It's not just you. Any time they touch on politics/economics they just regurgitate hegemonic propaganda.

Great video! He made some really solid points. I hope some of the audience of Contrapoints sees it.
Prefiguration really is the answer in so many cases. I think he could have emphasised, though, that while the road to rebuilding a real revolutionary left is long, every step along the path of prefiguration can and does make a practical difference to people's lives. The pressure that can be brought to bear on elected officials will also grow little by little.
Regarding disengaging from electoral politics, I think that radicals, since they're people who are very interested in politics, have often become so highly engaged with electoral politics that they find it difficult to kick the habit. Also, I think there's a perception that keeping up with the minutiae of bills and appointments is essential for being taken seriously when discussing politics.

If voters aren't willing to withhold their vote over genocide, why would the Dems ever stop doing genocide?

They’d rather have Biden lose to him than waste one of their up and coming stars on a fool’s errand.
Sure, but they could put Harris in there. She'd probably result in a less disastrous loss in the senate.

He has a bad night. Now again, I think it's a legitimate question to say 'Is this an episode or is this a condition?'

I'm no expert, but I'd imagine figuring out a (safe) way to use it with your water heater would be the low-hanging fruit, in terms of least-complexity for the amount of grid consumption you'd potentially save.

Summary for those who haven't watched:
- Vote, or don't, but it won't change the system
- The system will not offer significant concessions unless its existence is credibly threatened
Seems hard to argue with.

A right thing. And not a very substantial one. But don't sell the UK short. The government might be despicable, but the massive marches in London by the people have been inspiring. The power of that crowd needs to be channelled into direct action.

Explanation: [How the watermelon 🍉 became a symbol of Palestinian protest 🇵🇸](https://www.themuslimah.org/watermelon-a-symbol-of-palestinian-protest/) It's especially relevant now, because Meta (i.e. Instagram and Facebook) is hiding posts and comments containing the Palestinian flag emoji, and people are turning to using the watermelon emoji as a substitute. As an aside, the Jordanian flag emoji 🇯🇴 and the Western Saharan flag emoji 🇪🇭 are visually similar enough to the Palestinian flag emoji to be good substitutes.
