As a leftist, I can relate. Thought Slime annoys me sometimes.
Thought slime has some mixed-quality takes, but is, above all else a wokescold crybully, making them incredibly toxic and counter-productive.
I only watch their youtube videos and don’t really get that vibe from them. Am I missing some drama context or could you elaborate what makes them so bad?
I haven’t watched their content in a couple of years now, but there was a series of bad takes on Twitter, a hell of a lot of cringe, toxicity, self-centeredness, and performative self-victimisation, The main drama I saw was with Xanderhall and Vaush. On the other side of it, they’ve done a string of collaborations with varying levels of success.
Their videos were generally OK, if a little basic with some flawed analysis. They chose some interesting subjects, but their content took a meaningful dip not long after they came out as NB (I hope I don’t have that wrong?). Hopefully the dip was just a short-term product of some of the stress and distraction, but their content wasn’t strong enough to get me through it and I checked out.
If you like the content, you like it, and there’s nothing wrong with that - it’s not horrible, I just thought it stopped being worth watching (though hope that’s changed).
Loathing your own (and probably yourself) isn’t the W you think it is
You’re right, from now on I will agree with things I hear from anyone without being critical.
Hate immigrants, hey, me too. Hate taxes, hey me too. Hate brown people, hey me too. Capitalism is flawless, hey I think so too. Harming minorities is fine, hey I think so too. Heil Hitler, Heill Hitler.
Strange, how did I get here?
Good false dichotomy, really shows that you assume there’s only agreeing and disagreeing with other people and grounding your principles and axioms isn’t a thing.
Slow down there buddy. My post was sarcastically worded thought experiment. You can’t derive my assumptions from that alone. My intent was to show that not grounding things and being uncritical will have bad outcomes, do you disagree? Yes, leftists take an L because our discourse is painful, but the alterative is worse in my opinion.
I think you can agree and disagree with individual statements, people are, for the most part, to complex to put into a box. I also think grounding is important.
Yeah, your experiment kinda sucked. The thing is, lefties can’t just agree to disagree and still collaborate or even just move on with their lives. It has to be harsh disagreement over the most miniscule points and “reading theory” mostly involves doomscrolling Twitter
I agree that politicaly most leftist are aligned at the first handful of steps that should be taken and that sometimes the infighting can get in the way. If this is what you meant by your original post I would agree with you, but your original post lacked the specificity.
Yeah, your experiment kinda sucked.
Any reason in particular or are you just maulding?
First of all it’s malding and second, good try with the usual tactics of crying “are you mad? are you mad? are you mad?" when receiving the slightest push back on anything.
Other than the fact that your so called" thought experiment" was kinda gay to begin with, it lacks any understanding of how actual people come to any of their political opinions. Example: I sincerely do love capitalism. It is a great system that lifts people out of abject poverty and it’s major downsides are mostly addressed in liberal democracies. The reason I believe that is that I understand how capitalism succeeded and socialism failed over and over again whenever it was tried.
Okay so the only thing of value I got out of your post above was that capitalism isn’t bad. A perfectly normal thing for somebody to do when they’re not mad is write a bunch of ad homs with one point. But that is besides the point.
About the capitalism thing. I never said it was bad. In fact, I think capitalism has been good for humanity. But we are fast approaching a time where it will do more harm than good.
All I was implying was that capitalism isn’t flawless. And the people who think it is are idiots.
