        Knowing that it’s funded by Billy Gates, and knowing that the channel just dropped in multiple languages honestly smells super federal

        Actualy Kurzgesagt replied in the comments and they only opted to address the point about the funding lmao.

    Since Kurzgesagt received funding from the Gates Foundation, here’s your bi-weekly reminder that the wonderful Mr. Gates stopped a COVID-19 vaccine from becoming public domain, likely causing a ridiculous number of otherwise preventable deaths (source)

    Annoying how Kurzgesagt went from cool to extremely cringe. It started with their pseudo profound bullshit “The Egg” and went downhill until this abomination of green capitalism, swimming in science denial waters

    I really hope Badempanada takes a Second Thought style full on socialist turn, he is so close to being based af, but he keeps on trying to act like both sides of the political spectrum are bad. That and his terrible takes on China and the Uyghurs.

      I know he’s made a 1hr+ video on the subject but have never watched it. Can anyone provide a quick summary on his views regarding the Uyghurs? From the few videos I have seen it seems like he’s already a full on socialist.

        He thinks that China is lying about the conditions in Xinjiang and pulls up bullshit sources like “defectors” that support the western Genocide narrative. He has this holier than thou attitude throughout to make it seem like there is some sort of enlightened middle ground between China’s claims and the wests.

        Overall he’s got pretty shit views on China and has previously made it clear that he thinks “Tankies” are equally as naive as the libs.

        But in his defense his content regarding south America and the US intervention in the region is much better researched and factual, and so are most of his videos debunking libs and reactionaries.
