Cronología

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    The video begins with a sponsorship message for Nebula, promoting the creator's new short film, 'Talking to White People', which is exclusive to the platform. The creator then shifts focus to discuss Donald Trump's presidency, highlighting both expected and unexpected actions that have caused concern, including job cuts and the appointment of controversial figures to key positions.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    The creator reflects on the mixed reactions to a previous video analyzing Trump's election victory, attributing it primarily to issues of race and gender rather than other factors like foreign policy. They emphasize that while other issues matter, the perception of Kamala Harris as a Black woman played a significant role in her electoral performance.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    The creator addresses criticism regarding the impact of the Palestinian genocide on voter behavior, referencing a report that claims a significant portion of Biden voters abstained from voting for Harris due to her stance on Israel. They express skepticism about the research methodology and the interpretation of its findings, arguing that the actual impact may be overstated.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:20:00

    The creator critiques the research's sample size and methodology, suggesting that the reported percentage of voters influenced by the Palestinian issue is less significant than presented. They emphasize the need for more comprehensive data to understand voter behavior in swing states and the broader implications of the findings.

  • 00:20:00 - 00:25:00

    The discussion shifts to the apathy among voters towards the Democratic Party, with the creator citing a political strategist's analysis that suggests many voters stayed home due to disillusionment rather than strong support for Trump. They highlight the importance of understanding the motivations behind voter turnout and the need for better Democratic policies.

  • 00:25:00 - 00:30:00

    The creator reflects on the historical context of the Democratic Party's shift towards neoliberalism and the implications for working-class voters.

  • 00:30:00 - 00:35:00

    The creator acknowledges the complexity of identity politics and its role in the election, clarifying that their previous analysis was not intended to endorse the Democratic Party or Kamala Harris.

  • 00:00:03
    Please stay tuned to the end of the
  • 00:00:04
    video to find out more about how you can
  • 00:00:06
    sign up for Nebula so you can see my new
  • 00:00:08
    short film, Talking to White People,
  • 00:00:09
    which will only be available on Nebula.
  • 00:00:12
    Now, on to the
  • 00:00:14
    show. As of writing, Donald Trump is
  • 00:00:16
    essentially two months into his second
  • 00:00:18
    term as president of the United States.
  • 00:00:20
    And in many ways, he's been exactly what
  • 00:00:22
    I and many others feared he might be,
  • 00:00:25
    and in some ways much worse. It was
  • 00:00:27
    expected that Trump would do petty and
  • 00:00:29
    ridiculous things like pardoning the
  • 00:00:31
    perpetrators of the January 6th uprising
  • 00:00:33
    or doing a full-on commercial for Tesla
  • 00:00:35
    at the White House, renaming the Gulf of
  • 00:00:37
    Mexico the Gulf of America and so on.
  • 00:00:39
    But he's also done things that are more
  • 00:00:42
    demonstrabably harmful such as cutting
  • 00:00:44
    tons of jobs within the federal
  • 00:00:45
    government. I know many people who are
  • 00:00:47
    out of work right now because of cuts to
  • 00:00:49
    federal jobs. He's also killed DI
  • 00:00:51
    programs in various places. His tariff
  • 00:00:53
    war stuff has caused many problems with
  • 00:00:55
    the economy. He has declared that there
  • 00:00:57
    are only two genders. He's put
  • 00:00:59
    incompetent and dangerous people in
  • 00:01:00
    charge of important American government
  • 00:01:02
    systems like education and health with
  • 00:01:04
    the vaccine denier/w weirdo RFK and
  • 00:01:08
    long-standing stoogge Linda McMahon
  • 00:01:10
    being overeducation. And that's even if
  • 00:01:12
    he keeps the Department of Education,
  • 00:01:14
    which it sounds like they're trying to
  • 00:01:16
    get rid of. And then there's the
  • 00:01:18
    intangibles. There's the emboldening of
  • 00:01:20
    white supremacists across the country
  • 00:01:21
    doing marches in major cities. Ben
  • 00:01:23
    Shapiro is calling for the partnering of
  • 00:01:25
    Derek Shavein, the man who murdered
  • 00:01:27
    George Floyd. Other American
  • 00:01:29
    corporations are following suit with the
  • 00:01:30
    retreat of DEI and equity programs,
  • 00:01:32
    which although never really a good
  • 00:01:34
    thing, were at least ostensibly supposed
  • 00:01:36
    to serve underserved populations, most
  • 00:01:39
    notably at Target, which has kicked off
  • 00:01:41
    some kuruffle among black folks and
  • 00:01:43
    probably of any other things I can't
  • 00:01:44
    think of. And I don't know if all of
  • 00:01:47
    this is perfectly accurate cuz to be
  • 00:01:49
    honest, I haven't been paying attention
  • 00:01:51
    to this [ __ ] I told y'all that
  • 00:01:52
    a couple of months ago that I I really
  • 00:01:54
    am not here to talk about Trump. This
  • 00:01:56
    will not be a Trump coverage channel.
  • 00:01:57
    It's not that I don't care. It's that I
  • 00:01:59
    don't think talking about all the bad
  • 00:02:01
    [ __ ] he does is all that useful, at
  • 00:02:02
    least for me. But I I'll probably come
  • 00:02:04
    back to that in a second. What this
  • 00:02:06
    video is is a reassessment of some
  • 00:02:10
    things I said and mentioned in a video I
  • 00:02:12
    did not long after the election about
  • 00:02:14
    how Trump got here in the first place,
  • 00:02:15
    about why he is our president today, at
  • 00:02:18
    least according to the explicit election
  • 00:02:20
    results of 2024. That video had a really
  • 00:02:23
    interesting response in that it was
  • 00:02:25
    something that I think most people
  • 00:02:28
    appreciate it, but some people
  • 00:02:29
    appreciate it in ways that I didn't like
  • 00:02:32
    and don't stand behind and other people
  • 00:02:35
    hated it for reasons I don't think make
  • 00:02:37
    a lot of sense and have been trying to
  • 00:02:38
    prove to me otherwise this entire time.
  • 00:02:41
    In that video, I essentially say that
  • 00:02:43
    the core issues that caused Donald Trump
  • 00:02:45
    to win that election, no matter how you
  • 00:02:48
    try to analyze or swing it, mostly come
  • 00:02:50
    down to race and gender. My argument is
  • 00:02:52
    that issues like the ongoing genocide in
  • 00:02:55
    Palestine had minimal effect on the poor
  • 00:02:57
    performance of Kla Harris in the general
  • 00:02:59
    election and that her performance and
  • 00:03:00
    loss had more to do with her identity
  • 00:03:02
    and how people perceive her identity
  • 00:03:05
    than anything else she did or anything
  • 00:03:07
    else Trump did that at least was related
  • 00:03:09
    to her or the presidency as opposed to
  • 00:03:12
    like people just wanting Trump to be in
  • 00:03:14
    office. They know it'll piss off the
  • 00:03:15
    woke mob and get rid of immigrants, etc.
  • 00:03:18
    I said this in that video and I'll say
  • 00:03:20
    it again here. This does not mean that
  • 00:03:22
    other issues are irrelevant to why this
  • 00:03:25
    election ended the way it did. It just
  • 00:03:27
    means that from my perspective based on
  • 00:03:29
    the analysis I did, they mean less than
  • 00:03:32
    the fact that Kamla was a black woman
  • 00:03:34
    and just taking a look at the trends of
  • 00:03:36
    the voter data over the last couple
  • 00:03:37
    elections and the exit polls and
  • 00:03:39
    everything else and saying what I think
  • 00:03:41
    it meant. Please go back to that video
  • 00:03:44
    if you want to see my actual analysis or
  • 00:03:47
    don't. I know for some of you it will
  • 00:03:49
    not matter. One thing I've learned after
  • 00:03:52
    years on this platform is that your
  • 00:03:54
    loudest and most visible critics and
  • 00:03:56
    people that understand you the least
  • 00:03:58
    rarely ever actually pay attention to
  • 00:04:01
    you. Any issue that they have with you
  • 00:04:03
    is rarely a position you actually hold
  • 00:04:04
    or take that you've actually given.
