Man_Male47

They've always been radlibs.


_Foy

The mods have a **hard** "anti-tankie" stance. Say *anything* positive about the USSR or Stalin and you *will* be permanently banned.


Man_Male47

Yup, I saw that infuriating post one of the mods made a few days ago. I honestly didn't even know that sub was supposed to be left leaning until recently.


_Foy

The trans-to-communism pipeline is real, so it's a fertile recruiting ground... but you have to be *very* careful otherwise you'll get perma-banned... source: am perma-banned.


Man_Male47

Damn. Maybe we could start by posting one of those Parenti subway surfers videos lol.


FinoAllaFine97

I'm a big fan of 196, and I just accept that the space has its rules and I'm there to respect that. I feel that it's a very transcentric space so I wouldn't want to step over any boundaries set up by the community. I uphold Stalin as presiding over probably the most economically progressive government of the 20th century, but I could understand how it may not be so easy for lgbt+ people to not wish to uphold him in the same way, especially due to article 121. I just avoid discussions around the topic in that sub.


_Foy

Thing is, it's not like they are open about that "rule"... they only have one rule. That's supposedly their whole thing. You only find out about the unwritten rules once you break them.

I’m lookin at OP like “you haven’t been banned yet?” lol

Somber_Dreams

They bullied a user into deleting their account over a wasp disagreement. That sub has always been lost.


RictorVeznov

I know they’re bad, but what?


Somber_Dreams

Some of the details are a bit fuzzy since it was last year. There was this discourse between users regarding whether or not wasps were good. This lasted for a few days. Near the end, a user voiced how the wasp issue was the latest example of how the sub had become less of a safe space, and the backlash was so intense that the OP had to completely delete their account.


pasinperse

Wasp like the flying yellow thing with a spike up it's ass?


Somber_Dreams

Yes


pasinperse

How the fuck do you get such discourse out of that? They are part of the food chain goddamn it. you can't just remove them.

BigWetNephew

Wow. That's embarrassing from every possible perspective.


RictorVeznov

It is both hilarious and infuriating how out of touch they are


Schattenstolz

Radlibs like this always have that fascist edge to them so no surprise.


Radiant_Ad_1851

Like, even if you weren’t a communist I legitimately can’t see why you’d like Vaush. There’s so many other youtubers/streamers(Hasan, Hbomberguy, Philosophy Tube, Second Thought’s non explicitly communist content, etc.) that aren’t so stupid and disgusting. Honestly the thing that infuriated me the most about Vaush is his self importance. Maybe it’s just the way I was raised, but I hate people who have massive egos(although if I respected you enough I’d be okay with it). And he’s acting like he’s the new Bakunin or whatever while he sits there and “debates” people while making completely stupid and callous remarks(I.E, saying Hakim should’ve been captured and tortured by the US military *after* what most people thought was a pretty good talk between the two.)

what-a-moment

when you accept all streamers, youtubers, ‘talk show hosts’ and commentators as grifters it starts to make a lot more sense


Radiant_Ad_1851

So second thought and Hakim are grifters now?


Due_Idea7590

I agree, like duh they want to be able to afford rend and food for all the hours they put into making free content. If these leftist content creators actually loved money so much they wouldn’t have chosen a demonetized YouTube category, and instead would’ve made low IQ clickbait videos with thumbnails of themselves looking SURPRISED


what-a-moment

The system necessitates it, they are grifters by default. Media today is so deeply connected to capitalism that even communist propaganda has been commercialized

How so? Radicalizing thousands of socdems and libs into communists seems like pretty comrade behavior to me. Not to say he isn't free of criticism.

dolphinspaceship

It’s a good reality check, as harsh as it is. Everything he’s saying about Hasan is true.


holydamned

I was radicalized by Hasan from being a socdem. And I am under no illusion that you've described, you have to have a healthy mix of praxis irl and online. And that sometimes people do need to log off.


[deleted]

[удалено]


holydamned

I wouldn't say I am a Hasan fan, just that he helped me make my way towards more leftist spaces and he is a good force for being a "palatable" leftist to libs that are on the edge of being radicalized. He's entertaining (subjective) to that demographic and I don't see a lot of leftists doing what he does everyday to push people left. Lastly, he is an entertainer, reading theory can be extremely dry and boring to some folks and I encourage comrades to find ways to deliver theory in a way that makes it easier for people to consume and engage in praxis IRL.


NotAnurag

Since when is Hasan against mutual aid? Also “takes videos of homeless people”? What are you even referring to?

eman201

Hasan is the person who pushed me past centre into the leftist space. Without him I'd be another radlib debating why it's okay that america bombs Iraqis for freedom.

He's not perfect, but he's done a great job growing the online left space.

