some interesting posts they've made:

"Would [writing] a torture scene be too gratuitous?"

"[My] main antagonist Samantha is Pure Evil. She is incredibly sadistic, and believes that she has a right to rule over humanity due to her being a demon. She has similar powers to Superman, with the addition of shapeshifting and a healing factor. What I am also trying to do is make her funny, like the Joker"

    These people are nothing without us. Literally nothing. Nobody. We make them just by existing, and they die if we stop indulging them.

    They only exist to provide a loud, public-facing opposition to leftist thoughts that literally nobody else is currently reading or caring about. Seriously, consider that for a second.

    Hyperfixating IT nerds who evolved a political gland barely 4 years ago exclusively upvote this shit and exclusively spread it. And like it or not, that's how your friends find out. If anyone you know has heard of Vaush and not watched him, that's probably why. He's another example of a content creator who casually picks at worthless political hangups and "just documents" minor concerns you might theoretically have, but long past their relevance so they'll never be resolved.

    It's a subtle kind of propaganda, and you see it here too. Anytime a minor conflict - over philosophies, morals, tactics - is passed over but not resolved by a given group, they will make sure to bring it up, and since the concept of balancing priorities is still new to many online leftists, all it takes to reopen the wound is bringing up these Important Issues. Eventually they become important as the self-sustaining discourse gets in the way of other agreements.

    If your first thought reading something is "Nobody I know is saying this," then let that be your reaction. Let that guide your next choices, instead of letting them lure you into "casually debating" new & avoidable fake Problems into existence, just so a new crop of people can decide they've "always had this one issue" with the Left.

    These people can effectively speak new types of infighting into existence if they want to. And they do, everyday, more than any real, normal person even has energy for. Even if thats not the point of this post, we can easily avoid so much grief by pointing out the irrelevance and demeaning them for it.

    Remember, don't ever fall for the "We need to have this conversation" trick. Make judgements based on what actually needs to be done, or spend equal time searching for answers.

      like people arguing about sectarian infighting in the Spanish civil war. At a certain point you just have to move on

        good rule of thumb:

        if the lefty infight happened before you were born, taking a side and arguing with people about it is weird

          That's why I only argue about online lefty personalities' infighting.

        EXACTLY! Jesus Christ its hard to put into words how bafflingly easy it is to fix this: STOP FUCKING TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING THAT

        a) MAKES YOU FEEL BAD

        b) MAKES FUTURE LEFTISTS FEEL BAD

        c) MAKES LIFE HARDER FOR EITHER

        UNLESS THE CONTENT OF THE PROBLEM MATTERS AS OF RIGHT NOW!!! WHEN IT DOES, DO BRING IT UP AND DO ANYTHING YOU CAN TO FIX IT! DONT WAIT FOR THE "BEST ANSWER" JUST PICK THE ONE THAT FUCKING WORKS! WITH AS LITTLE ARGUING OR WHINY TONES AS POSSIBLE! AND YES IT DOES MATTER!

          if everyone involved in an argument is dead that is the natural time to drop it. leftists are like the Corsican stereotypes where clans have 100 year old bloodfeuds about arguments over the ownership of a donkey
