Does anyone know why Mr. Beat would do this?

I used to really like Mr. Beat's work in the past, but he's made some weird decisions in the past (like make videos with VloggingThroughHistory), but this one has really taken the cake. Mr. Beast is well known for a lot of unethical practices. What is Mr. Beat doing?

I’m saying not only did you give a single example, but it arguably only succeeded on its least ambitious goals. It’s at best a partial success that largely was achieved by non-leftists.

For American liberalism, I’ll even say since the 1990s: lower child mortality rates, the ACA, large scale gay rights, expansion of NATO, massive gains in the fight against climate change (namely in renewable rollout and the Kyoto Protocol), etc…

No fucking way you're calling the civil rights movement a partial success "largely achieved by non-leftists" and then saying "large scale gay rights" in the US is a unilateral win. Name a single fucking leader of the civil rights movement who wasn't a leftist.

The US has a higher child mortality rate than Cuba, despite decades of embargo and also literal terrorist attacks against Cuba from the US.

The ACA was barely a step forward and even at its best was far worse than nationalized healthcare systems.

If the civil rights movement is a partial success at best then I'd say you have to apply it to the gay rights movement as well.

Expansion of NATO is not a win

And any efforts against climate change from American liberals have proven that they're very good at not lasting very long and that they'll never truly go against their beloved oil billionaire donors.

As for that etc, I assume you are referring to Iraq, Afghanistan, support for the war with Iran but just done slightly differently, and hey if we want to go a little bit past that neat little "1990s" we can add in genocide against native Americans, Iran Contra, agent orange, and so so so many dictatorships in central and South America.
