Also if you told me 5 years ago that the nice musical Disney adult media criticism lady would end up further to the left of most of “breadtube” on…. Fucking genocide… yeah nah I wouldn’t have believed you yet here we are
Tl/dr for everyone too busy: The 2hr runtime is mostly used to show the link between rightwing Christian white supremacy (and American conservatism in general), antisemitism, and Israeli Zionism and how they fuel each other in exhaustive detail; and why the right attacks education and the concept of empathy as a necessary political component to lay the groundwork for genocide. There is a discussion of the Rwandan genocide as a case study.
I don’t think there’s much information in the video that’ll be new to leftists, although having everything all laid out in one place is pretty nice. If you’re looking for a more Marxist perspective you’ll be disappointed because there’s no mention of the role of Western Imperialism, but otherwise the video’s worst sin is a lot of caveats and hemming and hawing about Hamas and it’s actions on Oct 7th, which I think should be expected even if a little disappointing. (She just skirts the entire issue of Israel’s right to exist by… not addressing it.)
Send this to all the liberals in your life you haven’t/can’t ostracise for moral cowardice yet, in a last ditch attempt to appeal to their humanity.
Better late than never
