I don't know how to archive so i'll leave that upto anyone who cares enough. I also don't know who to show the images without screenshooting and editing in paint.

The reddit user with 20k karma named tentafill, who frequents r/antiwork and several videogame subreddits, squawking about misinforming the "lumpenproles" with "seemingly truthful context" feels like a beautiful microcosm of Breadtube as a whole.
 
From my experience, that would be an emphatic, "Fuck, no!" Some of the prominent personalities associated with BreadTube might be aware of Fascism's distinguishing features or at least quote Umberto Eco as an authority to wow their audience, but none of the followers know jackshit. That might've changed, but I doubt it.
Even Umberto Eco barely knew what he was talking about, and he lived through Fascism.
He deleted the tweet lol. Maybe people were starting to ask what kind of harassment he was directing at women to get banned...
 
My favorite thing about these idiots is they don't actually know what they're talking about when it comes to fascism
First of all fascism reject the concept of right and left labels
Fascist consider themselves. Position is which is a combination of left and right
The economic policy is corporatism which these people confuse with corporatism which is something totally different
Fascists believe the state and the people are one entity and that Capital should serve the state not the other way around

They also misuse the term reactionary a reactionary is not a fascist
Reactionaries reject the entire concept of the Enlightenment and almost all of them are absolutist monarchist

These people do not know how political terms work in slightest

TL DR these people failed introduction to political science
 
Even Umberto Eco barely knew what he was talking about, and he lived through Fascism.
Because it's on the same kind of low-level "I'm just going to pathologize my opposition's supporters and not even attempt to disprove their points" analysis that's been done to death about any political position on the planet and as such is forgettable.
 
I also forget, does Breadtube just want classic Socialism, a far more welfare focused state, or are they the retards that believe in both a generous welfare state along with UBI?
Most of Breadtube is made up of Anarcho-Communists, so they probably envision a Bernie/Yang victory as the first step in "smashing capitalism" where soon enough the workers of the world will all just somehow be allowed to run the industries together (Basically some form of Socialism) and after some vague armed revolution they believe they'll take part in, a communist collective 'stateless' paradise will arise.

Tl;DR: Something that will never happen in their lifetime

Looks like theyre currently seething at the fact that the new Call of Duy Trailer featured Yuri Bezmenov. Who could've ever guessed that a game about the Cold War would be anti-commie. Screenshot countesy of /v/.

I'm kind of confused on why they want more state power when it comes to things like guns and such if they're primarily anarchists. I get that their ideology has to do with communities essentially providing each other free welfare, but how does increasing state power bring us closer to that anarchic utopia? It would make more sense for them to be pro-gun like right-wing libertarians are. But then again, supposedly under their system there would be no need for police and presumably any other form of violence to keep people in line.

Because I guess their thinking is that if state power is in the hands of the 'right' people everything will just work out. Because their primary goal is still a "stateless society" it's likely just a temporary thing to them.

They don't believe in anything that makes sense, because they didn't think themselves into this ideology in the first place.
 
And he brought that up because of the shit TLOU 2 got. Sure he could say it traces back to GamerGate but I'm willing to bet that even without GamerGate, there's still gonna be threats because a voice actor getting death threats ain't new. Just ask the guy that played Walter Peck from Ghost Busters or the reporter from Die Hard.
Or Jack Thompson. He got death threats yet that didn't stop people from criticising him in the harshest manner possible, but when Miss Anita supposedly got death threats for saying similar things, she pretty much becomes a sacred cow.

There's a reason why Anita became a sacred cow while Jack Thompson didn't. Aside from the fact that most people view a younger woman getting death threats as more disturbing than a middle-aged man from Florida getting them, there's the fact that Anita was smart enough to know the old Religious Right completely lost the culture war years before she began her grift.

Being a fundie was out and being a progressive liberal was in back in the early 2010's. Anita was in the age group who knew this better than anyone and knew that if she cloaked her arguments in left-wing feminism as opposed to morally conservative Christianity, the Boomers and Gen X'ers in the gaming industry and media would more likely believe it and a lot of them seemed to be convinced that left-wing moral guardians didn't even exist since the traditionalists had been the avatars of moral authoritarianism for so damn long.

The Last of Us Part II's controversy and failure is her last hurrah and I'm pretty sure she's looking for the next grift since she's only going to be more irrelevant and powerless from here on out.

I'd say the Call of Duty: Cold War trailer with Yuri Bezmenov is one of those things that will most likely be remembered as a bellweather of the growing backlash against the Woke Left given how mainstream that franchise is. Anita probably knows this too, especially when you combine this with the fact she was already fading from the spotlight and had been told to fuck off by an AAA studio before in 2019 with Cyberpunk 2077.

I'm wondering what her next grift will be. Depending on what she decides to target next, I think it could be a lot harder for her to try to move onto greener pastures. She's become too much of an icon of the Woke Left, even if she lost most of her relevance within those circles she also was one of those figures who made it mainstream and was a media darling for a while because of it.

After Last of Us Part II, she's probably persona non grata in the video game industry and she's a lot less likely to break into the tabletop gaming industry unless the zealots at Onyx Path or Evil Hat take her in. Even Wizards of the Coast is less likely to have the baggage she brings associated with the D&D or MTG brands since they're way too profitable and Hasbro would likely veto it if they see how much money she'd waste as a consultant.

WOTC may be super-woke now but they're also late to the party and are more likely to drop it like a rock if it hurts sales too much for Hasbro's comfort and RPG.net continues its decline as an online community.

WotC also privately employs a lot of really unwoke people because they design good games. RPGPundit was a consultant on the rules for D&D 5th Edition.
 
I'm starting to see Breadtubers getting more desperate for drama and slapfights now that there's no Bernie/Yang victory to gloat over their adversaries. Shaun, Hbomb and Jack Saint seem to be the most desperate given the amount of terrible takes and responses to random people from just those 3 that I've seen, not to mention recently temporarily driving a comic artist off of twitter over essentially nothing, other than to appease their fanbase of wannabe-anarchists.

True, but that was in 2013-2014 and RPG.net gave WOTC hell over it. They've gotten woker in the last year or two, but I think they might be late to the party if the tide really is starting to turn

Most likely won't happen ever. Endeavor did a video about Wall-E talking about the end of history. He stated in the movie it was capitalism that made the post scarcity, futuristic luxery society communism can only dream of. Of course it turned everyone into blobs who just consume food and pleasure.

I think Ancoms, and most "Communists" in general imagine their perfect world would turn into some kind of Star Trek/Star Wars society, where no money, greed, or material worth will exist because communism will just somehow remove people's need/lust for greed and consumption, which of course exposes it's biggest problem: understanding human nature.
