Lord forgive me but I'm back to the old me (posting drama about contrapoints)
Grimes is an inherently funny figure, the contradictions between her shallow leftism and her association with the richest man alive is a recipe for brainworms
(If this was posted before I'll delete, I don't subscribe to the dunk tank but when I see slop I know I have to post it)
Grimes is the daughter of a canadian prosecutor and a banker. I don't know if she grew up rich but she was at least upper class.
Left twitter hates thing capitalism loves. The thing capitalism loves thrives under capitalism. Wow who could have predicted that. How fucking novel.
Hey if it's this or a two hour over produced video essay, I'll take the tweet.
Man, remember when people fought to get her on Chapo and were psyched when she finally was?
How times change...
Also the hype for Chapo has just waned, aside from assorted mini controversies that dont really matter that much but sap energy from people, it just doesnt feel that fresh and cool anymore, they've become pretty normal as far as the left goes.
Also didn't the chapo hosts look down on the sub?
Fuck any artist who takes a tone of superiority towards their fans, as far as I'm concerned.
They constantly made jokes about it but two of them were lurkers. I think Will genuinely didn't like it though, because tbh we did be postin a lot of cringe, and a lot of the users weren't fans.
I always got the vibe that it was semi joking, I doubt any of them would give up energy to be mad at a subreddit
ContraPoints told the left to vote for Biden and attacked those who didn't want to by mocking the revolution. She does not understand that not voting for an absolute ghoul like Biden is completely understandable.
That's why I have no hope for the US left, they can't even get over the concept of abstaining
Yeah I hate crypto because I don't think it'll be be "successful." Contrapoints know that I'm so fucking stupid, just a drooling moron.
she's not saying that lol. the left never wins so Crypto will thrive is the joke.
Oh she's defending jk rowling now? Contrarianism is a disease, defending a billionare transphobe over civility bullshit is lame as hell
She wrote one tweet about Dont doxx in general then a bunch about Rowling being a shithead.
The problem with this tweet is that her humor doesn’t go well when just read you need the tone.
yeah sure contrapoints is defending JK Rowling lets go with that lets just believe whatever the fuck we want who cares
Lol sorry contrapoints baits me so hard I will never find the context
Got a link to those tweets? I'm in a foul mood and want to give myself psychic damage.
Top one says tweet not found, but thanks. This whole thing sounds silly.
didn't expect to see Chelsea Manning in there agreeing with Natalie about how the left shouldn't doxx / harass / engage in politics more substantive than liking a Contrapoints video.
There is no fucking way Natalie is defending one of the public figures most against her rights as a human being. Please tell me this is a dark bit.
Some activists posed in front of her castle with pro trans signs and she bought rowlings bad faith interpretation that they are "doxxing her"
rowlings address if public knowledge and it's a literal castle with 24 hour security, harry potter fans pose in front of it all the time.
My read was that left twitter would fail to stop it or slow it down in any meaningful way. Which is right and all, but dont just out and say it
I think it's as simple as the left justifiably gives her shit for her shitty positions, and she takes it personally so tries to talk smack on the left.
I think her point is that the left being united against something will not harm it
Grimes is going to storm the capital in Meta and say she participated in the revolution.
The entire concept of the blockchain is asking "how do I sell stuff to someone that I have zero trust in?" That's inherently limiting and there's nothing inherently valuable about being able to do that. Scarcity is a bug, not a feature. Delimiting human access to resources via access to currency or credit is monstrously alienating, to the point that it arguably kick-started philosophy and the world agricultural religions. All of the value here is just an ideological bubble. This isn't that which is solid melting to vapor. This is tech illiterate people throwing their money at a pyramid in the hopes that they cash out at a good time. It's gambling. Welcome to the future, it's even worse now.
This has been the most difficult thing explaining to people how crypto provides absolutely nothing. Imagine it's money but it's less secure and there are no authorized institutions to issue lines of credit. Also it isn't accepted as currency everywhere. Also unlike normal currency which is presumably backed up by various financial and state institutions to protect its value, crypto is backed up by a public ledger of every transaction ever made which requires increasingly higher amounts of computing power to maintain.
It's like money but worse in every single way other than perhaps a quick way to scam a bunch of people.
"What if _________, but worse in every way?" seems to be the thrust of every tech bro pitch for the last couple decades. Friendship, but worse? Welcome to Facebook. A blender, but worse? Hello, Juicero. Transportation, but worse? Nice to meet you Uber, Lyft, and Tesla!
left twitter is united against it so I assume it will be successful
:yea:
Natalie finally OD'd on the blackpill?
Oh well.
Kill your heros, kids. They'll only get old and disappoint you, otherwise.
Im not on twitter but things I hate tend to end up being successful so I think she might have a point
Everytime contra posts now it feels like its just there to stir up a bunch of shit lol, I think I saw her post some shit about how you dont have to care about what anyone says on twitter but she also did like a 2 hour video about getting cancelled on twitter and how awful it was.
Remember when she said voting for Biden also means holding him “accountable”
Imao that was a lie
