It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Imagine being a YouTuber and having to make four hour long slop. I just couldn't, how can you even engage with something on a purely intellectual level like this and say that you're confident you're informing people correctly, for such a long period of time too? It's remarkable how so many anticapitalists can have the contours of their views molded by capitalist hegemony and barely even realize it.
Oh ho ho ho, she even goes on a mini rant about how people called her out for her andor video repeating propaganda. She just rants on about gulags and stalin. And how her views are molded by facts and tankies won't accept it.
DAE think the USSR and USA are actually the same and both just oppressive states that demonized each other to reinforce their own power?
She just says this at that point. That both countries just propagandized their populations to keep them the authoritarian rules of their respective hierarchical states. But stalinists only see the obfuscated reality that ussr stood against american imperialism in their misunderstood dichotomy.
I sure am glad that the breadtubers are the unique special folk completely immune to propaganda and can tell us all what to think on behalf of the US state department. Who would've thought they lie constantly to their own people, but always tell the truth about their geopolitical enemies? Sure is nice of them to do that.
Damn we found the hypothetical libertarian I made up when Andor came out who saw the empire as the ussr
Does she actually say the word "tankie?"
She says stalinists throughout the section. Mentions that they were criticizing her andor video where she mentions stalin and gulag. Then also just goes into how stalin was a anti semite. She cites this one book I mentioned in the thread which is about how stalinists and left are antisemitic. Keeps saying that same people cheer on hamas and don't condemn October seven.

Okay, before I start, I'd just like to thank SquareSpace for sponsoring this video, thanks to them I managed to make Sovi.et, the premier online space to read theory and get in touch with other comradesYeah but he was engaged on the local struggles, I can't imagine Jessie Gender is if she's making four hour YouTube videos which highlight poor qualities that may be present but are ultimately nonreflective of the ML (or "Stalinist") left
At least down the rabbit hole is well researched and defunctland is high quality. But low quality talking at a camera for four hours?
You just named two of my favorite channels
So many youtubers are convinced that length of video = depth of video. They believe that the longer the video the more "thorough" they are.
Longer videos have also become better for the algorithm, so they all tend to do longer and longer content for that reason as well. Plus making a stream of consciousness rant requires less editing than turning 4 hours of discussion of a topic into a neat and organised half-hour video.