  • 00:04:06
    Instead, they'll often hyperfocus on a
  • 00:04:08
    distorted madeup version of something
  • 00:04:10
    they heard you might have said that they
  • 00:04:13
    got from something somebody else said
  • 00:04:14
    that they read on Twitter. And it's
  • 00:04:17
    always people with a whole lot of
  • 00:04:19
    tweets. Just just keeping it real with
  • 00:04:22
    y'all. Y'all [ __ ] tweet a lot. My
  • 00:04:23
    point is I'm not going to relitigate
  • 00:04:25
    everything from that video. I just
  • 00:04:26
    rewatched it. And close your ears or
  • 00:04:29
    those of you who hate me cuz you think
  • 00:04:30
    I'm smug and arrogant. That video was a
  • 00:04:33
    banger. I cooked on that [ __ ] This is
  • 00:04:35
    the double down. I'm sorry. Are there
  • 00:04:37
    elements and angles from that video that
  • 00:04:39
    I hope are elaborated on by other
  • 00:04:41
    people? Definitely. Are there ways in
  • 00:04:43
    which I could have been more clear and
  • 00:04:45
    that I want to clarify a little bit
  • 00:04:46
    here. Of course, I wouldn't be making
  • 00:04:48
    this video, but I think the core thesis
  • 00:04:50
    I have to that video has not been
  • 00:04:52
    disproven by anything I've seen, but I
  • 00:04:54
    do want to at least engage with some of
  • 00:04:56
    the most significant criticism that I
  • 00:04:58
    caught from that and update how I feel
  • 00:05:00
    about this whole situation at this point
  • 00:05:03
    some months later. So, let's get to
  • 00:05:04
    major criticism one. New research seems
  • 00:05:07
    to indicate that the genocide in
  • 00:05:08
    Palestine was in fact a major factor in
  • 00:05:11
    voter opinions and the outcome of this
  • 00:05:13
    election. In late January, right around
  • 00:05:15
    the inauguration, the Institute for
  • 00:05:16
    Middle Eastern Understanding released a
  • 00:05:18
    report that found that nearly 30% of
  • 00:05:20
    former Biden voters that didn't vote for
  • 00:05:22
    Kla Harris didn't do that, mainly
  • 00:05:24
    because of Palestine. Press releases
  • 00:05:26
    about this report circled strongly in
  • 00:05:28
    left-wing online circles. More than a
  • 00:05:30
    few people sent this to me or added me
  • 00:05:32
    about this on Twitter as proof that I
  • 00:05:34
    was wrong. And it is seemingly
  • 00:05:36
    vindication on the idea that it was in
  • 00:05:38
    fact the genocide in Palestine that
  • 00:05:40
    caused Kla Harris to lose. So, let's
  • 00:05:42
    talk about this. As I mentioned in
  • 00:05:44
    previous videos, I have legitimate
  • 00:05:46
    credentials and experience in
  • 00:05:47
    sociological research. And when you're a
  • 00:05:49
    trained researcher, you know that one of
  • 00:05:50
    the worst things you can do to actually
  • 00:05:53
    like care about whatever research
  • 00:05:54
    happened is only read the press release.
  • 00:05:57
    Because a press release is very
  • 00:05:58
    different than an actual study. They
  • 00:06:00
    don't have nearly the same level of
  • 00:06:02
    oversight or scrutiny. And one has way
  • 00:06:04
    more leeway to say whatever the [ __ ] it
  • 00:06:06
    wants without getting licenses revoked
  • 00:06:08
    or sued or whatever. When I see
  • 00:06:10
    headlines like damning new poll shows
  • 00:06:12
    price Kla Harris paid for backing
  • 00:06:15
    Israeli genocide in Gaza, I know that
  • 00:06:18
    they don't have to go through a very
  • 00:06:19
    rigorous like evaluation process to make
  • 00:06:22
    that statement. They'll just say in the
  • 00:06:24
    article according to research done by
  • 00:06:26
    such and such and then post a link to
  • 00:06:28
    that research knowing that most people
  • 00:06:30
    will click it and never actually look at
  • 00:06:31
    the research directly. Instead, people
  • 00:06:33
    will just link the article on a tweet
  • 00:06:35
    and then use it in their preferred
  • 00:06:37
    culture war topic. They probably won't
  • 00:06:39
    even actually read the article either if
  • 00:06:41
    the headline is provocative enough and
  • 00:06:43
    says the thing that they want to be
  • 00:06:45
    true. I remember a few years ago a whole
  • 00:06:48
    young men are becoming more right-wing
  • 00:06:50
    table popped up in social media circles
  • 00:06:52
    and a bunch of people talked about it
  • 00:06:53
    and went nuts because it had this one
  • 00:06:55
    graph that showed this big trajectory of
  • 00:06:57
    right-wing thinking in young men. And
  • 00:06:59
    don't get me wrong, some elements of the
  • 00:07:01
    election do show that to be kind of a
  • 00:07:03
    thing, but it's not nearly as much of a
  • 00:07:05
    thing as the research showed it. I made
  • 00:07:07
    a whole video about on the bides
  • 00:07:09
    literally years ago. I guess I'll leave
  • 00:07:11
    that in description although it has
  • 00:07:12
    nothing to do here except for point out
  • 00:07:14
    the fact that when it comes to research
  • 00:07:17
    that enters into the pop culture social
  • 00:07:19
    media discourse space is almost always
  • 00:07:23
    being represented to mean more than what
  • 00:07:25
    it actually does mean and this paper is
  • 00:07:27
    no exception. The method section of this
  • 00:07:29
    paper immediately bothered me because
  • 00:07:30
    I'm not sure it's really a method
  • 00:07:31
    section or a research paper at least
  • 00:07:34
    from what I'm seeing and I know like
  • 00:07:36
    different papers have different
  • 00:07:37
    standards and it might be something that
  • 00:07:39
    I just have not been able to find. But
  • 00:07:42
    that's a problem if you're publishing
  • 00:07:44
    research. I should be able to easily
  • 00:07:46
    read the entirety of the paper even if I
  • 00:07:48
    have to pay for access to a journal. But
  • 00:07:51
    that's neither here nor there. It says
  • 00:07:52
    the data was collected from yuggov.org
  • 00:07:54
    which is not a horrible thing. like
  • 00:07:56
    that's perfectly fine. But I immediately
  • 00:07:58
    had a red flag when I looked at this
  • 00:07:59
    first piece which showed the people that
  • 00:08:01
    voted for Biden but not Kla Harris. And
  • 00:08:04
    its sample size was only 604. So 604 is
  • 00:08:09
    not a horrible sample size for
  • 00:08:10
    sociological research, but it's not
  • 00:08:13
    really big enough to be what we call
  • 00:08:14
    representative in political research. So
  • 00:08:17
    this is like all very brief
  • 00:08:19
    oversimplified research methodology
  • 00:08:21
    stuff. Like, please, for those of you
  • 00:08:22
    who are still hardcore into the
  • 00:08:24
    sociological research space, do not come
  • 00:08:27
    check me on this. Just just roll with
  • 00:08:29
    it. Unless I say something really [ __ ]
  • 00:08:30
    up, then drag me in the comments. But
  • 00:08:32
    you you know where I'm going with this.
  • 00:08:34
    It's never possible to survey everyone
  • 00:08:37
    on a given issue. You can't look at
  • 00:08:39
    everyone's grades across the country for
  • 00:08:41
    a particular test or look at everyone's
  • 00:08:44
    health outcomes or whatever. It's just
  • 00:08:45
    not possible. So, in quantitative
  • 00:08:47
    research, i.e. statistical research
  • 00:08:49
    statisticians have come up with a bunch
  • 00:08:51
    of different standards and formulas and
  • 00:08:52
    rules that basically say okay if you
  • 00:08:55
    follow these rules your sample of people
  • 00:08:57
    will be what we call representative i.e.
  • 00:09:00
    this means that whatever you find in
  • 00:09:02
    this research is representative of the
  • 00:09:05
    greater population around this issue
  • 00:09:07
    i.e. Through the power of statistics, we
  • 00:09:09
    can say that whatever you found, [ __ ] is
  • 00:09:12
    cool. [ __ ] [ __ ] works. It's predictable.
  • 00:09:14
    This is imperfect on a lot of levels.
  • 00:09:16
    Papers that are seem like they're good
  • 00:09:19
    in 1999 were proven to be some [ __ ]
  • 00:09:22
    in 2003 and and so on and so forth, but
  • 00:09:26
    it is a general standard and how things
  • 00:09:29
    are done. In political research, even on
  • 00:09:31
    yuggov.org, the expectation is that a
  • 00:09:33
    political service should have at least
  • 00:09:35
    1,000 valid responses. Yet, I didn't see
  • 00:09:38
    anything about them not reaching that
  • 00:09:40
    threshold in this report, which
  • 00:09:41
    initially made me very suspicious about
  • 00:09:43
    the whole thing. And I kept digging and
  • 00:09:46
    clicking around and realized, duh, I had
  • 00:09:48
    missed low-key half of the paper. And I
  • 00:09:51
    went back and looked and saw that the
  • 00:09:53
    entirety of this sample was not 604. It
  • 00:09:56
    was actually 1,078 voters. The other 474
  • 00:09:59
    responders in the sample actually still
  • 00:10:01
    voted for Kala Harris despite her stance
  • 00:10:03
    on sending weapons to Israel. So, I want
  • 00:10:05
    you to think about the real math here.
  • 00:10:07
    Now, this survey had a valid sample size
  • 00:10:09
    of 178 people. Of those, 178 people, 604
  • 00:10:14
    or 56% of them did not vote for Kla
  • 00:10:17
    Harris. And then, by their own words,
  • 00:10:19
    only 175 out of those 604 people did not
  • 00:10:23
    vote for Kla Harris primarily because of
  • 00:10:26
    the fact that she did not take a stance
  • 00:10:27
    against the genocide in Palestine. When
  • 00:10:29
    we put that back into the context of the
  • 00:10:31
    entire sample, what these report really
  • 00:10:34
    should point out is that only 16% of the
  • 00:10:36
    people that they surveyed did not vote
  • 00:10:38
    for Kla Harris because of Palestine,
  • 00:10:40
    which is significant, but far less
  • 00:10:42
    compelling than the initial things that
  • 00:10:45
    were being put out there. It's literally
  • 00:10:46
    half as significant, basically. Now, I
  • 00:10:49
    want to be clear that 16%, especially in
  • 00:10:52
    this election, is not insignificant.
