Lefty Youtuber Chart

Recently Muke made a video talking about the leftist community on YouTube and he listed a bunch of them. Taking his list from that video and a bunch of the other people I already know about, I'm considering making a chart of all these people. Similar to the one i helped half chan Holla Forums create few years back. I also figured we could list news sites and sources as it's a common question asked here and having a one stop shop chart to give would make things easier.

Feel free to suggest other people/new sites or give reasons why these shouldn't be on there. If you're a leftypol youtuber who isn't listed please feel free to shill your channel for once. Here is the list so far:

Is this just for theory channels or can we include music channels too? If so, here's the best one:

youtube.com/c/GETchan

Sargon of Akkad should be top of the leftist academic list.

wew mate it's like socdems are lame on purpose.

Um delete this sweetie x

Got me.

You might want to include something for podcasts, as they seem to popping up a lot.

Chapo Trap House
Street Fight Radio
Delete Your Account
District Sentinel
Discourse Collective
Intercepted with Jeremy Scahill
Volcel Nation

Not exactly political, but related:
Cum Town

I love Jontron but he recently went full idpol on Twitter over 'Get Out'.

..also what's wrong with game grumps and twobestfriendsplay and pbg?

Are you talking about the OP image? I'm assuming being bad according to that image means "not racist enough."

Distict lack of NorthernEgg on that pic

He is there on leftist academics. I was recently watching his videos again and was reminded of the stupidity of Mrcropper. This objectivist retard has been on youtube since the ancient days and he still hasn't cracked 3k subs lel.

youtube.com/channel/UCApg8W8DpPu_BkN3Ju0JnmQ


I did list Chapo, but I will make a separate section for podcasts.


The chart was made collectively by Holla Forums at the time. Not all opinions are mine.

I've never really watched game grumps and I've never seen a video of TBP ever. Peanut's Zelda videos were entertaining enough from what i remember.

Yeah I saw Hbombers video on Jon/Sargon and I cant say I was disappointed in a sense because I remember being linked to a chat room back when where a bunch of youtubers were having a hangout with the Internetaristorcrat deep in the middle of Gamergate. Mundane Matt, Sargon, Total Biscuit and a few others were there and I remember Sargon saying Jontron might come. I knew he was tangentially on the side of Gaters, but didn't ever make a video about it or a grand declaration.

...

This should be stickied

Remove russia today, it has some decent content but it is hardly leftist.

How DARE you but up muke as a tankie? He is a libertarian lenninist.

I'd feel weird outright removing it because there is quite a lot of good content on there in their individual shows.

Maybe if enough new sources are listed we can have categories based on trust/quality of content.


Maybe we can make a snowflake section. Just fugging, I only used those categories, because they were ones he already listed. I'm open to changing them.

Jason unruhe is for pleb tier tankies

Egg daddy is great

Is Unruhe even really tankie? Third Worldists are pretty out there.

Maybe if I keep shitposting on leftist YouTube I'll get an honourary slot.

More proof v have shit taste

Muke here - go for it that would be awesome. Although what the fuck am I doing in the tankie group and not the Holla Forums one this triggeres me.

I should probably explain the thought process I used in dividing people into these groups as honestly it wasn't too clear from just looking. Basically I want to get more leftist youtubers in contact to talk about videos, collabs, and in general get to know eachother to give us a stronger community. When I made these groups I mainly made it in mind with what other youtubers each individual youtuber talks to already - this is why badmouse was in the SJW group and not the anarchist group. Tbf though he actually talks to people from almost all groups so it was hard to place him.

I wouldn't recommend sticking to what I've given in the original image for that reason and instead basing it on productive value, then ideology, rather than respective social circles like you've laid out in the OP. You don't have to ofc, this is just my suggestion.

Also seriously I'm not a fucking tankie what.

Holla Forums are unpleasable hipsters, this is hardly surprising.

Hey I've been thinking of making a leftist channel for sometime. I have a list of things I'm going to read before I ever end up making a channel so that I'm not retarded like Muke. I also have many topics I know that I want to cover. Does anyone have any recommendations and suggestions for how to go about this if I ever do it?

'libertarian' Leninism is a meme muke. Join us anarkiddies for real libertarianism

Muke can you please make up with Rebel?

Rebel is such a smug cunt, why would anybody want to make up with him?

I'm now a libertarian, Trot and Tankie all at the same time.

Feels good.


I think Rebel is probably the one that would need the most convincing there.

What are those topics?

