      I believe that the video’s main thesis – that financial commoditization has taken over education and that’s it’s a problem – is honest and accurate. And I learned a little bit from the transcript (Reagan’s involvement in changing the system way back when in the 70s in California.)

      That’s what threw me for a loop. Most of what I see come out of Second Thought is “and that’s why don’t vote for the Democrats” faux-socialism. It’s like… hey, are you feeling okay? This video seemed fine and that’s not normal.

          Certainly possible. What do you think… instead of analyzing things critically the best that I’m able, should I just start saying “superficially left wing == good, someone called it ‘liberal’ == bad”? Or maybe just going with the majority of the group?

          IDK, I’m not planning to do either of those things, just asking what you think.
