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

    Uh, leaving the hard to understand breathing discourse aside: my point was that killing a ton of people is orally neutral. The moral content comes from whether they deserved it or not.

    Within the context of earlier comments: Stalin and Hitler both killed many. Stalin killed the guilty and Hitler killed the innocent. The former is good and the latter is bad, yet a fucking idiot who is simply against killing equites the two as equals.
