Her actual take is that the red/brown alliance everyone is so scared already exist in the form of the left acting as an auxiliary to the democratic party and in turn the larger right wing power structure. From that perspective the left already supports a ton of reactionary policy and the snarling at someone like the dude in the chair is completely superficial, so she tosses out statements like this to play off that. I'm not saying people have to agree with that take, but she is not a moron or a nazi.
I think you’re giving her too much credit here, she’s just trying to be a shithead, ala Anna from red scare or Aimee terese. I don’t think anyone thinks being angry at people like the guy in the chair is some form of real praxis or anything, they just think there were Nazis who wanted blood in the capital building
I also don’t think she’s a Nazi, I think she’s just apathetic or even antagonistic at points towards things POC or other marginalized groups are frightened of from the right-wing. Like most of that crowd on twitter (Sean McCarthy etc)
Not a fan of her and haven’t been for a long time, but every now and then someone I know retweet’s her and it’s usually some antagonist mean spirited shit like this.
upofs242 is totally right... this is a joke. Also the mutual aid sex work thing was a twitter struggle sesh a few months back and people are still dunking on it.
I don't know anything about Angie speaks, but on the surface this doesn't seem like its that bad of a tweet. like, seems super ironic to me, but again, idk anything about Angie speaks.
She’s said she literally thinks Maga chuds are comrades. She’s been like this for awhile. Don’t know how ironic it is at this point. If it is irony, shit really isn’t funny.
Glad I’m off twitter for the most party because of contrarian shit like this
but like, who cares what she thinks, why do you have to come here and be so pissed about a month old joke. you may or may not like or dislike the joke (i think its a funny tweet - it is funny to me), you may or may not agree with her opinions on this or other subjects (personally i’d never heard of her so idk what those are, i really dislike sean mccarthy who these comments mention a lot so maybe i wouldnt like her), but jeez man this just doesnt seem worth the bad vibes
I care what she thinks because she has a decently large platform to broadcast this kind of trash, there are plenty of people who will take to heart most everything she says. If this was some random jackass, I’d probably agree with you to an extent, however this is a content creator with a decent audience.
This is also a continuous pattern and she’s not the only one saying these kinds of things. I absolutely refuse to accept a class reductionist left, I’m sorry. It’s not happening
“When the fascist uprising comes I will personally have sex with every fascist paramilitary simply because they kill liberals in the street”
What contrarianism does to a mf
they named their podcast after a mexican gangster!!!!
This is very obviously a tongue in cheek joke. Making off-color jokes isn’t the same as being a Nazbol dude. Come on
I don’t think she’s a Nazi, I just think she’s a class reductionist who thinks any type intersectionality is largely useless. She also makes fun of the fears various marginalized groups have about the current far right and just mocks it as ‘radlib’.
True empathy from Angiespeaks
The Democrats aren't my friends, so why should I care if some chuddy person is sitting in some other more optically pleasing chuddy person's office?
Democrats don’t have to be your friends, it would be a funny take if all these idiots did was sit in Nancy pelosis chair, They had people like AoC scared for their lives.
Have some empathy
I can have empathy for the people in the situation who, when everything is chaos and confusion and not knowing, where terrified while at the same time finding it funny that in some random corner of the chaos a person was just walking around with the speaker's podium, kicking it in Pelosi's chair, and standing around for photo ops in a horned helmet and cape.
I would have an entirely different opinion if the majority of those folks were armed to the teeth, taking and holding facilities, finding people, capturing people and/or killing them. Fortunately that wasn't the case, very few fatal acts of violence seemed to have happened and only small groups working independently from each other seemed to have had any plans/capability of doing anything horrible and didn't seem to succeed in those plans.
I’ve enjoyed some of her work in the past, but I got sick of listening to her and Peter Coffin just complain about getting cancelled on twitter all the time.
Boaters are exactly the same as neoliberal ghouls that are 3 people away from the driver's seat of the Empire. The more you know.
If two people are shitty, but unequally so, it's reasonable to dub the less-shitty one a monarch who deserves sexual favors. The more you know
Basically this. No need to suck off a fascist or venerate a group of reactionaries because they were fighting with neoliberals.
Fuck these people. Anyone who doesn’t believe that should listen to AoCs story of how friggin scared she was.
I hate this contrarian class reductionist left
How is it possible that leftists, who understand and reject the false Democrat/Republican dichotomy, need it explained to them that the enemy of my enemy is not automatically my friend? Baffling
Angie sucks. So does that whole side of class reductionist twitter.
If you enjoy her lame bitching about ‘radlibs’ though, good on you. There are other people who do that way better. Same goes for Peter coffin
It sucks that some people see that as a positive. To me the left has always been about fighting all forms of oppression, so I’m disappointed when lately it seems like a lot of bitter people are out to make it about only working class economic politics and everything else is liberal bullshit or a meaningless distraction.
Getting tired of it, but I won’t give up, I’ll keep fighting for an intersectional left as long as I can
