      Edit: come on, your statement in isolation from this minute meaningless drama is unironically the most fed shit I’ve seen on this site.

          Hasan is fucking cringe but that doesn’t mean you should be fucking sabotaging your fucking ideological pipeline! :matt-jokerfied: We’re so fucking useless tactically, holy shit! Do you ever wonder why the right doesn’t spend this much energy calling Ben Shapiro and Dave Rubin slurs even though they express characteristics and sometimes views that are not in line with their own ideology? Do you ever wonder why the right is so fucking popular in America? The algorithm can only carry so much weight! YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PIPELINE!

          I’m so tired. We’re never going to build socialism if we keep purity testing every single fucking person who claims to be a leftist. We’re either being COINTELPROd or we’re literally COINTELPROing ourselves. I can’t tell any more. Clique behavior. I’m going to bed, I cannot get into this shit anymore, this is too much effort to spend on something so minute as streamer drama, but god fucking damn.

            There's been some genuine :cia: activities within left circles. Couldn't tell you the extent of it because it's impossible to know for sure, but there have been enough instances of prominent 'left' figures working for the state that I feel comfortable in saying they're at least in the periphery.

                you didn't even look into it. this is from years ago when he was broke like all of us. it's controversy bait first of all. and then secondly, I literally do not give a singular ounce of a shit what people do with their money, the issue with capitalism is not doing dumb stuff is bad but that a class system of owners and workers is unequal and mathematically built to implode cyclically. idc if it's a bad look or w/e, leftists will never get a good look even if we act like monks, so fuck it who cares

                Western brain in full force lol.

                I've never even been on an airplane lol. Then we have people here acting like flying on private jets is normal.

                De-growth is really going to fuck these peoples conceptions of "normal" up.

            Twitch streamers aren't a pipeline log off and actually talk to people come on.

            Online doesn't really matter. The right is popular online in America because they're the cultural default and popular everywhere.

              This is the exact same shit as saying Ben Shapiro isn’t a pipeline. We live in a digital world and we need digital infrastructure. Not everything is solved by a nebulous “touching grass”.

              I feel like people say this to just excuse the fact that we’ve allowed the alt-right to use the internet to a major radicalization advantage. Almost every modern Nazi got there through 4chan. Online matters less but online still matters.