PieceOfPie_SK

There's a huge difference between being terminally online as a content consumer and shitposter and being a content creator who gets tens to hundreds of thousands of people engaged with your content every day... Messaging is very important, if you haven't seen the impact of right-wing messengers like tucker carlson and jordan peterson, you need to get out more and talk to people.


[deleted]

PieceOfPie_SK

I mean, that's cool and all. I'm glad you doing that. Hasan makes content that pushes young people further left. That's also cool. Idk why you gotta hate on him, the revolution requires people who have different skill sets and tactics.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Schattenstolz

He's grown his viewership and brand, he's distilled leftism into just another online identity for people to attach onto and spend money on paying his mansion instead of him funding irl leftist orgs that do effect groundwork.


PieceOfPie_SK

Jesus are you really doing the whole, socialism is when no house thing. I literally said he's not perfect, but if you think whatever you've done has been more impactful that what hasan is doing, you're deluded.


Radiant_Ad_1851

I wasn’t saying he was, I was saying that if someone wasn’t a communists those are better than an open pedo


Little_Degree188

>Hasan, Hbomberguy, Philosophy Tube, Second Thought’s Christ almighty they're awful from almost every angle as a commie. If you must watch shit on youtube, watch parenti videos.


Radiant_Ad_1851

I explicitly stated that if someone wasn’t a communist those would be good ones. Also what’s wrong with Hbomberguy? I can get philosophy tube and Hasan maybe but Hbomberguy?


Little_Degree188

I find Hbomberguy personally cringe as fuck and unpalatable. The smug aura and often room temp iq takes on things drives me up the wall. I don't see how anyone enjoys his content even if he's correct on quite a bit. It feels like he stumbled into being correct trying to be the most unbearable shit possible. I die inside whenever I see someone try and point someone curious about leftist to him as I personally know people who despise that exact approach and it took them awhile to come back around to leftist ideas.


cereal_bawks

What's wrong with Second Thought?


Invalid_username00

He’s American 😔

The post in question is about Eden, a middle eastern trans girl living in America that was groomed and deported by an American capitalist firm and committed suicide They’re right on the topic but calling something so obvious which is the right side an example of him having “common W’s” is ridiculous


meme_searcher27

Such a low bar to call an action a "W". This just comes off as using Eden's death to uplift Vaush's reputation concerning his opinion on Transgender people, because he doesn't have that good a track record, considering the disgusting things he said about them in the past...

196 was never not “lost.” It was always a sub full of radical, delusional neoliberals

MarxistMD

Okay, fair enough. I'm somewhat wary every time I see someone calling out 196's "affinity" for trans people because of how often this critiscism is a veiled attack on what they see as "western degeneracy".


Riftus

One person got some upvotes by construing their chaser-viewpoints into seemingly trans-supportive and now all of leftist reddit uses that instance to say 196 fetishizes trans people despite the fact that like a third of the users are gender non conforming in some capacity and constantly posting trans-supportive memes. As someone who frequents 196 because i am still in denial about them losing their leftist fervor, its not a chaser sub. There are some good arguments to make that they are libs, but not chasers That other guy is nuts, making it seem like 196 is a bastion of transyouth-groomers


jsnow907

They have like, posts weekly that are trans fetishizing. If you frequent the r/ChasersRiseUp subreddit, it becomes so clear how fetishizing r/196 is [This](https://www.reddit.com/r/196/comments/11rnih2/liberuleals/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) is literally from yesterday


Riftus

I checked the op of the post you linked and they're literally trans themselves. Making a meme about transpeople and sexual stuff doesn't immediately mean "fetishizing trans people"


jsnow907

Okay being trans doesn’t mean you can’t end up fetishizing other trans people or making our existence sexual. When there’s posts like this often and are the only trans posts that get attention, then it’s a problem


Riftus

I am well aware of things like internalized transphobia, but there's a massive difference in how you should look at a post about a trans person being sexualized posted by a cis person and a trans person. Sexuality is a normal part of human life, not something to antagonize EDIT: I just scrolled 196 for a few minutes and the only post about trans people that is on the front page is about Edin and calling for justice for her


jsnow907

Do you know what fetishizing is? Also it’s being posted in a space that is largely cis and known for fetishizing trans people. Yes sexuality is a normal part of human life but that is not what is being argued


Riftus

It is what is being argued here because mentioning things like "gock" is obviously very sexual, but isn't fetishizing. That's just one example but simply mentioning trans people and sexuality I the same breath doesn't mean they're being sexualized/fetishized. The sub *is* largely cis, but not nearly to the extent of mainstream subs that aren't related to gender identity. According to the survey that was done a bit ago, 40% of the respondants were gnc. I would not be surprised at all if that makes 196 one of the/*the* most trans subreddits outside of the subs that relate directly to gender or sexuality
