    What did he do wrong? From what I’ve seen of him his takes are usually pretty based but so ascended from neoliberalim that without much knowledge of geopolitical context it can be difficult to follow

      Don’t get me wrong… BE had some really good takes back when I was watching them - but their “holier than thou” attitude turned me off. I stopped watching them after they made the “All US military personel are murderers” claim - which is just such a Hollywood-leftist take I couldn’t believe it.

          Look - this whole pretend-hostility towards military veterans you are demonstrating? It was never a “left” thing - it was invented by right-wing propagandists after the Vietnam War, okay?

          So please stop with the Hollywood-leftism - you’re not helping anyone.

              Your edgelord pretend-leftism is as unimpressive here as it is everywhere else.

                I keep forgetting that to be a real leftist you need to glorify murderers who are the arms of imperialism. Maybe my “the gangs of pillagers and rapists bulldozing the global south aren’t nice” worldview is too utopic.

                  Watch out there… you’re about to slip from “unimpressive” to “caricature.”

                    I’ll happily be a caricature of someone who doesn’t stand up for murderers. You keep coddling the imperialist kill squads, comrade.
