It almost reads like it's supposed to be an apology for her previous liberalism.
Did she apologize for her shitty "vote for Biden" video though?
True, but I just hate the "vote blue no matter where" crowd. Telling voters in New York and Texas to vote for Biden is total bullshit advice. People in safe states should be told to vote for the leftmost candidate possible at the presidential level or vote with their feet come the general if they are really so fucking scared.
Breaking news, :LIB: supports conservative :LIB: over moderate :LIB:
:amerikkka:
I really should hurry and escape this place before it's too late.
That's one of my problems, I have no idea where to go.
:ukkk: :france-cool: :germany-cool:
Where is an ML welcome?
acquire a warrant for your arrest and seek asylum amongst the Cubans or Chinese
My wife has dual citizenship so I can leave :zizek-joy:
It’s British citizenship :zizek-fuck:
Is anyone surprised by this? Contrqpoints has always been a liberal, I don't think she's even made an attempt to hide it or anything.
It's more people on left circles of the internet desperately hoping that she's not a lib.
Yeah this sucks but isnt something scandalous lol she's never been a socialist
Yeah her top comment on the AMA is literal great man theory. Like yeah organisers are important and vastly undervalued in modern movements, but they need a group of class and imperialist conscious people to actually, y'know, organise.
But does anyone expect anything different from liberals?
But in Natalie’s earlier work it was clear that contrapoints (a vaguely ultra left lib) was one political character, in a conversation with others (tabby, Justine, foppington, whatever her leather fash character was called)
Let's add Natalie to the list of people that we all need to stop paying attention to or posting about. If I wanted to see a :LIB: say certified :LIB: shit every day I'd just go on Twitter.
see a :LIB: say certified :LIB: shit every day I’d just go on Twitter
But you're already at the number one website for libshit takes on the internet - Hexbear
Meanwhile the further COVID drags on the more Biden dabbles into straight up eugenics...
Starting to get the idea that we can't pull him left folks
Fabians were eugenicists.
We just need to convince Biden to read more George Bernard Shaw.
"It's better to have Biden, so we can pressure him, right?"
Progressives: "Yes! Vote Blue no Matter Who!"
"Ok, he's in, let's pressure him"
Progressives: :bugs-no: :blob-no: :wojak-nooo:
incredible stupidity, borderline a traitor to transdom lmao
but hey that one hillary staffer made it slightly easier to change your 200 dollar passport 12 years ago so yass queen
and we've had no positive political changes since outside of state stuff (and even then it sucks a lot) :blob-no-thoughts:
Her reasoning is that she only goes as "far left" as she sees possible in mainstream US discourse, so yeah pretty USA brained unfortunately.
To make contapoints a communist we need successful Maoist revolution in the USA lmaooo.
she'd be angry at maoists because theyd censor her for being booj and not let her make hundreds of thousands off of pouring milk on herself for the entertainment of youtube
Natalie we are seizing your means of production. Hand over the cat ears, the light gels, and the gallon of 2%
she only goes as “far left” as she sees possible in mainstream US discourse
so she's 100% liberal and therefore completely useless
Lenin was right about them.
As he was about many other things.
She’s said before that if the US elections were ever “postponed”, she would transition into Tabby unironically. So all we gotta do to radicalize Natalie is get Trump elected in 2024 and wait until 2028.
But I mean if a Maoist revolution is on the table, shit…
Yeah that's how liberals operate unfortunately. Only radical when the opposition is in power. Look at how many "leftist radicals" disappeared overnight after Biden's inauguration.
I’ve had to go through my friend list and determine who’s just gone back in the closet vs who was never a socialist in the first place. Social media is such a dogshit way to gauge political sentiment tbh
I appreciate the effort 2x
First for adding the globe emoji, second for using the eastern hemisphere one.
Also come on, progressive libs are annoying, in a way that even chuds aren’t.
An open enemy is less enraging than a false friend.
Hey, we Anarchists are also here, and some of us even pretended to read Manufacturing Consent in which this phenomenon is well explained!
Literally the same paragraphs she admits she was in the wrong.
