I’m quite fond of communism, personally.

  • The fact that damn near 100% of Latin Americans speak Spanish and are Catholic speaks to how thorough Spanish colonialism is. Hell, the fact that “Latin American” as a racial category even exists is a testament to their indigenous erasure. There’s so much Zionist apologia from Western powers about how Jews need a homeland to protect their religion and culture. Well, where’s the fervor for a Maya state? And a Muisca state? And a state for the dozens of other peoples that also suffered genocide at their hands?

    The damage caused by the Spanish empire is so extensive that reparations are never remotely entertained, or even fucking mentioned, because it would ruin smol bean Spain. And we can’t have that! Not Spain!!!














  • There are a lot of video essays on YouTube because that’s what YouTube’s policies encourage.

    • you can run more ads on long videos

    • low production value means essays can be produced regularly

    • one person can make them alone

    • they can be about popular topics without worrying about copyright (ideally)

    • other platforms are unlikely to steal these videos because they’re long, niche, and focused on a personality

      • and even if they do get stolen they serve as advertisements for the channel

    Having said all that, I wouldn’t point to video essays as a failure of capitalism. Try writing an essay yourself sometime, one that’s worth reading. It’s difficult work.
