RT @_heartsucker@twitter.com [Bio-location set to "Berlin", during New Year's midnight 2018/2019]:
Does anything say NYE like shooting off fireworks in front of a women’s prison? Here’s to a 2019 full of liberation.

For a world without prisons.

And until we reach that world, spending this evening shooting off fireworks with friends and strangers is the best way I could have spent it. I love y’all.

Just look at Contrapoints and how she is only a few steps away from truscums.

This is exactly what I am talking about. People with large social capitals rarely change their stand. And Youtube is built on the basis of accumulating cults of personality. It fester reactionaries to its very core. While I think left youtubers are important similar to leftbook in radicalizing novice, supporting them is a double edged sword.

@garfiald I think getting the first part done is already enough troubles in a lot of cases.

@garfiald That works too. Doesn't matter how it is done, as long as it is public. I would only resort to callouts should the said person refuse to listen.

@garfiald Most of the time, the reason they don't want it to be said in public is to preserve their social capitals and I absolutely will not stand for that.

@garfiald They will get better if they can own up to their mistakes in public.

@garfiald
"political take which you disagree" can be something which is very serious. As I said, this is very subjective. The argument of "purity politics" doesn't apply in a lot of case because the severity of these announcement is very subjective

@garfiald You're assuming they would normally be reasonable and have not hold onto something even worse beneath surface. I have tried to "talk things out" with these cases. Chances that it works I can count on the tip of my fingers. It's better to expose them in public. If they make a public apology, good for them. If they don't, then their reputation takes the toll. Make this more of a case for popular ones. One need to take responsibilities for owning social capital.

Hold on I'll get the receipt.

@garfiald
Depends on how you interpret "disagreement". Also, while I find the concept of internet clout points to be absolutely abhorrent and fueling social capitals, I do support public call out as keeping unchecked reactionary tendencies hidden can breed catastrophe, especially if the said subject is holding large amount of social capitals.

Wait isn't Game Grumps a bunch of reactionary pedos?
