New World Order: Global Events 1990-1994
New World Order: Global Events 1990-1994

Intelexual (2:01:32) What were the major (and not-so-reported-but-still-major) world events of the early 1990s? The USSR was dying, the economy was suffering, and problems abounded. Observers theorized on America's future role in a post-soviet world. First, we look into America's foreign policy and George Bush's New World Order speech before noting the role of the United Nations. Then we travel to dozens of locations around the world (from the UK, to France, to Afghanistan, to Palestine, to Rwanda, to South Africa, to Cuba, to Peru, to Japan, to China-- and lots of places in between. How did structural adjustment, the World Bank, and the international monetary fund impact developing nations? How did George Bush lie about Iraq? How were revolutionary governments neutered by globalization and neoliberal politics? How did some governments, like China and Cuba, adapt? How did the world fail Rwanda and other nations struggling from genocide?

The Traumatized Mythology behind the Founding of Israel and the Genocide in Gaza
The Traumatized Mythology behind the Founding of Israel and the Genocide in Gaza

Ornament and Crime: What does Jewish mythology have to teach us - or rather, what warnings does it have - about Israel's oppression of Palestinians? (1:34:34)

"when we forget ourselves, we become the monster"

Liy: A Jewish anti-fascist art historian wears the kuffiyeh and chats like a friend with receipts. I thought I didn't need this video but I was wrong actually! This is exactly how I want to learn abt Jewish solidarity with Palestine. You've probably been scrolling through a lot of rapid short-form education... Focusing for 90min seems wild but it's a great antidote for my broken brain. At one point she takes a break, pause and do the same! I love long videos because there's more room to feel human when sharing info instead of in polished 5min rapid summaries. She weaves together what u learned from social media but with art, architecture, history. Her cat Pikachu is VERY CUTE

‘First World’ Privilege, the Decline of the U.S., and Romanticizing Life Abroad, a video essay
‘First World’ Privilege, the Decline of the U.S., and Romanticizing Life Abroad, a video essay

Cheyenne Lin (1:13:23) The U.S. is known as ‘the best country in the world’, but where does this notion even come from and why is it so persistent despite the fact that the U.S. seems to be inferior to many countries, specifically other wealthy nations in the imperial core when it comes to walkability, third places, car culture, and public transport? In addition, is the U.S. only inferior to their ‘first world’ equals or to countries in the global south as well? And lastly, how does first world privilege come into play when moving abroad and romanticizing one’s life there? In this video essay I talk about imperial privilege, as well as U.S. privilege and ‘first world’ privilege and how its tied to race and class, as well as the global hierarchy of countries and U.S. imperialism. I also talk about the decline of the U.S., no third spaces, car culture, and the romanticization of your life abroad trend as an American.

Clearly all of these massively known companies and corporations see a big enough of profit potential to be bending over backwards and sideways like this
