I dunno, if the person with the most similar political development on Youtube was freaking Shoe0nhead, that would probably make me want to rethink my beliefs.
Like, there's non-tankie leftists online like hbomb, philosophytube, big joel, the chapos, contrapoints, hasanabi, but they talk about actual fucking left-wing ideals, the injustices in the present day and what could be done to fix them. They don't turn their entire online presence into "im one of the good lefties, not like these evil tankies, im one of the good and reasonable ones"
Two things result from this fact:
I. Communism is already acknowledged by all European powers to be itself a power.
II. It is high time that Communists should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Communism with a manifesto of the party itself.
She's a grifter cuz that's what gets her money. And she's friends with fucking Vaush. Also contrapoints is a massive lib.
I remember watching a snippet of her one stream and she had on a "Please Be Patient With Me I Have Autism" hat on, way to mock autistic people you ass.
At worst that's just straight bigotry, at best (if she's autistic herself) it's yet another instance of her trying to be "one of the good ones".
That's why I compare her to shoe0nhead. "Pick-me" leftists. Defining their political ideology by who is nicest to them on twitter. How long until she does a stream with Destiny where they congratulate each other on their reasonable, well-mannered discussion despite their "differing opinions?"
Is shoe even remotely left? I remember like...over a decade ago I think...watching a video of hers where her essay was on why feminism is bad for women actually and how feminism is making her life worse. I figured she was a permanent write off at that point. It sounds like she's still obnoxious but that's still quite the distance to travel if anyone is considering her left at all.
She initially did anti-sjw content, then for a while she did anti-anti-sjw content (she was a radlib and a big bernie bro), and now she's circled around to anti-anti-anti-sjw content. She did a "How the left failed men" video that made the rounds and YT won't stop recommending it to me.
She had apparently become a bernie bro in 2020 and then steadily fell back into fascism.
Forget where I first heard it, but most of these people that jumped onto Bernie from the right just wanted free healthcare and were fine with all the horrible shit otherwise.
Her political alignment is whatever her boyfriend ‘s is at the time
She was getting flak for her use of the R-slur and then suddenly she announces that she's autistic so she can pretend to have an R-word pass.
My questions to her are as follows:
-
If you don't have an intellectual disability, by what right do you claim your use of the R-word is legitimate?
-
If you are implying that you're reclaiming the R-slur then how are you using it in reverse discourse rather than perpetuating its use as a slur?
-
If you feel you have a right to use this word because it's been used against you then would you agree that, as a white person who has occasionally had the N-slur used against me, I also have a right to use the N-slur to denigrate others in the same way that you use the R-slur?
-
I'm not questioning your self-diagnosis but if you, as a public figure, are openly announcing that you are autistic and positioning your use of slurs as activism, what other autistic activism have you engaged in and which of the prominent leaders in the autistic activism space do you defer to and take up the charge from as a newly-minted autistic activist yourself?
Even as a medically diagnosed autistic guy, I wouldn't even consider using the R-word.
There isn't a 'pass' for using it, as, unlike the N-word amongst African-Americans, it doesn't come with any connotation of 'friend', or 'shared heratige' among neurodivergents. It is purely used derogatorily.
The N-word was reclaimed by black people to be used with those connotations by taking the original word and its meanings and subverting them into something either positive or neutral. The exact same thing happened with the word queer.
It's a very conscious act to reclaim terms like that.
I'm not saying that the R-slur is beyond reclamation, far from it, but it's not going to be reclaimed by people who aren't the object of the term and it's not going to be reclaimed by using the word in exactly the same way that it has historically been used.
Honestly Keffals' proclaiming her autistic status is just a veneer of progressivism to make her audience feel comfortable with her use of slurs.
It reminds me of people who use the f-slur as a claim that they're reclaiming it.
When people use that as a rhetorical shield to cower behind, my go-to is asking them how.
They'll invariably trip over themselves in trying to justify their actions because they don't understand what the reclamation of words looks like.
-
If your shtick is punching left I'm sorry but I am putting you in the same column as all the fascists punching left in terms of the outcome that your actions have.
Fuck Keffals.

westerners both want china to solve poverty in hong kong and fix all the problems there but also leave hong kong alone and end their "tyranny" or whatever. classic liberal double-standard.
Hong Kong recently sought to restrict golf courses and eliminate pod homes and replace them with normal apartments. I’m sure anti-communist leftists will be happy about this
But did you consider: CEE CEE PEE no freedom social credit score Mao fucked my mom?
She was in some communist organization that said in Cuba, no one is allowed to smoke or that no one chooses to smoke - which is already an absurd claim considering it’s reputation with cigars and Castro and Che’s image - and one day when she was in a Cuban hospital (after she and some friends got piss drunk), she saw a nurse smoking on her break, and that broke her fragile brain.
If you’re not able to see the absurdity here, imagine this scenario: you’re a Chinese communist. You hear from everyone about how every American is fat. One day you travel to America and the first thing you see is some fit guy jogging down the street. You declare an eternal war against communism and China afterwards
she saw a nurse smoking on her break, and that broke her fragile brain.
Westerns Liberals believe whatever shit their media tells them. Then when they visit the Global South they are surprised that people live a normal life and do normal things.
That was my experience when I went to Chile. The only times I still wish I smoked is when I remember how it was an instant icebreaker and convo starter even with my broken ass Spanish. The lesson I learned is that people just wanna chill.
Not to mention Cuba has been blockaded since the beginning of its based era, so she was depleting scarce resources lol
I first heard of keffals from her being harassed by kiwifarms Nazis and obviously she doesn't deserve that, but everything I've seen from her since is not good.
Seems like she cashed out with the huge wave of (deserved) sympathy she earned during that whole mess and decided to start going for the breadtube audience.
But she’s not even doing well at that since the Breadtube wave has mostly come and gone.
Its the equivalent of trying to invest in tech right as the Dot com crash happens
Yeah true, but it's not exactly breadtube either. Vaushtube? Radlibs, I mean radlibs.
I don’t remember if it was her or someone else, but someone engaged in weird fetishes in a public discord channel and berated a supposedly Jewish fan. All I know is that it was an e-celeb, which continues to prove that all e-celebs must be sent to a farm to become a normal person
Are you talking about the time FinnishBolshevik did the NKVD r*pe roleplay on discord?

"I was born in Russia in 1995 and saw first hand what communism did to my country" energy.
The most insulting thing about this image is using the worst possible photo of Lenin.
unfortunately this is not his worst photo, his last photo is the worst
I remember getting into an argument with some people on here over here a year ago when she started her anti-tankie bullshit. Got told that I was doing purity testing but these types always expose themselves over time. Any goodwill she had from covering trans issues in the past is overrun with this and rubbing shoulders with people who barely tolerate her existence.
Anti-Tankie stuff is only trendy to a segment of the internet population that lives their life on it and consumes enough political content to give a shit. Her views barely break into the 100k range if she's lucky. Imagine failing at being an edge lord online.
They do this because it is a very lucrative grift. Right wingers love being told they are great and will throw huge amounts of money to anyone who coddles them. The "I used to be a leftist but the left wing was too crazy" grift is a popular one.
I used to be part of this cult called Hexbear. They bullied me for my Western chauvinistic beliefs, and kept sending me pig testicles with poop on it. Now I realise that unchecked Western military aggression is the correct way.
I'm getting ready to quit my job.
in that one.
