Why does BadEmpanada always have to fuck up and act like a liberal? Like hes recently stated that “tankie is just a buzzword used by liberals” and also made a based video debunking the Holodomor and exposing the double genocide theory, but then he still makes trash like this. “Grover Furr is basically a stalinist holocaust denier” “Hes not taken seriously by anyone [meaning liberal academia]” “Only 14 year old Twitter stalinists read him”. “Hes not a serious historian” No analysis of his books, no evidence, no arguments, just the good ol “if liberal academia doesnt approve what you say then its wrong” spiced up with some double genocide bs (“stalinist denial=holocaust denial”). Like literally, Furr cites the same “respectable historians” BE cited in his Holodomor video and arrives pretty much at the same conclusion about the Holodomor, that it wasnt a genocide nor man made (as in intentionally made). And yet, somehow, Grover Furr is a “stalinist holocaust denier”. How can you be this stupid? I dont understand, please help.
Always found it to be dubious because it assumes communists are a monolith instead of a broad discourse that involves people with varying experiences and levels of education and even differing class character. Sometimes people are wrong or otherwise liberal or essentialist but yet not cops.
When they have substantial reach like Youtubers do and their material is conflicting in an odd way like this, my glowie senses start tingling. But yeah maybe I’m reading too much into it.
I dont mean you specifically. Its just a trend that is worth mentioning. I absolutely agree with you that occasionally (perhaps somewhat frequently actually) the cop senses are tingling when I hear what these tubers and influencers are up to.
