He calls out citations for claims in the video
So, to be clear, after 3 highly confrontational comments about how bad the contents of the video are, you STILL have not watched it? I think you are right, we are done here. This was such a weird pro-ignorance hill to die on.
So, I was right that you didn’t watch the video, and instead of watching the video, you STILL did not watch the video. And you STILL don’t know what the core of the video is about because AI is shit at summarizing stuff like this. It wants to present a list of talking points, but does not know how to emphasize important parts or highlight which parts were focused on the longest.
I don’t have the time to debunk all of this gish-gallop. The main points are that what you identified as “If this was the core of the video, it’d be grand” and “More good stuff” - IS the core of the video - taking up, a roughly estimated, 15 minutes of the 21-minute video runtime. Your speculation that “The solution is not to vote for Biden/Harris” is incorrect, as the actual call to action was to be more active in Democratic primaries. (Specifically calls out George Ladimer vs Jamal Bowman in New York as an example).
Honestly? If this video was being made in 1995 or 2004, it’d be great.
Yeah, pretty much exactly what I said in my original comment. Most of this video is providing historical context and explaining how the modern American political-economic system works.
I really feel like you replied without watching the video because none of that is from the video.
The video explains what a sacrificial villain is in the context of a two-party partisan legislator, expands on why this is necessary in modern politics, then encourages the viewers to continue to support more progressive Democrats so that the strategy is more difficult to pull off successfully without alienating large populations of voters.
Surprising to see so many on lemmy not watch the video, or recognize that it is by Second Thought.
I watched this video earlier today and it didn’t contain any particularly new or insightful information for me, but that’s almost entirely because I’ve been somewhat politically active for a while, which I don’t think is strictly his target demographic at this point.
Second thought’s videos were very uncomfortable but informative when I was first learning about socialism.
Again, just surprising to me that they aren’t more popular in this online space.
I’m reading a book called “Mutual Aid” by Dean Spade. A project like this is exactly what the book recognizes as a good mutual aid project!
The sad news as that the end of this project with mired with almost every cause the book outlines as the downfall of most good mutual aid projects.
I hope this project can eventually be turned back around and salvaged into something more helpful for more people in a more sustainable and long term timescale.
I think it has been verified by address, but my source for that is a Legal Eagle video on YouTube, so take that with about a quarter pound of salt.
I never thought Biden was a sure loss, but I do think that Harris, et al, all stand a better chance of winning. I’m excited for this change, it feels like the DNC is trying for the first time since Obama’s first term.
Sports shooting is incredibly popular at the high school and collegiate level in the US.
I’m not advocating for it, but like, if they are dead they can’t really speak up about their opinions. Again, not condoning murder, but just thinking through the logic on this.
I love watching your cursor zoom around the window. Is that a feature of Neovide or something else that you have configured?
I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that you were just trolling. Next time, just save everyone some time and post to some shitposting community.
Keep trying! You can do it, it just takes time and it very likely won’t click in an evening.
Practice that change super slow going from a G chord to a D chord. Four strums on each chord, taking as much time as you need to make them sound as good as you can. It will sound bad for a little while, but eventually, you will do it perfectly, and you will do it perfectly again and again and again until doing it wrong is more difficult than doing it well.
Keep at it, you will do it!
That’s right! It’s close to being a whole food, but it’s just a bit off.
Toxoplasma Gondii - a parasite bred through cat poop. It is extremely common, easily spread through undercooked food (especially meat). It can affect your mental state to engage in riskier and more self destructive behaviors. Testing for Toxoplasma Gondii is not standard, but it is believed that 10-15% of the US population is infected with the parasite at any given time.
I took a measure from a friend’s house in east Tennessee the other day. 40-some percent humidity (really good!), but 88F in the shade, 93F in direct sun, and 116F when standing over blacktop.
They do deep dives are random shitty people throughout history, and occasionally contemporary people like Andrew Tate. Usually it is people like 1940s gangsters, 1990s drug kingpins, King Leopold the 2nd, and fittest gurus from the 1800s.
As far as I am aware, current fuel economy standards are primarily determined by the size of the wheel base. Some years ago, the EPA went from a reasonably managed chart to a specific formula that gets a little extreme on the ends.
So you end up with craziness like a 95 ranger required to have 60mpg to meet the standard, and a 2024 f35 super mega ultra cab long bed to have like 3mpg to meet standards. (Numbers are made up, but that is the main idea as I understand it)
Ok, will do! You have fun ignoring facts that are contradictory to your worldview. At least we agree that it was “unfair for [you] to get into too much of a back and forth about the video without having any idea what’s in it.”