  • 00:10:55
    This is not a nonfinding, and this study
  • 00:10:57
    isn't invalid. It's just much less of a
  • 00:11:00
    big deal than press releases and tweets
  • 00:11:03
    would have people think that 16%
  • 00:11:05
    depending on his composition could have
  • 00:11:08
    made a huge difference. But that's again
  • 00:11:10
    the thing we don't know much about this
  • 00:11:13
    16%'s composition because I don't say
  • 00:11:15
    anything about the methods of how they
  • 00:11:17
    collected this data except for the fact
  • 00:11:18
    that they got it from yuggv.org which
  • 00:11:22
    already is introducing some biases about
  • 00:11:24
    who's going to go to and even knows that
  • 00:11:26
    website. We also don't know if the
  • 00:11:28
    people that took this survey were in
  • 00:11:29
    Georgia or
  • 00:11:33
    California
  • 00:11:35
    what bro what are you talking about man
  • 00:11:38
    or Arizona if they're in any of those
  • 00:11:40
    states that 16% is a huge deal would
  • 00:11:42
    have had a serious impact but those are
  • 00:11:44
    people responding to the survey from
  • 00:11:46
    Texas or California or New York or
  • 00:11:48
    Illinois then it's kind of meaningless
  • 00:11:50
    remember that the main argument that I
  • 00:11:52
    was making was based on the fact that
  • 00:11:53
    when you analyze the data of what was
  • 00:11:55
    happening in swing swing states
  • 00:11:57
    comparing Kamla's voter counts to
  • 00:11:58
    Biders's voting counts. You see that she
  • 00:12:01
    outdid him in many of those swing
  • 00:12:03
    states. So until we know exactly what
  • 00:12:05
    happened in those states, we don't quite
  • 00:12:08
    know for sure what is happening. I could
  • 00:12:10
    go on trying to use my researcher brain
  • 00:12:12
    to break down why I'm not a huge fan of
  • 00:12:15
    the way this finding was presented to
  • 00:12:18
    the public. Like for example, the second
  • 00:12:20
    highest thing that kept people from
  • 00:12:22
    voting for Kla Harris was the economy.
  • 00:12:24
    I'm sorry. Anybody that tells me they
  • 00:12:26
    didn't vote for Kla Harris over the
  • 00:12:28
    economy, well, the obvious issue is
  • 00:12:29
    going to be the economy. I don't trust
  • 00:12:31
    your ass. Just keep it real with you.
  • 00:12:33
    But my goal isn't to tear down the
  • 00:12:34
    people that did this survey because I
  • 00:12:36
    actually went and watched them talk
  • 00:12:37
    about it and I read through like chunks
  • 00:12:39
    of the site that it came from. This
  • 00:12:41
    seems like, you know, comrades. These
  • 00:12:43
    seems like good people. And really, if
  • 00:12:45
    you look at what they're actually saying
  • 00:12:47
    in their reports and then a podcast that
  • 00:12:49
    I'll link in from the video, if you
  • 00:12:51
    actually go and listen to what they're
  • 00:12:52
    saying and doing, they seem less
  • 00:12:54
    interested in dunking on right-wingers
  • 00:12:56
    or Democrats or scoring points on
  • 00:12:58
    Twitter and more interested in providing
  • 00:13:00
    a fully fleshed out analysis of what the
  • 00:13:02
    problem is here and how what's happening
  • 00:13:04
    in Palestine reflects not necessarily
  • 00:13:06
    America's true interest in what's
  • 00:13:09
    happening in Gaza, but instead how the
  • 00:13:11
    issue of Palestine and Gaza and the
  • 00:13:13
    ongoing and genocide is emblematic of
  • 00:13:15
    the greater problem with American
  • 00:13:17
    politics as a whole and specifically
  • 00:13:18
    with the do nothing policies of the
  • 00:13:20
    Democratic party in order to uh to to to
  • 00:13:23
    ensure that funding continues in order
  • 00:13:26
    to make sure that people don't speak out
  • 00:13:28
    even even folks who know better even
  • 00:13:30
    people who know the truth who will
  • 00:13:32
    behind closed doors say things like
  • 00:13:35
    listen I'm with you and I know what's
  • 00:13:36
    going on and this is atrocious and
  • 00:13:38
    terrible but like I if I say anything if
  • 00:13:41
    I put my neck out there if I say
  • 00:13:42
    anything publicly they're going primary
  • 00:13:44
    me or they're going to dump a bunch of
  • 00:13:46
    money for, you know, into my opponent's
  • 00:13:48
    campaign. All of those things, which we
  • 00:13:50
    have, of course, saw play out very
  • 00:13:51
    publicly even this past cycle uh in the
  • 00:13:54
    in the last
  • 00:13:56
    primaries. None of that is new. There
  • 00:13:58
    may be further research yet to come to
  • 00:14:00
    show that more Democratic voters and
  • 00:14:02
    Americans were so horrified by what
  • 00:14:04
    happened in Gaza that they abstained
  • 00:14:06
    from voting for her in protest. But I do
  • 00:14:09
    not believe this to be the case. We're
  • 00:14:11
    talking about a complex sociological
  • 00:14:13
    issue and that can't be fully decided by
  • 00:14:16
    one or two studies a few months after it
  • 00:14:17
    happened. So, I'll amend my take if more
  • 00:14:20
    compelling research comes out to show
  • 00:14:22
    otherwise. But until then, I'm going to
  • 00:14:24
    operate on the understanding of America
  • 00:14:26
    that I've had my whole [ __ ] life,
  • 00:14:27
    which is Americans don't give a [ __ ]
  • 00:14:29
    about the rest of the world. Cuz
  • 00:14:31
    historically, we never have. At best
  • 00:14:33
    that the bad thing happening in the
  • 00:14:35
    world is happening to white people.
  • 00:14:37
    There may be some lift service given to
  • 00:14:39
    why that problem should stop. But right
  • 00:14:42
    now, there are three humanitarian crises
  • 00:14:44
    happening in Africa that barely get any
  • 00:14:46
    attention even from the American left.
  • 00:14:48
    So, I'm sorry if I just don't believe
  • 00:14:51
    that run-of-the-mill liberals cared so
  • 00:14:53
    much about Palestinian people that they
  • 00:14:55
    withheld their vote for Kla Harris for
  • 00:14:58
    that reason. I'm not saying this because
  • 00:15:01
    I don't care. I'm saying this because I
  • 00:15:03
    actually care. And if you actually care,
  • 00:15:06
    you should stop trying to win arguments
  • 00:15:08
    on the internet and be actually doing
  • 00:15:10
    work to address the gap in care and
  • 00:15:12
    knowledge and education on why nobody's
  • 00:15:15
    caring in the first place. Think about
  • 00:15:17
    how dangerous it is that people are
  • 00:15:19
    trying to present as if we've already
  • 00:15:21
    won on this topic with the American
  • 00:15:23
    people when we haven't and how that
  • 00:15:25
    false reality and false sense of
  • 00:15:27
    accomplishment is really working against
  • 00:15:30
    the work that's being done. So, I'm
  • 00:15:32
    sorry to anyone that is disappointed by
  • 00:15:34
    this analysis. I again open myself up
  • 00:15:37
    for anyone that might analyze what I
  • 00:15:39
    looked at and say that it's more
  • 00:15:41
    significant than it was presented. But
  • 00:15:44
    we're going to move on to something that
  • 00:15:45
    I do think is more impactful on my
  • 00:15:47
    original video. So, there's an article
  • 00:15:49
    from a political strategist named
  • 00:15:50
    Michael Podhorer. And in it, he
  • 00:15:52
    basically comes to a similar conclusion
  • 00:15:53
    that the previous research was really
  • 00:15:56
    trying to get at, which is that Trump
  • 00:15:57
    didn't win so much because of a basic
  • 00:16:00
    policy that he had or didn't have. And
  • 00:16:02
    he definitely didn't win because of
  • 00:16:03
    protest voters against Democratic
  • 00:16:04
    support of Israel. Instead, it was
  • 00:16:06
    mostly apathy and dumerism from voters
  • 00:16:09
    who are tired of the duopoly and are no
  • 00:16:10
    longer inspired by the Democratic
  • 00:16:12
    party's specless resistance to fascism.
