I haven't read either article and I'm probably not going to so I can't really critique the whole situation, but it does seem a bit bad faith to only read two paragraphs of the response, get debatebro about ad hominem stuff, immediately take the side of textbook white Karen suburbanite, then mischaracterize both the person and the broader Maoist position on what should be done in the US.
Like it's our job to constantly be explaining things to the masses but you can't be arsed to explain the whole article to me and why it is wrong? When you read Lenin there are word for word reprints of whole articles written by his opponents and then pages upon pages of why they are wrong. Maybe I'm expecting too much of a Twitch streamer but if I'm not expected to take him seriously that cuts both ways and means his critiques shouldn't be taken seriously either.
