(→Behaviour: removed stream behavior as it's not really important to mention, and also just linked to random stream clips without making a point ourselves. I.e. it's not enough to say one 'engages in misinformation' with a link to a video that (probably?) contains misinformation; we have to point out what the misinformation is exactly in that video.)

Criticism
Behaviour
BadEmpanada has celebrated the doxxing and subsequent retirement of BayArea415 from the internet. He questioned whether BayArea415 was "really at risk" after fascists revealed his identity.[2]
Criticism of AES
BadEmpanada blindly criticises AES projects such as China calling it "capitalist", "imperialist" and "communist in name only."[3]
Pro-imperialist talking points
In 2024, BadEmpanada opposed the democratically elected anti-imperialist government of Venezuela, siding with the zionist[4] opposition instead.[5] He also chose to support the 2024 color revolution[6] in Bangladesh.[7] His video criticizing The Grayzone has earned the approval of notorious anti-communist and Bellingcat-founder Eliot Higgins.[8]
Strawmanning
In a video about supposed 'Chinese imperialism', BayArea415 stated that he preferred not to throw around terms like 'backwards' or 'underdeveloped' in reference to Third World countries and showed a clip from Michael Parenti's famous "Yellow Lecture" explaining why.[9] BadEmpanada took this as Bay quoting Parenti out of context in order to defend China, when this was not at all the case. BadEmpanada then proceeded to quote Parenti criticising China.[3]

Trending Now! Network (2021-09-04).: "'Is China Imperialist?' Comrade Report/Bay Area 415 REACTION & WATCH ALONG". YouTube."By the way, I don't really like the term 'underdeveloped' or 'backwards country' [...]. As this is more of a historical or Marxist terminology of explaining overexploitation from capitalists, I really like how Michael Parenti explains it here."
