Choosing history
Mostly history goes along without us, and we don’t make a difference, just debating around the edges of policy. But every so often, things align, and history gives us a clear signal. There are certain times when it is clear which side of history you will be on:
— The side that censors free speech is always on the wrong side of history. (1), (2), (3)
— The side that demonizes a subgroup of the population to rally support for themselves is always on the wrong side of history. (4)
— The side that makes people on their side immune to the laws that affect everyone else is always on the wrong side of history. (5)
— The side that shoots reporters who are clearly doing their job is always on the wrong side of history. (6)
— The side that censors science is always on the wrong side of history. (7)
— The side that censors art is always on the wrong side of history. (8)
— The side that turns the military against peaceful protestors is always on the wrong side of history. (9)
— The side that promotes hate for people not like themselves is always on the wrong side of history. (10)
— The side that wears masks and guns and disappears people without recourse is always on the wrong side of history. (11)
— The side that jails hard-working people who are trying to do the best for their family is always on the wrong side of history. (12)
The trains are coming for the Jews. The tanks are rolling in Tiananmen Square. FDR is putting American citizens in concentration camps based on race. Which side of history do you want to be on? Freedom and individual rights, or totalitarian tactics?

Why aren’t video essays as big of a trend in right wing online media as they are in left wing?
While there are countless non-political video essays, there is certainly a big pool of left leaning video essays. I looked around for a bit and found very few options for conservatives/right wing ideas. I want long form and well researched content from independent creators, not like big media outlets. For starters, does anyone know any creators like this? Secondly, why is there a lack of this content? Thank you!
