    Post title: "Is the Gourmand a bad person?"

    Tweets in picture: "This exquisite flock of roast pheasant are about to slide down my gullet. What a splendid day indeed"

    Brace is quite literally one of the most bizarre/interesting human beings alive

    like he's on the same level as that Afghani Jew

      Imagine this kid in high school telling you he's going off to fight ISIS for the YPG. You laugh in his face, and rightly so - this four-eyes isn't going to Syria to take up arms. Years later, you log on to this Twitter thing everyone is talking about and some guy named PissPigGrandad is all over your feed... and it's the weird kid from AP history who wouldn't stop showing off his keffiyah and correcting everyone who called it a scarf.

    All those posts are good posts. If he's bad it's not because of any of these tweets.

    (Forcing myself to take a stand, I think he's the least bad person out of all the famous leftists in the US. He volunteered to go fight ISIS in defence of AE"S", he helped unionize a major beer manufacturer, he now spends his time actively trying to radicalize as many people as he can by A) encouraging people to take a focused gaze toward the 0.0001% and pay close attention to what they do and B) offer counter-propaganda to the mythology of the west)

      Someone on GenZedong or r/TrueAnon said that he's super influential in the DSA as well, and extremely obnoxious to boot!

        Obnoxious and effective, which is funny as hell. Also someone said here that he's not doing a character and its just how he is.

    Didn't even include "I think I did a warcrime because I had to piss and there was nothing but dead bodies everywhere".

    Step it up.

    Brace is uh... very weird. He does run the only anti-pedophile podcast with Liz and Yung Chomsky though. It's pretty based. And very weird.

    I just want Brace to become leader of the DSA. I get these Maria Svart letters infrequently that are the most boring thing a socialist has ever written. If it was instead Brace giving the "We're in fuckin' 1320 motherfucker" monologue, things would start happening overnight. I don't even know what kind of things but they'd happen.

    on the one hand: extremely fucking weird (complimentary)

    on the other: podcaster (derogatory)