Russia Today has got a lot of Pro-Soviet stuff as of late.

The comments on there videos are still full all Alt-Right cringe, but the content is getting kinda left leaning.

I've also though about making another leftytube channel. Thing is though we have no end of 'pundits' and people spouting dumbed down theory.I like what Marxist Media did, but I don't want to make a media analytics channel. I was think of making one about leftist history and leftist movements thought history, as well as looking at how a revolutionary war would be fought in the 21st century

I know about your secret vanguard party plans, don't lie.

I don't want to get too specific because they're topics people haven't looked into too much.

The worst kind of tankie, is a tankie in denial. Just disgusting. Goole Bookchin, goddamit!

wtf OP?

I honestly don't know who that is.

He's talking about Holla Forums's picture.

Wtf I'm a Trotzi with Hoppean characteristics now

Yeah, they have some lefty journos that work there and I've seen on Twitter. Probably mostly to spite America's centrist/right politics.

I don't necessarily object to putting RT on there as you could make a case for it, but it's still pretty weird to put unironic state media alongside independent journalism like the Intercept and Truthdig.

That list is a lie

Thanks for the clarification.

WHERE IS HE?
Oh, there he is.

i really really really really really really want to have sex with contrapoints

add lefty_user to the leftypol list. his vids are autistic but funny

youtube.com/watch?v=9FwQJXYTtQc&t=0s

Jon Doe is also britty gud if you`re interested in relevant news on the leftist movement in Japan&far east in general.

Thank you for putting me on the list

t. Marxist Media

Also I'm listening to the DP podcast and they're hating on Jimmy Dore right now lol. Apparently they hate him because he was talking shit about them when he was commenting on the Milo clip (without credit). Then again the DP guys are moneygrubbing assholes so yeah.

does xhe have nudes

They have a legitimate grievance about the Milo thing though. Everyone is reporting the story as if the clips have suddenly emerged when they've been publicly viewable for a year. They're also giving no credit to DP for the interview, which they would have to if it came from a bourgeois news outlet instead of some guys on youtube.

Hbomberguy was shilling his channel here (he denies it, but we know better) a few days back and I politely asked him for a three way with him and Contra, he prudishly replied with a "fuck off!" I don't hold it against him, but I think he missed the dream experience of a life time.

If it wasn't Hbomberguy then his fans have personalities strikingly similar to his.

Leftists who spend a majority of their time online and playing video games having similar personalities? On my Holla Forums? It's more likely than you think.

Is Hbomberguy even a leftist? I know he's anti-anti-SJW's of course, but is he like a Marxist or anything?

I'm offended at the implication my personality is like hbomberguy's


Pretty sure he is a leftist yeah, or at least as close as any SJWs get

I'd hatefuck hbomb's boypussy tbh
twitter.com/Hbomberguy/status/839920031974756352

That same user I think was really him supplied us with pic related.

The majority of the people in the countering reactionaries column are leftists by admission and not just well meaning liberals I mean socialist or beyond. Kristi Winters is the only one I'm unsure about, but she goes with the set and I didn't want to take her out of the packaging.

That's not really how personality works. Personality is shaped mostly by a person's early life not how they spend their time today, but ok fam.


He's among those people who would definitely say they're a leftist (in the sense that we mean leftist) but suspiciously tend to focus more on liberal talking points than leftist topics. I guess they think it's more revolutionary to tell other proles why their opinions are shit than to foster revolutionary sentiment.

...

Hasn't made content in a while. He's pretty dead tbh.

I was an ancap/nihilist youtuber with 4000 subs in 2007-10 and no one would remember my name today.

Shill your channel black flag user. I wish to hear the song of your people before this current empire of youtubers topples like ours did in the days of yore.

affirmative

youtube.com/kwamegenovv

Not bad kid.

Holla Forums goes back and forth on Sam Kriss, but I thought the first ep of Whale Vomit was pretty good, though Sam seems to have got his mic for free out of a cereal box.

An absolute coincidence that has nothing to do with the fact that capitalism thrives on reincorporating dissent back into safe, established, diversionary channels and makes it very profitable to do so.


I haven't heard a single good argument from him against the "anti-SJW" set, and he doesn't even seem to take it seriously himself. Even and especially his "cultural marxism" response. Rather than acknowledge very real problems within the nominal "left," trace their theoretical and historical origins, and assess what can be done about them in the service of revolution, he'd prefer to play the petulant, deflecting, delusional owner in some Gordon Ramsay reality show.

