Anyone else get recommended this video on Melbourne's outer suburbs? The guy says all the right things but the vibes are off for me. He interviews a Liberal MP, his other videos seem sussy, and to me he has 'Liberal Party Member Face'
Was recommended that video too.
I ended up watching this one.
Seeing suburbs designed for cars like that makes me want to become an urban planner.
I live in Mernda near Donnybrook and Kalkalo and I hate it. It's why I ride my bike as much as I can and I want to get a cargo bike to take the kids around.
I'm so lucky I found a job over in Epping so I don't have a long commute. I can leave by 7 and be home by 4:30. I've been meaning to talk to my manager about just taking a half hour lunch break so I could be home by 4 even.
Must be the time for it. We’re all seeing it
Yeah I did yesterday.
The only political party he follows on Instagram is the Victorian Socialists 🤔
That's reassuring. He has a video on the safe injecting rooms here. Watching that one should be illuminating on his opinions
I watched it and couldn’t work out if he had a stance on it. Everything seemed fairly neutral with him letting others give opinions. There was circus music playing over hostile comments though which is a hint
I feel like the Liberals can seem authentic talking about a lack of urban planning because Labour has been in power for ten years. But I don't know how you could be convinced they'd be any better.
I wonder if they're trialling funding people to go do extremely locallised video essays on sympathetic subjects? That's what this guy's channel seems to be all about.
Sorry, I meant in the state of Victoria. And you're right, the classic line I hear about those sorts of people is "What no class analysis does to an MF".
And they have to lander their image through somewhere. God knows they can't present normal themselves.
