Post the names of youtubers and other internet microcelebs you love with a burning passion based on more than vibes. Very preferably not large.
A good example is Cathode Ray Dude, who makes long videos on older technology. He doesn’t seem to have done anything reactionary, he’s got a personality far beyond “the algorithm”, and he doesn’t associate with any terrible people. And I enjoy his videos.
Either they’re Marxists or PhD level trained historians. The field pretty much agrees that the base premises of historical materialism are the right tools for analysis.
A similar internet person who does much more overt commie ancient history analysis is Patrick Wyman, and his Tides of History podcast.
At 4:55 in their Roman Afterlives video, it really sounds like they make a Marx reference. “a way to interpret the world in various ways, their point however is to help us change it” vs “The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it."
Big fan of her. Some videos are rich people wankery, but a lot of them are forward-thinking examples of ecologically sound housing and/or cool community building projects.
yeah, not all of them are hits but eg the one about the italian immigrant guy who excavated a series of caves and underground courtyards in the desert? or the two videos about houses built inside greenhouses? hell yeah
This one about the semi-indoor village is my favorite: https://youtu.be/EzKSKqjEmDA
