Memes like this are funny because they totally ignore the vast difference in population size, access to ports, infrastructure, military bases, etc. etc.
Why is it a fight for a $15 minimum wage and not a fight to tie minimum wage to some moving metric (inflation, cost of living, comparative wages, etc.)?
We need a leftist Tim Pool, someone who claims to be a Republican and streams themselves reading like Democracy Now and It's Going Down articles while complaining about how Republicans are destroying the country.
Broke: Contra is Transphobic, Booo!!
Woke: Contra is a Liberal, Booo!!
Bespoke: Although I don't always agree with Contra; she has been incredibly influential in moving people further to the left and that is awesome.
super quick reviews:
Sterner - everything is a spook
Foucault - everything is a prison
Debord - everything is a spectacle
Freud - everything is a sex drive
Marx - everything is a class struggle
Hagel - everything is a dialectic
Kropotkin - everything is bread
Y'all remember when police in Philadelphia dropped a bomb on their own citizens destroying 60 homes, killing eleven people, five of them children to destroy a commune of black folks?
Contrapoints, Peter Coffin, Vaush, Angie Speaks etc. are my comrades!
No one is above criticism but we must be commensurate
Most folks arent woke on ancom or trans rights
My reactionary father literally brags about wanting to beat trans folks n shoot immigrants
Be pragmatic!
Folks mad that Vaush did the voice of John Galt in my video.
1) Re-watch Contra's Cancelling video.
2) Maybe learn more about Vaush's positions, you might not disagree as much as you think.
3) Should the left to be an inviting place for new folks or a hostile and shrinking club?
ironic misogyny can be funny, teasing Lauren Suthern for telling women to be pregnant when she fails to is funny because she's a bigot. JK Rolling is also a bigot but the problem is most folks recognize Suthern's misogyny but too many people fail to see terfs as also misogynistic
Right-wingers brag that "mArX nEvEr HaD a ReAl JoB iN hIs LiFe!!"
It's because they don't believe "author" is a real job.
I suspect because they don't read.
As someone who has read quite bit of Marx and liked what I read, I can easily say: fuck China and fuck all states and their use of state machinery to oppress the people.
Tbh I appreciate some leftist infighting.
Like debating what Marx would have thought about "vote blue no matter who" is much more interesting that debating if She-Ra's cup size will be the fall of western civilization.
What if Marx wrote like Ayn Rand?
Just big fairytales of Chads spouting half baked monologues about how great and perfect communism is and all the interlocutors acting like dumbfounded babies in response, so the reader can just uncritically soy clap along.
Might a sold more books
I HATE campaigns based on love such as "Love Trumps Hate".
Positive messages are fine but I will not love my oppressors.
I will not love a member of the fortune 500
I will not love the troops
I will not love the police
I will not love ICE
Leave those institutions & we'll talk
I like Vaush, and Luna Oi, and Non Compete. I like pretty much every lefty content creator. They all fill unique and distinct niches. I want there to be even more lefty creators filling more niches.
The Left: holds protests and is brutally pepper sprayed and clubbed.
The Right: holds protests where several people have handguns on their belt and no one is pepper sprayed or clubbed.
Me: perhaps the left should build a better self defense/gun culture.
Twitter: mHa LaRpEr!!!
Not all cops are bad.
Some cops have decided to take a stand and they're donating 40% of their paychecks to charity to fight police brutality.
I forget the name of the charity they're donating to, but if you google "police 40%" I'm sure it will come right up
Currently listening to the Destiny and Vaush debate.
I am patiently waiting to be named the most accurate and trustworthy YouTuber.
I will keep you updated.
I liked Contra's latest video, but it wasn't relatable.
I didn't like Cribs or My Sweet 16.
I liked Intervention and Jerry Springer.
I don't care for Gigi Gorgeous or Jeffery Star.
I like Cooking With Horders and Ever Day Hardcore.
The Rich do not interest me.
Fuck the Rich.
When Unlearning Economics and Vaush talk about how breadtube doesn't discuss economics, and you've spent the last 7 years discussing Karl Marx, Fredrick Engles, Thomas Piketty, Joseph Stiglitz, Michael Albert, David Harvey, etc etc etc
Folks mad at this are self reporting. Y'all know actual activist spaces (food banks, soup kitchens, etc) are full of religious retirees with troubling ideas?
Y'all should approach fellow leftists knowing you will disagree on things and that's ok.

Coworker: what are you listening to? I can't tell, are they conservative or liberal?
Me: it's a youtuber
@VaushV
they're more of an anarchist.
Coworker: Oh? Like libertarian?
*there is so much work to be done*
Imagine volunteering at a soup kitchen, protest, or other type of activism & you see that a volunteer is an online figure left of center you disagree with (Vaush, Thought Slime, Destiny, Peter Coffin, Contrapoints etc)
If this causes you to leave, you should rethink your politics
Yo,
@TheOmniLiberal
Candace Owens & other conservatives glazing trade school over college is not about what they recommend for teenagers. It's for their boomer trade school audience.
Folks like my Father (a mechanic) love hearing they're better/smarter than yuppie college grads.
My anti-masker sister just said, "250,000 people isn't even that much, it's only the size if a small town"
Apparently conservatives are now okay with entire small towns being killed.
We need to abolish capitalism.
short of this we need to:
-Institute a maximum wage.
-Manditory free housing.
-Public funded healthcare.
-Convert 99% of the military budget into addressing climate change, education, and infrastructure.
-Guillotines.
