Rant
This is a bit of a rant before I head off to bed but please consider this a comraderadely reminder: Any so-called communist who starts pivoting to this kind of punching down rhetoric should give a MASSIVE :hitler-particles: vibe.
I'm not backing down from that, there's a reason fascists are most successful when coopting class war rhetoric. Once you lack basic solidarity with people your class consciousness is chipped away like a Welsh stonemason chips away at slate.
this guy is officially on the bad transphobes list, people who stan him will be uh... shot? 
Based moderation policy.

Too lenient, they need to be vaporized 
They'll be handcuffed, strapped to a glider, and deployed over Tel-Aviv.

oh well, another reminder you can't trust us australian kkkrackoids. never rely on me for anything serious
I can at least rely on you for slang that involves adding -ie to the end of a noun
another reminder you can’t trust us australian kkkrackoids
or just petite-bourgeois dramaslop youtubers whose income depends on engagement™
Oh hey look, it's that thing where once someone posts transphobia, they never post normally again.
This guy is so insufferable. He acts like he's the the most serious and principled communist on the planet while he spends every waking moment of his life posting ragebait online and calling anyone he doesn't like a fascist or a pedophile, which apparently includes queer and neurodivergent people now. Embarrassing to think I used to watch his shit.
The signs were always there tbh it just used to be easier to separate it from his regular body of work but he’s completely out of control with the posting now it’s sickening
ah yes. god forbid people don't seek out professional diagnosis that cost thousands of dollars and just end up in you being not taken seriously in medical settings ever again
Hey now, that's not fair! Official diagnosies are/will very soon be used to make kill lists of undesirables🥰
a small price to pay so an ableist pos insults you for a different reason 🥰
Once you lack basic solidarity with people your class consciousness is chipped away like a Welsh stonemason chips away at slate.
Beautifully put.
BadEmpanada continues to lose my respect. We're well past the point where I thought he was more useful than harmful to any sort of leftist analysis; the man says some good things but what good things he says, others say too without incorporating more and more right wing brainworms
The only leftist thing he actually does is oppose the west but without theory and simply on a „is“ level.
He doesn’t even call himself a leftist, neither did contrapoints. Yet both were taken in as left-wing celebrities at some point.
oppose the west
As far as I can tell, not even consistently true.
oppose the west
I thought so but he's got bad takes on Ukraine which backs up the "without theory" part.
He doesn’t even call himself a leftist, neither did contrapoints. Yet both were taken in as left-wing celebrities at some point.
That's interesting! I've been thinking more and more that "leftist" is not even a sufficient descriptor any more than "antifascist" is, because I've been disappointed by so many people claiming those terms apply to them and then really not living up to it at all.
He's just too much of an internet edgelord to stay quiet I guess.
He's also way too used to being right because he measures himself against the worst, dumbest people existing today. That makes him think he is some sort of titan of rhetoric, but the perception is based on having won a bunch of arguments against toddlers.
Fuck this loser. He's just using ableism to disparage people he doesn't like.
Anywho, I personally advocate you should try to get a medical diagnosis from professionals and avoid self-diagnosis (though I realize this isn't possible for everyone, especially with how garbage the """"healthcare"""" system can be). The reason is there are illnesses that look like other illnesses.
For example, you may think you're suffering from an anxiety disorder. Except it may not be an anxiety disorder at all and it's actually a heart condition. Those aren't panic attacks. Those are heart palpitations and you have atrial fibrillation. Or how Bipolar II Disorder looks a lot like Severe Depression Disorder. They require entirely different treatments. Bipolar II can be improved with mood stabilizers, but will cause worse (possibly deadly) psychosis if you try treating it with SSRIs. Then, of course, you can have hallucinations caused by Bipolar Disorder, which is not Schizophrenia (which also causes hallucinations).
So please, please see a doctor if you can and don't hesitate to seek second opinions. I say this because you don't have to suffer with something that's treatable. And again, I know this can be difficult because people don't have insurance or because doctors can be assholes/prejudiced.
"Mental Illness" can mean "non conformity" and "atypical" in some contexts, and did often mean exactly this in the past. When talking about mental illness one should talk about it with the respect the topic deserves.
Besides being clearly shitty It's also like the most repeated insult by a user of a social media site about users of a different social media site.
How often has such an insult been leveled at Tumblr for instance
I was gonna say, this is the same exact shit internet conservatives were saying about Tumblr ten years ago.
Haven't we seen this before with someone else from "the left" they were famous and talking communism then started pivoting to attacking neurodivergent people or am I tripping?
probably just BE the last time lmao
Wow, this isn't a first?
Like a month ago he said similarly bigoted things about trans people for no fucking reason.
And this particular post of his seems to be particularly well timed with a wave of people getting pissed that bluesky's staff are still suckling the teat of transphobes like Jesse Singal. Which alone makes me think there's some ulterior definitions of "mental illness" at play
yeah he was really big with the italian social democrats but started chumming with nationalists after getting cancelled for his views on military interventionism.
settler armchair activist says what???
ignore this mf, neither print nor reply.
I am vindicated every day for calling this piece of shit out.
Okay but can I at least say 
on this bear site
mfers got super pissed at me when I called this guys out for being a reactionary opportunistic grifter and I WAS FUCKING RIGHT.
The fact that he is Australian really should have set off hitler particle detectors
The internet is rapidly becoming a Nazi bar, and I am not here for it.
Whereas twitter is a place where people who are very healthy and very smart gather to discuss important topics.
Yeah, there's a hint of 2021 discord vibes on bluesky but BE is just engagement baiting as usual
I will continue to bang the drum. Stop talking about him. He is not relevant to any discourse outside of himself and brings nothing unique or interesting to the dialogue. Please for the love of God stop posting about him.
he should go back to endlessly beefing with h3h3 instead of beefing with minority groups for no good reason. if you're gonna dedicate 80% of your online presence to shit stirring atleast pick a better target
Bad "I don't think transgenderism is a mental illness because I don't believe mental illness is real" Empanada
Hey! This isn't even original! This is just what Reddit was saying about Tumblr like a decade ago. I don't think Bluesky has enough users for there to be a proper stereotype of their behavior. Hell, even the fediverse is bigger imprettysurebutdon'tquotemecusicannotbebotheredtocheck
I very much doubt that. Blue sky has 4.1 millino dialy active users. Lemmy world which to my knowledge is the most active instance has 7.2k daily users.
