    Ah yes… Vaush.

    Kinda empty when a monetized “socialist” whines about someone else being bought.

    But yeah, Joe Rogan sucks. Vaush sucks for the same reason. They’re both sucking on the same algorithmically monetized teets.

      You’re going to equate a streamer who does no ad sponsor reads to a Podcaster with a 250 million dollar contract? Who would you even listen to that would clear your criteria? Insane.

        I’m saying they’re in the same business. Sure Joe Rogan is more successful than Vaush, but they’re doing the same thing.

        They both create para-social communities (which is why you feel the need to stick up for him) where they create controversy to generate revenue. Just because you have a para-social relationship with Vaush doesn’t make you any different than those that have a para-social relationship with Joe Rogan.

        You honestly think Vaush would turn down a $250M contract with spotify if it were offered?

        If you do then be sure go to https://vaush.gg/merch and buy some shit to support your “socialist” hero (who is currently worth over $2M) LOL. Maybe if Vaush has the same level of wealth as Joe Rogan we’ll be living in a socialist paradise, because that’s how things work, right?

        Monetized socialism is the future!

            No socialist movement will ever succeed if the working class isn’t onboard with it. A trust fund baby like Vaush doesn’t appeal to the working class.

            Didn’t they teach that to you in your poli-sci classes?

              Yes, and Bernie, Hasanabi, Mehdi, AOC, and Jon Stewart are all too rich now. Congrats, you’ve got nobodies.

                Yes it’s typical of the modern “socialist movement” to consider the entire working class to be “nobodies”.

                This is why socialism is a joke. Capitalism has successfully packaged it as product to be sold to edgy teenagers.

                  If you can’t have figurehead you can’t have a movement, you are just a child that thinks “money bad” and has never moved on from that.
