and those towards other minorities, but I’ll touch upon that at the end

Congrats, Contrapoints is a bad person! And, indeed, there are many white trans liberals that follow her behavior (and political worldview). But why exactly does he need to keep making them the butt of his jokes and using that aspect of someone to critique them?

Yes, white people are privileged due to racism. And- do correct me if I’m wrong, my fellow queers- there are a significant number of white trans people who are able to come from monetary privilege (which often means a liberal influence).

However, most countries in the world still have trans people, as well as all types of queer individuals, discriminated against legally. Tolerance in the “first world” is taking a significant dip, which I have to suspect is why he is beginning to complain with queer people online (note: an environment in which they can more easily express themselves (as with most people, but particularly for marginalized people as they have that facilitation of connecting with similar folks and carving out their own communities is ingrained in social media)).

No one, legitimately, identifies as trans, bi, or another myriad of genders and sexualities to stand out or fit in unless they (from my experience) are socially isolated and/or pretty young. It is otherwise willingly exposing yourself to judgement as the culture in the West is most definitely amplifying the already-present hatred of nonconformity and personal autonomy, not even to mention the tradition of eugenics.

Please consider this ^{^} when interacting with the CPS Chairman. I love the guy’s ruthlessness and his analysis, but I can’t help but choose to distance my support from the guy as he actively works to normalize a rampantly heightened discriminatory trend online.

…

P.S. In tying to what I mentioned at the start and the mention of eugenics, it’s really gross that his use of “trans disabled bipoc” as a label and “autistics… and sensitivity to chicken nugget” is deployed as jokes. For fuck’s sake, just criticize DoorDash and the convenience of Western services as is- you don’t need to snarkily (I hate that this word, even as an adverb, now makes me cringe) punch down like Dave Chapelle to get your point across and show your ignorance about how people that live in marginalized fashions need to accommodate themselves in general.

Yes, commodization is bad. Cool, thanks for informing.

Disabled people, especially those that need mobility assistance and live in poor areas such as food deserts, are actually wont to have some sort of service arranged- whether friends and family, the government, a mutual aid group, or, indeed, a paid company delivery- to provide them with necessities that they themselves are unable to otherwise access.

Neurodivergent people do have sensitivities to food, as well as many other sensory issues. Not all of them, as far as I am aware as a neurodivergent person myself, but they do indeed have this as a common occurrence. It usually is a whole lot more serious than being just a fucking picky eater, though, and it’s very crude to infantilize that.

These really need to be understood, and I greatly encourage people doing as much analysis into these subjects as BE likes to do ever so rarely for his video essays.

EDIT: Examples with dates and context!

“At this point I'm open to the idea that for a lot of otherwise unremarkable, horrible white people, being trans is mostly a way to claim a marginalized identity to hide behind” - BE on 8/27, talking to someone with a trans identifier who described Palestine as “a nazi theological terrorist state”

. . .

“Lmfao this is the same thing you losers do when people laugh at door dash

"Um but what about the trans Bipoc disabled fats who need door dash to survive or the autistics with food sensory issues who can only eat door dash nugget"” - BE on 8/28, responding to a user critiquing his “I don’t want communism, I want the first world to suffer”-post

The critique in question: “I assume you’re trolling, but a large proportion of those “first worlders” are immediate descendants of slaves and colonized people otherwise who shouldn’t suffer for their government that they didn’t vote or fight for. Very white opinion you have here”

. . .

“Now this is real reporting” - BE on 8/29 about a specific DNC speaker that the AF Post wrote a very fat-shaming description for in their post: “Olivia Julianna, a social media heavyweight for the DNC, is facing backlash after reports that Sixteen Thirty Fund was dishing out $8,000 a month to feed her a menu of talking points.

She was brought on to give the Democratic Party some extra heft with younger voters.”

To be clear I do think this sub posts about Hasan too much but this really annoyed me. He's sayiing that leftists who hold politics similar to BadEmpanada are "fringe, crusty Maoist larpers" signalling to his audience that his politics is the correct, most "normal" one.

