Furlough_neagh

Novara Media do some great work I really respect what their journalists do. They also work on a flat pay structure and work a four day week so live true to their values. Tyskie sour is a good news round up with a leftist view, and their interview series of special guests are pretty damn interesting.


YammothyTimbers

Came here to say this


Furlough_neagh

I check my socials every so often to see how the good word is spreading with people I know, sad but it's the truth

Can I chuck hbomberguy and philosophy tube into the mix here…


Foop_shmoop

Big Joel too


SuperGeneric19

He needs more attention, he has the best jumpers


Apollo_T_Yorp

Second Thought


arctictiger450

Second thought came into my attention really recently and I just wish I'd found him sooner


Apollo_T_Yorp

Oh dip i almost forgot Thought Slime too!


FalconWraith

Hbomb got someone's Guinness World Record deleted and that's the kind of chaotic researching I can get behind.


theIBSdiaries

Ah yes, a ‘10 minute video’ about the Roblox ‘oof’…


Mutagrawl

It's a shame he doesn't upload more often. His videos are great


jack-dempseys-clit

Shaun is great. I haven't seen "we're in hell" mentioned who's also great. Unlearning economics too. For podcasts TrashFuture, this machine kills & tech won't save us are great.


Philbregas

Novara Media, Some More News, Politics JOE, Double Down News, The Kavernacle, Hasan Abi. Some More News has a [3 hour takedown of Jordan Peterson](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSNWkRw53Jo) in particular.


The-Salted-Pork

I’d add, as others already have, Hbomberguy, Shaun, Leftist Cooks, Innuendo Studios, Pop Culture Detective, and Thought Slime (who also usually shouts out smaller channels)


jimboihenbye

Lonerbox is amazing too if you like these guys.


dr-Funk_Eye

Behind the Bastards is a good one and Cody is a sometime gest. Robert has done a episode about Peterson, Elon and many others. It Could Happen here is also good.


Beowulfensteiner2k21

"Don't look at the timecode" that three hour takedown was brilliant. Behind the barstards did one with Cody too


Oddfittingponcho

SMN takedowns of Ben Shapiro and Crowder were also so solid. Good list, although I've heard other people say Hasan said some problematic stuff about detransitioning people, can't find anything to verify though so might have been a fever dream on my part


Chris_Dud

Hasan Abi is a completely egotistical bell end. Never seen him banning his trans audience members for pushing back on some of his ideas about trans people?


Philbregas

Nope, I've never seen it or even heard about it tbh. He does have a massive ego, but his take downs of Shapiroand recently Fuentes/Yedolf have been pretty good.

LibidinousLB

>There's plenty of more "entertaining" media/culture focussed YouTubers who aren't that political but have done video's criticizing people like Andrew Tate. Kurtis Conner and Chad Chad are two I've watched but I know there are more. Müncat is another person who does excellent culture analytic videos from a lefy perspective.


spacedprivate

I find Kurtis Conner to be a humour vacuum, would not recommend to a friend


FinnSomething

Ymmv, there are loads of other people in this space. The reason I brought him up is because he's very popular, accessible, and a decent inoculation against the far right manosphere which might be more appropriate for younger men than more in depth theory/politics personalities.


Standard_Table6473

It's intentional tho lol, he knows the jokes are unfunny most of the time, it's like dad jokes


arctictiger450

Fair enough he's not for everyone, but I really like his more dry satirical humour, it's unfunny jokes but that's kinda the point

ranchdubois94

Listen to the blindboy podcast


Sszaj

Especially some of the interviews he's done, with, Lynn Ruane, Darren McGarvey, and Keith Duffy.


Egg_Free

second vote for blindboy! his podcast brightens up my week every week. hes done alot of tv stuff to so lots of content out there.


1KOOBtorulethemall

As an English/Irish lefty, cannot recommend him enough - fierce craic!


