What the fuck are you smoking Natalie? Trump 2 has been way worse than I expected. I expected a repeat of Trump 1 but more tired and senile so he gives up and goes golfing sooner. Instead he's started a war with Iran, rounded up immigrants to put into concentration camps, destroyed the EPA, and kidnapped the president of Venezuela.
Then you weren't paying attention. Project 2025 telegraphed that his handlers weren't just going in blind this time but had a plan. How did you miss that?
It's a tired comparison but Trump 2 is a lot closer to Reichskanzler Hitler than I expected based on Trump 1.
Which is annoying because it was something mostly the libs called. I was very much on, it's actually not at all unusual for the heritage foundation to propose evil programs.
"Millions have died but they're mostly not Americans so who gives a shit?" - rich white woman in fascist state.
Kinda like a German who doesn't care about the Slavs in the late 1930s.

Are you under the impression that Germans nowadays care or ever cared for the Slavs (outside East Germany)?
"I used to not care about the Slavs, I still don't care about the Slavs but I used to, too"
“I was expecting hitler against me but actually we got hitler against other people instead so its not that bad”.
If i imagine a position of bad and then it doesnt meet that then it means whatever is happening is ok. Capitalism isnt that bad actually
Looks like actual leftist are just ignoring her now so she's got to post ragebait to trigger libs. I wonder how long until her "why I left the left" grift? That might not be a viable pipeline anymore though.
Yeah I think Bryce Crawford is paving the way for the meta of christian nationalist US right wing influencers. But idk these things are tough to predict
Kinda just saying 'it's like biden' or whatever, is she really wrong? Does she realise 'hitler' was probably 'fine' for germans for the first few years?
Whatever, so cool this assimilationist trans person is or was held up like she is, a youtube channel is a glorified newsletter, why do people expect anything more?
remember she owns a full nazi outfit? Anyway
Plainclothes fed brownshirts kidnapping and murdering people btw
Commits genocide
Fully mobilizes Gestapo
Crashes global economy
Oh thank God, I though things were going to get bad for a second there.
I know she depends on rage baiting to have any engagement nowadays, but to whom, besides being rage bait, is this supposed to appeal to? Republicans libs? Libs hate Trump, even if it's for dumb and wrong reasons, I doubt any lib would say "oh trump is not that bad". At this point why doesn't she just go full chud grifter?
It's not adaptive for anything in particular. There doesn't need to be a rationality or a constant selection pressure, it's a human brain with limited rationality thinking the world revolves around itself.
An "influencer" will just spout whatever's on their mind because that's what their first impulse is. This is the direction in which most social media points people to behave.
She’s so fucking stupid, I’m legitimately embarassed to know her name
Professional political communicator btw
Professional ~~political communicator~~ bullshit spewer btw
i am also glad that it's not worse than it currently is but that's just an odd thing to volunteer unprompted
just an odd thing to volunteer unprompted
For a normal person, yes. But not odd or surprising at all when your only means for trying to stay relevant is to stir shit and hope people pay enough attention to get mad.
Yeah we are looking at the fall of the empire and the US has run itself in the ground in the war department so probably not doing another Vietnam (hopefully) and the US will finally suffer the consequences of its oil dollar.
For some reason... I don't think this is what she means by this.
Every single tweet I see from ContraPoints is her saying something egregiously stupid and evil, then claiming she said it poorly, then she tries to explain herself but makes it worse. Then repeat until she crashes out. I thought her whole thing was that she could put on a silly costume and explain things. She's in a constant battle with herself.
Also it's very telling that she thought Trump 2 would be the most terrifying possible outcome, while Biden was already in office doing a genocide. A lot of middle class liberals whipped themselves into a frenzy in 2024 believing the next target of genocide after Palestinians would be wealthy American liberals if Trump won. That's what she believed. She believed, for some reason, Trump 2 would target her economic strata and liberal ideology specifically. And who are the actual targets? Oh hey it's the same targets as always: impoverished domestic minorities and overseas Muslims. Wow weird. And this gives ContraPoints a euphoric sense of relief.
"Oh thank God the fascists are still going after poor brown people. I thought I was in danger for a moment!"
I thought her whole thing was that she could put on a silly costume and explain things. She's in a constant battle with herself.
The constant battle with herself is the silly costume now. You are 100% spot on in identifying her cycle, but I would posit that she is not only aware of it too, but that she does it intentionally and by design. Now that putting on a silly costume under bi-lighting and bloviating/sermonizing for hours on youtube is (finally) considered passe, her method for getting attention is that exact cycle you described. She really is that cynical and narcissistic.

I personally don't think she really believed that. She acted as though she believed that, and yes, she all but directly said that's what she believed, but that was all just part of the ruse, the grift, imo.
