    Just another iteration of, "We should improve society somewhat." "Ah, but don't you benefit from society? Checkmate!"

    The non controversy was that this person used BLM funds to purchase the properties for which there isn't evidence. That she bought multiple properties since - I believe - 2016 is factual

    It drives me crazy when people with no concept of how tax works talks about tax.

    It gives me the warm fuzzies to see so many MMOC posters come together and agree on something, so thanks for the trash thread topic, Milchshake, you're bringing people together.

    All income is suppose to be claimed for taxes. Doesn't matter the source. Do you suspect her of tax fraud or something?

    My first reaction to this thread is that it sounded like something Ben Shapiro or Tucker Carlson would make a big deal about.

    Then I googled it...

    Lol.

    This is an even worse take than when people flipped their shit when Bernie Sanders released his taxes and earned a million dollars.

    Her money she can do what she wants with it. Watched the tour video man looks like she got ripped off on that apartment. The way it's furnished really looks like someone is either a minimalist or "house poor".

    I wish her all the best of luck and hope she starts saving for when age catches up and people stop throwing money at her because she looks cute in a short skirt.

    One shouldn’t get to follow “influencers” (or even just know who they are, seriously, who the hell is this?) and complain about them at the same time. Also, 2 million = multimillion is also rather amusing. Literal bare minimum to qualify as such. Wait till 8 digits to complain at least.

    I'm fairly certain that it's possible to be rich and to want to tax the rich at the same time. I could be wrong, but I'm not.

    Biden had a podcast before he started his preside bid. The Obama's have a podcast circuit. Hell it's Obama's use of social media that set him apart from the dinosaurs he ran against. Only liberals and conservatives can have podcasts?

    If we get more Biden Bucks I'm sending them her way.

    To be fair, it really isn't about Bernie. It's about some of the people who latched on to him like the "dirtbag left" grifters who try to appeal to both the alt-right and progressives/lefties who are frustrated with status quo/conservative dems. I don't think Neeko qualifies as she's just an attractive young woman who makes her money from gaming streams, but there are people out there peddling quasi-left, anti-sjw garbage via their podcasts and Paetrons. Once you get a whiff of their bullshit you can identify them pretty easily. They're not all that different from the "I'm really a true liberal being forced to the right because the gosh darn left has gone nuts" crowd. Red Scare and Joe Rogan come to mind.

    I would not call them the dirtbag left, because that term was started by the chapo trap house podcast who shit on the alt-right like no other.

    Shakes' shtick is the enlightened establishmentarian "liberal". He does a lot of virtue signaling but ultimately he is solidly in the "more or the same" camp.

    I sincerely doubt he'd understand what progressivism is, even if it bit him in the ass. All he knows is that the DNC is good, virtue signaling is good, and anyone and anything challenging the DNC is bad. Whether left or right.

    His politics are skin deep and is more about belonging to a camp than any internally coherent value system.

    I'll take your word on it because I don't listen to them or know much about them. The first place I saw the term used was here: https://www.spiked-online.com/2019/0...nti-woke-left/

    Oh, I'm aware. He's usually pretty good at identifying and attacking both. Though he can overshoot his mark at times.

    The dem cheerleading can be a bit much, but when your opposition is literal fascism I think it's understandable at the very least.