There were caps from his discord floating around too, with the stereotypical, natural conclusions of SJW ideas/behaviors biting him in the ass, in exactly the way you'd expect. He has to recognize it as absurd, but fuck me if he'll ever admit as much when he can just deflect like my dad does about the problems with his second marriage.

Is defending racism the hill you lot really want do on?

Huh?
Your post is a total non-sequitur.

Wait lol

Where's Yahtzee on the pic?
Did he quit?

Why do people refer to Xexizy as Muke? Where did the Muke part come from? Is that his real first name?

His real first name is Thomas

His real first name is Luke (confirmed in his faq, it's not thomas) and Muke is the name he uses on bunkerchan irc.

Because and muke is much easier to say/remember than xexizy.

Markiplier and jacksepticeye are not on this list…

Markiplier is near the top of the cancer section.

But that's just a theory
A GAME THEORY

Went up to the OP to see if Game Theory is in it's proper place. Glad to see it is.

...

I think of all the bad things mattpat did of which there are many, the fact that his shitty catch phrase continues the common misconception that a theory is as flimsy as a hypothesis while pretending to educate people about science is the worst thing.

His video on Star Trek and capitalism was a really close second though:

youtube.com/watch?v=P4KBPaS-1PU

i like every single video i watch regardless if i liked it.

and i did like that video, anarchopac is good.

It irks me because my dad did a thesis in game theory
Also his VOICE holy shit

Yeah, he got completely nuked with copyright strikes and gave up, didn't he?

I miss that guy. He was fun.

...

What happened to him? Fuck! I used to love his shit, but it really changed around and after Grumps.

It's a Holla Forums list, mang. Like, made by Holla Forums.

I love that Jontron, a reactionary shithead who runs in the same circles as white supremacists, was replaced by a Jewish man. I watched Game Grumps after Jon had already been kicked off the channel, but looking back at his era and then the Dan era, I still prefer Dan. He may not have the same energy as Jon, but I like his personality, he comes across as a genuine nice guy.

Don't be a "commulist"

He referenced the grundrisse so I say yes

Do you have a link to his youtube?

Disgusting

Here we go famrades. Feel free to change or add people.

...

...

How about adding some blogs or news sites in that extra space, preferably those that aren't full on regressive idpol.

I'd add Wes Cecil to the lsit of Academics, he did great criticism of modern ideology and made a good introduction to Stirner.
youtube.com/channel/UC9ff15w4ufviWfv9UfIuByA

Then there is also ´Gregory B Sadler who does a series about reading Hegel, who is the foundation of many marxists beliefs, among other things
youtube.com/user/gbisadler

Is /leftypol videos/ that Russian channel where Batko narrates the english dubs?

I've never been into blogs much so I wouldn't know what to put in, but if you can list some I'll paste them in.

I added both.


It's a channel that aggregates all of leftypols stuff.
youtube.com/channel/UCSm1_XO-zvR0ToSJYMljmPA

Revolutionary Student's Union

youtube.com/user/RevStudentsUnion/videos

they have some introductory theory videos.

these are their older videos youtube.com/user/UVURSU/videos

wtf replacing imperialist American media with imperialist Russian media isn't any better

Put them in thanks.

put teleSUR English on news
youtube.com/user/telesurenglish/videos
they update constantly

perseus999
youtube.com/user/Perseus999/videos
greek anarkiddie, happenings from greece, riot porn etc
unfortunately not always in english
i'm not sure if this should be on the list though, since it's too localised

You actually have a pretty good voice for this type of thing (unlike a lot of these people). Keep making content

Did it, thanks.

...

Oh nah say what you really mean

Enaa has a lot of talks about lefty theory.
lefty audiobooks are also nice if you don't have the energy for reading but spend a lot of time alone. but those channels are pretty easy to find generally.
tbh I wouldn't trust most of those "academic channels." I hate how prominent dick wolff has become on the internet left and I've heard Harvey's talks on Capital are unreliable (doc related). Really the most important thing is to go to the original sources. The educational channels are often unreliable here.

Do you have a link to that?

Is wsws.org a valid news source? It's run by Trots.

Absolutely

You have to take it with a sizable grain of salt or two much of the time but by and large it's perfectly valid.

Added

What on earth is rebel doing in the 'leftist youtubers' section?

He said on Reddit he's an Anarchist

What category would you put him in?

None.

I don't personally like him much either, but if he wasn't on there somewhere I think more people would be asking why than, the minor negative he brings.

