Hey all, I have a fledgling gaming channel on YouTube Shorts and TikTok. I started it a month ago and it already has 45k YouTube views and 11k TikTok views.

I'm starting to add leftist messaging to the videos that use apolitical/innocuous words to express obviously political ideas. Help me come up with these types of taglines.

Because games, the demographics are:

  • 96% male

  • 47% ages 18-24

  • 29% ages 25-34

  • 33% :amerikkka:

  • 23% :japan-cool:

  • 6% :ukkk:

So far the games are: Apex Legends, Battlefield 2042 Beta, and Halo Beta. Plenty others to come.

Help me come up with some taglines that we can use on the videos. They don't have to have any relation to the video itself. For instance, I recorded one that says

"If you produce it, you should own it"

which is OK.

I ultimately want a mix of:

  • A few total inside joke memes
  • A few super :based-department: but sneaky commie one liners
  • A lot of pedestrian leftist shit about like, unions, health care, working conditions, anti-racism, international solidarity, and anti-capital/anti-rich rhetoric.

More examples

Miles O'Brien from Deep Space Nine saying "He was more than a hero. He was a union man!" which does say the word "union" but idk if they'll pick that up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3SQ07AaAWg

Michael Brooks show outro tribute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY6iKuDH13w

If you put it in the thread, I'll put it on a video. I upload quite a bit. They're easy to create.

EDIT - the first video with a hexbear suggested line. Thank you /u/Owl!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TY5JP4GhtS0

    It's not so much that I want it to be crypto. The ideal I'm aiming for is to use individual words that are innocuous, but that humans directly understand as leftist. So only crypto to the algorithm that listens in on the spoken content of videos.

    I get the sense that sheer popularity can overcome a form of pigeonholing for political content that would affect a smaller channel.

    And the political words might trigger YouTube to only show the videos to people who consume a lot of political or leftist content.
