    Contrapoints being a zionist, Philosophy Tube going “Both sides” wrt Gaza, Hbomberguy not saying jack shit about the genocide, they probably killed “breadtube”.

    Good thing is that means real leftist content creators like Hakim, Yugopnik, 2nd Thought, revolutionarythot, and even Luna Oi and NonCompete have filled the vaccum and grown.

      Though Shaun still takes forever on his projects, he’s at least stood firm on his principles including Palestine. Funny that a lot of KKKontrapoints-and-adjacent creators hated him for not compromising his views with liberal lesser-evilism back when Breadtube was still a thing

      Philosophy Tube going “Both sides” wrt Gaza

      I was actually surprised at that one. She’s had some Lib takes in the past but seemed overall to be fairly principled, but nah their take was maybe worse than Contra’s.

        She wants her acting career to take off. Which seems unlikely whether she abandons any principles or not. I think she’s gotten as far into Hollywood as her internet fame is gonna allow. I’m willing to bet it’s pretty hard for a trans woman in her mid 30s to break into the movie business and probably impossible to get big.

            She also ayes a bit part in that gsme of thrones show people didn’t like! This is totally gonna go somewhere! Oh shes also British. None of this is fair and should not be the case, but Hollywood is Hollywood, being a trans British women in her mid 30s who made her fame off left wing by Hollywood standards YouTube videos jusr isnt gonna land you much that is worth sacrificing your morals for, especially cause im absolutely certain she was rich as fuck before starting a YouTube channel 15 or so years ago

              Yeah iirc in one of the podcasts she’s been on she said she went to a very expensive private school and was pretty sure a bunch of her fellow alumni went on to become removed

              Edit: “went on to become feds”
              Don’t get why that synonym gets blocked by the automod

                If it was “spooks” it’s probably because it also has a racial connotation.

        We need to respect hurt Zionist feelings and beware of rise of antisemitism of the left, basically.

          We really do need to re-run the entire 2020 white fragility/decenter whiteness conversation except to emphasize “no actually Jewish people, this applies to you as well”
