Dude’s being really defensive even though he’s criticized artists in the past for being right wing. It’s times like this I’m reminded that he’s been on multiple v*ush streams too.

    I guess what I’m trying to get at is that I don’t expect these guys like jpegmafia or melonboy to be politically or socially principled because they’re not materially or meaningfully engaged with political activity to begin with. I can’t hear Kanye without thinking of that interview, and I can’t hear rtj without thinking about bank owning landlord killer Mike.

      Melonboy to a lesser extent but Peggy tries to posture as a leftist and anti nazi and I think they’re not above criticism. especially wrt to fascists. If america wasn’t head to toe nazi sympathizers and took a 0 tolerance policy to its normalization on the internet 20 years ago shit would be a lot better, and I don’t think ceding ground to them just bc there’s not a party structure in place that these guys are adherent to is a good idea. I’m not demanding Peggy be a perfect communist I just think drawing the lines at A Nazi is more than acceptable