  • 00:16:14
    He presents a lot of compelling
  • 00:16:16
    arguments and data around this that I
  • 00:16:17
    think everyone should check out. I'm not
  • 00:16:19
    going to spend any time really like
  • 00:16:21
    explaining to you why I believe what
  • 00:16:22
    he's saying. But one thing that he does
  • 00:16:24
    say that I want to focus on is that this
  • 00:16:27
    election isn't evidence of a significant
  • 00:16:30
    right-wing like jump in American
  • 00:16:32
    sentiment as much as it is evidence of
  • 00:16:35
    people not believing in and not caring
  • 00:16:37
    about what the Democrats are offering as
  • 00:16:39
    a political party and basically just
  • 00:16:42
    staying home. One criticism that I think
  • 00:16:44
    is valid of my analysis, but doesn't
  • 00:16:47
    necessarily cancel out the analysis, is
  • 00:16:49
    that you have to account for the large
  • 00:16:51
    amount of American people, I think like
  • 00:16:53
    90 million overall that did not vote in
  • 00:16:55
    this election and how that's just as
  • 00:16:57
    much of a reflection on sentiment around
  • 00:17:00
    race or gender or fascism or capitalism
  • 00:17:02
    or whatever else as anything that the
  • 00:17:04
    voters show through their data. His
  • 00:17:06
    analysis shows that there were small
  • 00:17:08
    jumps in certain populations in support
  • 00:17:10
    of Trump. But when he breaks things down
  • 00:17:12
    by focusing more on non- voters and
  • 00:17:14
    returning voters, he shows that this
  • 00:17:16
    election reflected an abandonment of the
  • 00:17:18
    Democratic Party. The Democratic Party
  • 00:17:20
    before my time maybe had some
  • 00:17:22
    inclinations of being a party for
  • 00:17:24
    working-class people and equal rights,
  • 00:17:26
    etc., etc., but since Clinton, when the
  • 00:17:28
    Democratic Party swung right under
  • 00:17:30
    Clinton, it's basically been another
  • 00:17:32
    flavor of neoliberal fascism. one that
  • 00:17:34
    is a bit less sour tasting than the
  • 00:17:36
    overt in-your-face racism of the
  • 00:17:38
    Republican party, but still serving the
  • 00:17:40
    same purposes. One critic of my video,
  • 00:17:42
    who I respect, made a point that
  • 00:17:43
    basically breaks down to whatever you
  • 00:17:46
    think bad about the Republicans or
  • 00:17:48
    something that the Republicans are
  • 00:17:49
    doing, understand that Democratic
  • 00:17:52
    efforts and work are probably what made
  • 00:17:54
    that bad thing possible. If Republicans
  • 00:17:57
    are like in a room eating babies, there
  • 00:18:01
    are Democrats in the kitchen putting
  • 00:18:03
    babies on a plate. You kind of get the
  • 00:18:05
    point here. Another point that comes out
  • 00:18:07
    of this that I couldn't speak accurately
  • 00:18:08
    to at the time is that despite a
  • 00:18:10
    relatively large discrepancy in the
  • 00:18:12
    electoral college, Trump's victor was a
  • 00:18:15
    historically small one in its margins. A
  • 00:18:17
    little more than 2 million votes
  • 00:18:19
    nationwide and less than 500,000 votes
  • 00:18:22
    between all the swing states that he
  • 00:18:23
    won. This is not a landslide in the will
  • 00:18:25
    of the people victory that Trumpsters
  • 00:18:27
    make it out to be or that I may have
  • 00:18:29
    insinuated reflects the sociological
  • 00:18:32
    identity of the country, but it does
  • 00:18:33
    show that the problem could be more
  • 00:18:36
    effectively addressed by better policies
  • 00:18:38
    from Democrats. Shout out to Kabernacle
  • 00:18:41
    who's a British creator that you know is
  • 00:18:43
    YouTube yapper, political yapper. He
  • 00:18:45
    pointed out an old article called Racist
  • 00:18:48
    for Obama. And I just wanted to read it
  • 00:18:50
    for you quickly to just show you how
  • 00:18:52
    people even when they're bigoted and
  • 00:18:55
    even when they might be watching Fox
  • 00:18:57
    News all the time to rot their brain,
  • 00:19:00
    people
  • 00:19:01
    fundamentally care about material
  • 00:19:03
    conditions more. Sean heard the
  • 00:19:04
    following story in this town where Obama
  • 00:19:06
    just got slaughtered by Hillary Clinton.
  • 00:19:09
    A canvaser goes to a woman's door in
  • 00:19:11
    Washington, Pennsylvania. Knocks. Woman
  • 00:19:14
    answers. Knocker ask who she's planning
  • 00:19:16
    to vote for. She isn't sure. Has to ask
  • 00:19:19
    her husband who she's voting for.
  • 00:19:21
    Husband is off in another room watching
  • 00:19:22
    some game. Canvaser hears him yell back,
  • 00:19:25
    "We're voting for the racial slur,"
  • 00:19:28
    meaning Obama. The woman turns back and
  • 00:19:30
    says, as a matter of fact, that we're
  • 00:19:32
    voting for the racial slur. I've heard
  • 00:19:34
    similar stories in West Virginia in
  • 00:19:35
    which people openly use the n-word while
  • 00:19:38
    saying they're voting for Obama. It's
  • 00:19:40
    important not to read too much into
  • 00:19:41
    this. It's mostly a reflection of the
  • 00:19:43
    economy. McCain's ridiculous response to
  • 00:19:46
    the crisis, Palin's presence, and
  • 00:19:49
    clearly part of it must be Obama has
  • 00:19:51
    come across to these folks as smart and
  • 00:19:53
    steady and someone who will use good
  • 00:19:55
    judgment in office. I still doubt that
  • 00:19:58
    Obama will carry West Virginia, but he's
  • 00:20:00
    a lot further along with these voters
  • 00:20:01
    than I'd fought back in April or May.
  • 00:20:04
    having all that racism in their heart.
  • 00:20:06
    These are people that understood that
  • 00:20:08
    the policies being presented by the
  • 00:20:10
    Republican party were not going to be as
  • 00:20:13
    good as the policies being presented by
  • 00:20:15
    then the hope and change candidate. That
  • 00:20:17
    of course we know that didn't come to
  • 00:20:19
    fruition, but at the time it seemed like
  • 00:20:21
    a good idea. And if Democrats were able
  • 00:20:23
    to present actual good ideas during this
  • 00:20:25
    election, it's important to understand
  • 00:20:27
    that that can and would have made a
  • 00:20:30
    difference. The argument that I've seen
  • 00:20:32
    is that the real problem is that
  • 00:20:33
    Democratic voters were uninspired by
  • 00:20:35
    Kamla for obvious reasons based in her
  • 00:20:38
    policies and the policies she endorsed
  • 00:20:40
    as vice president under Biden and they
  • 00:20:42
    feel apathetic to the current political
  • 00:20:44
    reality that is being presented to them
  • 00:20:47
    and that makes sense as well. However, I
  • 00:20:49
    also think it's sensible to say that the
  • 00:20:51
    apathy felt by this community, which
  • 00:20:53
    again, statistically was majorly
  • 00:20:55
    straight white men not wanting to go out
  • 00:20:58
    and do the bare minimum of political
  • 00:20:59
    engagement and vote so we could protect
  • 00:21:02
    immigrants, sexual minorities, women's
  • 00:21:04
    uteruses, black people, and all kinds of
  • 00:21:07
    other [ __ ] under Trump. I don't think
  • 00:21:09
    that's a race or genderneutral issue or
  • 00:21:11
    decision that they made. They understand
  • 00:21:14
    they're not going to be affected. They
  • 00:21:16
    stayed their asses home. Nobody's
  • 00:21:18
    presented anything to show me otherwise.
  • 00:21:20
    Like I have no smoke, and I want to be
  • 00:21:22
    clear, no smoke for Palestinian or
  • 00:21:24
    Muslim voters or principal third party
  • 00:21:26
    voters who drew the line at genocide. I
  • 00:21:29
    have no issue with them because that is
  • 00:21:31
    a very logical and reasonable response
  • 00:21:33
    to the situation that they were facing
  • 00:21:36
    going into the election. But as the data
  • 00:21:38
    shows, that is a small amount of people
  • 00:21:40
    literally for what we know right now.
  • 00:21:42
    We're talking 170 something people that
  • 00:21:45
    we know of at this point in terms of
  • 00:21:47
    research out of 245 million. But the
  • 00:21:50
    biggest difference still is that large
  • 00:21:53
    group of mostly white straight suburban
  • 00:21:55
    men who didn't vote because they felt
  • 00:21:58
    uninspired. I don't know what y'all want
  • 00:22:00
    me to think about these people under the
  • 00:22:02
    circumstances. I do not know why some of
  • 00:22:04
    y'all are so intent on protecting their
  • 00:22:07
    egos because that's how we got here in
  • 00:22:09
    the first place. All that said, this is
  • 00:22:12
    still the political meta of the moment.
  • 00:22:14
    As I said in the last video, if you're
  • 00:22:16
    trying to understand the political
  • 00:22:17
    reality of America, all you're really
  • 00:22:19
    trying to do is figure out what gets
  • 00:22:21
    white people to show up or not show up
  • 00:22:22
    on election day. AOC is clearly gearing
  • 00:22:24
    up for a presidential run. And she would
  • 00:22:27
    probably be a significant improvement
  • 00:22:29
    over anything the Dems have run in my
  • 00:22:31
    adulthood. Even as she shows herself to
  • 00:22:33
    be incredibly compromised, I don't care
  • 00:22:35
    if y'all take that out of context. I
  • 00:22:37
    know how y'all do. She doesn't stand a
  • 00:22:38
    chance anyway because she's a woman and
  • 00:22:40
    she's not white. So prepare for
  • 00:22:42
    President Patrick Baker. The memes write
  • 00:22:45
    themselves. This dude's already doing
  • 00:22:46
    shitty podcast full of all the
  • 00:22:48
    right-wing talking heads. The only
  • 00:22:50
    reason he's probably not president now
  • 00:22:52
    is cuz Biden refused to drop out the
  • 00:22:54
    race. That is America's political
  • 00:22:56
    reality in terms of real electoral
  • 00:22:59
    politics. Brace yourself for that. But
  • 00:23:01
    this does bring me to one last criticism
  • 00:23:03
    of my video that I do think merits more
  • 00:23:05
    response, which is and that my video was
  • 00:23:07
    also in and of itself an example of
  • 00:23:09
    feckless identity politics. Maybe.
