      I havent reached any sort of consensus re: Dore except he commands attention like a train wreck.

      I don't really know why he was canceled. I've never seen him do anything cancel worthy, and the only reason I've been able to conclude, is that Majority Report was openly hostile toward him.

          That's okay, let me be more general: I don't know why people disliked Dore. The man has always spoken truth with conviction, whereas the Majority Report has always pushed strategies that have historically failed repeatedly

          well yeah I don't expect him to be a communist and if you shouldn't expect that from most left wing youtubers, but he does call for general strikes/mass action and critiques Bernie/AOC when others aren't willing, just watch this fire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdSoz5Wu1mI&list=FLIL2kzc5w4MpP_QcPYqI0EA&index

              Oh no some one with an ego

              This is why the US left sucks. It wants non ego egg heads. No one gives a shit about theory or Marx or other wonky ass philosophy bs that puts people to sleep. they are pissed and want some one to validate their feelings and than you go from there.

              I found it extremely cathartic sometimes it does feel like you're the only one trying to get the progressives in Congress to do something

      AFAIK he likes (liked?) Tulsi, which people jumped on for the Hindutva stuff and now she's cancelled for being a TERF. But she was right on Syria, and Dore has antiwar instincts even if he isn't a principled leftist.

      oh yeah, and like, Sam Seder doesn't like him, but now that Michael's gone MR is libbing it up anyway

    Can someone fill in some background? Not familiar enough with Stoller, or this conversation in the clip, to get the full effect.

      Matt was ranting about how the left and progressives are fake. Have no agenda. And than he starts talking about how M4a means nothing. And that committee seats mean something. And other wonkery.

      The whole time Dore is on is worth watching, there are good points made and pretty funny and the 15-20 before also. Where it's Matt and siorta hashing things out.

      I’ve had the displeasure of listening to him on useful idiots:

      A) anti China chud (like full on)

      B) hates Howard Zinn, idealist (and great man of history fan, but this is under question, didn’t want to research his beliefs)

      C) will vote for gop neofash/strasserite
