      IDK, in school they spent a lot of time on MLK and Gandhi, focusing on non-violence. You’d never even know that these men ever talked about anything else.

      Nobody ever learns about Fred Hampton, the Haitian revolution, or Malcolm X by sticking to the curriculum.

          YouTube is a VERY SHARP double edged sword. There is a wealth of knowledge, but there’s also a wealth of disinformation.

          It’s also a bit of a catch-22; YouTube can teach you to think critically and look for good sources, but the algorithm will not start that cycle for you.
