Hey all, I have a fledgling gaming channel on YouTube Shorts and TikTok. I started it a month ago and it already has 45k YouTube views and 11k TikTok views.
I’m starting to add leftist messaging to the videos that use apolitical/innocuous words to express obviously political ideas. Help me come up with these types of taglines.
Because games, the demographics are:
-
96% male
-
47% ages 18-24
-
29% ages 25-34
-
33% :amerikkka:
-
23% :japan-cool:
-
6% :ukkk:
So far the games are: Apex Legends, Battlefield 2042 Beta, and Halo Beta. Plenty others to come.
Help me come up with some taglines that we can use on the videos. They don’t have to have any relation to the video itself. For instance, I recorded one that says
“If you produce it, you should own it”
which is OK.
I ultimately want a mix of:
- A few total inside joke memes
- A few super :based-department: but sneaky commie one liners
- A lot of pedestrian leftist shit about like, unions, health care, working conditions, anti-racism, international solidarity, and anti-capital/anti-rich rhetoric.
More examples
Miles O’Brien from Deep Space Nine saying “He was more than a hero. He was a union man!” which does say the word “union” but idk if they’ll pick that up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3SQ07AaAWg
Michael Brooks show outro tribute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY6iKuDH13w
If you put it in the thread, I’ll put it on a video. I upload quite a bit. They’re easy to create.
EDIT - the first video with a hexbear suggested line. Thank you /u/Owl!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TY5JP4GhtS0
If there’s a class that holds too much power, nerf it
That “more than a hero, he was a union man” line is a pretty good example for pushing back against that. It’s just a normative statement that being in a union is good, so there’s nothing to really engage with. The audience’s brain increments the number of times they’ve heard “union good” by one, then you move on. Eventually they’ve heard “union good” about as many times as they’ve heard “union bad,” but heard a whole lot more reasons why unions are bad, which then makes them a lot more willing to listen to someone else explain why unions are good.
Great advice.
Yeah I want to mostly avoid that, and threw it in because I couldn’t think of anything sort of basal and universal, and chalked that video up to the “memez” category.
Still trying to come up with those non-terminology taglines, like maybe the one I did record should be changed to “if you make something at work, it should belong to you” - even “produce” is a bit triggering to some
-
You should be able to vote on whether your landlord can raise rent.
-
You should be able to vote on who your boss is.
-
People shouldn’t have to sleep in the streets while homes sit empty.
-
If the US is so great, why doesn’t it have any good trains.
-
Owning stuff isn’t a real job.
-
Everyone who works for a living deserves a raise.
Someone posted that Skyrim crafting meme here a few days ago, with an ingot’s base price, then the value of the items you can craft from it, showing the addition of labor value to the ingot.
Maybe something like that?
New video, with the “vote for your boss” line!
seeming as “under no pretext” seems to wash over people to the point where you can troll trumpers into thinking Reagan said the full Marx quote, you could use it regularly
ie: under no pretext should bloodhound be nerfed
