He hates the western left, but is also a part of it (I mean, you can’t escape it living in a western country). Literally everyone on here would say they hate the western left…

I mean, I would argue he is. He’s obviously not perfect but he does a decent job at improving class conciousness in the west (mainly America)

Please understand, this was both not real (a doctored tweet) and also a joke.

Alright I’m an occasional viewer of his YT vids . Y’all are wildly misrepresting this guy. I’m not going to sit here and pretend he’s some principled ML - he’s not, but he’s certainly not a sexpest socdem either. I agree his takes on China are fairly uneducated and poor, but literally everything else that’s been said in these comments (and the op) is also fairly uneducated and poor. Maybe as Marxists we should do some investigating and try to understand someone before going buck wild on the timeline.

Really cool video, thanks!

I had a similar conversation with my MiL resulting in the same outcome. As an Australian myself I’ve found having these types of discussions solely productive with my liberal peers. Your time and effort will/can go a lot further with those who view you as an equal. Obviously you would have to deal with the additional racial dimension regarding that…

We are just America lite down here and it’s sad. Being so geographically distant from the western world I hope we can detach from the hegemon one day and properly link with our Asia-Pacific siblings. Free David McBride.

It’s funny because interest in the show is partially caused by 80s nostalgia, including red scare propaganda. It’s certainly an ideologically western liberal show though (which I will not apologise for enjoying)

I’ve never heard of blowback. Is it worth a listen?
