      Looking at the rest of the channel’s videos, I would hazard a guess that none of them are experts in anything.

        Breaking Points is pretty great. Saagar’s UFO enthusiasm is over the top, I shouldn’t even have posted this here obviously, but they do good reporting. The video titles are click baity on purpose but they constantly say on the full show they only do that to please the algorithm, I agree it makes them look like a typical rage machine on the surface but I’ve found them to be the opposite. It’s the only political news show I can watch without feeling like I’m back to doom scrolling on Reddit. The show actually helped get me out of that cycle, which was a pretty big problem for me.

      That’s what I’ve been leaning towards since the beginning. But it is 2023, the unfathomable seems to happen on a monthly basis these days.

        1- Aliens are real= Scary. 2. Aliens are not real and US government is lying to its citizens = Scary. There is no outcome that isn’t scary.

          I prefer aliens are real over the government lying :/ It’s uncertain, but I wouldn’t call it scary. If they’re real, and they haven’t killed us yet, maybe they’re not backgalaxy savages.
