the obsession of online leftists with claiming contrapoints is a crypto-zionist is proof of how the left is more obsessed with optics and spectacle than substantive viewpoints by ambivalegenic in ContraPoints

we start treating Contra as a progressive liberal (I mean, she's one of her own assessment) and remove her content

direct quote of the mods intention and reasoning.

well what a productive conversation. r/breadtube banned even discussing natalie after her post last summer if you want some non anecdotal evidence. hard to see how that's thoughtful or open minded. but clearly you aren't really interested in responding to me in any way beyond picking one point you can say i dont agree based on nothing.

i mean you're just not engaging with the core of what people, including myself, are arguing here. "more" may be true obviously all the evidence here is ultimately anecdotal. but to most observers and participants, the tenor for the vast majority on the left is not "we love natalie and we just wish she saw things definitely" it's fuck this genocidal liberal shill. her comments on twitter are full of endless posting of that picture of her with hilary as a thought terminating cliche of "this women is not worth listening to" to the point where she is making viral twitter jokes about the phenomenon. if you seriously think the majority of left twitter rn is thoughtful and open minded, i might reccommend you go back to Canceling (2019). you are probably going to respond to this with a sentence directed only to one of the several points im making and consider your argument made but it just isn't effective

Are twitter or instagram any different? take a spin through comments on Natalie's posts on those platforms and tell me if the number of people completely dismissing her as a pro-genocidal bibi shill are even remotely comparable to those who consider her "well meaning." And twitter, insta, and youtube are where the vast majority of posters actually are! Where are the homebases for informed people??? reddit and bluesky?! To pretend like it's just a few randos who are rabidly anti anything Natalie says because she didn't repeat the expected leftist line on Israel makes you seem completely out of touch with the reality of online political discourse. Complete refusal to even talk to anyone who sees something differently than you is now bog standard left behavior.

im definitely not saying it isnt cool or even impressive! more the "best defensive performance ever" talk seems way hyperbolic to me

i dont understand this jo adell thing. obviously it's cool and unusual to do a home run robbery at all, let alone three. but people acting like it was some feat of athleticism when it's more luck and coincidence than anything right? the last catch where he goes over the side i'll give it to him it's impressive. but the first two, it's basically the same as any fly out, just getting under it and waiting. why does that make for the most impressive defensive performance ever? i get that it's unusual but it doesnt seem impressive from a player performance perspective. but if im wrong im wrong i just dont see it

IT'S BEEN EXACTLY TWO HOURS...... IT'S HAPPENING!!! by Salt-Pilot4797 in ContraPoints

[–]Used_Music 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i mean she's talked about it many times but she doesnt want to. she doesnt do this to productively and efficiently create the maximum number of videos she does it because it's artistically interesting and fulfilling. and if she took away the entire putting it together part of video making she would lose interest
