Ok, ignoring the rest of this comment...

i don't use capitals by principle bc i am an anarchist and keep it to a minimum to level out all hierarchical systems of control and make you realise these language rules are all social conditioning.

This is wildly unhinged to me. Not the anarchist part, but that I'm supposed to somehow infer this all from the lack of proper capitalization.

Look, I don't really care if people follow grammar rules or capitalization, and I ignore them on most platforms myself. But I really don't think it's this deep, at least for most people.

Anyway, the video is appreciated yes, but the post came across the wrong way since it basically read like keyword soup. It's better to share videos with a description of the video or some personal commentary on it so that people know what they're going to watch (or not watch, especially for Youtube links which some will avoid).