But he's not a leftist.

Pick one and one only pulling faces and screaming every once in a while isn't funny it's shit

If I might suggest this pill instead of the Soviet one.

He's a leftist

Is this a joke?


They're literally never wrong though. Their main limitation as I see it is an overly academic tone and reluctance to make spectacular or bombastic claims that can't be rigorously supported, and therefore it can get a little predictable. Far as actual reporting on current events, though, it's pretty much wall-to-wall.
They've got a good 50k daily readers, which falls behind Jacobin, but they've got a lot more consistency and quality control. I'd probably put the two next to each other, at least above the non-socialist, state-owned or corporate media.

don't mind me just shilling my channel sup comrades

Added

I wish contrapoints was a comrade, instead they are some kind of Milk-toast Social Democrat when you ask them about their ideology, bleh

He's on the list because he's well read and good at countering reactionary viewpoints. He's not the person I would go to for more in depth theory but he's good for disputing common right wing narratives in a rational way.

Well yeah, anything right now to counter the reactionary shit hole that is the mainstream youtube community. They are just soo close to being perfect that its just a shame the aren't a radical.

We all want to fuck contrapoints.

More podcasts:

Black Agenda Radio, Prison Radio, From Alpha to Omega and Economic Update

You can just say he, he's not trans or anything. He just crossdresses for fun and to trigger right wingers.

I use they pronouns on pretty much everyone at this point, I am very entrenched in the transgender community, and its just a useful default pronoun.

why, does my use of "they" trigger you?

…no? I'm just clearing up a misconception I thought you had. Carry on.

Any of you know why Pierre trudank is called Clancy sometimes

This. "Muke" is a clever reference to his birthplace, Mukington-on-Thamesbury

Added


We will fuck his ass red if not his mind.

...

Just add an "autism" section to the chart.

yo this is the first time i've ever come on this forum! i'm a marxist and have a youtube channel: "Jolly Communist"

You look like Jontron with long hair.

hahahaha thanks. as i went on in the channel before i took a break a month ago i kept putting on more and more weight

Welcome, comrade. This chart was born out of the wish of the left youtuber Xexizy, known as Muke around here, to create more connections between left youtubers. The right wing anti-SJW crowd is well connected, leading to more exposure. To counter this, we should grow more connected as well. I hope you can become friends with some of the people we have listed here.

The original image made by Muke looked like this. Keep in mind that a lot of the Holla Forums channels are just making short joke videos, Muke is one of the few that actually look at things in depth at the moment.

Why the fuck do you have Russia Today on a leftist list?

They're fash enablers.

wew

why is this Holla Forums chart full of idpol peddling morons

Jahans needs to be on here too.

The End of History™ has reduced the ""left"" to a pantomime within the current order.

Well, we already have a proposed autistic section.

I really don't see how anyone could think Jim Profit wasn't right after the /r/socialism catgirl crisis.

We were promised so much.

my same thoughts to, RT is Putin's personal pet news project

Add Srsly Wrong to the podcast section.

Added

Could you add FreiheitXXI? It's the best channel for Bookchin videos.
youtube.com/user/FreiheitXXI

Added and since enough people complained I moved Russia Today out of the news section.

Does anyone know some good European news websites? These are all very (except for TeleSUR) US-centered

Morning Star?

Please remove russia today from source, russian flavored propaganda isn't better than american flavored.


Le monde diplomatique, my friend.

mondediplo.com/

Nice chart but what are the things in the fun stuff section and are there any more we can add?

Weird question, but does anyone actually like Shaun and Jen? I see a lot of people always refernce them, but I have listened to them and find it insanely boring. Maybe I have only watched poor episodes?

I like them. They aren't as entertaining as some other channels but they really do their research and rip right wing bullshit apart.
Their older episodes are often focussed on stupid shit but their recent stuff can be really good. I highly recommend Outrage News, them tearing apart Breitbart and it's buddies: youtube.com/watch?v=r9qiCN7CcB8&t=4s

I think you should subscribe to them for what they will produce in the future, not for their videos shitting on some cinema youtube channel. If you don't like Outrage News, which is their best video imo, the channel isn't for you.

He gives out a lot of info, I really like his channel but I can only speak for his political stuff, not the lets plays he started with.

As a side note I don't like lets plays or a "group of guys speak while game footage is playing channels."


The first two in fun stuff are essentially music channels with a soviet/commie theme. I put Russia today there to indicate it's more for it's opinion shows than it's straight news which no one seems to like here. Basically emphasizing it's entertainment value.

