    Hey, that's awesome! Decolonization is one of those topics that tends to elicit a knee-jerk response from the average American. It's frustrating and I'm not sure what the correct answer is there. I think a big part of the problem is that the listener feels personally attacked or guilty, like they did something wrong and don't want to be made out to be the villain. I think taking a patient approach with them (as frustrating as that may be) could help ease them into it. American propaganda is a hell of a drug, and it's going to take a lot of work to deprogram your viewers. You'll never win everyone over, but that's just part of having a political YouTube channel. As for your second question, I've been doing YouTube a long time now, so I've got a pretty solid workflow and rarely have to deviate these days. That being said, there have been times where I just wasn't vibing with the topic I chose for the week and I had to make the decision to put it on the back burner and attempt something else. There's nothing wrong with changing topics every once in a while. Always better to work on something you're interested in than forcing yourself to work on a topic just because you picked it.