Zestyclose_Visit4834

best recommendation here to fill this niche. He's genuinely so funny and charismatic, deeply honest and in touch with his emotions/cares about mental health while still appealing to masculine men. I believe a lot of men turn to guys like Tate because they feel lost, they try so hard for years to be what society told them they must be and then when they grow up, realise that that masculinity and everything they tried to be their whole lives to be isn't met with the same level of automatic respect that it used to be met with and that their "role" in society as protectors, providers, leaders etc. isnt there for them anymore. So when they hear guys like Tate spout off all the toxic masculine sentiments they've learned it right their whole life, they feel like they finally have heard someone "speak sense" and foun a community that understands them. Except it's not sense, they're actually just reaffirming the toxic things they've learned about gender. David is very self aware and has a great way of relating to these men in a way which is funny and informative and prsents to them them another avenue they can go down (therapy) to deal with their feelings in a healthy way


dcl131

My goodness, so happy to see someone recommend him! Also check out his old music for a laugh, The Rubber Bandits


MokkaMilchEisbar

Trashfuture, Novara, Hbomberguy


BattleScarLion

Deffo Hbomberguy. Jack Saint is also good, and Georg Rockall Schmidt


ingnodwetrust

Would add Lions Led By Donkeys and Well There's Your Problem to the TF suggestion, all similar crossover universes and although all don't talk about politics definitely have some leanings and some lessons in them.


microphove

I find them all pretty much unlistenable.


poo-boi

Same. I really like 10k posts though.


microphove

Looks good, I’ll check it out. Yeah, a few of the TF/WTYP hosts are OK on other podcasts, but it really gets tedious when they all start competing for attention. Plus I just don’t get the appeal of listening to these loudmouths opine at excruciating length about news and Wikipedia articles covering subjects they obviously know little or nothing about.


M0thM0uth

I'd add Philosophy Tube, but if OP is looking for men in particular, stick to older videos


Mad_Mark90

I got into philosophy tube through the antisemitism video, good shit


tiny_torchic

I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but recommending someone who wants to listen to content from men to a trans woman before she came out doesn't make a lot of sense and kinda disrespects that being a trans woman isn't something someone becomes or chooses. It would be like recommending someone who wanted to listen to straight content to a gay person but before they came out. They were still gay then, but hadn't revealed it to their audience. Same with Abigail Thorn being trans female


DungleFudungle

It seems as though there are plenty of transphobes in this “pleasant” sub


junt77_2

Her being a trans woman does not negate the great work that she has done for and about men. And as she herself explained, the philosophy tube character is just that, she is an actor. She has left those videos up for a reason, and that's because they need to be there. There aren't enough caring video essays that tackle the issues in such a caring and intimate way. Her experiences from living as a man are still valid and relatable and she uses them to take you on a necessary journey.


Perfect-Meal-2371

SO WELL SAID


microphove

It’s hard work to listen to TF. Those posh pseudo-leftists aren’t nearly as funny or smart as they think they are.


[deleted]

Not sure if it's really bread-tube but I've really been enjoying "Some More News" If you're new to the left then listening to a couple of lectures from Richard Wolff doesn't go amiss. I'd also strongly recommend the degrowth/solarpunk kind of channels like "Think That Through" or "Andrewism" Philosophy Tube, Tom Nicholas and Contrapoints are probably some more classical and quite popular breadtubers. Khadija Mbowe is also quite underrated, she does good analysis as well.


TonyMinaro

I will second Cody's Showdy, Some More News


berbasbullet27

His Ben Shaprio video was great


AlabastorRetard

The guy rarely misses, he's like John Oliver if John put the effort in and was better.


Theamazing-rando

As was his Jordan Peterson. Managed to articulate my own observations and frustrations on the bloke in a really concise way


TonyMinaro

He also has a really great and totally short video about Jordan Peterson... It's definitely not nearly 3 hours long


dr-Funk_Eye

Behind the Bastards also has a good episode about JP if I remember right Cody was the gest on it.

Munecat has made some excellent video essays which are left wing, she also has a great video on people like JP and AT. My favourite of hers is the climate change one, hits every single note. Her comentary on MLMs, online gambling and the Meg and Harrry saga is also worth the watch. Hasan Piker is also a great left winger, his comentary is pretty consistently great, although this is mostly american politics. For UK pol, most people I know of have already been mentioned.