I like all the channels we have collected but I'd change the layout. It feels a little overwhelming with some of the lists having so many entries, it should be more nuanced.
Let me make some suggestions:

The Holla Forums list has a high amount of memelords. While I like those kinds of channels, they are very much different to more serious stuff like Muke.
I'd make one section for Holla Forums affiliates and just make another charts called memers.
The leftists youtubers can and should be separated by ideology. Maybe you should cut it up into Communists, Anarchists, Tankies and Other, with other including people like Rebel who changes his position every 10 minutes and unironically liked Stirner at some point. I'm unsure about making tankies a separate category but communism and anarchism definitely should be split.

The Academics section deserves some more elaboration, it should be split into economics and philosophy halves, they overlap but can generally be differentiated. Richard Wolf and Wes Cecil are very different people.

As for the anti reactionaries, they could stay like that.
Lastly, I'd rename Fun Stuff to Miscellaneous so it can have more stuff.

absolute trash tier, delet this

...

also no KKE and their 902 media

I'll make the split changes you suggested in the first two paragraphs of your post.

I'll change fun stuff and academics later if we get more of those.


Can you link me to ML? Proletarian TV is already on the chart, but I'll add the rest.

How about make a section about counter-propaganda and add Russia Today and Al-Jazeera?

A little odd to have it as "wsws.org" instead of "World Socialist Web Site" when every other publication is called by its name

I'll make the change.

Tons of shit changed.

10/10

Added that.

good job, user !

Fixed :^)

I can't quite tell what change you made. I'll have to study the source material for quite a while.

Not sure where i'd put them but there is EoTDeutschland that is uploading videos in english on Donbass with Russell Bentley.

There's also SouthFront delivering regular updates on Syrias military situation, but they're apparently right wing libertarians or host guest videos of such, no focus on that though.

Oh, and how could i've forgotten:
stimmekoreas
Delivering DPRK news.

added

Yeah I was disappointed and a little surprised to learn his political beliefs.

Good stuff, I appreciate your work, comrade

I'm not sure if these fit. Qualia Soup and and Theramin Trees are philosophers that concentrate on religious criticism. They are much more intellectual than your average youtube atheist and make great videos about indoctrination in general. Their output is low and they only really work with each other though.

youtube.com/channel/UCc_xdkOBgSYLmXTn-VSQ4uA

youtube.com/channel/UCJ-vHE5CrGaL_ITEg-n3OeA

I'd like to see them in the Philosophers list but it's your decision.

In a past lifetime I was once in a Theramin Trees video. (Don't look for it, it's gone lel.)

I'll add them and hopefully when we get more academic sources/orgs we can split off the lefty ones from the general knowledge people like them and Wes.

What did you do together with him? I never heard of anyone even acknowledging these channels, let alone collaborating with them. Also, why was the video deleted?

Also, if you want some more general knowledge, why not add Yale courses to that, they have a ton of lectures on all kinds of things uploaded.
youtube.com/channel/UC4EY_qnSeAP1xGsh61eOoJA

Theramin used to be part of the atheist community when it was really big around the dawn of youtube to about 2010. Somewhere in that time he asked me to do a small segment where atheists take one common complaint that comes up a lot and answer it for them. I chose a segment and he put me in. I also played video tag with him a few times on in terms of those "shoutout a youtuber to answer these question or to shoutout other youtubers etc." I'm not sure if people still do that on Youtube. I talked to him only a few times behind the scenes, but he was really nice.

I think he deleted most of his community oriented videos when he became more professional in his presentation, although his videos were always more high quality than most.

My story contained in a nutshell here earlier in the thread:


added.

Congratulations on finding your way here, comrade.

I have one more addition for the fun stuff category, LibriVox. It's a project to create audiobooks of public domain books and they have tons of philosophy books as well as a bunch of other good shit there. Youtube channels like to steal their content and collect ad revenue so I'll just link you the source of all the good stuff.
librivox.org/

You could also add In our Time to the podcast list, it's a program by the BBC that covers all kinds of things from science to philosophy.
bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/598SVYJ2smP8qJlpH29y7Vj/podcasts

MIT also has an open courses program and while it might be less expansive than that of Yale, there is still good stuff to be found there.
ocw.mit.edu/courses/audio-video-courses/

Maybe write the entry like this
LibriVox (giant audiobook repository)
so people can distinguish it from the music channels better.

