This video comes more off as a plea for why people should donate money to him than a solid defense for Contra etc. He says they only make like 10k a month, which is peanuts compared to rightwingers. But this is so stupid that nobody who takes one peek at Contra's numbers will accept -- At almost 12000 patreons (which is already about 500 more than when I made that count on the other page), he has now more patreons than his silly 10k number. Contra probably makes over 600k (and likely much more) a year now, which right wing youtuber do you think makes more than that? Ben Shapiro maybe?This video poses a misleading question but whatever, what else is new with these people...
To answer your video Aaron (since you've obviously been hate-lurking here again): no, you cannot be a leftist and be a Youtube millionaire and not appear as a total opportunist and a blatant hypocrite. You leftists act like your beliefs are very complex and advanced and I have to study Marx biblically to understand what you're about, but it's all very simple really. Leftists believe that the collective is more important than the individual. Leftists critique capitalism because they believe that "trickle down economics" is a myth and that capitalism only leads to the concentration of wealth in the hands of the few (monopoly) rather than the spreading of wealth and a more horizontal economy that benefits the whole collective. This is why leftists believe in redistribution, because they want to take the wealth from the few and spread it over the collective. If Nyk truly really believed all the shit he has said in the past about capitalism (two videos on this topic, which I am sure you've watched), he would put a cap on his earnings on Patreon and tell people to stop donating money to him and to go and donate that money to as many different progressive causes as possible instead, preferably local ones. In other words, Nyk would personally organize his economics - as a conduit for money in a larger ecosystem - to make sure that this results in a more horizontal redistribution of wealth, which is his professed belief as a leftist. Oh, and another thing, will you and your followers please stop excusing this shit with the vapid claim that "Nyk is not a leftist, he's a liberal"? Nyk himself identified as a "socialist" ON PAPER, so will you people please stop lying about this? In his biographic short on the webpage where people could buy tickets for the Free Speech Club event with Theryn in 2018 Nyk described himself there as "a pessimistic socialist". Not just a vague-nebulous leftist but a "socialist".
What you are arguing in this video, Aaron, is just a leftwing version of trickle down, ironically the very thing you leftists claim is a myth - unless it's one of your own milloinaires you try to salvage through this myth. Nyk is not transparent about his earnings and spendings at all, so your allegations of a leftist trickle down economics simply triggered by Nyk becoming a Youtube millionaire is itself just an assumption with absolutely nothing to substantiate it. This is another violation of leftist politics because it was traditionally leftists who demanded transparency from the rich, with the argument that the rich can use their money to disproportionately stir or influence politics. Leftists wanted to be able to track where the money goes, so they argued that the rich need to be transparent about their spendings, especially when it comes to their charitable donations to political causes, because they can stir politics disproportionately in their favour. All we know in that regard is that Nyk has backed Mermaids in the UK and the Trevor Project in the US but to what extent, that is unknown. None of these traditionally leftist demands for financial transparency placed on Nyk or any of the other BreadTube millionaires. Which only proves the larger opportunistic hypocrisy of your movement that you refuse to hold them up to the same standards you demand from everyone else the moment they themselves became 1%ers.
Finally, why doesn't Nyk himself openly volunteer to set a good example and do any of the above voluntairly on his own accord? He doesn't do it, because he really is a greedy selfish narcissist who doesn't really believe in leftist redistribution ideology, much less intends to practice this belief in his own life. He is a massive hypocrite and if you people weren't such horny trannie chaser groupie cheerleaders you would be calling him out for this. You cannot claim to care about climate change and then take multiple cross-continental and cross-Atlantic fucktrips a year, when you could easily stay home and fuck some locals instead. (BTW, how was Ireland, Nyk? Was it as green as the last time you saw it, or did climate change mid-winter drought turn the grass yellow? Did Oliver like it?)
"Karma can be a bitch", right on Wissa, you get it girl:
So keep defending Contra who is in the top 1% now.
To look at a few of the other breadtubers: PhilosophyTube has close to 5000 patreons, and so would make 10k a month even if every one of them just donated the smallest incentive ($2). Hbomber has over 5600 patreons, but it's per video, so he likely makes well over 10k every time he releases one (which admittedly is much lower than one per month at his current level). Shaun has 3100 patreons and also a lower smallest incentive of $1, which probably puts him a good bit under 10k a month.
