This is a Veritasium video. Despite the clicky-baity title it’s not an indictment of democracy. He’s just talking about the mathematical problems inherent in different voting systems. YT Link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf7ws2DF-zk

8. Ms. Liu no longer lives with her father having moved out of her family home in September 2022 aged 16, but for the past two years she has regularly visited him at her family home a few nights per month. Ms. Liu further explained that on many of these visits since her father began using his dorzolamide eyedrops, she would lie on her father’s bed to talk and spend time with him each evening beginning around 8:00 p.m. and would stay on his bed from 30 to 90 minutes at a time, during which time she would have contact with her father’s pillows and bedding.13 When reacting to a funny or emotional story or video she shared with her father, which was not uncommon, Ms. Liu would sometimes press her face into the pillow while laughing.14 Ms. Liu explained that as a young child she grew up talking and spending time with both of her parents in their beds while they relaxed and that she had continued with that family tradition when visiting her father, and treasured it all the more since she no longer lived with him.15
9. Ms. Liu’s father corroborated Ms. Liu’s explanation that in June 2023 he was prescribed dorzolamide eyedrops to treat his glaucoma which he administered in his bed twice daily until ceasing use in late March 2024

A little odd, but not unbelievable. There was also a point made that this medication would not help her compete in her field of artistic swimming and that the measured quantities were extremely low, consistent with it being absorbed through the skin. So on the whole it sounds like there’s no real controversy here.

Real shame they blew up those statues of Buddha. Those might have draw in some tourists. :|

PVC paneling for inside the home. Great. Just what we need. More plastic. :|

The title and description were taken direction from the YT video by OP. I suspect that they were intended to lure those on YT who might be more sympathetic to the idea of a “Deep State” as expounded upon by those on the far right in hopes to enlighten some about what the real deep state looks like. It’s fair to say that Lemmy, at least this instance, tends to lean the other way, so perhaps a different title would have been more appropriate here.

Time to put away the pitchforks. It’s not what the title and description might suggest. This is just an exposé by Johnny Harris on the history and overreaches of the intelligence apparatus here in the US .

Aside from the one line of text in the description, at no point does the video attempt to repudiate the great orange troll.

Well that was a bit of an unexpected roller-coaster.

Good, but unnecessarily long video. There were some funny bits and good examples, but it dragged on and more or less devolved into a rant video.

The correct assertion that AI doesn’t really (currently) exist could have also been better explained. Good examples of why that is true were talked about, but not in service of reinforcing that statement. Instead, the assertion was used to punctuate the examples. So good examples and correct points, but it feels like the argument could have been better made.

They are either profoundly ignorant or a damned liar. In either case, it doesn’t make them look good.
