[Caution, leftist infighting/snide remarks below]

I’m confused, doesn’t worsening material conditions count as political utility in his eyes?

Edit:I normally wouldn’t have an issue, since it’s actually pretty sane, but I literally thought to myself today “it would be funny if BE said Kirk’s death was a bad thing because adventurism will make things worse.” I was joking. I’m starting to hypothosize that economists [both accelerationist and reformists] are actually simps for the status quo

      I not sure if we changed or if Empanada changed. I noticed a decline when the Gaza genocide started which turned into a free fall when he decided to get into drama slop.

      I wouldn’t say I “upheld” him, I think I agreed with him on a lot of things but disagreed with some of his takes. He was an extremely staunch ten toes down supporter of Palestine at a time when most of leftube wasn’t even thinking about it for example, which I thought was really commendable. But lately he’s been getting worse and worse.

        He is heedlessly contrarian and stumbled upon the correct belief about palestinians and how jewish and/or isntreali voices are centred over them, even in left discourse. Of course this doesnt mean his framework is beneficial to replicate.

          I think his positions on Palestine were arrived at perfectly logically and through study tbh. He was releasing videos on the topic years and years ago. Agree to disagree I suppose.
