I guess that could be aimed at what the post is criticizing, sure. I'd call it a stretch to say "We need to 'eat the rich' " is doing such blaming. Maybe I misread the "still" in your original comment, though.

It's good to document the resulting problems, but the analysis of the root cause is absolute shit and is clearly done by liberals (confirmed by them interviewing AOC and uncritically broadcasting what she says without calling her on her own support of colonialism, genocide, and capitalist exploitation). They blame this on a "lack of rules." Bullshit. If there were no rules (laws), the local population would simply kick the rich people out and expropriate their shit. I think you'll find there are plenty of rules and plenty of enforcement. The problem is just that all of that law and order is directed squarely against the working class and indigenous populations.

"More rules" isn't a recipe for fixing anything. People rising up is. Fortunately there was a little anarchist graffiti on that school's wall. So these liberal journalists are not the only people advocating for solutions.

I mean, "the public" is who is going to do the forcing. Or are you just sitting back and hoping that the capitalist-owned state is going to do the forcing without us rising up?

LOL. That was hilarious. Poor idiotic propertarians accidentally invited a real anarchist, when they probably thought they'd invited one of their fake ones who thinks he's going to abolish the state by creating a private one.

It's not. Gates' "charity" does an incredible amount of damage, and also destroys a lot of positive change that would otherwise be happening. For example, he was instrumental in ensuring an open-source COVID-19 vaccine didn't get released, in a way that potentially denied access to COVID vaccines to millions—perhaps billions—throughout the Global South, in the interests of protecting the profits of big pharma. His diversion of education improvements into private and charter schools is pretty infamous for destroying attempts to improve public education...all so that education can be repurposed into creating good, obedient, unthinking workers for capitalist industry. And a lot of his "food programs" and "vaccination programs" throughout Africa have done a great deal of damage to the general public trust in such programs, while arguably doing as much harm as good materially as well.

You might want to do your homework. Here's a start:

to transition people from conservative to liberal, and liberal to leftist, we have to spoon feed.

Not true. People don't undergo ideological shifts simply from running into and watching some online video. They do so after real life experiences that affect them materially. For example, they are fired in a clearly unjust fashion by a boss, violently attacked, arrested, helped by a mutual aid project, etc. And then they are ready to learn whether it's in a dribble or a flood.

Also, it is false that conservative liberals need to go through some progressive liberal phase before becoming leftists. If anything, becoming a progressive liberal tends to stick them right there, trusting institutions of capital and state, and that's the end. I think you've been listening far too much to streamers like the guy in the OP on things like this.

This guy is a pretty hopeless liberal. While he's absolutely obsessed with a certain brand of conservative—and particularly how they behave on the Internet and other public patforms—he identifies himself as part of the status quo of the Democratic Party (you can see this all the time when he uses the word "we"). In particular, he attributes a lot of shit to Democrats without introspection, like assuming they are always honest and well-intentioned.

Like, how would he tell you Democrats are behaving about the concentration camps literally being run within the U.S., now under the direct control of the Democratic administration of Joe "Take Back The Streets" Biden? Would he take a moment of thought and then eat his hat and acknowledge that they're pulling exactly the same behavior that he's describing here for Republicans? The militarization of the police? The continued warmongering, and support of fascists abroad (e.g. Israel)?

This is not leftist material. It's just a part of fearmongering about Republicans in order to get people to accept and wholeheartedly support the fascists under the other brand name of the U.S. uniparty, and never look a single millimeter beyond. Get this shit off BreadTube. Seriously. We can do MUCH better.
