    glad I got here from Tom's video. it's an extension of my understanding of the crowd and why it is so villified (most times)

    I had to watch this a few times to fully appreciate it, but that part about how no one sets a c*p car on fire thinking it will end racism, but people are changed by the experience of revolt: that hits hard.

    WOW this was amazing!! Loved the background images, the music and the message of radical hope. Really inspiring and so well done. Plus idk how you can be that good/ charistmatic/ engaging at speaking on camera, I'm always so awkward :D

    This was another great video! Noticed the copy of Riot Strike Riot which is one of my favourite books I've read this year. Much of what you spoke about here is actually really closely related to threads I'm picking up in my PhD. One chapter is going to explore whether perspectives generated by grass roots human rights action is compatible with the neoliberal view of the individual or if it would create a different idea of humanity: one where the collective responsibility to each other is emphasised over the neoliberal responsibility to be an individualistic capitalist actor. So yeah this video feels like it was made for me haha

    Amazing video! Only thing I'd note is to not use fade-in-fade-out transitions and stick to jump cuts, I think they make the editing smoother. Other than that? Fantastic use of music, the script was superb, and I absolutely adore the laborkyle motif of footage kind of 'haunting' the background as you speak. Two of my favs in one video, looking so forward so the next one!

    Great work my dudes! I know you focused more on a de-individuation of crowds but what I'm curious to here are your thoughts on mechanisms of decentralized organization which I think in this latest uprising has become an even more prominent talking point. So do you think that with some of the new tools we have (say the internet) it's possible to keep up momentum and morale in the face of state suppression? (My moneyis on yes but I can see how a decentralised group can be more easily fractured) curious to hear your thoughts, great work!
