I'm making a part 2 if you don't like any of these. Just give me a little bit of time to make it.

Also, it was supposed to be "trans/nonbinary". I'm not trying to say they all are both.

Oh hey! I can post about our show here now!

For those of you who don't know, I'm Jay! And I run a D&D 5e actual play show on YouTube called "What's Left of Us" with Zoe Bee, @thestarfishface, MegaRon, Wild Jinx, and Thought Slime! We run on the last Friday of every month, which means our next episode is tomorrow at 2pm EST! You wanna see what it's like? The villain they're about to fight has a fabled artifact called "The Butt Crown".

We're also continuing our donation drive for the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund, so maybe help spread this around? I think you're gonna like it, and I hope you all stop by!

Oh hey I just joined tumblr so I figured I'd make a lil introduction post.

I'm Andrea, a trans woman in her 30s and a tech artist in the video games industry. Right now I'm working at Iron Gate studio on Valheim!

In the past I've done lots of other fun 3D art things like work on an official Doctor Who game, and I also made Mildred Thoughtslime's old 3D background for her videos.

When I'm not working you can find me playing the EWI (electronic wind instrument!!!) or most likely streaming myself at https://twitch.tv/andiicraft pretending to be a Deputy in the wild west. Or relatively wild, anyway - it's 1902 after all.

The breadtuber is making a 45 minute video about a time when another leftist used ten second clip of them to make a point about how the left appears to outsiders. Something that is both normal to do, and an effective form of praxis.

What makes a leftist?

There's a whole lot of leftists on the interwebs today, mostly Americans, and every once in a while we find out that a particular person (this week it was Ana Kasparian) is not actually a leftist at all and completely fine with parroting far right talking points.

And we notice that although they seem to have been an advocate for social justice and marginalized groups, they have mainly been reacting to whatever bullshit the right is pulling. Understandable,but not conducive to actually pass out the politics of someone. Being against the genocide of trans people in the US doesn't make one a lefitst, it just makes you a decent person.

Which begs the question: What makes a leftist?

For me it's anti-capitalism. It is also anti-fascism, but even liberals can be anti-fascists.

But anti-capitalism IMO is a stance you cannot go back on. Once you understand how capitalism works, once you grasp the underlying exploitation and the fundamentially incompatable interests of working class and owning class, you cannot go back. You cannot wake up one day thinking: You know what? The means of productions don't belong into the hand of the workers.

That is the fundamental difference between a liberal and a leftist. Liberals still uphold capitalism. They can be the nicest people and super involved with progressive causes, but at best they are ignorant and believe the lie that capitalism is just how things are.

It can be difficult to parse however if a certain person is an anticapitalist or not. Again, you don't need to be a leftist to be against the growing fascism in Europe and North America, against ecological destruction, against trans genocide, against police brutality, etc. That just makes you an empathetic person.

It is also normal to be confused as colloquially terms like left, socialism, anarchy, communism are used wildly outside their actual meaning. Not to mention the buzzwordsalad spewed by the right. Consequently being a leftist also means you have read up at least a little on theory and understand that for example Scandinavia isn't socialist at all since the workers don't own the means of production. That politicians like Bernie Sanders are just nicer liberals, social democrats in his case, believing in a mixed economy. That there are no viable leftist political parties anywhere in Europe or North America, no matter what they call themselves.

Being a leftist can mean that you fall into one of the many schools of thought between Marxism, socialism, communism, anarchism, syndicalism, or their various combinations or none of them. But it means you are an anti-capitalist and understand capitalism as the underlying source of all intersectional ills that plague humankind today. From racism, climate catastrophe, income inequality, nazis to war and Elon Musk. It's all connected. It's systemic.
