I’m begging you guys to get decent arbiters for your beliefs…you know actually…I can’t say that. Every liberal creator is a shithead.

I think the kind of people who become “influencers” are generally kinda just people charismatic enough to achieve online popularity, but not necessarily educated, tactful, or grounded enough to actually DO politics. Obviously not all of them, but the ones that live entirely off short-form content and clips? Oh absolutely.

At best, they are producers of well-sourced edu-tainment. But that’s mostly in the long-form scripted content space anyways, not the TikTok and Twitch space, where the goal is to have one funny/well-stated 3 minute clip that people can latch onto in 3 minutes.

I’ve just always found all of these people to be detestable. I don’t do influencers, but I think there’s been like…one that I’ve genuinely thought was good, but he was more of a wonk than an actual rhetoric/ideological type of influencer.

I mean, I won’t lie, I enjoy an FD Signifier video essay, I like Some More News as a “online daily show” type comedy-news show. But again, those are people who produce well-thought out and sourced content, albeit with their biases on their sleeves. I think the issue is that a lot of people (on ALL sides) think consuming their favorite political content is the same as doing/learning about politics. Which it very much is not after a certain point.

So no one can articulate why she’s absolutely awful. Interesting

She gives completely entryist takes that betray a total lack of theoretical basis or critical thinking on her part. She’s just the flipside of the coin where people support everything America does because it’s America. She will defend any issue in a state with a red flag, rather than recognizing that every socialist state is an experiment, with some achievements and some failures, with critique being a necessary part of good praxis.

I’ve never seen her state or even imply that any state is perfect or without issues, can you give examples as to when she’s done that? She always acknowledges all the nuance and does plenty of critique??

This is probably true for her than a lot of socialist types. The asymmetrical skepticism is pretty run of the mill for a lot, but honestly…I personally hate how types like her preach anti-capitalist rhetoric and then turn it into privately captured brand equity. Now that doesn’t disprove communism, but it comes across as sanctimonious and makes her less credible. Her clothing business is “interesting” from a business perspective but the representation she gives of it is ideologically branded

I will give a fair shake to her because business is something I’m fairly intimately knowledgeable in from an admin perspective, but I’d honestly need to do more research on it to know if it’s actually what she preaches it to be, or if it’s structured for the intent of branding
