Ok so I’ll play out this thought experiment. If Hasan had Obama on his stream it would depend. If he just treated him like a friend and was excited to see him, that would piss me and his community off, but if he asked him some serious questions. Like why didn’t you prosecute the bush admin for war crimes, why did you let everyone off the hook for 2008, how do you feel about all the drone strikes after getting a nobel peace prize, how do you feel about being known as the deporter in chief, why did you pass a private healthcare instead of a public option, do you feel responsible for rise of trump and fascism… I have a feeling Hasan would ask these questions and that’s probably why Obama would never be on his stream.
So you have to ask yourself, why was Hillary not afraid to be grilled with similar questions that would hold her accountable?
“So what’s it like being the first Nobel Peace Prize recipient to drone strike another Nobel Peace Prize recipient?”
She deliberately doesn’t say Hasan because she knows she’d be laughed at for comparing herself to him. She isn’t in the left while Hasan is.
Also people with actual political power are spending time trying to make Hasan the scape goat for all Democratic failures while Natalie Wynn is being called out for things she did by twitter accounts with a thousandth of her follower count.
I’m not entirely sure how cynical I should be but she might also be trying to bait transphobic attacks to turn it around and argue all criticism of Me/Clinton/Harris is misogyny
She’s definitely implying misogyny even without transphobia. But yeah there’s a bait in there too.
This wouldn’t impress me. Grilling a fucking mass murderer isn’t helping.
What if he literally grilled him tho
You’d probably need badempanada to go that far.
unfortunately I think he’d easily beat BE’s ass. :(
Maybe. Obama looks in shape.
HASAN DOESNT HAVE THE BALLS TO GRILL HIM
Yeah I doubt he would
I mean, what else can Hasan do with Obama? At the very least, it would be satisfying to watch.
he could take the L and do something extremely cool
Not worth it for a netflix producer imo
Can we actually stop writing fanfiction?
Hasan is a trillion times better than Contra but he is just not the type to ask the though questions, afaik be tried to reach out to Obama but it didn’t go through, he never asked AOC or Bernard anything even though they’re pretty fine with the genocide that was going on, I can’t see him looking Obama in the eyes and telling him he’s a murderer, neither can I see him telling Gavin Newsom he’s a piece of shit IF the supposed interview with him happens.
EDIT: The genocide that IS STILL GOING ON. My bad gang, it makes it way fucking worse.
well yes, i’ve been mad about obama joking about drone striking his daughter boyfriends for a decade at this point, so what up
you can watch a testimony of, i think, a pakistan girl about how clear skies fill her with dread of killing to come, and then watch that joke back to back, and then stay mad about obama for a lifetime
Remember a headline going something like “middle eastern children afraid of blue skies” because that’s when the drones are out to hunt.
Demonic levels of evil.
I’m supposed to simultaneously believe Kkkontrapoints is a leading intellectual figure with clever biting insight while also that she’s constantly flinging shit on twitter. She’s threatened to quit the internet like five times now and always comes back.
Also I would expect any rational human to attempt to strangle Clinton or Obama if they were in arm’s reach.

She’s like a bizarro Jordan Peterson lmao
That’s how disconnected she is from her audience. Lol.
ZionistPoints is friends with Hillary Clinton, whose husband is a pedophile and both are okay with that fact.
“Mentioning I’m a shitlib is akchually misogyny”
Imagine thinking anyone is mad at her for who she talks to instead of for how excited she is for all the blood those people spill
“…Oh, sorry, didn’t recognize you without the Victorian period costume, elaborate set pieces, and bisexual lighting. Congrats on getting a voice acting gig in BG3 and that cameo as a pirate in Gambo Thrones 2: More Gambo More Thrones or whatever, though.”
You’re confusing contrapoints/Natalie wynn for philosophy tube/Abigail Thorn. She’s the transgender breadtuber with a panache for the theatrics that got parts in BG3 and gambo. Tbf I don’t think Abigail is nearly as much a shitty person as Natalie but I don’t follow her that closely. She’s atleast less on Twitter
spoiler
Abby is Natalie’s ex
Also a little bit of a lib, but nowhere near as bad as most of BreadTube turned out to be.
at what point did they ever live in the same city?
It is possible to be in a relationship with someone and not live in the same city.
Thank you for the nuance. I will restate my question to remove presumptions about geographical distance: What was the nature of their physical relationship?
What was the nature of their physical relationship?
That…doesn’t sound like any of our business
I feel like you mean “physical relationship” as in “the relationship of two entities in the material world” or something, but it really reads like you’re asking if they were fucking.
The type of wording I use with someone I’m not close with but has some exciting gossip
abby is dope and her content has always been better and is much more timeless than most or all of contrapoints’. Ive gone back to philosophytube/abby but i havent really felt the need to rewatch or reconsider kkkontra.
Just want to point out that Abby participated in the “before talking about Gaza, it’s super important to talk at length about the rise of antisemitic violence”-cliché in a (semi) recent video. I don’t generally watch her content, so maybe it’s an exception to otherwise good takes, but that one left a sour taste in my mouth.
Fuck every Breadtuber, I hate what they’ve done to the internet, they keep breeding liberals
They’ve done nothing of note, except shutting up a couple of fashy youtubers (while IRL fascism quintupled in size)
Breadtube is the epitome of the idea that the revolution itself will be commodified. The entire privately-owned social media sphere is Capitalist Realism for the post-Cold War digital space. And many Western leftists unfortunately still don’t realize this.
