      First I heard of him was as a guest on Well There’s Your Problem, where he dunked on the SovU for a bit and then started loudly complaining afterwards cause he was being bullied on Twitter over it.

      So yeah, this is all tracking so far.

        He had some good takes on how dumb shit Tesla is and more generally how Musk’s projects are trash fires, but it seems Ceausescu got rooted in his brain as what communism is and that’s that

    I stopped after he was comparing Banderites to members of ISIS and how their politics have to be reactionary to defend themselves against invaders. It’s just a repetition of what the State Departments wants you to think of these events.

    EDIT: I skipped around the video at 31:17 and he’s going like “WE HAD TO INTEGRATE THE AZOV BATTALION, UKRAINE DIDN’T HAVE A CHOICE!!!”. Literally the same arguments used to justify Hitler. This is the brainrot that comes from ‘realist’ geopolitical analysis, no opinion from the masses.

    Also cites radio free europe as a source to dismiss anti-Semitism attacks. It seems like we’ve forgotten that a big part of the Nazi ideology was also anti-slavic so it’s simply not to say that “they cannot be nazi’s because jews are in the azov battalion” (ignoring how modern day Israel resembles much of Nazi policies in trying to make a settler colonial state against Palestine).

    I don’t want to spend 40 minutes on this lol. I’ve gone in for 6 and it’s already told people to use V*ush videos to debunk Prager U, gone on a tangent about modern “Stalinists”, and quibbled about Ukraine being a US proxy without contending with what anyone claiming such a thing actually uses to justify it. It’s just storytelling and no analysis from someone dropping “rationalist” dog whistles every two minutes.

      It doesn’t have to make sense, just give a sense of confirmation to viewers that already sit in or near his ideological camp.

        It feels like listening to a baby atheist trying to debunk Islam because they read 1/3 of a Dawkins book. What they lack in knowledge they make up for in the pretense of certainty.

        I watched a little more and now he just quibbled about the difference between US funds and weapons “ending up” with Nazis vs the US funding Nazis, with the debunk being a hypothetical about Nazi Germany. He never contends with what the articles say nor the fact that the US has specifically targeted support to Nazi groups. Just moves on after the hypothetical. When calling it out, he basically did the :reddit-logo: fallacy citation thing too, lol.

        I’m impressed that there are so many dum-dums out there who take this seriously.

          What, like a hypothetical reality where we didn’t put them all right back into power after they had done the holocaust? This fucking dog brain
