I would give anything to be able to throw a cat without it snagging its claws on anticommunist drivel like when this lady feels the need to characterize "communist newsletters" as completely uninterested in truth and falsehood, only in subversion, and via diagram explains that they are completely outside of the frame of "legitimate disagreement" while the entire American "consensus" is inside of it. Before you say anything, she was using this model as a framework to explain how she thinks things really are, rather than to refute it.

I swear to god it's so inescapable to hear any kind of political commentary from one of these fucking "video essayists" without it at some point devolving into lazy anticommunism.

Edit: The one thing I really appreciate is how she's evidently a big fan of Manufacturing Consent (see the floor shots), which can tell you a whole lot about the reception of that book.

Edit 2: The idealist screed at the end is also annoying, but honestly I can gratefully say those are usually relegated to people such as video essayists who have forgotten what the material world is.
