I don’t really know anything about him, I don’t watch twitch streamers or keep up with their drama. I only thought about looking into him after the cracker thing and I can’t tell if he’s a genuine leftist or not. (Also sorry if this is the wrong comm for this question)
He has alright takes, some that seem pretty good. His opinion on China is improving.
Is this the one you were referring to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIgFnfHhcRc ?
Yes lmao. I found it pretty interesting, even though I don’t usually vibe w zizek on his own
I’ve taken to watching him while practicing random licks on the drums and I don’t really see much wrong with him. I find him kinda funny and he’s not a complete chud, and he’s not a complete moron wrecked like Vaush from what I can tell.
I don’t think people realize that even a vague socdem who isn’t deliberately anti communist like Vaush can have a huge effect removing brainworms. I got over my American brainwashing from being friends online with people from socdem countries, so even just that can open the third eye for some people. Living in the USA will pretty quickly turn you further left if you have a functioning…perceptive apparatus so…
It’s also important that The Kids should be watching someone like Hasan vs like, anything else. PragerU and Ben Shapiro are literal brainrot, and that’s the surface level shit. It gets so much worse. They could be tuning into the Nick Fuentes livestream or The Daily Shoah or weird Ecofascist podcast #28384738 (you guys should listen to I Don’t Speak German, there is some absolutely vile right wing content out there and it isn’t that hard to get to…). Obviously I’d rather people watch shit like Yugopnik or NonCompete but that’s a little much for most people, and I’d prefer they go even vaguely left vs turning into a literal Nazi, which even PragerU or fucking Fox News will do at this point. My younger brother loaded up on ideology from Crowder and PragerU and now is a miserable, bitter person and not in the realistic leftist way but like the unhinged right wing way where trans people are going to turn the frogs gay
I’m a fan. His show is entertaining and accessible. I think trying to squint and determine if a YouTube personality is an “actual leftist” or not is kind of pointless.
He makes good left wing content. It’s nice to listen to in the background if you have a desk job. Enjoy it for what it is!
