Political rant videos are basically preaching to the choir. Even when right they aren't really telling you anything new it's just, complaining about things. I'm all in favor of that but it does hit s point where it just gets tired to me. You need to complain about things but I do agree a nice humorous spin can be a lot better since it makes you at the very least feel happy while listening to how terrible things are.

Still that's a barrier to comedians getting their message out. I see a lot of comedians go and say something funny. But it's not really a joke. They say some true thing that everyone knows, and they say it in a non-threatening palatable way, but people laugh at it because of that and it doesn't threaten their positions. Since they can just brush off the true criticism as being just a joke.

I sit in comedy shows laughing and enjoying myself, but I sometimes hear a joke, think it's very funny, but not because the joke is funny, but because everyone is laughing at the joke. Because to me it's not a joke, but everyone laughing at this ridiculous aspect of society and not taking it seriously, that is the joke.

I'm really not sure how you can get this message our or get people to listen to it better. "Can you change your sex yes no?" Has a pretty obvious answer. But your answer is either rooted in physical reality or it's rooted in ideological orthodoxy. There's no middle ground between them because they utterly use two very different lines of logic to arrive at their conclusion. It's like trying to explain to your friends why going with the nice Jehovah's Witness that came by is a bad idea, or explaining to your friend why they won't get rich selling Tupperware.

If I have to explain to someone why taking hormones and cutting their dick off isn't going to make them happy, I mean I can do it. I can explain why it's not going to make them happy. But the idea is just so bizzare to begin with that if you don't intrinsically understand why it's a bad idea you are already fucked.
