Some problematic interactions with alt right type stuff
(this gives “traditional family values” vibes)
Do expect him to conform to your ideas of approved right think?
Ironic.
But also some cool anticapitalist takes
And some weird ass takes
I appreciate you posting his takes from every side. Idk wtf to think about this fish one.
Edit - oh just saw the date, he was like 16 when he posted that. I posted stupider weird shit at 36 so I’ll give that weird one a pass.
Ohhh I just shared the fish one cuz I thought it was funny and cute and humanising.
My conclusion is he wasn’t a pure ideological leftist like many of us here. But he shared similar critiques of capitalism and grievances.
And on the culture war side of things, he seems to have been more “centrist” ie. taking some points from “both sides”. Which in my opinion is problematic, but also shows we might have more in common with the populist right than we think. A lot of them are deeply critical of heirarchy and inequality similar to us (although they end up supporting billionaires 🤦).
Ya, that's really giving off woman-are-baby-receptacles vibes without ever addressing women except as their physiology ("pocket pussies") or sexuality (dancers), which makes it worse. Not to mention it completely misses the point of why people arent procreating.
It seems really weird (and racist) to criticize a culture you aren't ingrained in with such odd specificity.
agreed
I don't see how #1 and #2 are problematic. #2 might be, but I'd need to see the video.
Unless your argument is that anything remotely positive about Tucker Carlson or Peter Thiel is automatically bad?
That just shows how lemmy would be willing to eat alive anyone being able to critically think instead of repeating their pre-recorded mantras on what's good and what's bad.
You're ridiculous, and probably 18.
