    It’s some kind of project by that guy Caleb Maupin and my guess is it’s just a method to get more public speaking jobs rather than a serious political project

    Caleb has been publicly advocating for socialist and anti-imperialist causes for over a decade. Please look him up instead of so flippantly dismissing his work and insinuating that he's a sellout. Public speaking jobs? If he was looking to get paid he'd find it much more lucrative talking about something else.

    Edit: Never mind, this guy is horrible.

      Ok lemme look him up. "American patriot" in twitter bio. And lemme read a little bit more... Wow, ok this guy is a complete crank, moreso than I originally believed. Thank you for suggesting I research him and I hope I never hear his name again. Goodbye

      Didn't he write a book that was pretty much "the JEWS" with all the references of "the JEWS" find/replaced with something less obviously bad?

        Yeah, "Satan at the Fountainhead", amongst other things it pins the blame of Ayn Rand's views squarely on her Jewish heritage.

          Thanks for sharing, I hadn't heard of this before.

          You follow some of these people for a while and appreciate what they have to say about socialism and anti-imperialism, then later find out that they advocate for some contemptible ideas. It's difficult to reconcile the two... ignorance is bliss.

            No problem comrade, if it helps I also used to like some of Caleb Maupin's anti-imperialist takes, what turned me off him was a video he did platforming a TERF and claiming it was okay because they were both against "transgender ideology" and not individual transpeople. I didn't find out about the antisemitism until later.
