@@hairymcnipples Yeah, looking back on this, I'll admit I definitely misspoke when I said completely reversible. There are definitely some things that aren't reversible, but I do still think (at least at the time of writing this comment) that at least a large chunk of the damage is currently both preventable and reversible. It's just a matter of taking the steps required to actually begin doing so-something which I have considerably less optimism about, at least in the case of the United States. Still, though, I find it important to try and remain positive during situations like this-doomerism is neither a healthy ideology nor a helpful one. I just wish people with the money and manpower that could actually make an impact on it would bother to do so, rather than leaving the people who can't to fend for themselves.

How do _I_ as an individual participate in systemic issues, uphold or perpetuate them without realizing? Could it be that in some way, I'm part of the machine in a way I haven't realized it? Of course trying to reframe systemic reform as an individual responsibility is stupid and I'm not advocating for that (though in the case of Musk, it wouldn't be that crazy), but being willing to question core assumptions is something that is uncomfortable for anyone, as Ro touches on at the end of the video.

It took a while but he told me later it helped. It's some dang emotional labor, I'll tell you what, but I think it's worth it. This is also why I think Twitter fights and online dog piling are ineffective. I've never convinced a neonazi by arguing with them, largely because they know they're full of shit and don't care. But I have gotten through to people by talking to them like I want to see the good in them and give them a chance to back down from those ideas with some dignity, instead of retreating after being doused in shame and derision.

As someone who lives in Scandinavia here are some of the benefits you get from being in this system, i can not speak for all countries involved but they're pretty similar. Free school (obligatory, in highschool you might have to pay for lunch and the same goes for what I'd call collage but uni is free), free meals in school (until highschool and sometimes highschool), free dental and healthcare until your early 20s as well as "high cost insurance" on these things as well as most common prescribed medications, vacations and limits to how much you can legally work (this all varies a bit but yeah), unions that are hard to bust bc there's a long history of it and a bunch of other things too. I'm just a normal person from a family who's finances have fluctuated throughout my upbringing and things aren't perfect but I'd say it's nicer than living in the US, this security is something almost nobody would give up willingly. We do have high taxes (I don't know the differences between us and the US, it's like 28-30% in my specific region I think) but that kinda comes around and you benefit from it in the long run. Not to say that things aren't corrupt, where there's power and massive amounts of money there will always be corruption and politicians are the same no matter where you are but overall it's fine. Always strive for better though, things can always be better.

The bit at the end about taking criticism of capitalism personally - that was so good. I recognise this everywhere.

[@ChristopherSadlowski]

That's probably because we tie so much of our self worth to what we feel we "contribute" to the capitalist machine. When your sense of value just as a human being is directly connected to your work, any critique of that system feels like an attack on your personhood. That's one reason why capitalism is so difficult to even chip away at. It sets itself up, and burrows so far in, that it practically forces everyone to accept it as one and only way of doing anything. The people at the top have slowly designed it this way; why do or say anything to jeopardize the flow of extreme wealth into your bank? The sad thing is it's become more like a game for them, they don't actually do anything with that money because the thrill is just seeing how much of a high score you can get. It's also why they see people more as numbers than, you know, people. Do most people really care about the "lives" of the NPCs in video games? No. They're just there as set dressing or a place to sell your loot at. When everything is flattened down to numbers on a spreadsheet you stop seeing what's actually behind those numbers, and at a certain point you're so desensitized that everything just becomes meaningless numbers. Giant numbers at that, numbers so large the human brain has trouble even conceptualizing how big they really are.

HydraPak was the sole contractor NASA used in the manufacture of the space shuttle O-rings.” “In all honesty, NASA was clearly at fault here. The launch should never have gone ahead in such conditions. It’s also not necessarily fair to blame the manufacturer of the O-rings for not testing them in extremely cold conditions. It’s highly possible that those O-rings were built using the religious equivalent of slave labor. It’s just an interesting and intensely sad corner of history, one where two groups of people on the absolute opposite ends of the American spectrum - fundamentalist cult adherents and literal rocket scientists attempting to launch a teacher into space - intersected to bring us one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century.”

The way I put it is: Don't measure a country's prosperity by how successful a rare few can be, but by how low quality a citizen's life can become. And how they affect the quality of life of non-citizens.

One more thing about electric cars and buses VS trains: trains don't have to change tires every few months because they have metal wheels, and one tire change produces 32kg of CO2.

[@georgeandrews1394]

I'm in favour of public transportation. However, I'm not sure on that argument? For one, there are a lot of places that don't get snow and ice or get so little that they don't need to swap tires. For two, how does changing tires produce 32 kg of CO2? I get there's a cost to driving the car to the mechanic and many people can't do it at home, but then that's not much more than driving to another equally distant location. Unless you're talking about busses and the like having reduced lifespan on their tires due to constant wear and tear.

[@merty5713]

@@georgeandrews1394 Tires must be produced first, and the CO2 is released during production. I was specifically talking about electric buses, which have 6 tires, so it is 192 kg CO2 for each bus. As you said, they are always on the road so they need frequent change. Also, electric busses use lithium batteries: mining lithium eliminates the wild habitat in South America, you have fresh air in the US at the expense of wild life in South America. It is not a viable green solution, it is eco-colonialism.

