    What kind of social-chauvinist loser highly ranks the opportunists (e.g. Vaush, Cody, Natalie) who went full popular-frontist, critically endorsing Biden and tarring independent socialist supporters with the same ultraleft brush as the strict electoral abstentionists (while still putting the anarchist Thought Slime in a mid-high tier)?

    Who puts women with much better politics (e.g. Mexie, and Lily Orchard to a lesser extent) in bottom tiers with Peter Coffin?

    What the fuck is Jreg doing here at all when he's the Political Compass subreddit in YouTuber form and known magnet for fascist recruiters?

      What kind of person knows this many media personalities? Either you can't hold all of them in your head or you're gonna make room by diverting power away from critical functions.

      I honestly don't think Peter Coffin is as bad as people make them out to be

        I don't care whether it's a bit or not. Jreg is indirectly responsible for allowing fascist ideas to flourish by giving them a platform in his comments sections and by representing them as one of the "quadrants". Most people are too media-illiterate to understand simple satire (just look at all the misplaced hatred for Chapo Trap House, which employs first-order irony on a regular basis), let alone more abstract concepts like meta-irony.

        Cryptofascists not only hide behind liberal formulations of free speech :freeze-peach:, they also have learned to infiltrate chan culture (and by extension meme culture in general) by hiding behind irony, post-irony, and meta-irony to spread their ideas because they recognize liberals and socialists would dogpile them, if not outright deplatform them, for earnestly or straightforwardly expressing their true beliefs and political goals.
