I'm old enough to remember when her main schtick was deliberately offending trans people with hot takes. I see she's moved onto 'tankies' now 🤷
honestly shitting on trans people and 'tankies' are her greatest hits, she always plays them again
Unfortunately given that trans people are essentially forced by their own social interests into tankiedom that just means she is annoying more people.
Why do these idiots say things like this? Like its supposed to make em look like a wise sage. And its always done callously with non whites
I'm sure by her standards 9/11 is small fries but she and her lib audience won't be callous towards that will they?
Enough with the fucking algorithm engaging hot takes. They're always brain dead nonsense
yeah i think people like this think they look wise. it gives edgy contrarian middle school vibes. "yeah... all those people were killed.. but did you know... lots of people get killed or die?? "
Can't wait for her "why I left the left" video.
She's basically already done it with envy. She was a fascist before transition, now she's a deeply annoying left liberal of the sort I thought died out in 2007.
Which is an improvement but not enough. I think she was genuinely shocked that her attempted anti left satire with Abby the anarchist catgirl backfired because Abby was obviously correct and her mediation was obviously liberal equivocation
Abby is more sympathetic, but at least her depiction in the video about voting made her and Natalie look extremely stupid because it created a false dichotomy between "vote dem" and "don't vote for anyone out of protest bc revolution i guess?" with no notion of starting an independent electoral movement to compliment whatever sort of revolutionary movement you're interested in pursuing.
Libs getting shocked that someone spending a disproportionate amount of time on the left while the right is tearing your country's asshole apart leaves the left
Time to repost my genocide trivialization explainer
Genocide trivialization is a common refrain of fascist discourse, the point of course is to normalize mass slaughter and paint it as an unavoidable feature of human society, while erasing the sociopolitical uniqueness of every genocide....."it happens all the time its not a big deal, and if it happens again big whoop survival of the fittest"
The a-historical insistence that EVERY "civilization" has committed genocide is another tactic of fascist rhetoric. That attempts to obscure the fact that it's actaully STATES with a specific class character and political project that committ genocide, while merging the idea of states and civilization as being coterminous with each other and that they can't be distinguished...... "we're all guilty thru out time and space so it would be hypocritical and traitorious to oppose genocide committed by one's own civilization"
That form of rhetoric also tries to simultaneously collapse the concept of continuity.... "it happened so long ago get over it" while also incoherently extending historical continuity past its breaking point..... "oh so you condemn the genocide of native Americans, well what about the genocide carried out by the Mongols hmmm"
Basically fascists are ghouls and historically illiterate freaks
So much vindication for the 'Never liked Contrapoints Gang'
KKKontrapoints
I still remember when she shamed people for not wanting to vote for her fucking decrepit weird-around-kids candidate Joe Biden. The man who won regardless and then allowed "israel" to carry out a genocide and felt so good about it he gave them the means to do it.
Looks like the "tankies" were right lmao
She has sucked for at least 5 years, arguably more - 'breadtube' (literally all of the channels that got popular off that suck, but contrapoints especially) and its consequences. she has been muted for quite a while for me but the other day when she added a bunch of flags to her display name "as a joke!!" she got the unfollow and I don't even really use twitter like that anymore but just got so annoyed lmao
Twitter won’t let me get rid of the flags because they have to reverify me everytime I change my name. It was just a joke about being a Twitter lib I didn’t know WW3 was about to happen I’m sorry 😭😭😭

This is why they shouldn’t really be called “tankies” imo. “Tankie” originally referred to an apologist for Soviet aggression. These people are campists—they view the US/Western powers as uniquely evil and support any opposition power, even if a far-right oligarchy.
GIRL YOU ARE A TWITTER LIB AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. Your lasting mark on online culture in general is that annoying ass " they don't want power they want to critique it" image and the overuse of bisexual lighting & meaningless costume changes in what are supposed to be video essays!!!
You make $50k/month on Patreon to post a 1-2 hour video a year!! The last 3 videos you've put out in the last 3 years have been: a 2 hour video that basically boils down to 'what are conspiracies and how do people fall for them' with some nice set design and costume changes & then your like 4th video about JK Rowling and a video about Twilight. You are Lindsay Ellis core - stop posting about politics like your opinion is worth something!!!
Vindicated in my belief that anyone who accused someone else of being a campist should be ignored.

I might be a "campist", that could be because I live on the receiving end of the big gun that the US and the Western Powers are always pointing at us and just about anything that erodes US power gives me some breathing room. However, I am not a liberal, and she is, and there is NO coming back from that.
I'd rather be a "campist" than a fucking spineless liberal with fascistic fantasies.

Well yes, inviting Hillary & Chelsea Clinton into your home (that you bought with your 'breadtube' money) to film an episode of Hillary's TV series is basically the final stage of neoliberalism
she is a rich settler of the artisan class with petit-bourgeois aspirations, of course her politics are terrible
settler? in the way all whites in america are, or did she move to some other country?
not just whites and not just am*rica but yes
A guilty Treatlerite who managed to turn “not making videos” into a career: is there anything more American?
Just farming engagement for her yearly 3+ hour video.
A year ago the NIH estimated that 65k people had been killed, almost double the 37k estimated by the Gaza ministry of health at the time, a difference caused by the GMOH only counting identifiable bodies and not being able to track missing persons. Since then, the GMOH's ability to count deaths has only gotten worse and there's been a famine - it wouldn't surprise me if the total death count by this point surpassed 100k.
100k is probably a gross undercount.
Another one of her greatest hits:
God she ended up being so disappointing
tofu is the shit
