Never support Second Thought. If you wanna learn about monetary theory and marxism go watch Unlearning Economics.

davetapley OP ,

Why “never support”?

Franzia ,

He’s a crypto tankie like he genuinely supports bonkers evil regimes and has anti-democratic beliefs but hides it in his main channel videos.

davetapley OP ,

Dare I ask where he is hiding this, and what bonkers evil regimes you are referring to?

It is being claimed that JT, the creator of ST, supports Putin, due to JT’s view that the US and other NATO-aligned states militarily supporting Ukraine broadly serves to exacerbate the same trajectory of geopolitical tension that has helped enable Putin’s aggression.

JT has called for NATO weakening ties with Ukraine, and reversing its course of expansion, as part of a process for seeking stronger diplomacy between the West and Russia.

I believe he regards such a strategy as best supporting the long term interests of mitigating the incidence of armed conflict and gaining power for the working class internationally.

He has also criticized Ukrainian elites as prioritizing their own class interests aligned with foreign oligarchs, above the broader interests of the working class in Ukraine and elsewhere.

Much of JT’s rhetoric and many of his connections are ML, which has not helped him reach common ground with many outside such circles.

He advertises his other channels within his segments on ST.

If he is trying to keep them hidden, then his strategy is extremely ill conceived.
