Does anyone know the name of the song that plays at the end of Contrapoints's video on conspiracies?
It pops into my head now and then, and I don't see it listed with the soundtracks by OVXX

Conspiratorial Thinking
I don’t know if this post will be considered on topic to comply with this subreddit rules, but I just need to get this off my chest.
With the recent escalation of conflict involving the United States, Israel, Iran, and other Middle Eastern countries, I can’t help but feel hopeless. The scale of what’s happening feels larger than before, and it makes me question the timing and motives behind it.
Part of me wonders whether Trump could be intentionally encouraging or participating in this escalation to shift attention away from his alleged involvement in the Epstein files. I know these regional tensions have existed for years (especially as someone who lives in the region) and this conflict didn’t begin overnight.
I’m aware that I might be doing exactly what Contrapoints described in her “Conspiracy” video: looking for a scapegoat and assigning intentionality to make sense of all of this chaos. It’s easier to believe there’s a clear reason than to accept that events may be unfolding for stupid reasons: just men with unchecked power inflating their egos and flexing their weapons at the expense of innocent
I think I should stop listening to some people in my entourage and stop looking at the Epstein subreddit

ContraPoints is a Political Youtuber
Why is this Reddit removing political posts? Especially when it has to with Trans rights and left-side politics. Wouldn’t this be the place to discuss it?

Social media and Cringe
I really like Cringe video as its such a nuance but relatable topic for everyone to relate to, on reaction videos or mascoting, and the lowcal culture
I do think there needs to be more discussion on how social media can create cringe or give platforms for cringe, you can get people who are either Toxic and take advantage of people thst create stuff that looks cringe but still monetise
Or anyone having a bad day will have embarrassing moments recorded and shared everywhere
Or you can get people who are lonely individuals who do feel alienated and do embarrassing cringe videos who want to get some attention
And social media creating this ecosystem that create it

Did anyone else only watch/read Twilight AFTER watching Natalie's video? + What was your experience?
I want to start by saying I LOVE the Twilight video, definitely one of Natalie's best. It's a much needed defence of female sexuality in media and I adore it for that.
Personally, I went into it having never seen the Twilight movies. Around the early 2010s, I read half of the first book and got bored, but I was pretty young, so wasn't exactly the target audience. But as a girl who spent her mid teens on Wattpad, I was still able to resonate with the themes of the Twilight video, and it made me respect the books as a huge influence on the dark romance genre.
One weekend, I decided to binge the Twilight movies with my partner. I went into it thinking "this is probably going to be trashy, but I'm sure if I don't take it too seriously I'll be able to appreciate it for what it is". But in all honestly, I completely regretted the decision to binge it half way through the second movie.
For me at least, the romance stuff is too sparse and too rushed to be titilating (particularly after the first movie). Edward and Jacob are insufferable. Bella, while definitely over-hated, is constantly making baffling decisions. And the fantasy plot is horribly undercooked. Really took me out of it.
Don't get me wrong, I can still appreciate the importance of Twilight, and I definitely don't bash people that like it. I also appreciate that Natalie's video was really more about defending what Twilight represented and its cultural influence than the franchise itself. But beyond that, even pushing past the "dark romance" of it all, I just couldn't stand it.
Curious if anyone else had an experience like this though?
