One of the Amazing Athiest's latest videos has none other than pronounjak:

in the bottom right corner.

Did pronounjak spread from hexbear to other sites? Or is it confirmed that the Amazing Athiest lurks on here?

Either way, this is an intersection of internet culture 10 years (at least) in the making.

TJ is left now? when did that happen

[-] dead@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think that TJ may be left in a v*ush-type way. TJ has always had reactionary beliefs while claiming to be liberal. As the other comment mentions, he was pro-Bernie in 2016 and I remember at the time there some attempts to make TJ the face of the "bernie bros" because he was pro-Bernie while also having made sexist content. Despite TJ making sexist and somewhat racist content up until at least 2016, he was still anti-republican and in some ways pro-LGBT from the start.

In the recent years, maybe since covid, his position seemed to change from antiwoke/anti-SJW to prowoke/proSJW, in his terminology. In the video of the thumbnail of this post, TJ is arguing against an antiwoke youtuber. I don't think he's actually read any left economic theory like Marx or Kropotkin or whoever. He had a video 1-2 years ago where he said that he was refusing to read theory because he was lazy.

The most recent interaction I could find between TJ and V*ush was 8 days ago on a podcast called Deep Fried Fat, podcast owned by TJ also features his friend Paulsego and his brother Scotty. I skimmed a few minutes of the 2 hour video and it seems like V*ush is arguing that people should vote for Biden in 2024 and everyone else is arguing against voting for Biden.

It would be funny if he was on hexbear but more likely one of his fans gave him the meme image. I am happy that he has somewhat changed his ways, he's no longer leading the anti-SJW youtube, but I still can't stand to watch his videos.

Oh cool, so he's literally just another shoeonhead, another ex gamergater asshole who everyone will pretend is left because he wants healthcare until he inevitably goes mask off and everyone pretends they were never taken in by his "change"

Been a few years I think. I'm pretty sure it began around Sanders' 2015 ascendency but could be wrong, I've seen TAA two times in the last decade.
