  • You saw damn near the whole country coming out in support of Luigi and gaining more class consciousness seemingly overnight. Imagine that power of mass organization being used to, say, organize a general strike.

    Even most Trump supporters voted for him because they were/are going through economic struggle, and Trump (and decades of right wing propaganda) was able to successfully brainwash these people into pointing the finger at immigrants and trans people instead of the obvious culprit (billionaires).

    It’s not too difficult to help someone come to the conclusion that billionaores are the problem if they’re struggling financially.

    Obviously, you have the Trump supporters who specifically support him (and continue to) because he’s a fascist leader who has Nazi idiology that they agree with, but I think that’s a (very, very vocal) minority of his supporters.













  • I switched to NewPipe ever since the very first alpha version was released. I’ve discovered so many more niche channels that I would have never discovered had I still been using my Google account.

    Without the account, the algorithm recommends me videos exclusively based on the current video I’m watching, which is exactly what I want the algo to do.

    I am currently subscribed to over 1500 people on NewPipe now, for reference, with the vast majority being smaller creators. I discover new channels on a fairly regular basis.

    My subs are also completely local and sortable into different groups. Google has been known to unsubscribe people from channels without their consent or knowledge, and this prevents that from happening.

    Having no ads and Sponsorblock (via polymorphicshade’s fork called Tubular or another fork called PipePipe) is also a nice bonus.
