I do think that yeah. She never recanted her fascist "anti-SJW" stances. I think people like her are just waiting for the DNC to ratfuck Bernie or for Bernie to say trans rights or something so they can pivot back to "the left has gone too far and conservatism is the new punk"

Agreed. I know nothing about this lady, but in general it's important to let people outgrow their dumbfuck phase. A lot of goons went through a libertarian phase way back when, and we're all glad most of them grew out of it.

Even an insincere pivot gets the person to engage with ideas and points of view they hadn't considered before. Along with their maturing brain meat this can let them comprehend a more complex understanding of the world.

Nobody should be trapped forever by the mistakes their dumbfuck past self chose.

She’s been weirdly obsessed for years with developing a feud with Kristi Winters, the actual social scientist who slaughtered sargon in a “debate” about whether universities should allow the social sciences to exist.

Post-2016, Winters has become a #stillwithher radical centrist who despises Sanders and blames him for all the abuse she gets from nazis.

I feel like this is somehow tied up in that. I will never trust shoeonhead about anything. She’s as crooked as that breitbart reporter with the stick-on eyebrows.

indeed, I understand and agree with you to an extent regarding allowing a person the possibility of renouncing their sins and becoming better for it

but a wiser old stoner than I once explained that extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence, and in this context “I no longer believe that [most of you] should be genocided” is going to require more substantial corroboration than a handful of steaming fresh internet video content before a lot of folks will put much weight on it, and understandably so imo

tl;dr the way she’s talking is encouraging, but talk is cheap

I'm going to say why I think people are just filled with sour grapes about the fact a LOT of the people liberal culture warriors were actual reactionaries, while the Joe Rogan's and Shoe's of the world were the more complicated (if stupider) ones. And it relates to this...

Epic High Five posted:

Her videos talking about the Democratic Primary versus talking about annoying "Wine Aunts" or "Titty Anime Police" have WAY less views but she's making a lot more of the former than the later. If she were actually ducking or pivoting for clout, it's a dumb move that for some reason she seems to be passionate about. Also keep in mind she voted for Bernie in 2016, tweeting about how real he felt and how much he actually connected to what she felt was important. In fact, for every Sargon, there has been a version of Shoe0nHead that pivoted to Bernie or something. People don't here don't seem to remember that people were loving tired of hypocritical, hollow liberal norms during the second half of the Obama era, but there was no large, present Leftist voice to explain why and they ended up congregating into communities because of a mutual disgust, not ideology. Likewise a lot of peoples faves like Jon Stewart or the Youtube Atheist Owner #34 and...Bernie Sanders were "forced" to work together after Bush was elected or when the Tea Party formed.

Like the truth is, you might have always had more in common with ShoeOnHead politically and culturally than say Kristi Winters, but the fact the internet was still in the Daily Show level of discourse

From the drama that I've seen about her, I think the pivot is based on her strong feelings about queer and trans rights. She sees it as obvious, and doesn't like the hypocrisy of her fans who love freedom but want to restrict lgbt rights.

She won't recant what she said in the past, because she thinks of herself as cool and edgy, and not one of those whiny lefties.

re: shoe0nhead

skepticism over supposedly former chuds/centrists dipshits is 100% reasonable, but i think it's also fine if we allow people to change, assuming they're being genuine. i don't like what shoe has done in the past, but she's also young and stupid, and we were all that way once, so i'm willing to give her a bit more leeway. keep her on a short leash, praise her when she does good, and when she strays, tear her to shreds like with anyone else.

if i can tolerate jennifer rubin and charlie sykes despite their wretched histories, i can definitely tolerate shoe0nhead's path to one day becoming shoe0nbread.

The only things I need from anyone are a convincing explanation for how they got to a point where talking to white supremacists was something normal, why they realized it was wrong, and (if necessary) how they've cut ties with their former life.

Like, I don't need self flagellation or tears of anguish or cries of repentance, but I do need to understand that they understand why they were wrong. Anything less and they're, at best, an amoral grifter who made a bad play, and gently caress those people even if they now want to bilk the left instead. That poo poo is how you get Bill Maher.

she was on vaush's stream the other day and explained why she's shifted, mostly because she wanted to be edgy and immature but then realized it was getting problematic, and honestly, she came off as pretty genuine, imo.

shes married to armored skeptic, who is a tremendous youtube moron, but as long as shes pushing her fans to bernie who cares.

looks like hes scrubbed all political stuff from his channel and in the last four years has only posted movie reviews, so maybe hes also changed.

i think rejecting people turning from the alt right to the left, even in an imperfect form, is not smart.

And I'm really surprised that so many people are willing to give the benefit of the doubt to a youtube personality.
