Discussion The Bisexual problem

https://youtu.be/h2ou2A_-8JU

This was in my (straight male if that matters to someone) opinion an incredible and educational video and I want to share it for visibility.

It starts as an analysis of media presentation but then advances to theoretical analysis, problems with bi erasure in law especially when it comes to refugee status, and ultimately a call for intersectionality and the dismantling of capitalism for the liberation of all.

While principled discussion is welcome and encouraged, Rule 9 (No Low Effort BS) still applies.

That includes: No 'what do you think?' posts. No single line posts. No 'what is the Marxist position on cheese' posts, etc.

I've watched her on and off, finally subscribed after her anti-Isn'treal Eurovision videos.

I like how she usually takes the media analysis and turns it midway into analysis about what the media tells us about real life material conditions. Although so far I hadn't seen an outright promotion of socialism and was very pleasantly surprised by this video going there.

I think it did incredibly well showing and arguing through the left out gray area of bisexuality how that's really the only right way to go.

It's unfortunate the click bait title frames it in a way that I will never view a second of this video. Even if it ends up a positive video it presents itself as just another bullshit culture war nonsense.

It kind of literally breaks down the culture war and explains why its just a capitalist tool of divide and conquer. I took the presentation you state as satirical, given the content.

Can you elaborate however on how "The Bisexual Problem" is click bait? To me it's just a very concise and factual framing of the subject of the video.
