this is a very dark timeline; the
isn’t supposed to be in the cagethe US Rep from Silicon Valley and this crew seems quite probable psyop territory
anecdotal, but if you search on youtube for ‘naomi wu’, the first 3 results are Vaush, Rebecca Watson and Keffals with some anti-Chinese gov videos from a month ago, so I’m assuming there’s some shared judgement/agenda by those streamers to highlight negative stories about China
This really sucked because I like Naomi Wu and was trying to find out what happened, but can’t get the rundown without it just being chalked up to “authoritarian CCP no free speech” from all the worst people on youtube.
On that note, wtf actually happened does anyone know?
Someone leaked some transphobic shit she did in DM’s, there was a post about it with screenshots on a subreddit I’m subbed to but I can’t seem to find it now unfortunately
Well fuck. I really liked her. Lemmie know if you find it.
It was Brianna Wu, not Naomi Wu. My bad.
Oh thank god. I was in an absolute funk yesterday from hearing that. I’m so glad it wasn’t her.
Yeah sorry about that comrade
wasn’t that Brianna Wu? Naomi lives in Shenzhen China, Brianna is a US-American
Wait Brianna Wu making transphobic comments? That’s even more curious.
I just heard about it from this comment
Brianna Wu is a transmedicalist and assimilationist. She’s extremely transphobic against enbies and anyone she views as a “tankie” unfortunately.
Yeah you’re right, got them mixed up.
AFAIK she got talked to in a police station and decided to pull back her output for the time being. She was trying to white hat a security vulnerability that affected a lot of Chinese devices, but the story got picked up by anti-China tech blogs, and the association stuck to her even though she’s been generally pro-China in the past. It’s not great but it also isn’t the secret police spiriting her away to a labor camp for ten years.
Really aren’t supposed to make exploits you discover public until after you have notified all the proper authorities and waited a specified amount of time to give the effected vendors time to get things patched if possible. Even in the US, just making this stuff public without following these best practices will get you visited by the FBI because they will be wondering if you are naive and need a talking to or you are some kind of agent of chaos wanting to see the world burn.
edit: to cover your ass and prevent companies from trying to pull this shit it’s best to at the same time file a report with the CISA if in the US or the CAC if in China via their websites in addition to making a CVE report.
IIRC she told the company first, but they called the authorities on her, which was the start of the trouble.
Ugggh. I hate it when companies pull that shit. Just wastes law enforcements time and tarnishes the companies reputation. It always backfires spectacularly but some of them still try it rather than saying “thank you” and maybe paying a bug bounty reward to encourage people to not just sell the information to a certain Israeli cyber-weapons firm. Apple used to be famous for doing this shit and even they eventually caved after realizing it was counter productive.
It’s shitty. Hunting down bugs and exploits is a clear social good, but capitalists view it as a threat bc it’s often expensive to mitigate the exploit, especially if it’s hardware or firmware. Getting the cops involved in just dirty. The cops very likely don’t have any sympathy for a random white-hat hacker trying to do a good thing, especially once they get in to a “threat to national security” attitude. I hope Naomi is okay. She’s really vulnerable as an out lesbian and just being an outrageously stylish person. : p
Has vosch stopped pretending being an anarchist?
His way of pretending to be an anarchist has always included being fully on board with the right wing of Amerika’s slightly less right wing party, i don’t see how this changes anything about his philistine charade.
And yes, i think V*ush doesn’t get called philistine nearly often enough.
charlatan is another good one
Remember when he had nothing negative to say to the proud and unrepentant Iraq war demon he was interviewing on stream
Well he also told Hakim that the US should have bombed Iraq more, so i’m not really surprised that the chauvinist ghoul doesn’t push back against an Amerikan war criminal and mass murderer.
Fucking what?
Every day I am more and more vindicated for not knowing anything about v*ush besides his “enthusiasm” for horses
He was “this is less shitty option guy”, now he is “pal around with military industrial complex ghoul” guy. Interesting progression in 3 years, in 30 he’ll probably will be head of space outreach at homeland security
He has a pop culture version of anarchism going on, which is “DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO” and in his case that includes sex offender things.
I am continually baffled by those kiddie diddling cryptofascist fucks being generally accepted as “the left” for purposes of public perception. I know it’s working as intended, but I’m still baffled that it works. They’re the Andy Warhols of our time.
Andy Warhols
Please tell me about that don’t know much about him.
He was one of a number of artists and writers that were selected by federal programs intended to derail socialist messaging in art and literature, usually under the banner of “postmodernism” but not exclusive to it. Basically, Soviet art and literature at the time had rather clear and direct messaging that frightened the ruling class of the western world, so the idea was to subsidize and promote and artificially boost the presence of countermessages that amounted to “interpretation is so open ended for this much cooler piece that it could mean anything. Nothing matters btw. It’s very smart to stop caring about sociopolitical issues and just consume art product.”
For clarity - That period in American art wasn’t 100% a CIA op, but the CIA did contribute to some university art (and literature) programs and some specific individuals and publications to give it more social standing and legitimacy. It’s also one of those “Yeah they admit to it on their website they’re really proud of it” conspiracies.
A lot of what the alphabet orgnaizations do is nudging. It isn’t always high profile assassinations. It’s shit like promoting certain subreddits. The head mod of /r/technology was once outed as a fucking general for example.
Another recent example is all of the “advisory” nudging in capeshit where the US military gets to command how the capeshit plays out.
I feel kinda bad for andy warhol. Like, he was trying to make art and he did, with some interesting messages. If there was just someone to reel him in he would have probably lived longer. It’s not entirely his fault the CIA made his art a weapon. It does also suck how obsessed with fame he was.
Russell Brand, Zizek, Vaush, Orwell, Nathan J Robinson, the list goes eternally of almost-left cringelord creeps
What did Nathan J Robinson do? I remember him having some of the best write-ups debunking Peterson.
if i remember correctly he fired every that worked for him when they tried to unionize and I think had a bunch of other issues. He’s also a total radlib on foreign policy
It wasn’t that they tried to unionize, it was that they wanted to convert Current Affairs to a worker owned co-op. I’ll still maintain that his writing was generally good, and the people he employed were excellent, but he was a rich kid who couldn’t give up control of what he saw as “his” project. It’s not even about money since I’m pretty sure the magazine lost money the entire time it was in print.
Homie spent a lot of money on clothes too
Notice more how they’re western leftists…
Specifically Anglo-Western. It wouldn’t be hard to find German or Swedish libs that would gladly join in too.
Zizek is Slovenian.
It’s so hard to find the Parentis in the rough
I mean, no shit, Sherlock.
If you’re born and bred in a Western liberal country, which benefits from historical colonialism and current trade exploitation (‘unequal exchange’), you will act according to the hegemony’s rules, and benefit from its spoils…

we’ve already had too many threads about this. this is the online left’s version of davos.
Look at it this way: the Hasan highlight dunking on these losers will be great.
