The Netizen
The Netizen YT channel aims to facilitate informational awareness re: current issues & events (I&Es), particularly for those who strive to approach novel data with a default neutral view. Due to their nature, many I&Es demand that we all share the responsibility of ensuring we are collectively, accurately informed in relation to developing, current, & worsening problems on the planet. Negligence in basic but imperative areas of evidence (e.g., criticality of standards of evidence, among other core concepts & practices, plus particular evidenced phenomena such as cognitive biases), logic (critical concepts & basic familiarization with logical fallacies), and critical thinking generally (including efficiently & effectively evaluating sources, etc.), effectively disable attaining true socio-economic, political, and other such empowerment via accurate modeling of the environments and context we exist in. There are many enemies to understanding and progress, but the greatest is ourselves.

The Netizen
Oh, my dear USA...
We must search for opposing POVs instead of assuming our algorithmically automated feeds are a representative sample of signals...Stay sane by silencing the noise of the (especially corporate, mainstream and mass, but even alternative, "independent," and/or 'new') interpersonal media streams we tune into however regularly.
As to the shared video I've linked, some words...
Nothing wrong (per se, at least) with corrective legislation around illegal immigration. BUT. The execution of its enforcement, has grossly crossed ethical lines beyond count by this point. 'But we must protect ourselves, our future stability, etc. of this country!...' By basically any means? What if it was the 'whole world' at stake, not necessarily just a major country - well, consider in conjunction, this old challenge / question..."For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?"
Besides, in the meantime - are we the people, to just passively allow an increasingly militarized occupation of our spaces across the nation?
Surely, 'safety and security' (and associated, enforcement - sometimes retrospectively - of 'law and order') do matter, however that doesn't necessarily mean they supersede all else entirely...
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Check your conscience, America.
