"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Is that James Rolfe? How did he contribute to the pipeline? I just watch his game reviews.

The AVGN lied about the 2016 (iirc) Ghostbusters movie. He used very chudlike arguments and basically cried about PC/woke whatever bc it wasn't the movie he wanted and he refused to review. He also participated on Chud gaming events and has a bunch of chud friends.

Damn really :/ I was a huge fan when I was a teenager and even some of the older seasons crack me up, despite the problematic 2000s-era jokes

I think James is a lib but with some reactionary brainworms. His friend Mike Matei had a bunch of chud shit and even a racist comic he made back in the 2000s. I haven't check any AVGN stuff after the Earthbound videos so idk how he's doing nowadays.

Doug Walker meanwhile seems like a lib too, I think he voted for Bernie in 2016. He seems to really dislike that Trump used his doug-point-cry meme on a racist anti-immigrant post.
