Is it George Orwell? Often I'll just attach the author, as most anti-communist author's have A LOT of skeletons in their closet.
I grew up in the 90s and living with parents into adulthood was considered very bad (for silly reasons). I do regret not pushing past those ideas at the time.
I contributed to this, but I always thought that the Western obsession with moving out at 18 was really weird and wasteful. Obviously everyone is different, but when I've talked to non Western residents who do family housing, one saves money on rent, food, housework, etc. Old people are cared for and have something to do, parents get help with baby sitting, kids haves more adult interactions.
That said, I've talked to enough non Western residents who this setting failed for them because their family was toxic. I'm sure that happens too.
I don't pretend to know about this very well, so please forgive me if this sounds like an authoritative word.
Ya this video was 90% good. As other people have commented, he did lib "but Stalin totalitarian tho", but most of his points were spot on. Even I learned a bit.
I checked out other videos in his channel and I was very disappointed.
I have to say, I admire Grover Furr for being just so damn obsessed with debunking claims against Stalin. He's me, but better, and with a tenure. I've wasted hundreds of hours of my life editing bs on Wikipedia that I'll never get back.
Wow capitalism broke everything, we should do capitalism harder.
Given what's going on in the FDA now, I'm (maybe irrationally) nervous about this.
A quiet reminder that literally everyone hates Zizek
Space vs time complexity
Maybe you're right (I don't follow this thing very closely), but it was news to me.
Dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. Sorry, that must feel very frustrating.
I agree with most of what you're saying. I think that "online communism" can be a good starting point for people, as it was for me. But as one develops, there's less and less that can be learned from videos and online forums.
No disrespect to any streamer, but even the ones I respect (The Deprogram, Richard Wolfe, or Democracy Comes Home), I hardly watch them because I don't feel like I'm learning anything. But I am grateful for where they brought me.
I guess online communities are good for an alternative community. I keep Hexbear as it keeps me from proprietary social media. But I don't have much hopes for it beyond entertainment and a few small good things it has. I think the second that the Fediverse becomes dangerous to capital, they'll find a way to shut us down.
People start getting followings of fans that will defend them just because they like them.
Ya it's super sad. I recommend staying clear of all that drama, if possible.

Just say that he's on the Council of Foreign Relations. Basically he's being paid to be a cheerleader for Amerikan empire. That's enough for most libs to understand, especially with everything going on right now.
