Communist Youtuber Caleb Maupin's war with BreadTube started when he published a book titled
BreadTube Serves Imperialism in which he accused BreadTube of being a CIA "counter-gang". A "counter-gang" is when the CIA sets up their own watered down Communist group to counter whatever grassroot Communism exists to render it uneffective. As you can imagine, the BreadTubers, who LARP at being anarchist revolutionaries, weren't very happy of being associated with the CIA by Caleb. However, Caleb's views on BreadTube serving the mainstream were very consistent with other views he has expressed about far left groups that serve mainstream interests. For example, in this Livestream Caleb Maupin explained the role of Antifa in serving the mainstream Democrats while appearing distinct
Besides accusing BreadTube of being a CIA "counter-gang", Caleb Maupin would also refer to them as "The Synthetic Left", in reference to the Acid Left/Acid Communism of Ben Burgis. Maupin published a video on his channel titled
How The CIA Created Synthetic Leftism, and that included excerpts from an interview with the late Irving Kristol where he talks about his involvement with the transatlantic British-US magazine
Encounter:
The Encounter was eventually exposed as a CIA funded mouthpiece, and the parallels to BreadTube were indeed.
In his book Caleb Maupin also claimed that
Steven Hassan is advising BreadTubers regarding what to put into their scripts and which topics to talk about. Maupin claimed that an undisclosed source contacted him in private to pass along this information about Hassan secretly advising BreadTube.
When former Youtuber and former Nyk-fangirl Kelly Zahos made her video about how she broke with BreadTube, she too claimed to have been contacted by an undisclosed source who supposedly showed her that NGOs were offering money to BreadTubers to get them to talk about certain topics that the NGOs want to see promoted on Youtube.
I find Kelly Zahos' narrative of "NGOs are offering money to Youtubers to get them to talk about topics", even despite having no hard evidence for this, I find this immensely more convincing than the idea that Steven Hassan has the ear of all the big Youtubers. I personally find the idea of Nyk being a Democrat mouthpiece - due to his very public and overt association to the Dems - immensely more convincing that the idea that Hassan is telling Nyk what to say.
When Maupin proceeds to define fascism the Marxist way as opposed to the BreadTube way, he forgets that Nyk and the gang's definition of fascism isn't just about aesthetics, it's also about BLM-CRT. Nyk's definition of fascism isn't just about the OK hand sign and Pepe memes, it's also about racial purity and the 11 words. Nyk, as a white American who likes black cultural expression and only knows black lawyers and black campaign managers like Brianna Gray and PoC like Ocasio-Ortez, Nyk believes that white people become fascists not "to stabilize the capitalist economy through violence and repression", but more simply and crudely because they sincerely viscerally hate black people and other PoC, and perceive them as a threat to their racial purity and white homogeny. Nyk has an American interpretation of fascism, which is racial and aesthetic instead of class-based. You could even say that Nyk is more cynical or realistic than Maupin in that he believes that blacks cannot unite with whites on the basis of class because Nyk, growing up in Virginia, knows that whites are viscerally disgusted by black people at a very deep subconscious level, which is what CRT teaches: that racism is the Original Sin, ie whites are always and already racist, they can't help being racist because it's a gut feeling for them, and unless they undergo extensive and continuous anti-racist training, whites will never overcome their subconscious and ever-present racism with will always get in the way of their relationships with blacks.
The biggest BreadTubers are two British white men and one American white man pretending to be a woman. One of the British white men now pretends to be a woman as well. The two British men denounce their home country of the UK for being backass backwards with Brexit and instead promote American far-left ideas such as BLM, intersectionalism, SJW TRA.
I eventually read an article about Encounter which was about British intellectuals, who were sincerely pro-American after the 2nd WW and were sincere in viewing the Soviet Union as a threat, ending up feeling duped and misled by their American counterparts, as many of the British authors had written for Encounter having no idea it was secretly funded by the CIA through a fake foundation. The US-UK angle of BreadTube is usually ignored, but I think it's very telling that the more prominent figures of BreadTube are British Youtubers promoting American far-left ideas. Do you see Vaush, Nyk or Destiny ever promoting British thought in the US? No, instead we get Nyk and his supposed rival Abigail jointly going to war against TERFlandia. If we look at BreadTube through the historical lens of Encounter being used to foster British-American transatlantic relationships, it really does seem like BreadTube is meant to be more of an ideological attack on the UK to punish them over Brexit.
