      What did he write for Infowars? Do they exclusively publish lies or is their barrier to entry just low? I’ve found Brian Berletic to use sources well, be transparent and make logical conclusions with few or reasonable leaps.

      It’s a little frustrating that you seem to ignore everything i wrote about engaging with the content of a piece instead of just attacking the messenger.

      To answer your question, no, there is not much out there with this level of quality of analysis on these topics. There just isn’t a huge amount of content like this coming from progressive channels, i wish there was. By the way this channel isn’t even the worst offender as far as reactionary sources of good geopolitical analysis that have been shared here. When we do so we assume a certain level of political maturity from our comrades, such that they can engage with the analysis presented and separate that from whatever other reactionary views that source may have.

      If someone is uncomfortable with giving a particular channel views they can use one of the alternative links provided where the video is embedded on a third party website. I’d recommend doing that anyway for privacy reasons.

      The advantage of videos like this is that they use the western media’s own reporting and publicly available information to show how when you actually dissect what they are saying they frequently slip up and admit the truth even while they try to spin it to fit their narrative. That is helpful when trying to deprogram people who would otherwise not trust any non-western source, or who would refuse to listen to any overtly communist channels.

      If you think that sharing videos like this should come with a content warning to caution against listening to these sources on other topics then that is totally valid and we can absolutely do that.
