BadEmpanada fans will just say he’s just “saying it like it is,” per usual.

Or BE will walk back on it and just say he’s joking or whatever.
¯_(ツ)_/¯


Nah he’s taking the piss (ie sardonic/ironic) given his whole angle (see below).
Doesn’t mean he’s always right (though his irony here in this is example is just generally correct) or even a scientific socialist given his anti-russian and anti-chinese rhetoric echoing imperial talking points (even anti-maduro stuff in the past regarding elections, from what I recall).
But he is otherwise quite anti-west including holding most westerners (especially USAmericans) accountable for the crimes of their countries. Which is why he sometimes comes off sounding correct because even if you don’t know a thing about socialism or imperialism, being anti-western can sometimes be not too bad an heuristic on politics given how awful the West is and the commanding heights of imperialism being the US.
He openly admits that his viewers have a parasocial relationship with youtubers, that his channel isn’t some revolutionary avenue, and that he is happy to make money making easy dunks such as on pro-zionists. Some of the videos on his main channel can be educational (such as on Nazi Germany’s inspiration from the US with manifest Destiny and Lebensraum).
But he is also a good example that if one wants to extend their political educstion beyond BE level of anti-western imperialism then self claimed marxists better get to grips of prodhounism, dialectical materialism and start reading broadly beyond Settlers*.
*= has no real grounded theory of political economy on why the global labour aristocracy / bourgoisie proleteriat also includes people of colour, especially in the West. It’s great book to introduce someone how bad the history of white western proleteriat is but then hits its limitations quickly.
