I remember the horror I had to go through to upload my ripped dvds to iPad for kids to watch. We had to setup an http server for the vlc to download the files to its data storage
It is not. I assume the author just doesn't have the theoretical marxist background to correctly identify it as such.
But tbh, all "liberal democracies" are dictatorships of the bourgeoisie, so a democracy among and for the capitalists, and a dictatorship for the workers.
Capitalism has ended poverty at a faster rate in the past 20 years than anytime in history. Capitalism is why we have nice things. The destruction of the environment is more extreme in non-capitalist countries that are poorer. A clean environment is something that people value, they just value it less than basic survival -- which seems to make sense to me.
In fact, if UBI slows down growth and progress -- it will in fact do more damage to the environment than not having it.
Philosophy Tube is pretty good for exactly what you'd expect. The recent stuff is mostly political, but the old stuff is a really good starting point for general philosophy.
And if you're into political stuff and want to actually have your views challenged instead of reinforced, on top of Philosophy Tube I'd also recommend: ContraPoints, Some More News, Shaun, Innuendo Studios, Three Arrows.
Some More News is very much "Here's an opinion you already have, let's be sardonic at the possibility others don't share it". I'd recommend Riley J. Dennis instead, for her excellent discussion of gender and sexuality.
Fair enough. I've used that term because I wanted to represent them as left-leaning "saviors" (as in, opposition to PragerU, Shapiro, JBP, Crowder, and the rest of the shit on YouTube that only reinforces bigotry) without my comment getting flagged.
