From what I saw he’s a “Orwell is a great socialist author” and “the USSR was fascist” kind of terminally white bourgeois British dude. Did he, like, watched a Hakim or JT video before accepting?? I hope it’s because he’s having a redemption arc or something
Ultimately I agree with you, but I think it’s important to keep in mind that the current propaganda system is really hard to get through and that we can’t expect everybody to grasp all the counterintuitive realities at once.
You rightly shown how reactionary those positions were when analyzed with historical knowledge and within a scientific framework but we need to identify when something stems from genuine ignorance, idealism, and positive core values. If we don’t do that then 90% of the imperial core population are “card-carrying” fascists, when the reality is, a majority genuinely don’t realise how some of their positions are in fact pro capital
