I'm here yet again to remind people that Brian Berletic is a far right source.

I'll not even defending the Nepal protests. But it can't be hard to find a source that isn't a chud if it's legit.

If I had to count the amount of times Lemmygraders decided to follow Brian Berletic more than they should

I would count two times

One, regarding Philippines, recently

baffled_and_aghast decided to indicate it was in our interests to critically support pro-US Bongbong Marcos, out of mere idealism and contrarianism to potential color revolution from left libs like Leni Robredo (they suck too but I don't see a meaningful difference between her and Bongbong Marcos who's practically liberal) and just NGOs like Tindig

Two, and I think you remember, regarding Cambodia-Thailand

Comprehensive49 was trying to argue that Cambodia was pro-US because their economy was dependent on exports to US (never mind China doing the same)

What you're saying sounds reasonable. I have to be fair and admit that I don't know anything about the Philippines nor the Thai-Cambodia conflict. I just wish that Berletic had the same humility, there's no way that he has enough depth of knowledge to judge so many countries' political turmoil so succinctly. Everything he does seems to come from Google searches.

Unfortunately "multipolarity" grifters are pretty easy, they get to benefit from US incompetence and generaly just being far easier to just say "evil thing = US conspiracy" and get a lot of people excited. As you well note you don't even have to be a leftist at all because its just far easier to just agree with the message and ignore the source, specialy if the message is particularly comforting and what we want to hear.

I used to follow these people much more closely years ago, what they were saying about Russia-Ukraine was correct but that quickly became problematic when you see where their real interests line. All those pro-Russia chuds who jerk off to "multipolarity" which is realy just Russian chauvinism and nationalism. Where was a communist ever supposed to believe in this shit? The cold war was literaly about ONE polarity i.e the communist complete liberation of the working class worldwide under one cause NOT these sub-imperialist fascists dividing up the world into their own backyard as the US loses influence.

But again, in that context, just hearing US BAD and this is the only hope because anti-US equals good no matter what can be comfortable at first. But ultimately personally I definitely realized they have absolutely no skin in this game because Palestine was the litmus test and just saying US bad while jerking off to multipollarity shit(e.g BRICS grifters) doesn't actually help anyone.

As someone who used to give a lot more credit to these slime fucks, I just think unless they were out there demanding Russia and China actualy do something after Oct 7th and throughout 2024 they can go fuck themselves with their multipolarity shit, yeah go write a substack about how Russia and China are just following the great master plan and how this is day 126417th of the continued US defeat towards multipolarity(basicaly every Mercouris video lol) while jerking off how Great Russia got it so good right now.
