Is this what you're talking about?

It's interesting that this went so viral. I've had two friends independently send it to me and now I see it here. Seems fishy and a lot of the comments under it don't seem genuine. Lots of "I'm sending this to everyone I know" or "the people who need to hear this won't". Bizarre.

Seems to be sponsored by academyofideas.com. Good luck finding who actually runs that site.

But do you disagree with the video? It seems pretty spot on to me. People *are* going mad and (violently) turning against each other, and the media and governments are perpetuating it.

Regarding the comments -- that's YT for you. The comments section is always weird.

Neither of those examples are bizarre. The latter is correct.

The three original videos he produced on the topic are a better example than the cartoonified version:

I've listened to/followed the guy who runs that site for years now. He makes every video himself. I also pay for his members-only subscription.

Ultimately, yes.
