Exploring the Influence of Marxism in Modern Activism

This week I’m joined by PragerU personality Xaviaer DuRousseau. Xaviaer is an ex-BLM activist who now uses his platform to educate viewers on politics, and cultural issues as a PragerU Personality. We spoke about why some celebrities are forced to endorse Kamala Harris, Xaviaer’s time undercover for a “Free Palestinian” encampment on UCLA’s campus, misperceptions about Israel, the insidious re-emergence of anti-semisim, the necessity for an informed and educated public, and geopolitical politics and the link between China and fentanyl. Xaviaer also discussed his short documentary, “Their Lives Mattered,” that exposes the heartbreaking reality of inner-city children caught in the crossfire of violent crime as a result of de-policing policies and district attorneys who let repeat offenders back on the street. Xaviaer also reflected on how contrasting social environments shaped his early views on race and identity. He spoke about his college years embracing woke ideology, and his experiences as a social justice warrior in California. While watching PragerU videos with the intention of finding weaknesses in their arguments, Xaviaer realized he was wrong about almost everything, ultimately having an entire ideological shift.
