  • Just about all people who migrate from socialist countries to capitalist one do so for economic reasons not ideological ones, this is self evident in that its very rare for one to migrate to a capitalist global south country.

    All (successful) revolution so far have happened in global south/backwards/periphery countries so in many cases while socialism raised living standard of all working people, its still better to live in the imperial core for some people, so reality is that in cases like Cuba and Venezuela they arent fleeing communism they are fleeing the legacy of colonialism or they are fleeing the sanctions imposed on socialist countries (which is an attempt to re establish a colonial relation so kinda the same). Or in the case of the no longer existing socialist countries in eastern Europe its a little different people were fleeing lesser development rather than colonialism. And in both cases they were participating in brain drain which is also a pretty big driver.



  • is he still tho? i dont follow him anymore cuz his stuff is kinda boring in the editing but i do watch some of his videos every once in a while and he completely dropped that stuff same for the dunking on creationist stuff and just stuck to the science stuff which was always the most interesting anyways. hard to know if his politics have changed but i would guess most of his audience now doesnt even know he used to be part of gamergate (despite seemingly not being a gamer???) cuz he dosnt let it thru at all from what i can see.
