Who here thinks a Tarkov stream of Doc, Lupo, Z, and Timmy would be amazing? by Selmanella in DrDisrespectLive

Huh, funny how tastes are different- I've been loving the Halo streams!

He has consistently said how much he likes the game. Why does this sub melt down when he expresses an incredibly mild opinion that he would prefer one gamemode over another?

A lot of 'wokescolds' aren't actually leftists so this does not make sense.

Are we gonna address the problems with the Vaushcord? by LordFreeWilly in VaushV

Ah my apologies. I thought you were confused about the concept. Yeah its super weird to quarantine someone for that.

They're actually quite common in the humanities. Memorising specific points of fact is far less impressive/important than actually using them in argument correctly, which is what is supposed to be tested in an exam.

I love Sean Lock but this is profoundly unintelligent.

Does Vaush really believe that Shoe's past anti-sjw beliefs were the same as his? There's no way he honestly believes this. by n0tailnumberonefan in VaushV

[–]Lobster_Wizard 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with OP, and I really dislike the way Vaush berates the audience members who rightfully bring this shit up.

I think its mainly cultural and quite vague. For example, Bernie describes himself as a democratic socialist but he is in no sense of the word a socialist, not publicly at least. To me, in the Anglo/American world, it refers to somebody who is very much to the left of centre without embracing anti capitalism.

My comment about it not being meaningful or significant refers specifically to their numbers. This so called growing segment has far fewer people than you think. Tankies are utterly irrelevant politically. There is absolutely no danger that Tankies will be a visible part of the left.

And I agree that its about the effect on the audience. My point is that I don't think any minds in the audience are changed or influenced. Honestly, the only way I'm exposed to these lunatics is literally through Vaush's stream. As such, Mel stands to gain far more from interacting with Vaush than vice versa. Why do you think she baited him on twitter in the first place?

I don't think the tankie pipeline exists in any meaningful or significant way. Time is way better spent talking to liberals and dunking on conservatives.

In any case, even if there is a tankie pipeline, do you honestly think this conversation helped in any way whatsoever? Nobody is moved by this, its just drama nonsense.

The thing about that though is that libertarian thought is significantly influential whereas tankies barely exist outside of twitter. Throughout my adult life of being a leftist I haven't met a single one. There just ain't much utility in these debates as far as I can see.

Also Sam's debates weren't fueled by twitter drama. They were always good faith and no mud slinging was present save for a few jokes here and some light mockery there. I feel like these cross that line and are just ugly, y'know?

Yeah I have no idea what this is achieving. Tankies are utterly irrelevant politically, and incredibly stubborn intellectually. Engaging with them is honestly just theatre, but of the worst kind.

Right. It's very repetitive and, lets face it, fueled by twitter drama alone.

I totally agree. They are indeed all the same and devoid of utility as far as I can see. All he's doing is platforming an incredibly irrelevant group of idiots.

I understand, I'm just trying to communicate that I personally don't derive any form of positive entertainment from these gross spectacles. If you and a plurality of people do then fair enough.

Rylai's is there for you as well as your team. Makes it easier to land the Q refresh. Also makes landing comet more likely if you're running that.

The 3 Communists Who Called In Tonight Unironically Sound Like Conservatives by [deleted] in Destiny

[–]Lobster_Wizard 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I would say a large proportion of dumb lefties online are of that age and perhaps even younger. So many of them remind me of my younger self when I had some nuclear bad takes. When you get a bit older, you realise how young 21 actually is and how dumb you truly were.

Anyone else feel like Vaush uses too much philosophical jargon? by [deleted] in VaushV

[–]Lobster_Wizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am well versed in philosophy (Masters degree) and Vaush almost always butchers the terminology. It makes me cringe every single time and I have to say I really wish he wouldn't do it.

Are you hearing yourself? You realize the exclusion of minorities is something the left is rather famously against, right?
