Some people don’t believe me when I try to warn them about the content creator grift. I don’t care, I’m coming for all of them if they start spouting shit like this to their audience. They have a responsibility towards their viewers.

Second time I see him tweet shit like this.

At this point he should just stop pretending he’s any sort of leftist. His mental health will thank him.

    Just to play devil’s advocate here- Yugo is specifically talking about Americans, not a racial, ethnic or religious group. And dialectical materialism does start with the idea the material conditions play a large role in determining how people think. It sounds to me like he is critiquing the stupidity of America as a whole, not that he is being a na I and saying exterminate because they are all vermin.

      He says he doesn’t know what he’s talking about and that it’s just his beliefs, in the tweet itself.

      He could make the exact same point, while omitting genetics entirely and it’d still land without dipping into eugenics. That’s the issue here.

      With that being said I feel equally uncomfortable with how yugopnik’s mental health is told to be in jeopardy because he pretends to be a leftist?

      and why is the solution for him to pretend to be one and not to seek out a real life community to engage with instead of this shithole that is X?

      I know things are super tense right now everyone is on the edge so we’re gonna be making lots of mistakes, but let’s not start telling people to give up. We’re acting like crabs in a bucket here while the fascists are arming themselves to kill us.