This isnt dunking on a random person for only this reason. We only dunk it as exemplary of her very much pronouned liberalism because she has shows that non stop and without "getting better". One of her latest videos was about how socialists and workers did or do revolutions just out of envy for the rich
"Philosophy major doing a two-hour video essay purposefully misrepresenting Marx" wasn't on my 2021 hellworld bingo card, but it was on my :cia: bingo card.
There's a part of me that wants to watch that garbage cuz "c'mon it can't be that fucking stupid"
She compares it to her confusion when she sees a woman she's attracted to, "do I want to fuck her or do I want to be her" "Do I want to end capitalism or do I secretly want to be Jeff Bezos"
She wrote an entire video essay on this very conservative talking point and that's when I knew she couldn't be "fixed".
"People is not angry cuz their loved ones are dying of preventable diseases, no no, they just want to shag the doctors cuz they are sexy and rich."
All politics do be sexual pathologies for libs.
“yes actually I deserve to consume 100x of the labor I produce because I’m so smart and popular.”
Does anyone with a murican university degree has ever been in presence of someone who might have read a person badly explaining this point? Cuz I'm pretty sure they don't
Wonder what the "vote Biden for harm reduction" people are thinking now, with COVID 19 out of control, and no stimulus or vaccine mandate or lockdowns. And Republicans just taking away women's rights state by state.
Was always a terrible philosophy
Most of that battle with reproductive rights was lost by Trump appointing all those judges. They’ve been lining up these legal battles and stuffing judge positions with Federalist Society members for decades. If you wanna talk about political conspiracies and shady societies, I’d love to hear what mask-off conversations happen when Liz Warren’s old buddies spout off.
The idea that voting should be the principle way of interacting with your government is liberal brainworms regardless
Yeah ever since roe vs wade Republicans have been scheming to overturn it.
Still don't get why Biden is on the "COVID 19, it's over Jack" train. @LeftistJoeBiden please explain what the hell the other Biden is doing?
What happened to the plan?
The plan was to have the country vaccinated and the infrastructure bill passed by July
…lol
Turns out when you give a reptile person adrenochrome they get stronger. Since the other Biden escaped, I’ve been hiding out in the white house air vents like I’m Sigourney Weaver in the first Alien movie. Already killed 72 lobbyists with trip wires and a homemade garrote (left it in water so it would get rusty).
Just for you, I went and grabbed a photo of the damn thing: https://hexbear.net/post/182335
Most of the battle with reproductive rights was lost when the liberals never once floated a single reproductive rights bill after the 1973 decision when they had the power to do so.
"Yeah but Trump would have been worse" os what I usually hear from lib friends
Maybe, but at least more hogs would have got vaccinated with the Trump ™ vaccine. And the overall status of the USA won't change regardless of the president.
Yeah it's quite funny how may libs think the president will just magically fix everything, and when they don't they just go full cope.
In the other hand, when presidents do want to get shit done, shit gets done. Of course that never includes good things for people
Yeah it's always war and imperialism, never something actually good.
I just had an image of our big wet boy throwing vaccine syringes into a frantic crowd like he did with the paper towels in PR after the hurricane.
Lmaoooo.
Trump getting dog the bounty Hunter style people to shoot people with blowdart vaccinations.
:thicc-trump: you love it folks! The studly soldier shot! The Handsome Generals and Genius Army Doctors made it special for you!
He very well might have been. But he would’ve been more entertaining about it. So many libs went back to brunch.
Some stopped posting immediately after November(lmao). Some continued posting but became less lib(still lib). Some got downvoted to hell.
People need to stop pretending that people who make left content on the internet are going to bring the revolution. They're not. It's just entertainment from people who probably aren't outright white nationalists.
The workers are going to choose the future. It's up to us to make sure they don't choose fascism, but the choice is ultimately theirs.
Hi Natalie, just wondering what you think has changed the most about your personal politics in the last 5 years or so?
In some ways I've moved further left as my preconceptions about what is politically possible in the US have expanded. In 2016 I was a Hillary supporter because I didn't think a candidate self-identifying as a "socialist" would have more than fringe appeal. That turned out to be wrong. I now think it's likely we will see major economic reform/restructuring sometime in my lifetime. In other ways I have become more pessimistic. The longevity of Trumpism, the mainstreaming of conspiracy theories, truth-indifference, and opposition to democracy in the Republican Party show that this country has real potential to sink lower than I previously imagined.
