@PascalL04591468@caitoz@ContraPoints But anyways I think I've had enough of this conversation honestly, if you want argue semantics feel free to continue I cannot keep repeating myself so many times is exhausting lol.
@PascalL04591468@caitoz@ContraPoints That's not the argument I made. My point was never that Johnstone intended to justify harassment, only that 1-) this reads as a purity test and 2-) doesn't justify harassment or false allegations. If you disagree with those claims, address them directly.
@PascalL04591468@caitoz@ContraPoints I never said Johnstone justified harassment. And you didn’t call purity testing vague you called it necessary for every group.
Anyway this isn’t going anywhere. Here’s my first reply again for reference. Have a nice weekend.

@caitoz@ContraPoints This response just reads as… welp you failed a purity test, you are not as vocal as we the so called people of conscience are! Which doesn’t justify neither the harassment or the allegations against her, in her own words.
@PascalL04591468@caitoz@ContraPoints I’m not sidestepping anything if you go back to my original point which is nothing of this justifies the harassment or false allegations against contra, that’s the topic at hand is not Johnstone vs contra.
@PascalL04591468@caitoz@ContraPoints I read her reply, she reiterated her original point to which my response would also be my original point, if want to critique contra for not being as vocal as you would have wished you can do that, to call her a zionist or genocide supporter is where I dont get.
@PascalL04591468@caitoz@ContraPoints Ehh I do think Terfs can be on the left in this reality there are left wing ideologies that are not inclusive to all people like “Chavismo” for example, so I guess we are just talking about two completely different things.
@PascalL04591468@caitoz@ContraPoints TERFs are not part of the trans movement they are detractors, purity testing for them would be supporting trans identity and viceversa, this is not the case here unless idk Contra has expressed support for the genocide and I somehow missed it.
@OrdinaryGoose@caitoz@ContraPoints You are free to criticize or comment whatever you want, if you choose to do it on things not based in reality then go ahead definitely an interesting use of your free will.
@Kentucky_Party_@caitoz@ContraPoints Awesome I don’t really know about you guys, but I hope your candidates win we need decent people with power in office, I still don’t see how harassment towards a youtuber get us closer to any political goal though.
@Kentucky_Party_@caitoz@ContraPoints So what do you at the Kentucky party do to address the moral crisis of this era? Harrass a youtube/streamer with no actual political power? Using a GENOCIDE for petty drama like this makes me question the seriousness of which you all really take this topic.
@Oper_Mind_Crime@caitoz@ContraPoints (2/2) but that sentiment should be expressed in maybe not engaging with her content anymore or supporting other people who align with you, this multi-year hate campaign is just dumb and it cheapens your credibility when you say you are doing it for the people of gaza.
@Oper_Mind_Crime@caitoz@ContraPoints I’m not a fan of a “jewish ethnostate” or any ethnostate of any kind whatsoever, but this moral crusade against a person who is not even in support of the genocide is pure nonsense, if you disagree or were disappointed by her take is fine and healthy even.
@caitoz@ContraPoints This response just reads as… welp you failed a purity test, you are not as vocal as we the so called people of conscience are! Which doesn’t justify neither the harassment or the allegations against her, in her own words.
@Hudie1086652@Julesnader386 “Your support for Palestine is not a raging fire” is a critique at least somewhat based in reality. “You’re a genocidal Zionist” is not.
@will_evans_qld@schneidalwave@ContraPoints Is flooding the timeline of the dead children and other forms of gore videos of palestinians the reach of your advocacy? Because thats what she critiqued. And you may disagree with her there, but extrapolating that into saying she supports genocide is nonesense.
@ContraPoints Then in the mix of that some of things you described in your cancelling video started to happen, naunced statements abstracted and reduced into the most bombastic and outrageous moral “truth” (e.g so and so is racist, zionist, truscum or whatever)
@ContraPoints Suddenly the bar is you should be posting more, re-sharing more, doing content about it, you not doing that (their activism) read as an endorsement aswell somehow
