I hate to tell you, but there ain't no such thing as an ex-Vaushite. Anybody who falls for that blatant huckster for more than five minutes is a deeply un-serious person on a base level and shouldn't be trusted with making toast. Even if you talk them out of the Vaush cult they'll just find another one in a month or so. Just drop the loser.
I watched Vaush for a month or two and breadtube for years. Now I’ve read Lenin. I’m not looking back. People can learn and it’s weird to insist they can’t.
I accept my fate. After watching his stuff, anything would be better.
This kind of "omg he saw propaganda, his mind is forever impure" attitude is deeply unserious. We live in a river of imperialist propaganda, writing off anyone who ever drank from the river is a losing strategy. You don't have to be the person to do the 101 work mind you, and maybe this person does just suck shit, but your rubric is overly reductive
Look I've dealt with Vaush's creepy cult for fucking years and the bullshit I've had to endure from them has left me with zero sympathy for them. Especially at this point, where we know the dude has pedo hentai on his fucking computer, anyone STILL defending him after that I have no patience for. If you want to try and pull them over fine but sorry I'm not ever going to want to be in a room alone with any of those fucks. It's so blatantly obvious what a creep that dude is at this point I really don't buy anyone leaving his community ONLY NOW is doing it out of genuine self reflection and not fear that even more damning proof that he's a pedo and likely and Op comes out and isn't just trying to save face.
its more about accepting that many people will fall back to whatever the default view is among the majority of their peers, you can explain things to people in person and they'll act like they understand but the next day they are spouting the same talking points, because that's what their media and social group promotes and they spend more time with them than the Lone Leftist of their social circle.
