Not many I follow too closely to be honest these days. I just did a big purge of a bunch of my subscriptions so there’s only a handful now.

Gaming/Entertainment:

  • Nextlander: General gaming; comprised of three ex-members of Giant Bomb (Vinny, Alex, and Brad).

  • Mr. Samuel Streamer: Primarily focused on Rimworld and Crusader Kings, just an extremely witty guy that puts a lot of work into what he does. Often spends 8-9 hours in gameplay and editing to make a 30 minute episode, every day.

  • Nilaus: Factory/automation games, like Factorio and Dyson Sphere Program.

  • The Jimmy Dore Show: Semi-leftist, has liberal tendancies but is more political comedy than serious commentary, so I categorize him more as entertainment than political. I often don’t agree with all of his takes, but the show can be good sometimes.

  • CryptTV: Mini-horror episodes, often with a few recurring monsters. Really well done effects work.

Politics:

  • Li Jingjing: China-based journalist, covers China and the global south as a whole. Does both serious stories and cultural/interest pieces. Great for somebody just interested in seeing more China without the anti-China rhetoric.

  • George Galloway: Left-leaning talk show host, some reactionary tendancies but he does have a pretty good range of guests from time to time, including the above. He’s been around for ages, very well established.

  • The Deprogram: Leftist talk show and podcast.

That’s kind of my entire subscription list at the moment, it has been cut down a lot recenty.

The China Show. Latest Video shows the astonishing destruction from the floods in Beijing and how the CCP is doing their best to cover it up. Literally. No, actually literally. Timecode is about 7:20 if I remember correctly.

I’ve been binging their videos for 2 weeks, and learning so much about how China actually works.

Oh no, not the racist sexpats. Not sure I would necessarily want to be using those guys as your source of news in China. Laowhy is an absolute piece of shit to his wife, and actually made a video of himself desecrating gravesites in Taiwan and laughing about it. Complained that his daughter looked too asian. Just an absolute piece of garbage.

They found out being condescending towards Chinese people sells right now, and that has been their entire brand since they left the country. They’re probably useful in that anything they say, you can assume the exact opposite is the truth.

Wow a wumao! I didn’t expect to see one here!

Give my regards to Winnie.

You know Winston and Laowhy86 are fighting for you and against the CCP right? You know they only want the oppression of the CCP to end and for China’s people to be free right? You know every single episode like 5 times they will say ‘and we aren’t talking about the Chinese people, the Chinese people are good people, we love China, we are opposed to the CCP’?

If you want to talk smack about Laowhy then you better provide proof. I’ve seen what you guys do. Winston liked a comment from someone who said ‘that toilet needs to be napalmed’ and then all you wumao’s are like ‘Winston wants to napalm Asians!’

It’s not working, Mr CCP Shill. Come over to the light side and help us criticise the CCP and expose their racism, oppression and corruption that is holding back China’s development. Don’t do it for me, do it for the Chinese people who deserve better than Xi Jinping’s tyranny.

Shock, the guy who watches racists is a racist.

‘and we aren’t talking about the Chinese people, the Chinese people are good people, we love China, we are opposed to the CCP’?

The white man’s burden bullshit argument. Oh those poor Chinese people can’t possibly really support the CPC, they are just misguided and need us brave foreigners to come save them.

If you want to talk smack about Laowhy then you better provide proof.

Laowhy desecrating remains. His girlfriend (at the time) calls him out on it and he tells her to shut up because it makes good content. Nobody who loves China descreates their dead. You can’t even use the excuse that he was confused or didn’t know what it was, he was told to stop and refuses.

His treatment of his wife. Makes her sit on the floor of the car while he makes racist jokes with his family. Sorry to link to reddit, I don’t keep extensive archives of these guys.

Not expecting you to suddenly change your opinion on the CPC, but these guys in particularly are indefensible and nobody should be encouraged to watch them.

+1 for primitive technology. Interesting guy that goes out to some empty land in I think Australia and builds houses and all kinds of stuff with just his hands and tools he makes himself. He is going for forging his own iron knife now, which is insanely impressive.
