== Motifs ==

<ol class="hue clean">
</li><li {{IS2/A/class}} value="618">The most liberating thing you can do is provide people information <ref name="te-u" />  ->  is that really true? it seems awfully easy for people to get information and have no idea what to do with it. I feel like sometimes you have to provide people with a really good, accurate theory of Marxist revolution and workers' movements before "information" can even do them any good.
</li><li {{IF2/LR/class}} value="618">Ideological differences are a choice / Any ideological difference is a <i>disagreement</i> in which people have chosen not to believe the same thing <ref name="at-z" />  ->  I really wish people would stop saying the word disagree in reference to any political issue. disagreeing and agreeing don't even happen in politics. what really happens is more like people existing as part of countable cultures in which they have to have certain beliefs to be part of them, and once they choose to have or not have particular friends there ceases to be a choice.
</li><li {{IS2/LR/class}} value="618">Identity politics is solipsistic / Identity politics is narcissistic<ref name="at-z" /> (center-Liberalism)  ->  almost true.
</li><li {{IF2/LR/class}} value="618">All the problems of the United States are because marginalized people do not ask for understanding in the correct ways <ref name="Lz-4" /> <ref name="at-z" />  ->  directly contradicted by all the times this channel realizes that most of these "discourses" end in "the other person wanting you dead" and how "you can't have a conversation with" that kind of person.
</li><li {{IF2/LR/class}} value="618">Tories secretly want to live in a pluralistic society <ref name="Lz-4" />  ->  rampant assumption in center-Liberalism that in reality seems not to be true.
</li><li {{IS2/ES/class}} value="618">Speech is not communication / Speech does not inherently achieve the goal of conveying understanding or education to another person just because someone says it <ref name="Lz-4" />  ->  true.
</li><li {{IS2/ES/class}} value="618">Language is a method for creating realizable fictions / Language is a method for sketching out ontologies (meta-Marxism) <ref name="Lz-4" />  ->  more or less. I wish people would learn the word "ontology" in the sense of plural ontological models which are not universal to everyone, but this isn't not true.
</li><li {{IS2/DG/class}} value="618">The opposite of disconnection with nature is embodiment  ->  how very schizoanalyst. some days I feel as if schizoanalysis is anarchism and some days I feel as if it's center-Liberalism. I'm not sure <em>it's</em> even sure what it is. (I also didn't quite learn from the video what embodiment is supposed to mean?)
</li><li {{IS1/Aa/class}} value="618">I made a promise to bell hooks
</li><li {{IS2/LR/class}} value="618">Creating startups is more important than switching to renewable energy <ref name="te-u" />  ->  sometimes looking at the descriptions of a channel's guests reveals everything. channel has on guest that is "designing environmentally-friendly solutions for businesses". guest is a small-to-medium business. channel casually says that "we can't solve the earth's problems by switching to something". implication is that businesses and having businesses sell products is more important than any particular policy goal — that <i>business intelligence</i> or <i>business expertise</i> or <i>the power of businesses as trained, learning Subjects with problem-solving capabilities</i> is the real solution to environmental problems. let me be perfectly frank: this woman is going to be replaced with a computer. I think this way of thinking is fueling AI.
</li><li {{IS2/ML/class}} value="618">Postcolonial theories are trojan horses for an all-petty-bourgeois civilization / Postcolonial theories are trojan horses for creating a petty-bourgeois civilization / Postcolonial theories are a way for the petty bourgeoisie to launder their absolute confidence in their own importance and claim possession over empires <ref name="te-u" />  ->  not the channel's position. but an obvious conclusion for Marxists.
</li><li {{IS2/ES/class}} value="618">"Just Stop Oil" is the competitor and enemy of postcolonial theories <ref name="te-u" />  ->  why do people think like this. if colonialism keeps going because we don't remember it and allow "greed", why wouldn't you stand together with a movement that has the ability to stop "greed"?
</li><li {{IS1/A/class}} value="618">anarchist tabula rasa <ref name="te-u" />
</li><li {{IS1/A/class}} value="618">according to who? <ref name="te-u" />  ->  the motif of Third World populations looking at incoming culture from other countries with skepticism and putting it in a pile to evaluate later. this is fine. for meta-Marxism, what resonates with me most is considering people as countable cultures that could be smaller than a country, but I relate to this in the sense of any particular countable culture of any size evaluating all other ideologies with an open mind but not immediately accepting what might not be [[Term:soundness|true]]; you can connect accuracy-to-reality back to the specific sense of oppression and the survival of Third World populations.
</li><li {{IS2/A/class}} value="618">Third World populations should be able to reject imposed frameworks or systems / Communities in the Global South have the right to reject and unlearn paradigms imposed by colonial powers <ref name="te-u" />
</li></ol>

== Additional remarks ==

* This channel is relatively tied to maintaining and reforming Liberal-republicanism. <ref name="Lz-4" />
* The channel host did not particularly endorse postcolonial theories; this is unlikely to be a "[[E:anarchism|charcoal]]" channel. <ref name="te-u" />
