This guy is a pretty hopeless liberal. While he's absolutely obsessed with a certain brand of conservative—and particularly how they behave on the Internet and other public patforms—he identifies himself as part of the status quo of the Democratic Party (you can see this all the time when he uses the word "we"). In particular, he attributes a lot of shit to Democrats without introspection, like assuming they are always honest and well-intentioned.
Like, how would he tell you Democrats are behaving about the concentration camps literally being run within the U.S., now under the direct control of the Democratic administration of Joe "Take Back The Streets" Biden? Would he take a moment of thought and then eat his hat and acknowledge that they're pulling exactly the same behavior that he's describing here for Republicans? The militarization of the police? The continued warmongering, and support of fascists abroad (e.g. Israel)?
This is not leftist material. It's just a part of fearmongering about Republicans in order to get people to accept and wholeheartedly support the fascists under the other brand name of the U.S. uniparty, and never look a single millimeter beyond. Get this shit off BreadTube. Seriously. We can do MUCH better.
Thanks for the feedback. I don't know much about the creator, but I'll take a look at some of their other content.
Sure thing! I think his content is promoted as kind of a "baby's first glance at woke politics," type of deal. But it actually serves to draw people back into Blue Wave type of shit, which just perpetuates our cycles of reactionary right-wing politics. It's like a new generation of the Democratic Party serving to limit the range of left-wing discourse to stuff that's not even really leftist, but just not as explicitly reactionary (i.e. "The Democratic Party is where liberation movements go to die").
Just out of curiosity, do you have a content creator that you would recommend instead?
Marxism Today.
