Vaush is about as bad as Carl, flat out.
While he’s probably more intelligent than Carl (which says virtually nothing), he falls into similiar instances of ideological inconsistency, general low information activism, tactical contrarianism, and ego trips.
But probably most importantly, sheer fucking delusion.
Breadtube tried to organize a strike on youtube to protest some new TOS. This is a stupid idea and Vaush is right to criticize it, however his reasoning is laughable.
He’s arguing that right wingers are afraid of getting deplatformed becuase they think the left is going to take over the culture war. Towards the end he starts talking about how we are on the verge of an apocalypse and the left needs to shill themselves into making activism a career. Essentially he wants the left to have their own Crowders, and Sargons.
No Vaush, the right does not care about Breadtube or Lefttube. Certain creators do gain their interest but its hardly a genuine concern.
And your whole schtick about how you’re engaging in activism? Thats basically the same stupid shit Carl pushed. He’s many times bigger than you and has done jack shit in any real terms. All he fucking has to show for it is some nepotism with Conservative Inc and a hugbox made up of morons like Vee and Adam Friended.
So, if we’re really on the verge of an apocalypse/fascist uprising then nothing you’re doing on youtube will mean anything. You simply do not have enough time you idiot.
It just strikes me as so fucking out of touch with reality. The most you could do is pull some chuds to your side but even then honestly, its like using eye drops to put out an inferno at least by your characterization.
And as a last point, like Carl, I’m not even sure you are what you claim to be. On the one hand I hear you say shit along the lines of “Eat the rich!” but then default to neolib talking about immigration. Or how conservatives are fucking evil but by the way Russia is a threat and we should join the TPP because China is an economic threat. Lets not even bring up all the other neocon shit you’re spouted “Bomb Mexico”, “Invade South America to make them go green”. And now we have you advocating for people to become careerists in their activism and they should whore themselves out.
Your positions aren’t honestly that radical either arguably. Sure you’re an anarchist but you seem to always argue from a statist position. You argue for social safety nets like a soc dem, but in your ideal society you still advocate for markets. Which you know is not something most fucking rad leftists would be
enthusiastic about. The most radical I’ve seen from you is the political violence angle but fuck is
that even a rad position anymore? How many people in the mainstream left get excited over milkshakes and Spencer getting punced? The response to that was overwhelmingly positive from the left, at least looking at social media. Destiny straight up said its justifiable for immigrants to kill politicians and voters and almost nothing happened to him for it.
Now I know, Vaush, you read this fucking thread and you’ll probably look at the last sections and say something like,“What a dumbfuck, doesn’t he know my positions are more nuanced than that!”
But the thing is, why should I believe you? Its fucking weird to see a self-avowed rad leftist make these points in earnest. Regardless of justification, just something about all this makes the bullshit detector go off.
