What radicalized me? I don't know, media literacy? I don't know how the fuck you grow up reading/watching/listening to Star Trek, superheroes, Saturday morning cartoons, hip-hop, A Christmas Carol, Sesame Street, and damn near every piece of media and not come away with any empathy or moral center.

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste.

Hank Green makes the case that populism was inevitable in this moment of a new communications technology (many-to-many social media), and along the way makes observations about the role of trust in a functional society, along with many other nuggets of brilliance. Spend a half hour on it. Trust me.
This is one of those videos that you could work on forever, but suddenly it felt very important to make it, so I finally did: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8Pn...