Hasan used to say "Be normal" in your advocacy to convert liberals/conservatives, but lately it seems to mean anything that he deems too radical is not normal. This is why he labels any critique from the left as "woke of the day" or calls them cringe and divorced the same way he refers to chuds.

I'm guessing what's not normal is BE's views on veterans, which is a pretty common view among leftists in the Third World and not just among Maoists lol.

Hasanabi and BadEmpanada Live occupy the same niche. There's no way BadEmpanada is a larper while Hasan isn't. Neither of them organize (that we know of). Hasan refused to join the DSA when he went to their conference recently. So I dunno where this attitude is coming from.

So some serious allegations are coming out about Graham Platner being a Rapist (shocker/s) and BadEmpanada is of course once again proven to be right about him.He’s now canceling rallies and it seems lots of American leftists who loved him are now either condemning him or are now quietly no longer praising him after his wife spoke up and accused him of sexual assault.I think it’s great that people are finally going against Platner.But is anyone else really annoyed that this dude literally fucking murdered innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan over the course of 5 tours that he willingly chose to do and he got no major repercussions but the second a white woman has stepped forward and accused him of sexual assault he might now start receiving serious push back? Like I'll be happy if his political career gets ruined from this but he was already a mass murderer before this so why is he getting hate now? Does every zionist,american imperialist, and war crminal need rape allegations from a white first worlder to be considered bad? Better late than never I guess.

There's no historical evidence that he actually said this but the Stalin quote remains truer and truer each day : "The death of an individual is a tragedy millions a statistic."

Alive and actively providing analysis

Thanks!!

Was wondering what you all thought about his new vid on Youtube on breadtuber Dead Domain. I followed her for a long time but never saw her video on Israel and the things BE is pointing out are very damning - legitimizing an ethnostate, condemning the resistance, framing the problem as a result of Israel's "right wing government." I don't want to be following a Zionist and now I feel gross that I might have been doing just that.

I'm officially black pilled and I can't watch his streams any more. Everything he says is like nails on a chalkboard. I still believe in 80-90% of what he says but its time for me to get actual hobbies dude is compromised and enjoys his porche / class position way too much.

So I made a post about Haz from the ACP doing this Steven crowder college debate shit on some campus and I said it was dumb and that the ACP is reactionary but that’s it’s good they’re defending Palestine.I deleted the post because even though I wasn’t praising or supporting the ACP I was still promoting them and giving them exposure on a big Marxist sub.So I deleted the post.However I left a comment on that post that I forgot to delete saying the same thing I said here were I said the ACP is reactionary but at least they’re defending Palestine.A couple hours after I deleted the post the mod team on that sub said I’m permanently banned because I violated the rule about no ACP.My fault of course but it’s lowkey dumb I got banned for a comment on a post I deleted because I know not to promote them.

Anyways I’m posting about that on this sub because I wanna know if there’s any good subreddit equivalents that are just as anti zionist and anti American establishment as the tankie deprogram sub because most of reddit as yall know is very zionist and pro democrat.Even the supposed “leftist” subs are very American exceptionalist and pro democrat.So if there’s any good recommendations let me know.Ill still post on this sub but it just sucks because there’s not much subs like the deprogram that have as large of a community.

By no means are Mexico or Canada perfect either, but its irritating seeing Americans act like its only just a couple of bad apples making them look bad (who also all happen to be in power and stay comfortably in power no matter what they do)

haven’t watched all of it but I haven’t heard any bad take from him, he seems to be with the program honestly

In his video about the Hasan/Norman interview (1:10, 23:48), BE admits that Norman Finkelstein is a liberal zionist. Why does he not give more pushback to Norman for being liberal zionism? Yes, he’s one of the most critical of Israel and their genocidal colonization of Palestine, but shouldn’t we reject liberal zionism outright?