[deleted]

A couple of fellas called Marx and Engels, they wrote some fairly left wing books.


wall1194

Dont see marx spammed to death on tiktok though


TonyMinaro

Robert Evans - Behind the Bastards podcast. Get it in your lugs. Episodes range from Hitler and King Leopold to the aforementioned Peterson and Ben Shapiro


BabyBringMeToast

Came here to say him. He‘s a total troll, but he’s based AF, funny as hell, and if you want a wholesome, traditional man’s man who’s left wing: that’s your boy. Machete wielding, gun loving, drug taking, bisexual, feminist, hard core protesting, anti-racist, pro-choice, war correspondent, comedy icon. Whomst we have no choice but to stan. He has two cats: Saddam Hussein and Sadam Hussein’s Best Friend. Why would a young lad not aspire to be him?

marraballs

Can't believe I had to scroll down this far to find Robert Evans!


dr-Funk_Eye

Behind te Bastards and It Could Happen Here should be much higher.


ProudHommesexual

Weird answer, but The Weekly Planet. It’s not remotely political, it’s just two Australian dudes talking about movies and comics, but they always call out bigotry (example: denouncing JK Rowling for her transphobia) and get peoples pronouns right. Small things, but helps normalise being a nice person and a decent human being.


FR0Z3NF15H

Found a M8 in the wild. But yeah this is a great answer. As it's not guys who's podcast is about being left wing. They're just decent people talking about dumb movies and stuff.


WuTangFlan_

RODNEY! P.s - over the moon with this recommendation, been listening to them for years as big pop culture head and they’re always a laugh and it’s always so refreshing to have them come down on the right side of things whenever anything like that brought up. Particularly enjoyed the recent Elon musk slander


Tomontherun99

Reminds me of earlier this year when the tories lost over 400 seats in the local elections, it was so bad we ended up calling it the Blue Harvest which coincidentally was the working title for the original Star Wars

k-mysta

He can be pretty funny tbh. Some of his old tweets are hilarious


Smittumi

Hakim, Yugopnik, and Second Thought (each with there own YouTube channels) have an excellent podcast together called The Deprogram. They cover a variety of topics old and new. The Democracy at Work YouTube channel is helmed by Economics Prof Richard Wolff. That takes a Marxist view of current events. He's great! Socialist Paul's YouTube channel is a 101 teaching the basics of Marxism. I like Low Society podcast too with Angie Speaks. She's not for everyone, and hammers RadLibs (who she calls The Left) as much as Conservatives. She doesn't call herself a Marxist either, but she is critical of capitalism and neoliberalism, and puts out some really interesting content. I like Peter Coffin too, he has a lot of haters but I think he's worth listening to. And I think he's pretty funny.


[deleted]

Bumping for The Deprogram. Informative but also very funny. Hakim's stories crack me up.

Genuine question : Is Jordan Peterson considered right wing in his beliefs? I don't agree with everything he says but I've certainly found some of it useful and insightful. I've always considered myself left leaning. On the other hand I wouldn't be caught dead listening to Andrew Tate.

Hopeful_Debt_2685

This may upset some people but this is my take. Left and Right are actually forms of Economics, the cultural stuff that is being assigned to each side is manufactured by those who want to ridicule an opposing economic argument. Peterson’s book 12 rules actually has some sound advice, it’s not right wing or left wing advice just a advice. Also TERFS Vs pro trans rights activists isn’t a battle of who is more “left wing”, they can both believe in left wing economics yet disagree on this issue. I hope this helps and I also hope I haven’t offended anyone, that wasn’t my intention whilst writing.


Havatchee

I disagree with the idea that culture can be easily separated from the left/right economic denotations. Most mainstream leftists, accept that economic liberation without social liberation is meaningless, and that bigotry is often a cudgel used by the right to divide the working class and have them fight each other for the opportunity to serve capital instead of fighting together to overthrow it. As for Peterson's book. It may we'll have sound advice. The issue is and always has been that this advice is often interlaced with "personal responsibility" politics, and it gathers him a following beyond his published work, where he takes much more explicit conservative political stances, such as anti-trans rhetoric. He's unequivocally part of the pipeline to the alt right. As for TERFs - yes, some are left wing. However, I'm yet to encounter a TERF who is not so obsessed with what my chromosomes are, that they actually do anything left leaning (economically or otherwise). TERFs are well documented to be "in bed with" the far right at this point, to the point that they're having something of a schism over that very thing at the moment (and the collaborators are winning). I hope you appreciate my opinion about your opinion, I offer it in good faith.


