Top Comments of this video!! :3
On reddit you see the same posts every week saying something like ''it isn't worth it to work anymore in the US''. But almost no incentive for direct action at all. It's just a place where unsatisfied salaried people go to wallow in their slacktivism. They get a slight rush from looking at stuff that ''opposes the system'', watch a netflix episode, and go to bed. Rinse and repeat.

Hasan is who originally pushed me to read theory once I read theory I joined local political organizing groups and weāve done a lot to change our immediate areaā¦ I know a lot of people who focus on online politics and donāt do anything outside of that but I hope to see more leftists get actively engaged in creating/joining organizers in their areaā¦

Its the diffirence between being an advocate and an activist. Both have important roles.
If there were no advocates for one side of the political spectrum then the other side would dominate the entertainment sphere and disseminate their information to casual viewers without opposition. Keeping ideas in the mind of the general public can be a boon to generate inerest in change.
Activists are engaging with the political system dirrectly to make a change to it. The thing is that this can take a long time and is often not glamorous. So it can end up being invisable to the general public.
As long as advocates dont pretend that they are activists then I think the situation is alright.

is anyone else tired of the meta bread tube videos lately? i appreciate the effort in this video and the arguments posed but I'm so stuck if hearing everyone's opinions on video essayists vs debaters and the"effect" their content has on action
i don't think it matters, i think if the content is inspiring us and getting each of us to talk and think differently, even on a tiny level and I'm tired of talking about whether what we talk about is actually making the revolution come sooner, especially if we don't have new things or nuances
really liked the ending and recommendations for where to go next

āThe revolution wonāt be live-streamed. Watch my new stream tho.ā š Making a difference is so easy, you just have to scale it. If youāre one person, you can affect at least one other person in a positive way. Go outside and make some new connections, be a force for good in your own life.
