I've heard Zapatistas mentioned several times, and a little about their governmental organization, but they're even more based than I thought I'd love to learn more.

[@QuestingRefuge]

Feels like every thing I end up looking into about them is indeed more based! Really excited there's interest

[@Zvasha]

I can't thank you enough for talking about the Zapatistas! Mandar Obedeciendo 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@FandomInitiative]

Well done! Cool that you're able to get so much from the show, and express it with nuance.

[@QuestingRefuge]

Thanks! You've definitely influenced me a lot in having someone to discuss these things more which has been a lot of fun.

[@Andrea-go5xe]

I'm shocked that so few people have seen this video, it's really good. Thanks for helping me learn something new too!

[@QuestingRefuge]

Thank you, so glad to hear it!

[@sylvanshroom]

I'd love a Zapatistas video! Direct and local democracy in community and personal dynamics in addition to political organization is something I'm super passionate about.

[@QuestingRefuge]

So glad to hear it's not just me!

[@junshin363]

You need more subs, really love your critical analysis! Please make a video about the Zapatistas, especially about how they bring democracy into their education system and the workplace.

[@QuestingRefuge]

Thank you so much! It seems like I definitely need to revisit the Zapatistas. I'm so glad others are as excited about them and their ideas.

[@Yor_Sothoth]

yes, zapatism video please

[@QuestingRefuge]

Awesome!

[@StoryTeller796]

Abandoned By The GRC. Abandoned By Governments. =) Also, I really, really love this video, I've already heard of other people criticizing this show but I personally loved it and had no clue why people criticize the plots as terribly as they did.

[@TailAbNormal]

Glad I finally found someone willing to play Devil's Advocate for the Flag Smasher's. There writing for Karli and her group definitely could've been lot better, but I still really loved them because they presented such a radically different point of view of both the pre & post-snap world, and offered an opportunity to take the MCU in a really interesting direction that, unfortuennly, it seems the people in charge don't want to do.

[@Error403HRD]

I'm glad we're slowly making progress, it may take years, but we'll get there.

[@QuestingRefuge]

I didn't mention this but The Zapatistas symbol is actually a snail! To represent that slow steady progress.

[@one-word-one-people]

Great video

[@discrot8568]

I'd love to hear more about the Zapatistas, it sounds really interesting and more like a world I want to live in. On your question of "if Marvel will focus on the Flagsmashers in the future and do it better" though, I have doubts. It would be great to see, but considering that they're owned by the Mouse I just don't see them showing a far-left idea like the one the Flagsmashers have if they aren't going to say it's flawed to keep the system that benefits them.

[@QuestingRefuge]

Yeah, I don't know if they will or not, they also have many things already going on. It also might be interesting to see something with that and Wakanda or some of the other more left-leaning ideas they've had in comics like with the newer X-Men to my understanding. I think Marvel could see these things as profitable and not consider too much beyond that. The individual artists I think who push some of these ideas and manage to get some through. A good example is the Immortal Hulk comic.

[@Emileigggggh]

im embroidering but nice vid! that one person's voice sounded really attractive.

[@QuestingRefuge]

I'll let them know! 😂

[@WoohooliganComedy]

Thanks, Willow! 💖

[@QuestingRefuge]

Thanks Sam!

[@ethandew1768]

Good vid

[@QuestingRefuge]

Thank you!

[@JuanPaulFilms1138]

Please make a zepa video

[@senister14]

Agreed the right is the lesser of the two, it's not perfect but they will always be better.
