Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I agree. That's why I don't think to hard about it. But it's subtle if your just watching his videos over speakers like I am and it felt very wired to go back to videos I had watched and realize there was this whispering prayer behind them all when I first realized it was there. I'm not being snarky. I mean it literally, don't think to hard about this weird aspect of this dude, because the analysis is good. I do think people should be aware though.
We are all biased right? Part of being a socialist is understanding that fact and also owning it. Most socialist media online is up front about their socialist bias. This channel is open about it's bias, it's not hidden, but it isn't front and center either. It would be just as strange if behind these videos he was reading Capital in a whispered voice with almost no mention of Marx anywhere else in the videos.
It did feel a bit deceptive when I became aware of this Christian element of the channel. However, over time it became clear this dude makes informative content, and he's clearly not trying to convert anyone with his content. So that bias is harmless so long as it's not impacting his analysis.