Team Democrat's method for getting "middle class America" scared of Trump was to tell them, the comfortably affluent white people (technically working class but basically labor aristocracy) that Trump was hitler and that they would be the ones he'd be rounding up and putting in camps. The Democrats couldn't really say they would do anything that would actually be popular with people because either Trump and Team Republican beat them to the punch and already were saying it, or the popular things like no more genocide and healthcare for all were way too far left and would violate the entire purpose of the Democratic party which is preventing leftward movement and ensuring the Overton window has only a rightward trajectory. So Democrats didn't have any workable strategies for winning other than scaring "middle class Americans" into thinking Trump was gonna start coming for them, trying to appeal to the victim complex of the comfortable white people. That's where the liberal narrative about Trump being a threat to people like Contrapoints actually came from. But as usual, it was just another lie, another part of the grift. And she knew that.
Now she can use that narrative, which of course turned out to be false, to act all shocked that it didn't come about and stir up more drama to maintain her own personal relevance.
I thought her whole thing was that she could put on a silly costume and explain things.
She's never been good at explaining things. None of these video essayist people are. That's why their videos are so fucking long, that's just how long it takes them to form a coherent thought.
I would pay good money for her to be forced to read this
"I wrote my tweet in a way I knew would be interpreted negatively to cause a stir and now I'm going to look down on you and write patronising bullshit for interpreting it exactly the way I fucking wrote it"
This woman is a fucking snake, she's doing the exact same fucking thing that literal nazis did for years and years by saying deliberately inflammatory stuff then chastising people for interpreting it exactly as it was written.
It's just so sad to me that at no point in this poor girl's life did anyone ever explain to her that being the last one on the train to Auschwitz is still being on the train to Auschwitz.
I think it's more this than anything else
She can catch that firing squad too
I want her to try to explain this to a room full of every parent who lost a child in the Minab triple-tap
New Jubilee video incoming: Contra vs hundreds of grieving family members
"Millions have died, they mostly weren't whites so it's not that bad"
I think the implication is that it could have been a billion not a million.
That's what I expected.
Tweet is accurate for me.
We are still absolutely on track to hit the barbarism of billions when we exhaust our soil/freshwater/mineral resources, and the logistical chains supporting all technologies since 1880 get obliterated.
The distinction between Trump and a generic Democrat does not alter this in the slightest.
Why did you possibly think this
The only guess I have for why liberals believed this is because the last democratic president was responsible for a genocide. It was completely undeniable that Joe Biden was a mass murderer, and yet somehow liberals still had to believe the Democrats are the good party. So I guess you had yourself convinced that if democrats are good and do genocide, then Republicans will do even worse genocide, in an order of magnitude by 100x or more. Like I remember liberals telling me Trump would nuke Gaza, day 1.
If that's the calculation you ran in your head then I'm sorry to say that you were bamboozled
I have eyes and think critically.
Try it sometime Russian bot lol
Your first line is completely and utterly proven false by your second line.
No one, not a single person, who ever seriously believed in the influence of "Russian bots" is capable of thinking critically.
Liberals will leave Reddit, go to Lemmy and then immediately complain and post in the same way they did on Reddit. If you think here is so full of Russian bots, why don't you go back to Reddit?
Get some new material. You've got a week to think about it.
ok and it turns out your critical thoughts led you to false conclusions by your own admission whereas my Marxist-Russianist understanding of the world was proven correct yet again so I guess we're at an impasse and nothing can be learned
If you expected billions dead you might want to reexamine why that is, because that's ludicrous.
A billion, not billions. Do the math. Use your eyes lol
Use yours? My eyes tell me that billions didn't die. I have no idea what your point even is lol
It's literally not possible to kill 1 billion people without kiling many billions more btw. If you killed that many people (1 out of 8 people on Earth) it would crash the global economy so hard, and likely you'd do a lot of damage by killing them, and start WW3 over it since China/Russia aren't just gonna let America destroy the entire world, that it would easily result in a total collapse of global supply chains and food distribution. Leading to the deaths of probably like 50-80% of the current human population. Depending on how bad it is. But at that point it kind of becomes a self reinforcing collapse where we are reduced down to simply living off what the land directly near us can produce. So 80% is more likely.
Climate change is awesome and should happen sooner rather than later because as the human population grows more people will die from climate change
Lol, maybe take less of whatever you smoked?
Shes gotta stop being so online lol, this is very much like stepping on a million rakes and continuing to do so for like 10 years.
What do people think Hitler was?
This is exactly like with Hitler because this is how it always works, "the violence is fine because it hasn't hit me personally" but it will hit you, especially if you're a trans woman. She must know this at some level, surely. She must know that playing this game won't protect her from them forever, right?
I think she fancies herself one of the good ones...
Literally the point of the poem.
I think this is the most infuriating tweet i've seen since the "i care more about my gay friends than the Anonymized people of the global south" tweet
🥰