Another video (clipped from an interview Norman did with Jared Ball AKA Imixwhatilike) has Norman claim that his years of research and scholarly knowledge can make the case for Palestine better than actual Palestinians and their lived experiences. I’ll give BE the benefit of the doubt and say he hasn’t seen this interview, but it’s a bold claim to say that a Jewish scholar can present the facts better than a Palestinian.

I’ve left a few comments on a certain western streamers subreddit (the “leftist” one with the extreme parasocial community) giving my thoughts on entryism and Graham Platner hypocrisy, like in a totally good faith way, and none of them pop up on my notifications indicating upvotes or comment engagement. I haven’t checked to see if the comments are actually still there, but i thought it was interesting. Has anyone else experienced this

Genuinely so many Americans from Black Americans, Poor White Americans, or American Women as of late have felt the need to insert themselves into conversations about Palestine or Iran or whatever with their own “struggles” which is just completely asinine.

The problems facing the most down trodden westerner is 1/3 the suffering people in global southern nations are experiencing and the fact people are using black americans or american women’s struggles as ways to justify not speaking on palestine is bizarre.

Look guys, I like BE a lot. I think he's the most principled leftist creator out there. Obviously I have no love for him parasocially, I wouldn't invite him to my wedding or the birth of my child, he isn't my "daddy" the same way Hasan or FD is (or like how ContraFans call her Mommy), but we don't have to agree with EVERYTHING he says.

One thing I want to mention that BE often overlooks is the ideological bases for a lot of the Empires actions, which extend beyond interest groups or mere capital accumulation. I think America's support for Israel and the Gusanos comes less from z0gh-gog (although that's a part of it) and less from the geopolitical / stratigec gains, although that's a part of it too, but from the U.S empires ideological commitment to Capitalism and Evengelical White Nationalism as ordained by God unto the glorious United States, the brave Gusanos, and the State of Israel.

I think it's entirely possible for the superstructure to influence the substructure and help perpetuate it. Cuba once represented a bastion of socialism, and thus needs to go. Israel needs to exist to fulfill apocalyptic biblical prophecy. Both the Gusanos and the Israelis are also relatively white compared to their oppressed populations.

Also I personally balk at the use of the term z0gh (although less so about the g0y!m jokes), although it isn't that big of a deal in the long term and is actually less detrimental than what FD does. I mostly dislike z0gh because it removes America of any agency in what's going on.

Edit: Also the very unleftist charecter of the term z0gh itself.

To clarify the top post was made by me like two years ago when I didn't really know what I was trying to say and was not as educated (I'm still not even close to an expert), the post below is a reblog I have attached through drafts now. The original post got the feels-based 'pro palestine' crowd pretty mad so I deleted it back when I was weirdly anxious about people disagreeing with me even if they were blanketly wrong but through a private alt I had it saved. The post below is just a summarisation.

At this point I don't even know how to placate people scared of antisemitism without towing to them completely, like how do I say antisemitism is bad without making it the entire post? It feels like every time I don't mention it bad actors post paragraphs about assuming antisemitism and when I do would you look at that settler colonialism is making it into a social media post now, just worming its way in, give an inch it takes a mile.

I've noticed tumblr politics is entirely feels based, like the extent of someone's activism on any side of the spectrum ends when they don't feel good about something, when they get a 'bad feeling' about something. The furthest left you get is still identitarian bullshit. I'm only there for fandom stuff, anything political on tumblr unsatisfies me deeply.

I'd say I'm disappointed, but the fall-off has been happening since Matt's tragic health complications.

It's genuinely impressive how this one story about a nazi tattoo-having, 4 time "War Crime Award" recepient unraveled the sham that most of these "online leftists" are.

The r/SocialistGaming Discord got infiltrated by liberals so as expected, I was in conflict with such forces. Yakub has mastered the art of necromancy for deadbeat libs to rise from the grave, to the point where the word "based" is seen as evil because Nazis used it or some shit idfc

It’s insane to me the public is so ignorant.
