In this video, I show my dick in front of the camera. Biiiig one; hard "D". I did this to show my interlocutors that thier language doesnt impress me, that their slurs dont't frighten or disarm me. You can see from their reactions that it worked - they were clearly taken aback. it was a power move which I am entirely unashamed of, but I understand how that behaviour might have upset some of you.
This is an example of what I would call "an invocation of a dong's power for good", but that's a subjective judgement. I invite you all to discuss this in the comments, critically or otherwise!
In this video, I deny the Holocaust. I did this to show my interlocutors that their theories don't impress me, that their ideology doesn't frighten or disarm me. You can see from their reactions that it worked - they were clearly taken aback. It was a power move which I am entirely unashamed of, but I understand how that might have upset (((some))) of you.
this is the same man who said black nationalism is as bad as white nationalism fuck him
"You know you can just say *n-word*s right?" - Vaush, a white leftist
(this is exactly what he said to a bunch of nazis on that clip btw)
90% of the time i see the word "interlocutor" used online, it's being said by an absolute knob.
I hang out with anthropologists and i feel that's the closest one can come to using it in a 'normal' way...
He's a guy who's come back to me calling him out for citing a fake paper written by a neo-nazi in one of his debates on Twitch, was to tell me that Sh0eonhead said he was cute "more than once" and then block me.
Yeah, she went hard for the 4chan audience. Is friends with Lauren Southern, is transphobic, all that fun stuff.
She hasn't changed. She's still friends with Lauren Southern, she still hates trans people. Her only claim to leftness is... Supporting universal healthcare? That's not left. She's just another shitty grifter.
I haven't really been paying attention to her, but she's been popping up on my twitter feed because people retweet her positively. My reaction's always "wait, wasn't she that gamergate person who was kind of a piece of shit?" But then all the comments are always people praising her using leftist-adjacent language and I feel like I'm going crazy
She's still the gamergate person who led brigades against trans people. Her alt-right husband broke up with her and she found a new grift. Gamers and radlibs like her because she's hot and allows them to feel better about their bigoted behavior because "she's on the left now".
Evidence she's on the left includes: supporting universal healthcare, being friends with V**sh, and tweeting "trans rights".
Side note, tweeting trans rights means exactly jack shit and I despise liberals who pretend it means something.
There should be a way to remove someone's leftist credentials.
Letting Vaush live rent-free in your head is the 69th form of liberalism.
It's true that we dwell on Vaush specifically here a lot. It's also true that Vaush lives in the minds of 285K could-be leftists (more or less going by subscriber count, and that's pretty small in the grand scheme of course). We're all in agreement here that we should combat liberalism, but is posting vaush combating liberalism? Unfortunately not, in fact we can't really do much about vaush (outside of minecraft) aside from spreading the good word outside of chapochat of course. I'd say that those of us who want our slop should also go out and do actual praxis if possible.
So, does posting about Vaush here serve a practical purpose? I'd argue that perhaps it does. In a democratic centralist system of organization, the struggle session is the way to democratically set the party line (good shit!). As a website, however, we only have a vague non-formalized 'line' based on the sum of all posts and what the people upbear and how the people respond to posts. Therefore I'd argue that bringing up common and at times tired talking points is useful for new members who may not yet be in the know.
How course hyper-focusing on Vaush probably isn't the most productive. We should focus on other issues as well, and indeed actual try to do something productive about it if possible. Let us harness the powers of posting, as well as letting us have our slop from time to time.
Is it ever really a "struggle session" though? We all know Vaush is bad, we've all seen these screenshots before, and anyone who defends him gets downvoted.
It has the potential to be a struggle session, but it turns out that the 'line' here on vaush is pretty reasonable. Personally I hadn't seen this screenshot, but that's beside the point.
Literally just being an asshole to get people to yell at him because it boosts his video in the algorithm
imagine being the guy who supported joe biden so hard because he thought he could influence the election with his audience. extra fucking lame
