I can’t help but notice that some progressive-leaning channels (like David Pakman, Brian Tyler Cohen and MeidasTouch) have titles like “Trump gets DEVASTATING NEWS that he DREADS”, something like that. That made me think of something:
All both parties do is grift - the Republicans grift by having progressive YouTubers say extreme hardline conservative stuff just to get views and money while the Democrats give their videos clickbaity titles just to get views and money as well as give dark money to these YouTubers.
We need a vanguard Socialist Party that DOESN’T grift, but it’s gonna require a populist platform that focuses on class consciousness…
I’ll start with maybe-not-a-great recommendation - I’ve certainly seen some (sometimes valid) criticism of them, and haven’t really watched myself (mostly been in a couple various podcast episodes I’ve listened to), but at least the criticism isn’t abhorrent like Vaush. The main reason is the content approach/style/appeal to g*mers is maybe somewhat similar-ish: Hasan Piker
I think overall there are probably better options out there for content, though maybe with less appeal to that audience. A couple podcasts I’ve recommended to people previously include: Citations Needed, Red Menace, The Deprogram. The creators behind each (often) also have other content, which I’m overall less familiar with, but presume is generally good.
I’m sure there’s more good stuff out there, too.
