I linked to the timestamp, it’s a long ass video. The front part of the video is great, total normal TC content. Post video though, he gets into his personal politics somewhat, and here I’m thinking “oh, secret Marxist reveal?”, but then he gets into partisan politics and it’s a full-blown crash out about defiling the constitution and how Dems are always trying to make things better, but republicans show up to undo it all. He reads from the declaration of independence, waxes on about the constitution, the whole nine-yards.
It’s really great. Lots of respect. He puts it all out there. If he’s interested, I think Cowbee has a reading list he might be interested in.
he seems so close to getting it
Either that or he does get it but is holding back to reach his audience. I think it’s not that though. It usually isn’t.
man deserves an emmy for all that constitution shit if that was hiding his power level.
I regularly deal with an American conservative relative. I sometimes do this kind of thing when I think my actual leftism isn’t worth the argument. I also have to deal with neoliberal nut jobs more locally on a daily basis, I do the local variant of this day in and day out. I consider myself successful if I can get the liberals to call a fascist a fascist, even if I can’t fix their fundamental misunderstanding of how it happened, how it can happen here, and what to do about it from the position we are in.
Hiding one’s power level like this, in most cases, isn’t Emmy worthy. It’s just daily life for leftists in conservative areas where liberal children of the Cold War are the very best you’re going to get for neighbours and family and friends. I can’t go around quoting Lenin. But I can say that the US is a fucked up shithole and we must avoid our country going down the same path, and that makes the conservatives mad but it’s not as bad as what both the conservatives and the libs would do to a proud commie.
