1 year agoAccurate news is only accessible to people who can read it. And sadly, a majority of the US lacks the literacy skills to do that. Additionally, voter suppression in the US is becoming increasingly common with some nonprofits seeing the US becoming less democratic over time. Combine this with recent efforts to sabotage education even more, and it becomes unlikely that voting will meaningfully change anything.
To give a quick idea of what the video cares about, here’s the three longest segments in the video:
Fascism: 50 seconds
Nazism: 49 seconds in addition to the 50 seconds on fascism above
Liberalism: 30 seconds
Now let’s look at left wing ideologies:
Syndicalism: 26 seconds
Socialism: 22 seconds
Communism: 14 seconds
Anarchism: 13 seconds
There’s also a positive spin on imperialism and especially Nazism, and the only mention of Marxism is in the section on socialism. It’s that kind of fake “neutral” that really just promotes the far right.
