Hysteria? Most of what I'm seeing is denial about climate change, about the worsening political climate, and about the growing inequality
Venezuela 2002 is a big old lie, can't believe that people really publish dictatorship propaganda without realizing it undermines their point.
Most people who live at the border tend to speak both, specially if people cross the border everyday to work

Or instead of continuing to treat disabled people as less than, the government actually creates some anti-discrimination laws with some teeth and then enforces them

YT Community fact checking rule
Got an email message from Youtube that reads: "We are inviting you to pilot a new Youtube feature that allows you to add helpful notes to videos. These notes will provide additional information and create a better informed Youtube Community. How this works: When you find a video that might be confusing or inaccurate, you can submit a note clarifying it. Your contributions will be reviewed by others with a wide range of views to ensure their quality and helpfulness before being added to the information panel below the video. Together, we can make Youtube even more helpful for everyone."
