The fact that Hank Green doesn't realize that this is literally Crash Course (although with a dicededly less obvious ideological bent, and also using what's probably his definition of what constitutes the left) is just mind blowing

There's a shitload of left / liberal / feminist / anti-capitalist content out there. There's just not the smug disingenuous bootlicking of PragerU.

You're not wrong, but all that content also doesn't have billions in oligarch dollars backing it in order for it to be blasted out to and infiltrate as many avenues of exposure as it can, and it's incredibly short-sighted of this Hank whoever to try and turn this into a question of whether the content exists or how it's created or the quality of the content, when it's really just because of marketing.

Yeah, there's always the powerful bias towards content that supports the power structure. Those with money are going to fund libertarian content, conservative content, even straight fascist content. Because it support them maintaining and reinforcing the power they have.

There's also Means TV, though they also don't have the funding of PragerU, they do have some intro-to-leftism content that has gone viral enough to be on mainstream media.

There's tons of leftist YouTube channels, just none that have the budget for tons of animation or, much more importantly, to buy ads before popular videos.

Would something like Feminist Frequency count? They have a habit of making 20+ minute exhaustive studies though.

Really I think that's the weakness of a lot of lefttube/breadtube, they make half hour videos instead of five minute clips. It's a lot harder to sell people when they have to sit through all of that.

Shaun's refutation of a Laura Southern video is like 3-4 as long as Southern's and, worse, it asks that you watch her video first.

the crown was Jack Saint's "long critique is not deep critique."

It's 45 minutes long, which feels VERY ironic, but it's also a slam on a guy who made something like a 7 hour long Last Jedi hate video series. Said guy responded to Saint with even longer defenses.

this is funny considering like the most midwestern home cooked meals are mayo covered meatloaf with broccoli casserole with french fried onions poured on top with molasses pie for desert.

Among other problems is that the left doesn't consume shameless propaganda, no billionaires spend a hundredth of their income financing leftist propaganda no one ever sees, and the right always captures organizations with power structures from the top down

I really wish someone would ask that Transformed Wife what her thoughts on spousal rape and abuse are because I sense people would shift from "oh this account is absurd and harmless" to "holy poo poo what a loving monster" real quick.

She's been throwing out those softball "oh well wives should love their husbands and obey and cook and clean" poo poo but I'm waiting on the real horrifying poo poo to get posted that is part and parcel with that ideology.

Basically Tumblr did this really cringy meme where they proclaimed Pennywise was a gay icon and married to the Babadook and in the new movie, shock of all shocks, the evil clown monster murders a gay man and uses another character's closeted feelings against him.

Is that because they presumably kept the part of the book where the gay guy gets murdered by a gang of delinquents by being tossed off the side of a bridge, the thing that King based off an actual murder that happened and has said ended up in there because it horrified him?

There's been backlash against it by some people because ~IT DOESN'T MATTER AT ALL WHY KEEP IT IN~ even though it's really super duper clear why it's kept in for two major ways.
