They release like two or three feature length videos a year with titles like "What Scooby Doo: Cyberchase has to say about parasocial relationships"

    I like Shaun's personality and agree with his politics a great deal but due to my personal preferences I have not watched much of his recent content because it's almost entirely responses. Responses to the 1776 report, to supporters of the Atomic Bomb dropping, to racists, to PragerU, etc. Shaun does these types of videos the best, but that genre of videos is just so over-saturated.

    Maybe this sounds like a lib sentiment, but I want a wholesome leftist channel. One that covers past heroes rather than bastards, and details the good created by past/present socialist experiments rather than the misery created by capitalism. The world is already bleak enough, I'm more motivated by hopes for a better tomorrow, rather than fears that things can get even worse.

      Yeah, I get what you mean. Most leftist videos are there to refute the justifications for the worst excesses of the hellworld we live in. But being constantly reminded about how bad things are isn't great for mental health.

      There have been a lot of great socialist projects through history, and I'd also like to see more videos covering their achievements.
