I appreciate the director's decision to film his commentary of online leftism from a secluded spot deep in the woods, with snow and water running in the background

I got burned out on in-person organizing with leftist groups as a result of the infighting. I disagree with Contrapoints that we should just expect that sort of stuff to happen and accept it as normal. Yes, some amount of interpersonal conflict is inevitable. However, the quantity of it on the left is abnormal relative to non-political, functioning communities I've been part of. For example, I've met a lot of politically engaged people through an "engaged Buddhist" community near me. Largely kind, compassionate folks who are very motivated to change the world in radical ways, though they generally have a less combative approach than your average card-carrying leftist. There certainly is conflict from time to time, but they have very good practices for resolving conflict, and people often have a generous spirit to help diffuse tensions from escalating into conflicts.
I don't mean that as a criticism of leftists, however. I think it's just the predictable result of a highly traumatized and emotionally fragile community. In general, my experience is that leftists are quite often people who were on the "losing end" of the dominant system in various ways. As a result, they often develop large egos and combative personalities to offset their sense of inferiority and (often real) persecution. I'm certainly no exception, but rather than critique it, I think we can learn to have compassion for the ways in which the suffering we experienced has contributed to some of these maladaptive coping strategies that make organizing with our fellows difficult.
We also experience more vicarious suffering because we are deeply tuned into the worst horrors occurring in the world, which contributes to overwhelmed, hyperactivated, or numb emotional states if we aren't taught how to process these things in a healthy way (another difference with the Buddhist community, where there are regular group processes to share difficult emotions and support one another). These emotional states, when they collide, naturally lead to more conflict occurring. It's a very predictable thing that, if more people are experiencing fight/flight/freeze states that there will be more fighting (as well as people leaving or shutting down and not participating).

As someone who went from consuming content to actually participating in socialist orgs in public I canāt express how much better and more rewarding in every way actually talking to random people on the street is to online comment sections. People are surprisingly receptive to even old fashioned things like handing someone the dreaded pamphlet or newspaper. I assumed that stuff was pointless until I actually tabled and saw how curious people were. The idea you get based on online interactions is completely different than organizing and talking to people in the real world and the real world experience for all its challenges is better in every way. To the extent that these online spaces matter itās really only in that they encourage some people to go out and try the real thing.

What if the purpose of online politics isnāt to start a revolution but instead to entertain while keeping the political in our head, as a way to prevent us from getting distracted by the ānon politicalā

The idea that privileged people cannot speak against capitalism/America is absurd. The entire point of class consciousness is that if you are a lucky enough individual to break out of the class struggle, you should use your new platform to speak against the system that makes life for others worse.

Dude what an excellent video. After hearing criticisms from your last video on the subject, you sat down and sought out the voices of those most knowledgeable about the "breadtube" online space, probed them in productive ways to get earnest, thoughtful responses, and synthesized what one could reasonably expect to be an incoherent mess into a poignant thesis. You let the words of the interviewees speak for themselves while also bringing in outside theory to contextualize the phenomena that we're witnessing in the space, and then also made sure to tie everything together at the end with a fun graph. Loved it.

Y'know, I once got in contact with someone for the express purpose of continuing an argument I was having with them. But, at the last moment, I decided to approach actually speaking with them with a more apologetic and understanding tone. And I was kind of in disbelief about how much better it made me feel compared to the frustration which came with the combative tone I'd taken so often elsewhere, and even prior.
I can personally attest to the fact that non-violent communication isn't just better for the constructiveness of a disagreement, but for your own emotional state in general.
