Left-leaning content creator Contrapoints released a new video. r/Breadtube argues if Contra is truly a leftist or a liberal shill whose fans barley even watch her videos

Natalie Wynn, AKA the Youtuber Contrapoints, is one of the biggest left-leaning content creators on YouTube and arguably one of the founding members of "BreadTube" a fan label to describe leftist Youtubers like her, PhiliosphyTube, Hbmomberguy, and Shuan among others. She released her yearly video, an almost three hour long video on conspiratorial thinking. This got posted to the subreddit r/breadtube and if you can believe it, infighting about her, her content, and if she was left leaning enough began almost immediately.

I was unaware so many people dislike contra lol what the hell

If your leftist tent is not big enough for fucking Contrapoints, your chances of making one iota of positive difference in the governance of this country are royally fucked

The unending purity tests are so fucking exhausting and sad.

It's tiresome to hear the 'everyone to the left of me is just virtue signalling' shtick from progressives that we genuinely do share politics with on most issues, usually over what amounts to a difference in theories of change. It's also massively hypocritical to demand cooperation and accuse fellow leftists of purity testing when you're basically doing the same thing except instead of purity it's some arbitrary benchmark of what 'pragmatic politics' is. Newsflash: the people the same distance to your right also think you're a purity testing Idealist who needs to get on board with Democrats' anti-immigration messaging or whatever too.

Most of the people suddenly deciding to post in this subreddit having never participated in it before this video was posted are absolutely in favour of that, hence why when they whine like this they're always non-specific about what is supposedly being purity tested. Half these people would tell you it's OK to support genocide so long as it's a democrat doing it. Reminder that this rhetoric is now going on 10 years old. The Democrats just ran a campaign committed to genocide and being pals with Liz Cheney, with Chuck Schumer still talking about sensible republicans who will any day now see the light apparently and giving away all leverage to Trump But no, the real problem is that I saw my youtuber get criticised on the internet and that's a real problem that shows The Left are too pure and are the ones causing fascism apparently.

You’re allowed to not like liberals lol its fine

Preach. I'm so royally tired of cultist leftists, I'm seriously suspecting most of those accounts are right-wing bots.

Having actual leftist beliefs = right wing bots now.

More and more I think badempanada was right when he said the west doesn't have leftists, it has liberals who deeply care about lbtg issues.

My leftist tent is not big enough for liberals who dismiss socialism as the ideology of envy and who invite war criminals over to their home to chat. That's where I draw the line - guilty as charged.

That's not at all what that video was about nor has she implied such an idea anywhere else. Maybe give it another go?

Is platforming left-leaning thinkers part of the ploy to commit more war crimes? lol Quite the opposite. It has the potential to spread leftist ideals that directly oppose such atrocities. But you probably don't care if you focus on purity testing instead of positive change which is precisely the issue.

Pretty sure she’s a Hillary shill

Is she tho lol

The most active comment section is - as usual - a bunch of moronic liberals mad that their favourite youtuber got criticised and filling the entire place with vague, pathetic pre-emptive whining about how the real problem is someone being mean to me on the internet and actually it's the people opposing fascism who are causing it. Really wild how liberals will just gaslight you into pretending Contrapoints hasn't repeatedly made a point to needlessly punch left, then expecting no criticism or pushback and whining when it inevitably happens. Democrats lost because they ran a campaign committing to genocide and parading around with Liz Cheney, not because people pointed out Contrapoints is perennially short sighted and dumb as absolute fuck. Imagine willingly paling around with Hillary Clinton, someone who has spent the entirety of her time doing literally less than nothing post 2016 whilst still having smoke for relitigating Bernie Bro type bullshit. It is entirely fair and entirely correct to point that out.

What did she do with Hillary?

Appeared in a series from Hillary where shes very friendly with her. No real criticism or pushback on anything Hillary has said or done, just chumming it up as part of a largely vapid and empty segment.

Hillary Clinton is a war criminal. She's responsible for countless deaths. Not to mention what she did to Haiti. Contra points' appearance aided in Hillary's rehabilitation and rainbow-washed her image.

Do you think if Contrapoints took the opportunity to platform leftist ideology on Hillary Clinton’s show, she’d be allowed to call out Hillary Clinton’s crimes on said show? Do you think she wouldn’t be silenced or her segment wouldn’t get cut? Do you think that wouldn’t prevent her from other opportunities to be platformed in mainstream media? Do you think she shouldn’t have gone on the show at all? If so, do you think she shouldn’t take any opportunity to platform and normalize left wing politics to liberals and moderates?

Lol goddamn Breadtube really is the most lib sub that thinks it's leftist. I like Contra for what she is but she absolutely isn't doing leftist politics in her videos.

The Hilary Clinton liberal has returned

Eventually, a Mod Post gets stickied going after Contra for being a liberal and her fans for defending her.

At this point in time—more than 12 hours after posting, and well past most people here's evenings—there doesn't seem to be a single comment about the actual content of this video. The thing this post seems to prove is that even ContraPoints' most die-hard fans—who will follow any posts about her anywhere and everywhere on the Internet and will defend her liberalism to the death—can't be bothered to actually watch her videos.
