Vaush is a debate bro who values winning arguments above all else, including on topics he knows nothing about. He is a chauvinist who supports the plight of minorities as long as they lick his boots. If they do not, he deems them “subhuman.” He is a self-admitted sexual harasser who gave a dubious apology. Despite describing himself as an anarcho-syndicalist and libertarian socialist, he does not want to abolish the government and he has admitted that his political project is nearly identical with that of social democrats. He has cultivated a cult of personality that deflects all criticism as “out of context” when he himself proudly maintains those positions as “based and high IQ.” Although most of his detractors are hardly better.
If you have a timestamped link that adds context, please let me know and I will add it.

WHY HAVE I NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GO A DAY WITHOUT HEARING ABOUT THIS GUY FOR THE PAST MONTH HOLY SHIT
He’s grown in popularity like crazy recently, which is good and bad. Good because most of his followers are newly recruited baby lefts, bad because he’s turning them all into social democrat sectarian debate lords.
Eh, a lot of them turn off him upon contact with actual MLs.
Boots’ recent post about Anarchism being an important part of the theory we should pull from when adapting to material circumstances really sent them for a spin since of course all “Tankies” hate Anarchists and are only in it for the aesthetic.
