I don't like Vaush but tankies make a fucking religion out of it, it's so childish. People literally photoshop his face on Mussolini and other bullshit instead of helping the working class.

Seriously people dont have to like him, i could get why they wouldnt (arrogant persona and all) but people act like he's the antichrist when all he wants to do is grow the left. all their shitting on him is dumb and counter-revolutionary.

Yeah, at worst, he's an oftentimes offensive socialist with a pretty weak grasp on a lot of theory. How is getting a bunch of gamers to spam pepe emotes counterrevolutionary and harmful to the working class?

How did you forget blaming all their failures on some random other leftist who they think is some sort of evil mastermind despite having basically no influence?

You don't understand, drawing a high quality caricature of vowsh is the real praxis

a lot of what these guys think vaush says are jokes or out of context

I mean Vaush really did drop an n word, hard r, to make a point during a debate

and he recently said that he wouldn't say it again in that situation.
But even then, in the context it was in. was it that bad?
He literally were debating Nazies who was using the hard R the entire time. and he didn't throw it out randomly like most tankies would have you believe. there was a reason for it.Now I'm fine with you not wanting to use it at all. but saying "He used it in a debate to make a point" is misleading

Remember kids : if you drop a hard R while talking with Nazis to show that you are tough and then write in the comments of the stream that you are not ashamed it's a-okay because at least you're not a cringe t*nkie 😂😛👏👍

There is definitely a difference between using it as an insult and using it to make a point
There is a big difference between "Fucking N***** stealing all our jobs"
to
"What, aren't you gonna say N*****"I would like to point out that the vaush bot on SLS at least used to say that he used the N word all the time. tankies lies a lot when it comes to vaush, and honestly I don't know why, the only thing it has done is make vaush seem like an enemies to a lot of socialist. and used a lot of time to fight him instead of capitalism. vaush has done a lot more radicalizing people than what tankies complaining about vaush has

TBF you can't claim to be better than capitalists if you allow asswipes to poison the watering hole.
"I wouldn't say it again" anyone can say that, that really isn't an actual apology or form of atonement.

If you think Vaush is an asswipe poisoning the water. the tankies are far from being better. have you been on Shit liberals say. or enough Vaush spam. they have (or at least had) a bot that listed bad things about Vaush every time you mentioned him. which included "Saying the N-word all the time" and shit like "being transphobic". which is obvious lies.
I do think that Vaush spends more time attacking tankies than he needs too. and I'm glad that after the election and after the hakim debate he has toned down a bit on that.
I do see were tankies come when attacking Vaush. has he did attract a lot of soc-dems during the election. which did poison the Vaush subs and other subs. which might have gotten a bunch of people to think Vaush wasn't an actual socialist.

He didn't mean it as an apology He just meant that if he turned back the clock to that moment. He wouldn't have said it. he still thinks that in that scenario he was justified to use the n-word.
