I used to watch this dude for entertainment because he screams populist, pro China rhetoric at internet liberals like a howler monkey on Discord and ignored all of the "muh antifuh bad" brainworms. However recently its become pretty clear that he's total rightoid reactionary trash, no better than Shitgone of Akkad.

Solidarity with Netflix

What a fucking loser.

    Infrared unironically believes america as a concept is good, and that it was corrupted by MI6 agents who are behind everything. I’m mad because he made me agree and side with Jason Unruhe

      Jason Unruhe

      Literally didn't know who that was until I read rationalwiki's take on him: He's basically the Stefan Molyneux of leftists, except less popular.

      Also

      I mean the founding concept of America is good, but unless the queen invented a time machine to send MI6 spooks in wigs to larp as the founding fathers to bungle it up, I'd say this dweeb is full of shit.

        The founding concept of America is definitely a historical improvement over the British colonies that were there. I'm not sure "good" is the word I'd use though, because that implies a nobility in the founders which really isn't the case.

          Is it certain that America created something better than the colonies?

            I'd say so. In terms of historical progression, the American republic was an improvement over the British colonial system in a similar way that liberalism as a whole was an improvement over what came before. Again, not saying it was good, just that it represented historical progress.

        Yeah Unruhe is the guy who calls himself a “Maoist rebel” as if he isn’t a white middle class Canadian dude. His spotlight is long gone, he’s pretty irrelevant now, and for the best as his ideas lack imagination.

        I wouldn’t argue that the founding concept of America is good. America was built on the backs of black slaves and on the bones of indigenous people.
