This person is implying that I put marginalized people in danger, and so I deserve to feel danger. They believe this because Mike tells them I am far right.
A lot of you guys, I assume, get most all of your information about me from Mike and every other creator jockeying for attention from Hasan. A lot of you guys get your information from Destiny hardcore anti-fans, who are some of the most obsessed and untethered people on the internet. You’re told that I align politically with people like Asmongold. That I am basically a Republican. That I support genocide and pedophilia and hate trans people and so on.
Anyone who is actually familiar with my views would hear something like these claims and laugh it off as sarcasm. It is that absurd. On policy I am probably to the left of 90% of the country, but I’m a pragmatist first so I don’t delude myself into thinking everyone thinks as I do or can be easily persuaded into my views. I value winning elections over ideology. I’m no longer angry because people do not think the way I think. Basically I grew up.
And a lot of you guys have probably become so radicalized that you genuinely do regard progressive liberals as reactionaries, as obstacles to class consciousness and revolution. You think you’re fighting a war to end capitalism. So through that lens, you genuinely do regard me as far right.
It’s all pretty silly. People that have been radicalized to that extreme view of politics represent probably <1% of the population, but your space behaves like digital terrorists that brigade and harass people more than MAGA per capita tbh, so most creators have no desire to spar with you. I don’t even fault people for not wanting to deal with you.
Here’s what I can guarantee with 1000% certainty: I am going to continue to vote for and support Democratic Party candidates. I am going to continue prioritizing the threat I believe the Republican Party has become. I will vote straight ticket democrat in Nov, in 2028, in every special election, indefinitely. You guys do not make a right wing shift appealing to me, despite my mentions blowing up with right wingers rolling out the welcome mat. I’m old as fuck and I’ve had a long time to establish what I actually believe in and why I believe those things.
I hope you snap out of it at some point. Most of you are probably young and will look back on this time in your life with cringe at some point. I definitely did. A lot of you guys are probably GONE gone and I’m sure that’s not fun for the people around you. I hope those people find a way out.
I assume that all of this posturing gives you a sense of community and belonging, or is an attempt to feel some semblance of control over things you are powerless to stop. Most of the time, I don’t take it personally because I know who I am and what that is does not at all resemble whatever story you’ve told yourself about me. Admittedly though, I do take it personally when obvious death threats from pathetic, disgusting bullies (that most people spot immediately) are encouraged or hand-waived.
Lol Hutch is having a meltdown and posted screenshots of people “threatening” him and one of them was this
