Hey team! The new video is out in the wild. Put it in a chain email and tell people their eyebrows will fall out if they don't forward it to 10 more people!

The ostensibly better mic I used handles consonants better but overall sounds tinnier than my usual mic? Maybe I had the settings wrong, I dunno. Probably just need a new mic of my own. This is the final version of the script, which hacked about two minutes out of the raw narration and adds a few lines here and there. I'm pretty happy with it.

I'm going back to bed.

Damn, you're using way more direct and explicit words and arguments against republicans in general in this video than in any other before. I'm not exactly criticising that, but it seems very apparent to me that you're going at the right wing - and not just nazis - way stronger and forcefully than in the other videos. Is there any reason for that? If I'm not mistaken, that's even communicated in the way you're talking - your voice. I mean, I'd get it if your frustration has just increased the last months since the previous video, but is that the reason? Is there any other? Or am I just outright wrong?

I also love how you rightfully call out the idealistic, privileged, uneffective call to "beat nazis on the marketplace of ideas [instead of on the streets and away from social media]" multiple times, and then close on "the only solution to a bad idea is a better idea" - even after you have explicitly stated how the only effective way to limit the power of nazis is a couple of things, but none of them being to offer better solutions. I know that last statement means a different thing, but it's very, well, contradictory.

Geez. That was depressing, but so so accurate. Great job as usual. As for the microphone quality, it sounds to me like clipping is a large part of the problem. The gain is turned up too high somewhere in the chain and you're losing dynamic range. Should be easy enough to fix. There might be more things going on, but getting the clipping under control should be a big improvement.

I love how well this complements Bringing Back What's Stolen.

I think an under-acknowledged problem with this is that Democrats are penalized at the polls for violating the rules. This isn’t just something from the top down, it bears it out on election day.

I'm saddened by this video: I find it terrifying how the only perspective of a lot of americans is voting - and for either democrats or republican at that! As if both parties were not in service of the class in power (regardless of the electorate they try to appeal to). Black americans did not ear their rights by voting democrat, they did by fighting! That should be today's agenda: collective struggle!
