Rant
This is a bit of a rant before I head off to bed but please consider this a comraderadely reminder: Any so-called communist who starts pivoting to this kind of punching down rhetoric should give a MASSIVE :hitler-particles: vibe.
I’m not backing down from that, there’s a reason fascists are most successful when coopting class war rhetoric. Once you lack basic solidarity with people your class consciousness is chipped away like a Welsh stonemason chips away at slate.
this guy is officially on the bad transphobes list, people who stan him will be uh… shot?
Based moderation policy.
lets goo
,Too lenient, they need to be vaporized
They’ll be handcuffed, strapped to a glider, and deployed over Tel-Aviv.
yeah I support LGBT: Let’s Glide Badempanada over Tel-Aviv
idk being shot sounds more painful
disintegrated
BE showing his whole ass the last two months
oh well, another reminder you can’t trust us australian kkkrackoids. never rely on me for anything serious
I can at least rely on you for slang that involves adding -ie to the end of a noun
another reminder you can’t trust us australian kkkrackoids
or just petite-bourgeois dramaslop youtubers whose income depends on engagement™
Who’s gunna drop an uncensored n word on a stream first, BE or FJ
who is FJ?
Friendly jordies, another Australian, lib ‘left’ YouTuber
*‘left’ in strong air quotes see discussion below
He’s not on the left m8 the bastard is a neoliberal labor shill who should be in jail for zionist apologia (supporting albanazi)
Ik ‘lib left’ as far as it goes for popular youtubers and how they frame themselves. I thought that my comment suggesting that they’re likely to use racial slurs would alr suggest that I know they aren’t leftists
Yep sry thats true, no shade meant at all even if you did think he’s on the left because of all the misinformation floating around. I’ll leave the comment up so the uninformed know he supports an anti worker pro pissrael government.
All g mate. Probably on me for typing that comment at work without time to choose my words better. Friendlyjordies is a perverse parody of a ‘lefty’ and is probably on the same trajectory as Mark Latham
i don’t get how iether of them are lib left FJ seems to be a suckdem and BE seems to be ML
Sorry yes, that is a better characterisation. I do not believe fj to be a leftist in any meaningful sense beyond superficial lab/lib dichotomy
😠
Oh hey look, it’s that thing where once someone posts transphobia, they never post normally again.
Riley’s law still keeping a perfect record lol
What’s Riley’s law? Never heard of it 🤔
coined by Riley Quinn from trashfuture, it states that once you post transphobia you never post normally again
That makes sense. Sad thing though.
This guy is so insufferable. He acts like he’s the the most serious and principled communist on the planet while he spends every waking moment of his life posting ragebait online and calling anyone he doesn’t like a fascist or a pedophile, which apparently includes queer and neurodivergent people now. Embarrassing to think I used to watch his shit.
The signs were always there tbh it just used to be easier to separate it from his regular body of work but he’s completely out of control with the posting now it’s sickening
ah yes. god forbid people don’t seek out professional diagnosis that cost thousands of dollars and just end up in you being not taken seriously in medical settings ever again
Hey now, that’s not fair! Official diagnosies are/will very soon be used to make kill lists of undesirables🥰
a small price to pay so an ableist pos insults you for a different reason 🥰
Akshually 👆does who are on the lists have more privilege than those making them, so its karma for being born in the west. 🥰
This is communism.
Once you lack basic solidarity with people your class consciousness is chipped away like a Welsh stonemason chips away at slate.
Beautifully put.
BadEmpanada continues to lose my respect. We’re well past the point where I thought he was more useful than harmful to any sort of leftist analysis; the man says some good things but what good things he says, others say too without incorporating more and more right wing brainworms
The only leftist thing he actually does is oppose the west but without theory and simply on a „is“ level.
He doesn’t even call himself a leftist, neither did contrapoints. Yet both were taken in as left-wing celebrities at some point.
oppose the west
As far as I can tell, not even consistently true.
oppose the west
I thought so but he’s got bad takes on Ukraine which backs up the “without theory” part.

That’s interesting! I’ve been thinking more and more that “leftist” is not even a sufficient descriptor any more than “antifascist” is, because I’ve been disappointed by so many people claiming those terms apply to them and then really not living up to it at all.

He considers ukraine not be western. And Russia & China to be the „same“ as the west.

