But he will occasionally say/do shit that upsets me as a ML, still I’d recommend him over many others to any liberal friends as a Primer into more Leftist/Marxist content.
That makes it even worse. It means he knows what he is doing and yet still chooses to peddle liberal propaganda to his considerable audience.
