Imagine there's a Western backed genocide happening, possible WW3 around the corner, and fascism is coming to power everywhere. And you made video after video about why MLs are bad.

I shouldn't care, but I used to really like BadMouse.

Also imagine being English and making an hour long video attacking an Iraqi communist.

Oof yeah, I used to like Badmouse too. Sad that he went this way considering he's where I even learnt what an ML was. He used to be a ML himself for a bit. I don't understand how he could go from that to regurgitating Red Scare propaganda.

he's pretty notorious for ideology-hopping

do-something c'mon, choose something funny this time.

i'm hoping for one of those hyper-specific ideologies held by a single person on tumblr
c'mon, just mash two slavic names together and call it an ideology

Thyssen-Kruppist, always gotta have a good elevator pitch for it.

Surprised he hasn't become DeLeonist yet.

Slavic names? Why not outright food? Moloko-Rittersport pact (moloko = milk, Ritter Sport = chocolate brand)

The first time I saw his name was a "debunking... myself??" video posted to an old anarchist subreddit, where he made line by line left anarchist rebuttals of one of his previous ancap videos. Within a few years he was an ML and spent a lot of time whining about the impossibility of left unity. No surprise to see he's moved on to whatever this is.

I feel like I know a few people like that in real life, lurching around from ideology to ideology, often looking for connections before getting kicked out for trying to stir shit

I have a feeling most YouTubers don't believe in anything at all. They just make videos that will fill a niche, and if one of their videos gets ten times more views than the rest, that will become their entire shtick. This is how you get self-described "leftists" like Jimmy Dore cranking out anti-vax videos. You don't need to have a dog in the race. All that matters is the videos are doing numbers, so they keep making them.

Everybody except for the proud racists is looking for content which puts a radical patina on the idea that the Communists are taking things too far.

The ideology you are describing is that of a literal reactionary, a person who has no goals or values but simply reacts to the world around them. Some people would call it nihilism.

Is Dore still pretending to be leftist? Should’ve dropped the act a long time ago.
