Who are also connected to said fascist hashtags.

These people are not leftists. They arent your friends.

Here is a contra mod calling BJG and her podcast rich kid fascism. Which is hilariously ironic.. considering contra is that.

    Absolutely, hence why I changed it from "stop watching" to "stop relying on" as the other user suggested. Basically, yes, breadtube can be useful for getting people informed, but i think the hyperfocus on the drama surrounding them and being surprised when people leftists were relying on to be on the same level as the authors of theory, who were (often but not always) involved agitators and revolutionaries or organizers, disappoint them by being self-serving youtubers trying to massage an algorithm that relies on human labor to function (and thus benefit them) and not doing much beyond relying on said algorithm to get a platform to say things.

    Like, cool if lefttube got you into leftist ideas and politics and actions, but to treat them as if they're infallible and then get upset when they're dumb is a waste of time imo.

      Good point, but I'm not really seeing anyone on here arguing breadtubers are infallible. From where I'm standing it's mostly just chapos grandstanding about who's the only leftists around here. Which is cool as a running joke, and not so much when it turns into gatekeeping.

      For the record, I don't follow breadtube beyond the videos, or what few of them grab my attention. I don't do twitter, and don't care about relationships, spats, infighting etc. I see them and the podcasters as general leftist propaganda. Some good, some bad, a lot of it dubiously effective. That's it. I don't know where y'all are getting the idea anyone around here is confusing this with organising a revolution.
