I've recently learned that American Zoomers love to learn about politics, science, and history through YouTube videos. Kurzgesagt, CGP Grey, and many other capitalist funded trash
I've told a friend about France receiving billions in payments from "former colonies" for their "independence" every year and their first instinct was to search up a YouTube video in front of me to learn more while I was trying to Google for a primary source of the hard financial data and agreements signed
People were lecturing me about how Putin thinks and will act based on videos they've seen from CGP Grey (like Rules for Rulers LOL). As if a man like Putin can be so easily understood and predicted from a dumb tech bro who watched an 8 minute cartoon yt video, especially given the context that he is the leader of such an enormous country like Russia
It is like a thing for a lot of the gen z crowd, my sisters do it and so do their friends - except they search on tiktok not even youtube.
It does mean you can reach them by just reading off Michael Roberts' blog or one of Lenin's more pugnacious rants about some SocDem coward on one half of the screen while scooping colored sand on the other half of the screen and they'll watch it and engage with it.
It doesn't because you'll get banned from Tiktok like EddieLigerSmith did
TikTok bans feels so random compared to other social media companies.
That's because everyday :xi-gun: spins a big Wheel of Fortune and wherever it lands gets the ban.
hadn't heard, but of course MidwesternMarx got banned. he is very good at communicating theory
