Note on todays video

I (and I’m sure most) don’t give support to have their name on the videos, but greatly appreciate the consideration. That said I’m not sure why anyone would still be here if they didn’t align with you on issues like these anyway. Fight the good fight!

It's a brilliant video and I would have been pleased and proud to have my name associated with it. That said, it was a brutal watch. I think anyone still here is likely to be pretty much aligned with your world view on ... this kind of thing; then again, I remember the almighty Lindsay Ellis once had a Patron demand a refund from her after some contrived/manufactured outrage on twitter willfully misinterpreting something she said, so you have to be vigilant against that in this kind of territory, I guess.

I would more than gladly put my name on that video but I think it was a good idea of you to do it the way you did it. The cut to black ending was also great!

As a trans electronic technician for a public school district, I appreciate you advocating that my livelihood not be destroyed by the republican's procedural dismantling of the US education system over the past 40 years. I'm a little upset that science museums didn't win the poll because I really wanted to learn how to drop an egg from really high without breaking it, but your video was incredible

Thank you for speaking out on this subject.

My god-given christian name is Riemann Zeta-Jones and I endorse your video

Having now seen the video. For any video Angela is willing to publish under her name, I would be honoured to have my name in it. Yes that is a blank check.

I can't remember-was this before the announcement of JD Vance as VP candidate? Guessing Dr. Collier *might* have some thoughts there. Also shouting out to Trey Crowder, the Liberal Redneck. Check him out.

Hard agree on all of the above. This was brilliantly stated. Happy to have my name on it.

I agreed with all of your points and would have been happy to have my name on it.

I live in Czech Republic and it was really painful and sad to hear some more about the issues of the educational system in the US. I work as a teacher here also and I'm sure if I'd move to US (considering it because of a science career), to continue as a teacher there would be so much harder and possibly even not worth it. I won't comment on your country's politics but I stand 100% for discussing the politics, be it on this channel, when the issue is so alarming. You provided a clear picture there.

Glad you took the stance you did and love the way you framed it. Proud to be a supporter

Very considerate of you to think about it, I haven't watched the video yet but I'm pretty confident I'd be happy having my name at the end of it.

You can put my name on it

Totally cool with not having my name on the video, but I would also happily countersign your statement after watching it 😀

I was worried by this post that this video would make see a side of Angela that we hadn't seen before. But the video actually completely tracks with my expectations of her. Just as lovely a watch as any other Angela Collier video!

Angela I understand but I just finished watching the video and I would have been proud to have my name on the screen and I'm going to raise my pledge to the next tier.

I don't think this video was that political. I mean if you are calling out nazis who are then chasing you with rifles, then do not include me. Or if you go into uncharted territories which are not very discussed in conventional media, like, I don't know, all of us boil in 10 years because of global warming so even if there is a little bit too late maybe this is about the good time to stop all the machinery and to bury people who have objections and so on, then, again, I kind of understand that you prefer marching alone, relying on community backing vs. being truly revolutionary seem mutually exclusive. But this video is just a moderate rant against Republicans, not even the title is provocative, not even something like "Education Week Project 2025 = Death Race 2000". Regarding education, I truly hope this video conveys our unanimous opinion.

My name is Zafra Whitcomb and I approve of this message.

Art funding has been under attack for forty years by my count. I've lived long enough to attend quite a few high school reunions. What I noticed over the years is that everyone who went on to obtain advanced degrees, found their own businesses, live overseas, speak multiple languages, etc. -- all of them -- were in the music, theater, speech, and art programs. Even if they have doctorates in scientific disciplines, like me, they were all in the arts programs. I think arts are the most valuable courses we have. Cutting arts is not only bad for people, it's ruinous for the economy.

Hi, that’s really considerate but honestly I doubt I’d have any problem - although if I like and agree what you say I reserve the right to be peeved that my name isn’t at the end ;)

Top quality acollierastro vid. 100%. Classic. Very Informational, and also inspiring. No complaints. 10/10. 100% stand behind the video. Wouldn't have been a problem.

I wouldn't support you (especially at the level I do) if I didn't agree with your politics. Just finished the video and I agree with every single point. In fact, I think I like your political videos more than your other videos. I'd be proud to have my name associated with you :) All that said, though, your feelings are valid, and I respect them, so you absolutely made the right choice here.

We could all use a physicist to inject some additional dimensions into the political discussion. So tired of the left vs right thing, especially when the nature of our problems seem to be more of a top vs bottom thing, or maybe more a forward vs backward thing... kinda feels like an endless pushing and pulling motion, now that I think about it. At any rate, I really hope people start moving their minds in different directions for a change, slide to the left a bit in some areas, slide to the right in others, perhaps even crisscross, then cha-cha real smooth.

This is very considerate thank you! I wish I understand more American politics and culture before moving here. I don’t really understand it still but am trying to, maybe your video help to make sense.

Maybe I'll eat my words when the video comes out, but I'm pretty sure I'd be fine with having my name on it. Also, is it just me or do a significant proportion of Angela's videos feel political, even if they're not explicitly engaging in partisan politics? Anyway, thank you for the consideration.

If it helps to keep me out of The Camps I'm all for it! And looking forward to hearing your boring Physics stuff.

After reading the other comments, it's going to be comedy gold if Angela comes out as a hardcore Trumper

Thanks for the consideration. Whatever you think is best/appropriate. Tho I doubt your politics is very far off from my own. Keep on keeping on.

I would personally be fine with it (anyone who loves Terry Pratchett is unlikely to have bad political takes) but I can see the logic. Not everyone might be comfortable with this sort of blind endorsement.

Given what I have seen about your politics, I would be proud to have my name on a political video of yours! But I also respect that this is a touchy, difficult time and figuring out a way to bucket people who are / are not comfortable with that kind of thing is a huge amount of very annoying and thankless work, so tldr: sounds good, thank you for being so thoughtful!

Recently Rick Beato put out his latest rant and included previous interviewees and I thought that was shitty since I'm sure they hadn't agreed to it. I like that you've felt the other way. 🤟🏻

No worries!

That’s a good consideration, thanks!

Appreciate the gesture, though for what it's worth, I'd stand by you and your politics, if prior videos are any indication.

I'd totally be down to have my name on the video. Even though I do not agree with you on everything, you are one thing above all: Fair. And that is worth the support and to stand by it. Hope the video goes well for you! Imma get some popcorn :)

👍🏽

Hey Angela thank you for being considerate! I love the new video and look forward to uploads :)))

Honestly I wouldn’t have even thought about that being a problem. Thanks for being so conscientious.
