@Timcast What happened to "I disagree with what Patreon has done and encourage you all to donate via alternate means"?

I mean, Chelsea didn’t just chose to stand with the left. She chose to openly align with the Antifa left. The faction that openly tells people open discussion with right wing individuals (all of which they lump in with Nazis) is bad and makes you no better than Nazis. Like no shit her side was going to turn on her when she spoke to openly right wing people and didn’t constantly scream at/shit on them.

She’s clearly trying to get back in their good graces

it blows my mind that a whistleblower could be so ignorant

I mean, just because you’re willing to blow the whistle on government corruption doesn’t mean you’re knowledgeable in politics or even intelligent

It seems like they'd go hand in hand

It just means you have information that proves wrongdoing and a moral compass that’s telling you what the corporation/government is doing is wrong

willfully ignorant "antifa left" supporters would immediately just REEE and call out, they wouldn't even dare attend a right-wing event

this just screams a deceptive motive

Who exactly is she trying to deceive here?

the left i'd say, by basically trying to virtue signal, like "look at me, im fighting the good fight, taking it to THEM"

and i mean decieving for personal gains, not deception to stick it to the left

Eh, I just look at this whole thing, and I just don’t give a shit. Like, why the fuck am I suppose to care who Chelsea Manning spends her free time with? Why does anyone care? Why do I care what her relationship with Cassandra Fairbanks is? Like, I understand why Tim cares, since Cassandra is his friend, but why does anyone who’s not actually friends with either Chelsea or Cassandra give a shit?

Presumably because she is an influential activist figure

I personally don't care, Chelsea doesn't seem to be building a platform for herself

i dunno i only learned this Chelsea manning existed today, and that its in fact a he

but googling around said he/she displayed interest in running for senator, might be trying to ride on some quick fame for being anti-"alt-right" or something, thats usually what progressives gun for these days

So what? Why should someone’s personal life have any barring on their activism?

It shouldn’t.

in a normal society, it wouldn't

in todays politicized society, if you're an activist, your personal life doesn't exist

Martin Luther King Jr. had affairs and was a pretty sexist guy. Who cares when his message is all about equality for all races, and bringing blacks & whites together.

Martian? i think i missed a few chapters 😛 he's from mars now?

Nobody’s perfect. Everyone has flaws. Flawed people can still have good ideas

Stupid autocucumber

Some of the left wants to tear down statues of the founding fathers because they owned slaves.

😄 it was too funny for me to ignore

My tablet likes to make dumb corrections all the time

and well, these days it doesn't matter who you are, what you say or think

Its the public opinion of you that defines you in the eyes of the people

Very few people are 100% good or 100% evil. Even the best people have terrible ideas, even the worst people have some good ones.

well the thing is, we're all human, any person is capable of great heroics and great horrors

and as such it is our actions that should define us, not what we claim to want to be

Guess the left takes going to a party with some people as actions that define manning. Which I find funny but am not surprised by.

well in their eyes, thats fraternising with the enemy

Ffs stop referring to left wing media and far left activists as "the left"

what should they be refered to as?

Anti liberal clowns

Regressive left.

It's just for convenience.

Fair enough

Yeah pretty much.

We all know who’s being referred to.

Even if they're not what the left is suppose to be, they are the current face of it in it's current form, unfortunately.
