I entertained the notion that he was just a regular lib until now, but the mask just drops lmao.

Imagine noticing a fucking extinction event thousands of years in advance, and only saving like 0.1% of the population. And imagine saying this is a remotely positive thing. Like, I'm not saying you can save everyone, but this is just blatant at this point. Some people are just meant to die, and oddly enough, you already know the ones who will be sacrified won't be the children of the elite. I guess being financed by Bill and Melinda Gates just didn't give it away enough.

In fact, I'm ready to bet he'll be pushing some eco-fascism soon enough, overpopulation and all that jazz. The guy has 13.5 millions subscribers too, and they'd probably eat it up. Don't think it will end well either.

    Idk. Their overpopulation video is objectively bad because the message is Africans should stop having babies, but most of their videos are just interesting topics. I don't give a shit what happens to our solar system in 5 billion years, but it's cool to think about. We don't have to hate everything.

      I mean, yes, entertainment is what it is, but you can't help but start noticing patterns here and there. While kurzgesagt is clearly a channel I'll keep watching, some of the videos have some ideological stuff underneath, and should not be watched without a critical eye. The guy is literally funded by the Gates too, and thus won't propose radical solutions to things like climate change or poverty. They're clearly not on the level of "Biographics" or whatever the channel is called as an example, but I won't trust them to give a balanced view on matters that'd require moving away from capitalism.

        Absolutely not. I don't trust any mainstream well funded youtube channel for insight on the excesses and immorality of capitalism. I view all content with a critical eye. But a video on how humanity could survive a star entering the inner solar system and ejecting earth into deep space idgaf.
