watch her stupid ass cry “i said UNFORTUNATELY” when people give her shit for this like that makes it better
also “60,000”. genocide denial. nobody actually believe israel has only killed 60,000 of these people
Another one of her greatest hits:
God she ended up being so disappointing
This is borderline just racism. Tofu is an incredible and versatile food. Unless you're white and dumb, apparently
what??????
"tofu takes the flavour of seasonings, as does meat. and tofu is good for the environment and animals. therefore, not eating meat is stupid"
i literally cannot understand this, meat tastes like ass if it's unseasoned
meat tastes like ass
This is...bad?
tofu fucking slaps. its so versatile. that is quite literally just some cracker bullshit lmfao. i havent eaten meat in years and i havent looked back. she probably doesnt view “it takes on the flavor of its seasonings” cause white people think salt and pepper are the only ones that exist
People eat tofu. And not just as a meat replacement lol truly peak whitey
God she is such a lame-o white bread even in food tastes. Also, I wonder if white people just eat tofu as it is or something because I've had loads of tofu dishes and they weren't lacking tastes.
A take so white it saps the melanin from your body.
I hate that this artist is a chud, so many hilarious panels ruined by the idea that they are meant to be literal
The one where a mother feeds Biden her baby and he unhinges his jaw like a snake is fucking hilarious
this is the some of the most offensive shit I’ve ever seen and reeks of someone who only eats hamburgers, pizza, and chicken nuggets. Any kind of mental gymnastics to justify murder, apparently
Agedashi with beer?
Jiao yan tofu?
Sichuan braised tofu?
Pressed/dried tofu (Dòufu gān/豆腐干)?
tofu skin, which is generally not sold outside of Asian grocery stores in America, and is a whole different thing (the skin that forms on the soybean milk while forming tofu) and is fucking awesome. If you like the whole “freeze/thaw/press” extra firm tofu for meaty texture I highly recommend you seek this out. A chewy but tender texture that is very meaty and imo is widely overlooked by American vegetarians/vegans. Soy curls are somewhat similar texturally though soy curls are closer to TVP in how they’re made
Maybe she's only had the rubbery shit stored in water. If she's eaten restaurant tofu then no excuse, but it took me awhile to learn to freeze, press, and marinate tofu to get itgood in my opinion.

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
Killing 60,000 people is probably the worst atrocity OF THE LAST TWO YEARS
Wow, with this kind of phrasing CNN and the BBC are going to have a run for their money!
With what Israel has been doing to the people of Gaza, has there been a comparable scenario going back even twenty years? The people of Gaza have been forbidden food, water and basic medical supplies; people are dying horrific deaths, and you think it's the worst atrocity of the last TWO years? One of Hamas' former leaders, Yahya Sinwar, who was supposedly along with the rest of Hamas stealing the food of the people of Gaza (they weren't), was found with only a bunch of mentos, and an autopsy revealed that he was starved with almost nothing to digest in his gut; if one of the leaders of the resistance movement had almost nothing to eat, what then do you think of the rest of the Gazan population, which initially was 2.3 million people? Israel isn't even content to just kill the people of Gaza, they want them to suffer; they bomb journalists when they're with their family, they snipe children, they torture and SV them in prisons; an Israeli podcaster who worked with Netanyahu (the podcast is laughably called 'two nice Jewish boys') was openly talking about how the Israeli people were so happy that while they (the Israelis) were living their best lives, the Gazans were suffering hell on earth; he was literally saying that it brought them joy to know Gazans had a horrifying existence while they were living comfortably. The cruelty is the point.
Absolutely monstrous of you to diminish the suffering of the people of Gaza; no wonder the global South are so damn sick of the West. Even the libs, who pride themselves as being 'the good guys' are nothing more than Imperialists.
"but in the scope of modern history it is unfortunately far from unique"
Wow, so I guess that means we shouldn't care then. You heard it here first folks, genocide just happens

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 😭😭😭
Less than 48 hours later:
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!!!

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
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
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
A guilty Treatlerite who managed to turn “not making videos” into a career: is there anything more American?
So much vindication for the 'Never liked Contrapoints Gang'
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.
Its almost 1 million dead Palestinians. And just because it isnt the first genocide doesn’t mean its acceptable lol
I do not understand why people take her work seriously.
She's basically just a New Yorker op-ed writer but aggressively leaning into queer theater kid aesthetics, which really flatters the sensibilities of some people who want to find a way to call it progressive and trendy to support Democrats
she is a rich settler of the artisan class with petit-bourgeois aspirations, of course her politics are terrible
What is the point of even saying this? I tried looking it up but xitter needs an account and her sub is a cesspit calling "tankie" concern for Gaza hypocritical in the face of Stalin's 9 million victims.
The point she's implying but is too cowardly to outright say is that you shouldn't care about your country genociding brown people because it's just the natural state of things.
The context is her saying that the US enabling genocide in Palestine doesn't qualify it to be called "uniquely evil", and that EDITED FOR CLARITY: the US has "moral upsides and downsides". This is because she is a western chauvinist treatlerite.
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 🤷
Just farming engagement for her yearly 3+ hour video.
