While I like many of the more heavily ideological videos I see, I also feel like we aren't reaching people who want to relax. A lot of propaganda but not enough unity between that and the people to conduct proper agitation based on current events. I feel like we float above sometimes but we should immerse ourselves in the common people and try to create a social media

    If we apply a ruthless critique of all that exists, including our platform, I think we find that in the eyes of the common person we do not afford a beneficial enough plan for maintaining the economic standing of the individual in the short term, and that we have been neglecting leisure. We need stuff that is fun! Things that makes people wanna build camaraderie and then socialism with each-other. Places for socialist discourse, for pacifism and revolutionary defeatism, places to develop genuine social connections.

    I'm a younger guy just entering the workforce, and having read a lot of theory I have to confess that most of my leisure time has been spent watching Youtube. I've found it to be a nice bit of recreation. I also believe the platform as it stands is a horrific mutation of the original aim rife with problems. I mainly wanna discuss maybe what is an ideal or utopic version of a free instant media platform? does such a thing exist? is there an opportunity for agitation and propaganda towards a socialist direction in the present Youtube landscape? I see a vast and stark push of Heideggeran anti-humanist thought controlled mostly by AI now
