It's an extreme opinion, but the points the vid raises are IMO important to consider. Especially when looking at how We America got Here, and Where We Want To Go.
Because American International Dominance is fucking *done*.
1/ I never stopped to think about how going out to the movie theater was an every weekend activity when I was a teenager in the 90s. And I have slowly stopped going as frequently. Until I stopped entirely in 2015. "I don't want to watch this slop."
2/ I have slowly stopped acquiring new music to listen to, returning again and again to my 300 GB mp3 library of 70s, 80s, and 90s Rock. "What this empty swill of the Pop Charts? I want real music! Oldies are besties!"
1/ further review of this YouTube channel content shows a progression of building legitimacy in the western style of debate. It even uses casual settings and ordinary lighting techniques to appear familiar.
2/ However, the most recent content posted is different in several respects. It entirely dispenses with the casual atmosphere and replaces that with sharp, stark lighting. The speaker's face is lit, and the surroundings are dark. The speaker works very hard to be commanding and harsh.
3/ The speaker brings specific points to bare and repeats them for emphasis. Factual-seeming conclusive generalizations and brought to bare in support of the speaking points, but are treated like groundbreaking realities.
6/ Yes, America will never be a dominant power on the world stage. And I'd rather it not, considering the demonstrated governmental obsession with exporting control, pain, and death, when the exported "culture" is rejected.
Somebody privately called me out, that this is destructive propaganda. So everyone who liked this post, please put your thinking caps on, and grab some cite-able sources for and against it!
There no way revolution will benefit Americans, but it will benefit China. Revolution is war and death. We need to return to what we were not blood for the uncertain. He wants revolt 2 benefit his ppl not our ppl. Unless we change back in an orderly manner, this will be a lose lose situation.

Here I didn’t see the specific “elements“ that he speaking of.
I think America might be slower to boil, but I 100% trust in America’s propensity for violence When it comes guessing about revolutions.

As Lowkey says in his track The Death of Neoliberalism, "Confront the culture of power with the power of culture. We sing!"
Yes. America is absolutely in trouble. Yes, mass marketed 'culture' is vapid and empty.
But local communities still live and fight to live. Americans write music and theater, and perform them both.
But teachers still teach students, and students still learn and grow, even if slower than they could be.
