AND a Nazi sympathizer, racist, bigot, antisemite, misogynist, and all around general asshole.

Edit: Okay...feel like I need to rant, because this is a particularly pretty stupid video.

  • It's 1h2m long, with maybe 10m of actual facts about Ford being a piece of shit (he unquestionably is)
  • The guest here is just spouting off all kinds of historically inaccurate things about various groups of people.
  • The guest also says in one breath that Native American agricultural techniques were "stolen and appropriated" (what?), and then in another breath tells viewers to go read about ancient Korean farming techniques and use those if you're into farming (df...)
  • 75% of the content of this house is surrounding a fascistic newspaper that Ford pushed before WWII (that really should have been the title)
  • 15% is just the guest rambling off how awful everyone else is they don't give communism a chance (lolz, he must not stay up on the news)
  • The last bit is specifically about Ford being a gigantic piece of shit (which he is)

Skip through, save some time, but the bulk here is the guest guy pushing communism as an alternative to modern world woes with capitalism, and then some random shit about the "Islamic nature against Capitalism" which is news to me. The main guy also said Qatar is doing so well, it puts every other country to shame, so...take that for what it is if you know anything about Qatar (modern slavery, human rights abuses, LGBTQ oppression, misogynistic laws, class differentials in lawmaking...etc). So they're railing on Ford, but in that one sentence about Qatar, also saying his bullshit seems to work in Qatar, so...

ANOTHER EDIT to say: the person posting this crap is the main host of this video. He's also all over various social media posting links to his medium where he is (I am not shitting you) PRAISING MUAMMAR GADDAFI AS ONE OF THE GREATEST LEADERS OF THE 20TH CENTURY.

This whole breadtube has become a parody of itself at this point. It's a shame because when it started out there was. Some good stuff. Contra points still rocks but does she even count as breadtube any more?

I don't think this fits here tbh... what is your issue with the above analysis.

Gaddafi’s Achievements:

Economic Prosperity: Under Gaddafi, Libya transformed from one of the poorest countries in the world to the country with the highest Human Development Index in Africa. The nationalization of oil resources allowed Libya to invest heavily in social programs and infrastructure.

Education: Gaddafi’s government prioritized education, raising the literacy rate from 25% to 88%. Education was free at all levels, and students often received scholarships to study abroad.

Healthcare: Libya developed a robust, free healthcare system that was considered one of the best in the Middle East and North Africa. Life expectancy increased from 51 to 74 years during Gaddafi’s rule.

Housing: Gaddafi considered housing a human right. His government provided interest-free loans for home purchases and implemented extensive public housing projects.

Women’s Rights: Gaddafi’s Libya was progressive in terms of women’s rights for the region. Women had equal rights to education, employment, and divorce.

Infrastructure: The Great Man-Made River project, one of the largest irrigation projects in the world, was initiated to provide water to Libya’s desert regions.

African Unity: Gaddafi was a strong advocate for African unity and independence from Western influence, often using Libya’s oil wealth to support other African nations.
