90% of her twitter is complaining about tankies and the uyghurs and the authoritarianism
someone in the comments says “im cuban and castro was not a real communist”
retweeted something about how can china eradicate poverty when people in hong kong live in tiny homes
I dunno, if the person with the most similar political development on Youtube was freaking Shoe0nhead, that would probably make me want to rethink my beliefs.
Like, there’s non-tankie leftists online like hbomb, philosophytube, big joel, the chapos, contrapoints, hasanabi, but they talk about actual fucking left-wing ideals, the injustices in the present day and what could be done to fix them. They don’t turn their entire online presence into “im one of the good lefties, not like these evil tankies, im one of the good and reasonable ones”
Is shoe even remotely left? I remember like…over a decade ago I think…watching a video of hers where her essay was on why feminism is bad for women actually and how feminism is making her life worse. I figured she was a permanent write off at that point. It sounds like she’s still obnoxious but that’s still quite the distance to travel if anyone is considering her left at all.
She had apparently become a bernie bro in 2020 and then steadily fell back into fascism.
Forget where I first heard it, but most of these people that jumped onto Bernie from the right just wanted free healthcare and were fine with all the horrible shit otherwise.
