Same and also there’s COVID :|

Give me a scruffy couchguy communist that wants to hang out and hug

A wild New Type of Guy appears

Came here to post this

Trying to come up with a word to describe what it’s doing. Strawmanjacketing?

You’re the one treating it like a game because you think you can trade off on the lives of Palestinian children while simultaneously washing your hands of them.

Watch those actually get counted as votes for Biden, lmao

Ah shit really? Wish I’d known that like, last decade

Yeah and concrete dust, you don’t wanna be breathing any of that.

You look fine bro. I know these feelings are miserable, feels like abandonment or the death of a loved one, but she actually saved you a lot of time and heartache. Plenty more where that came from, you look fit and healthy so the outlook is good.

Yeah they post exactly like a redditor making shit up to prove a point, people are being way too nice to them

They’re not coming back to answer any of these questions lol

All the time haha, best food you can cook in a microwave

Was gonna say, Zionism is pretty much built on being a lying scumbag

That’s still a thing? Wonder if any of them have decent Internet

There’s a third person who explicitly advocated patriotic socialism in an extremely thin “debunking” of Danny Haiphong.

that’s probably the one I’m thinking of. Pretty whack. If they’re still Cornel Westing at this point, ranting about “woke,” and talking about how the American revolution was a rebellion against colonialism then… Well, I just think it’s disappointing because Eddie is (imo) a likeable personality as a host and if they had gone a different route they could have been good at helping to popularize/educate about Marxism instead of vulgarizing it.

They’ve also had Danny Haiphong and Gerald Horne on, both of whom are mentioned in this thread, and those were excellent interviews. They’ve also had Norm Finkelstein and Carl Zha, and other good ones. Also, JT Chapman (Second Thought) went on Midwestern Marx and I wouldn’t say Second Thought is contraindicated.

Haz is cringe, Midwestern Marx has one dude in particular who sucks and I think drags them down. But I wouldn’t want people to get the wrong idea and skip over RBN because they’ve had problematic guests on. Their analysis of the news in light of US material conditions and foreign policy is spot on.

To be fair,

Lots of good recommendations so far but I’m surprised no one has mentioned Revolutionary Blackout (RBN) yet. They’re fun to listen to and well informed on current events, they post often, are full Marxist/“tankie” and they have no pretensions about decorum. I especially enjoy Rome’s epic rants, but all of the hosts are good in their own way and they get excellent guests on like Ajamu Baraka. Sabby Sabs has her own channel and she posts new videos daily.

They put an emphasis on media literacy and debunking corporate media narratives. They’ve been good on the genocide on Palestine and the US funding Nazis in Ukraine. They might have whack views on COVID, not sure TBH because it doesn’t come up that often. They’re also good at contextualizing current events in terms of domestic black and brown issues, which is important because the online leftist video creator space is white af.

Just a couple paragraphs about these dudes because I’m not sure if Hexbear knows about them, generally.

EDIT: oops, fixed the link gore. Also, I forgot to mention that RBN emphasizes mutual aid and community organizing / building dual systems of power, and their revolutionary theory is based (on the Black Panthers)
