Vaush is the chad grifter. Kristi Winters is the queen of being disingenuous. Contrapoints is just mostly good at being dishonest.

The only honest actor among them I've witnessed so far is Destiny. But he's annoying as fuck, cause he's more interested in winning than just having an open discussion. Which makes him constantly be on the attack in any conversation, and leaves him looking like a prick.

Destiny isn't really in that "crowd". He's a bit left leaning but not a socialist, currently he's on a streak debating socialists. He also defended Rittenhouse and got his Twitch partnership revoked for getting angry at the riots and saying people need to defend themselves (or something like that I don't remember exactly).

@matrix
No, Destiny is plenty left. It's just that unlike most socialists, he actually has some honesty in him and a spine too.

@alyx @matrix destiny is not a socialist (but only because the establishment isn't)

@colonelj @matrix
Oh, he's definitely leaning towards socialism. He's just not as far gone as others, and he's a lot more willing to talk to outsiders. Also, because he actually tries to follow his principles, he won't go say completely insane things like you don't have a right to self defense.

@matrix
Probably. Depends a lot on how you define/understand these labels.

From my own perspective, American soc dem is just a poor attempt to distance themselves from the bad stigma of socialism, but anywhere else in the world, they'd probably just get called socialists anyway.

@matrix @alyx

Destiny debated an academic recently(Wolff), Wolff just comes as a pompous asshole so much tbh, pretty common for a marxist professor to be that way too

even Vaush sided with Destiny on that debate lmao
@matrix @alyx

socialism is when your taxes pay professors to talk on twitch
@orekix @matrix @alyx I saw this comment out-of-context and honestly, it sounds amazing (if you replace Twit-ch with PeerTube or LBRY (preferably PT))

@matrix @orekix
I'm planning to watch PSA Sitch's "debunk" stream on it, but it's a fucking 10 hours long video... so not sure when I'll do it.

@orekix @matrix @alyx i saw an explanation by wolff recently on why the labour theory of value is actually really totally true and it was some high-grade apologia worthy of a theology professor

you have to believe that Marx was right in order to be converted and understand him, credo ut intelligam
