Yes. Those first few months of covid showed what we could accomplish if people got their heads of out their asses. Problem is, people like smelling their own shit too much.

... Can't you feel if your teeth are clean or not?
I've explained my reasoning, but all you can offer is "head shaving text in italicizes" and a downvote. I'm done.
I refuse to be known at part of the nyc metro.
The few times I looked into his videos, I thought his name was Vsauce Michael. The intro is too youtuber for me.
I've also heard that he gets approached a lot by weirdos asking odd questions. Specifically, at one talk, during the Q and A portion, getting asked highly technical questions by adults who grew up watching him and expecting him to be able to respond. I wouldn't put too much weight on what randos on the Internet have to say about his character.
Neither do they. Their "leadership" scattered before anyone got into the Capital on Jan6th and the pawns scattered when the first one of these died.
Those people scattered hard when one of their's died on January 6th. None of them really know how bad it gets in countries that actually go through revolutions. Not that we shouldn't be prepared to protect ourselves, but they have no wherewithal to follow though to the end.
One of the main taking points of the anti-wokes is that people are shoving politics into every piece of media and that they're being oppressed as a result. Just because many "wokes" are asserting media is inherently political, doesn't make it true.
In reality the line between “political” and “non-political” is nonsense
I disagree. I'm going to broadly define "political" as things involving how people interact with each other. I'd rather call it "social" and further limit political as referring more formal, legal policies, but that does get more muddled.
I already mentioned the original Death Race 2000 as a satire of violence in media, but it seems the remakes and its squeals missed that memo. What's the messages of the Fast and the Furious movies? Tom and Jerry?
Japanese director is a good case study for Political vs non-political messages. Is Utena political? That show is about how teenages are in this in between phase often put an adult importance on childish things. Penguindrum is about how Japanese culture had a conservative as a result of the sarin gas attacks, which is absolutely about policy and politics. Sarazanmai is about the difference between Want vs Need and Love vs Lust, which to me is less politics and more Human Condition issues.
I assert Human Condition isn't inherently political. If you disagree, what's the "politics" of WORLD OF TOMORROW? I just get uncomfortable feelings regarding my mortality. IT'S GREAT!
Not sure the tree needs a camouflage hat, but maybe collect some seeds, grow a new tree, and award the tree a medal for it's parent's heroism.
He also had some bad takes in his more recent show, but people are too ready to believe random people on the internet on matters of character when they've, at max, only talked to him for 5 minutes. He's has a net positive impact and people would better to find other targets for their energy.
