Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

I’ve been on a bit of a video essay binge as of late, and most of the good shit has been from Britain, whereas American content creators are mostly reactionary.

What gives?

The British Overton window includes a bit of the left so I would expect the average Brit to be better than the average American, that being said you just might not have seen the American ones, some I recommend:

InRangeTV- pretty much the one non-chud gun channel, if you don't want to see gun stuff he does have a couple of history videos (about labour/indigenous revolts)

Atun-Shei Films- history and short film guy, Checkmate Lincolnites! is a must watch series

Some more news- weekly single issue story, format got aped ~~by~~ from John Oliver

Adam Connover/Adam Ruins Everything- I am less familiar with his YouTube output but "Adam Ruins Everything", started as a webseries on college humor (now dropout) and got picked up as a TV show

College Humor/Dropout TV- it really started with Adams stint but the leftist outlook never really left, less long form essay and more general entertainment

Others I forgot:

Lindsey Ellis- early breadtuber, focuses on movies

Todd in the Shadows- music review channel, largely avoids politics but the few times he's gotten political it's been on the left

Behind the Bastards- podcast and short dive on historical figures focusing on their background before prominence

Second Thought- this might be the person you're looking for, also has two collab projects with Hakim and YUGOPNIK- The Deprogram Podcast and First Thought