  • 00:23:12
    Maybe. My bad. It's not my goal to boil
  • 00:23:15
    down this extremely complex political
  • 00:23:18
    reality that we're dealing with to just
  • 00:23:20
    race and gender with the intention of
  • 00:23:22
    creating more leftist disunityity or
  • 00:23:24
    presuming that more women or minorities
  • 00:23:26
    in positions of power would fix the
  • 00:23:28
    problem or making people think that if
  • 00:23:30
    we just put more black people in places
  • 00:23:32
    of visibility or more women in places of
  • 00:23:34
    visibility that that is what the
  • 00:23:36
    Democratic party needs or what we need
  • 00:23:38
    to do to fight fascism, etc., etc.
  • 00:23:41
    That's not what I was trying to do. Far
  • 00:23:43
    from it. As I just said, the only way
  • 00:23:45
    the Democrats win is to go to central
  • 00:23:47
    casting and get Jack Johnson or John
  • 00:23:49
    Jackson. But I can't deny that I kept
  • 00:23:52
    seeing that type of sentiment in my own
  • 00:23:54
    comment section. Don't let their
  • 00:23:56
    identical DNA fool you. They differ on
  • 00:23:58
    some key issues. I say your three cent
  • 00:24:01
    titanium tax goes too far and I say your
  • 00:24:04
    three cent titanium tax doesn't go too
  • 00:24:06
    far enough. I kept seeing people in the
  • 00:24:08
    comments positively responding to my
  • 00:24:10
    analysis of the situation low-key as an
  • 00:24:13
    endorsement of the Democratic Party and
  • 00:24:14
    Kla Harris. So, let me try to be extra
  • 00:24:17
    clear here. Kla Harris is bad. The
  • 00:24:21
    Democratic Party is bad and identity
  • 00:24:24
    politics as the extent of your political
  • 00:24:26
    analysis is really, really bad. Black
  • 00:24:30
    faces in high places also bad. I thought
  • 00:24:33
    I was being clear about this, but one
  • 00:24:35
    thing you realize after doing this for a
  • 00:24:36
    long time is that so many people listen
  • 00:24:39
    to your [ __ ] while they're like studying
  • 00:24:41
    or cooking or washing dishes or
  • 00:24:43
    something. You're very often just
  • 00:24:46
    background noise, which I wouldn't mind
  • 00:24:48
    if it wasn't for how many people circle
  • 00:24:50
    back to comment on things that they
  • 00:24:51
    clearly didn't understand, that they
  • 00:24:53
    would have understood if they finished
  • 00:24:54
    the video or paid attention. I wasn't
  • 00:24:57
    aware of this, but I kind of have like a
  • 00:25:00
    smooth, soothing voice. It's warm.
  • 00:25:03
    Perfect for ASMR or whatever the [ __ ]
  • 00:25:05
    that is. Maybe just falling asleep. Drop
  • 00:25:08
    a comment if you like to turn me on
  • 00:25:10
    before you fall asleep because my voice
  • 00:25:12
    eases you in a state of coziness.
  • 00:25:14
    Especially if it's a video about media
  • 00:25:16
    or some cool history.
  • 00:25:19
    Or if you can hear my voice, clap once.
  • 00:25:22
    If you can hear my voice, clap twice. If
  • 00:25:24
    you can hear my voice, clap three
  • 00:25:27
    times. By focusing on identity politics
  • 00:25:30
    of this election, I did erroneously give
  • 00:25:33
    coverage to a lot of people who are
  • 00:25:36
    failing to engage with the internal
  • 00:25:38
    paradoxes of the modern Democratic
  • 00:25:39
    party. Folks who either through
  • 00:25:41
    ignorance or avarice don't just vote for
  • 00:25:44
    Democrats as a form of harm reduction,
  • 00:25:47
    but genuinely support their political
  • 00:25:49
    project and seem disinterested in
  • 00:25:51
    anything beyond electoral politics and
  • 00:25:53
    sustaining of empire. So we need to
  • 00:25:56
    address that. And from here things will
  • 00:25:58
    get a bit ranty if you can't tell. So,
  • 00:26:01
    brace yourselves. When rumbling started
  • 00:26:03
    that Biden was about to drop out, I just
  • 00:26:06
    knew they weren't going to run Kamla cuz
  • 00:26:09
    as I said earlier, Kamla was bad. Can we
  • 00:26:12
    admit that y'all? Not in the actual
  • 00:26:15
    campaign. Real talk. I'll get to that in
  • 00:26:17
    a second. But like y'all, Kamla was the
  • 00:26:20
    first to drop out in 2020 and she was
  • 00:26:23
    not good the entire four years as vice
  • 00:26:26
    president. It's just the reality of the
  • 00:26:28
    situation. And when they announced her
  • 00:26:30
    as the nominee, I was surprised at the
  • 00:26:33
    immense level of energy she immediately
  • 00:26:35
    engendered out of the gate. That coconut
  • 00:26:38
    [ __ ] that [ __ ] went off. Calling
  • 00:26:40
    Republic is weird, that [ __ ] went off.
  • 00:26:43
    not picking a Zionist for her running
  • 00:26:45
    mate and picking one of the more
  • 00:26:47
    progressive figures in the Democratic
  • 00:26:48
    party right now. Win after win after win
  • 00:26:51
    out the gate. She got off to an amazing
  • 00:26:52
    start and I personally quickly changed
  • 00:26:55
    my thinking. I thought she would win. I
  • 00:26:58
    said in another video I hadn't seen this
  • 00:26:59
    type of energy behind a Democratic
  • 00:27:01
    candidate since Obama in '08. Kamla no
  • 00:27:04
    show at a congressional meeting with
  • 00:27:05
    Netanyahu and people thought she might
  • 00:27:07
    actually break with Biden's policy on
  • 00:27:09
    Israel. [ __ ] was really looking good
  • 00:27:11
    despite the fact that she was low-key
  • 00:27:13
    put in a really bad situation to be
  • 00:27:16
    starting a campaign halfway through the
  • 00:27:18
    campaign season. And I do feel like had
  • 00:27:21
    she kept with this strategy that gave
  • 00:27:22
    her so much momentum even without a real
  • 00:27:25
    campaign or a primary, she maybe could
  • 00:27:27
    have pulled out an upset victory. And
  • 00:27:29
    that actually surprised and concerned me
  • 00:27:31
    about how quickly specifically black
  • 00:27:33
    liberals were falling for the same song
  • 00:27:36
    and dance like we did with Obama over a
  • 00:27:38
    decade ago. I have whole scripts, one of
  • 00:27:40
    which is on my Patreon, where I was
  • 00:27:41
    trying to think about what the best way
  • 00:27:44
    Ford was going to be to pull in these
  • 00:27:48
    black liberals when Kamla eventually did
  • 00:27:50
    what Democrats always did after she was
  • 00:27:53
    president cuz I just knew in my head she
  • 00:27:55
    was going to win. Keeping it real, deep
  • 00:27:57
    inside, I was ready to go to at least
  • 00:28:00
    one or two Black Excellence brunches
  • 00:28:02
    after the time, you know, open bar, a
  • 00:28:04
    couple of stroll lines. It is what it
  • 00:28:06
    is. We all have our vices. Say what you
  • 00:28:08
    want about Kamla, but truth be told, if
  • 00:28:11
    you take a step back and look at the
  • 00:28:12
    landscape of things, she did a really
  • 00:28:14
    good job of what she was given at that
  • 00:28:17
    point. And there's been a lot of
  • 00:28:18
    statistical analysis that shows that she
  • 00:28:20
    outperformed what was expected of her.
  • 00:28:22
    But then she remembered, and the
  • 00:28:24
    Democratic party remembered that they
  • 00:28:26
    are a party of co-opted, neoimperialist,
  • 00:28:29
    corporately owned fascists, just like
  • 00:28:31
    the Republicans, but more polite about
  • 00:28:33
    it. BP, the editor of this video, says
  • 00:28:35
    that we really have only one party with
  • 00:28:38
    two faces, essentially a good cop and a
  • 00:28:40
    bad cop. And I think that's a great take
  • 00:28:42
    on it. The first sign was when Kamla
  • 00:28:45
    gave basically an anime villain speech
  • 00:28:46
    at the Democratic National
  • 00:28:54
    Convention. And then they refused to
  • 00:28:56
    allow even a vetted Palestinian official
  • 00:28:58
    to speak. She kept silencing anti-
  • 00:29:00
    genocide protesters at her rallies. She
  • 00:29:03
    starts talking about fracking, barely
  • 00:29:05
    missions social issues, begins
  • 00:29:07
    campaigning with Liz Cheney. The whole
  • 00:29:09
    thing really said a lot about who the
  • 00:29:10
    Democrats are and that they think the
  • 00:29:12
    left link of their supporters can just
  • 00:29:13
    be ignored and that popular policy
  • 00:29:15
    stance is like ending the genocide and
  • 00:29:17
    Medicare for all were not useful enough
  • 00:29:19
    to run. So they ran Kamla as a moderate
  • 00:29:22
    Republican. On paper, she was basically
  • 00:29:24
    Mitt Romney. And I had to remind myself
  • 00:29:26
    in the aftermath that Kamla was the
  • 00:29:29
    first person to drop out the race in
  • 00:29:30
    2020. that she lacks really core guiding
  • 00:29:34
    principles as a politician other than
  • 00:29:36
    wanting to win. This is the case in her
  • 00:29:38
    incredibly inconsistent time as a
  • 00:29:40
    district attorney followed by a sharp
  • 00:29:42
    leftward swing as a senator largely due
  • 00:29:44
    to the wave of progressive ideology
  • 00:29:47
    low-key engendered by Bernie Sanders.
