Look ma! I got pinned to the front page! I'm Hexbear famous now!
Just so we're clear, we have not in fact all been informants.
I'd have to get out of this armchair to do that.

I think it's the similar to the psychology of rapists thinking that everybody else rapes.
"Come on, we've all groomed vulnerable children for sex in our mid 20's, who hasn't?"
I learned a little bit too late that when a man says "All men X", they really just meant to say "It's normal for me to X".
Ah, yes, the Jordan Peterson approach
"No, you're taking this out of context, you have to listen to these 23985 hours of lectures before you can have an opinion on anything he says"
Even if it's a poorly-told joke, wow oh wow does it make him look bad :michael-laugh:
For him to be a snitch, he'd have to get out from behind that computer first
yeah i totally buy the guy being a fed, the really unbelievable bit is him actually going outside and "doing antifa work" lol, especially not in any sort of way that would give him any sort of actually useful information to rat to the feds with
I've always assumed that if he was a snitch it was because they had seen what was on his computer.
I'm really confused, is he just doing an ironic "yeah I'm a fed you're all right" bit or is this legit? He'd be in kinda deep shit with the feds if he was really is an ex-mole and just bragging about it online.
Not if he's still on their payroll to do something else. His handlers could be giving him a decent amount of free rein because of how successful he's been as a sheepdog.
If Va*sh was an informant, would his content look any different than it does right now?
It wouldn't, which is why I'm wondering why he'd need to even say this. I know the feds can be brazen at times, but this just seems toddler brained
The feds aren't know for being competent and neither is Va*sh. He loves bragging about himself and could have gotten carried away on stream.
Vaush calls himself anarchist but his actual political position is socdem. A viciously anti-communist socdem. He would have been happy Rosa was killed.
Nah the agitations of the IWW would be too spicy for him and he'd snitch on them
And just like Orwell, in 50 years he'll be quoted nonstop by chuds and all flavors of anti-communists.
Even people with great, theoretically sound content can be informants. Conversely, just because someone's content is trash (Vaush) doesn't mean they are informants.
It would be better, Robert Evans has better content than v*sh consistantly.
I dug up the source of this and there is no joke context, he is admitting to having been a snitch and informant. He frames it around every org being filled with them and that "an org isn't necessarily run by feds just because it has feds in it"(paraphrased), he directly references how the Black Panthers were still a legit org despite also having informants in them that got Fred killed.
He is legitimately admitting to being an informant.
This is the timestamp for when he says it 2:24:04
Broader context of why he says it begins here in my opinion at 2:21:11
I made one of these clip things with this site but who knows whether Hashcut will disappear in future, someone should make a proper clip of this same context-included section. I might but god I have to download a 3 hour video to do it... (edit: Alright I'm doing it just need to render, will take 20 mins or so)
If you continue watching afterwards, it is never addressed further.
It took about 90 minutes but doesn't seem to have been wasted time. It's a damning moment.
I don't see a dry delivered joke at all? But could be because I'm British and we do it as better as it's a national pasttime. He's explaining to his chat that he has done things that are informant stuff. The best I can come up with here is it's intentional planned trolling but it seems like the kind of thing you'd realise beforehand is a bad idea to joke about because nobody jokes about being a fed when they are legitimately under scrutiny for being a possible fed. It just muddies the water and gives people reason to be even more sceptical of you.
Those people have actual self awareness though, Vaush has none. He is a walking blackhole and incapable of reflection.
eh, it still comes off as a joke to me if I am being honest, despite how shitty vaushes comedic timing and such is, idk if it's because I used to watch him 2 year ago and occasionally hate-watch a video now, but when he takes on a certain tone like he does when he says "I am in informant" I can just kind of tell.
esspecially when someone in the chat continues it with "cia caush confirmed" or whatever, it's clearly a community joke because leftists criticize him for being a liberal.edit: tbh there is a decent likelyhood vaush is some kind of fed or sellout of some kind, but I don't think this is him admitting it here.
Feds almost always brag about being feds. We have learned more from their braging tban foia requests honestly. He is so anti tankie he probably sees giving maoists to the fbi as praxis
With him being such a massive paedophile in public, I can only imagine what alphabet agencies could arrest Vaush for.
Nothing, cause he turned into an informant. They are used to controlling pedos. If epstine was still around he'd probably get flown out. They call up their friends at reddit get them to gas up his channel and they have a man all set up
If you have higher ups in Anti-fa, you doing it wrong.
He doesn't even say "ratted out to higher ups". He just says he was an informant xD. So there's no way to misconstrue it as "antifa higher-ups".
Pretty sure he's saying that he was "being an informant" by naming and shaming fascists.
So at best it would be him trying to muddy the water and miseducate people about what the word "informant" means and their purpose.
I think at best it's just vaush being dumb which is really par for the course.
I thought that as well, but the context has him talking about there being informants in orgs like the Black panthers...so...hard to say if he's being a fed or just typically incoherent.
Regardless of if it's true or not, keep in mind that his behavior is cryptofash at best.