MIT OCW is also a pretty good collection. Open courseware in general can be pretty useful, and it has a distinct "knowledge and education are human rights" ethos about it, even though it's technically more a form of charity and doesn't give people any credentials for work in the capitalist world. But you can see it as a "transitional program" of sorts to point people towards the potential of a post-capitalist society and question the outrageous expense of "an education" under capitalism in places like the US.

sci-hub.cc (URL likely subject to change) is excellent for getting around journal paywalls and bringing academic research to the people. It questions the intellectual property laws endemic to capitalism in a similar way.


"Yale courses" kind of sounds like it's saying "go to Yale" though, you might want to make it "Yale Open Courses."

Yeah, I like that they do this for people, my german uni also uploads a lot.
Chart user, I suggest you rename fun stuff to Miscellaneous so we can add stuff like scihub to it. If you want, you can keep the fun stuff name but add it still please. Make sure to include the "url subject to change", the site gets taken down constantly.

Oh, also, if we are allowing general informants on the list, we must have CGP Grey, he isn't gommie but does a good job in pointing out how flawed the political system is and how automation will fuck people.

I remember vaguely fucking almost a decade ago following Qualia and Theramin, and being perplexed when one of them shared an anti-taxation video.

god that was a different time.

Yeah, the entire internet seemed to belong to the atheists and the ideologies that latched onto their back.


Add the russian leftypol channel to the memers list, they do funny cartoons.
youtube.com/channel/UCCe_fTqstaz8axIBScs8_Hg

I might be getting too far off topic so feel free to reject these if they don't fit.

Retro Report is a show about past social struggles. Gives a historical perspective on various events in recent history, pretty idpol though.
youtube.com/channel/UCBh_GM0xQZQRKSU0ZiVbqdg

Wendover Productions did some economics videos like how economies of scale function. He does a little of everything.
youtube.com/channel/UC9RM-iSvTu1uPJb8X5yp3EQ

I added most of it and made some other changes

You made a little mistake there fam

...

You might as well consider Marx a celebrity if you'll extend your definition that wide, we are listing these people so we can more easily learn.

In case you missed it, you accidentally put part of the old list over the heading.

I'll have to fix it later kek. Just walked out the door.

19th century e-celebs though

Alright I fixed my dumb mistake.

Stirner would seize all the memes for himself were he alive to see them being exchanged between other young Hegelian's.

Stirner would be an egg account that only got recognized because Marx quote tweeted him.

Marx would also be nonstop posting.

Don't you mean Engels, when he's having his "episodes"?

i'm not sure if these should be added

Liberation News
the media of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (US)
mostly lectures, party propaganda and some idpol

Media Alien
french youtube account, documentaries with english subs although it might be dead (last update 5 months ago)

Street Politics
demonstrations in france unfortunately no subs


Jean-Luc Mélenchon the french politician has a very popular youtube channel that i have seen been discussed here many times
however i haven't seen much in english, however i found this
youtube.com/channel/UCmEylv0W0nuoueXsnZqeRUg/about
an unofficial channel aiming to translate his videos

Someone should remove Badmouse from the anti-reactionaries.

I don't get why was he put among them in the first place.

He was probably put there because Muke put him into the SJW area of his chart, he really belongs in the Leftist Mix category.

Isn't he a smashie?

I'm not sure to be honest. He was an ancap once and he might be an ancom now, going by his latest video.
I think we'd be on the safe side if we just put him into Mix.

he should be put into a "terrible at debate" category

Found this channel with Marxist lectures. Might be of interest to comrades

youtube.com/user/dwgthed/videos

Please add under Academic.

European Graduate School lectures. Huge collection, includes Zizek, Badiou, and others

youtube.com/user/egsvideo

Added and moved BM

where's sceneable

Hanging himself because of Alex Jones.

He is an undercover KGB spy, I'll put him in fun stuff later if other people get suggested.

If Sceneable is being put in fun stuff, so should jason unruhe

He would have to be fun in order for that to be the case, rather than the thing I hope not to see when my persona comes out and starts attacking people.

Can we add stupid liberal stuff to the fun list? I personally like Mr [current year].
If not, maybe you could give us some examples for what counts as fun so we can make that list a little more full.

