i like that BE is such a colossal prick online to deter parasocial relationships
Are we even sure that's why and not just he's sort of a prick in general?
He flip flops between mega-tankie and vaguely ancom(?) so both sides hate him.
Playing both sides so that everyone is mad at him, the anti :both-sides:
It's not just China stuff. I posted his semi-recent video where he talks about Donbas and Taiwan, and my main problem with it after watching was that he ignored a lot of context wrt Donbas in order to come to essentially exactly the same conclusion as the US State Dept. It's like, you're supposed to be a socialist so give me some class analysis man come on.
But overall I actually like BE. I guess I just see him as being within the threshold of someone who I disagree with on a lot of things but is still a comrade.
Bruh his lockdown video was fucking reddit teir nonsense. "Criticism" indistinguishable from a :funny-clown-hammer: take pissing someone off isn't being a chinese nationalist wtf?
Yeah, he's anti-zero COVID, somehow. I don't know what he'd even think is a superior system since his criticism was so shallow and Reddit-tier. Has he actually commented on COVID at all otherwise?
I don't know, some people really hate him for being a jerk online, but never encountered him myself.
Video content seems pretty ok
But he's had some insanely dumb takes on twitter
Like claiming "90% of Hindus are Fascists"
Thats over a billion people bud
Also as pointed below shit takes on china too
