2 years out from a “why I left the left” video.

[-] NuraShiny@hexbear.net 54 points 7 months ago

Generous timeframe, actually.

[-] CleverOleg@hexbear.net 20 points 7 months ago

I see him going the Paul Cockshott route. Move towards left communism economically and then TERFy opinions.

His brain is so rotted by arguing about internet drama that now all people who claim to be disadvantaged in any way are just attention seekers to him.

[-] Beaver@hexbear.net 41 points 7 months ago

He kinda reminds me of Cenk Uygur in that way. I'm sure they're both kind of unpleasant and argumentative people IRL as well, but the difference is that people IRL won't just willingly engage with your bullshit constantly, and so there's a natural cutoff. But on the internet, there are infinite idiots to argue with endlessly until your brain is fried.

[-] Xiisadaddy@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 7 months ago

Ive actually met Cenk Uygur. He is a lot less confident in person. Like on his videos he tends to talk loudly and has this big personality but in person not so much. I feel like a lot of internet people are like that. In person theyre all shy and soft spoken lol. Just used to screaming at a camera.

he's not even correctly understanding what he's trying to talk about even a little: OCD about being a pedo is a disordered worry about becoming one, not actually being one. he literally only knows how to talk about people that are dead or in the process of dying; the living are worthy of ridicule for not currently being dug into a trench fighting the us government "maoistly" or whatever

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 37 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

He is the living embodiment of the I live in an overturned T34 copypasta, and also the leader of the cult from the trapped in a maoist cult copypasta.

this guy is gonna be a full on Rowling style Transphobe this time next week because hes gonna get into twitter spats with trans people and then triple down like he usually does

Hmm, could it be that the commodification of all medicine has created a situation where only those with money can afford to be diagnosed and treated, while the vast majority suffer in silence?

Nah, the DSM must just be bourgeois hysterics and attention seeking

Like dude at this point just say that being gay is bourgeois decadence and come out as a nazbol, because that's where this is going.

[-] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 23 points 7 months ago

Considering how many good critiques there are of psychological illnesses you really have to put your whole ass into it to land on the equivalent of one glass of wine makes you live longer

[-] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 48 points 7 months ago

He also recently released the video with the clickbait thumbnail "don't join a union"

While I can imagine he makes some good points about the shittiness of Western and especially American unions, you should still join a union even if it is shitty.

My union experience was shitty in many ways and my union fucking sucked. We won marginal gains in a 6 week strike, with union leadership lying (at best misleading) about the tentative agreement. Then those in leadership roles got to flex that they won such a successful huge strike.

But it was also a huge radicalizing experience and started me into a path of left wing politics. This was when i first learned about and felt class solidarity.

It also made me fucking hate Democrats, because at the same time as we were striking was when Biden ratfucked the railroad unions. And our shitty TA was mediated by the establishment Democrat mayor of San Diego.

I think BadEmpanada is very smart and right about most things. He has made some great video essays. I just don't think he has good tactics for growing a left wing movement, and is blinded by doing what gets the most views. Or, he legitimately holds these strange ultra left ideas and just wants us all to wait out the death of American empire.

[-] egg1918@hexbear.net 50 points 7 months ago

He said don't join a union because that union will support imperialist policies abroad.

It's like he was just introduced to the concept of no ethical consumption under capitalism, but only for unions. Very strange crash out

You'd think he'd be familiar with compulsions, like his compulsion to post the worst takes imaginable on subjects he knows nothing about.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 41 points 7 months ago

Guess I must be "upper middle class" since I have it, my mom had it too and she grew up poor, matter of fact I probably inherited it from her.

[-] BeanisBrain@hexbear.net 52 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

"Could it be that wealthier people have better access to mental health services and communications platforms and therefore are the sufferers we're most likely to hear from? No, it's the psychiatric community that is wrong."

[-] ImSoOCD@hexbear.net 40 points 7 months ago

Fuck this guy in particular, but also this is a big reason why the OCD community is so sparse online. Talking openly about your themes generally makes people assign desires and intentions to you that just make things worse.

Now he both looks and sounds like Haz.

[-] SuperNovaCouchGuy2@hexbear.net 22 points 7 months ago

In the most recent video about unions he used Haz's fascist cult as "evidence a 3rd party is viable in the USA" because it has 10k paypigs I mean members, without even mentioning the fascist or culty elements of the ACP. Dumb to use a fascist party as an example of how a 3rd party can be a viable opposition to the status quo that people want to join in the imperial core.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 21 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Why would he use ACP over PSL when PSL are larger and anyone paying attention can see that large numbers of protests are being driven by their organising hidden by front orgs?

If Empanada was involved with organising he'd be able to see which org is the authentically impactful one. It's obvious if you've actually been involved in anything.

Obviously he has not though, or else he wouldn't have made "don't join a union".

[-] BeanisBrain@hexbear.net 18 points 7 months ago

PSL doesn't really use front orgs much. What often happens is that they end up gaining de facto ownership of existing orgs because they always show up and always put in work.

It's past his expiration date. Unfit for consumption.

insert x mental illness here that isn't affluenza is just made up by upper middle class westerners to excuse y

Extreme levels of cope that the actual bourgeois use to push for austerity and excuse labor exploitation the world over. There are even people who believe that depression is a 1st world problem (they don't know about 3rd world countries suicide rates).

recent transphobia

Could we get the evidence of this for archival reasons?

[-] BeanisBrain@hexbear.net 21 points 7 months ago

There was a thread about it a few days ago. He's deleted the tweet since then, but he was too late. It's everywhere now.

insert x mental illness here that isn't affluenza is just made up by upper middle class westerners to excuse y

It's also such a baby-brained way of looking at it. Poor people and people of color, the ones with significantly reduced access to Healthcare and who are largely distrustful of medical professionals because their "care" is often abusive, have lower rates of certwin mental illnesses than white people, that's true.

This somehow confirms that mental illness is a "white person" thing, and not that these people are rawdogging life while enduring mental illness on top of the trauma of living in a capitalist, white supremacist society.

He has gotten so washed up in so little time. Like, I firmly support his disdain for American vets, but come on, you didn't need to divulge all these other shit takes man

[-] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 29 points 7 months ago

He was always about the drama, not about standing for anything, this was an inevitability of his attention seeking behaviour.
