Checklist from the video:

Questions to ask before upholding an opinion:

  1. Where did this opinion come from?
  2. What institutions and media sources reinforced it?
  3. Who benefits from me holding this opinion?
  4. What would happen if this opinion was put into practice?
  5. What information am I being exposed to right now? Why now?
  6. Who is treated as an authority on this topic? Why?
  7. What is my position in all of this?
  8. What sources did you investigate?

Description:

So many Americans (and westerners in general) aren't aware that their opinions are just western chauvinism inculcated into them by superstructural propaganda that aims to uphold the economic base. This video discusses the Marxist approach to opinions, ideology, and political responsibility, along with western chauvinism and what it means to have political opinions about places that are under the superempire’s boot.
