The whole phenomenon of Internet dipshits rubbernecking at Chris-Chan's life is one of the most depressing things in the history of online culture. There are probably kids into this pointless spectacle today who were born after the "saga" (fuck off) started.

    He literally is an employee of bellingcat, which gets its funding from NED (CIA cut-out for funding color revolutions and US-aligned NGOs)

    He’s US state sponsored media. There should be a disclaimer on all his work that it is funded in whole or in part by the CIA.

      Yeah, but these people would tell scary stories about tankies while holding flashlights under their chins for free, unprompted

        The synthetic left was created and is sustained by US funds. There are of course idiots who have no idea what is going on and follow along with the choir, but the conductors are paid

            It’s not meaningless, it speaks to the very real phenomena of US-friendly westoid leftism, filled with chauvinists and imperialists. Just because some cringe fringe weirdos used it doesn’t make it false

                Mate and Norton from Grayzone use it frequently

                All of Breadtube is part of this synthetic left, not just the more egregious examples like Robert Fedvans and Voosh

                    To clarify I’m not saying that the entirety of breadtube is CIA funded (although there are prominent examples). I’m saying that the entirety of the loose ideological cultural grouping who self-identify as “breadtube” and move in those circles are part of the choir. They are almost all imperialists and somewhat anti-communist.

                    Hbomberguy says he doesn’t support the USSR and supports a bombing campaign on DPRK. PhilosophyTube shits on actually existing socialism. Many of them repeat pro-Hong Kong protester narratives, or Uighur genocide narratives, or pro-Ukrainian narratives.

                    Mate is still at Grayzone and doing good work. Blumenthal is the one who “went off the deep end” allegedly, but this is overstated. He just has a different opinion than people here on Covid policies within the west (he never was against Chinese style lockdowns). He’s still more based than every breadtuber
