Stop taking anything she says seriously, she’s a fucking neoliberal. She drank tea with Hillary and her daughter. And Id say she’s worse than the average neoliberal because she used leftist aesthetics to take peoples money and run.
Being a lib and trans is extremely incompatible she should move to the bottom of the ocean and stop dragging our community through the dirt
Trans people are everywhere and to be a lib is to deny trans people under imperialism's boot their existence. These libs are not ours and we should always say as much.
One of her thesis is for not-a-100% passable trans people, non-binary people and non-gender conforming people to "just shut up" and not ruin it for passable trans people, since thats the only way to get the respect of the vino bar/barstool normies
jesus christ how many bad takes can one woman have
To be fair, it seems like it's just one all-encompassing take ("The American Empire is Good, Actually").
Finite only within the amount of takes someone can reasonably make in their lifetime.
She's actually creating bad takes as an ultratask, so she can create an infinite number takes in a finite duration.
on the order of 30 trillion cells
she thinks she's so "radical" and "subversive" by having the exact same middle-of-the-road dullard lukewarm opinion on the issue as most boomers did their whole lives
You're forgetting one crucial difference: her videos have different colored led lighting
"If the Palestinians wanted self determination why don't they simply become Youtubers and make a 2 hour video once a year?"
You Natalie, fyi you can just not reply to people on Twitter. You could just log off entirely.
Probably Palestine bad because Hamas throw gay people off roofs. Me source is ISIS 2015 video. That speak for all mooselums.
Everyone defending her in the other thread better go make a post on self crit today
Hexbear loves defending their parasocial media leeches.
Liberals don’t want peace, they want to critique peace.
Contrapoints is a zionist? This screenshot is gonna haunt her forever. Gonna be digging it up for years to come.
She could have kept her mouth shut but she's such a committed liberal she just couldn't stand not letting us know she even aligns with libs on zionism.
Guess I'd prefer her stay silent than make a terrible "both sides/it's a complex issue" vid
The best thing a zionist can do is die, the second best thing is shut the fuck up
BIT IDEA: 2 hour long video where you just keep reading through graphic descriptions of Israeli atrocities with video and photo evidence, but you always describe the issue as being "complex and multifaceted." You don't cover even a single hiccup the Palestinians ever had (this gets pretty hard with post-Arafat Fattah since they are basically just Israel but wearing a mask). Screw it, do straight up historical revisionism and skirt around the entire history of the resistance so you don't have to acknowledge any of the actual "complexity" (funny that the only complexity of the issue the mainstream liberals know about is the resistance taking prisoners of war... which is just straight up legitimate? many of them don't know about actual missteps like the airport attack, the USSR's wobbly support of the resistance, the infighting, compromising of Fattah, etc)
Natalie, you know you can simply not have bad takes, right? You can have good takes if you want. We'd all love for your takes to be getting better
Absolutely stunned at the level of bad takes from her.
Let's take that as true. Is it not then incumbent upon the person saying this to think about why so much of her audience would hate it, what that says about her own position, and how to incorporate this line of questioning into her future analysis? Especially someone who considers herself a public intellectual on some level? Between this and the "tankies are just palette-swapped capitalists who uncritically support anti-west factions out of nothing but sheer ontological contrariansim" take yesterday, the thing that irks me about her (and all libs) isn't that she's wrong, it's that she's so smug and self-satisfied in her ignorance, so content to just echo the same self-soothing myths liberals have always told about communists to assure themselves of the innate superiority of their own ideas and minds without having to go through the tedious formality of actually engaging with the ideas and minds of others.
she wants to frame it as a minefield topic that her audience would be overly critical of and exaggerate her positions. But lots of creators have made videos already. Shaun, for example, made a perfectly succinct video that garnered no controversy. the simplest question is what takes would she be compelled to include in her video that Shaun did not?
Well, No controversy from his community. the contrapoints subreddit on the other handhad some things to say
I find the "lmao u'lll get really mad so I won't say" shit really cowardly tbh. But then considering she believes that to say anything, she has to take two hours to do it, then maybe I can see why she can't be bothered.
Liberalism with Ent tree characteristics
contra when u gonna make a video about
I hope never, we would hate it
This set of tweets was a bridge too far for the breadtube sub, lmao
I don't think this screenshot equals "is a zionist" but it definitely wasn't not a tone deaf answer.
I think she is leaving it up to us to engage in conjecture and it's hard to imagine, given both this and previous statements, her presenting a position that is anything other than some formulation of liberal zionism, where she wrings her hands about the genocide (whether she uses the term is coinflip) but makes sure to remind you that Hamas needs to be defeated and the hostages broken free.
The post isn't enough, but her timeline the last few years has a lot of "they would chuck you off a roof" and leftist are so stupid and puritanical for caring so much about Palestine.
Obligatory cognito hazard warning .
quintessentially lib
what if she thought they meant intellectual property laws?
lol
lmao
I actually thought this at first bc of the h3 drama and was like oh no shit a rich youtuber is on the side of “fuck fair use and free exchange of ideas”
somehow she found a way to be way worse tho
forgot she existed tbh
Saw someone on twitter say that in her pre-transition career as an atheist youtuber, she had very negative views of Muslims.
Hmm
Never meet your heroes folks. Or read their tweets. Can't belive I used to be such a big fan.
Reminds me a lot of people I learned about in the Revolutions podcast that would generate a movmeent that would move left faster than them. Happened a lot to the bourgeois liberal revolutionaries in the French Revolution, for example.
I genuinely can't understand what the fuck she's talking about in any of her essays. My experience of listening to her literally makes me feel like I'm having a stroke. I'm not saying this to punctuate an insult, I genuinely can't understand what she talks about. I hear a bizarre auditory mix like she's speaking another language, but I recognize all the individual words. And I have the sense that half of what she's saying is a Family Guy-esque pop culture reference.
There is a lot of internet brainrot interspersed with pretentious literary references
Coming out in the war on genocide on the side of genocide
Holy shit what a fucking monster she is
