why is this downvoted? was it spammed or off topic or something?
im a human and i watched it and upvoted it
Would like to know too, maybe they just read the title and disagree?
Most of the downvotes came from off-instance accounts, so perhaps drive-by downvotes?
But it's possible some of the downvotes are from people only reading the post body description "why i left the left the left the left", which makes it seem like could be a right-wing video without watching it.
Ah yes, the body text could be misleading
Because there are conservatives on Lemmy.
Could you put it on Peertube?
I don't think it's cool to put someone elses videos on another platform...
Sorry, I assumed yours and haven't seen it yet.
I agree that that isn't cool... But I also think we should be making an effort to get more video resources up onto non-YouTube sites.
Ah haha. Should it be marked clearly that it is not mine? I assumed it's obvious
I sometimes commenr or DM creators, but I think they find it somewhat annoying.
In this video, Alice Capelle adresses some of the points why (leftist) creators use platforms like YT, instagram etc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuZgTAW1QvA I see the point, but I don't think they would lose viewership postig on YT and other platforms at the same time...
Seeing lefifts (according to 'Murican definitions) slowly reaching the conclusion that they need to stop being cunts gives me a little bit of hope for maybe a change in fifty years back away from unironical Nazism.
Should've happened twenty years ago, but better realize now than never.
It's almost overwhelmingly US leftists, the ingrained moral puritainism in that country leaks out in fucking weird ways.
What are you talking about exactly?
Liberals you mean? What conclusions have they reached?
One comment mentions it and I agree with it. The internet is conservative because leftists are actually touching grass, organising, building communities, alternatives... This is just something you can't see on the mainstream internet, but all of the alternative internet is leftist.
This is Sports as a Weapon and InRangeTV. This is exactly what Tactical Girlfriend does. Anarchists and those who are close have been doing this FOR YEARS. Just stop ignoring us and listen to us.
Edit: I'm so sick of liberals erasing all of our work and then "coming up with a great strategy" that's exactly the one we've been trying to get them to follow for almost a decade.
Edit: also, this is almost entirely the wrong take. Fash dump insane amounts of money in to brainwashing and the burning of the 3rd precinct was more popular than either political party. One fucking Luigi and their whole machine exploded in their face. The take away is that they are really fragile and really bad at this shit. We should celebrate and keep pushing.
You know what would help a lot? If liberals stopped fucking over leftists all the time. Just listen to anarchists instead of erasing us!
Edit: ffs.
looks funny, added to que and subscribed
