You know a liberal content creator is scratched when they roll out the heavy hitting arguments like “you are ugly” and “i am wealthier and more successful than you”. Patrick Bateman level shit lol.

He’s going deep-nesting and arguing with randos telling them to unsub lol.

I hope for his sake unc is drunk or some shit. Genuinely quite embarrassing, rather than just taking the criticism that basically boils down to “maybe you shouldn’t be centring jewish feelings as israel commits a genocide in their name” on board.

I always knew he was just a lib breadtuber, but I had enjoyed some of his hip hop videos. You’d think of all people he would realise he’s acting like the Drake in this situation rn.

He’s still posting through it after 2 hours. Now he seems to be attempting to pull it back and have “good faith discussions” with people in the comment section of a youtube video. Bruh.

    Isn’t it kind of weird that Badempanada has no allies? He has no political party. He never collaborates with other people. I’d have a hard time believing he has any friends.

    Look at the Cuba trip he did last month. He went to Cuba because he was jealous of the Neustra America Convoy. He brought no aid to Cuba and then he payed random people with paper money to be in his video. He talked shit about the Neustra America Convoy which delivered 20 tons of aid: food, medicine, and solar panels to Cuba. Then he went to Cuba and brought nothing with him except paper money. The Neustra America Convoy met with Cuban Government officials. The Neustra America Convoy had 600 people delivering aid to Cuba. Bad Empanada proudly declared that he went completely alone.

    There seems to be like a misconception that in order to be a real leftist, you have to be a social pariah because in western-aligned countries socialism was the big bad. The implication becomes that if someone calls themselves socialist but is popular, liked, attractive, etc; then they must be fake socialist. Bad Empanada uses this as the sole metric for his political ideology. He’s not in any organization. He doesn’t do any activism. He doesn’t participate in labor action. He’s not even particularly principled in his beliefs. He often has controversial takes that misalign from any existing socialist political theory. His only political conviction is being a nuisance. Bad Empanada and his fans believe that he’s a leftist because he’s completely intolerable to be around.

      I’m of three minds about this.

      1. BE seems completely unlikable as a person.
      2. Even before personality, he’s pretty geographically isolated from other creators.
      3. Personally, I feel like I’d be really isolated if I were a YouTube creator too. Like what, am I supposed to just hit up HBomb or somebody in YouTube DMs and be like “hey let me in to the secret breadtube discord chat”?

    well if we’re not getting into the facts of who’s making a principled point (i’m not going to look at any of this source content myself, i don’t have a dog in this fight, it’s slop) and we’re sticking to the behavior of online video essayists, i’m still inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to the well-meaning black unc who gets a little lib sometimes over an australian expat ultra living under milei who spends his time being a transphobic ultra on english-language nazi twitter (which is to say, twitter). which is to say, i don’t think you gotta hand it to bad empanada ever, even when unc is embarrassing himself a bit.

    He’s right about BE just being some attack dog that exploits how the internet left works to make a living right now. You’ll notice how careful BE is to not reveal much about himself and his actual politics because he likely doesn’t really have any. He doesn’t seem to be a part of any party and outside of his Cuba trip he doesn’t seem to have done much. He says as much too in his streams. BE can make some good points sometimes but he’s not anyone to be respected. F. D. Libifier is just an annoying radlib though, basically doing the same thing as BE but in a non-negative way. Literally could not care what idpol-soaked opinions he has on a 3-year-old anime more than BE’s opinions on China, COVID, marxist economics, etc.

      This reminds of this YouTuber 1dime. I really got a bad vibe from this YouTuber but there was never any proof until way later because the guy just didn’t commit to any political position. I dunno if BE is as bad as 1dime but people that vaguely point towards leftist ideals are usually sus

      As for FD signifier, I really like his videos but no question hes fallen hook line and sinker for the antisemitism crisis nonsense that acts as cover for pissraels genocidal actions. I hope he and many other rectify that position. Because I hate to break to Mr FD but cry all you want about non existent antisemitism crisis, but the zios will never be your friend. And the majority of Jews supporting Zionism is not the problem of people that are against genocide and if you’re against genocide there is no reason make it your problem

    the only thing i can muster up here is “cool story, nerds”

    don’t care too much about FD, but communicating at all with BE at this point when he’s now fully consumed with “I am the best leftist alive and all of you are fake leftists who deserve to die, also fuck trans people” as content is basically pointless.

