Yeah this is absolutely embarrassing and sad. I feel petty bad for Nathan here. Tbh I used to listen to the podcast and it was good. I found it actually kinda surprising that Nathan did union busting but I didn't know him so I was just like "damn that sucks". But now this really sucks, because I thought he was a funny little guy and read him as legitimately caring about the left (even if I disagree with him on quite a few things).

stop feeling bad for kautskyites and grow up. politics isn't about the feelings of political figures.

Oh fuck off. No need to be aggressive with me or talk to me like I'm a child. I can have empathetic feelings towards people who are getting death threats because they were lied about. It has nothing to do with my understanding of what politics are

No. Grow up and stop getting parasocial attachments to leftoids that lead you into doing mental gymnastics to excuse social imperialists. I will talk however I want.

Divert your empathy towards the actual oppressed and workers of the world and not rich dandy parasocial mini-celebs who don’t give a shit about them and encourage imperialism against the actual suffering people.

Fascists and libs and Chuds all get death threats too. Doesn’t vindicate any of them or make any of their political positions more correct
