Thank God, it's finally a beneficial use for this personality trait of mine

Are you suggesting the direct action specifically during periods of protest or as an alternative?

At my school they were always too high to do anything. Plenty of other ones getting booted for SA songs they write or enact and I'm sure even more doing it without being caught. And people wonder why men get a bad rap

I really enjoyed it. I wasn't politically aware at all for the early to mid 2010's, especially internationally, so learning about EU Maidan, the so called Arab Spring, Brazil's uprising, and other movements during the era was helpful.

Even though it discusses how people with good intentions lose control of large movements to forces of reaction in many cases I still came away feeling more hopeful than JM. You discover how these movements can inspire people and with the right organization and planning it's possible to create a better society through them

They have a great ability to report on some pretty fucked up stuff in a way that is still somehow fun without detracting from the seriousness

Haven't ventured into the second most recent video though because I don't know if there's a way for me to even slightly enjoy knowing more about how anti-homeless people freaks think
