Once again vindicated for not watching "BreadTube" slop.

One time someone on here tried to argue to me that reading theory was too hard and it's the same to just consume someone else's summary. Sounds great until your only knowledge of socialism is a convicted sex trafficker/pedophile YouTuber explaining to you how Lenin would have voted for Kamala

[-] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

Put it that way you're not wrong but:

I maintain that if a socialist movement actually requires a majority of its membership to have actually read every volume of capital cover to cover and be able to write a college level paper on the subject: we all might as well just take the black pill right here and now because comrade that just simply ain't gonna happen.

Reading theory should always be encouraged but like it or not: any organized mass movement is going to depend on people who are operating purely on the cliff notes.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Precisely why everyone should be encouraged to read theory, even if not everyone actually ends up doing it. The more people who have actually read theory, the more people can get away with having read the summary

As an English teacher, trust me when I say that no one is less under the illusion that everyone will do the assigned reading than me

Millions of socialists have not read theory, it's fine.

Edit: very anglo-online-centric responses here lol

[-] [email protected] 50 points 4 months ago

It really isn't fine. You don't have to read quickly or even that much, but please just read a few pages here and there.

[-] [email protected] 42 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Better hope they listen to a principled person who has actually read theory then rather than some Nazbol piece of shit

[-] [email protected] 26 points 4 months ago

Explains why we're losing

[-] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago

Yeah I've met those socialists and their opinions are bad and wrong

Unless the USA is just routinely this kind to traffickers (wouldn't be shocked) he is most certainly compromised and is a danger to any project he works with.

[-] [email protected] 74 points 4 months ago

They don't just give back seized property without some kind of legal action on the part of the convict, and if BE is right then there was no attempt by Beau's legal team to do so. Also the club fed switch-up around the same time doesn't really make sense unless he agreed to be an informant and got some compensation for it.

Also just coincidentally this guy is a typical american "anarchist" whose foreign policy beliefs line up 98% with the US's foreign policy, and any time elections come around his channel might as well be sponsored by the DNC because it's all vote shit. He's also close pals with a bunch of right wing libertarians who rant about "collectivism" being the enemy. Even if he's not owned by the feds he sucks from a to z.

[-] [email protected] 62 points 4 months ago

He believed the Islamic Jihad bombed the hospital and has called resistence fighters "terrorists." This "anarchist" is to the right of fucking vaush.

[-] [email protected] 48 points 4 months ago

wow, I haven't paid him any attention in years and I would never have expected him to go that far. Fucker's just an american "libertarian" who loves to see muslims murdered.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I've scrolled though his channel a bit. What little there is of recent gaza coverage seems fairly "liberal" which is an improvement I guess. flattened-bernie

[-] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago

I'm sure he's just trying to cover his own ass

[-] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

Spicy liberal

[-] [email protected] 44 points 4 months ago

I mean this dude has not said one critical thing about Ukraine the entire war so I figured he was hella fed.

The cope on r/BreadTube has been real

[-] [email protected] 57 points 4 months ago

Are they seriously defending this cretin? This motherfuckers case is literally cited in law school literature as a textbook example of predatory human trafficking

[-] [email protected] 51 points 4 months ago

Yes, there are multiple claiming he has been rehabilitated because he went through the US justice system and a lot of people dismissing Bad empanada because he's a tankie.

[-] [email protected] 51 points 4 months ago

claiming he has been rehabilitated

for those who didn't watch the video, according to the video Beau went to a type of prison rich white collar criminals normally goto, so if anything, it was more like a day care with networking opportunities.

[-] [email protected] 47 points 4 months ago

it was more like a day care with networking opportunities

And surprise surprise, this complete unknown comes out of nowhere and gets a highly successful "left wing" YouTube channel going, where he advocates for some leftist ideals but nothing particularly radical

Wonder how that happened

[-] [email protected] 30 points 4 months ago

That smells like OP

[-] [email protected] 50 points 4 months ago

breadtube sucks, tell a friend.

[-] [email protected] 45 points 4 months ago

hey I got told I had to tell you that breadtube sucks.

