I also still don't believe this Luigi guy is not just a patsy. So much shit is inconsistent, or just plain weird about this whole thing, and I would not at all put it past the NYPD to just act on a tip on someone that vaguely looks like one of the two, also inconsistent supposed pictures of the alleged shooter, and plant a gun and a hastily drawn up manifesto just so they can pretend they didn't get bamboozled and give anyone else ideas.
As the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Wyoming (Posadist), I led the charge in breaking away from the revisionist Communist Party of Wyoming (Maoist Third Worldist) and calling Hasan Piker (or someone that resembles Hasan Piker) a lib on the street.
"Book clubs and doing nothing"
Must be the reason why americans shit their pants and get all Mc Carthyist and fanatic when they suspect something's remotely communist.
Critical support to the Ultra that's wasting millions of Imperial funds by having an FBI, a Homeland Security, a CIA and an NSA agent spying on them reading Bordiga in an armchair.
Maybe it's time to not focus on Little Luigi and his motives but start making it about wasting millions of Imperial funds by having the FBI, Homeland Security, CIA and NSA and every cop in the country look for someone who only killed ONE guy.
Can we have a justification for why only a rich victim deserves all these resources?
JT going from making amusing apolitical science videos to tanking his own ad revenue and Curiositystream bux by pivoting to anti-capitalist content is the antithesis for general sellouty-ness of American leftists but yeah there is a trend.
Yeah I definitely respect the genuine believers like JT but even the people that are partly doing it for the money I don't really blame them. And even some people like Hasan (who I genuinely respect and recognize has done a lot of good and far more good than I'll ever do) have some really dumb takes (specifically about his wealthy lifestyle and how he justifies it, but failing to recognize there is a valid criticism and its environmental and not monetary because the environment can't support a lot of first world lifestyles). We are all capitalist subjects and pretty coerced into most of what we do so I don't actually have too much shade for the lefty media ecosystem. At least what they're putting out is good. Sellouts that go pure right wing are just trash obviously.
A bit rambling but I do find the streamer podcast etc phenomenon interesting. Like it's so much a parasocial thing.
I honestly think these things are the modern equivalent of the newspaper. In many cases reaching many more people. The issue however is pace of content production doesn't match print whatsoever. Several of these should have drastically expanded their operations using extra income that they don't personally need in order to produce content at the kind of rate it deserves. But instead of expanding the operation many are just pocketing it like every independent streamer is.
the WSJ should be writing articles about how ad revenue from Bad Empanada and 500 other youtube channels is arming third worldists; but instead they are just armchair quarterbacking AES countries.
Yeah even non political stuff from the left would be great. Nothing like listening or watching a video before realizing the creator is a bit of a libertarian and therefore everything coming out of their mouth is probably infantile nonsense lmao
