  • The Kavernackle made a couple videos on it (despite him saying he was going on break right befroe it happened) I don’t watch streamers and the vas tmajority of leftists youtubers are video essayists. the only ones i followed that aren’t like that. Are S4A (Sort of) who covered it, and kavernackle. So I’m not sure what you are refering too. Idk if i’d call them leftist media. though. They aren’t really big enough for that. Especially S4A. Kavernackle vuideos rae more covering how peopel react ot it than the event itself though tbf.






  • I think you are giving crypto bors too much credit. The entire industry is literally built on exploiting other people (and that’strue for most industries under capitalism) but in crypot it’s in a far more direct often scamming way. Anyone who’s a crypto bro at this point in time does not care aboiut morals or ethics cause if tehy did they woudln’t be a crypto bro. I doubt many of them think they are the good guys at best they are moral nihilists. It’s definitley not that htey are too sucked into realize this person calling themselve sevil. or doing evil things. it’s more that htey care more about money than they do of morals.











  • Yeah they even removed my comments that weren’t even political just stating facts, like that the east india company is responsible for the deaths of upwards of 180 million people or explaining what communism is. or debunking misinformation. The only one of my comments that was took an explicit political stance was this one Like most of them weren’t even politicla they were just educating people on geopolitics, political theory, and history. Sure some anti-capitalist bias might have filtered through inthe way iw orded it but they were just statements of fact. So i mean they were most apolitical. idk the moderation is very weird. If they don’t want politics they shouldv’e just locked the thread or deleted it. They seem to be removing sleect comments for no real reason. but other similar comments are kept.




  • There is something to risk reduction, but it’s more about voting strategically, if you have a chance to sway the election it makes sense to vote in arisk reductive manner from a practical standpoint, however, There’s also something to be said about voting for a marxist canidate not because they have a good chance of getting elected but to show support for a marxist party. To make it more clear people support them. The lesser evil concept in us democracy is stupid to begin with because a. in the presidential election the majority of the population has bascially no effect on the system if you live in california they are going to vote blue if you live in texas tehy are giong to vote red. As such ti doesnt’ really matter. It also assumes the reason for voting is to get people elected. Which as a revolutionary marxist it should be more a means to an end regardless. You vote to raise awareness of your cause and to create solidarity. If you are voting in an electino you mathematically have virtually zero chance of swaying it makes more sense to vote for a marxist canidate in the hopes that if enough people vote for it it might show up in statistics and introduce people to the cause.
