I've been watching a lot of philosophy tube, and some others, lately. And for the most part I really like them. However I've seen a bit of hate for them here. Am I missing something? Is criticism more directed at their the chunk of their fans who only pay lip service to the ideas they present or is actually a problem with the creators. Edit: Or maybe I miss read everything and this community doesn't have a problem with them at all. Edit 2: Thanks for the responses and other places to look. Like I said I've mostly been watching philosophy tube (who maybe subtly calls for violent uprising but he still does) and just dipping my toes into the others, looks like I'll skip most of the other channels. As far as being radicalized I'm there already, I just really like the presentation of what I've watched so far. And its given me something to send to my brother who has been mildly interested but is pretty damn far from radical.
And let me add one more thing: there needs to be a lot more actual leftist thought and analysis on youtube. Pipelines are real and I'd love to see more of them that carry people all the way, rather than part of the way, then dumping them off well short of revolutionary politics. A big part of the problem with breadtube is that because it doesn't go far enough left, it leaves a lot of people with the impression that that is as far as it goes, you know?
There will always be a spectrum, so lets make sure it extends as far left as is possible on any given platform.
The Chomsky to Parenti pipeline is real
I wish I had fallen down that pipeline 10 years ago.
We need to get Parenti in there somehow. I was literally bullied into reading him by old Chapo.
