    In the past I think there may have been some plausible defense for Kurzgesagt videos, even if I hated the cute quirky :reddit-logo: targeting presentation from the start and even recommended videos from well meaning progressives rubbed me the wrong way (the one about “keys to power” comes to mind).

    The “99% of humans killed off is a victory for the 1%!” take from Kurzgesagt was so on the nose in favor of :capitalist-laugh: that from that point forward such defenses were inexcusable to me.

      I know the exact CGPGrey video you’re talking about too 💀

      “99% of humans killed off is a victory for the 1%!”

      I have not seen this one, and I’m so glad I stopped watching holy shit

        My mistake, that was a CGPGrey video; I didn’t like his videos either even if the presentation is less slick and big budget sus to me.

        I believe it was the “what happens if there’s a big calamity that threatens life on Earth” video. Yeah its conclusion was that it’d be great for the 1% that remains, because the implication was, presumably, that :porky-happy: can repopulate the magically livable planet after the worst was over.
