Philosophy Tube just dropped a new vid, this time on Confucius:

And I swear the announcement that he's trooning out is coming any day now:

Christ, his ignorance of Chinese history is mind numbing. It's incredibly clear he just did some barebones research, and then decided to view everything through his usual lenses. His tangent on the "ignorant british conquerors" seeking to bring religious salvation to the Chinese is just blatantly false.
Yes Christianity was heavily promoted in China as trade with Europe increased, but that process was mostly spearheaded by independent missionary forces like the Jesuits and Presbyterians. Groups that were in fact mistrusted by the nobility of northern Europe. Jesuits being spies of the papacy, and Presbyterians being some hogwash the Scots embraced when they decided they were done being used by the French Catholics to try and dunk on the English.

In fact, the British allied themselves with the Qing government against the Christians during the Taiping Rebellion. I don't get how you can look at interaction between the western powers and China and get the idea that the European states were looking to shove bibels down the throat of every Chinaman

It can’t just be my imagination at this point, he looks downright feminine in this vid

Yeah you can tell that he has never played EU4, everyone knows that you can only set up trade companies in Asia, not colonies so you can't convert the local religions to your state religion.
On a more serious note, that's a thing that he shares with Contrapoints, the historical ignorance, if I remember right Contra made a video talking about western civilization and slavery and it was filled to the brim with errors, misconceptions and outright lies. Who know this might be another episode of Ollie emulating his boyfriend.
 
What exactly do these bourgeois parasites and consoomers have to tell workers about pretty much fucking anything? They have no idea what that world is like, not even in the past.
What's even worse is that according to his former roommate Jen he doesn't even do research for his own videos and has other people do the legwork for him, while he reaps the rewards for it by being perceived as a big-brained breadtuber and getting those paypigton bux just because he reads out the scripts for the videos out loud and then uploads them to his channel.

This is how all socialists and commies are. They speak like they know the working class but the second actual working class people speak up they spit in their faces and call them evil white trash bigots.
 
Does anyone else feel like Youtube is pimping the big Breadtubers now more than ever? Vaush and Thought Slime seem to be popping up constantly at the top of my page, even though I avoid both their videos like the plague, and have at most watched a couple of videos about Vaush from sources that are less than complimentary.

If this is in the spirit of Halloween, well done. Thought Slime the neckbeard soyboy and his too-large-for-his-already-fat-face mouth are indeed creepy to look at. As for Vaush the horse molester and CP defender, he's creepy for different reasons.

not sure about that tbqh. the communists i met irl were alright people with jobs, or at least they made it look like they had jobs. most of the online 15 year olds who never picked up Wage Labour and Capital are fuckin trash though.

Either you watch content similar to it or it's just because breadtube's strategy has been to insert their political interpretation and view into otherwise apolitical but intriguing/controversial videos.

Essentially they got their own rabbit hole of utilizing of optics ranging from presenting themselves as a high-brow intellectual to appeal to the "internet outcasts" attitude by saying those that don't get socialism are the """normies""" and how they appear publically is a farce to lure them in.

Some examples:
  • Philosophy tube's entire career
  • Xanderhal / Vaush
You can see this slowly unveiling themselves in this video for instance:

Compare that to the OG socialist/communist larper that I can think of: Jason Unruhe

A lot more in your face.

it is a farce yeah. thing is though that im pretty sure most political commentators do this anyway cuz grift lol. streamers, by virtue of the medium, can just kind of say a bunch of platitudes without ever being challenged on stream.
 
Wow maybe a draconian A.I algorithom that has complete control over Monotzation,Strikes, and Deletion is a bad idea. I cant belive these people dont understand that the Youtube algorithom is not some magic A.I Brain that understand the deffrence between anything besides just that "anything with covid in the video = Mega Bad"
 
He needs to double check if he didn't say "America deserved 9/11" accidentally. Again.

In other news Gutian changed his pfp to one where he somehow manages to look even less feminine than on previous one:

And he has some very* thought out takes:

(The implication here is that PewDiePie becomes nazi, in case someone isn't up on BreadTube lore)

yeah, he did say america deserved 9/11. i kinda understand what he meant though. specifically cause of american policy in the middle east and shit. to be fair, it wasn't exactly like america wasn't fucking around over there for oil, but if you say 'america deserved 9/11' its sounds to people like you're saying the people in the twin towers and their associates deserved it. so yeah it was pretty stupid thing to say.

Other people might have meant something like America's foreign policy had components that vastly increased the likelihood of a 9/11 and/or the people who did it, however heinous their actual actions, were acting on legitimate grievances. But considering who we're talking about he really did mean every single person who died there from the executives to the guy delivering pizza deserved it, he hoped they died screaming as they burned, and their families deserve to suffer, too.

This isn't unique to morons like this, it is the kind of thing academics like the disgraced Ward Churchill said as well, describing everyone killed as "little Eichmanns" no matter who they were or why they were there that day.
