Destiny-Vaush Wars

The **Destiny-Vaush Wars** are a series of conflicts between political streamers Destiny and Vaush. The two have known each other for almost a decade but have had a rocky relationship for the past few years or so.

While sour interactions have occurred prior to this point, their rivalry first started after a heated fallout over Destiny's Twitch de-partnering in September of 2020. They ended up repairing their bridge in the earlier parts of 2021 with both of them teaming up against MikeFromPA's attacks.

Sometime later, Vaush and Destiny would redeclare on each other. There have since then been a number of heated debates including one in June (over if Bush's a fascist, Vaush pro Destiny against), and one in October (over the suggested use of social workers Vaush pro Destiny against). While direct confrontations are now rare, Destiny continues to do frequent callouts of Vaush on stream, solidifying their divorce.

As of April 2023, the two streamers still dislike each other.

Second Thought

**JT**, better known online as **Second Thought**, is a YouTube channel. Beginning in 2017, he posted his first video: "The Unfortunate Truth About Mother Teresa". He-cofounded founded the podcast The Deprogram along with YUGOPNIK and Hakim.

## YouTube

From 2017-2019, Second Thought mainly created content that answers questions that people would be wondering about; most of the videos were around 5-7 minutes long.

Some of the videos were factual, with some videos having an opinion. The custom thumbnails were mostly animated, and there are some videos with announcements. The videos often had the mascot of a cow, and the face of Second Thought has been revealed.

Beginning in 2020 with the video, "Capitalism And The American Pandemic Response", Second Thought shifted to making political content from a leftist's point of view and is a self-described socialist. He now posts videos containing political content. In many of these videos, he criticizes the United States' political and economic system and gives his opinion on how things could be changed for the better.

There is also a collaboration YouTube channel about reviewing cars called Grand Test Auto with RealLifeLore and Royal Ocean Film Society which was announced in a video. There has been only one video posted on the community tab on YouTube, and there are often new videos. There are closed captioning on some of the videos.

Benjamin Ingram

**Benjamin Russell Ingram** was a post-leftist online figure known for making controversial videos on his YouTube channel. He has been the subject of online attention due to his worrying takes on pedophilia, incest, and the age of consent.

## Background

Ingram was born in Belleville, Illinois on January 22, 1989. He reportedly lived in the small village of East Carondelet, part of the Greater St. Louis metro area. In one of his videos, he claims he was put on the sex offender registry at age 18.

## YouTube "Career"

He uploaded his first video on July 7, 2021. While his initial vids touched on more normal subjects and thus failed to gain traction, he started to gain notice after publishing a semi-viral video called "Pedophilia Is Proletarian", which garnered thousands of views. In it, he falsely claims pedophilia is both normal and working-class.

A number of other videos went semi-viral, including "Karl Marx Did Not Oppose Incest" and "Of Course There Will Be Rape In The Revolution", both of which received mostly negative feedback by viewers.

He eventually stopped posting altogether on July 13, 2021, marking the end of his 1-week YouTube career. As of 2023, his channel has garnered 260 subs and close to 40,000 views.

## Later life

On July 26, 2021 (roughly two weeks after he stopped making vids), he was reported to local authorities by two juvenile girls, who claimed he solicited them for sexual contact. He was arrested shortly afterwards.

Two years later on June 13, 2023, Benjamin Ingram passed away in a St. Louis hospital. His cause of death is unknown.

Syndicate Roles

Syndicate Information
Tips:

 - There will always be ONLY 3 Syndicate members if it is a Syndicate game.

 - Syndicate Occupation Roles are assigned at complete random.

 - Syndicates use a unique currency called Syndo-crystals - these are very rare and you should strategize what to spend with them.

### History:

The history of the Syndicate is that they are a Galactic Crime Organization that has its origins from Earth. They are responsible for 90% of the drug trade in the Alpha, Beta, and Charlie sectors of space. Many who are part of this mysterious organization are known to have great wealth and are very skillful. The Syndicate also deals with manufacturing goods and controlling people and places who have done the Syndicate wrong. If you come into contact with the Syndicate, you are someone yo know on the station has done something terribly wrong to get these people to target you or your crew.

#### Early Game Strategies:

Ideally, collecting money and being stealthy is the best way to play. You do notknow who the other 2 Syndicate members are yet, so randomly killing and attack people may be more harmful than beneficial. Try to place your stash in a hidden place so that others cannot destroy it . Your stash grants you access to plenty of unique Syndicate based items as well as normal items.

