why must you make this post after i got really high?????
To get the elephant out of the room, Hasan Piker would be the modern day American fuhrer if he was a chud. Dude is way too hot and people ignore everything he says due to sheer thirst.
Alex Jones would be the most influential firebrand leftist in history. Literally not afraid to read BMF posts on the air and live. He'd probably push a very effective "pet owners are slavemasters" campaign if he tried. We would be all be vegan after his grand project is comeplete. We'd never have to eat another bug again.
Comrade Trump copy pasta DUH!!
Having all those crazy fired up southern pastors just GOING OFF about capitalism would make me crack a smile ngl
Hasan Piker would be the modern day American fuhrer if he was a chud.
Dude like less than 1% of the us population have ever heard of this dude, you could argue that as a reactionary he might have more of a platform, but like... He'd maybe be the David Duke of his generation. He's just not going to get the clout.
lmao youre 100% right
i think my twitch brainworms took control while i was writing that
"hypothetically, lets say there is a communist revolution in this country, now hypothetically, lets say that all your land is going to be confiscated by the government, you think these plantation owners arent going to just sell their plantations and leave?"
love for landlords hbomber guy bursts in "sell the houses to who? fucking communism man?"

Isn't this a blessed idea because by sheer numbers Leftism would be the predominant ideology?
It's cursed because you'd have to deal with familiar figures you know and love being awful people. The chuds/libs being leftists in this alternate universe would sound nice but it could also be a really weird thing to experience for some people. That's the cursed part.
I knew someone was going to bring up parasociality but come on that wasn't what I was going for here I just wanted to be all like "haha hey what if people you knowof were like the complete opposite doesn't that sound weird" aaaaaa
also the emote I wanted to use doesn't seem to work so I have to substitute it.
In general, I find left-adjacent personalities slightly more obnoxious than reactionary personalities but they get points for not having completely shit politics. But if they somehow switch politics?
I would love a leftist Ben Garrison or a leftist Joe Rogan or even a leftist Alex Jones. Third Worldist Haz would be really really really funny even if he would be as equally cringey as Patsoc Haz. I want to read some Benzo-addled rant from leftist Peterson about how the chaos dragon represents the bourgeoisie and how the proletarian knight must slay bourgeois chaos in order to bring socialist peace to reality. I want to hear some rant from Pewdiepie about how the imperial core labor aristocracy has no revolutionary potential because he got headshot too many times. JK Rowling tweeting incoherent rants about how truscum and terfs need to eat shit and die would be really weird but a welcome change from what we have now.
Now imagine the reverse. Imagine a tradcath Contrapoints or a Zionist BadEmpanada or a conservative Adam Conover. That would be complete trash. Seriously, imagine a Zionist BadEmpanada. That dude would be DMing Palestinian Twitter accounts with photos of dead Palestinians or some equally unhinged shit.
The only reactionary personality who would be trash either way are Ben Shapiro and Steve Crowder for having obnoxious punchable faces. But for people like Tim Pool? Tim Pool sucks for being a reactionary fascist enabler, but he isn't particularly objectionable on a personal level (or what we see on screen since I never met the guy). Like imagine if Tim Pool and Hasan switched politics. Tim-Pool-with-Hasan's-politics isn't that objectionable and outside of being weirdly insecure about being bald, isn't that much of a weirdo either and Hasan-with-Tim-Pool's-politics would be a shithead for being a crypto-fascist who's also conventionally good looking.
Besides being slightly more obnoxious, left-adjacent personalities are also terribly outnumbered. At a bare minimum, almost every single gaming or gaming-adjacent personality would flip from being some bigoted crypto-fascist to espousing progressive politics. Why would anyone not slam the red button to switch their politics?
Would the converted chuds get to keep the wealth and connections they currently have?
be more or less obnoxious as a leftist.
