    I don't understand the desire to even bring them up. They aren't important or famous, they aren't leftists, and they're not grotesque enough to even be interesting. Why would anyone want to talk about them in the first place?

      They aren't important or famous

      See, I think they are pretty famous since they have streams/videos with viewership 100x larger than the number of accounts on this site, which to mean makes them at least minor celebrities that people go to for political opinions. And since they claim to be part of the same political sphere as us yet put forth a lot of takes that are often much more liberal, that means that they are potentially troublesome counter revolutionaries (for lack of a better term).

      Tbf I did get pretty sick of the excess V*ushposting a while back, so I get that too.

        Yeah that makes sense. I guess part of it is that I don't see these two really convincing anyone to do anything, and that most of their fan base seems to be comprised of Warren democrats. And like Warren democrats, they're liberals who are trying to pick the most bleeding edge of liberalism so they're mostly congregating there because they are being told what they already know they want to hear. Warren, Vaush, CP all feel like liberal affirmation for twitchy cowardly dorks, rather than any movement with any coherent strategy other than whining at everyone to their left.

      They siphon energy away from actually beneficial directions into their opportunist libshit. Every vaushite and contra (lol) is a potential comrade that now believes you're a tankie and have to vote for biden. An imperialist social fascist. You really don't want to just ignore their influence. Ya gotta smash it.
