    I was going to make the joke of “omg jay tee is bourzhgeysee??!?1?”

    I am disappointed to see not only that that comment has already been written, but it has been made without a single drop of irony.

    Ah, so JT is petit-bourgeois? While I was reading that I couldn’t help but have the idea for one of those TikTok style videos where an AI JT voice reads that message while the Soviet Union anthem grows louder and louder. Maybe it could feature a happy picture of him in front of a drab concrete wall which shakes more and more intensely as the audio goes on and the image is slowly eclipsed by the USSR flag.

    [tone indicator: this is a joke]

    I’ll never understand “communists” that start private capitalist companies. Seriously, why not put their money where their mouth is and start a coop? It makes no sense to me for JT to do everything he does just to end up a capitalist lmao

      As long as proletarian interests are being upheld and pushed forward - we’re fine with it. JT’s channel is useful for the movement, and this is something I can attest to myself - I, for instance, got radicalized at least partly because I stumbled upon his content. We need more comrades, we need more cadres, we really need the movement to grow - thus, we can critically support JT’s work.
