I’ll allow their use of AI.
Sadly they’ve got a Ricky Gervais video as the ai subtitling sample, but then again it is his anti Hollywood golden globes speech… which was essentially controlled opposition.

Wait why’s he a fed? I just know that he’s annoying
In addition to what Molotov said he’s also openly talked about working with the feds training them to recognize online extremism, and I don’t trust anyone who’s willing to train cops
Edit:
Wah holy shit. So he was trying to harm reduction his CIA/Fed collaboration? Niiice
Yea pretty much. He puts on this anarchist/leftist aesthetic/costume but anyone who works with the feds is no comrade of mine.
I believe his “defence” is that he’s training them to persecute right-wing extremists, but I can’t believe he’s so naive as to think they wouldn’t use that knowledge to suppress leftists
Yeah that’s super suspicious, and good to know. I was on a road trip and listened to one of his Behind the Bastards where Margaret Killjoy was the guest and he just flat out interrupted her constantly and kept finishing her sentences, it was so frustrating that even with that I decided I didn’t like him but this is even more reason. Not just insufferable, but an insufferable opp
Works for Bellingcat. They’re an OSINT (open source intelligence) org who receive most of their funding from US/UK governments and NED (National Endowment for Democracy - US propaganda arm & CIA cutout).
Full of intelligence assets & aggressively manufacture consent (and sometimes faked ‘evidence’) in support of US foreign policy and to go after state enemies.
Yikes, that’s real bad. Wonder why he would be so open about being employed by them considering his audience
There’s still an enormous pool of Americans who maintain their chauvinism via the facade of the two party system, where every admitted problem with America can be attributed to the far right - whether that’s fash marching in the streets, republican politicians, or ‘rightwing’ billionaires. Any uniparty or foreign policy can simply be blamed on the other team in order to preserve the idea of America as a postive beacon of light in the world, and mroe importantly, their own heads.
If your audience is only ever looking for you to prescribe blame to that group, you can completely wash any complicity of yourself or your audiences role and views in the problem.
So basically you’re saying that his audience are libs, more or less, who maintain that blind spot intentionally so that they don’t have to engage in self criticism and do the hard work it takes to shift their own paradigm? Cuz yeah it’s much easier to just take his word for it, I guess, than thinking that someone on “your team” could be doing something nefarious…It’s just very difficult for me to understand people who are happy with surface explanations and don’t want to do further investigation. To me that quality is the foundation of leftist thought.
If I were to give him the benefit of the doubt I could see him acting as a plant to throw the feds off, maybe, but how likely is that? Idk
