Apparently, Mr Roger’s first episode he spoke against the Vietnam war
A good start. Now we only need people to start realising it's not the 'inaction' of world leaders that's the problem; it's the active support of the genocide.
What’s with the constant skip jumping? Is this part of a coherent message that she originally shared. I’m behind her but this format was grating.
In the era of instant gratification, there is no time to breath. Maybe you've caught yourself skipping a post without thinking. Some posts are just too wordy. Our brains filter it out nearly subconsciously. The result of this competitive hyper targeted content delivery is a severely shortened attention span. Thinking is becoming more and more painful.
Also, Ms. Rachel is very amateur at video editing.

Fuck
Really insightful comment though. I dislike that entire medium for reasons I've never been able to fully articulate, and I think you touched on a big piece of it.
But it's early and I was being intellectually lazy.
Maybe she didn’t script it and she cut out gaps where she considered her next sentence. I don’t use the app but my guess is tiktok has a max on the length of a video so maybe she also cut other lines out so it would fit. I agree, I’m not a fan of choppy editing but I understand that people sometimes want to get a thought out there with just one take
How to tell she's right: people griping about the presentation instead of the substance.
I don’t disagree with the content. I still couldn’t sit through the whole thing and I tried three times. Delivery is important, not sure what your point is.
