Mostly talking about stuff like breadtubers, chapo, and media personalities like that, I can kind of tell why people like Bernie and Jezza where they're at. Is it the added wealth being a popular media personality gives you, the need to give a consistent product, the need to appeal to a wide breadth of people, and so on?

edit: also props to Brett at RevLeft for continuing to radicalise himself as the show has gone on

    I found the attacks on them horribly misguided. Like, trigger-happy witch hunt misguided. They were discussing difficult issues, bringing up valid points, but their critics ascribed the worst motives to them for no reason.

    These types of attacks on fellow leftist who are putting forward good-faith opinions absolutely have to stop if we want to get anything done. Dunk on chuds like this all you want, but treat comrades with a bit more honesty.

    Your recollection and analysis of that episode is spot on, too.
