I want this channel to be a place where I can share my perspective on politics, philosophy, and life in general. It is my belief that by sharing myself and my worldview with people I can encourage my viewers to engage in critical perspective-taking, share their own views, and create thoughtful and respectful dialogue between people with divergent opinions and differences in their life experiences. Attempting to understand each other is crucial for understanding ourselves.
Is Antifascism the Real Fascism?
There is no equating the right and the left. If you care about freedom, you should be a leftist.

One thing that i forgot to mention was that in the winter it was so cold inside that one of the mens units actually had a riot to get the heat turned on.
Omg, I just got sent this! Thank you so much for the recommendation comrade! Solidarity ✊🙂✊ - James
Thank you so much for your work! Its a fantastic documentary
Horseshoe theory is garbage. Thankyou for this.
NEEEEEEEEEERD!!!!!
This is terrible, Mel, I am so sorry you had to go through that. I'm binging your videos right now.
Thank you, I'm glad that people are listening. I want to start uploading again but I just don't know what to do
@@meld2219 Do you know the 'trans leftist incubator' (or something like that) on Discord? They might help you with ideas. Gutian has links to it in her youtube videos.
@@sacta hey thanks, I'll check that out
great video! presentation suggestions: 1: static background image (or b-roll) 2: stereo audio (instead of left ear syndrom) 3: move away from mic or get s filter
All great tips 💜
Thank you so much for making this video
i like what you're saying, quality wise i think you might need to step back a bit from the mic and maybe talk louder, or if you need to keep it down try not to speak directly at the mic cuz ur breath makes that weird scratchy noise, but, it's not so bad that it's unlistenable :) if you are interested in some help with editing tips and stuff have a look at this video i made and see if you're interested in joining the discord server, will definitely be people there who want to help out: ruclips.net/video/JxPIZtKaXq8/видео.html
subscribed! how could i not subscribe???
This video is so important for people to see and I thank you for making this. i cant even imagine how difficult it must have been to talk about this so openly, but these stories really do make a difference. Prison abolition is a MUST. reform wont solve anything. You didn't need punishment, you needed HELP. others in the system need HELP not punishment. punishment doesnt solve anything. what we do to prisoners is torture, plain and simple. I'm so happy that you made it through that trauma. I have so much respect for you. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your story.
thank you for listening! i really wish i could reach more people, there is so much misinfo and apathy surrounding the concept of abolition
@@meld2219 do you mind if I share a link to this video on Twitter? I really think more people should see this. your channel needs a lot more attention.
@@lowtcharlie2859 feel free to share it around
Thank you so much for this video. It must have been so difficult for you to film this. This stuff is really important for people to see. The view we get of prisons is so sanitized. Thank you.
all values are ultimately not rational (not _irrational_ but just not based in reason) so having faith in humanity isn't irrational ^_^
like i tell right wing morons: if the left are the real fascists, then why aren't you protecting my "free speech" rights to advocate for violence XD why aren't you saying there are good people on my side? XD
I know the quality is shit, but any criticism of the content would be appreciated
Thanks for this look into the prison system, this really helped me get some perspective on how little space people are really forced to occupy, it's horrific. Sorry that you had to go through anything similar to that
I'm glad I could be educational. That's all I really want to do is bring my perspective to things. I wish I knew anything about production, lol
@@meld2219 lol, I'm sure you'll get better over time, it just takes practice and it's way better than what I could do
I just got out of jail in November I did 6 months and I'm never going back fuck that.
Agreed, the capital-C Church is just about the most patriarchal / hierarchical power in the world and the systemic rapes are just one of the ways it manifests. Also your haircut is rad!!!
thank you! unfortunately i fucked up trying to maintain it and now its all patchy lol i guess it gives me that DIY punk look tho
@@meld2219 I mean that sounds like the Catholic Church's "This is the age of sin" atomic trans aesthetic so it should be pretty on brand for this video
@@elwynbrooks9240 come to me, Baphomet, Lucifer, Asmodeus, Sobek, I am your vessel on this earth to destroy judeo-christian hegemony
What color was your prison uniform my brother pink
Did they make you wear prison uniform
yea, the uniforms were really uncomfortable. stiff and scratchy, and not breathable. they made me really sweaty even when it was cold, and holy shit did it get cold in there
That's terrible I have a brother his name is David he was in jail and should we get punch a lot in jail and every time I saw through this plastic glass he had fresh bruises and cuts and his uniform was always ripped it made me upset every time I saw him
What color was it
My brother jail uniform was white and it always have blood on it and that's nothing to make me upset was it was his blood
@@acetattoodrama9259 that would make me really upset too. solidarity for all the folx locked down, i wish we could bust them out
