    That makes sense! I feel like I’m always a bit caught in a catch 22 because I get that sweet, sweet dopamine hit when a video does well lol.

    But yeah for the most part I’m just doing what I want to, and it’s sometimes working out and sometimes not.

    For a while in September, I was on track to hit 2k subscribers in a year, and then suddenly I fell off. The algorithm/viewer are a mysterious beast haha. So I’ll keep going as long as I’m having fun

    I’ve been making YouTube videos/streaming in my spare time for the past year.

    I feel like most of my stuff is not great, but I’ve been trying to take the approach of “doing anything is better than being a perfectionist and doing nothing”. So that’s been pretty fun. It’s cool when you do make something and can look back and say “I like that one!”




  • I’m curious if this is the last resemblance of democracy the United States will see.

    I’m worried for the people stuck in red states, and worried this is going to spread outside America again like it did in 2016. I feel like I must live in a very different world compared to rural americans. I can’t imagine how a fascist authoritarian would be the logical choice ever.




  • All I can say is that I’m really sorry. I don’t understand why people are like this. Authoritarianism isn’t a good thing. I don’t understand how America somehow regressed further than the start of the American government.

    I’m worried this will be the catalyst to things getting worse where I live, and I’m not even American. Based on 2016, this outcome won’t do us any favors either. I just hope that things turn out for the best


  • As a Canadian I have to deal with this rise of authoritarian BS too. Whatever America does, Canadians try to emulate. I really hope we can look back at this event as a very shitty footnote in American politics that we all can have a nervous laugh at in 50 years.

    I could be facing recency bias, but it certainly feels like ever since the rise of Trump, politicians have gotten a lot more bold when it comes to authoritarian/nazi like policy. We’re personally dealing with our provincial governments trying to push for privatized health care, the stripping of environmental protections, and much more.



  • It’s disturbing to see the rize of authoritarian nazi like behavior in North America. The worst part is a lot of these people had their grandfather’s and fathers fight in the world wars to stop this kind of thing.

    It’s messed up that these kinds of people can even get into political office when they should be as far away from political power as possible.

    Damn I don’t understand how this brainwashing works, but the right wing has it on point. I’m genuinely worried that our world is about to change for the worse.

    Regardless of whether you’re in America or not, Trump existing has created a whirlwind of authoritarian worshiping bullies. Canada doesn’t seem far off. I know Europe is having their own troubles with it too. It’s like these people either didn’t learn about the world wars or did and thought “hey that sounds great”
