God you people are predictable. The second people call you out you scream “lib”.
The funny thing is for all your spleen venting John Oliver has undoubtedly done more to advance the goals of the American left than you ever have. He has introduced basic left wing talking points about race, the economy, history, societal structures and the deep systemic flaws within and made them palatable and easy to understand for the average American citizen (amazingly the average American is not a Twitter Bolshevik).
I actually credit John Oliver with helping me become more left. Because of his videos on the subject I wanted to learn more left wing things and I discovered Lindsay Ellis, then Shaun, then from Shaun Contrapoints and from her Three Arrows and then philosophy tube and Some More News, renegade cut. All because a funny comedian met me where I was at and got me interested in politics.
(I can't wait for you to explain to me how all those people are actually sucky sellout libs).
If you actually want leftist goals to succeed you have to convince the average person to adopt leftist beliefs and that means conversing with them on their level.
I seriously don’t understand what wannabe revolutionaries like you sneering and sniping at people online and demeaning them and calling them shitty libs actually accomplishes.
Do you think they’ll stick around and listen to your brilliant theory analysis after you basically told them to go fuck themselves?
Is it praxis to be on par with a dead pigs rotten asshole in terms of charisma and charm?
Or are you actually seriously delusional enough to think that there are enough of you and you are well organised enough to bypass electoralism all together and have a revolutionary war?

But whatever you think, as you are now you are not the solution to the lefts problem, rather you are an annoying parasite that alienates fence sitters, causes infighting and validates right wing narratives.
And the only reason you do it is entirely for selfish reasons. So that you get to feel intellectually and ethically superior to others.
Grow up and leave the tankie larping to the playground!
I'll give PhilosophyTube a pass as well, she seems to be more radical than you'd notice at first glance. She still tries to meet libs where they're at, but there's some dogwhistles hidden in most of her recent videos and she's the only big youtuber who cites Marx and Engels as sources in her vids. She does good work, even when the thespian aesthetics aren't for everybody on this site. For people on here, comrades like Hakim or Yugopnik will obviously be more insightful, but if i had to pick somebody leading people into a lib to left pipeline, Abigail would be among my top choices.
But apart from her and Shaun, yeah, that's an incredibly libby selection even by breadtube standards. That entire post is basically confirmation of the social fascism theory. "You are validating right wing narratives by being a communist" 100% equals caving in to nazi demands, allowing them to drive a wedge between us, it is the exact attitude that resulted in Rosa getting murdered and thrown in the Landwehr canal. It is, in consequence, a form of collaborating with fascists.
So, my final verdict here is:
:gulag:
Right wing narrative: scary commies want to arrest landlords and CEOs
Communists : let's arrest landlords and CEOs
Libs: stop validating them
renegade cut is an anarchist, not a liberal.