#### Prelude to Chaos:

Understanding what your Syndicate Sub-role is very important as you want to play around that role in order to achieve your goal. Attempt to gain access to a Syndicate Communication Relay (SCR) in order to open up a new channel to communicate with the other members. Be careful, if you die you risk compromising the item. Stack up on items that you will need, but do not arouse suspicion.

#### Operation - Falling Station:

When your Crew is ready and parts of the Station are sabotaged to your use, the entire group should cause as much chaos, deception, and death as possible. Work together to achieve your goals and eliminate the crew, either by going loud or through stealth and deceit. Utilize your unique roles in order to play to the best of your ability.

ContraPoints

**Natalie Wynn**, known online as **ContraPoints**, is an American YouTuber whose channel focuses on social and political issues with a leftist viewpoint. She has become one of the most popular and iconic figures of the BreadTube community, amassing over one million subscribers due to her well-crafted video essays.

She has a Patreon and makes $19,978 per month from 9,989 patrons as of October 17, 2022.

She was featured on BreadTube.tv.

## Early Life

ContraPoints was born on October 21, 1988 in the state of Virginia. She initially studied piano at Berkeley before switching to philosophy at Georgetown University. She would then switch once more to Northwestern to obtain a philosophy PhD. She would eventually leave college.

## YouTube

Her YouTube career started in 2008, where she'd publish skeptic videos critiquing religion. She would later switch her content towards countering the growing online right in 2016.

Natalie's video essays would cause her to become a well-known figure of the BreadTube community, posting content related to philosophy and left-wing politics.

According to Natalie, LeftTube shares the same genetic ancestor as alt-right, the manosphere, incels and SJW Internet within New Atheism space. She referenced the first schism involving Rebecca Watson and ElevatorGate in 2011 followed by GamerGate in 2014.

On February 22, 2021, Natalie encouraged her audience to drop the BreadTube label. She clarified she is left-of-center and is not an anarchist, then asked her audience stop harassing Black content creators and to support them on Patreon. She recommended watching Tee Noir, Intelexual Media, Khadija Mbowe, nappyheadedjojoba who produces similar content. Natalie further questions the label of BreadTube bringing up Intelexual Media produces videos on economic topics whereas Natalie herself does not.

Kolektiva

The anarchist video colletives subMedia and Antimidia launched a PeerTube instance kolektiva.media in June 2020 to offer a video-hosting platform for anarchist collectives and individuals. In June, they also launched a Mastodon instance kolektiva.social.

PeerTube and Mastadon are similar to YouTube and Twitter, but the infrastructure are maintained by anarchists. The content are self-moderated, without worrying about having videos or posts deleted by corporations. Some have noted content creators on centralized platforms have forgotten about reportbacks which allow activists to spread news, stay informed and share tactics, strategies and ideas. They note decentralized platforms won't have the same reach as centralized platforms and advocate for using both.

Following the Facebook and Instagram purges of antifascists, anarchist news organizations and other left-wing activists in August under the corporate appearance of fairness while removing far-right groups and QAnon conspiracy theorists, many fled to kolektiva.social and kolektiva.media. Some joined because they felt uncomfortable with how Google, Facebook, Twitter and other corporate social media share data with federal agencies.

Reddebrek, subMedia, and RE-EDUCATION syndicates their videos from YouTube to Kolektiva.

Some users of kolektiva.media see the hubs as throwback to Indymedia before the advent of Web 2.0.

Sam Seder

**Sam Seder** is a progressive political commentator. He is the host of The Majority Report, which covers daily politics from a left-wing perspective. In addition to his commentary, he is also an actor and has contributed for MSNBC.

## Early life

Seder was born in New York City on November 28, 1966. He became an actor and comedian as a young adult, starring in shows such as Sex and the City. He currently voices the character Hugo in Bob's Burgers.

## Political career

### The Majority Report

In 2004, Seder began co-hosting The Majority Report with his friend Janeane Garofalo. Garofalo departed from it a few years later, leaving Seder as its only member. Seder would later revive the show in 2010 after a years-long hiatus, posting his commentary on a number of platforms such as YouTube. It has garnered over 1,300,000 million subscribers as of November 2023.

