        True, but based on his streams, his view is changing on that front. He’s definitely open to changing his opinion on that front - unlike most “but china bad!!!!11!!111” people.

      If we define breadtube loosely enough that Thought Slime is part of it, i'd rather include Shaun, Curio, PhilosophyTube and NonCompete (and ofc openly ML youtubers like Hakim, Luna Oi or Yugopnik).

      I don't use the label like that, though i'm going with "you're a breadtube if you're one of the youtubers from the social circle around ContraPoints and Lindsey Ellis", which officially makes PhilosophyTube the only breadtuber with good politics ever.

      I mean, we shouldn't get our politics from youtube to begin with, we should spend less time on youtube and if we do spend time on youtube, we should use it exclusively to learn how to make better techno, but we all know how realistic that resolution is atm.

      Definitely. He can be kinda cringe sometimes but at least he’s not way up his own ass.

      Tho I do like eric Sophia from curio as well

        I don’t know them. I shall look them up.

        The fact thoughtslime had a go at contra over her “opioid addiction” which turned out to be TWO WEEKS on fucking Percocet that she was prescribed for a legitimate reason by a doctor gives me life. Even if he was forced to delete it by twitter idiots.

          They’re pretty good, it’s a lot of media critiquing with a leftist lens, typical breadtube stuff but they’re pretty fun and insightful, good to have on while doing stuff.

          Lmao I missed that drama somehow, I stay off Twitter as much as possible for the sake of my sanity lol

            she made a super dramatic instagram post about how she hadn’t made a video because of personal issues and “yeah, a fucking opioid addiction” which she eventually elaborated was two weeks on percs for a legitimate injury and a week long taper her doctor did just to be cautious.

            ThoughtSlime was incredibly unimpressed with this definition of “opioid addiction” and made a series of tweets about how it wasn’t even close to any plausible definition of addiction or habit. He eventually deleted them because a bunch of fucking DSA teenagers were constantly tweeting “you don’t know what she went through in those weeks!!!!” and sending him other nonsense and I guess he couldn’t be bothered with it. As someone on day 51 of kicking a ten year habit, his response was actually fucking perfect and 100% accurate.

              Damn, I get the sense that thought slime has probably been around addiction, I know he has pretty mature attitudes on drugs in general.

              My partner is an addict and it controlled her every day for a decade. I definitely feel like you can tell who has had it in their lives and who has t by the way they talk about it

              Also congrats on getting clean comrade!
