I know it can be hard to watch a video essay let alone one recommened by some weirdo online, but this video is high quality, not lib and a newer channel that’s putting out some decent Marxist stuff and could use a view bump. It’s earned.

    With that disclaimer, I was worried it was going to be super long, but it’s only 35 minutes, and they fly by because she’s such a great communicator.

    Her channel description made me instantly subscribe:

    Socialist video essays connecting concepts like usability, cognitive science, the arts, disability, and philosophy to socialist history and theory.

    I’m a neurodivergent queer Marxist with a master’s degree in human factors/human-computer interaction, a bachelor’s in cognitive science, and a dream (a stateless, classless, moneyless society after a socialist transition period). Come join me in imagining a better world for everyone!

    Hell yeah!

    Thank you for the recommendation!

      Nothing makes me feel older than how much content on the internet these days is video. Bring back blog posts, man. Let me read your thoughts. I know this is mostly a symptom of monetization practices, video is much more lucrative, but I dislike it so much.

        sometimes i really just want a searchable tidbit of information that was usually in a longer blog post. video makes it so annoying to find and parse information.

        i’m not even counting all the ceremony that has to be made of it (ads, long winded intros, begging for interaction, announcements every video yadda yadda yadda)
