    Imagine looking at a video where he explicitly states leftists have no desire to rule by violence, and repeating the tired comment that he’s a tankie.

      I firmly believe he can “hide his power level” or share a different level of radical views based on the topic or the platform he’s on.

      The Deprogram’s most recent response to being called tankies? They made a whole episode about it where they said “Tankie is an overused term, and everyone who calls us tankies is a liberal” 😂

      He’s shared more explicit support of the USSR and other genocidal and evil failed experiments in governance that happened to call themselves left-wing, and while in his main channel he won’t talk about it, he’s also never refuted or talked about a change in his views. He believes that shit, he just wants to capture viewers into his sphere before he lets them know.
