I don’t understand why people are complaining about a women’s world cup player being trans
It’s still a biological female, playing against other biological females, which is completley fair? Why does gender matter? I don’t think trans females should compete in female sports due to the physical advantages - it’s not fair on biological females. But there’s no difference here?
Also, imagine if this was a biological man coming out as trans. Would we start persuading them to go be a female footballer? No, since we know that’s unfair on females.
This whole incident just shows in sports that instead of having some acceptance of trans people in sports, we whine and complain saying they’re in the wrong category.

That video seems very sketchy. I checked the other videos on the channel, and they seem very biased. This, and the fact that they portray socialism as a perfect system make me think that there’s some stuff they’re leaving out.
There’s also just how propaganda-y it seems. “All of your problems are caused by capitalism. If we switch to socialism, all of your problems will disappear!” Overall, it doesn’t seem very trustworthy, but I also might just be biased because of the number of other similar video essays I’ve seen that turned out to be complete bullshit. Who knows?
did you watch the whole thing??? he literally says in the video that he’s not saying it’s a perfect system. it's just a vision for the future that would almost definitely be better for society as a whole. Based on the flaws of the current system, is it not logical to work toward a better future? Also, how is it propaganda-y compared to literally any video advocating for capitalism lmao
I did, I was just listening to it in the background while trying to fix my computer. But still, the fact that I didn’t notice him going in depth into any of the flaws still leaves me skeptical.
Also you’re not going to find any unbiased youtube videos that care more about educating people than spreading a certain viewpoint. You’re just not.
i also want to say that the term "propaganda" is usually used against Socialists in an unfair way. The term propaganda can be used very loosely. For example, the U.S. government saying "cigarettes are bad" is propaganda (it’s a government message). Unless he said something that's false, using the term "propaganda" against him is stupid. Instead of saying "it sounds like propaganda", try to find something he says that is untrue throughout the entire video. If you gave me a pro-capitalist video, I could usually identify 5-10 false statements, but for some mysterious reason, capitalists never extend the same favor in return.
Fine, he seems like he is playing off of people’s frustrations and desires to promise an unrealistic utopia under socialism, while ignoring any downsides.
but what did he say that was false? also, what downsides do you think he should have mentioned? also, have you ever seen a pro-capitalist video essay that says that capitalism is flawed???
idk, I’m too lazy to do any research on it. The video was just raising some echo chamber red flags.
Also, about the capitalist video essay, I don’t watch video essays for that very reason.
