I’ve rejected his quirky infographicy bazinga propaganda ever since his “if 99% of humanity was wiped out by an environmental crisis, that’s still a net win for future humanity!” :galaxy-brain: take.
EDIT: Yes, it was an established poster, not a wrecker; I didn’t name names because I didn’t want to start that specific struggle up again.
Yes, I didn’t like it and I feel vindicated about Kurzgesagt being lib propaganda with every additional video that Kurzgesagt comes out with. Being told “if you ignore X Y and Z Kurzgesagt actually has great takes about specific topics” :morshupls: was bullshit to me then and is bullshit to me now. Have grievances with me if you must about that. :ok:
Dunk me if you will, but in the case of Kurzgesagt defending, it was an established poster, definitely not a wrecker. I hope they changed their mind eventually.
I may have been a radlib at the time, but I don’t think Kurzgesagt was pumping out propaganda from the outset. It was mostly shit about physics and black holes and cool nerd stuff. Feels like all of that was a Trojan horse for the propaganda in retrospect.
In the past I think there may have been some plausible defense for Kurzgesagt videos, even if I hated the cute quirky :reddit-logo: targeting presentation from the start and even recommended videos from well meaning progressives rubbed me the wrong way (the one about “keys to power” comes to mind).
The “99% of humans killed off is a victory for the 1%!” take from Kurzgesagt was so on the nose in favor of :capitalist-laugh: that from that point forward such defenses were inexcusable to me.
I know the exact CGPGrey video you’re talking about too 💀
My mistake, that was a CGPGrey video; I didn’t like his videos either even if the presentation is less slick and big budget sus to me.
I have not seen this one, and I’m so glad I stopped watching holy shit
I believe it was the “what happens if there’s a big calamity that threatens life on Earth” video. Yeah its conclusion was that it’d be great for the 1% that remains, because the implication was, presumably, that :porky-happy: can repopulate the magically livable planet after the worst was over.
Translating from Ulysses talk: “I’ve seen people defending X even on Hexbear” usually means “there was a wrecker with a bad take two years ago and now I’m going to make it sound like it’s a common thing.”
I’ve seen his shit defended here before.

I hear way more people talking about seeing bad opinions on hexbear than I see myself, are you sorting by modlog or something?

In the cause of Kurzgesagt, it was not a wrecker; it was someone with an established post history. I just didn’t name names.
