You could always not support genocide, it's not hard

Wahhhh how dare someone post clips of the episode I went on ?

Like wtf do you expect? Someone not to post any clips ? If you go on a show and lose the debate then the clips are going to be you losing the debate.

Twitter leftists: "Briahna is owning ContraPoints"

ContraPoints: "I lost the debate"

Reality: Briahna was just asking basic questions and logical follow-ups that every lib has already seen on their social media feeds thousands of times in dozens of various forms and should have a prepared lie to counter it, but still doesn't for some reason!? You can just call it "Russian disinformation" on social media and ignore it, but you can't do it in an interview that you agreed to!!

This just shows that no one wants to work anymore, the libs MUST KNOW that going on leftists podcasts and lying in a slick way would still win them some votes and visibility, compared with not going on those podcasts at all, but they can't even come up with some bullshit response to basic questions.

Contra doesn't see any of those points because she blocks literally every single leftist that responds to her with any disagreement. She tunes it out, does not want to engage with literally anything that disagrees with her, and throws a strop when she isn't unquestioningly worshipped.

[-] john_brown@hexbear.net 35 points 3 weeks ago

I think they could come up with lies but they despise anyone who disagrees with them to such a degree that they refuse to do it. They think the left should just knuckle under and support them as a matter of fact, they don't think they should lower themselves by trying to actually appeal to the left.

"i don't mind if i lose a debate to bad faith so im okay with going on a podcast called bad faith"

clip gets posted, claims its bad faith

"how could she do this to me :("

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 81 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

This reads like trump tweets lol. "Brianna joy gray, JILL STEIN VOTER, comes to me, she says 'mr trump will you please be on my podcast'?"

And so on. You get it. The whole aside about women not getting enough recognition and she's really nice and so on and then straight to the dig at her? Pure Trump

[-] Lussy@hexbear.net 41 points 3 weeks ago

Literally reads like one of his recent tweets relating to the Iran war. ‘LOSER who totally did not own me (is actually owning owning me btw) because I have owned myself. I trust that Iran will be DECENT and not own me further because I’ve already owned myself and have thus won the war’

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 33 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

She says she's acting in (deep inhale) bad faith. She says it folks! Some people, they say I act in bad faith, but I would never admit - I don't act in bad faith - would you admit you did? But I still go on there, because I'm good! I'm good! People say it all the time! And I do it because she's a woman, a beautiful woman - you're not allowed to say that anymore by the way, but she is - and women, they dont get enough credit! I could have a (deep inhale) podcast and I would be great at it! Wouldn't I? But she's good too! And she doesn't get enough credit! Not because shes pretty - for her age - but because she's a woman! So I go! I go to bad faith! And what do they do? They ask me questions! So many questions

[-] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 64 points 3 weeks ago

What is she even doing at this point? She's not stupid. She's no Brianna Wu. No doubt that her audience of left-libs is overwhelmingly anti-genocide. Is she actually to the right of John Oliver on Israel?

[-] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 31 points 3 weeks ago

i mean john oliver is from europe isn't he? thats a shade of pinko

Contra is so washed.

It's a shame Chapo won't joke about this because doing so would invite mentioning Virgil

How can someone be this washed? It is almost sad. Why is it so hard for her to admit she's just wrong?

[-] Carl@hexbear.net 43 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

It'd be great if she went that far, but the saddest truth is that she doesn't even have to do all that. If she wasn't addicted to Twitter she could coast the rest of her life on putting out one video essay per year with her established fanbase and avoid controversy by simply not saying things publicly.

You tweet the same brain-dead centrist slip for money that literally thousands of more successful media 'personalities' (or lack thereof) have been spouting since the 90s. Literally one of the only jobs an LLM could take and improve on.

How hostile is the interview? I presume not that much if she agreed to hang out later

[-] haxboar@hexbear.net 62 points 3 weeks ago

It was only hostile if you think that pointing out that the Democrats are right-wing is hostile.

The clip I saw was her getting asked where the line was for voting dem, ie would you vote for Trump 2016 if that was running against Trump 2024 on the dem ticket.

Then said she honestly thought/thinks Nancy Pelosi actually wanted to get people something better than the ACA
