Recently started looking into actual decent hard-left content creators, discovered BadEmpanada. I could give more detail, but I'm more interested on any critiques from those who know him or his content better.

His theory and long form videos are thoughtful and well researched for the most part.

His persona, on the other hand, is a good example of unwarranted self importance syndrome. He used to have more self awareness and humility about the reality concerning his place in the world a year ago. However, he has descended into being a petty, bitter, condescending, spiteful, snivelling wanker who has to be in the right about everything all the time and thinks he is hot shit just because he has a basic tertiary education in history as opposed to the vast majority of his fellow YouTube and twitch parasites who are going off US state department propaganda alone. His only saving grace is attacking neoliberals for the most part.

Tl;Dr his online persona is your average redditor except left leaning.

Examples of his bullshit:

Deleting YouTube comment threads on his videos whenever he embarrasses himself by unironically doubling down on the most ridiculous shit and is subsequently made fun of.

Tactically deadnaming a right wing trans veteran. *Even if someone is a demon there is never a good reason to be a cuckservative to "own" them.

Replying to ass-random american GoFundMe on Twitter that was raising money for water security by sneering at them for not experiencing "real" water scarcity in the 3rd world.

Bayarea415 drama.

Using the ~~Israel Palestine crisis~~ Palestinian genocide as an excuse to go spew vitriol at a low tier anarchist youtuber for having uneducated opinions in a private discord server. The YouTuber in question was harassed by his fans until they became suicidal and quit.