  • 00:29:50
    And then when she became the vice
  • 00:29:51
    president, she basically disappeared.
  • 00:29:53
    Like you can't name me too many moments
  • 00:29:56
    of her as vice president that you
  • 00:29:57
    remember that impacts you in any
  • 00:29:59
    significant way. But then she came out
  • 00:30:01
    strong throwing coconuts and we're like,
  • 00:30:03
    "Oh [ __ ] it might happen." And then she
  • 00:30:06
    turns into Joseph Lieberman. That's who
  • 00:30:08
    Kla Harris is. I say Kla Harris is bad
  • 00:30:11
    because of her actions and her
  • 00:30:12
    affiliations, but in truth, I can't
  • 00:30:14
    really tell who Kla Harris is other than
  • 00:30:16
    who she's aligned herself with. Like a
  • 00:30:19
    bit of analysis on Biden's history, and
  • 00:30:21
    you know exactly who Joe Biden is. Shout
  • 00:30:23
    out to Elliot Sang did a great video
  • 00:30:25
    that I'll leave in the description. a
  • 00:30:27
    little analysis on Barack and you see
  • 00:30:28
    exactly why he had the problems he has.
  • 00:30:30
    I have two old videos about that that
  • 00:30:32
    nobody's watched, but feel free to check
  • 00:30:34
    it out in the channel. You don't have to
  • 00:30:36
    study Trump too much to see where he
  • 00:30:38
    stands. But Kamla probably as a
  • 00:30:40
    byproduct of being a successful black
  • 00:30:42
    woman in this space is a chameleon and
  • 00:30:45
    lacks any internal consistency to be
  • 00:30:47
    predictive other than she's going to do
  • 00:30:50
    what she thinks she's supposed to do as
  • 00:30:52
    told by the people with power over her.
  • 00:30:54
    And that's what happened in her
  • 00:30:55
    campaign. And it almost worked. It
  • 00:30:57
    almost worked. But even now, after
  • 00:31:00
    building that strong coalition, after
  • 00:31:02
    building that movement, she's been MIA.
  • 00:31:05
    The Democratic Party as a whole has no
  • 00:31:07
    leaders. What you got Chuck Schumer,
  • 00:31:10
    like y'all. Anyway, all that [ __ ] aside,
  • 00:31:13
    I want to again come back to the fact
  • 00:31:15
    that I voted for Kla Harris. I wanted
  • 00:31:18
    her to win cuz I didn't want to deal
  • 00:31:20
    with President Trump a second time. I am
  • 00:31:22
    not a principal leftist. I do not
  • 00:31:24
    believe the idea that there is
  • 00:31:26
    absolutely no difference between the two
  • 00:31:28
    parties when it comes to like most
  • 00:31:30
    people and how it impacts their lives.
  • 00:31:32
    Again, I know people right now applying
  • 00:31:35
    for unemployment because Donald Trump is
  • 00:31:38
    president. But I also don't end it there
  • 00:31:40
    or limit my political imagination to
  • 00:31:42
    whatever slop the Democrats trot out
  • 00:31:44
    every four years or get bamboozled, key
  • 00:31:47
    word there, into thinking that a shiny
  • 00:31:49
    new black face within the same structure
  • 00:31:52
    is going to somehow produce a different
  • 00:31:54
    result. When Democrats with actual
  • 00:31:56
    principles make it too far, they cheat
  • 00:31:57
    them out of their position like a Bernie
  • 00:31:59
    Sanders or they push them out of their
  • 00:32:01
    position like a Jamal Bowman. And then
  • 00:32:03
    they'll install crooks like Eric Adams
  • 00:32:05
    to shuck and jive in our face and make
  • 00:32:07
    us think that something is happening
  • 00:32:09
    when it's not. Black folks watching,
  • 00:32:11
    y'all know the term all skin folk and
  • 00:32:13
    kinfolk. But I think we need to update
  • 00:32:16
    that a little bit because I feel like
  • 00:32:17
    people don't realize that the most
  • 00:32:20
    dangerous black folks, the most
  • 00:32:22
    dangerous folks that look like us, they
  • 00:32:24
    don't talk like Candace Owens. They
  • 00:32:26
    don't align themselves with Republicans.
  • 00:32:28
    If you know anything about black
  • 00:32:29
    conservatives, they don't really exist
  • 00:32:30
    in black spaces too tough. They just
  • 00:32:32
    don't. All the black Republicans that
  • 00:32:34
    the Republican party trots out to be
  • 00:32:36
    talking heads to launder their [ __ ]
  • 00:32:38
    they don't ever represent majority black
  • 00:32:40
    districts. It's just not a thing that
  • 00:32:42
    happens. We don't really need to be
  • 00:32:43
    worried about Candace Owens. We need to
  • 00:32:45
    be worried about Jasmine Crockett. Is
  • 00:32:47
    Jasmine Crockett compromised? I don't
  • 00:32:49
    know. I'm just putting it out there. I
  • 00:32:51
    don't know if she is. I don't have no
  • 00:32:52
    shade for her in the moment other than
  • 00:32:53
    being a Democrat, but like she might be
  • 00:32:55
    one of the good ones, right? She fits
  • 00:32:57
    the image of what Democrats and the
  • 00:32:59
    system and these neoliberal fascists and
  • 00:33:02
    our administrators put out to us to make
  • 00:33:05
    us feel like something is happening when
  • 00:33:07
    it's not. We're quick to point and laugh
  • 00:33:10
    at like Tim Scott and Hershel Walker,
  • 00:33:13
    etc. Meanwhile, Jim Klyurn is doing dirt
  • 00:33:16
    in South Carolina for 30 years now
  • 00:33:18
    without anyone checking him on what he's
  • 00:33:21
    been doing. That's how they play us.
  • 00:33:23
    Black folks complain about how the
  • 00:33:25
    Democratic Party doesn't do anything for
  • 00:33:27
    black people, which is true. But it's
  • 00:33:29
    people like Jim Clyburn who make that
  • 00:33:32
    possible. His role, like most of these
  • 00:33:34
    folks, is to keep you voting while never
  • 00:33:36
    allowing you to demand more for what
  • 00:33:39
    your vote is worth. They've been pulling
  • 00:33:40
    this on us since Barack and really
  • 00:33:42
    before then. And if you don't recognize
  • 00:33:44
    that trick, they're going to keep doing
  • 00:33:46
    it until they get all of our freedoms
  • 00:33:48
    and rights in a bag that they're going
  • 00:33:50
    to burn on the White House law. It may
  • 00:33:52
    feel like I'm going hard here, but it's
  • 00:33:54
    because I need to be clear and honest. I
  • 00:33:57
    hit my power level a little
  • 00:33:59
    bit because I understand that my
  • 00:34:02
    audience is going to be mostly made up
  • 00:34:04
    of people that I will, for lack of
  • 00:34:05
    better word, describe as normal, who are
  • 00:34:08
    maybe left-leaning, maybe communism
  • 00:34:10
    curious and want to dabble further to
  • 00:34:13
    see what that looks like. Right? Despite
  • 00:34:15
    what your favorite yappers on TikTok
  • 00:34:17
    will have you think, we are not going to
  • 00:34:19
    have a big coalition of leftists without
  • 00:34:21
    pulling in people who are amenable to
  • 00:34:23
    our cause and beliefs. And we have to
  • 00:34:26
    learn how to talk to those people. Sorry
  • 00:34:28
    if that offends you. If that offends my
  • 00:34:30
    further left audience, those folks who
  • 00:34:32
    are attempting to grow a broader leftist
  • 00:34:35
    movement with their 300 people in their
  • 00:34:37
    Discord server who argue over which
  • 00:34:39
    mustache European guy is the most
  • 00:34:41
    important leftist Pokemon to start the
  • 00:34:43
    revolution with. I'm sorry. You can go
  • 00:34:46
    watch Yugopnik or something like that
  • 00:34:48
    was probably a little shady, but like no
  • 00:34:50
    shade intended for Yugopnik. He makes
  • 00:34:51
    really good videos. Shout out to the
  • 00:34:53
    many creators to my left who make
  • 00:34:55
    educational content. is a nice like list
  • 00:34:59
    of some further left than me channels
  • 00:35:02
    that you should check out. I'll leave
  • 00:35:04
    them in the description. They will
  • 00:35:06
    provide more explicit, more in-depth and
  • 00:35:08
    better informed videos on leftist
  • 00:35:10
    politics than I can. If you really care
  • 00:35:13
    about these things, if you really are
  • 00:35:15
    communism curious, as I just said, you
  • 00:35:18
    need to be checking them out. I'm just
  • 00:35:19
    an entry point, a useful one, a hype
  • 00:35:21
    man, if you will. Again, shout out to
  • 00:35:22
    Yugapnik. My hope is that one day I'll
  • 00:35:26
    be too much of a dirty lib that the
  • 00:35:29
    leftist YouTube space will have nothing
  • 00:35:31
    for me and I won't be able to get a
  • 00:35:32
    single subscriber because my basic and
  • 00:35:35
    moderate takes on dialectical
  • 00:35:37
    materialism are just too mundane and
  • 00:35:40
    boring for of all the uber based
  • 00:35:42
    communist bros out there that make up
  • 00:35:45
    those audiences. But that's that's not
  • 00:35:47
    the case. I'm pretty sure by the time
  • 00:35:49
    you see this I'll have hit a million
  • 00:35:50
    subscribers. And I'm not pointing that
  • 00:35:52
    out to brag, but I'm pointing that out
  • 00:35:53
    to show us what the landscape actually
  • 00:35:56
    looks like because I'm not a political
  • 00:35:58
    activist or a leader. I'm a creator. I'm
  • 00:36:01
    an entertainer at my best. I'm an
  • 00:36:03
    edutainer and I'm good at that. And
  • 00:36:05
    that's what most of you are here for.
