Lurking on the Vaush Discord to post screenshots of it here has incredible amounts of "being 7 and spying on girls playing with Barbies at the sandbox and reporting every detail to your friends" energy
What a way to admit you’re not a leftist. Hey chuds ya wanna fight over the internet?
"Tankies and online LGBT wokescolds are more harmful to the left than nazis" - Vaush, unironically
I bet its because debate or some bullshit. I dont get this debate with facts and logic thing. It does nothing, it changes nobodys mind and its just insanely innane.
Why would you do such a thing? Do you really despise yourself so much you would trade away your sanity for some upbears? Great job 👍
I don't care about V**sh other than how he managed to reconcile anarchism with markets and co-ops, like what??? Markets imply private property so how do you enforce it??? Doesn't anarchism also imply the abolition of private property??? Wouldn't whatever horizontally aligned coalition of securitrons just be the police but with extra steps??? Who's stopping me from just taking the ethically sourced Peruvian handweaved basket???
It just behooves me lmao
Mutualism/Proudhonism is the original modern form of anarchism, and could be considered both Left and Market oriented via a form of highly conditional personal property for things that were means of production but also in personal use. It isn't entirely stupid as an ideology, though of course I disagree strongly with it.
Vaush is not one of these because he's never read a theory book in his fucking life.
Damn, I keep clicking on the "click here to die instantly" posts but I guess the only real way to get it to actually take your life is to associate with these people lol
ridiculous amount of self-importance to assume that a youtuber's fanbase can push a sitting congressperson any direction
I honestly think Vaush's audience would probably push AOC to the right if such an event was possible (it's not).
When we disband the FBI and form the People's Special Investigation Unit, we will make you the first elected head, if you want the position, of course
i appreciate unicornriot.ninja's discord leaks so i can read shitty people's discord takes without having to lurk myself
My trajectory from politically ignorant libertarian to C-Span liberal to theory-reading MLM proponent went through Vaush. There are a few theory-reading leftists in his community -- sustained mostly by Bakunin, Kropotkin, and Chomsky -- but he has difficulty engaging with even those. Any time a leftist comes on with theory-informed opinions, it becomes clear Vaush is woefully out of his depth. So while parasocial affirmation is the cited reason, my guess would be that hosting discussions with anyone more than slightly further left than Vaush is damaging to the brand, and does the most to unravel the grift by way of contrast.
but he has difficulty engaging with even those
Remember that time he claimed to read Lenin. Lenin! Vaush has problems admitting he doesn't know shit… I bet it's an ego thing.
