Regarding him, his brother and their channels:
Anti-free will, wrote a whole book about it(the fault in our stars)
Anti-nationalist, accuses nationalism of being globalism, i.e. trying to take over the world lol while himself shilling for a one world gov
Anti-racist, pretends races are equal, blames whites for having more blacks in prison
Anti-prison even, lol, so pro-crime
Pro-abortion, killing babies is alright to please roasties
Anti-white, focuses on white men being evil historically
Anti-capitalist/anti-social darwinism and funny enough against voluntary charity but instead in favor of compulsory international taxation for global welfare(the peter singer position)
Anti-wage gap lol
Pro-climate change rhetorics to support NWO
Pro-LGBTQ self destruction(what happened to the utilitarian values?)
Pro-vaxx, guilt-tripping people who refuse, also in favor of forced vaccination
Anti-respecting one's own family and dead relatives
Uses developing vs developed nations terminology, implying rich countries are not allowed to develop anymore or are *done* and secondary, it also associates productivity to poverty instead of the opposite

The big tent was always a mistake. Leftists gave up being the real opposition so they could be the domesticated "permitted" opposition. The New Left and Marcuse really fucked it all up by trying to recruit hippie generation students. Students are already pieces of fucking shit, worthless twentysomething hipster faggots running on pure narcissism. Hippies just sweetened the deal since they are even bigger sellouts than students. A hippie student is the worst cancer ever created. Read Adorno's letters to Marcuse about supporting the student movement in '68.

Did you see Habermas coming out in support of even harsher statist biopolitical controls for COVID? And did you see the entire French intelligentsia's response to Agamben being against COVID tyranny? Did you see Jacobin being pro-lockdowns, and "leftists" on Twitter twisting in pretzels to justify the truckers not being workers during the trucker strike/protest, because "they own their own businesses, they're petit bourgeois?" Holy fuck just absolutely worthless trash people. I am right wing because I hate rich people to a fanatical degree, and I think all politicians are corrupt by definition if they made it as politicians and all political movements are controlled. I would have gladly supported Bernie if he didn't suck Neera Tanden's dick and debase himself at the feet of the very people who humiliated him and his own constituents. I don't care about anything other than causing a circulation of the elites. If it has to be done through Buchananite populism and President Carlson, I'll take it. Fuck virtue signalling lifestyle leftist faggots, and fuck rich human trash college kids who all know where their bread is buttered at the end of the day, viz. going to yet another party full of freaks and fops and sexual degenerates to do drugs and share twitter accounts and talk about podcasts.

Yep. They will also call anything good right wing if they need to demonize it. Leftists want to create a schizophrenic reality. Right now they are protesting in Georgia (the country) because the government wants to pass a transparency bill that will force media and nongovernmental organizations to disclose foreign funding, but apparently it's bad because it will show that the west is investing hard on propaganda, which will make Russia look good in comparison.

Yeah, it pretty much is. You have a centralized economy and Katniss establishes herself as a rebel by engaging in private commerce before she ever gets reaped for the Games.

But the thing is that the people in power understand and recognize that their economy is ineffective, because they purposefully implemented it as a tool of oppression. IMO that was actually pretty brilliant, it creates a rorschach test where the government of Panem is plainly evil but you can ascribe whatever political system you want: stodgy conservatism or misguided revolutionary or whatever. I think the left's fascination with the story has more to do with Katniss being promoted as a feminist icon than the specific politics being discussed.

He definitely nailed Green's style of premise, but 98.4% of writing is execution, not premise. Not that John Green of all writers would be prohibitively difficult to imitate in that respect, but it's worth noting. Let it not be said that poplit is bad because it doesn't take any kind of skill or effort, just that the skills one has to cultivate is nivellated and the effort put in is contempt of God. He has a genuine talent for pandering to atomized adolescents and skillfully emulates their consciousness and, for a time, he formed a technological personality cult around that image. Of course, they ended up turning on him, editing Tumblr posts to be about him swallowing semen, making up rumors about him, and overall framing him as an effigy in their culture war. It's somewhat poetic.

Open borders in capitalist society is nothing but a way for corporations to crush domestic workers. Atomization from social unrest is another tool of control. They state openly what mass migration is about; “the economy”, only for some reason nobody dares say the obvious - that without this dilution the power swings over to the workers who become in higher demand and hence worth more. There’s no marxist mumbo jumbo involved here, just unspoken capitalist realism and the idea that you’re too dumb to see it and can be convinced that these cunts grew a bleeding heart and it’s about saving the world.
Internationalism with marxist revolutions is a pipe dream or nightmare. The leftists that organized for worker safety and fair wages got shit done, they changed society. Now we’re to let it all crumble because the nu-left is brainwashed to think neoliberal corporate policy slogans works for them.
