I’m not the biggest fan of BE, i think his online persona can be grating at times, and his takes on China are very half-baked and borderline ignorant, but on this issue he is 100% right. Everyone needs to hear this. If you invite liberal Zionists and Zionist apologist socdem politicians on your stream and don’t call them out as the supporters and enablers of genocide that they are, you don’t get to call yourself “pro-Palestinian”.

    I love BE, I’m in that sweet spot of having never engaged with his online presence but occasionally watched his scripted videos. It makes everyone seem absolutely unhinged when they auto-nope out of any conversation involving him, when the takes usually in question is something like ‘genocide bad’

      I’m usually the kind of person who cares about someone’s arguments, way more than their presentation or attitude, and I like some aspects of Bad Empanada, and how he makes liberals frothing-at-the-mouth bad for his surprisingly reserved takes.

      But he is way too soft on lots of things, for me, and he often seems to care more about being a troll, than anything substantive. Which is his right, but regardless.

        Its what drives engagement.

        Also why its best just to ignore this entire circus and just go outside and start causing trouble.
