I’m not shocked at what he said, I’m just surprised he had the balls to say it after playing dumb for 12 months.

    Still not banned lol.

    Can someone say the same thing about how the isntrealis at the nova festival deserved to get killed for dancing on graves right outside a concentration camp?

    I had some impression of him as being a partially politically ignorant place, but I didn’t realize he was this over the top. I don’t know what Twitch’s track record is like on stuff like this, but if they don’t ban him, they’re implicitly greenlighting a whole hell of a lot of awful. I mean, even by liberal decorum standards, weak as they are for protecting anyone, this is beyond the pale.

    I forced myself to listen to it, too, to be sure I wasn’t being misdirected by exaggeration and it’s actually worse to listen to than the quotes make it sound.

      Yep, this was the guy with the picture that came out of his room being full of accumulated fast food drink cups and the like. White imperialist who lives in literal filth because he can’t even clean up after himself, who makes ranty internet videos for a living, saying others are an inferior culture. Western chauvinists have been trained to think like malignant psychopaths on a system wide level and they bark it out with mind-boggling levels of individualism, acting like they’re bravely saying original things when they’re repeating colonial tropes that are hundreds of years old. And I will take the opportunity to note here, in my experience, one of the benefits of reading communist theory is how humbling it is to realize how much shit has already been said by people who lived through it; at least for me, it helped with unlearning western exceptionalism brain. Mind you, I was already consciously trying to and still do, which is probably far from a full-throated genocidal colonizer like this piece of work, but I like to mention it as an aside because I know there’s a tendency in western thinkers to reinvent the wheel of ideology, thinking they’re so clever and independent of thought, when they’re just regurgitating basic shit that makes them a ghoulish tool.