    call me lib if you want, but I haven’t seen any actual analysis out of him recently and I no longer care to check. if he moves away from just being a dramaslopper, let me know

          he did, he has some good old videos showing up some lib who didn’t think Columbus was that bad, explaining Peronism isn’t a coherent thing because disparate parties try to claim legitimacy through it, etc.

          anyway FD should hit him in the transphobia doubledown.

      also fuck trans people

      When did he say this?

      if he moves away from just being a dramaslopper, let me know

      Like a month ago he went and interviewed random homeless people on the streets of cuba about what’s happening over there and how it affects their lives lol. He’s hardly gonna change the world but that is bit more journalistic effort than “dramaslop”, and sure as hell more than sitting on stream talking about rap beefs or zootopia lol.

            The most generous reading of his take is that he believes that while transness is real, he believes there is a significant amount of people who claim to be trans solely to win internet arguments.

            He crashed out the other week on a queer content creator. But ngl they were insufferable and a bad representation of queer leftists in the west. They said BE and some other creators had “colonizer accents” while that mf is american.

            I think a lot of people in America, not just queer people, people of every marginalized group, forget just how much privilege they have, and the more liberal ones will center their struggle over everything else.

            Queer liberals do it with pinkwashing, black liberals do it with movements like For Us By Us that don’t critique the system itself, they just want to be a part of the in group. Even as an Arab, I’ve lost a lot of Arab friends as I’ve became more and more disgusted with the world. We have Arabs still to this day working for companies like Lockheed Martin because they believe they can change things from the inside, or they’ll be in a position of power to avoid work with “israel” like that’s the only thing that matters.

      I think it’s because “feeding the trolls” in the 2000s meant arguing in comment sections or some Facebook page with zero benefit and almost no audience. Now that it’s monetized and part of the spectacle, people can keep pulling the slot lever (Post button) hopping their opponent slips up and they can clip/screenshot it and go “See?! I told you he was ______” and try to leverage that into more internet fame.

        Even if they don’t slip up, simply going to their page, watching the video, dropping a bunch of comments, all that makes the algorithm go “mmm yes much engagement push this content creator higher in the feed.” It’s why I just avoid reactionary content pages/channels, besides not giving me agita I know me going there and arguing with them just rewards them, regardless of how wrong they are.

    I see almost nothing wrong with FDS comments here. Is it defensive? Sure. I have zero context for what inspired his response but everything except the bit about vaush being charismatic (which is subjective) is correct about BE.

    I like FD’s media analysis but this is yet another in a long list of examples of his politics being dogshit libbery coated in black panther language. I stg Kamala hadn’t even finished saying “congratulations to my opponent” when dude had done a 180° turn on his analysis and was already blaming her loss on racism first and foremost.

    Not that BE ain’t the most insufferable mf on that side of YouTube, mind you, but the messenger being an idiot doesn’t make the message wrong in and of itself.

    Online arguments are a goddamn joke.

    Two people falling all over themselves to tell the other how they are somehow more correct. It doesn’t matter who is right and who isnt, and it probably never has mattered.

    No, you’re wrong and I’m right.

    Yea I saw that BE video about FD. BA is the definition of “youre not wrong, youre just an asshole.” In this case, he took a part of a stream on an clip channel and blew it out of proportion, acting like this antisemitism analysis in a kid’s movie was some major sleight and offense. I watched the original clip from FD, he came across like he was half joking and just having fun analyzing a movie more deeply than it needs to be. I mean is BE right that there are more important things to talk about visa vie jeaduism/israel/palestine than possible antisemetic undertones in a kids movie? Yea sure, but also like who cares man.

    That being said, FD responding to this at all is super cringe. Cmon man dont feed the troll.

    I used to be a subscriber to F.D. Signifier for his hip hop commentary videos. (I’m not American so i don’t know much about hip hop culture aside from the 80’s and 90’s) But i unsubscribed a couple of years ago because he started repeating that breadtube mantra to his chat of “why are all of you so hung up on Israel and Palestine?”

    This tendency of dying on the hill of zionism got so wide spread among the old breadtube guard It makes me wonder if these guys got coopted by some israel propaganda money or something.

    I also remember him saying something along the lines of “If you like china so much go live there!” that one aged well!

        I’m really glad to hear he was not acting on bad faith; as someone who never was very up to date with american politics before 2016; the Biden years were one hell of a whiplash with people getting very “libbed up” all uf the sudden, but i guess it was also an artifact of the place and time.
