Its time. Its time talk about anti semtic stalinist left. Jessie gender explains it all.
Best highlights:
Well since marx and his antisemtic works to stalinist antisemitism to the current rush of commies who are all antisemitic cause they follow marx and stalin.
Leftist organizing is filled with antisemitism. Why won't condemn china russia or sri lanka for their genocides while only condemning israel. See this is why lot of jewish folk are feeling this anti zionism is antisemitic.
Find nuance within zionism rather than just being anti zionist as all those rabid college protestors
Banning israeli who served in the idf once is not a good look and obviously anti semitic.
Neil druckman is being unfairly maligned.
A lot of leftists praise hamas and that's as bad as idf. Y'all blindly supoort them just cause they are fighting israel. Meanwhile you all ignore sri lanka doing tamil genocide and the ccp doing uyghur genocide. But you all cheer on jewish civilians killed on oct 7.
Equating zionist to white supremacy or white people is very antisemitic. You leftists don't condemn sri lanka or china cause they are not white. This is a common stalinist tradition.
Also hamas is just has their own interests and don't care about jeopardizing palestine's future.
Zionism was not the product of its leaders. Implying they pushed it or they were powerful is antisemitic. It actually formed cause jewish folk escaped persecution and came here. It was a movement cause it has emotional appeal. Zionism is an emotion. Holocaust was the reason for all the jewish folk to form a jewish state.
Do you condemn hamas? Hamas attacks on civillians parallels nazi attacks for the average gentile. Hamas is a fundamentalist antisemitic group.
Every time I try to seriously engage with the topic of antisemitism on the left - since, you know, antisemitism is bad and I don't want to be doing antisemitism - whatever podcast or article or whatever the fuck I read fails at nearly the first hurdle and it basically just turns out to be zionist entryism. Does anybody have not-bullshit recommendations here?
Also I fucking love arguments like:
Meanwhile you all ignore sri lanka doing tamil genocide and the ccp doing uyghur genocide
I could send out an email to the entire company I work at condemning these things and nothing would come of it. If I even hint that I don't love israel to the bottom of my soul in a company meeting I would be fired so fast my head would spin. Wow, which issue am I going to be engaging with more I wonder?
And you can literally fly to the site of the supposed "genocide" and see the region for yourself. Wait, all these Uyghur people are just hanging out and living normal lives? Huh 🤔
Not to mention the stark difference in evidence in regards to China's supposed genocide
We are getting live footage of atrocities from a people who have been cut off from nearly every form of communication, because it's actually really hard to hide mass murder
And the evidence for China trying to kill off the Uighurs is what? A couple of satellite photos of a roof and some easily debunked pictures that were "smuggled" out of the camps
Didn't you see the picture taken from inside a drainage ditch, with the gray filter applied, of a single guard outside a regular administrative building in the middle of a city? If that's not proof of genocide I don't know what is!
Every aspect of anti-capitalist/imperialist thought steers you away from anti-Semitism. You would be hard pressed to find anti-Jewish sentiment in any active leftist space. That's of course not to say it doesn't/can't happen. But any materialist thought completely precludes the whole Jewish New World Order / banker elite conspiracy theories of the right, and we of course don't fall for the anti-Semitic trope of a collective Jewish hivemind with genocidal desires like liberals do.
My first thought would be to point you towards moments in history of sociopolitical trife / mass violence, but my first thought would be of the Holocaust, where leftists were literally the only Jewish allies, and were persecuted alongside them (not to equate the two). Even in Eastern Europe, it was only the left that organized any sort of resistance to the Nazis and Jewish killings and deportations.
But there probably is a moment in history I don't know about where a (even nominally) leftist organization or front fell into anti-semitic thoughts and actions during some struggle. That would be a good place to start. (Then again maybe there isn't.)
I was reading a post in here from like 3-4 years ago where they made a fresh account to concern troll about antisemitism on the left. The account never posted after that.
I don't know whether she lives under some rock. I don't know who like ignores or doesn't know like one of worst atrocities in the region.
Its very bizarre to be like "oh the college protesters or vocal anti zionists don't mention genocidal regime of sri lanka, hmmm curious ". I wonder what her opinion is of the ltte.
(sorry deleted this on accident just now)
Sri Lanka is participating in Operation Prosperity Garden meaning they are complicit in Palestinian genocide. I'm willing to bet Jessie either does not know, does not care or thinks this is good.
Sri Lanka is participating in Operation Prosperity Garden, making them complicit in Palestinian genocide. I'm willing to bet this youtube either does not know, does not care or things it is good.
This just shows me that radlibs are best when their only targets are people like Ben Shapiro. As soon as they move away from that it’s almost always anti-leftist shit
Yes I was feeling very Nazi today, going to ethnically cleanse my mind right now.
Hamas is a fundamentalist antisemitic group.
Yes Hamas has fundamentals they believe in and fight for while you bootlick for the Zionists in your audience Ms. Jessie Gender while you have no ideas besides the ideology and TV shows you grew up with.
Imagine being a YouTuber and having to make four hour long slop. I just couldn't, how can you even engage with something on a purely intellectual level like this and say that you're confident you're informing people correctly, for such a long period of time too? It's remarkable how so many anticapitalists can have the contours of their views molded by capitalist hegemony and barely even realize it.
Oh ho ho ho, she even goes on a mini rant about how people called her out for her andor video repeating propaganda. She just rants on about gulags and stalin. And how her views are molded by facts and tankies won't accept it.