Any ideas for the extra space yet? If I'm allowed to make suggestions, it could be:

Liberals that don't suck 100%
Leftist written media like bunkermag
Some leftist media like movies, shows, chinese cartoons, vidya (this might work better as it's own chart)
Leftists image repositories like that one booru we have (could also be put into fun stuff since it's not a long list)

I nominate Bill Maher, germ theory denialist who thinks evolved plants cause cancer and rants about "the toxins" while occasionally making good points

I don't watch John Oliver but I do watch a lot of liberals/bernie and Corbyn-crats to keep up on US/UK shit. I wouldn't personally have a problem but I think the reaction of most people here would be "WHYTHEFUCK IS X ON THE LIST!"

Maybe that could be it's own side list. Speaking of I think the anime/shows/games side list is a good idea. A few movie charts already exist though.

With leftbooru and bunkermag thing one user suggest making the free space blogs, which we could add that too, but I don't know enough blogs/written media aside from news to fill the space on my own.

Another user in another thread gave me a few leftist media sites but I haven't read deeply into them, they might be shit. Would be good if we had someone familiar with this helping us out here.

Anyway, here is the list:
insurgentnotes.com/
transform-network.net/home.html
en.internationalism.org/
troploin.fr/
internationalmarxisthumanist.org/
riserevolt.org/
poverties.org/
marxmyths.org/index.php
rationalwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page (I know this one and it's pretty liberal/SJW, might not be a good addition).

As for liberals, I see your point, people would get mad whenever anyone posted the chart. If you put them in at all, put them in a side chart and make pic related the background.

I added all that and made some other small changes also I made this proto form of that potential lib chart.

I strongly recommend thecharnelhouse.org

I'd change grain to spoon here, liberals can be entertaining but they like to obscure stuff or just get things wrong completely.

Anyway, here is some stuff I sometimes watch:

Last Week Tonight
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Adam ruins Everything (liberal points out places where capitalists, tradition and the system fucks us over without realizing those things are at fault)
inFact with Brian Dunning (anti conspiracy theorist but defends corporations)

Done.

I added them and a bunch of other liberal channels I know, I also thought this could be the trash list for a bunch of dubious news sources, next time I update the other list I'll take RT off that one since we made this instead.

Are you going to merge that list with the main one? I don't think many people would repost it if it's just this strip. Just tack it on to the right of the podcasts, the labelling is already explicit so people shouldn't complain.

...

What part about "don't trust what these people tell you" did you miss?

Jontron isn't really leftist approved anymore, he kinda changed around election time to be more reactionary and idpol, shame really.

I'll leave it as is, but other people can merge them if they want


I think a leftypol'ster should make a channel called The Anti-Humanist Report.

Why are you talking about Jontron?

it's a lefty youtuber chart and hes one of the people in it, the one in the OP image

The OP image isn't Holla Forums, it's Holla Forums.

No

nevermind, I'm just retarded

Jontron has always been pretty reactionary. Just when he was on Game Grumps they tried to tone him down.

I got the image in my head of Jon yelling racial slurs at a game and the rest of the people their going silent.

There* end me.

shit list.

Let's add that to the fun stuff list.
I assume it's a backup board like smugloli for /a/ in case we need to flee this place. Is that right?

That's actually pretty accurate. From what I understand they had to edit slurs out a lot during the Jon era.

I like his comedy but he seems to be a pretty huge cunt.
I heard excerpts from that Sargon stream, he seems to believe in "Cultural Marxism", he said that it has to be real because the Frankfurt School also was.

Seeing the unedited version sounds a million times more entertaining than the real one. I want a drunk Jon yelling slurs and making inappropriate jokes to Arin's wife.


Added just for you fam. Love me please.

He streams all the fucking time.

Nah.

He streamed yesterday though.

Hey, that Flea market socialist fellow just posted a video just a few minutes ago:

youtube.com/watch?v=QJqGdEMhkU8

What's that about, amirite?


PS Thx for having me on the list

Is this 8/v/? because I remember shitposting in TBFP husbando threads on 4/v/ all the time

Pretty sure Rebel is the one who made that all cold

yeah, fuck that list is all sorts of bullshit. tbfp are the only youtubers I actually want to watch on a daily basis.

you know what, this is the final straw. I'm unsubscribing from superbunnyhop.

PSA:
We really should be uploading all our videos under the copyleft license. It aligns with our ==I D E O L O G Y==

No problem.

Well thank you for letting me know about that.
I was not even aware that you-tube allowed me to list my videos under creative commons.

I haven't been playing much vidya recently and after not watching their content for some time, I went on an unsubscribe spree. Also removed some edgy humour channels I hadn't been enjoying much anymore like Filthy Frank.
Having a few slow content producers is better than having 10 videos every day. I'm unsure if I want to keep my Jimmy Dore subscription for that reason, he puts out too much and buries my feed.

