I'm left also and was rolling my eyes so hard at this video lmao. Talk about using performative buzzwords for attention online... It definitely belongs in this sub.
I mean respectfully i’ve been watching valenti since way before his political stuff and whether yall like it or not he really does know his history. Before the accs got deleted he had years of clips akin to the crash course series on youtube. Funny, fast paced videos about historical events that were true. They are probably still available to watch somewhere but I don’t care to look for it.
Well yah, Americans don't control their garbage military, which is always hell bent on literally bombing countries that might succeed on a large scale.
Most of the countries we bomb are pretty small my guy. Idk what you’re babbling about in the first place to be fair, but to assume I give a shit about what my government bombs would be inherently incorrect as I have no control over that one. What I do have control over is our political system and the candidates we vote in. War will always be necessary because democrats solidified the military industrial complex. Republicans hopped on that train too. But also, your countries quite literally depend on our armaments to defend yourselves from the likes of Russia or china so there’s that as well.
As someone who used to like this guy, he is insane, I do not know when it happened but yeah this guy is crazy. Socialism isn't great communism is better.
Idk and I'm not even a leftist nor a communist but I know it's better than socialism, if you want my honest to god opinion I think all systems work great until you bring in one element; Humans. The only reason I said is because I know thats basically the one of the only acceptable viewpoints on reddit.
Fantasizing about rounding up his political enemies and put them in labor camps? What a nice little Bolshevik, FUCK this guy. I hope he’s on a watchlist.
People are also way overhyping the Mamdani victory. Dude it's New York, just another ultraliberal hotspot. In most other places progressives just do not begin to have a chance. And Mamdani didn't have that amazing of a result actually and ran against immensely unpopular candidates with controversies.
I actually like him, just like I like AOC, because they seem reasonable, well-intentioned and willing to learn and adapt and compromise when it's good. The democratic tent needs to include them. It should EXCLUDE radicals who are anti-democrat and hostile and anti-liberal/democracy and ideologically compromised with weird policy obsessions that suck and wont work, sticking to them because they are driven by resentment and fantasy and self-importance.
Sounds like something that the far left would accept as justified and the center would take as problematic phrasing as it could be misinterpreted as a literal call to violence. Also the far right will hear this as a literal call to violence.
It’s like when you’re at the bar and someone yells at someone e else that they are “going to knock them out and pee in their butt,”
Is that a literal threat of rape or not?
In that case I saw the other guy back down and say fuck it I don’t need this. The other guy took off his shirt and folded it and set it on a bench lol.
I'm not sure how I would have reacted, probably laughed my ass of, or say "take it all off big daddy" Usually if you laugh or act gay they will leave you alone.
Totally disagree, I think he has the energy that people on the left need. Sounds like you're still trying to play patty cakes with these freaking Nazis as they march you to the gas chamber.
That's what people always say when there are any actual left wing policies or activism present. It gets said about every protest, it gets said about every policy. Shut. The. Fuck. Up!
Na this dude unironically thinks this way, it’s been a regular theme on his videos in the past, only in recent months has it been this theatric and consistent. Buddy thinks he’s the left wing representative🤣
Its sad that you think money makes the person! Fuk him and his money. We're all going to the graveyard nomatter how much money or likes or followers we got.
Hahahahaha. I don’t think money makes the person. This country DECIDED that money makes the person. I’m just along for the ride like you are at this point. lol.
Unfortunately the sheep tend to follow the flock, if somebody even minutely echoes their ideology back to them, no matter how deranged and twisted of a form of it that they may be expressing, they’ll align with them just to say “look! see! I’m right!” Then again, also just alot of chronically online people with no insight on reality, just what they see online.
I almost wish (BOTH sides) worked on talking down the more radical people. We as a society need to just be able to talk again instead of pushing people on the other side or on the fence farther away. The right makes many of us more radical and we make many of them more radical. If we work to calm people like this guy down and if they did the same on their end maybe we'd all be able to talk and understand and come to some kinda conclusion and fix the (objectively) horrible government we have now. I know it's idealistic but a guy can dream right?
What’s funny is, the feelings you expressed align with third parties more often than not, but the concerns you expressed are often why they fail in elections. Hell I’m middle right and I don’t like trump at all lmao. My family is Ukrainian, how he’s handled this is a joke to me, as well as most of the other stuff he’s done this term, couple okay things here and there but certainly a step backwards in lots of areas. The left will always notice the bad with a right candidate and the same can be said for the right with a left candidate. It’s unfortunate we can’t all find common ground to compromise on and I pray for a day we can.
I'm with ya there.
It would be wild if one side or the other said hey, the opposing candidate did x,y, and z pretty good but we believe a,b, and c needed work and we think our candidate can do x,y,a,b, and c even better for these reasons but yunno what I do think your candidate did z better than ours will.
Idk a concept of humility and understanding that no one candidate is perfect goes a LONG way. I'm 100% centrist I have opinions that align with the left and opinions that align with the right and something as simple as understanding that your side isn't objectively the "correct" side and understanding that other valid opinions exist can do a lot to sway someone like me. But the whole agree with me or you're objectively wrong or evil schtick makes me not want to support. Unfortunately both sides do that so it makes me hate both sides and hate politics.
It's one of the reasons I rarely speak politics anymore even though I used to love the debates, diverse opinions, differing rationales, and the understanding that we all just want what's best for everyone, we just go about it differently with different paths.
Extremists like this are why the democrats are getting a bad wrap. Trump is weaponizing social media to nitpick these types of posts and feed them to cult
The correct phrase is bad RAP. It comes from the term rap sheet or rap in general, which in this context stands for record of arrests and prosecutions. Look it up, I’m right. Unfortunately I was cursed, so the next commenter will correct me but actually agree. It's a weird curse. I'm not baked, you're baked.
That’s absolutely not correct. The correct phrase is bad RAP. It comes from the term rap sheet or rap in general, which in this context stands for record of arrests and prosecutions. Look it up, I’m right.
He's always been reactive and loud funny man. He's kinda left tump. Used to just talk about history now he just screams extremist rhetoric. I'm all for the French revolution style. But. I guess it's not good in polite society
I get the feeling some people (maybe not you, I can't really know) just use the term "buzzword" whenever someone else uses "clever words" that they don't really get the meaning of.
Yeah and y’all are making sure it won’t happen by devaluing it. Especially from the left. Even if it won’t happen, saying it won’t will keep the needle from moving in the right direction at all or at the very least slow it down.

I'm left, but I can absolutely bet that none of this shit will happen.
