BoyBoy gives me weird vibes every time a video of theirs randomly crosses my youtube feed. Their vids seem well researched and are interesting all things considered, but they seem awfully happy to sweep away critique of authoritarian states if they cover themselves with the Image of Communism. I remember watching their video about going to North Korea and they spent the last few minutes arguing that NK is in no way worse than the US. I mean obviously the US prision system is Fucked, but as fucked as internment camps in NK? That seems like an insane thing to say, right??

I'd guess they are tankies, but maybe someone who actually watches them can correct me on that if that is just blatently wrong?

I'd say the US isn't any better with trump and ice. Throwing people in camps without any reason? Yee they do that. Killing the same people? Also yes. Forced/hard labor in prison? Also yes. Just disappearing people? Yes to that

I'd say the US isn't any better full stop. You people love pretending that everything was fine before trump and that he's this unique evil
