      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.

        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.

    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.
