I’ve said since the kickoff, on [2023-10-10] when I first saw it, that the “Hamas is destroying Palestine” narrative was straight from Haaretz. Of course this was later vindicated by Hamas revealing they had foreknowledge of an Israeli offensive, not the other way around as enemy media claimed.

I find this very funny. Allegedly the other guy who runs this is off working on projects. Thing is he told me he was going on vacation right before that. One of these projects is getting rid of all the youtubers. This video was sitting there the whole time! Hello! Plus, BE just posted this.

So again you don’t need to assemble the dossier. Just wait for their reality to crumple into the black hole known as the Bab El-Mandeb strait. Also I’m done, everyone is acting scary online right now. I was told there would be africa news?

      Tell me do you say the same about Norman Finkelstein? Because everything you said here about BE and much worse applied to him.

        I am not going to bat for a single fucking person. I don’t give a shit about Finklestein. I’m specifically talking about BE at the moment and I’m tired of you detracting from the conversation. You need to take a close look at why you’re so vehemently defending some asshole who doesn’t even know you exist. Stop pulling this “whataboutism” bullshit and just admit you don’t care about the concerns many trans people have for your favorite piece of shit streamer.

          It’s not whataboutism you just can’t seem to understand the selective application.

          Finkelstein literally wrote a whole book on how woke people are "destroying college campuses. Do you see everyone showing up in every comment section going “uhhmm akshually Norman Finkelstein is a really bad person”?

          The only actual reason people love going so hard on the single edgy 2 years old BE tweet is because in reality they just want to defend their favorite shitstain full Nazi streamer. Mainly Hasan Piker or ChapoTrapHouse. And BE is the only one calling those people out because the rest all want to keep their cozy reputation with the lefty establishment.

          BE has defended trans people plenty of times in his videos and written content and if you genuinely think that a single edgy tweet would be discarding then by your own standard no single leftist would even be allowed to walk the earth but there’s no way you’re actually upholding that standard.

          “What about this other prominent activist for Palestine which is in many ways compareable but way worse where I don’t ever bring this up because I know my own minority status isn’t so important to disrupt activism against a literal genocide right now”?

          Can you really not understand it?

            I understand it just fine, it’s a weak ass attempt at deflection because you don’t have a good response to the criticisms you’re addressing and you know it

              I can find something bad about literally every single leftist online. Most of them far worse than an edgy tweet since 95% of leftists recently decided to endorse Nazi Platner.

              Still I don’t whine about that if they create good valid content.

              In the case of BE it’s more egregious because he called out Chapo for supporting Platner and the Hexbear comeback was to just ignore all the criticism by posting that 2 year BE old tweet. That’s the actual reason they keep bringing it up. Because he called out their favorite online internet personality.

              The GDF smear campaign by BE was infinitely worse than the edgy tweet with as it directly contributed to active genocide logic but even people like Finkelstein have opposed BDS and have been accepted back in.

              The point is: unless someone is an actual Nazi crusader stop trying to smear their helpful and relevant content when they don’t completely align with your views. And BE very much is pro LGBT anyways.

                    Its actually really easy to oppose genocide without being transphobic at all, false dichotomy doesn’t make your bullshit deflection look any better dumbass

                We can get into the problems with the form of activism prescribed by these people, where they act as a diversion, how they shape online discourse, & the ones that are clearly getting insider leaks like Destiny & shit who are actually connected to the IDF or US military etc. I am in charge of memes tho so im delegating this

                It’s not just “oh he chudded out once” or I would lose half my mutuals. He is giving you a completely fucked framework to interpet world events. Dude is as bad as Rob Ashlar.

                I believe in randoms like you, like us. Complete fucking randoms & programmers have some usefulness, unlike western left groups, which have no skills which can be transferred to the global periphery at all.