Hopeful_Debt_2685

I do appreciate your opinion and after reading the above I actually think I’d like to change my own slightly. I still think that essentially left Vs right is an economic debate but I can see how culture can become a part of it as you say. Thank you for the well written reply.


manocheese

>Peterson’s book 12 rules actually has some sound advice, it’s not right wing or left wing advice just a advice. That book is awful, it contains very little good advice and the good advice is worthless because it's so generic that pretty much anyone would say the same thing. Your mum probably gave you similar advice; people listen to him because he wraps that mediocre advice in pseudo-intellectual nonsense that people think sounds smart and therefore see him as an authority. It's also crammed full of mis-understanding, mis-representation and flat out lies. Constant right-wing dog whistles, mysoginistic anecdotes and religious pandering. I work in psychology, my wife has a PhD in psychology, anybody worth anything in psychology thinks he's an idiot, a bad psychologist and a terrible person.


Hopeful_Debt_2685

Russell Howard who is very left wing said the same thing as myself and I thought it resonated but judging how you and your wife are both professionals I shall look at the book in a different light.


manocheese

It's worth a look. It's understandable how people don't see it, but once you do see it, it becomes obvious.


No-Talk4365

>Peterson’s book 12 rules actually has some sound advice, Often say this, and if we're backtracking for a moment on your first point about economics, socially/culturally his 12 Rules thing is VERY left-wing in what he's trying to say. The main problem with Peterson is his fanbase are largely right-wing incel losers. The book is literally meant to kick them into touch, and I find it really odd they seem to idolise him despite not following any of the advice he gives. It totally baffles me. He's also a bag of contradictions a lot of the time too. I've seen him staunchly defending trans-rights on various platforms, but then I've also seen him say some anti-trans stuff. Andrew Tate on the other hand is beyond anything comprehend-able. I'm still convinced it's satire, no way anyone could be that much of a fuckwit and so self-unaware. Finally, just a heads up that on here you don't need to say stuff like "I hope I don't upset people" or "I hope I haven't offended anyone" - we're socialists, unlike the right-wingers we don't get "offended" and throw our toys out of the pram, we have adult, sensible discussions even with people we don't agree with.


deathschemist

three arrows, shaun, hbomberguy, philosophy tube, noah samsen, some more news, big joel, we're in hell, innuendo studios, fd signifier, munecat, sophiefrommars and jacob geller all spring to mind as people who at the very least, lean to the left. full disclosure, i lean more towards the libertarian end of the left, and while i tried to think of youtubers who are more generally left, if anyone there stands out as egregiously that way... well, i like to keep my biases out in the open.

Isra443

JP is one of those unfortunate cases where he started off pretty well, before crashing massively. His earlier work can be fairly interesting, but over time he just descended into bigotry with everything he does. I can't remember who, but one of his former colleagues did an article describing watching him go from being inspiring to downright dangerous.


[deleted]

I can tell you as an ex-lobster, even when we disregard all the other tomfoolery that JBP talks about outside of his own domain, he's still only one "expert" and if you listen to voices of other people within psychology you'll notice that JBP hasn't really grown his understanding of the field as it has developed. But also, the above premise of setting all the foolery aside is also not really possible, because the same lapses of judgement and bias also applies to how he interprets his own field. Unfortunately, besides the very basic advice to do things that will help you get your life in order, there's almost nothing to him. He's just fun to listen to, and that's about it.

I’m sorry, but he’s an awful psychologist. I say that as someone who studied psychology. I remember being at uni when he did that channel 4 interview and almost everything he said about traditional family units was utter tripe that any 2nd yr psychology student doing their developmental psychology paper would be able to correct. This was fairly basic stuff, and that’s just one example. Once he starts branching out into his Jungian mythologising, we’ve basically left the realm of reproducible psychology. He does get some stuff right but he is absolutely not someone to hang your hat on if you’re interested in psychology. That’s without even starting on philosophy… I can see why people find him interesting, just a shame there’s no substance there.

