Even in leftists spaces this guy’s qualities are outsized and graded on some ridiculous curve. Literally just saw a video of him speaking about race essentialism and I’m honestly rethinking whether I’m living on the same planet with even people I call conrades

Just because he’s tapped into the sentiments of libs doesn’t make him charismatic

    reminds me of the way liberals pretend Hitler was some sort of hypnotic wizard to avoid talking about the material basis for his support

      We had some German exchange students at my american high-school. Someone tried talking to them about how Hitler was some great orator and brainwashed the poor German masses.

      The Germans had no idea what they were talking about, and explained how his Austrian accent made him actually kind of hard to understand lmao.

      Liberals love to tell me I’d be a nazi if I had grown up in fascist Germany but like fascists exist now and I think they’re ontologically evil or complete gullible dipshits.

      Furthermore nazi Germany would have probably put me in a camp for being queer and Polish

        And plus, what I’d be if I grew up in Nazi Germany is a completely pointless question, because if I had grown up in Nazi Germany, I’d be a completely different person. I have no idea what this person who shares my genetic makeup would do.

          And then they have the rage-inducing ability to then act flummoxed when some other miseducated dishit reads a transcript and says “some of what this Hitler guy said was alright” while the seething mass of nazis say “we were right all along!”

          Liberalism placed the Hitler rake at their feet and then jumped on it. They’re still stomping on it right now.
