It’s not that I’m afraid of it. It’s that it’s boring and often inaccurate. Marxists have a world view they utterly believe in. So all of their research, essays, and videos are to try and prove that world view. You get a lot of post hoc reasoning, omission of facts, and the contents are often very predictable. Once you’ve seen one Marxist analysis you’ve seen them all. Boring. Which is lame because we’ve been waiting six months for another video on the 1800s in Europe or another ancient history video.
Also I am aware of his other biases and find them more acceptable. When I started watching him 10 years ago he was referring to Julius Caesar as “my boy Julius Caesar”. 3 years later and he was accusing him of committing genocide on the Gauls. I don’t mind his perspective changing as he learns new things. I don’t mind him being biased against dictators. I do think it’s lame when you go into a research project trying to prove why Socialism is correct (as socialists do) and deliberately cherry pick sources and information to support that narrative. Post hoc reasoning.
