I'm fairly familiar with that crew. They have bad takes, but they're definitely in good faith. Should have researched that dude more before half ass touting him though.

The final straw was them "standing by" that cretin Xiangyu in spite of his anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry. I gave them the benefit of the doubt before
I don't understand why they seem to not think through or ignore that the song shits on poor people on welfare. There is a reason that the GOP wanted this singer to represent them. The singer also hates most of the GOP because he recognizes that they are rich assholes. Oliver Anthony hates both the rich and the poor. The capitalist propaganda hating on poor people sticks with Anthony, but he notices that the rich people are objectively fucking people over.
All of this is hoping to cheerlead revolutionary energy instead of having a party that takes power itself. We'll see when or if the DSA or PSL can actually sieze some power or some other organization.
Interesting points made.
Patsocs get the 
this was impossible to watch because all of the audio from MWM was mixed so low and an annoying song in between mixed very loudly, I think the information could have been presented a lot better
it's presented pretty damn well. I'm not sure how it could have been presented any better.
The audio was mixed inconsistently where I had to increase the volume to hear what MWM was saying and then get audio jumpscared by the song you put on inbetween, The information between the clips could have used less snark and been presented with the facts/analysis not being over annoying loud music.
The facts and analysis were fine. It wasn't meant to be dry and academic and I'm working with very cheap equipment.
Im not a MWM fanboy, I just couldnt finish the video and get to your likely relevant points because it was grating, id suggest balancing out the audio a bit more next time.
As for MWM it'd be good to remember hes a relatively young guy still figuring stuff out, while I wouldnt advocate for him as a reliable source of knowledge I wouldnt be annoyed if he contributed to the socialist project I was in either, I just wouldnt give him theoritical or directional control because its clear he has some holes in his theory.
That was the only song I could find at that moment without getting copyright striked and the software I was using didn't let me EQ the volume.
tis better to have no song than one that makes it difficult to watch; I appreciate you're working in limitations but it would be a good idea to resolve those.
I added it because i thought it was awkward to have periods of text without sound.
If you need any advice on audio mixing feel free to DM me, I make music in my spare time too.