[-] [email protected] 43 points 4 months ago

I could swear I heard about this a few years ago, I think 2021.

[-] [email protected] 42 points 4 months ago

It was made public a little while back but "breadtube" radlibs refused to acknowledge it and still defend this creep - as can be seen in the subreddit pissing and moaning about the damn tankies trying to discredit this big wholesome boy 😢.

According to the libs a shortened sentence in a cushy federal lockup is more than enough penance and rehabilitation for traficking hundreds of vulnerable women. Sure he hasn't admitted anything but I'm sure his heart is changed 😊. Not like that irredeemable tankie fuckface BadEmpanada who perpetrated the unforgivable crime of being mean to a pedo streamer funny-clown-hammer

[-] [email protected] 30 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

theres a subreddit? oh the breadtub nerds, nevermind

edit: lmao there's a subreddit dedicated to the dude too

I hate when people act like someone has changed just because time has passed, when there's no indication of them growing or attoning for what they did.

[-] [email protected] 36 points 4 months ago

I swear I keep hearing about this like every few months by people rediscovering it happened. Can't really blame folks for that, but it's kind of beating the proverbial dead horse.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago

it's almost like we need some sort of mass party line to get everyone on the same page or whatever.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago

well if its any consolation, no serious party really gives a shit about the guy anyways because it's all internet nonsense meaning there's no need for any sort of party line

[-] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

Naah, we're on the same page. I'm just poking fun. This guy has been suspect from the rip and I'm naturally suspicious of anyone who took him serious in the first place.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago

I don't think there was ever a serious video or article laying out everything like this before so it is different.

[-] [email protected] 42 points 4 months ago

What a monster, seriously folks need to watch the whole video, the shit he got up to is chilling, straight up the plot of Taken shit

[-] [email protected] 27 points 4 months ago

Is something like this allowed in c/videos? I wasn't sure so I posted it here.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 4 months ago

I don't see why not, people should know what a predator this guy is, the video is straight up proper journalism

[-] [email protected] 22 points 4 months ago

Maybe slap a content warning on the title, always good to let people know

[-] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago

The sidebar doesn't explicitly forbid us from posting a video of someone else doing the dunking, and it kind of is as close as you can get to a direct link on this specific dunking, so I guess posting it here is actually the most appropriate option.

[-] [email protected] 41 points 4 months ago

I fucking knew this guy was fucked. His vibes were not right.

[-] [email protected] 40 points 4 months ago

we already knew this but it's nice to have so many receipts in one place

[-] [email protected] 32 points 4 months ago

I somehow got lucky and never seen any of Beau's content. This goes against all odds, as I've been presented many opportunities in the last few years, and I have intended to give him a fair try, and I have a crippling weakness for men with beards, but another video also just looked slightly more interesting each time.

I watched a few of his videos years back and they were alright, but the content itself wasn't super interesting and his fake southern good ol' boy schtick was painfully thin so I never kept up. Then I hear about this sometime during the official pandemic and refused to watch anything in passing anymore.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 4 months ago

My coworker who still talks about Ukraine when all the other libs have forgotten about the topic, and who previously tried to get me to watch Vaush, and used to regularly try to encourage me to GM adversarially in my Werewolf the Forsaken game when I gave my other coworker Cliff's notes on my sessions, has mentioned this slaver positively TWICE.

Uh, anyways, I don't think restorative justice is for slavers, or that even if it were you should be a multi-millionaire (with money made from your slaving) f-list YouTube celebrity when it's done.

Justin King should still be in prison.

If you want to ostracise Beau from the left the pathway to doing so has already been laid out by the anti-Vaush campaign. Create a masterlist of problems, write up bot responses for it, get it installed in as many leftwing subs as possible auto-responding to "Beau". You'd need to know people in those modteams for this, or know people that know people, most of the left will jump on-board if you get 2 or 3 well known ones doing it though.

A subreddit dedicated to the cause similar to EnoughVaushSpam is another possibility, but Beau might not be controversial enough to produce enough content to populate one.

This is all not really very difficult but requires someone with the motivation and time for it.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago

hell yeah dude

[-] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

I’m not gonna watch that video. What happened?
