On a serious note his ultracomm ideology, nihilism, and the fact that I don’t think I’ve ever heard him speak positively about another leftist made me doubletake what I was reading.

He was positively talking about Greta thunberg and Maureen galindo more recently,
imo I think we need someone like BE as an avant-garde to bully the rest of the imperial-core pseudo-left about their bs and push the discussion more and more left,
I don’t think every communist should be like that but somone has to yell at the libs in disguise
BE was repeating imperial core propaganda about the “Uyghur genocide” in his “balanced” video about the topic. From start to finish it was basically “well if everybody says it, then it must be true”. Then, because a “famous” “communist” said it, we have to go around and do more work to undo the damage his video did. And I’m supposed to think he’s on my side.
He repeats the same contradictions inherent to any content creator: taking money to say what his audience wants to hear from him. But he seems to think that being terminally irony-poisoned and declaring war against the world somehow extirpates him from that contradiction. He’s no better than any other of those content creators who made “teaching marxism” into their livelihood.
Idk if he called it a genocide, and a fourth of the video was looking into chinese sources i think
