You can just not care about Youtubers it's like so easy you just go live your life it doesn't change anything
i typically don't, but was sent this video and found it interesting. I remember seeing him shilled here a few times a year ago so I thought I'd give a heads up.
also this has real world consequences since he is clearly a human trafficker who got a plea deal, became an informant, and now attends IRL rallies where he infiltrates orgs and informs on leftists. the video has footage of him speaking at left wing rallies with real voice after he becoming an informant, but before he developed the southern "beau" persona.
I'm not one to usually do the "this random online radlib is definitely a fed" thing, but this motherfucker is definitely a fed lol
Holy fucking shit I knew something was off about him when he started supporting all the positions that lined up with US interests on Ukraine but I didn't expect "literally convicted of human trafficking for slavery" to be one of them.
Slave owners should be killed. And their slave traffickers too.
Yeah I remember this coming up a few years ago on the true Anon subreddit (after the Chapo one got banned) and it made me suspicious. Still watched Beau's videos, thought there was still good stuff there despite him doing bad things in the past. Then all his videos started supporting US foreign policy, especially with regards to Ukraine, and more details came out about exactly what happened with regards to Beau's criminal charges (which is what this video discusses) and yeah I stopped watching his stuff. He even tried to do a gross "I have empathy for the Ukrainians because I worked with them and eastern Europeans by getting them to the US" in one of the videos, which was the last one I watched.
Lmfao truth.
Sorry if anyone is a Justin. If it makes you feel better, you look more like a Jerry than a Justin.
A kid named Justin stole my Pokémon Ruby cartridge when I was like 9, I’ve held to this rule ever since
ok but "human trafficking" is a bit of a stretch. It seems he was charged with and convicted of "alien smuggling" The crucial difference is, I think, that in this case it was ostensibly consensual. Seasonal workers making minimum wage at resorts and being charged absurd amounts for fraudulent visas by the smugglers? horribly exploitative and clearly illegal, but it's not exactly slavery. one of the documents says that most of the laborers had tickets to return home, and it was essentially a financial decision.
I don't mean to minimize him systematically exploiting desperate people, he's clearly a massive scumbag. I just wanted to point out that it seems like the core crime here was visa fraud. As for the rest of it, and having read the witness testimony linked, this just sounds like common domestic business practices. These are all things that american contracting companies already do with American citizens, and I've experienced it. The company putting workers up in crappy apartments where you have to share a room with multiple other people? Check. The middleman company charging you a fee for the gig, as a coercive mechanism, so if you bail you're on the hook for a large lump sum? Check. Shit wages and regular labor violations? Check.
Yes, this is illegal, but when has the US given two shits about labor violations? It's still incredibly profitable for such contracting companies. In my case, I was able to sue the company afterwards, over the shittons of unpaid overtime, and after prolonged legal efforts, and the lawyers getting half the settlement, I got some compensation. But that was just the amount that they were supposed to have paid me for overtime. Forget about the illegal financial coercion and the problem with your boss being your landlord, because companies don't face consequences for that. And at the end of the day, they paid me roughly half of what they were getting from the corporate client, so it was still profitable for them and it continues to be their business model.
I'm an immigrant but most of my coworkers were born and raised in the US. So if this is how Americans are exploited by American companies, I imagine much worse is happening to illegal immigrants, who essentially have no legal recourse.
EDIT: just realized this was a video post lmao. to be clear, I did not watch the video and this was just based on the documents linked.
ostensibly consensual
he visa scammed people and kept them in jobs and docked their pay, that is definitely not consensual. he was facing 65 years in prison, mysteriously got 41 months, got all his confiscated stuff back, and suddenly became a left wing "activist". seems like he became an FBI informant after accepting a plea deal, hence the absurd amount of leniency from the "justice" system
just realized this was a video post lmao. to be clear, I did not watch the video
watch
Jeffrey Epstein got a sweetheart sentence for being a sex trafficker because the judge was informed he was an "intelligence asset".
Yeah I was thinking the same before I watched the video too. The lawsuit did not charge some crimes they could have, and instead focused on visa fraud and what the government calls human trafficking -- which in this case essentially meant people got in without the right visas.
Getting people into your country is actually based, so I don't give much credibility to what the government considers to be trafficking in this instance.
However, from the video, it seems King and his cohorts used threats to keep the people working for them, and made them pay absurd amounts of money for the visas and such. I know US visas are expensive, but BadEmpenada looked it up and such a work visa costs around 200$ and not the 1500 they were charging the workers.
