Seriously, how does he not know about the mass protest that broke out all over the United States? About the capturing of Nicolas Maduro was all over YouTube and social media. Sure, it was the stupid same rhetoric of, “I dont support Nicolas Maduro, but what the United States did was abhorrent”, which, granted, isn’t amazing, but that doesn’t change the fact that there’s still a large number of United States civilians that are incredibly upset with the United States actions in Venezuela.

It’s like when he was banging on about not joining corporate unions in the United States because of their imperialized interests, which is a fair criticism of a lot of unions in the United States, but the reason you go to these unions is to learn how to organize. You can make your mistakes in the union, learn to organize, meet like-minded people, and then split off to create your own group when you’re ready. At least this is my current understanding of how praxis should be applied in the United States.

    Mans a psyop to make all leftist look like socially inept unlikeable turds. The first step to gaining support is to be likeable which has shown itself to be a winning formula time and time again

      So awhile back I did a bit of digging to find out more about this guy and didn’t find any evidence of him being a psyop. A lot of what I found instead were old forum posts on history forum sites or subreddits where he’s getting into extremely petty arguments with people. My takeaway was that he really is just kind of an asshole. He’s an unlikable jerk who gets off on starting fights with people online and proving how right he is. That’s just his personality.

    No. Doing things is performative and bad, unless that thing is forming a revolutionary army that just spontaneously gathers like a flash mob.

    The personification of “what no theory does to a mfer”.

    Don’t forget that he’s stated that he is not a communist, just someone who hates the USA. Which I can respect to a point, but that does mean that his unhinged rants have no material analysis. It’s literally just vibes based bullshit. Sometimes he’s right, more often than not he’s wrong.

    Which is why he’s also been recently saying he hopes the USA invades Greenland because it will mean Europeans and Americans will kill each other. Except that the population of Greenland is nearly 90% Inuit.

    See that’s the thing, Bad Empanada guy doesn’t do praxis, does he? How would he know what that is? He can prove me wrong any time he wants, if he stops being a petty ahole and actually goes and does something for Argentinians who are living in a neolib hellhole, while this guy is collecting ad revenue from playing the most super radically left youtuber.
