My boy is out here educating and agitating every dang day in real time. He isn't perfect and will continue to not be. Any criticism of him ought to start from a position of him being a massively popular approachable signpost for socialism and a pipeline to leftist thought IMO. I am now going to log off for many hours and won't see any replies to this in real time
He was basically the only streamer against Zionism and for Palestinians I had seen for the longest time and for that he has my respect.
Yes! I didn't even think about that. How many public figures had the right take on October 8th, 2023?
I can honestly only think of maybe two, Hasan and that celebrity that got kicked off the Scream movies lol.
Melissa Barrera, I had to look her up but I heard about that. Good for her.
Ya, while it's not a bad thing that a ton of other celebrities have jumped on the bandwagon since then, it's what we want after all, but you have to admit she's way more brave for being one for the first to speak out before it was popular.
I don't get any of the hate honestly. He's pretty consistent about "critical support" for any existing politicians and is good at bringing people in from those folds and introducing them to more radical ideas.
He's got better positions on most things than CPUSA and DSA, that's for sure.
Watching him navigate those boomer MAGA chuds recently was a good testament to his communication skills. He straight up broke that old man's brain with the giant foam MAGA cowboy hat.
