i jsut cant be public atm
So I can automatically download videos from there
That is one of the reason I appreciate Timcast as a source of news for me. I look at other news which has slants, then I compare to Timcast who I know does research it.
@Dusty Morgan I like that he's an actual journalist with a good sense of what is actually happening and is willing to say exactly what he sees.
He doesn't allow his politics cloud his reporting of the news.
Tim imo is actually a journalist
not an activist
I already rarely visit youtube because my computer automatically downloads my subscription feed when I boot my PC
which is why i respect him

and became a patron recently
I would be a patron, but I'm poor as dirt
Anyways, @Lagomaster24 I think on the ground organization is actually more relevant.
oh def
And it's something the anti-SJW side sorely lacks
I wish the Mainstream Media would fire any activism and makes it against company policy to do activism, but I highly doubt I will ever see that.
Much better niche and I think it would be more effective.
Than fighting with all the other YouTube talking heads.
Activism in my opinion clouds the subject and makes it harder to discern truth from fiction.
^ This is the problem with Academia.
The channel would potentially be a means of getting said on the ground organizations message out
Exactly Termer!
What's the point of activism, if it doesn't lead to truth?
What's the point of defending falsehood?
I see no reason other than evil and power
I hardly see journalist these days putting themselves in danger like back during world war 2, when they felt it is very important for people to see what is happening and they were willing to risk their lives for it.

My primary concern right now is to get myself a platform, network, and eventually start organizing
Today journalists except for Timcast who has done that, are lazy and sit in their air conditioned buildings, filling in the gaps.
and the channel is a means to that end
@Dusty Morgan I wouldn't be sure if WWII is the correct war. WWII required all reporting to pass through the government and be censored to support the effort.
Why not just start a new NEWS organization that is based off objective truth, the real truth with real on the ground reporting like Timcast?
Vietnam is probably closer. It's what the journalists idolize. It's also where the journalists became activists.

It blew past fair reporting to activism around the end of the war.
What worries me is the censorship on youtube and twitter. Not because there aren't exponentially better places to be, but too many people are on these centralized platforms. My goal is to get people OFF of twitter, not necessarily to fix twitter
War correspondents
The censorship scares the hell out of me.

Censorship is the real threat in all this.
