I believe that the video's main thesis -- that financial commoditization has taken over education and that's it's a problem -- is honest and accurate. And I learned a little bit from the transcript (Reagan's involvement in changing the system way back when in the 70s in California.)

That's what threw me for a loop. Most of what I see come out of Second Thought is "and that's why don't vote for the Democrats" faux-socialism. It's like... hey, are you feeling okay? This video seemed fine and that's not normal.

Or perhaps it's your analysis of Second Thought that is incorrect.

Certainly possible. What do you think... instead of analyzing things critically the best that I'm able, should I just start saying "superficially left wing == good, someone called it 'liberal' == bad"? Or maybe just going with the majority of the group?

IDK, I'm not planning to do either of those things, just asking what you think.
