Sounding like Alex Jones is when you consider American foreign policy since the turn of the 19th century

Do I think the narrative of xer being a traitor of some kind would have blown up if he didn’t have a variety of marginalized statuses?

Lol large part of why this blew up was because this person admitted to cashing checks from Lockheed for 15 years and having a loving enough family that covered their expenses, but still playing up a poverty porn narrative to grift on Patreon. Class lines are important, so why the identitarian emphasis on a situation that is more than just that?

It's also just facts that the highly unpredictable nature of weather events is going to also impact the global north as well. The idea that large waves of people moving up north are going to be gunned down in some form of grotesque northern solidarity doesn't really seem all that plausible to me when it's more likely that the global north is going to be imploding from within due to climate upheaval as well.

This situation has lead to libs trying their hardest not to admit that Cawthorn looks hot, chuds trying their hardest to make Cawthorn seem hot without sounding homoerotic, and stuck in the middle are a bunch of horny straight women and queer individuals hoping Cawthorn falls within their spectrum of queerness

Ridiculous timeline though I guess that goes without saying

"Thanks Putin" has become the lib version of "Thanks Obama"

Only second to Iran-Contra in the list of worst Contras

Also I got around to looking into CP more, and what do you know, used to be some 4chan adjacent determinist atheist edgelord back in the day. Of course people can change but it's all a bit too much on the nose.

Yep, and it's also why someone like a Kissinger is so revolting - it's US hegemony above all else. Here's an excerpt from a Politico piece a few years ago, detailing Kissinger's relativism:

For instance, Kissinger’s five year bombing of Cambodia (which, by credible estimates, killed 100,000 civilians), along with his “savage” (Kissinger’s word) bombing of North Vietnam, was motivated by the opposite of realism: to try to bring about a world Kissinger believed he ought to live in (one in which he could, by the force of military power, bend peasant-poor countries like Cambodia, Laos and North Vietnam to his will) rather than reflect the real world they did live in: one in which, try as he might, he was unable to terrorize weaker nations into submission. “I refused to believe that a little fourth-rate power like North Vietnam does not have a breaking point,” Kissinger once complained.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the lab leak theory basically say that the virus was isolated in nature and then brought to the lab for research? Even if it was true I don't see how that changes anything. It would still be human error involved and not some insidious scheme from China to destroy the world (like why the fuck wouldn't you just release it in the US, EU etc). It sure as shit wouldn't absolve these large countries for their failures to deal with the virus either.

It's clear from watching some of these videos that Vaush is an op, and that's further cemented by his imperialistic China v US takes. I've only started checking his stuff out recently, and I'm not even sure why there's a debate about him on the left. The guy seems to clearly be an asset, operating in a very relevant space for leftists (twitch, youtube, etc).
