It seems that Second Thought (and their second channel, First Thought) has been silently removed from Nebula, with no comment from them or anyone on Nebula’s side.
There’s some context in the comments of a couple of reddit threads about this, that have been deleted on the Nebula subreddit:

That would explain why his latest video seemed to go full tanky. He basically spent half the video justifying the USSR’s, North Korea’s, and China’s actions by saying “akshully the US is worse!”
Like I could agree with the sentiment if he wasn’t trying to justify the actions of these actors at the same time. How hard is it to criticize the US without forgiving the rest of history’s monsters?
The truth about authoritarianism, whether fascist or communist, is they will point to the other to justify their existence, when they both deserve the same bunk in hell.
