Favorite bourgeois person? I like Gordon Ramsay, also don’t be like “uummmm akshually i’m dont have a soft spot for anyone!!” I know we all have a guilty pleasure of some celebrity or something
Honestly i like Putin, man is a living meme goldmine, and he can say some pretty based stuff when he wants, too bad he is an conservative oligarch.
Extra sad because he knows his Marxist theory but chooses to be capitalist

Probably Brian Eno. His music is fantastic and he is based (demsoc i think) for calling out Isr*el many times.
I love his Airport music

Larry David, maybe.
This is moderately based
He then triggers PTSD by accident into him by taking him to a civil war recreation camp.
The Palestinian Chicken ep was great
I LOVE Larry David
Not sure if he can be counted as part of the elite but I liked Lou Reed a lot. His interviews are funny.
Same goes for Keith Richards.

Kenji Lopez Alt, another chef hates Ramsay because of his exploitative labour practices.
* Exploitative?
Yes, thank you!

Kanye. He lost his shit, but “808s and heartbreak” is forever.
I have a level of respect for anyone who openly talks about the dragon blood
He’s gonna lose so much shit that he’ll hit the edge of the snow globe and loop back around and become Full Based Genius Mode, watch it happen
This seems very plausible. Someone send him a copy of Das Kapital.
Not sure of a person off the top of my head, but the Yamaha corporation makes great stuff. I’m a musician and I have the Line 6 Helix and it’s like the best piece of gear in the world.
Anthony Bourdain was a reactionary cringe lord but he also produced some of the most heartwarming and honest travel documentaries that you will ever find. As long as he isn’t talking politics his shows are amazing. He will be missed
The Simpsons
I especially love the older seasons, but they really kept going strong until like a lil after the Simpsons Movie. Thats like more than a decade of good comedy
they called denmark socialist
And I took that personally
Gabe Newell
Also Linus “Tech Tips” ““Sebastian”” Media Group, I just have a soft spot for him.
Definitely a based person, has done awesome things for video games.
Its gotta be the Top Gear/Grand Tour trio, when they are not talking about politics their comedy is amazing but other than that its just yikes
do youtubers count? Mines gotta be internet historian, i love his videos but i cannot stand his and the people he host’s views on politics
although its rare to find his take on things, when you do its awful, for a stock image that does a ton of research he is useless at researching about anything else

you are perfectly spot on about about IH thinking that has has everything figured out with a touch of a soft ring-winger, just because you spend way too much time researching on Area 52 or a crashed cruise ship and making a video with stock image puppets dosen’t mean you’re a genius.
Although it takes a lot of looking around in comment sections and such, one of his views is that Hong Kong does not belong to China and he has obvious views on China which he is subtle about. One of the breaking points for me is when i looked up Sumito Media and Regular Things, two dudes which regularly appear in his videos and it didnt take long in looking around their videos to see titles such as “THE WOK STEALS MY SOCIAL CREDIT SCORE???” and “China’s EVIL blah blah blah blah”. Honestly kind of ironic for Sumito in particular since he reminds me of those “self aware good asians that like to make fun of other asians in the name of comedy”
If you want an IH replacement then there is Desinc

For me it’s pro wrestling in general. People like Vince McMahon at the top, who I’m pretty sure played a big part in Trump getting elected - you can see a lot of the manipulative techniques he used for popularity coming right out of Wrestling’s Carnie culture. And there’s the anti Union/Black Panther caricatures they’ve had as past gimmicks.
But then you get some incredibly based individuals in the industry. Lots of leftists and progressives and sometimes you get a hint that someone in WWE might be hiding their class consciousness.
Like here’s Kevin Nash understanding the real reason the US ‘liberated’ Libya from Qaddafi: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxnkaiWBdkrHH-Ji_B8MOeEA3Pv-Df63-B
The ideology of individuals that you meet or see in the industry makes it look like a microcosm of the Western world’s ideology. This overarching cloud of despair, but with little embers of hope just waiting for their moment to catch.
Kane, Chris Jericho and AJ Styles need reeducation though.
Do the bigger youtubers count as bourgeoisie? My favorite would be Markiplier, he seems like a genuinely kind person and is very dedicated in what he does.
Depends, Most youtuber would fall under petty-bourgeois, while I think people that run larger media empires and employ large amounts of people count as bourgeois.
