The whole phenomenon of Internet dipshits rubbernecking at Chris-Chan's life is one of the most depressing things in the history of online culture. There are probably kids into this pointless spectacle today who were born after the "saga" (fuck off) started.
I am very blessed to have no idea what this means, and I thought I was terminally online.
please god, never look into this and pretend u never saw this post
K. Can do! :blob-no-thoughts:
Bored teenagers discover weird person with autism who posts cringe things online. Said teenagers quickly notice said person is very easy to troll and egg on to do embarrassing things online and offline.
Said trolling and egging on continues for 15 years and every bit of it is documented by people (read: assholes) who consider themselves scholars of the subject
Chris chan has been around for almost 20 years and likely has a cornucopia of mental conditions which the people who ruin her life as a personal hobby enjoy preying on. She's "really" into Sonic and has written extensive fan fictions about her own characters, and through various bad actors feeding into her grand delusions convinced her these characters existed in another dimension.
The whole thing also spawned an entire subculture of sociopaths looking for new "cringe" people to harrass
That's where kiwifarms comes out of of anyone's curious.
Behind the Bastards goes into her history a bit in the "internet is a bastard" episode.
Was the last BtB episode I listened to, seems like half of the airtime on any of Evan's podcasts is spent complaining about tankies anymore.
Really? :michael-laugh:
His spinoff "It Could Happen Here" that's largely hosted by a couple other people now regularly complain about tankies to the point I felt like I was just listening to posts from r/VaushV or r/tankiejerk.
It's kind of annoying to actually live in a world where tankies don't exist, politically speaking, but 99% of the ranty-complainyness targets them. I guess I should pass on that series then.
The first set of episodes where Evan's is narrating what societal collapse would like is fine. They changed the format to broader discussions after that and it was fine for a while until it became apparent Garrison spends a shit load of time on reddit.
Is that the little pipsqueak he adopted from the Portland protests
yeah I fucking hate that uneducated little shit
I only listened to the first "season" where Evan's using real world experiences to talk about a collapse in the US. It was haunting, but good.
Saw later it was getting more episodes and I wondered what it'd even been be about, disaster porn? Seemed like just trying to get more money off what was apparently a successful project. Like forcing a sequel.
How the hell are tankies even part of the focus? Disagree with them, ok, but they're not a big force now ( 😞 ) so why bother and in a collapse scenario, you're just preemptively creating enemies on the left who will almost certainly be doing their damnedest to help the worst affected and organize resistance to the actual horrors outlined in the first episodes? Fuuuuuck off, at least wait to shit on them till we're in the shit and people have to contend with some tankie formation existing and building power.

There are no communists in China. They’re all brainwashed to say they’re communist. Only capitalists can voluntarily say they like capitalism
Yeah that's never who people mean when they say tankie. They mean someone you don't like twitter.
Xi has control of the party but there are millions of liberals nonetheless

CIA funded plant posts anti-communist drivel, why is anyone surprised
I think this case is more due to the hosts suffering from being terminally online
He literally is an employee of bellingcat, which gets its funding from NED (CIA cut-out for funding color revolutions and US-aligned NGOs)
He’s US state sponsored media. There should be a disclaimer on all his work that it is funded in whole or in part by the CIA.
Yeah, but these people would tell scary stories about tankies while holding flashlights under their chins for free, unprompted
They are confirmed feds https://twitter.com/aaronjmate/status/1534536713812512770
