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.
archive link so he can’t scrub it off the internet: https://archive.ph/XWZD6 (still loading as of posting but should be ready eventually)
This is what substituting a party for a podcast does to a mf. I’m so glad that Second Thought is in the red.
ST does make good content tho idk what you got against them
ST =/= Yugo and deserves to be evaluated on their own merit
He makes cute 20min videos. They’re also massively expensive, take very long to make and not even that in-depth. Their call to action usually ends up being “donate”. I don’t hate him, but he’s just another careerist left influencer and maybe going bankrupt will mean he’ll re-evaluate his tactics.
Nah, sorry, this is just repulsive. I can only assume you’ve never experienced real poverty before because otherwise I can’t imagine how you could say something this vile.
I spent most of my childhood going to bed hungry and cold. Sometimes I still do as a self-providing adult. I don’t wish this on anyone else; certainly not my comrades regardless of whatever faults they have. I’m happy JT was able to get a better life for himself and his family. I might not like how he did it, but that’s a systemic issue - not a personal failing on his part. Most of us are trying to get ahead in life and there are only so many ways to do so without actually selling your soul and being as evil as possible. JT got lucky and I envy him for that. I wish as many of my comrades as possible obtain similar stability - myself included. God knows I can’t sit around and wait for the revolution to save me and you’ll forgive me if I don’t find life as an ascetic appealing just because I’m a Marxist.

To be fair there isn’t a lot he can do about educating USians beyond posting in English on the internet (and I mean posting on the internet isn’t doing a lot)
The problem is precisely that he spends too much time talking to American audience. There is a broader international audience out there than just America. Maybe talk about how people in Europe can organize. You have two out of three people on the podcast who are not from the US. Yet i hear little to nothing about the politics of their countries. The US centrism of the podcast is off the charts.
Who do you think donate the most to podcasts?
What really hit the nail on the head is that the most likely reason why he’s not active in Serbia is that he has a cushy job at a big company and wouldn’t want to risk losing everything by being recognised as an open leftist activist
As always: look at where someone’s material interests lie. It’s the same with Hasan Piker. I still don’t understand why so many leftists continue to defend him when it is clear that his material interests now align with the substantially wealthy group of self-employed petite bourgeois that he surrounds himself with. That explains why he is so focused on Democratic party activism.
I think people like that he’s undoing anti-China propaganda, because it’s such a controversial topic you feel like somebody who does that has to be a comrade through and through, which isn’t true unfortunately
Is he? He keeps insisting that China did a “cultural genocide” on the Uyghurs, and he constantly talks about how China is too repressive of free speech.
Oh really ? I thought it was the opposite. Since I don’t actually watch him I based it off something someone said to me, and since he went to China and was interviewed by Li Jingjing I assumed it was true