The lawsuit did not charge some crimes they could have
because they planned on using him as a fake activist snitch
This happened afterwards, e.g. they seized his properties and then gave them back to him for no reason while he was in prison, which happened after sentencing.
Possibly the prosecution was in on it but I think what's more likely is they wanted to stick to the charges they could easily prove in court. This is common in the US from what I understand, and when he was facing 60 years already and is white, they probably didn't care to try and add a smaller charge on top of that.
no. watch the video. when a convict has their confiscated properties given back to them, the court usually documents the reason for doing so. Not only is it unusual, but the court kept their reasons for doing so confidential. Making the whole thing far more suspicious than usual.
65 years dialed down to 3.4 years + confiscated property returned for deliberately classified reasons + immediately become a left wing "activist" with opinions suspiciously in line with US foreign policy immediately upon leaving prison = SUPER SUSPICIOUS
BadEmpenada (who’s kind of a sexpat in Latin America tbh, so it’s a bit rich coming from him)
Source? This sounds like some bullshit the national socialists or the pro-Israel neolibs made up about him. I've been his follower for a long time and according to him, he just moved because he went there during uni and decided to live there upon graduation. Essentially he's a weeabo for south america.
However if there is proof he is a sexpat then there is no denying it.
You're right, this doesn't seem confirmed. I legit don't remember where I heard it.
He remains a trot though but when he's right, he's right (and if "Beau" has taught us one thing it's that you can't trust what breadtubers say about themselves :P)
I legit don’t remember where I heard it.
If you remember one day and its legit please don't hesitate to share it so another one of these streamer fucks can be executed in the public eye
What are the signs of him being a trotskyist? I haven't read any of trotsky's works so I have no clue at all.
I don't think he's confirmed it but he really gives the signs of a Trotskyist lol
Trostkyists don't really take after Trotsky himself. At least I wouldn't say that's the defining feature of a trot. Trotsky himself said some stuff that wasn't entirely wrong, and he said some stuff that was completely wrong, and Trotskyists somehow evolved into following just Trotsky and nobody else. That's all they read and care about, and anything Lenin said was, when you speak to one, superseded by whatever Trotsky had to say about it.
Trots were the ones who started "Neither Washington nor Moscow (but yes Washington)" back in the day, and are not back with "Neither Washington nor Beijing".
Empenada's video on Xinjiang which was supposed to look at every argument just ended up saying "there's propaganda in the West but actually they're right regardless". He can't bring himself to support any current socialist experiment but he still calls himself a Marxist, which is 90% of the defining features of a trot.
Yeah the US's definition of human trafficking is...not good. Like if this was on a much larger scale, it wouldn't even be illegal. JP Morgan Chase hiring thousands of visa workers and paying each one $10k/year less than comparable American-born employees? That's just the system working.
And that $10k reduction in pay is essentially the result of them holding deportation over your head. If the threats are made via boilerplate contracts then it's good and legal.
I think to most people human trafficking implies something like the slave trade. But in legal parlance it's literally as small as getting someone into the country with the wrong visa.
If you hire someone and request say a tourist visa for them instead of a work visa, you could be guilty of human trafficking and visa fraud. And I'm no fed or snitch, what do I care about visa types.
Marrying someone so they can get a passport for example, if both people consent to it, is based.
who’s kind of a sexpat in Latin America tbh
not confirmed but worth keeping in mind
Breadtubers can't be wrong, they can never be wrong, except for vaush!!!
Breadtube is a vague term. It encompasses anyone who’s young and makes video essays about terminally online “leftist” subjects and say “capitalism” in every video
It really exemplifies all of the problems of lacking a centralized structure which can gatekeep and expell problematic elements from a movement.
My 70 yr old SO watches Beau and this watching was relatively a good thing as it distracted her from Rachael Maddow et al. I sent a link to her from this video but now I have a problem
I really wish there was someone who could speak to uneducated boomers about leftist issues. Prof Wolff is good but not turn-on-boomer-tv-and-listen good if you get my drift. Any suggestions?
your guess is as good as mine. I've given up on attempting to educate people older than me because it's like, even if I'm successful, all it's gonna do is make a bunch of people with one foot in the grave realize they spent their whole lives being shitheads. it's not like they're gonna start doing direct action
Well, affianced is more accurate and yes. I'll be 60 in July. I just wanted some ideas for more left leaning media for boomers but it's too tall an order as there's no money in it.
BreadTube is just horrible, but having a guy doing human trafficking named FIFTH COLUMN with fed ties is on another level lol
[edit] Just realized this thread is 6 months old, why the hell is it on "Hot" :P
federation has totally messed up which threads get pushed to the top. I just sort by "new" now lol
