9 days agoThat wouldn’t be specific to chuds, though. It’d affect people across the spectrum and probably would hit poor people the hardest.

He’s one of the co-hosts of the Deprogram podcast and this eugenics take is simultaneously consistent with some of the edgy stuff that the hosts of the pod say for humor, and inconsistent because they usually hold the line on some basic things like queerphobia, ableism, misogyny, etc. (in a broad sense, they’ve probably always been flawed)
8·10 days agoIt’s a Tradcath account. They have a YouTube channel that posts videos with revisionist narratives about the Crusades, the Inquisition, colonization, and anything that makes the Catholic Church look bad. I assume he’s just not against China and is in a right wing space that is otherwise very anti-China, so that’s why he’s dying on this hill? Kinda weird because most Catholics who aren’t on the far left aren’t fans of China for interfering with the Vatican’s authority to name bishops and for regulating Christian missionary work. I wonder how this guy squares that circle.
The only thing I can suspect is that the Vatican has been more conciliatory towards China in the past decade for a variety of reasons, so maybe this guy is following the lead. But usually Tradcaths aren’t huge fans of the Vatican because Trad-catholicism as an online phenomenon, and as a real-world one in a more limited fashion, is more concerned with the aesthetics of the Church than the actual religion. Really, the whole thing is about fetishizing what Catholicism was before Vatican II, i.e. before it was modernized. So usually guys like this have such a reactionary worldview it would be unthinkable for them to praise the PRC, even out of some paleo-conservative sentiment of not wanting the West to interfere with other countries (if they believed this, why glorify the Crusades?).
TLDR: This person is deeply unserious and probably grifting.

You’re giving him way too much credit. If there’s widespread lead poisoning that’s causing cognitive decline for millions of people, there will be communists among those millions of people. To think otherwise is wrong for 2 huge reasons:
It goes without saying that leftists need to believe that change is possible; that doesn’t mean being naive about how hard that’s gonna be for American fascists, or even to believe that redeeming every single one of them is necessary. But you at least need to believe that there’s nothing that’s baked into reactionaries that makes them reactionary, or else you’re halfway to accepting an aristocratic and austere worldview where you set out to give comfort only to the sensitive and noble people, and nothing but hard labor to the brutes. In other words, you may as well drop Marx and pick up Nietzsche.
