      Hence the double quotes I suspect.

      If you don’t know him, that person is a ytuber called Vaush - having only a couple of videos of him he strikes me as one of the most untruthful people on this planet.

      He is a radlib who tries to argue on the basis on marx’ and lenins work to “vote blue no matter who”. I’ve seen him claim Marx today would’ve been a Biden staffer for example. He also is unable to see the programmatic imperialism behind neoliberal concepts such as free trade agreements like NAFTA and defends these conceptually. He effectively hordes socialist leaning youths back into supporting the status quo so I wouldn’t wonder if one day it is revealed that the FBI secretly funds him

      I think he is said to have pleaded for the legalization of consensual sexual relationships with underaged children, hence the reference.

      Edit: No idea if he actually defended pedophilia. Personally I wouldn’t think that he meant it. I am not an expert on Vaush (luckily) I only mentioned the accusations bc it is what tripped up the commenter.

          Unfortunately, that user is not lying.

          On top of everything else, Vaush engages in ableist, racist, transphobic, and sexist language, unapologetically.

          He’s a genuine piece of excrement

              I just don’t trust people (like the person above) who […] casually go “I think they’re a pedophile”

              Oof, dude you make me feel bad for giving you a good faithed response after your first comment.

              For someone who urges to be careful with accusations you are pretty grossly misrepresenting my comment here

              non-ironically throw around terms like “radlib”

              I don’t throw it around like Vaush throws around “red-fascist”, “tankie”, “antisemite” and every other slur , I use it specifically for someone who draws upon radical aesthetic in the abstract but supports the capitalist, imperialist status-quo in the specific.

              You can chose to be offended by that, but Vaush is the definition of a radlib

              Honestly I have only ever used it for him. Thinking of it I might use “Vaushite” in the future which has the added benefit of visually representing the fact that his disingenious output is nothing but a thin layer around “shit”

              It’s pretty well known and easy to verify, but I have no interest in googling this reprehensible being. If you’ve listened to him in the past, then I do wish you a swift recovery. Cheers.

      It’s from a clip of that steamer taken out of context.

      Or more accurately clipped in such a way to make what he said be the opposite of the point he was making.

      Basically he was debating someone and was saying that the exploitation of children is wrong in all aspects. He phrased his point poorly and it was clipped.

      The streamer (Vaush) is actually pretty based on a lot of things.

    lmao everyone in the comments running to defend throwing babies into gas chambers just to make 1 ingredient for an otherwise vegan meal.

    I find it amusing that people’s obnoxious desire to be a White Saviour extends even to animals. It is now doubly funny that vegans appear to be cozying up to fascists in their mad quest. Definitely paints veganism in a good light.

    None of the above.

    I’m the humble contrarian.

    You might have a good point, but you’re being self-righteous and smug. I’m ordering a turkey sandwich because your lack of humility irritates me and I want to piss you off.
