I want to know more about this guy is he or they(a group?) already on this forum. I mean even if he's a stalinist the dude does have a point with breadtube sounding like Democrat talking heads. Americans are done with that kind of shit its one of the reasons why they picked Trump as a president in the first place AND simped hard for Bernie Sanders.
Ok they are a group.
5:22 "Why we are called infrared is because we are trying to tap into this sense which is not on the visible spectrum of light, it's not on the surface you have to have a deeper sense" HOLY FUCK MY SIDES.
It's full of pretentious quotes. Also it's a group thing, not just one guy, but all of them seem like young western guys.
13:20 "It's a purely reflexive phenomenon in the west, but in all of, in Africa, Latin America, wherever you go that there are Marxist-Leninists these are people who have a profound and deep national, whatever you wanna call it, sense of their own people and this almost in a sense comes first, Marxist-Leninism is just helping them clarify this reality".
NAZBOL! NAZBOL!
It's almost as if western countries push a culture that pushes globalism and shuns any kind of nationalist, patriotic, ideas.
Anyway I can't watch this shit. All their content is long as fuck, I know we joke about leftist memes but holy fuck why do so many leftists think 3+ hour streams are what people want to hear? Especially if you're going to try the pseudointellectual shit where you name drop philosophers so people would have to actively follow the conversation, not just use it as background noise.
Also just like JBP I think anyone that can't speak in a simple, concise manner is a snake oil merchant desperately trying to appear smarter than they are. I know philosophy is full of people who speak like that, but that doesn't justify it, and it comes off as vacuous. Especially when you talk about a socio-economic political system and then just sperg about philosophy. It makes me love how he talked about Xanderhal being out of touch, no one want's a lecture on how Marxism is in tune with objective reality, they want to know about their job security, can they feed their family, etc. You know every day things that actually fucking matter to people. Good luck appealing to the working class with this BS.
I don't think they fall under Breadtube, but it will be fun to see these people argue with them (but holy fuck the content with no arguments is dull). The one guy in particular must have some kind of self hate for being white, because he relaly loves to romanticize Asians and Hispanics as people who are just so in tune with Marxism on an almost spiritual level. It reminds me of the people who talk about Native Americans being in tune with nature based entirely of images in their head of who/what they are.
The crux of the issue is that I disagree that people would pursue meaningful activities if society provided for their needs to the point of comfort. I have very little faith in humanity, so I don't think that the majority of individuals would pursue something like medicine if their basic comfort were guaranteed. Rather, I imagine most would vegetate or pursue things like being a youtuber/influencer.
And I take issue with stacking shelves being less than meaningful. I worked for a while in a university library system in the reshelving department and I found the work quite fulfilling. Maybe that's just the part of my brain that likes the autistic activities involved in organizing and shelving things in a library, but it made me happy to be given a slate of work that took a degree of physical effort, completing it, and going home to cook dinner and relax until I started again the next day. Did I gain skills? No. Was it feeding a curiosity? Well, besides looking at interesting books from time to time, no. But it still felt fulfilling to accomplish something physical and see the fruits of my labour.
I know, I'm saying most people would abandon essential jobs (stacking shelves, delivery services, factory work, etc) to persue other things, only a few of which would be valuable, and even if everyone becomes a fucking rocket scientist, it just means we all starve to death talking about the best way to get to Mars.
Personally I have never found my work in retail particularly meaningful. I get it's needed for things to function, but it never really made me feel satisfied and I only did it for the money, and it was seeing the money that gave me a sense of satisfaction.
