Surprising to see so many on lemmy not watch the video, or recognize that it is by Second Thought.

I watched this video earlier today and it didn't contain any particularly new or insightful information for me, but that's almost entirely because I've been somewhat politically active for a while, which I don't think is strictly his target demographic at this point.

Second thought's videos were very uncomfortable but informative when I was first learning about socialism.

Again, just surprising to me that they aren't more popular in this online space.

He doesn't research or source anything. It's the laziest gift ever.

He calls out citations for claims in the video

Not really. He calls out headlines from news articles for actions that happened but not for his main claims.

First ten seconds in and he's full of shit.

His claim is a conspiratorial garbage that "it's by design". This claim is never backed up by evidence. It has been debunked thousands of times and anyone that still spews it is doing it intentionally. This guy is 100% on the anti - establishment grift that is so popular on YouTube.
