the ana kasparian shit is such a bummer
@exiliaex it's bizarre too, and the shift towards this i don't think it's just unique to her, but a handful of influencers are going down this road.
@agreedyboi it's not unique to her. this is a literal case study in how genocidal movements get well meaning liberals to turn against the targets of genocidal violence.
@gayfesh @agreedyboi i suppose the only other one i know of is Dave Rubin, i think. are there more?
@exiliaex @agreedyboi Jimmy Dore, Michael Tracey.
@gayfesh @agreedyboi those were TYT guys??? omg
it is bone chilling to watch Cenk Uygur patronize the trans and condescend to explain why these issues don't win elections and 'yall need to just cool it'. if people can't get their medication or keep their jobs they really aren't going to give af about Dems being in office. why is this so hard to understand? god, I hate that guy
@exiliaex it's horrible. It succeeds in everything they want. It Delegitimises the minority. Breaks down defensive and protection for that minority. Cenk even classes trans issues as in the way, as enemy. We all know how Cenk thinks as well. Anything that hurts the success of the Democrats might as well be republican. Every action by this within the eyes of TYT is justified now.
@exiliaex @agreedyboi plus like, that's been the trajectory of everyone who got prominent from TYT other than Hasan. They realize the money's on the right.
