manufactured or not, the mod's question was obviously not genuine if you see their follow up messages. those were disavowing the idea that streamers denouncing the ICE gestapo is worthwhile. also if you read streamer lingo, the mod's question ended with "hasanette," making it pretty clearly looking for a specific reaction. i personally think this was a manufactured moment.
she appears to have essentially revitalized the public popularity of the LDP, japan's long-time ruling party. the youngs find her quirky apparently. both the left wing parties, JCP and reiwa got fucking owned, like no seats, even the incel fascist party performed better.
i've had very similar thoughts about how this is playing out. i think i would call it like movementism. instead of building cadres that are a powerful tool of an organization with ideological and practical discipline, these see movements that are organized around single individuals in order to gain electoral advantage as political action. so for mamdani for example, they talk at length about "the movement" that is behind him, by which they refer not to the DSA party apparatus but rather the decentralized coalition of 50,000 doorknockers that are now totally failing to keep mamdani himself disciplined. this structure is also impossibly opaque. did mamdani actually make a deal with hochul to give her an early endorsement in exchange for universal childcare for 2 years in nyc? maybe, but we don't get to know that. it's not a strategy if no one but the one "great man" that is the avatar of "the movement" has any idea what he's doing. no accountability means that he will fundamentally be driven to seek short term successes over long term revolution against the bourgeois dictatorship. AOC is the other classic DSA example of a movementist avatar. meanwhile, the consistently more principled (at least to my understanding) tlaib and omar do not try to present themselves as anything but principled progressives who are participating in the democratic party apparatus. i think even the SPD was more of an organization than the DSA.
right, ok, that's a new one. great. they're multiplying. yeah this post is definitely about the ongoing "emiru controversy." and as i noted in my top level comment, this was instigated by her head mod and her irl best friend appears by all accounts to be the roach himself so. yeah, i really like your take that people aren't prepared for the coming glut of outright soy-nazis with silly fairy light rooms doing moldy agitprop in a squishmallow, soft voice aesthetic.
what do you mean by "they," which "they" are we looking at here? i recognize the roach of course. i'm pretty well-read in terms of terminally online nazi agitprop but i'm not familiar with this npc person. the op from axolotl is about a different person than this.
you'd think so, but no, it's the cosplay streamer emiru that this post is about, who has somehow avoided all such controversy prior to now despite being surrounded by pedophile SA-convicted nazis.
me when i cook up a controversy by having my HEAD MODERATOR ask me about ICE so i can babble about how i'm a dumb little child who doesn't know a thing about those politics. visited the border "wall" for content btw. actually asmongold's best friend off- and online btw. no politick here behavior
exactly, there's a real long term failure to continue the political consciousness raising of trade unionists and members and we see the results in this festering and malignant, myopic selfishness
japanese voters are very disengaged, basically no political education, 50% turnout, etc.