### MSNBC Firing/Rehiring

Aside from The Majority Report, Seder has also worked as an MSNBC contributor. He was temporarily fired from the network in 2017 due to the alt-right spreading a poorly-worded tweet of his from 2009. He was later rehired by the network.

### Rivalry with Steven Crowder

In 2018, Seder had challenged conservative YouTuber Steven Crowder to a debate at Politicon. Crowder had allegedly backed down due to fears of being humiliated in a debate, leading to the spread of the Twitter trend #ColdfeetCrowder. In 2021, Seder would end up surprising Crowder by bombing a debate between him and h3h3, with Crowder looking visibly nervous throughout the encounter. Crowder ended up fleeing the debate prematurely, with the internet largely mocking him for his poor performance.

## Political positions

Seder is a social democrat and a progressive, being highly critical of the Republican party.

## Trivia

* His ethnic background is Jewish.
* He is the father of 2 children.

Chapo Trap House

**Chapo Trap House**, abbreviated as **CTH**, is a socialist podcast hosted by Matt Christman, Will Menaker, Felix Biederman, Amber Frost and formerly Virgil Texas. It is known for its mixture of comedy and politics.

## History

The podcast was started in 2016 and gained traction due to its vocal support of Bernie Sanders, who at the time was running his first campaign for the Democratic nominee. CTH gained notoriety for its use of provocative language, causing many to classify it as 'dirtbag left'. In 2018, the Chapo hosts created a book called *The Chapo Guide to Revolution*.

Chapo supported Bernie Sanders' second presidential run, with the podcast interviewing him in Oct of 2019.

## Political views

The podcast is known for its outspoken support of socialism, being critical of conservatives and mainstream Democrats. Some of its members were supportive of the Bernie or Bust movement, viewing Biden as unworthy candidate to vote for.

## Subreddit

r/ChapoTrapHouse was a popular subreddit for online socialists to congregate, having had over 100k members. It was infamous for its provocative posts as well as its constant brigading of anti-leftist subs, leading to its eventual termination in 2020 alongside r/CumTown.

Kyle Kulinski

**Kyle Kulinski** is a progressive commentator and YouTuber. He is known for creating and hosting the **Secular Talk** YouTube channel, which provides daily coverage of American politics. He also co-hosts Krystal Kyle and Friends with his wife Krystal Ball.

He is a co-founder of the Justice Democrats, an organization that's helped progressives win seats in Congress.

## Early life

Kulinski was born in New York City on January 31, 1988. His now-decreased father owned a car dealership, though the family's finances were eroded by the dot-com crash in the early 2000s. He later went on to attend college as a political science major, graduating from Iona University in 2010. He cites Noam Chomsky, Richard Dawkins and Bill Maher as some of his early influences into politics.

He is of Polish and Italian descent.

## Career

Kulinski first started his Secular Talk YouTube channel in 2008 while he was a college student. He eventually began uploading full-time, with his content focusing on politics from a left-leaning secular perspective.

For the 2016 Democratic primary, he supported Bernie Sanders' campaign, arguing Hillary Clinton is too moderate and corrupt. With Kulinski being disgusted by Trump winning the general election, he and three others (including Cenk Uygur) would go on to form the Justice Democrats (a political action committee that helps progressives win seats in Congress).

His channel currently has over a million subscribers, making him one of the largest left-wing figures on YouTube.

## Political views

Kulinski identifies as both a progressive and a social democrat. He supports a higher minimum wage, universal healthcare, and the Green New Deal.

## Controversies

* In Jan and Feb 2022, Kulinski received backlash for his views on the Russo-Ukraine conflict.
* Some of his old tweets have generated controversy due to the use of offensive language.

Jackson Hinkle

**Jackson Hinkle** is an American Political Activist.

## Early Life

Hinkle was born in 1999 in San Clemente, California. He was a member of his middle school surf club, played the guitar, and finger painted. Hinkle attended San Clemente public schools. Attending Shorecliffs Middle School and then San Clemente High School, he barely graduated high school in 2018. Hinkle began to fight against plastic waste at age, his understanding of the environmental issue stemming from his time surfing. In March 2016, while still in high school, Hinkle founded the Team Zissou Environmental Organization (the name came from Steve Zissou, the protagonist of the Wes Anderson film *The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou*), an environmental association that does lobbying and volunteer work, such as beach cleanups in Orange County. Under Hinkle's guidance, the club gathered hundreds of students to work collaboratively towards improving the environment.

