Another banger video. I know The New Atlas isn’t exactly politically aligned with us (sadly he’s not a communist), but i really do appreciate how professional and how well sourced his content is. It makes for great educational and propaganda material when confronting liberals. In that context the fact that he uses almost exclusively Western sources (usually not something i appreciate) becomes quite handy, it makes the arguments much harder to dismiss.
Yeah, it’s hard to find any media sources that are completely aligned with ML so I don’t really worry about it. Considering the wash of repulsive media we all have to weed through to get fragments of truth or track the movements of empire, Beleric is a ray of sunlight. I don’t expect to agree on a lot of issues with most people I read, watch or listen to, but I’m not going to break ranks on anti-imperialism.
I agree with what you’re saying about the paradox of media credibility, too. In my opinion, the empire narrative exists within a bubble of superficial awareness and short political memory. People who are overworked have no free time to live their life, let alone escape the gravity of capital influence on the shaping of opinion and world view. Exposing the violent contradictions of the empire’s own media often does more to shake narrative credibility, than providing outside sources which westerners have been manipulated into outright dismissing. Sometimes, just creating a larger continuity or scratching into the details within that context is all it takes.
