Some people don’t believe me when I try to warn them about the content creator grift. I don’t care, I’m coming for all of them if they start spouting shit like this to their audience. They have a responsibility towards their viewers.
Second time I see him tweet shit like this.
At this point he should just stop pretending he’s any sort of leftist. His mental health will thank him.

He’s not gonna live in poverty because of his failing business. Dude was well off enough to start it in the first place, he’s still making money from the podcast and has that means.tv thing going on. Worst comes to worst, he’ll have to downsize, stop wasting money on expensive offices and stock footage, and maybe get a part time job or freelance work with his frankly exceptional video skills, not go to sleep hungry. Second Thought isn’t a person, it’s an organisation, a company with actual employees. I don’t wish him I’ll personally, but I can only see a positive outcome from his “activism” if his dream to be “Vox for leftists” fails and there’s a clear double standard in how these folks are treated as either leading voices for Anglo leftism or just some dudes based on convenience.
He’s making at least 10K a month from the ST patreon alone, plus sponsorships. Until he’s actually putting himself at risk for socialism like my actual comrades, my sympathy for his “plight” will be pretty limited. I’ve had acquaintances murdered and family members denied employment due to politics, a suburban US YouTuber making a sad face due to being unable to pay his writers ain’t gonna pull on my heartstrings. He’ll be fine.