You will pry my skullboi from my cold, dead hands
Never watched Shaun, but he’s a good lad
If she said something more radical, her acting career would be dead. Unlike kontra she knew where the wind blew though.
Yeah right, as if people are ever more radical than they claim to be when talking politics, unless they’re being intentionally dishonest.
Oh no, I do think she doesnt particularly cares about Palestinians being alive, she just knew her audience.
Dunno about you but I wouldn’t hype a person who both sides the gaza genocide and amplified the fake “rising antisemitism” crisis. Turns out you can make a lot of things antisemetic if you define jewishness as genocidal.
damn, didnt know that. Its still true for me that her earlier content was and is still better than anything contra ever made.
Alexander Avila is pretty great too
Well he’s got like two absolute clown takes but is otherwise good and might’ve learned something since then
I saw like two videos from Avila and he just seemed like such a wannabe French cafe type intellectual with no inclination to do substantive leftist analysis. That was a few years ago, but usually these internet “intellectuals” become worse as they become more successful on Youtube rather than better (or at best stay the same), so I hope I can be forgiven for not checking recent work.
Find greener pastures, why punish yourself with this meandering yapping? Abby isn’t much better than Contra, just a bit, deminishing returns situation
Pretty sure Abby is a Zionist
Pretty sure
Did you do sufficient investigation to earn the right to speak about this?
Because I did some searches on her Tumblr for “Palestine” and “Gaza” and that doesn’t seem to be the case at all.
Whatever one might think about the specifics of Abigail’s public stances on Palestine (specifics muddied by the fact that the United KKKingdom essentially has no freedom of speech), I don’t think Zionists usually raise money for World Central Kitchen, or publically say “Free Palestine”.
At any rate, even across those two Tumblr posts, she’s still done infinitely more than Contrapoints and her nihilistic nonsense tweet on the subject.
Tapping the sign of me tapping the sign, since Abby’s come up a few times recently:
Reposting my comment about her doing a nazi propaganda
idk where to rate it on scale of breadtuber blunders but Abby’s definitely not flawless, to say the least
but Abby’s definitely not flawless, to say the least
Good thing I never said that
Didn’t mean to imply that, apologies. More of a general statement
It’s an inference based on her silence on Palestine. There is no fence sitting with a genocide.
She really does look like a generic white chick. The only thing missing is being a natural blonde(?).
Most of them aren’t natural blondes, especially not bright blonde like actresses are often prompted to appear by the patriarchs of the film & TV industries, but don’t worry, there’s no political content to that trend.
Keeping dyed blond hair especially when trying to make it look natural and having it thst way all the time is fucking hard snd really bad for your hair as well. I have silver hair for 6 months and red hair for 6 cause the silver means bleaching the absolute fuck out of it and then introducing more ammonia and whatever the fuck chemicals make it look like anime hair and maintenance is like…nuts. the rest of the year theres a red hair mask available around me that coats yer hair instead of dying it and gives it uv shelter to recover. There isnt really any way to stay dyed blond in a convincing as natural way that doesn’t totally fuck your hair up. Maybe super rich people with daily high level salon access but even a contrapoints rich person is wrecking their hair keeping that up. I also dont know her natural hair colour, dont care to speculate and dont really wanna dunk on her for her looks, I just know my way around hair.
Oh yeah, I have no idea about Contra and I’m not trying to say anything remotely negative about people dying their hair, I just know in film especially a lot of the actresses are prompted to have dyed blonde hair for completely apolitical reasons.
It was more the comment chain im on than what you specifically said there. I just had technical knowledge to haul down in response to what you said.
Thank you for sharing. You probably would not be surprised to hear that I read about even pretty rich actresses complaining about the dye fucking up their hair.There’s no winning for women either, ive met a few naturally blonde women who just do have the Hollywood Aryanism and get trrsted like they’re trying to fo Hollywood shit or theyre fake or whatever.
Just get a good wig at this point.
I know what im doing and its fun
I believe I remember her having black hair before transitioning. Been watching her that long lol
I always read BG3 as Battle Gear 3. A video game i think i made up
Sounds like the name of a PS2-era mecha battling game
I was thinking the MOST generic possible 360 era shooter but that also works. If it was a ps2 mech battle game and is the third somehow Battle Gear and Battle Gear 2 would be RPGs on the Wonderswan or something
Gotta start making a megaman 64 inspired game now
YES, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE
fuck you kkkontrapoints
He’d be 31 (I think?) this year if Obama hadn’t murdered him. Kid should have gone through grad school and started a career/family/whatever. Instead, it’s just another corpse added to the pile of crimes committed by the US.

The most pathetic and cowardly abuse of idpol thinking imaginable, and perfectly appropriate for Clintonpoints since Hill tried to do just the same thing to explain how it wasn’t her fault she lost to obomber. Those dang sexist Obama boys.
“Leftist”
Fine, be mad at me for being friends with Charles Manson. Would you all be as mad if I was friends with Ted Bundy? Checkmate leftys.
We shit talk Hasan for going to the DNC
I shit talk Hasan a lot, but I don’t think “going to the DNC” is bad in and of itself, and he did get kicked out because they were upset about him talking about Gaza (I think). Lots of things to criticize Hasan for, but that one seems fair enough, at least as-presented.
when I se we I mean me and my people✌️