Caleb Maupin's book on BreadTube was very well received by his fellow Communists:
Comrade Skeptomai @LeninBol
Read @calebmaupin's book Breadtube Serves Imperialism! It's not only a scathing critique of Breadtube, but also a critique of much of the western left that has been coopted and domesticated into anti-communists by imperialists (e.g. CIA) as weapons against Marxists!!!
They basically believed that BreadTube are either witting or unwitting useful idiots of the CIA:
You would be a fool to think that the CIA and FBI are not funding covert activities to dismantle and neuter the Left. You'd be an even bigger dope to think that such activities didn't involve BreadTube figures, whether are aware of it or not. Read @calebmaupin's book!
"Whether they're aware of it or not" means that they think BreadTube are useful idiots/controlled opposition to the Real Leftists.
Caleb did many interviews about the book with his fellow communists and assorted other socialist-leaning Youtube channels:
Here's another interview with Caleb Maupin complaining about BreadTube:
"I am shocked at how horrifying liberal these people are."
A comment from someone who agreed with Caleb Maupin:
As much as Breadtube lawds itself for merely existing, I couldn't show Contrapoints, Philosophytube, Thoughtslime, Creationistcat or even Hbomberguy to any working people of any race, gender or sexuality, they come across as deranged deluded clowns, mean spirited, humourless (even Ken Ham has a better sense of humour than these Puritans ffs) and self righteous ones at that.
Going after low hanging fruit like the Quatering, Ben Shapiro, The Golden One, Stephen Crowder et al has really given them too much unwarranted self importance, megalomania and narcissism unbound.
They don't want to admit but just because they're a circus who can draw in a small crowd looking for validation in a sea of right wing youtube garbage, it doesn't mean that they're not harming the left, if they were on TV for the public to see, we'd have an even more reactionary society.
Some Breadtube idiot fanboy called Bad Empanada did a Livestream reading excerpts from Communist Caleb Maupin's book on BreadTube. Here is the part of the book on Vaush:
With regards to the part about Vaush supposedly having handlers and advisors wouldn't surprise me given that these people are dumb as rocks, we already know who's been writing Nyk's scripts.
Here is the part where he addresses the section of Caleb Maupin's new book where Caleb describes Nyk's channel:
Just from the fact that Maupin won't give his readers Nyk's full name - it's Natalie Wynn Parrott, with Parrott being Nyk's real surname, the "Wynn" part of Nyk's trannie name is not a second surname, it's a fake middle-name that Nyk adopted referencing his fetishism of Nordic mythology (Nyk said that he was a Morrowind fan growing up and that he at one point learned the runic alphabet); as others pointed out in this thread "Wynn" is the runic symbol for good luck, perhaps an intentional submission on Nyk's part that he trooned out for the sake of fame and fortune.
As part of his evidence that ContraPoints is bad he says that
"The Southern Poverty Law Center which equates black nationalism with Natsees and has pushed the narrative that the anti-war leftists are red-brown crypto-fascists, has approvingly cited Natalie Wynn and her reports and praised her efforts. So if the SPLC likes you, that makes you bad, fam. I guess. Blah blah blah, her content is high-quality, he says, But she is not particularly loved. She is attacked viciously by her Breadtube community.
Quoting from the book: "ContraPoints generally puts forth the view that the US government has been infiltrated by a secret Natsee conspiracy and that the role of leftists is to protect the establishment by rooting out this conspiracy.", Excuse me? Can anyone tell me what... can anyone please explain? When did that happen?
Let's address this deflection too:
"When has ContraPoints or Hbomberguy ever talked about fucking China?"
Actually, Nyk regularly talked about China, like on his earlier/2017 Livestreams. Back then Nyk told the story of his brother who had visited China and had given Nyk, as a souvenir gift, a framed portrait of Mao, that a Chinese family at a restaurant had given the brother after he told them he was interested in it. Nyk explained that the framed picture of Anita Sarkeesian he used in his 2016 videos about GamerGate was actually Sarkeesian's picture superimposed onto Mao's framed portrait. So yes, Nyk absolutely has brought up China and communism in his earlier Livestreams. I don't know if he still brings it up because I longer watch those streams (as they are between 4 to 7 hours), but to deny that this (Communism and China) was an early ContraPoints topic is ridiculous. Bad Emanada clearly has no fucking clue what the hell he's on about.
BreadTubers also accused Caleb Maupin for not providing a bibliography in his book, which is funny that they would criticize him for this when Nyk has pilfered other people's writings repeatedly and has never given a single source, ever:
When people lie so blatantly, claiming I don't support Chelsea Manning or that I don't have citations in a book with a huge bibliography and there's a citation on the first page... you cannot engage them.
They are just vile dishonest scum.
Let me ask, do others not notice this?