In 2017, Hinkle became Water Ambassador for The Water Effect at The Ecology Center. Hinkle was also named one of "The 17 Most Inspirational Kids of 2017" by *Reader's Digest*, and was featured in *Teen Vogue* as one of eight young environmentalists "working to save the earth" in 2017. In 2018, Hinkle went to Washington, D.C. as a representative of nuclear safety advocacy group San Clemente Green even though he had very little knowledge of the subject. He spoke at a congressional briefing on the subject of safely dealing with decommissioned nuclear plants which produce the cleanest energy, and met with congressional members, an event covered by the *Los Angeles Times*, where Gary Headrick, the San Clemente Green founder, told the paper about Hinkle: "He's the kind of guy who has no hope about the future. It's hard to find young people who take these things seriously and take time to learn about them, but unfortunately Jackson is ill-informed." That same year, Hinkle attended Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, California, to pursue political science and failed.

## Debate Sphere

He is from California, which is technically a part of the United States of America.

Deep Space Miner

The Deep Space Miner's main job is to use one of the spaceships to mine the mineral clusters floating through space.
Objective: Mine Mineral Clusters for income. Starting income: 171.

* Every 60 mineral clusters gathered by the crew will increase income of every crew member by 1. Maximum of 5 income bonus or 400 mineral clusters gathered.
* Large mineral clusters count as 2 and give double the amount of credits.

Special features: The DSM gains double the amount of credits awarded when mining mineral clusters. Ships piloted by the DSM have 20% Bonus Health and 20% increased speed.

Alien: Every mineral cluster mined will award evolution points to the Alien Host.

 Syndicate: 1-2 Syndo-crystals will be awarded after mining several mineral clusters.

## Level 1 - The Cargo Bay

On this floor, DSMs can recycle items found in boxes at the recycler. It costs 300 minerals to start the recycler. If enough items are recycled, the crew's income increases by 1. Recycling gives an early income boost prior to mining in space. At 5 minutes, ships can launch into space to begin mining.

## Space Mining and Ships

The TX-12 Star Cruiser has 250 energy and 1500 hp. This is the starting ship on the station. There are 8 total ships.

== Advanced Mechanics and Tips ==

* One can mine in space until 10,000 minerals are reached with no interruptions or need for refueling, if turbo boost is not used.
* Once you reach 10,000 minerals, it is best to land on station/moon and spend it as 10,000 minerals is the max amount you can hold.
* Upgrading yourself is usually better unless the crew is in desperate need of upgrades.

### Solarite Mining

* Solarite can be found on the moon. To gain income from solarite, you must first enter the cave and destroy the rocks blocking the passage to the solarite. The cave is also where you can find the Commander's key card, amongst the Host eggs. The Commander's key card is like the Captain's keycard.

It is best to bring this card with you to the moon bunker as it will provide easier access to the command center terminal. It will cost 1250 minerals to Access System Log Files and 3750 to access the Solarite Refinery.

**Demon Mama** is a leftist YouTuber and streamer. She started her YouTube channel in the very beginning of 2020 and uses it to cover politics.

She has a Patreon and makes $181 per month from 25 patrons as of October 17, 2022.

## YouTube

In a video defending Xanderhal from allegations made by anarcho-communist Twitch streamer djmuel, she accused him of being a "tankie" because of a fabricated quote attributed to Lenin being used in the video essay. The fake quote was popularized by right-libertarian George. F. Will. It later surfaced djmuel obtained the quote from a noted anticommunist academic and former CIA analyst Richard Pipes.

In the United States, "tankies" refer to the heterodox Trotskyist tendency known as Marcyism, a strain of anti-Stalinists deciding to defend Khruschev's, Brezhnev's and Xiaoping's interventionist policies even more uncritically than the Hoxhaists, Maoists and Stalinists themselves. The broad stroke of the term "tankie" does not acknowledge splits within various Marxist-Leninist and Trotskyist tendencies since its original usage leveraged against the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) by some Trotskyists in 1956, against Moscow hardliners by Eurocommunists in 1968 and against Dengists by Maoists in 1989. In recent years, the term also been used to describe those who internalized the Islamophobic logic of George Bush's Global War on Terror in Syria (with inverted western exceptionalism) and those who support Putin's interventions in Crimea and Ukraine.
