credburn posted:Hey, let me ask a question about YouTube shorts. I'm not really a YouTube person, but to me, Shorts are exactly the same as a regular YouTube video but with some features taken away. They must do something. Do they integrate in a different way with Facebook or something? What exactly is a "short" as opposed to a "video" and why would I ever want to view a short in lieu of a video? They are usually a bit shorter op hth

And functionally it's no different than hitting "next video" on normal YouTube. It's literally just vertical shot videos. I think if you post a vertical video it makes it a short. Something like that. The point is you just infinitely scroll, mindlessly swiping your finger. Occasionally stopping on an interesting one, and the algorithm adjusts based on that. The point is that it's effortless. showing increasingly relevant videos. YouTube just sucks at it.

soviet elsa posted:I didn't know they were British until now, but that makes my PHUO I was going to write in response anyway extra lol. Can you read what I said instead of "oh our noble spirit is corrupted by the perfidious yankee" stuff that you are implying? The USA has more influence on our politics through flooding it with lovely money (Tufton Street for instance). Also ofc there is influence pedaling and the Hegemon forcing their views on people that is why they are Hegemon. Other nations do have it a lot worse, but what I said was that "China has hurt the UK's ability to function a lot less than the USA has". Britain invaded Egypt multiple times before that as it happens, because Britain is also a lovely colonial state manufactured on blood and suffering. Doesn't mean I cannot also have an awful lot of roiling contempt for the various different flavours of awful that get imported from across the Atlantic as well as our own fetid home grown ones. I mean, yeah it is. 30% of people also don't vote in it because "all the same" bollocks and a concerted effort from our media, and US media too lets throw that poo poo around, to paint the person trying to stop that as Hitler 2.0 who was going to murder every Jewish person and replace every business with a gulag. The problem remains within power structures. I have contempt for the UK. I just think America is currently worse and has more influence because of the sheer amount of money and military power they have. It's not even the standard American, it's the governmental structures and various different soft power groups that come from it and flood the world in general with more money for right wing groups than we can imagine.

You've still got some fire in the belly. The main bankroller of transphobia, transphobic "cornerstone" court cases (that they largely have lost up until this year), and transphobic organisations in the UK are far-right american christofascist organisations. Yes, terfs have a lot of individual political support, but they were not well funded or well-organized until american political organisations started shovelling them money. Before right-wing american christian "for the family" groups started funding their PR they actually had a lot of difficulty establishing any forward motion among the general public, the government bureaucracies, and the legal system. e: I would ask that on this matter, that you please stop shooting your guns before double checking that the chamber is loaded, because the current political situation is very tenuous and the degree of misinformation is already "not great".

But for rich comfy countries, the CIA did not force you to elect frothing reactionaries over and over. Joe Biden did not do Erdogan. The majority base of voters in the UK I think tend to dislike the Tories, but currently the alternative parties are "Tory Lite" and "Tory Lite 2: Electric Joobaloo". Their attitudes are largely disliked in terms of political polling, and the "general public" voting base here is actually pretty loving left wing, the reason why Corbyn shot into the mainstream was because he was popular with voters, and a common slander against him was that he was a "populist", despite his political stances being pretty solid and consistent. The state funded media, according to a study performed by the LSE, did several years of slander, misinformation, and negative media coverage about him (to the point of censoring live broadcasts), and even after that it was a damned close tie. I'm not 100% sure, but if you want to blame anything for the UK government being hosed up, I would put the blame on the Tories repeatedly gerrymandering voting districts before they called the general election. (and heres a more recent gerrymandering citation i couldn't fit in) soviet elsa posted:The stupid accent I speak English in is because Britain deported a shitload of people they didn't like.

I really highly doubt that the US government, with it's staunchly pro-Israel viewpoint, is blind to the fact that the majority of youth have been radicalised against the Zionist genocidal campaign by IDF videos posted on Tiktok. quote:One video allegedly showing people fleeing Israeli strikes in Gaza, posted under the hashtag by US-based news site Muslim, has more than 44 million views on TikTok. See also, Vox's article on this. It's such a solid fact that Tiktok has been a major lever in terms of activism against the genocide that it was literally mentioned in two papers studying that as far back as 2021 lmao e: url, not quote lol

Medical professionals get too much respect. It's a holdover from when only the richest, whitest men were allowed to look at a corpses or a nude woman without going to "gaol". That notion that being a doctor is somehow more noble or prestigious than any other job is just a relic from that time. Doctors are just trying to sell you expensive poo poo, they're basically the same as car stereo people. If anything they're worse, if there's something you want at the car stereo shop and you've got the money, they'll do it. But doctors are so high on their own fake authority they'll refuse to perform procedures or give you medicine unless they think you need it. That is insane, no other service person in the world acts like that.
