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.

    It’s not meaningless, it speaks to the very real phenomena of US-friendly westoid leftism, filled with chauvinists and imperialists. Just because some cringe fringe weirdos used it doesn’t make it false

        Mate and Norton from Grayzone use it frequently

        All of Breadtube is part of this synthetic left, not just the more egregious examples like Robert Fedvans and Voosh

            To clarify I’m not saying that the entirety of breadtube is CIA funded (although there are prominent examples). I’m saying that the entirety of the loose ideological cultural grouping who self-identify as “breadtube” and move in those circles are part of the choir. They are almost all imperialists and somewhat anti-communist.

            Hbomberguy says he doesn’t support the USSR and supports a bombing campaign on DPRK. PhilosophyTube shits on actually existing socialism. Many of them repeat pro-Hong Kong protester narratives, or Uighur genocide narratives, or pro-Ukrainian narratives.

            Mate is still at Grayzone and doing good work. Blumenthal is the one who “went off the deep end” allegedly, but this is overstated. He just has a different opinion than people here on Covid policies within the west (he never was against Chinese style lockdowns). He’s still more based than every breadtuber

                Norton is based and uses the term. As do people like Luna Oi, Hakim, Carl Zha, Caitlin Johnston, Moon of Alabama and pretty much every cool and good commentator on the left.