Okay, before I start, I'd just like to thank SquareSpace for sponsoring this video, thanks to them I managed to make Sovi.et, the premier online space to read theory and get in touch with other comrades
Yeah but he was engaged on the local struggles, I can't imagine Jessie Gender is if she's making four hour YouTube videos which highlight poor qualities that may be present but are ultimately nonreflective of the ML (or "Stalinist") left
So many youtubers are convinced that length of video = depth of video. They believe that the longer the video the more "thorough" they are.
Longer videos have also become better for the algorithm, so they all tend to do longer and longer content for that reason as well. Plus making a stream of consciousness rant requires less editing than turning 4 hours of discussion of a topic into a neat and organised half-hour video.
lmao love all the positive comments on a 4hr video 2h after its release. Informed people who have absolutely listened to and engaged with the material, I'm sure
One of the referenced book in the segment about the left. Thanks to the brave author for strongly critcizing the cancer that is stalinist russia. Thank you labour mp for standing against antisemitism on the left.
The youtube ones I guess tend to be the white, more privileged ones, access to inherited money and stuff. See also Natalie Wynn, contrapoints, lmao. Assimilationist queers have never been our allies tbh.
It's just bread tube and white queers, the YouTube space is actually getting better with queer creators but they're just so under the radar when the air is taken up by a blonde white trans woman whining about Stalin coming to take her civility away.
Das Capital, volume 1 parts 1 and 2 are somehow shorter than this shit. I don't think there's an excuse for people who indulge in breadtube but not theory.
File this one under the "content creator I sort of knew existed and was familiar with but never actualy watched their videos because I probably knew as much or more than they do on the topic, well turns out they suck so bullet dodged lol lmao even" category.
National and racial chauvinism is a vestige of the misanthropic customs characteristic of the period of cannibalism. Anti-semitism, as an extreme form of racial chauvinism, is the most dangerous vestige of cannibalism.
Anti-semitism is of advantage to the exploiters as a lightning conductor that deflects the blows aimed by the working people at capitalism. Anti-semitism is dangerous for the working people as being a false path that leads them off the right road and lands them in the jungle. Hence Communists, as consistent internationalists, cannot but be irreconcilable, sworn enemies of anti-semitism.
In the U.S.S.R. anti-semitism is punishable with the utmost severity of the law as a phenomenon deeply hostile to the Soviet system. Under U.S.S.R. law active anti-semites are liable to the death penalty.
Anti-Semitism means spreading enmity towards the Jews. When the accursed tsarist monarchy was living its last days it tried to incite ignorant workers and peasants against the Jews. The tsarist police, in alliance with the landowners and the capitalists, organised pogroms against the Jews. The landowners and capitalists tried to divert the hatred of the workers and peasants who were tortured by want against the Jews. In other countries, too, we often see the capitalists fomenting hatred against the Jews in order to blind the workers, to divert their attention from the real enemy of the working people, capital. Hatred towards the Jews persists only in those countries where slavery to the landowners and capitalists has created abysmal ignorance among the workers and peasants. Only the most ignorant and downtrodden people can believe the lies and slander that are spread about the Jews. This is a survival of ancient feudal times, when the priests burned heretics at the stake, when the peasants lived in slavery, and when the people were crushed and inarticulate. This ancient, feudal ignorance is passing away; the eyes of the people are being opened.
It is not the Jews who are the enemies of the working people. The enemies of the workers are the capitalists of all countries. Among the Jews there are working people, and they form the majority. They are our brothers, who, like us, are oppressed by capital; they are our comrades in the struggle for socialism. Among the Jews there are kulaks, exploiters and capitalists, just as there are among the Russians, and among people of all nations. The capitalists strive to sow and foment hatred between workers of different faiths, different nations and different races. Those who do not work are kept in power by the power and strength of capital. Rich Jews, like rich Russians, and the rich in all countries, are in alliance to oppress, crush, rob and disunite the workers.
Shame on accursed tsarism which tortured and persecuted the Jews. Shame on those who foment hatred towards the Jews, who foment hatred towards other nations.
Long live the fraternal trust and fighting alliance of the workers of all nations in the struggle to overthrow capital.
Every trek youtuber is either a Gen x libertarian or a lib stuck in 2015. Someone buy me a computer that I can run video editing stuff on and I will give you the amateur produced communist look at trek about 200 people want. There will be no bisexuality lighting or any fancy film lights, my dim apartment bulbs will suffice and there will be no audio quality to speak of and you will have to focus on the topic to not have it drowned out by background noise and the fact I'll be red lining at all times. Same with metal gear. I'd like to take these people to school cause their media analysis is first year college level at best and going to film school after doing well in English class and filming book reports for a living doesn't mean you're good at it.
Someone else replied so I saw this again. I've got an idea for one regarding Michael Pllars unpublished for being too spicy but leaked online book about the production of star trek insurrection. There's a draft where it's sort of a Heart of Darkness with Data as Kurtz defending the Baku and Picard is working with a 'maverick' star fleet officer who Picard knew in the academy who as described by Michael was essentially a libertarian. I wanna kinda use that as a core to expand on how the post Gene 90s era of trek kept mostly the worst restraints of the Roddenberry Box like misogyny and aside from ds9 his weird ideas about future humans being wooden and emotionless weirdos, voyager mostly shows this. While slowly eroding the more idealistic aspects for humanity to the more idealistic future for the rich white dudes making the show who had become quite successful off of it. How behind the scenes effects what's in front of the camera is kinds rhe most useful political reas you can get from trek, in universe things are either under explained or total nonsense.
Mostly just the highlights written by OP. She spends most of the video whining about civility in front of the camera that's very painful to watch. I think the video is mostly just her trying to keep the Zionist gay yt women nerds in her channel and funneling out the rude stalinists. It's youtube drama masquerading as political commentary.
