I have always been a Contrarywise, a Heyoka, and have been targeted plenty. It's amazing what you can find, when you reinstall the OS, and when you turn off the Google login.

This is basically the Marxist perspective,
which ordinarily immunises people against conspiracy theory and mindless nationalism, and which has been missing from American education and culture since the late 1940s and the advent of McCarthyism, and which is increasingly missing from British comprehensive education.
I mostly agree with everything this lady says, except for the obviously anti-American origin myth at the start, and the Australian right wing normative culture war bullshit at the end.
