"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

I do not read newspapers, and I do not remember experiencing that phenomenon. Also not surprising that streamers do not know much (are you criticizing Hakim and the others?).
Be skeptical of the level of knowledge and level of care for reporting accuracy of streamers like Hakim and the others in this clip.
Numerous others in the thread who have a higher level of relevant experience and expertise than Hakim on this particular subject have disagreed with his analysis.
When someone makes little effort to formulate their statement yet speaks with conviction, they are often going to be called out for that bad opinion. You should also then assume the same lack of understanding in every subject they talk about in which they are not a subject matter expert. This is a core aspect of media literacy: skepticism.
Hakim is a physician. I would trust his input on the German healthcare system or general medical knowledge. If he is so willing to speak without doing appropriate research on this particular matter, it is likely that he gives the same lack of care to other matters outside his purview.
Got it.
