When conservatives or right leaning parties cannot win in a democracy with a free market of ideas, they Institute facism/dictatorships… every time
Good video, terrifying content

I guess I like her point, but the up front ads for another one of these lenders for debt is bull.
What’s with the thumbnail? Videos with thumbnails like this are a sure fire way to get me to not watch it.
It’s how YouTube content creators get recognized unfortunately. They gotta market themselves alongside their material, else they don’t get a following. Nature of the beast. I hate it too.
I kinda figured as much. I’m sure the content is fine on the vast majority of them but when I used to use YouTube as a form of entertainment those types of videos were not my cup of tea. Perhaps there is data to suggest we are outliers.
There’s an extension that makes all YT thumbnails generic stills from the video. I think it is called deArrow?
It’s the presenter in the video.
That was my assumption but I was more wondering if there is research that shows this style is attention grabbing or yields more clicks or something.
It’s incredibly normal that the thumbnail is the presenter in the video.
Yes, I am aware.
Edit: y’all are ridiculous.

Yes, yes I am. Most videos like with thumbnails like that aren’t great. They do what YouTube tells them to get clicks.
Do not question. Only consume.
I have literally never watched her videos because all the thumbnails are cringy.
Besides I’d rather not watch a content creator that bends over backwards for youtube’s algorithm.
Careful, you’ll get shit on for voicing that opinion in this post.
IDC If people think YouTube’s algorithm is better at quantifying quality content then themselves maybe we are lost.
It maybe isn’t for the viewers but if the channel is her job then obviously she’s going to do what will make her get more viewers and hence more money.
Sounds like being a boot licker with extra steps.
YouTube is cancer. They have made this the way you get content and likes. Creators spend hours trying to get a proper thumbnail since it has such a huge impact.
Basically YouTube demands clickbait now.
Well, a county, not the country. Would be nice to specify what country of the similar 200 in the world that you’re talking about in the title, you know? It’s not like we all assume you must be talking about one special country.
The conservative party has literally been running my country for over a decade now, so they’re probably not talking about my country xD One ruled out, 194 to go…
I mean, just looking at the thumbnail I see American politicians in front of an American flag. I think we can all agree that the country specified is pretty simple to figure out.
Super fucking obvious unless you have a chip on your shoulder.
It’s also worth adding that the Conservative Party of several countries are vastly different. While most lean towards the right by nature, many left-leaning parties in one would probably be right-leaning in others, and as such would be totally different entities.
Yeah no shit, conservatives want to “take over the country” just like liberals do, that has always been the goal. Water is wet.
This isn’t supposed to be politics community, why is this here?

I didn’t know CHAZ was right wing. TIL.
Lol, says the liberals. Consider the source.

And again, consider the source. Go back to sleep, kiddo.
Liberals dont want to “take over the country” they want to win elections. Big fucking difference.
What difference? Winning all the elections means you have taken over the country.
The difference is one wants to be in power because they have popular support the other wants to be in power because they have power.
Lookup independent state legislature theory as a recent example of how Republican politicians really don’t care about democracy in the slightest.
Allowing yourself to think that one party is “good” and the other party is “bad” just feeds into their fiction that keeps the duopoly in place. Make no mistake; Democrats WANT Republicans there, then they have a Boogeyman to point at when they don’t get anything done. And of course Republicans want the Dems there for the same reason.
Oh, I don’t believe one party is good and the other is bad. I don’t think any party is good.
What I know is that the Republican party is off the rails.
Do the Democrats have issues? Oh yeah.
But do they have systemic issues in their party to the point where they’re throwing out their own house speaker for daring to come across the isle to keep the federal government open? No.
Has one party been trying to reduce gerrymandering which is pointedly for politicians and against the people? Yes, the Democrats, in many states (I’ll give you New York was an exception to that trend). Meanwhile the Republicans in Ohio laughed at our state supreme court when it tried to enforce the intent of the 2016 (?) constitutional amendment requiring fair maps in the face of a completely partisan map.
Or what about that whole Ukrainian issue? Which party is trying to cut off or “reconsider” aid to a country butting up against some of our closest allies in eastern Europe? Ding ding ding, the Republicans. Which party’s president got impeached for trying to extort Ukraine to help them in an election or else they wouldn’t get weapons? Yup, that was Trump, a Republican.
Which party was Larry Householder, a now convicted felon for accepting a bribe a member of? Right again, Republican.
Which party wants to impose a national abortion ban on the county that can’t seem to get medical professionals opinions through their thick skulls? Right again, the Republican party. And I’m not even talking about “abortion” I’m talking about “your wife is about to die unless they abort the baby.” The Republicans, despite what they’re saying, keep writing “no exceptions” abortion bans which, god forbid if your wife, sister, cousin, etc were ever in that position, they’d have the doctors let your wife die or send the doctor to jail for saving her.
Which party passed an infrastructure bill overhauling crumbling infrastructure to keep our roads, bridges, and power lines functioning along with improving an expanding rail transit and Internet access for rural communities? The Democrats. Which party failed? The Republicans. What did they do instead and what was their only major legislative accomplishment in four years? They passed a tax break that expired for the middle class (IIRC) this year while simultaneously passing a tax break for large corporations and billionaires with no expiration date.
It’s not about some feverent following. It’s about the Republican politicians being completely incompetent at governance.
An the award for oversimplification goes too
Lemmy is lefty. Lies, gaslighting, and generally evil shit us their bag.
