    Did hexbear collectively forget the video BE made on Ukraine last year that repeated western talking points about Russian hordes and dictator Putin? It was completely incoherent .I feel like people overestimate his knowledge because of his smug confidence vibe.

      I didn’t forget. As I have said before, the vast majority of bread tube, BE especially, are not your allies if you center your politics around anti-imperialism. They exist primarily to muddy the waters and deliberately misunderstand and misrepresent your point of view.

    Common L more like.

    He practices neither Washington nor Moscow CIA ideological lines. He profits off the spectacle of revolutionary language from the safe place of being against Washington but not for any of their strong enemies which means consumers can consume his content without challenging and thoroughly dismantling the western propaganda they’ve been indoctrinated with.

        Russia-Ukraine and China.

        Oh weird, the two countries with the economic and military might to resist the US? The ones who have done the most to facilitate the growth of an alternative multipolar world order? Wonder why those are the only one he opposes curious-sickle

        If someone is an Australian leftist, you should assume that they believe the same sort of shit about China that only the chuddiest of CHUDs believe in until proven otherwise. Australia’s wealthy pushes the idea that all of Australia’s problems are caused by China, so they have an excuse to spend all of our GDP on shitty US submarines, and it works on the vast majority of our “leftists”

    If you’ve spent a little time on Twitter, you’ll know that BE has had some bad takes. The guy is addicted to social media drama.

    I’m case people come at me, yes he’s had good videos.

    Dipshits still comparing Ukraine to Palestine.

    I Guess this comes from assuming that Ukraine was this smol bean country with a tiny army and not one of the largest armies in Europe

      If anything, Donbas could be compared to Palestine. And Ukraine to Israel, same racism, same genocide, same controller. Hell, various Ukrainian officials openly said they want to be like Israel. There were (and maybe still are, idk) even Ukrainians participating in the genocide in Palestine.

      The only real difference is that someone intervened for Donbass and attacked Ukraine while nobody did so for Palestine (yes i know Yemen do everything they can), so now we don’t read about similar genocide in Donbas. If someone invaded Israel after 8 october i bet my left nut that all those antiwar-ism westolefto libshits would be now be standing with Israel (hell some of them still are).

    The left should have centered the discourse around the simple question; Should Ukraine and its Nazi regiments be allowed to ethnically cleanse Donbass?

    Your average lib couldn’t care less and would’ve said yes, but leftists even left trolls would be forced by the inertia of internet debate drama to take the question “seriously” by which I mean they could only answer in the negative or in the way that compromises their left credentials

    By centering the topic around Ukraine vs Russia, liberals and neocon leftists muddy the water while sweeping Ukrainian neo-nazism and their genocidal intentions for Donbass under the rug

      They (edit: the libs) have a hard-on for rULe oF LaW which basically means any internationally-recognized borders (read: backroom deals made a lifetime ago) are forever inviolable.

        Unless of course if NATO wants to reshape them, then it’s suddenly liberation. Looking at the demographic map of Kosovo
