I'm under the impression that Google deliberately hinders their YouTube platform just because you have ad-blockers. With videos taking time to buffer, seems to signal this, because it almost makes up nearly the amount of time for when ads take if you had to watch them. So since you're ad-blocking and they don't like that, they'll make your experience miserable until you want to pay their service or not use ad-block.

Its because you have to have a certain degree of apathy in nature. Apathetic enough not to drain yourself on distant others, but not so much you neglect your own kin and offspring.

These are such conditions that allow for a fascist takeover. It is THE fascist playbook, to fearmonger the safety of your children, and scapegoating it on others. Its your empathy that drives you to protect your children, and the apathy that pushes you to accept the persecution of minorities.

This is why fascism is so pervasive, it preys upon the biological workings of human psyche. This is what needs to be taught in schools rather than "a bunch of evil people got into power and killed everybody"
