I'm sure he'll drop the usual "communism is when oppression" stuff all libs subconsciously do whenever they veer towards being neutral towards socialism, but I hope it isn't too bad. I know we just kind of have to deal with it, but it is frustrating when I'm watching an otherwise great content creator and they just add a couple of throwaway lines about "communist oppression." Same with people in real life. People just kind of subconsciously drop random comments about things they know nothing about but have very firm opinions lodged into their heads.

And it's something they don't even think about, something they probably aren't even aware that they are doing. It just feels so...violating? Like the person was behaving normally and then suddenly they're like a robot regurgitating the line they were programmed to say. And you can't bring attention to this or else they, or other people in the room, get incredibly angry, for reasons I don't think they fully understand. And that's when they say something relatively generic and benign. It's even worse when I'm half expecting every content creator to just reveal that they are functionally a white supremacist or something, they may not call themselves that, but they have passively absorbed a lot of fucked up ideas that they refuse to challenge. Sorry this turned into a rant. I'm really tired, both physically and mentally right now.
