Cambodia and Thailand are on the brink of war. To many in the West, this comes as a surprise, but here in Southeast Asia we have been watching events unfold for months. This is the full history and...
Yeah, I have to disagree. I had very little idea about all the history. Considering she covered two countries and over a century, I think the presentation was very concise.
I also believe that it all tied into the historical materialist argument she made overall, which would have been a lot less powerful if she’d only considered recent events.
Im sorry you can’t read faster than someone can speak but i can and I don’t want to sit there for 24 minutes to process information that can be read in a tenth the time
People do long ass videos for everything and it’s not because it’s better or more useful, it’s because social media algorithms have pushed it that way. Why be a petty journalist who writes simple articles when you can have your face in a video, enjoy pseudo celebrity, and get paid more for it?
I think your criticisms are valid and accurate in general, but I have to say I don’t think they work very well against this video.
I think it would have taken Johnny Harris two hour-long videos to cover all the information she did in 24 minutes, and of course his analysis would be CIA sewage
I personally can read faster than a video, but this format has some advantages like:
real human emotion to emphasize the important parts
more historical photos than I think would work in an article
getting to hear the local pronunciation for people and places
like it or not, it seems the majority of the human population prefers to get information over video. This one happens to be seasoned with class analysis throughout
The other poster was right, this is just knee-jerk entitlement, while making fun of someone not being able to read as quickly as you when you lack the critical thinking to change the video speed and thus make it not 24 minutes but ~12.
But you can posture that you’re being progressive, actually, because Luna should just be writing a newsletter despite its worse reach and you can’t just go and read a fucking newsletter, you need to go where someone posted not-a-newsletter and complain that this isn’t one. It’s petulant and absurd.
Lick my balls, sorry I don’t want literally everyone everywhere vlogging everything because I love having my eyes glued to a video all day every day
What was I calling petulant and absurd? Oh, right

No one is making you watch this video. No one has a gun to your head demanding you watch videos for news. Stop being such a fucking baby. This literally just isn’t for you and you’re acting like you’re therefore being put-upon, and digging your heels in further and further because I guess at this point it’s to embarrassing to acknowledge how senseless your rhetorical angle here is.
Incidentally, that’s not what “vlogging” is, even remotely, but you’re being incoherent anyway so I guess this is just another “flourish” on the pile of nonsensical “flourishes.”
Blocking you btw this isn’t the first time you’ve come at me with some shit, i remember you coming at me with some “oh nice freudian slip” genocide apologia accusation when you just couldn’t fuckinv understand my comment

Did you watch this specific video?

So if we landed on: most news video essays are trash but this one is actually good, then I think we are in complete agreement

I understood your comment perfectly and explained it, I was just making fun of you for using liberal rhetoric.
… Just speed up the video? Listen while you fold laundry or something? No one is forcing you to sit for 24 minutes
