Hence the double quotes I suspect.
If you don’t know him, that person is a ytuber called Vaush - having only a couple of videos of him he strikes me as one of the most untruthful people on this planet.
He is a radlib who tries to argue on the basis on marx’ and lenins work to “vote blue no matter who”. I’ve seen him claim Marx today would’ve been a Biden staffer for example. He also is unable to see the programmatic imperialism behind neoliberal concepts such as free trade agreements like NAFTA and defends these conceptually. He effectively hordes socialist leaning youths back into supporting the status quo so I wouldn’t wonder if one day it is revealed that the FBI secretly funds him
I think he is said to have pleaded for the legalization of consensual sexual relationships with underaged children, hence the reference.
Edit: No idea if he actually defended pedophilia. Personally I wouldn’t think that he meant it. I am not an expert on Vaush (luckily) I only mentioned the accusations bc it is what tripped up the commenter.
Unfortunately, that user is not lying.
On top of everything else, Vaush engages in ableist, racist, transphobic, and sexist language, unapologetically.
He’s a genuine piece of excrement
I guess I should have made it more clear, that I was only trying to summarize sentiment about Vaush for you to understand the reference, I was not making anything up
To be clear: I do not remember nor care what exactly Vaush argued for in that video people point to as I have no interest in wasting more time with Vaush. Personally I don’t believe he would defend pedophilia and just wants to be edgy.
When I said “It is said” I meant it to be understood like “people say that about him” not that it were common knowledge. I apologize if my English was not on point.
I think your accusation towards me making something up isn’t fair but I agree with your notion of being careful with the topic in general so I will edit my original comment to reflect that I can’t and won’t weigh in on the debate on whether he did or did not defend pedophilia.
I know nothing about Vaush, but I do know abut Aaron Swartz. In this archived page he argued for legalizing the possession and distribution (not sure if that contains production) of child porn since “We don’t arrest everyone with videotapes of murders, or make it illegal for TV stations to show people being killed” and all you need to get arrested is click on a download link or join an online group (no matter whether or not you delete it or if you knew it was child porn). He also says something about it not being abuse before arguing that.
Honestly I’m not sure what to think about that, but it still makes me think OP’s meme was put out to slander groups through strawmen. It does not help that I can’t figure out which parts of OP’s meme are satire.
It’s from a clip of that steamer taken out of context.
Or more accurately clipped in such a way to make what he said be the opposite of the point he was making.
Basically he was debating someone and was saying that the exploitation of children is wrong in all aspects. He phrased his point poorly and it was clipped.
The streamer (Vaush) is actually pretty based on a lot of things.
That wil convince many people and help them accept that you are a fucking idiot and should rethink your life choices
Missing the all important - don’t care option, which I feel the vast majority of people would fall into
Scumbag checking in.
It doesnt, its pretty normal to be vegan. Do what you know feels right.
I think some of it is people Know it is the right thing to do, and veganism aligns better with their moral stance, but they are not ready to try it. Or they perform mental gymnastics as to why its okay and you are wrong. When people give you a hard time about veganism, its really them having an internal battle with themselves, and you just happen to be the one triggering it and thus its your fault.
