.
There's a difference between a bog standard lib and a diehard vaushite
More like griefers that came back to the start land to camp spawn points for new players.

I started my journey leftward as a vaushite.
