stuff like "Well you call them the scum of the earth, why wouldnt they hate you"

Why are parts of the left like this? Seemingly caring more about courting the psychopath incel who wants a white ethnostate rather than stand in solidarity and antiracism with POC?

i always get disgusted and disillusioned when i come upon it

Tailism. Not even once.

people like amber say shit like this because imo they're desperate to distance themselves from the fascist's made stereotype of left wing people, where we're all overly sensitive, "PC", whatever bullshit you normally hear. just like when someone from a minority group agrees with white supremacists in hopes that they'll be deemed "one of the good ones". i don't know why certain people are just dying to be called "one of the good ones" by the literal worst people on earth. these people ARE the scum of the earth, going around spreading hate, disinformation, cultural and social rot.

That seems to be at the root of it, huh? The liberal idea that by not being like what the fascists say you are, you might get them to listen to you. Maybe a deep desire to avoid existential conflict, or rather to avoid acknowledging it for what it is: inescapable. She seems like she still believes on some level that...I don't know. That this can continue somehow, that fences can be mended this late in the game? That the scope of her focus hasn't been rendered qaint by how much worse and horrifying everything has gotten in the last few years?

She literally hates friendless online Bernie leftists more than she hates reactionaries. I've also heard her speak longlingly about rightoids, but I can specifically remember like 4 different instances of her randomly getting worked up over "leftists with no friends" like a weird fixation. Like if you're a lonely loser leftist, she despises you, but if you just turn 4chan alt right, she suddenly sympathizes with your plight.

I remember when I finally “got” Amb3r. She was talking about Kim Klassic (a young conservative woman) and she was practically writing a love letter to her. It was weird. I then thought back to whenever she would talk about a reactionary, and she would ALWAYS make some excuse for them or find something positive to say about them. She always makes excuses for reactionaries. I stopped listening after that.

Amber is the closest thing we have to a leftist grifter since she built her entire career on saying stupid shit in order to get people angry

I've never been able to satisfactorily sum up what is is exactly that kept me from fully liking her, can't find the right word or phrase to encompass her specific blend of brainworms

Some of the people here have such a way with words that listening to them feels as clear and logical as looking at a photo, and I appreciate those people for helping me tease out the contours of my problem with her.

Well, I asked the other day what the deal was with her and why there's so much hate... This pretty well covers it.

I assume this one

the modern chapo pod is alright, I don't listen to it often but they tend to have decent takes. This is nothing like the pod

I managed to watch this for 49 seconds before I tapped out. Why does this grown ass adult woman act like a petulant teenager

I met Amber at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told her how cool it was to meet her in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother her and ask him for photos or anything. She said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but she kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing her hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard her chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw her trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “M'am, you need to pay for those first.” At first she kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, she stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, she kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