Headlines go in
new lines.

I wish Jimmy "Arm the Poor" Dore would just upload his show in a single hour long block.

Do we have anything left to add or are we done now?
I think we did a pretty good job, chart might need some refining at some later point but for now it's pretty good.

Merged the images

Good to know thanks

Yeah, it's an extra step but I think it's an important one for the idea of content creation in a leftist community

==I D E O L O G I C A L Y=

God damn it, fucked it up

Blast it with piss

...

DELET THIS

Do you have a reason why we shouldn't use both in one image?
Chart user made clear in the heading that these channels aren't that trustworthy but they can be entertaining and sometimes have a point. I could understand getting mad if we added people like Sargon of Akkad for some reason but I don't see why you can't critically enjoy something like [current year] man.

Should there be a section about hard science related stuff or is it only political related topics?

We already have a few science channels on there but I think this is enough. Science channels have a tendency to be sensationalist and badly researched anyway, we probably have the best one with CGP Grey already.

I KNEW something was missing.

Kek

But honestly, since the merged version has some more space at the bottom, do we have anything we can put there?
I don't mind leaving it blank but we could have something else.

I just realized we forgot to put politicalideologycatgirls.com/ in the funs tuff section. Oy Eco user, come back, my editing skills suck and I can't get the writing to look right.

Short list of documentaries in text?

The problem is that that could be a huge list, so putting it in a bottom corner wouldn't do it justice. I also have little knowledge on documentaries, so I wouldn't be much help there.
I think we'll just leave it blank, no need to force it. Chart should be as complete as it gets when we add the political catgirls. The only major issue is that the written media is mostly stuff some random user gave me, that might need revision at a later point.

He does do a podcast as indicated which is the full show.


Added

Thank you for maintaining both versions, I'll keep a copy of the most recent of each and use them for spoonfeeding purposes depending on the audience.

Can we consider these finished now? I think we've got most of the good stuff.

Can we have a gulag section?

but he's /ourguy/
youtube.com/watch?v=Notlk5KOU4c

I added a few more to both, but yeah I cant think of much more to put on there. I also deleted older versions of the chart so people don't take the wrong ones.

You did a great job. Let's call this quits now, delete these and spread the charts to whomever they might concern.

I find some of his videos funny but his latest content has often been offensive just for the sake of being offensive instead of funny. That Pimp my Wheelchair video was garbage and I hope that the guy was just playing instead of actually getting pushed around by Frank, it just felt like bullying. I might check back from time to time but that's all.

...

In case you are the vidya guy, play Recettear.

I am, it's on my list, but I've got 50 billion games to go through

Got writers block on DR right now, trying to write something profound about PTSD in 'Nam

I was going to say the same thing. Also do overwatch.

Lol maybe at some point. I think Dead Rising is already getting close to reaching, there has to be some meat there for me to talk about. Then again I don't know the plot of Overwatch so yeah.

Make a quick one on how counterstrike is an illustration of how war is ongoing and never ends and how if you run while holding a knife you run faster. Marx's theory of cutlery acceleration.

I don't think anyone really does.

Does anyone care about Overwatch aside from the porn?

I put you in serious stuff since you're doing reviews, giving out actual info rather than just making joke videos/meme stuff.

It's kinda fun but also kind of shit in the same way all mobas are

just got diamond, overwatch is making me like fps

Thanks m8. I'm actually flattered by that.

I've made some good progress tonight on the script for the next part of the DR video, so expect it soon-ish.

take youngturks off

Thinking about starting a channel where I discuss Socialism as it relates to Jews, so early movements like the General Jewish Labour Bund, Bundism, kibbutz myth, anti-Zionism and such. Primarily hoping to reach out and get some Jews to get their heads out of their asses about Zionism and nationalism. Would that content be interesting or do you think it's too narrow?

too extreme

>The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood.
>Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.

Sounds good you cant talk about Chomsky's long history with Israel.

Actually pretty good idea
It will inevitably cause a massive Holla Forums glorious uprising too

well it is shitty. oh well.

What is your channel?

share that shit idiot! We're here for you.

But I hope you have read some books. If not then study please, that way you will be better prepared for anything really.

Now, don't get me wrong, I hate A.W. as much as any other guy here, but his blog The Empyrean Trail is very good for explaining dialectics
