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!
While good for introducing people to some leftist issues bread tube fails to send people further down the pipe. You got that one dude with long hair and beard we rag on telling his audience everyone left of him is a tankie or some shit. The effectively stop radicalism leftward by keeping people comfortable where they at.
There also seems more concern with reaching reactionaries than more marginalized people which I'm not saying shouldn't be done but they go out their way to shit on the left which they usually depict as coded lgbtq saying I'm not like them I'm cool and reasonable. If it's not clear who I'm talking about mainly thinking of vash.
