How can you pay to study philosophy, make enough millions you don't need to ever again lick any boot to be considered a RespectedPhilosopher^TM^ and yet choose to be a fucking idiot and a sleazebag

How else to get the Shillery KKKlinton collab? confused-glee

I think she's just always been a lib. She just seemed further left at the time when she got popular because of how dominant right wing YouTubers were

[–] CrawlMarks@hexbear.net 19 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

She had genuinely good anti-capitlasit videos at one point. So it feels weird that it was just a phase for her

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 24 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

I think she's self aware and made the choice of money and self-interest. She knows exactly what the left's points are but she wanted to be mainstream and taken seriously as a figure in media rather than shunned off to the side by establishment media.

The thing is that she cut her teeth creating a left wing audience and everyone fucking hates her for that turn which causes her a lot of emotional distress and affects her motivation to do anything. So she just sorta floats and does nothing now.

Her ex, philosophy tube is meanwhile doing the grift better and has landed some minor Hollywood roles.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 11 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

They dated? That's fucked up.

Ill just post a screenshot from the reddit thread that came up when I tried to Google how I knew this.

Here's the full thread. There is a lot of bullshit in this, but I think its safe to believe they did date

If there was no sexual assault involved how the fuck could she "me too" them??????? Contra is such a piece of shit.

PhilosophyTube too though is just an intellectual. Socdem barely demsoc in attitude. People with that behaviour are not revolutionary and always sheepdog people.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 6 points 20 hours ago

From what I read further in the thread is the person who could be 'me too'd' is a different person than Philosophy Tube but 4xhan decided it was the same person while being weird about it.

enough of PT's fans are to her left, or left of what she feels like she can say without risking her new acting career, that she gets shit on in the comments at least.

I remember hearing she mostly studied Kant and then dropped out. That does follow

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 27 points 1 day ago

She's basically in the same position as normal establishment shill pop-academics but with even less credibility or qualification.

[–] jack@hexbear.net 7 points 19 hours ago

Probably all the philosophy study tbh

[–] regul@hexbear.net 7 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Millions? Really? Did she make that much you think?

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 2 points 11 hours ago

There's a lot of patreon piggies out there and time runs fast, she became famous ten years ago.

[–] Kefla@hexbear.net 13 points 22 hours ago

I'd be surprised if she didn't, that's pretty standard for the modern popular ""influencer""

She apparently has about 22k paying patreon members which means she's making at least $44000 a month on patreon, almost certainly closer to double that, and that's before considering any money she makes from actually doing stuff
