That's when you noticed the guy was fucked up. He's been spouting shit long before you noticed that "oh this guy actually sucks" It would be like if you said "oh no Vaush used to be good until he started NATO simping" my brother he was always a pedo-nazi you just didn't see it because he was saying shit you agreed with. How much you agree with someone is the single worst metric you can use for trustworthiness.
I don't know what to say. Good for you that you got something positive out of it, but who knows what kind of damage they've done as well.
Uh oh, what did badempanada do...?
Uh huh... Don't take this the wrong way but I'm not going to trust a zeizek offshoot over "had some bad takes" that sounds like your average cryptofash wrecker shit. Sorry, burnt hard by the la rouchites, learned not to pick any side in drama that isn't the material facts.
You need to retune your compass because, my friend, you are completely out of touch with reality. Your argument boils down to "well he's not a serial killer rapist pedophile" which is not even remotely an acceptable argument to be making. Please rethink your path.
I am going to continue my hardline stance against people who wield fascism because every time I laxed up on that stance, it fucked me over. Yes that means we're going to be put at odds, that's just the way things are. I shot my shot but you're all in, so whatever. I'm moving on.
I usually refer Žižek appreciators to Gabriel Rockhill: Capitalism’s Court Jester: Slavoj Žižek
I'll save this message for the next time I need it, thanks a ton.