True. And that has been an issue since the bernie campaign, where american pink leftists intentionally mudded the water what „socialism“ and „communism“ means to trick americans, who „just wanted“ better healthcare yet still support the empire, into communism.
My point was that Contrapoints and him NEVER even self-identified as leftist, which is like the bare minimum.

Incoherent, none of these countries are western and only one is aligned with the west. Some of these streamers really turn ignorance into an Olympic sport.
Fuck this loser. He’s just using ableism to disparage people he doesn’t like.
Anywho, I personally advocate you should try to get a medical diagnosis from professionals and avoid self-diagnosis (though I realize this isn’t possible for everyone, especially with how garbage the “”““healthcare””“” system can be). The reason is there are illnesses that look like other illnesses.
For example, you may think you’re suffering from an anxiety disorder. Except it may not be an anxiety disorder at all and it’s actually a heart condition. Those aren’t panic attacks. Those are heart palpitations and you have atrial fibrillation. Or how Bipolar II Disorder looks a lot like Severe Depression Disorder. They require entirely different treatments. Bipolar II can be improved with mood stabilizers, but will cause worse (possibly deadly) psychosis if you try treating it with SSRIs. Then, of course, you can have hallucinations caused by Bipolar Disorder, which is not Schizophrenia (which also causes hallucinations).
So please, please see a doctor if you can and don’t hesitate to seek second opinions. I say this because you don’t have to suffer with something that’s treatable. And again, I know this can be difficult because people don’t have insurance or because doctors can be assholes/prejudiced.
As someone who has severe truama from self-diagnosis, I have to say self-diagnosis is not a good idea and i highly discourage it. Even if you have expertise you will not fully be able to understand things from your own perspective cause pesronal bias exists. and the more ocmplicated the condition is the worse of an idea it is. I read a study once that tested people who self-daigonsed themselves with autism for autism. Only 20% got diagnosed with autism after assessment. Self-diagnosing and presenting yourself as having something you do not have can also cause lots of wider social issues. It’s wild to me so amny peopel support self-diagnosis like this when it’s so widely considered to be a bad thing by medicine and science. To be clear ther eis a difference between self-diagnosis and saying you suspect you have x disorder though. There is a reason doctors aren’t allowed ot diagnose thmeselves. It’s wild to me that people on the internet think that not only can they do that but htey can do it better than professionals who use psychometric testing among other things to diagnose these conditions.
Besides being clearly shitty It’s also like the most repeated insult by a user of a social media site about users of a different social media site.
How often has such an insult been leveled at Tumblr for instance
I was gonna say, this is the same exact shit internet conservatives were saying about Tumblr ten years ago.
He’s just too much of an internet edgelord to stay quiet I guess.
He’s also way too used to being right because he measures himself against the worst, dumbest people existing today. That makes him think he is some sort of titan of rhetoric, but the perception is based on having won a bunch of arguments against toddlers.

Ah, the creationism debunker trap
“Mental Illness” can mean “non conformity” and “atypical” in some contexts, and did often mean exactly this in the past. When talking about mental illness one should talk about it with the respect the topic deserves.
Haven’t we seen this before with someone else from “the left” they were famous and talking communism then started pivoting to attacking neurodivergent people or am I tripping?
probably just BE the last time lmao
Wow, this isn’t a first?
Like a month ago he said similarly bigoted things about trans people for no fucking reason.
And this particular post of his seems to be particularly well timed with a wave of people getting pissed that bluesky’s staff are still suckling the teat of transphobes like Jesse Singal. Which alone makes me think there’s some ulterior definitions of “mental illness” at play
He did also say something similar to this take
yeah he was really big with the italian social democrats but started chumming with nationalists after getting cancelled for his views on military interventionism.
you might be thinking of Contrapoints
70% bad 30% empanada
credit to @Jabril@hexbear.net btw
settler armchair activist says what???
ignore this mf, neither print nor reply.
Okay but can I at least say
on this bear sitemfers got super pissed at me when I called this guys out for being a reactionary opportunistic grifter and I WAS FUCKING RIGHT.
The fact that he is Australian really should have set off hitler particle detectors
we are truly irredeemable
You can’t spell Australian without Austrian
I am vindicated every day for calling this piece of shit out.
activist? He doesn’t do anything outside yelling at the camera lol
Emphasis on “armchair” there
The internet is rapidly becoming a Nazi bar, and I am not here for it.
Whereas twitter is a place where people who are very healthy and very smart gather to discuss important topics.