  • 00:36:08
    But I need y'all to understand that as
  • 00:36:10
    much as I do, and I think a lot of
  • 00:36:12
    people don't. The homie Lil just put a
  • 00:36:15
    post up the other day and made a a great
  • 00:36:17
    point. and he pointed out that well over
  • 00:36:19
    a year ago he made a video with his
  • 00:36:21
    explicit and exact beliefs and plans
  • 00:36:24
    like strategies for building a better
  • 00:36:26
    society and political movement. It was
  • 00:36:28
    really good and nobody [ __ ] watched
  • 00:36:30
    it. It is by far his worst performing
  • 00:36:32
    video like you know per capita since he
  • 00:36:35
    emerged on the YouTube leftwing scene.
  • 00:36:38
    When I made a video last year for
  • 00:36:40
    students protesting the genocide in
  • 00:36:42
    Palestine that were on college campuses
  • 00:36:44
    last year, I got 150,000 views in that
  • 00:36:46
    video. When I made a video a few years
  • 00:36:48
    ago where I interviewed a local activist
  • 00:36:50
    about Cop City in Atlanta, I got less
  • 00:36:53
    than 150,000 views on that video. Diddy
  • 00:36:55
    breakdown video, 3 million views in two
  • 00:36:58
    months. I'm not mad. I just I need y'all
  • 00:37:00
    to see what I see cuz some of y'all be
  • 00:37:02
    in my comment section acting like you
  • 00:37:04
    don't [ __ ] have eyes. Videos about
  • 00:37:06
    practice do not get viewed. Channels
  • 00:37:09
    that are purely dedicated to education
  • 00:37:11
    do not get subscribers. And it's not
  • 00:37:14
    just the algorithm because as you know
  • 00:37:16
    the algorithm is a reflection of the
  • 00:37:18
    audience. And despite what Kendrick
  • 00:37:20
    said, the revolution will not be
  • 00:37:22
    televised or for that matter live
  • 00:37:24
    stream. Not until I reach 2 million
  • 00:37:26
    subscribers. That's right y'all. At 2
  • 00:37:28
    million subs, all channel members and
  • 00:37:31
    patrons get exclusive access to the
  • 00:37:33
    Revolution live stream at a later date
  • 00:37:35
    to be determined. Make sure you follow
  • 00:37:37
    me on Twitter and Instagram for updates
  • 00:37:39
    about this special event that I'm going
  • 00:37:40
    to do as soon as I get enough clout and
  • 00:37:43
    money. At that point, it is on. Like,
  • 00:37:47
    share, and subscribe. I'm obviously
  • 00:37:48
    joking. And I'm like, honestly, I'm not
  • 00:37:51
    mad. I'm annoyed, but I'm not mad. I
  • 00:37:54
    know the wager at play here. I knew it
  • 00:37:57
    pretty early on. I figured it out after
  • 00:38:00
    I made [ __ ] the police that even though
  • 00:38:03
    that video was something I was really
  • 00:38:06
    proud of, it was immediately essentially
  • 00:38:09
    an act of counterinsurgency to think of
  • 00:38:12
    it as a bigger thing than it actually
  • 00:38:14
    was, which was a really entertaining
  • 00:38:16
    video that hopefully educated some
  • 00:38:19
    people on the prison industrial complex.
  • 00:38:21
    But after that video, even though I put
  • 00:38:22
    experts in that video, like BP, the
  • 00:38:25
    editor of this video, actually worked
  • 00:38:27
    with the organization called Fight Toxic
  • 00:38:28
    Prisons to shut down prisons literally
  • 00:38:31
    across the country, or Olay, who is a
  • 00:38:34
    well-known abolitionist in New York, or
  • 00:38:37
    Tulac, who has written about this in his
  • 00:38:39
    work. People were reaching out to me as
  • 00:38:42
    an expert on abolition, and I am not.
  • 00:38:46
    But that's how clout works. And I need
  • 00:38:49
    y'all to understand this. It's not just
  • 00:38:52
    me. All of your favorite big ticket,
  • 00:38:56
    bigname creators, we are not activists.
  • 00:38:59
    We are not leaders. We are not
  • 00:39:01
    revolutionaries. We are entertainers
  • 00:39:03
    first and anything else second. I
  • 00:39:06
    managed to sneak in important things
  • 00:39:08
    hopefully to spark a match in everything
  • 00:39:10
    I put out there. But the real work does
  • 00:39:12
    not happen on my channel page. It
  • 00:39:14
    happens outside. In that first
  • 00:39:16
    post-election video, which currently
  • 00:39:18
    sits at over one million views today,
  • 00:39:20
    shout out to me, I asked at the end for
  • 00:39:23
    people to touch grass. Whether you
  • 00:39:25
    disagreed with my logic and analysis or
  • 00:39:27
    not, I have to ask, did you at least get
  • 00:39:29
    active? Have you went to a meeting
  • 00:39:31
    online or offline, attended a seminar,
  • 00:39:34
    donated some money, even just cleaned up
  • 00:39:36
    your neighborhood, met your neighbors?
  • 00:39:38
    All of those things are actual important
  • 00:39:41
    vectors of resistance. Have you done
  • 00:39:44
    them? Or are you just watching me? Or
  • 00:39:47
    Hassan or Noah or foreign man? Or insert
  • 00:39:52
    there's always like a guy with a
  • 00:39:54
    mustache that looks like this. One of
  • 00:39:56
    these dudes. The pinned comment in that
  • 00:39:58
    video has 200 comments of people talking
  • 00:40:01
    about their organizing efforts, talk
  • 00:40:02
    about talking about the organizations.
  • 00:40:04
    You can still go there. I'm going to put
  • 00:40:06
    a document in this description that
  • 00:40:08
    specifically tells you ways to resist
  • 00:40:10
    that aren't voting or related to going
  • 00:40:12
    to a protest and watching YouTube videos
  • 00:40:15
    is not on it. Content consumption is not
  • 00:40:18
    practice. The people that have the most
  • 00:40:20
    to add to these conversations cannot get
  • 00:40:23
    people to watch their videos because the
  • 00:40:26
    space in which this exists does not
  • 00:40:29
    include people that are that interested
  • 00:40:31
    in actually changing things. That's why
  • 00:40:33
    I think my role is important because I'm
  • 00:40:36
    hoping that I can provide enough good
  • 00:40:38
    propaganda to increase that amount just
  • 00:40:41
    a little bit with every video. This may
  • 00:40:43
    be myopic. I'm willing to update this
  • 00:40:45
    take. And I've talked to people that
  • 00:40:47
    feel otherwise. There's maybe ways that
  • 00:40:49
    one day we could harness the power of
  • 00:40:51
    influence to do more than what I'm doing
  • 00:40:54
    right now. But from where I stand at the
  • 00:40:56
    moment, consecration for politics is
  • 00:40:59
    dangerous. It's why my videos have
  • 00:41:01
    gotten less overtly political in the
  • 00:41:03
    last year or two. I personally feel like
  • 00:41:05
    stand culture and winning internet
  • 00:41:06
    battles is way too important to people
  • 00:41:09
    as opposed to changing culture and
  • 00:41:12
    winning freedom. And I think that's
  • 00:41:14
    because a lot of people that watch me
  • 00:41:16
    and all these other creators are not
  • 00:41:18
    leftists, they're leftist fans. And that
  • 00:41:21
    is a difference. To wrap up, I realize
  • 00:41:25
    now that I was struggling with like a
  • 00:41:27
    thing as I made that video that I didn't
  • 00:41:30
    fully understand until the video was
  • 00:41:32
    already done. It's just how it is
  • 00:41:33
    sometimes. When I was looking at the
  • 00:41:35
    criticism and looking at what I actually
  • 00:41:37
    had to say, I was really stuck wondering
  • 00:41:39
    to myself, why did I feel the need to
  • 00:41:42
    make that video in the first place? Why
  • 00:41:44
    point out something as obvious and
  • 00:41:45
    simple as identity politics in the first
  • 00:41:47
    place when that is obvious but maybe
  • 00:41:50
    less obvious than I thought people
  • 00:41:52
    understood but whatever. Why was it
  • 00:41:54
    important to me to let people know that
  • 00:41:55
    Kamla's laws wasn't because of leftists
  • 00:41:58
    but of regular old racists and moderates
  • 00:42:01
    and people who are apathetic to
  • 00:42:03
    politics? What I realize now is that I
  • 00:42:06
    was just simply very frustrated. I was
  • 00:42:09
    frustrated that we're doing all this
  • 00:42:10
    talking about geopolitics and
  • 00:42:12
    environmental policy and economics. And
  • 00:42:14
    at the end of the day, what mattered the
  • 00:42:16
    most, as far as I can tell, was
  • 00:42:19
    anti-trans political ads. And I'm not
  • 00:42:21
    the first person to say that. Those ads
  • 00:42:23
    saying Kamla is for they them, Trump is
  • 00:42:25
    for you, did big numbers with normal
  • 00:42:28
    Americans. And until we address what
  • 00:42:32
    normal Americans think, I don't know
  • 00:42:34
    what we're doing. I also realized I was
  • 00:42:36
    annoyed with how much the online left
  • 00:42:38
    imitates stand culture with no
  • 00:42:40
    self-awareness of this fact. Like some
  • 00:42:43
    of these fan bases for different leftist
  • 00:42:46
    communities, even communities I [ __ ]
  • 00:42:48
    with, act more like the barbs than they
  • 00:42:50
    do the red guard. And they don't realize
  • 00:42:52
    it. And they don't realize it because we
  • 00:42:55
    are in a bubble. bubbles that according
  • 00:42:58
    to research are not exactly shrinking,
  • 00:43:00
    but are not very big compared to the
  • 00:43:03
    counterpart right-wing spaces that we're
  • 00:43:05
    competing against, not just for eyeballs
  • 00:43:08
    and AdSense, but for ideas and political
  • 00:43:11
    power. A recent study just showed that
  • 00:43:14
    right-wing media demonstrabably
  • 00:43:15
    dominates the media sphere. I knew this
  • 00:43:18
    for years, but I feel like those who are
  • 00:43:20
    within this space, not as creators, but
  • 00:43:22
    as consumers, don't quite get just how
  • 00:43:25
    far behind we are in terms of spreading
  • 00:43:27
    ideas because you all are over here and
  • 00:43:29
    you like us. And I appreciate that. But
  • 00:43:32
    if you're watching me, right, you
  • 00:43:34
    probably are also getting Tik Toks and
  • 00:43:36
    Instagram reals about regretful Trump
  • 00:43:39
    voters and, oh no, ICE arrested my wife
  • 00:43:42
    and I'm on Medicaid and Trump is going
  • 00:43:44
    to take it and the lepers eat my face.
