Archiving Carlos Maza

I love Carlos Maza. He's a fantastic writer and journalist with a keen eye for bias and a deep understanding of how corporate media distorts our shared politics. He used to work for Vox on a series called Strikethrough, but a few years ago he struck out on his own to start his own YouTube channel.

He's managed to produce some truly brilliant stuff. From his "what if we win" argument in "Too Far Left", to the poetry of "How to be Hopeless", to the absolute evisceration of corporate media in "The 'Pay for It' Scam", Maza has dome some excellent work explaining the complexities of media, politics, and (especially in How to be Hopeless) the sisyphean struggle of what it is to exist in this world. I just love everything he makes.

So you can imagine how I feel now that his Patreon has disappeared, and his merch store has shuttered. I don't know if his videos are next, so I want to preserve them because they're just too damned brilliant to be allowed to disappear.

So, just in case they're about to be culled from the internet, here they are, in chronological order:
