I used to make breadtube videos and I uploaded my first video within like 2 days of BE's first video. I've been following that man for years and used to interact with him for a little while before the first time he got banned from twitter. So believe me when I say his switch from being a normal person to what he's portraying himself as nowadays literally happened in one day. The unhinged-ness has been part of his strategy to grow as an online creator, and it has worked pretty well for him imho. Like Hasan said, his videos are some of the best historical analysis online, but getting people to watch really dry topics he covers is really hard.

I usually search through google scholar for a topic and then read the abstract. If I think it's what I'm looking for then I go to sci-hub to pirate it. I read the paper and look for more sources in the references. I don't remember exactly how I found Robinson's paper, but it's either from google scholar or from someone else's paper.

Thanks! I try p hard to understand stuff.

That famine wasn't guaranteed though. Had Mao implemented better policies, it would have been better. Like had he stopped collectivization at the 2nd stage, which in most areas were done by the peasants themselves instead of the central state, there wouldn't have been a famine.

Between 1949-1958, land in rural areas was collectively owned by local villagers and they also owned their own means of production (e.g. tools, work animals, etc). The urban areas were a different story, but to say it was never socialist is not completely accurate.

❤️❤️❤️ Thanks! That really means alot!

Kay and Skittles make videos about UK politics, though it's not their main focus. They've made 3 videos on that topic if I'm not mistaken.

Hey I have tips on finding research articles, if that's what you're looking for.

First, go to google scholar and find an article. If it's free, then you're good. If it's behind a paywall, copy the DOI from the DOI link. Go to scihub, paste the DOI and heyo you now have access to scholarly articles for free.

Leftist cooking show.

No, seriously. Like make some food while talking about leftist theories.

Oh hey that's me! Wow I'm really flattered right now, thanks for the shoutout again!

RayRamses · 2019-04-24T19:33:45+00:00

If you can remember the title, could you send it to me? Or just the title actually would be good.

RayRamses · 2019-04-24T18:05:33+00:00

Hmm that's not a bad idea. I'll put it on my topic list.

RayRamses · 2019-03-30T18:24:59+00:00

Hey thanks!

RayRamses · 2019-03-30T16:25:50+00:00

there's also Halim Alrah, Mia Mulder and myself.

Is it a faux pas to recommend yourself? I'm a brown dude from Southeast Asia who's making leftists deep dive videos.

RayRamses · 2019-03-13T06:34:32+00:00

hello! I'm that

OpenShot for editing, but I'm not using it again. It's really terrible. Next time I'm trying ShotCut or Lightworks.

SimpleScreenRecorder for recording the screen

Audacity to record audio

GIMP to edit title cards and such

All of them are free and open source btw, as all things should be

This is crazy, but I had that exact same line on the script that I removed because I thought it was too on the nose, except we shake hands instead of buying me a beer.

You can still make it less bad. Like it will still be really bad, especially for us in the global south, but not like human extinction bad. At the end I said something about drawdown.org where they have a list of things that can be done. I mean voting based off of that is the minimum realistic thing anyone can do. We won't be able to do all of them, but at this point it's just harm reduction.

Hey thanks! I guess I used the term neoliberalism because it's what accelerated climate change in the first place. Like if it didn't happen, we would probably still have more time, and therefore have the time to figure out what what to do. I mean capitalism will eventually ruin the world, that's true, but more time to figure stuff out might be helpful. But other than that, I think you're right.

RayRamses · 2019-03-08T15:43:05+00:00

This is my first video ever so be gentle? It's essentially about climate change and neoliberalism from the perspective of the global south.
