While on some level, I do agree that there needs to some greater bonds of empathy formed to get people to realize the suffering of those currently targeted by the current administration, and that there was some interesting info in the first bit, Colin's attempt at being political in the second half of the video is clumsy at best, and near tone-deaf at worst.
"I just don't quite comprehend the strategy behind it (the ROM2064 tweet".
Gee Colin, I dunno, maybe it's not about the bottom line, and maybe, just maybe, they're trying to elevate their principles instead of making themselves more money.
Ugh, and here comes the 'we should be striving for unity' plea....which falls apart when you realize the Dems tried that for the last 4 years, and got shit on at pretty much every single response from the Republicans.
Yet now that the Right is in power, it's time to the old call to 'settle down and compromise' and 'appeal to common interests'.....riiiiiight.
They're not limiting their art by telling people to fuck off, Colin. They're limiting the message implicit therein, perhaps, but that very tweet is also an 'expression of their art'.
'Maybe I'm just a naive optimist...'
Yep, that must be it. Definitely not at all related to the fact that you're not affected by little, if any, of the criteria for targets on Executive Orders being issued by the White House.
And then he sneaks in a 'I'm going to be so bummed out' moment at the end re: playing the game. Yep, I'm sure that making yourself look like a victim (compared to, oh, say the actual refugees being deported) really drive your 'unity!' point home.
The first six or so posts, including mine, alluded to the fact that even though the video is insightful, the thread would quickly devolve into a repeat of happens in every Colin Moriarty related thread, and here we are.
It's almost like someone's past perspectives, including outspoken political views, might color their commentary on a future issue.
