Kurzgesagt not realizing that when your neighbors openly want fascism and to strip your rights, by voting in Republicans, it’s not about perceived attacks. They are attacks. That led directly to deaths and massive spikes in hate crimes, right wing terrorism, school shootings, women losing control of their own bodies…
It’s a rare miss for them but I understand why they’re doing it.
That was my takeaway from this video as well. It was a lot of “aw shucks can’t we all just get along” and not understanding that in today’s world, getting along is a left-wing policy. I think there is still merit to saying that part of the reason we’re so divided nowadays is that we are forced to interact more often, but it shouldn’t be represented as the entire problem. In a way, I think a video like this is actually worse for discourse because it might convince people that there is only one problem that needs to be solved.
