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”

Two things result from this fact:

I. Communism is already acknowledged by all European powers to be itself a power.

II. It is high time that Communists should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Communism with a manifesto of the party itself.

I remember watching a snippet of her one stream and she had on a “Please Be Patient With Me I Have Autism” hat on, way to mock autistic people you ass.

At worst that’s just straight bigotry, at best (if she’s autistic herself) it’s yet another instance of her trying to be “one of the good ones”.

That’s why I compare her to shoe0nhead. “Pick-me” leftists. Defining their political ideology by who is nicest to them on twitter. How long until she does a stream with Destiny where they congratulate each other on their reasonable, well-mannered discussion despite their “differing opinions?”

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 initially did anti-sjw content, then for a while she did anti-anti-sjw content (she was a radlib and a big bernie bro), and now she’s circled around to anti-anti-anti-sjw content. She did a “How the left failed men” video that made the rounds and YT won’t stop recommending it to me.

She had apparently become a bernie bro in 2020 and then steadily fell back into fascism.

She was getting flak for her use of the R-slur and then suddenly she announces that she’s autistic so she can pretend to have an R-word pass.

My questions to her are as follows:

  1. If you don’t have an intellectual disability, by what right do you claim your use of the R-word is legitimate?

  2. If you are implying that you’re reclaiming the R-slur then how are you using it in reverse discourse rather than perpetuating its use as a slur?

  3. If you feel you have a right to use this word because it’s been used against you then would you agree that, as a white person who has occasionally had the N-slur used against me, I also have a right to use the N-slur to denigrate others in the same way that you use the R-slur?

  4. I’m not questioning your self-diagnosis but if you, as a public figure, are openly announcing that you are autistic and positioning your use of slurs as activism, what other autistic activism have you engaged in and which of the prominent leaders in the autistic activism space do you defer to and take up the charge from as a newly-minted autistic activist yourself?

Even as a medically diagnosed autistic guy, I wouldn’t even consider using the R-word.

There isn’t a ‘pass’ for using it, as, unlike the N-word amongst African-Americans, it doesn’t come with any connotation of ‘friend’, or ‘shared heratige’ among neurodivergents. It is purely used derogatorily.

It reminds me of people who use the f-slur as a claim that they’re reclaiming it.

If your shtick is punching left I’m sorry but I am putting you in the same column as all the fascists punching left in terms of the outcome that your actions have.

Fuck Keffals.

westerners both want china to solve poverty in hong kong and fix all the problems there but also leave hong kong alone and end their “tyranny” or whatever. classic liberal double-standard.

Hong Kong recently sought to restrict golf courses and eliminate pod homes and replace them with normal apartments. I’m sure anti-communist leftists will be happy about this
