If you want to ostracise Beau from the left the pathway to doing so has already been laid out by the anti-Vaush campaign. Create a masterlist of problems, write up bot responses for it, get it installed in as many leftwing subs as possible auto-responding to “Beau”. You’d need to know people in those modteams for this, or know people that know people, most of the left will jump on-board if you get 2 or 3 well known ones doing it though.
A subreddit dedicated to the cause similar to EnoughVaushSpam is another possibility, but Beau might not be controversial enough to produce enough content to populate one.
This is all not really very difficult but requires someone with the motivation and time for it.
I watched a few of his videos years back and they were alright, but the content itself wasn’t super interesting and his fake southern good ol’ boy schtick was painfully thin so I never kept up. Then I hear about this sometime during the official pandemic and refused to watch anything in passing anymore.
My coworker who still talks about Ukraine when all the other libs have forgotten about the topic, and who previously tried to get me to watch Vaush, and used to regularly try to encourage me to GM adversarially in my Werewolf the Forsaken game when I gave my other coworker Cliff’s notes on my sessions, has mentioned this slaver positively TWICE.
Uh, anyways, I don’t think restorative justice is for slavers, or that even if it were you should be a multi-millionaire (with money made from your slaving) f-list YouTube celebrity when it’s done.
Once again vindicated for not watching “BreadTube” slop.
One time someone on here tried to argue to me that reading theory was too hard and it’s the same to just consume someone else’s summary. Sounds great until your only knowledge of socialism is a convicted sex trafficker/pedophile YouTuber explaining to you how Lenin would have voted for Kamala
I maintain that if a socialist movement actually requires a majority of its membership to have actually read every volume of capital cover to cover and be able to write a college level paper on the subject: we all might as well just take the black pill right here and now because comrade that just simply ain’t gonna happen.
Reading theory should always be encouraged but like it or not: any organized mass movement is going to depend on people who are operating purely on the cliff notes.
Precisely why everyone should be encouraged to read theory, even if not everyone actually ends up doing it. The more people who have actually read theory, the more people can get away with having read the summary
As an English teacher, trust me when I say that no one is less under the illusion that everyone will do the assigned reading than me
