You may not like to hear this, but one of the main reasons communism isnt more popular is because communists themselves are mostly a bunch of lame weirdos, especially western ones
I agree. Also most leftists are just broke losers and pseuds with virtually no credentials lmfao
1 7th of the world is communist, this is purely a westoid problem
>>758969Agreed, but their anti-imperialist messaging does most of the heavy lifting, even Russian porkies and Iranian clerics manage to get high aproval ratings with these talking points
I'm a liberal and a common saying in liberal communities is "I hate communists much more than I hate communism"
We need a communist vtuber with the humor style of a Pipkin Pippa.
Like I enjoy Futakuchi Mana, but she book smart and dignified. Makes her calming to watch, but there's a clear lack of a dirtbag left in the vtuber space.
Current dirtbag left is all fleshtuber sausagefest podcasts trying to poorly emulate cum town or chapo.
>>758972find me the political belief system whose dedicated followers are not mostly lame and annoying and weird
>conservatismyour fat uncle who complains about the transes at every family gathering
>neoliberalismsweaty balding middled-aged econ nerds with substacks
>alt-rightdo i need to say anything?
if you want to be cool and popular don't get into politics lmao, be normal
>>758995I could do it but I'm an ugly fat cis hetmoid, not a cute girl
>>759004>I'm an ugly fat cis hetmoidso are most vtubers i'm pretty sure
>>759004>>759015You dont need to be a girl to be a vtuber.
You can be an in shape handsome guy
>>759004Voice training is pretty effective. Even the cis vtubers seem to have done enough voice training to casually pull off voice actor stuff while reading game dialouge.
>>759004If you have nice baritone voice you could be male vtuber, woman like that and this community could use more of them to fix the abysmal gender ratio.
But can't I just bee myself? Is there no market for sexualizing fat ugly neckbearded slobs?
>>759033Well it's an audio clarity thing, an untrained voice is hard to hear without subtitles, and vtubers are usually something you put in picture-in-picure in the corner while doing other stuff.
There's quite a market for the unkempt, but they gotta speak with the clarity of a professional.
>>758985truly there is nothing more heartbreaking than the contempt of that ideal of personability and humanity, the liberal
>>759042You're just mad because anon is correct
Communism is hindered because of communists.
"But the CIA made me do it" is the number one defense used to explain the failure of communism
>>759070what you're saying has nothing to do with the post i quoted, whose sentiment is that i should feel really wounded by the fact that pro-genocide wine moms and reddit soyboys find me in some way "annoying"
>"But the CIA made me do it" is the number one defense used to explain the failure of communismi'm one of the most consistent critics of lefty excuses for the historical failures of communism in this website, and even i know this is a retarded thing to say lol. the "number one defense" for the failure of communism is that proletarian communist uprisings only ever took place in undeveloped agrarian states
>>759026voice training is easy when it's within your sex
if you're male you need to train talking, laughing, coughing, sneezing, screaming (near impossible), singing (actually impossible for 90% of people), etc
it will take years
The ones you hear about, yeah. Most of the commies i know irl are rad as fuck. Granted they're still pretty weird. I dunno, I've never encountered any of the stereotypes in person, my commie friends are all musicians and shit.
I'm including anarchists because irl we actually get along great, and they're way more common in these parts.
>>759077>the "number one defense" for the failure of communism is that proletarian communist uprisings only ever took place in undeveloped agrarian statesExplain why the Soviet Union failed.
Also, there were a lot of developed industrial countries that accepted communism and they either failed or gradually liberalized.
China is called "communist" but they are capitalistic.
>>759100The soviet union came out wrong like a baby that got dropkicked mere minutes after birth, it's a miracle they survived for 75 years and accomplished as much as they fid.
There was a slim chance that the cripple would win despite missing legs if they managed better, but we can't be unreasonable and expect them to have triumphed as a given
>>759085From personal observation, the functional normies get into socialism early, are involved in activism in their teens,, come from politically conscious families, while people who arrive to it later in life tend to be weirdos.
>>759105Or rather, the ones who are into socialism and aren't weirdos are involved in community affairs.
They aren't as obnoxious about their policies
Yeah and you're one of them.
>>759106I am talking about my experience with actual local politics and orgs. When I say weirdo I dont mean it as an insult, but people who are in some way abnormal.
>>758969???
China is not communist
Vietnam is not communist (and never was neither under Ho Chi Minh, he was an anti-American ultranationalist guy lol)
North Korea is a pseudo-feudalist country labeled with communist iconography
Venezuela is a failed Kleptocracy with feudalistic intent
The only modern communist states that I could think of rn are either Laos or Cuba…
>>758967on the one hand this is true of many communists, but on the other it is (for a variety of complicated reasons) why communism has never been more popular in the english-speaking west. why most of the high-status content creators are at-least socialist sympathetic and often outright willing to say they're communist.
(basically, at a certain stage of being uncool - particularly if
directionally it suggests things you want to be associated with, the lameness of a movement inverts and draws in cool people, safe in the knowledge they won't be confused for the annoying losers it's traditionally associated with, emphasizing their coolness because they can avoid that association.)
>>758995without disagreeing or condemning, this is evidence towards my theory: vtubers are lower status than face-showers. anime is in a weird superposition where it really depends on how into it you are and what your affect towards it is. showing off random anime knowledge very rarely is cool, being too into it is uncool. you get leftist anime pfps, but all else being equal they're more likely to be rightists. furries, the opposite is true.
And communists and anarchists are portrayed by elite-owned media as blue-haired, pedo, crybaby furrycacas. Not every communist and anarchist is like that. The media wants you to become society's little bitch
>>764390The influencers are not communists man. People like Hasanabi for example shows communist aesthetic but also very friendly towards religion. To put a broader point, most people's conception of Communism is a high tech, socially liberal state like China. Not violent overthrow of existing class relations and radical reorganization of human society. Much like our chud counterparts our actual politics are often relegated to xitter or some fringe academic community filled with people who take anxiety medications
post phenotype
It's because most commies are gay or trans and straight people would never support that.
