    Oh right. I think BadEmpanada actually has bad material analysis, bad attention to detail, and bad methodology. It’s actually really easy to figure out the correct stance on isntreal vs Palestine because the former is committing horrific acts of mass murder against the largely defenseless population in the latter. It’s almost a truer test of someone’s analytical skills to see what their stances on China and Ukraine are, and BadEmpanada fails those tests.

    Yeah. Bad Empanada is fun when he’s an attack dog against bad shit, but he’s not careful at all and goes headlong into everything he does. Like I specifically remember watching him talk to Matt Binder, who is a pretty nonoffensive demsoc youtuber who used to work for Sam Seder and now reports on crypto scammers and such. Nice guy, does above average investigative work and interviews compared to the rest of the YouTube politics scene. Bad Empanada went ape shit at the guy because he thought he was saying Argentina is a bunch of Nazis, or something, and he wasn’t saying that, but BE refused to believe him and just kept freaking out and going apeshit at him like you’d talk to a cryptofascist or something.

    It was really weird. That’s when I realized his passion really is not undergirded by much discipline if that makes sense. This whole transphobic thing is really off the wall
