    Leftists: Don’t worry it’s late stage capitalism so inevitably it will all fall apart without us needing to do anything. If we voted for Kamala, nothing would be different anyway, so it’s a good thing we’re doing nothing.

    Leftism is all about making people feel good about doing nothing. And that’s the point. Online socialism is monetized (like everything else online) so they need to convince you to feel good about buying from the merch stores of online “socialist influencers”.

    It’s a similar grift to the incel dating advice scam. If they gave good advice and your life improved you would stop consuming their content. Monetized socialism is always trying to sabotage liberals because if liberals were successful in improving people’s lives, the monetized socialists would lose their income stream. Liberals are a natural ally to socialists, but they are the competition to monetized socialists.

    So monetized socialists (Hasan, Vaush, etc) will constantly tell you how bad liberals are, because liberals are competition to them and they only care for that sweet monetization money.

        They are literally exactly in the same category: leftist streamers. I realize Hasan is a bit more popular, but they’re identical in terms of what they do.

          Vaush is an ideologically vapid grifter who comes up with things like Anarcho-NATOism and defends child porn and pedophilia. The association with leftism is dubious at best.

      Lepthishm!

      As if that’s an ideology. It’s literally a propaganda label lifted straight from FOX l, and you’re unironically using it.
