Brian Berletic […] is a current antivax and climate change skeptic
Which invalidates his analysis on topics which relate to health and climate, but it doesn’t heavily impact the validity of his geopolitical analysis on this particular subject. Or is there anything about the analysis in this particular video that you disagree with or you think is tainted by the source’s views on climate change and vaccines and would like to discuss?
I appreciate you doing the research and pointing out his reactionary views and dubious history. It’s good to be aware of the biases of the media we consume, but we don’t need to be afraid of drawing from varied sources as long as we can gain something useful from them. When it comes to reactionary sources we just have to be extra skeptical and careful to identify where that reactionary bias possibly skews their analysis.
Critical media literacy is an essential skill to have, especially for a communist. We will never be able to completely insulate ourselves from content that is not aligned with our views, nor should we. We need to be able to distinguish good analysis from bad, factual information from disinformation, and understand how a source’s ideological orientation affects the quality of their commentary on a topic by topic basis.
In my experience Lemmygrad has a very high degree of political literacy and maturity, and i trust that no one here will suddenly do a complete 180 in their ideological viewpoint merely by coming into contact with reactionary sources - we are not that fragile - and that most people here know how to identify and discard problematic content in a piece of media.
