Is he really just a Trot? That's my impression.

Sometimes based, but often way too critical of AES.

He’s no Trotskyist, but he definitely has something against China. He’s great when it comes to Latin America and Israel , but he seems I little weirder with the East. His bad takes include: “ACAB includes Chinese cops,” “Uyghur genocide is exaggerated, but there’s definitely some oppression going on” and “grayzone and multipolarista are contrarians, just because false us propaganda says China bad, it doesn’t mean China good.” He seems to think that China will never be near as bad as the US, but that doesn’t mean they’re good. He’s willing to defend Stalin with facts and logic, but he’s not his strongest supporter. And he also doesn’t have a good definition for socialism (he basically gave the definition for Utilitarianism instead when asked). Overall I think he’s a good researcher and his videos are valuable, but take his China takes with a grain of salt. Also, BE 2 is just terminally online streamer drama.

I believe the title is a joke

The title is really poorly worded, basically the video says that if you speak English and live in the third world you most likely have some class privilege and that you will most likely have opinions that align with those of anglos. Which is basically Reddit's user base.

[-] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 years ago

It's kind of true. All third world subreddits are shit.

Reddit is becoming really popular in India. A lot of children who are not that good at English have begun using it. A lot of Indian meme subreddits are making using of Hindi and Hinglish.

it's a decent ~~rule~~ initial assumption, especially if they have a Bri*ish or Amerikan accent

[-] supersolid_snake@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Pakistan literally has more English speakers than the UK. I think a better rule would be if they went to really expensive ivy leagues for political science or whatever the UK equivalents are, oxford I assume.

A lot of immigrants also end up losing their accent but are definitely not from the upper classes.

A corporate lawyer who moonlit as an ML youtuber. He would wear a ski mask and sunglasses and use a voice modulator in his videos to hide his identity. Some of his better known work are videos countering US propaganda about Xinjiang.

[-] TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 years ago

FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

FUCK I MISS BAYCHAD

[-] commiewolf@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Is there evidence for this?

[-] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

BadEmpanada had his account deleted afterward.

[-] commiewolf@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 years ago

But could you link evidence for this, if this is true its really shitty of him

[-] DrSankara@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Hakim is based in Wisconsin

[-] CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 years ago

What if Wisconcom is just Hakim trolling lemmygrad?

[-] lil_tank@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 years ago

I can very well imagine him cracking a laugh writing insane shit on his phone between two balls palpation

[-] absentthereaper@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I can only hope the things I've called his theoretical sock got a belly laugh out of him tbh
