Super cool!

“Everyone to the left of me cannot be principled, they all must be a hive-mind!!!111!!11!”

Lol. Believing empathy is important doesn’t mean that everyone deserves it. Fascists deserve none.

I know he has some relevancy, but he’s a transphobic and ableist fuck, I don’t think we should be caring much about him or his takes.

Rest in Piss bozo! I hope the bullet is okay.

I totally get that distrust because I used to think like that too.

The problem with this line of thinking is that, in my case at least, it came from a misunderstanding of how governments/states actually work due to intense propaganda, specially by right winger politicians that keep pushing this type narrative. Different types of states function differently.

All these issues you list are deeply linked with whose class controls the state, it’s not an issue with the state itself.

then the state can silence anyone they disagree with by labeling them as part of the bourgeoisie

That would be extremely hard to do. Being part of the bourgeoisie is a material condition, so unless you tick all the boxes that makes you part of it, there’s no conceivable way to simply label someone that in a socialist society just because. Furthermore, socialist societies have mechanisms of true popular democracy in place so people have a much bigger participation in politics, if such a problem would arise, people could do something about it, which goes in complete contrast to what happens in capitalist countries like the USA where, like you mentioned, you can simply be labeled an antisemite for protesting against the genocidal entity of Israel, can then be beat by the police for protesting the genocide and even sent to prison.

The thing here is that we need to look at how this is happening in real life right now. Are socialist states (Cuba, China, Laos, Vietnam, DPRK) doing that? As far as I know, no. Are capitalist ones doing that? Yes. So that in itself already suggests something is different in these states.

In fact, the reason why in the west you get labeled antisemitic for protesting against the genocide is directly linked with the bourgeoisie since it is in their interest that Israel continue existing. Biden himself admitted back in 1986 that the existence of Israel furthers US’s interests in the region. So showing solidarity with Palestine goes directly against the US’s bourgeoisie interests. That’s why you’re attacked by the state for that.

Then you’re lacking class consciousness. Every state serves a class over another. In capitalist societies, it’s the bourgeoisie over the proletariat. In a socialist society it’s the opposite.

You can easily observe this in how basically all of western media is owned by a few companies that dictate what information gets to you.

Furthermore, not everyone deserves freedom of speech. Nazis should have 0 right to that.

Hell yeag! If China manages to at least put pressure on Nvidia and AMD it would already be great.

Western Marxist try not to side with the empire and believe their lies challenge (impossible)

Highly qualified means a Cop that promised unwavering support for Israel in their struggle to fully genocide and colonize Palestine. Fuck off.

Yeah go tell that to the Palestinians being genocided right now.

That doesn’t mean that person is an expert on China just because they lived there. They could very well be wrong, and in fact they are. You don’t have to take my word for it, the Brazilian YouTuber Felipe Durante has lived in China for years, and continues to do so, and he goes in the complete opposite direction than the person saying “I lived there and censorship no one knows anything” in this thread.

Why should I take this random person word instead of the one I can literally see is in China?

You really think no one knew what Nazi Germany was up to and that it should have been the USSR’s job to tell the world? lmao

Fair enough. I’ll update my original comment.

Nah, you’re excusing his behavior. He could have cursed in Swedish instead of using a racially charged word. The fact that he knew the word, knew it was bad, it came to his mind and used it is too much to be a “heated” moment.

And even if it was, there’s literally no excuses. His content is in English and his main audience is USians.

Sure thing. These people were both on his YouTube comments and on his subreddit. Tho I remember it being worse at the subreddit.

The issue is not that Nazis will watch his content, that’s outside of anyone’s control, but that his content funnels people into right-wing ideologies, which attracts these types of people.

The video “The PewDiePipeline” that I linked talks about this better than I could.
