    The art style is cute in a more early 2000s kinda way, but it’s absolute lib shit.

    It was prejudice on my part for sure, especially when Kurzgesagt's earlier videos were about "I Fucking Love Science" topics which were more grating in presentation than outright offensive to me, but I always hated Kurzgesagt's :corporate-art: delivery style.

    Was this a recent video? I feel like tons of media has been doing leg work to prep the masses for escalating conflict with China and downplaying the threat of nuclear war.

    It was some months ago. It was a generic "what if a disaster threatens the entire planet?" video and I forgot its exact name. It was trying to include climate collapse as a bundle with more vague and fantastical disaster scenarios as if to diminish its imminence and relevance compared to the what-ifs.

      I liked the art style because it was quirky, and very well made.

      My lib propaganda sensors were faulty at the time, but it's obvious now why the production quality was so high.

      Shame that a name drop of climate change is enough to get libs to buy into right-wing narratives.

        I suppose it's a difference of taste; you're not wrong to have liked Kurtzgesagt's presentation style, but I always hated it because to me it felt condescending and twee levels of quirky.