[@sillyspider]

WHO'S CHANGING THEIR TIRES EVERY FEW MONTHS???? LMFAO, THOSE THINGS LAST SO MANY YEARS. HOW DO YOU MANAGE TO DESTROY THEM SO QUICKLY??? THATS SO FUCKING FUNNY HOLY SHITTTT

[@ginevra3719]

As a non native speaker your videos are perfect for when I'm awake and want to scratch the "long-form complex but funny video" brain itch and perfect for when I'm slightly insomniac and need something that at a lower volume seems to be just nonsense with a consistent and lullaby like tone

[@cpetersen6454]

the conversation at the beginning is eerily close to a conversation i had with my boyfriend last week. he was more critical of musk but still can weigh in his good, etc, but still. kinda eery lol

i was there and i transcribed it

"He's a loser" is the simple truth that not enough people articulate, and I think it's probably the thing that hurts him more than any of the well-researched and reasoned critiques.

[@claireh4756]

I may have been gaslit by the right most my life but I genuinely believe Ro is the smartest person on earth. Mother.

[@Onewingerdraven]

Glad you escaped from this brainwashing hellhole

[@pathogeneration5138]

That's quaint. You two should cosplay as Dunning and Kruger next Halloween.

[@93runninggiraffes]

At around t = 1:25 in the video, I perform a sniff check of my underarms and realise that I smell... what was genuinely frightening, was that this sniff check was immediately followed by Ro asking, "do you smell?" Honestly, I had to pause the video to reclaim my grip on reality, as for a moment, I thought Ro had caught me smelling my pits through the computer.

[@zachmanning2609]

If I could just inflate your ego for a moment... I honestly think you're one of the funniest creators on this platform, your weird little asides and constant stream of jokes kills me and I find myself chuckling near the entire length of the video. You and CJ the X have a very similar style of content and I'm laser focused for the whole runtime every time you put out a new video. You're doing a great job and I'm looking forward to your future work!

[@PenelopeNaomi]

Love how a big part of this vid is you just fighting against your lover, who is you.

Loved the production on this one, A+++ quality as always ❤️

It's probably my lack of understanding this world we all inhabit, but I don't think anyone could become mega wealthy ethically. Worshiping wealth and power isn't my bag, but what do I know 🙃 My blathering aside, great content. Edit: adorable jumper 🌹

I: No, you undertand it pretty well. One can't get that sort of money without exploiting people

[@JonWintersGold]

I can tell you one thing. Reddit absolutely hates him nowadays.

[@alicem2103]

I'm a new subscriber of yours. Love to see "younger people" like yourself out here with fantastic and astute analysis (I cringed inside as I said younger people. I'm a millenial. I'm 29. Lmfao I'm not you anymore and it's wild) as well as some HILARIOUS candor. Your jokes don't make me laugh "haha" of course, like most dry humor they just give me a deep jubilance. I'm just momentarily giddy. It's a welcome reprieve from everything else we are feeling right now. As another gender non-conforming young-ish person under the trans umbrella, I salute your ability to hold your own out here. Took so many of us years to get to that point of unapologetic presentation. That's not just a creator skill, that's a lifelong achievement that so many of us don't reach. Keep it up. Don't stop being you. You're appreciated! 🎉

I have a two hour drive to northern Michigan tonight. I know what I’m listening to for half of it!

I’m more terrified of self driving cars then of driving them myself, which is saying something 😅 at least when I crash I would have no one else to blame lol

[@Alice-ib4cz]

Ro, my beloved. I love you sm but the faint beeping in your video is the exact sound my house alarm does when building up to fully going off and it terrifies me I am constantly on edge but I will work through this 😭

[@blestemat4426]

u talk so fast and it pleases my adhd brain so much. love u Ro

[@buildingadream]

building electric cars and updating/switching batteries every 10 years is plenty toxic to the environment, more so than some gas cars and ethanol or biogas would be an even better solution to electric cars. Some municipals in Sweden run their public transport on biogas. So from that perspective Testa sucks just as much

[@ang3l550]

ro was the white turtle neck in the ad read a jeremy fragrance reference (also this video was a work of art thank you for everything you do)

[@Olivia-dg4fb]

Yes! New upload! I look forward to these, especially anyone dunking on Musk.

"Marx loved Capitalism, he wrote a whole book on it" is giving like "Hitler loved the gays he wrote a whole book about being camp 💅🥰"

I was just gonna turn my phone off and finally go to sleep after refreshing the youtube recommendations again and again because nothing caught my interest. But Ro and behold this video came up and I guess I could stay awake for another hour.

That comparison between capitalism and communism was so niche yet so thoroughly fleshed out it was honestly god tier philosophy. Thank you for existing.

[@spacedino91]

Elon also a government contract with America but he has worked and given information to the Russian and Chinese government as well. I dont think who does our satellite should be sharing information to other governments. In my books he would be considered a traitor and should be tried as such.

[@spacedino91]

Also f Elon. Do you know how much things would be better if we had bullet trains in this country? We could even made them electric. Then we wouldnt have so many derailments because the tracks would have to be maintained for the other trains.

[@videobun]

Elon is doing one good thing for the world and it's curing imposter syndrome

I am obsessed with the way you talk. Like - Genuinely, you speak with so much reassurance and just confidence that it makes it REALLY easy to just agree with you. I mean, I hated elon musk already, but still.
