Third worldism implies you need to get first world poorer for them to wake up, well, you need then challenge structures producing super profits (piracy, some diy anarchist pharma projects, restaurant coops, non owned gig economy apps) so that poorer first worlders can have an alternative economy to disappear into, cause flat inflation without them just produces fashies, as we can see again in the west. As there is no such projects, wasting efforts on big electoralism is just ahistorical (I do think smaller scale stuff of like local prosecutors or schools is great tbh, but then you can’t make a video about it and likely shouldn’t to be low-key about it)

On historic scale, petit bougie podcasters are all fucked compared to yesteryear, from: praxis advocacy (some frenchie theorists, whatever their faults, were sneaking guns to algiers, it was also illegal then), while not a single podcaster interviewed pal action/joined flotilla(aside from 5-4 lady and delete your account lady)/advocated anything illegal, like derailing trains or sabotaging factories or beating up workers producing bombs; interrelated legal paranoia over what you can say to not get in jail (which is nothing); commitment to never ever challenge your own production habits (say fucking off from youtube)

I think I’m further of despair scale than him tbh, he thinks being oppressed by imperial core provides some moral clarity, but i don’t think it does, there is some cutoff point of like 5-10k a year where treatlerism starts to win in global south over solidarity as well, as evidenced by arab/turkey neighbors (a decade from arab spring as well, which is laughable). By treatlerism i mean, people are not willing to risk something material to get something for the conscience. Yemenis being the poorest and most committed says something about humanity, and it’s not something good. In the west, support even more weird mix of younger and older population, on the upper side of spectrum, largely student but not exclusively.

But at the same time, riddle me this, how many people in jdam factory actively believe they produce weapons for the genocide that they believe happens (50%? 10? 1?) and do jack shit with it? Large unions in america are little imperial hogs, he is correct on that front, it’s fucking jokerifying to have ilm be proud of continued military production transportation or uaw chapters of “murder-gromann” saying 10% is not enuff.

Although, again in larger history arc making us weapons even more expensive is net good.

His trans crashout is just inexcusable tho, just believing twitter is real life level stuff, sees two trans breadtubers being radlibs(which they always were), therefore they are all that, while normal people, trans and otherwise, just don’t use twitter or be content creators.

P.s. anglobrainrot hypothesis: it must be noticed as well, that italian, greek unions don’t carry depraved empire genes, although that doesn’t work on germans (but they have hitlerite shit), so that slightly redeems organized labor in the first world. Divestments are largely consumer side actions, but they also happen on norway/italy side, rather than central nato core

P.p.s you may notice this is largely morality side, cause average imperial core inhabitant is treatlerite to the bone. Forget paying 10% more so that slave labor disappears, these motherfuckers will not pay 10% more so that their healthcare is free (they will pay 30% more if the market says so tho). Inside imperial core leftist politics can only be treatlerite friendly and profit abortive, thus coops paying more than small business owners is the only vector i can see tbh, so high margins anti business hunts.
