I’m saying that she’s a liberal and that we should stop acting like she Isint problematic. Not that she deserves to be cancelled
I would just like everyone to stop posting about her having good takes because of the extreme evidence to the contrary
Trump has genuinely good takes as well. The same can be said about him. Just because someone is right about something. Doesn’t mean we should promote them because she’s problematic
Look up contrapoints on all its insane how much she’s talked about here for a website with 8k members and it’s annoying when all these people promote her and her liberal ideology
stop paying attention to ecelebs god damn
i acknowledge the hypocrisy of saying this on a website named for a comedy podcast
I'm happy to say Cintra was one of the stepping stones in pulling Futher to the left and out of lib space.
I can say with certainty that she works on other libs too, and I've used her to radicalise members of my mother's group (like, a group of mums who had kids at the same time I'm a part of) of all things.
Does that mean I agree with everything she says? Hell no. Marx had some fucked up ideas about race, but I still encourage people to read him.
I say this all the time about the left, but I think it bears repeating. Sometimes we get so caught up with being ideologically pure that we forget that stepping stones exist for a reason. The right does not have this problem.
If you've got beef with contrapoints for her shitty NB stance, we should definitely say that; hell, say it to the people we link to her videos, but don't deny her role as an early part of a radicalizing force.
I'm not voting for Biden, but I really can't condemn anyone who feels like their safety or the safety of marginalized people would be improved by his getting elected, and he's the best of two bad options. I disagree with those people, but I don't think that makes them bad or anything.
purity test drivel
you don't have to go out of your way to vote for biden, but by every metric, his administration will be marginally better
i love my imperfect allies, it gives me a chance to persuade them by listening rather than shutting them out
There is not a single fucking person here who doesn’t know that ContraPoints is a liberal but she’s a radlib and has deradicalized a number of angry young men and led them to the left and that is fucking invaluable. We don’t need a lecture on how she liked a fucking tweet about voting, especially not when she’s done actual problematic things like her bad NB takes or hiring Buck Angel for some reason.
Go back to bed.
dont you have to like, go out of your way, to see what other people are liking? Why the fuck would you waste your time? Likes don't mean anything more than "elicited a possible dopamine hit" Why don't you go investigate fascists instead of trying to purity gate shit by obsessing over a youtubers twitter, that is often run by someone else entirely.
if i hear the phrase 'purity test' one more time i will personally ask xi to send the dongfengs. shjut the fuck up
so what do you call it when people are treated with contempt for having a wrong opinion? you wanna go with cancel culture?
Lol remember when contrapoints did a skit in one of her videos where a stereotypical trans girl with an antifa flag and a cat ear headband argued with a right-wing transmedicalist and the antifa girl was portrayed as overly emotional with no solid talking points meanwhile the transmedicalist was composed and cool? Haha what an ally.
I mean that’s one way of reading it. I would say that the ‘transmedicalist’ (I think that’s an exaggeration but it’s been a while since I watched it) was cold and too ‘pragmatic’ . It’s pretty obvious that contra is portraying her own internal dialogue and endorsing neither position.
