Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

He's a snide liberal shithead and always has been. Back in 2018 or so when /r/breadtube was new, I remember the lost libs and socdem types there showering his name in praise because they believed he "moved people left" or some other delusional nonsense (to them it was 'moving left' just with Ronald Reagan as the starting point I think). They thought he was some kind of leftist because he shot down a few actual right-wingers in debates, a very low bar to clear for even a liberal centrist.

Then I watched his debates with Luna Oi and a separate one with some left-aligned guy whose name I forgot and he showed his whole pro-capitalist ass. The chat stream from his followers was no better. Probably half of them were regulars on /pol/ and had browser tabs open to that shithole, judging by the endless racist and edgelord remarks I was able to read as they flew by.

Fuck him and the horse he rode in on, and his followers too.

he's literally called for the execution of BLM protestors. he's at best fash adjacent and deserves the worst.

I said it a few times before and I will do it again as many times as it is needed: do not watch streamers nor youtubers. Just because someone has a camera, a computer and enough luck to be pushed into fame by an algorithm it does not mean that their opinions are worth listening to, much less does it mean that they are any educated on anything they may be talking about.

Even if whoever it is that you are watching is the strictest ML person in the planet, it is always best to just read the theory from its source. The only thing of worth that can be taken from a streamer is if they share reading recommendations with their viewers, but as far as I have seen this is very rarely the case.

Edit: grammar.

yes x1000, same shit as vash

[–] TarkovSurvivor@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

At least destiny isn't claiming to be a comrade or trying to normalize child r***

[–] ToastyWaffles@lemmygrad.ml -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The child rape stuff is a total misrepresentation of the point Vaush was trying to make. But he does have some lib views on stuff like the Ukraine conflict for example.

[–] TarkovSurvivor@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago

He said there's no ethical or moral argument why cp shouldn't be legal, many times. He has said that no ethical consumption under capitalism means that such unethical content should be permitted. Why are you trying to defend him? It's not one thing "taken out of context" as vaushites attempt to claim, he has made very sus arguments many times and even admitted to "jerking it" to underage hentai imagery.

I think vaush even spawned from the destiny fandom.

[–] sofa@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I could def see that, primordial ooze breeding toxic waste 🙄

[–] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 1 year ago

I don't know much about him but apparently he had an actual "debate" with Zizek.

This is meant as a slight against Zizek.

He's a right wing liberal who used to masquerade as "on the left." I think he's had to give up that shit in recent years due to other people who are actually versed in left ideologies completely embarrassing his zero historical knowledge. In response to being called out and shamed and embarrassed in basically every discussion he's just been hanging with straight up Nazis like Fuentes and that Nazi lady whose name I forget and don't care about. Normally he'd be completely forgotten and irrelevant, and he basically is, but he still holds onto a small couple thousand or so loyal Nazi dipshits who spend all day on reddit and Twitter generally harassing and annoying the shit out of the rest of humanity. Thank God twitch finally booted him off twitch and into the even further irrelevancy of live streaming on YouTube which absolutely no one watches. If he got hit by a bus tomorrow I'd just guffaw and move on. That's all the thought he's worth ultimately

[–] ToastyWaffles@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Any source on the nic Fuentes stuff? Always found Destiny insufferable but would be nice to confirm my suspicions.

[–] MaoWasRight@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

He's had him over a couple of times to his house and has had dinner with him and his (destiny's) wife/partner.

Just Google "destiny nick fuentes sandwich"

And you'll find people talking about their play dates

[–] Rasm635u@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have never heard of them

[–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Judging by the comments here, I don't think we missed out on anything exciting, comrade.

[–] Rasm635u@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So you have never heard of him either?

[–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Not until this post

[–] Kultronx@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 1 year ago

"streamers" in general cannot be trusted

[–] FlightSimEnjoyer@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who's that? I think I'm touching enough grass since I don't know this person.

[–] JTurtle@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 year ago

save yourself the braincells and dont bother learning anything about "breadtubers". destiny is just another one of them, and you're better off knowing nothing more than that.

[–] EcoBolshevik@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 year ago

Hes like a liberal to fascist pipeline
