Your political theory is very well put together. I think the cultural commentary is more important, though.
we love the political theory, but if you can tie it in to your personal experiences, like the search for authenticity, that makes it really powerful.
All three subjects. @Endeavour
i'd say personal experience
@Endeavour you've demonstrated the lies quite diligently. I agree with @WanderingRusski about naturally sharing your experiences and being open and taking your audience through your discovery and thought process with you. These qualities are what made your content captivating and authentic.
I would caution about traveling to far down the road of critiquing culture. I imagine if most of us here are anything like me we're pretty disillusioned. Continuing to fixate on what is wrong would be fostering a culture of critique (/outrage a la Tim Poole) and we don't want to become our enemy's.
I would recommend following your gut and launching and endeavor in search of authenticity since that has caught your attention. Go find subjects and/or talk to different people who you suspect may living in authenticity and purpose in this fallen society and provide analysis. Homesteading, Religious communities, families, frontier jobs, civic resistance groups, occupations. Find them, tell us, but remember, it's much easier to destroy than to create.
Orthodoxy
@MicMac My cultural commentary videos are usually about reactionary themes in works of art which I enjoy (like the Gettysburg video). I don't do "ANTIFA ATTACKS JOURNALIST!!! MSM SILENT!!!" videos like Tim Pool. I'm not interested in just saying "SJWs are bad". I need to feel like I have something of value to say on a subject to warrant a video.
My Tim Poole example was off point, you're right
I would like to see more historical content.
Didn't intend to imply you were anything like Tim Poole, you're obviously not. What I was trying to get at was to suggest a search for authenticity and purpose and to avoid potential traps of 'beating a dead horse'. No offense intended. I like your content. Trying to offer input that may be of some utility.
@MicMac Yeah, no problem. I didn't take it that way. You are right that outrage porn makes for low quality content.
I like all the topics
^
Though I agree that the personal anecdotes are the most relatable and unique
For obvious reasons
More political theroy would be nice
more history would be interesting
like that video on the 1848 Hungarian revolution
@Endeavour I think you should have a mix of these but I personally like your personal anecdotes videos
@EYEFORKNOWLEDGE156 Yeah, I'll continue to do a mix. I'm just wondering which ones people like the most.
@Endeavour your political journey might be a bit eye opening for people who are seeking to shift away from their siding. Mostly because you say things in a way that provoke thought, and the questions you might have had that drew you to your conclusion might be mirroring similarly to what others have questioned themselves.
@trux-fortuita I already did a video on that. I used it as an example.
@Endeavour I'd like to see more cultural commentary videos.
@Endeavouri like All the topics but I think I like your personal experience videos because
1.) You don't have alot if them
2.)the right needs to make more emotional or aesthetic appeal. Because facts and logic don't change people's values and it helps our image
@Endeavour I would love to see a video on if religious orthodoxy is a good thing or not. I’ve come to the conclusion myself but I’m curious on what everyone’s thoughts are.
@Endeavour I would like to hear your take on religions in videogames, both the ones that actually exist and those just made for the game in question. This topic could be approached from a number of different angles.
Similarly, your view of the political rightwing in videogames would be interesting. A calm comparisson to real life and some background footage for reference and entertainment, i can see this work well. It could introduce new people to nrx ideas.
You probably wouldnt have a problem coming up with games that could be looked at but Im going to suggest The Elder Scrolls, The Witcher, Assassins Creed or Halo anyway.
This would need a fair bit of editing to bring out its full potential though
covering Halo would be intersting
@Fighting Gold I don't really play video games anymore and I can't really think of religious themes in any games that I've played that are interesting. The only game I can think of that has reactionary themes that I've played is Red Dead Redemption. I also really loved the game Grim Fandango. The story, the setting, and the characters were fantastic, but I don't know where it really stands political. I'll have to play it again.
halo was a based protestant uprising against a corrupted clergy
@Endeavour metal gear revengence?
kojima is just too pretentuis
isnt senator armstrong just a caricature of a neocon
not really
or at least its intelligent
you do realise he is meant to be a joke or at least a parody of neocon
and yet despite this people take him literally like liberty prime from fallout 3
thats ok then, was just giving my 2 cents
@Skellington I played Metal Gear Solid 1-4 about 10 years ago. I loved them, but I'd have to play them again to comment on them.
@Endeavour nah im talking about metal gear revengence
@Skellington Haven't played that one.