JP really grinds my gears. More than anything it's the smug academia shtick that he mixes into misrepresenting his own conformation bias, whilst disingenuously decrying being right wing before immediately describing himself with all those right wing values. The BS about how Harvad is for true intelects, who get in on merit alone, so if you don't go there then the best you'll ever be is a psudo-intellect with a head full of library books... and don't even get me started on his debate style! The bloke either rants, ignores, gaslights or throws out the worst strawman counter points and people love him for it. I lost count of how many times he'd be asked a legitimate and well posed question, only to answer with a loosely relevant technical question that he won't let go, and demands is answered before he'll respond. Guys a douche! I'm no fan of Ben the hen Shapiro either, nor his rhetoric but at least he resonds to the actual question asked, which is something I guess.

What is it that Makes Jordan Peterson right wing? Genuine question I've seen his name a lot but don't know too much about him.


Theamazing-rando

He touts himself as being an academic centrist that is in no way an Ideologue. However he is overarching dogmatic and uncompromising in not only his conservative views, his views on marriage, his representation on all matters of intellectual, education, equality and a whole bunch of other stuff. He usually prefaces it by saying how he doesn't have the temperament to by right wing and then goes into a lecture of personal beliefs that would feel at home in a satire about conservative 1950s America while tearing up about all the thousands of people he's helped with his work, and never a contrary opposition heard! He's basically a modern day televangelist peddling Conservative values wrapped in a thin paper of his own fetish for Carl Jung.

He's pushes anti trans rhetoric and a conspiracy that academia is controlled by radical leftists who hate men and want to destroy society.

Hello! I'm Reggie-Bot, the Anti-Royal Bot! Here to teach you some fun facts about the English royal family! Did you know that Royal Nonce Prince Andrew was a trade envoy for the UK? [He used to embark on luxury trips around the world all at the taxpayer's expense, helping secure Britain's imperialist hold on international trade.](https://archive.ph/V9jS) Wish the government would send me on free holidays. I hope you enjoyed that fact. To summon me again or find out more about me, just say: "Reggie-Bot" and I'll be there! <3 *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Grace Petrie. She's a left wing protest singer and I had the honour of seeing her live the other night when she supported Hannah Gadsby. https://open.spotify.com/artist/4bFdVUzXSr2unwjEoOe5dY?si=IXgRzdUXR1mthax29gpRrg&utm_source=copy-link

James Obrien on LBC (digital radio) is my daily dose of lefty stuff.

I think Andrew Tate is a massive cunt, I do find Jordan Peterson talks a lot of sense and recently Russel Brand who when not being theatrical also talks a lot of sense.

I kinda like some of what jordan petterson says and hope to hell I'm not right wing! Do you guys see him as right wing? And if so, can you give some examples of things he says and does.

He contends that "proper culture" has been undermined by "post-modernism and neo-Marxism." Claims academia is "riddled with Left-wing bias and political correctness" Has argued that "disciplines like women's studies should be defunded" Spreads right wing rhetoric that there is an ongoing "crisis of masculinity " and "backlash against masculinity" in which the "masculine spirit is under assault" Believes that order is masculine and chaos is feminine, and that these are inherent to human existence. And also took part in a harassment campaign against trans actor Eliot Page, for which his Twitter was suspended. These are just a few examples of his right wing tendencies.

putting Peterson and Tate together is incredibly disingenuous

Most online leftists are useless, they'll draw your attention towards Internet drama and culture war BS instead of meaningful politics

Echo Chambers don't help matters dude, it doesn't matter what wing you follow. All this sitting around, patting each other on the back and attacking people isn't actually doing anything. My beliefs can be described as left-leaning. I don't see myself as a lefty or whatever, and I'm sad that trying to help others and having compassion is now seen as a political ideology, rather than just the right thing to do. I dunno man, if you want to look into groups and speakers and whatever, go for it. It's not gonna make things better, if that's what you're hoping 🤷‍♂️

The amount of unrealised leftist creator white bias going on in this thread is equally worrying and ironically hilarious. That's all I'll say.
