That we just need younger people, more women, more people of colour, better political parties, more democracy. It’s a common attitude, even amongst young people, that participating in current, mainstream politics, rising the ranks, is how you go about changing the world. And sure, you might win some things, maybe a lot of things. But this perspective is very limiting. We are not above or beyond our surroundings, our material conditions. To keep acting as such, and to not radically break from existing norms and values, will only mean humanity’s downfall. 0:00-0:44 intro 0:44-3:25 society??? 3:25-8:52 economy and ecology 8:52-10:26 subsumption 10:26-14:45 decoupling is impossible 14:45-21:38 mediated integration 21:38-30:02 disintegration 30:02-38:43 totalisation 38:43-39:37 sources and script: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zY6x1grM-le_WSX14HaE5Ka8NtOtF2cDbvYh33l9xYA/edit?usp=sharing Thu, 09 Apr 2026 09:27:56 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/33c9c580-8227-4071-8b0c-b87b0803cab5 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
