agreed. it is definitely part of the breadtube culture of positioning oneself as radical, while not straying too far for keynesian social democracy. maybe a better title would be "unlearning neoliberal economics", since that is what he is actually deconstructs, not capitalist economics fundamentally. for UE it is probably much less effort, since EU/UK econ schools already are much more focused on keynesian or behavioral economics than in US (he has a behavioral econ degree). for US viewership it is seen as super radical. so it is probably his econ courses just adapted to youtube

i think he described himself as a market socialist at some point. and yeah his marxism takes are the worst. its the common western problem of thinking that marx wrote good antitrust laws or something

She was pro Harris getting nominated for VP, so it checks out. At least Davis is consistent

I don't think it matters if it's a choice or not. Like if someone chooses to be queer, why not, it shouldn't invalidate their identity. It also shouldn't matter for availability of healthcare. Like if a cis person can get gender affirming surgery/treatment just because they chose to, then why not trans people.

yeah rybar is an ultranationalist. the soviet narratives that he wants to rethink are internationalism and multiculturalism

For real. I've had this experience recently with Cuba 1964. It is a fiction movie but still, so clear about its politics.
