And how did you contaminate someone else's feed? Genuinely curious.
The YouTube algorithm is infamously easy to poison. Even just watching one video about a subject is enough to unleash a cascade of slop.
When he was sleeping, I logged in with his Youtube account in another device (I manage his password and 2FA, he's an old man) and let Youtube play a lot of Lenin videos for hours
Спасибо, товарищ!
Better than that only a "State and Revolution" autographed by Lenin himself

Is the picture of Lenin from any documentary?
You look for the person who will benefit...And, uh...You know, you'll, uh...You know what I mean.
Is that a reference to the source of the image?
It's a quote from The Big Lebowski
Thank you
You are welcome
I do think the behavior of the system definitely suggests central management instead of any, like, uncoordinated class interest behavior. But at the end of the day, if you fix the structural problems, it doesn't even matter.
The central management is the government which largely acts as the management committee to resolve disputes between large capitalists.
Not quite what I mean. The way that control is orchestrated between the whole apparatus for the moves of the machine to function synchronously (media support of wars, wars happening in a way that benefits the largest companies, etc.).
For example, the way that even CNN seems to just be reading from a script re: manufacturing consent for the Palestinian genocide. It's beyond something like "they'll lose their White House press credentials if they don't play nice".
For sure, there is a lot of coordination happening. We can see some of that revealed with the usaid debacle where it turned out that a lot of "independent" media was actually state funded.
Go, Hunter S. Thompson looked different without his hat and sunglasses.