  • 00:43:46
    Right? And I get it. I watch those
  • 00:43:48
    videos. I love a lot of them. Shout out
  • 00:43:50
    to Franchesca Ramsay. But understand,
  • 00:43:52
    sure, these things are happening and
  • 00:43:54
    like they're real, but they don't
  • 00:43:56
    represent the reality of the situation.
  • 00:43:59
    Trump just recently had his highest
  • 00:44:01
    approval rating ever as a president in
  • 00:44:03
    all his years of being president. Right
  • 00:44:05
    now, he is rated the highest he's ever
  • 00:44:08
    been. He's not over 50%, mind you,
  • 00:44:10
    showing that he is not and has never
  • 00:44:12
    been popular, but he's more popular now
  • 00:44:14
    than any other time in his political
  • 00:44:16
    career. And one of the main reasons he's
  • 00:44:18
    so popular is that 56% of Americans
  • 00:44:21
    approve with what he's been doing with
  • 00:44:24
    immigration. 56% of Americans are okay
  • 00:44:27
    with the police state he's erecting
  • 00:44:29
    around this country with ICE, that there
  • 00:44:31
    are soldiers in masks running into
  • 00:44:34
    elementary schools to snatch up young
  • 00:44:36
    children. That's the country we live in.
  • 00:44:39
    That's the challenge ahead of us. That's
  • 00:44:42
    the reality outside of our bubble. The
  • 00:44:45
    irony is that the American left is
  • 00:44:47
    bigger and more powerful than it's ever
  • 00:44:48
    been probably in like 50 years. But in
  • 00:44:51
    that time frame, the right-wing has run
  • 00:44:54
    up the score something serious. We are
  • 00:44:57
    way far behind right now. So far behind
  • 00:45:00
    that we couldn't get a moderate
  • 00:45:02
    Republican elected because they had a
  • 00:45:04
    uterus and too much melanin. so far
  • 00:45:06
    behind that the average American who
  • 00:45:09
    voted went for the adjudicated sex pest
  • 00:45:12
    felon. That's where we are right now. It
  • 00:45:15
    doesn't mean we shouldn't keep fighting
  • 00:45:16
    to quote Lacricia McVal dumerism is just
  • 00:45:19
    privileged people giving themselves
  • 00:45:21
    permission to give up. But we do need to
  • 00:45:23
    recognize that we have to step our game
  • 00:45:25
    up that we have way more to do outside
  • 00:45:28
    of arguing in comment sections and that
  • 00:45:30
    we need to step outside of our media
  • 00:45:31
    bubbles in order to get that work done.
  • 00:45:34
    And no, although it sounds like it, I am
  • 00:45:36
    not transitioning to an ad for ground
  • 00:45:39
    news. I am transitioning to an ad for
  • 00:45:42
    Nebula. This video is actually sponsored
  • 00:45:44
    by me and my streaming service, Nebula.
  • 00:45:46
    Last year, I started working on a video
  • 00:45:49
    somewhat related to this topic, but
  • 00:45:50
    specifically with the goal of analyzing
  • 00:45:52
    the concept of what it means to be white
  • 00:45:55
    in America. And when I was done with the
  • 00:45:57
    writing and the interviews, I realized
  • 00:45:59
    it was too good that I need to try to
  • 00:46:01
    make it bigger than what a YouTube video
  • 00:46:03
    could be. So, I talked to Nebula and
  • 00:46:05
    we're now in the planning process to see
  • 00:46:06
    what this could be in the future. But in
  • 00:46:08
    the meantime, I put parts of its
  • 00:46:10
    original scope together for my latest
  • 00:46:12
    piece of Nebula original content,
  • 00:46:14
    Talking to White People. Talking to
  • 00:46:15
    White People is a short documentary
  • 00:46:16
    where I explore the concept of being
  • 00:46:18
    white with a variety of different
  • 00:46:19
    creators who are white. And it's gotten
  • 00:46:22
    a ton of positive feedback. I've had
  • 00:46:23
    people email me about putting it on
  • 00:46:25
    YouTube because they want everyone to
  • 00:46:27
    see it even in its limited format, but
  • 00:46:29
    that's just not going to happen cuz I
  • 00:46:30
    need to be as successful as possible on
  • 00:46:32
    Nebula to push hopefully to bigger and
  • 00:46:34
    better things because that's what we're
  • 00:46:36
    doing on Nebula right now. Some of you
  • 00:46:37
    might know Nebula as a streaming service
  • 00:46:39
    where some of YouTube's best creators
  • 00:46:41
    house unfiltered content. But recently,
  • 00:46:43
    Nebula has been focusing more on seeing
  • 00:46:45
    exactly what these talented creators can
  • 00:46:47
    do when they have more resources and
  • 00:46:50
    support. And thus, Nebula has went from
  • 00:46:51
    just a YouTubriven streaming service to
  • 00:46:54
    an independent production company. And
  • 00:46:55
    along with my new project, Talking to
  • 00:46:57
    White People, we also have full
  • 00:46:59
    documentaries from Tom Nicholas where he
  • 00:47:00
    examines how the baby boomer generation
  • 00:47:02
    and other older people are affecting the
  • 00:47:05
    world. We also have short films from
  • 00:47:07
    Jesse Jinder and Philosophy Tube,
  • 00:47:08
    reality shows featuring a bevo creators,
  • 00:47:10
    travel shows, even narrative podcasts,
  • 00:47:13
    as well as content from legendary
  • 00:47:14
    creators like Lindsay Ellis, Jacob
  • 00:47:15
    Geller, and real life lore that can't be
  • 00:47:18
    found on YouTube. Everyone at Nebula
  • 00:47:20
    right now is scrambling to put things
  • 00:47:21
    together to see how far we can take our
  • 00:47:24
    talent now that we have this type of
  • 00:47:26
    support behind us. So, I want to expand
  • 00:47:28
    this really dope short film into a much
  • 00:47:30
    bigger project. And the only way I can
  • 00:47:31
    do that is if you all watch. And the
  • 00:47:33
    only way to watch is you to sign up to
  • 00:47:35
    Nebula right now. Because Nebula is
  • 00:47:37
    independent. We're not partnered with
  • 00:47:38
    Google or some other big company. We're
  • 00:47:40
    not ran or owned by venture capitalists
  • 00:47:42
    or tech weirdos. We only make money from
  • 00:47:44
    when you click the link in the
  • 00:47:46
    description and sign up. That's what
  • 00:47:48
    keeps us kicking and we duly appreciate
  • 00:47:49
    it. So, please follow the link in the
  • 00:47:51
    description, sign up for Nebula right
  • 00:47:52
    now, watch my new short, help me
  • 00:47:54
    continue this journey to make bigger and
  • 00:47:56
    better things along with my partners in
  • 00:47:57
    Nebula. Thank you so much for watching.
  • 00:47:59
    Thank you to Neb supporting the video
  • 00:48:01
    and peace.
