Yesterday I came across a clip of Hillary and Chelsea Clinton’s new show called “Gutsy”, which is ostensibly about highlighting what various “gutsy women” have accomplished.
Like you, and many on the left, I thought Contrapoints's Envy video was a major blunder, but the solidarity-crushing purity derby is a worse problem than one breadtuber making a mistake. I'll still look in on her content when she tackles something I'm interested in.
Though I do prefer Abigail Thorn. Also a trans advocate, Marxist, and philosopher, but with a bit less of... that.
I've always had some issues with Contrapoints videos, not only the couple of new ones, but even before them. That being said, I've also thought she's "decent" overall.
I'm aware people might "close an eye" on the figures that aren't in the spotlight recently, and people can always change, right? The issue is... WE KNOW SHE HASN'T. During most recent election she was demonizing Bernie, there's no way you can forget that so fast, right?
I don't mean it in a "Bernie was the saviour" way, however, I can understand how someone can not notice all the problems with Hillary were if they're relatively new to following US politics and every major politician is corrupt and it's swept under the rug by media. But Hillary's disdain to Bernie wasn't.
I'm certainly disappointed in Contrapoints, even if I didn't really consider her videos "amazing".
One question to squirrel - do you have any source of Natalie earning "millions a year"? I certainly doubt it's the case but I can't say I know that for sure. Other than that, you're great as always.
Do you know who is a TERF too? Noam Chomsky. Recently I asked him to sign a manifest supporting transwomen's human rights and he said no thank you, that those "transwomen's" rights intrude with women's rights, like destroying women's sports, and make women feel uncomfortable, who already fought hard for sex-segregated spaces. So take it into account when you cite him.
”forget denying someone’s humanity over doing something“ — all American politics are liked that, and also you have found some videos to support that view too in some ways. I am sorry that was my original opinion suggestion for you at that time. Yas, even if so many criticize about those commentators but they seemed trying to pretend they are innocent. That’s simply perinatal interest driving, seem they have sick skin never mind your feelings.
Problematic favs are problematic.
I wrote a little commentary piggybacking on your original twitter thread on this issue. https://rdsathene.substack.com/p/like-mother-like-daughterclinton

Thank you for the kind words!
To answer your question, if you add up the patreon with ad revenue, donations, merch, stream income it comes to something like that.
