I haven’t watched their videos in ages, the format isn’t my favourite. But I still follow them on Twitter and that’s when I saw this! I’ll mark as NSFW because of the grooming comment.

Medhurst seems commited to actual analysis like whistleblowers, middle east, and the ukraine conflict. If he talked with 17yo women when he was 20yo is irrelevant to me tbh
Edit: he was 25, it is kinda complicated and he behaved poorly because of what seems like mental health issues.

We are going to see more disparaging accusations and mudslinging leveled at anyone who dares challenge the war propaganda as the imperial decline progresses and the desperation sets in. They will try to discredit anti-imperialists with whatever spurious claims they can cook up. They will try to divide the anti-war left and have us turn against each other, taking out first and foremost those who are the most effective at advocating for the anti-imperialist position, those who pose the biggest danger to the mainstream propaganda narrative’s mission of getting the people on board for a world war with China and/or Russia.
And yes they will use ostensibly “leftist” even “Marxist” groups or individuals to do this. Cointelpro has never stopped operating, and now it is ramping up again.
I agree that COINTELPRO is definitely still operating and that we should be reluctant to believe any outrageous claims against Marxists, but I think unfortunately in this case Medhurst really is a pedophile. The background pictures of his room line up with photos from the texts he sent.
Richard did fuck up there tho. texting a 17yo some suggestive language is not really good, and getting angry at a 15yo for not wanting to listen to you complaining on your mental health issues is bad.
From what I remember yes it was.

A girl was 17, and he was 25, so a bit more fishy since he was apparently using suggestive language, but it seemed an exageration to me at the time.
The thing is he was also mentally ill af at the time and talking with a 15yo he considered a friend for moral support (bad idea??), then getting angry that the 15yo didnt support him and had her own problems.
Some people mixed up the 17yo girl with the 15yo one, and use “abussive messages” to muddy the waters.
One of the allegations was like he was in his 20’s going after like a 14 year old
The issue is that they were in a mental health mutual support group and he wasnt going after a 15yo but spam calling to to have her morally support him because he was mentally ill/depressed.
Just not a good idea to rely on teenagers for moral support, get angry when they have their own problems. Then they use 60 dollar donation he gave as a “forgive my behaviour” as some suspect shit
Oh, if that is true then I retract my statement.
That’s still suspicious as hell but I understand.
Its definitely not the correct course of action and his actions were kinda wrong, but some leftist twitter users are a bit dramatic and always searching for ideological impureness
