The post is also sus because if you look at other discussions, there’s 2 other uploads of the same video with the same exact title (I’m assuming ‘hash truth’ is supposed to be ‘harsh’? if so then they made the same exact misspelling). But it’s not the same account. Each one is a different username who uploaded it. Wtf.

It’s weird because you often see more left-leaning stuff in this sub, like pro-Palestine vids. But Reddit does lean reactionary, as we all know. reddit-logo

What do you think? Astroturfed or no?

Also this dude’s argument reminds me of what I read in Ibrahim X. Kendi’s How To Be An Antiracist where he recalls, in his his youth, being convinced by white supremacist America to find fault in his own culture and blame it all on himself and his black peers, and trying to assimilate and distance himself from it, rather than seeking liberation.
