You can't produce a similar video about church based daycares in the Texas suburbs, because 1) Texas provides very little childcare funding, it's simply not a priority to subsidize moms to work(help for low income mothers through state-funded private charity does exist, and I suspect some of it probably is misdirected- but you'd need to prove it through boring accounting auditing of the center which provides diapers to low income families, not showing up unannounced, and pregnancy resource centers are already a maximum progressive target so if it was anywhere near as widespread as seems to be happening in Somali communities there'd already be a media expose) and 2) church based daycares in Texas have an intentionally much laxer licensing regime. Comparing the licensing documents to physical evidence onsite is simply not doable in the same way.
Indeed, we do occasionally see some culture warsing ire over pregnancy resource centers(which mostly exist to give free items to low income mothers), but the progressive position is that it's unconstitutional because they are Christian and opposed to abortion and the conservative position is that progressives being upset about it proves that they want to maximize abortion and not actually help women. Very little arguments over what group is being railroaded.

This expose sounds like it's risky and high effort for a traditional journalism outfit to carry out. That probably explains more than ideology does. In contrast youtuber citizen journalists with poor rigour are... well the people you'd expect to pull high-risk high-reward high-effort exposes. Especially twenty three year old males.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a real faction of the left which is actively opposed to competent center-left government on the basis that a reactionary backlash creates the necessary conditions for their own ideology to succeed? I'm not aware of this having ever worked out, but 'well grounded in history' is not a criticism that can be levied at anti-capitalists(which is well established among the activist portion of the labour party) anyways. It seems like 'intentionally leading to a far right government' is a thing which theory would expect lefty activists to occasionally do, and Keir probably doesn't have the party discipline to stop it.

Argentina is big and seemed to have an entrenched deep state. It's poor, sure, but that's not a structural difference.

The puritans did kill 21 people in Salem over witchcraft.

While I don't always agree with Yarvin's extremely pessimistic take on right wing politics, I have to admit that the app idea is incredible!
It already exists. Greg Abbott has one that's off the ground and the RNC has a beta-testing version. Presumably the DNC is trying to decolonize one.

In a preschool? No, preschoolers are not given independence to go about the halls.

I mean, you can just hire a nanny and have her take the kids to do stuff with the SAHM kids. Daycares prefer the government paying the bills to other non-nanny affording parents because the government always pays; there might be a few that don’t, but the government is the best client there ever was or will be.
It seems relevant to note that an American man who isn't top of the market, income height etc wise in the Philippines is, uh, probably not able to travel to the Philippines. I don't think 'mail order brides' tell us anything because the bargain is pretty simple- she gets a much higher standard of living with a husband who's less likely to be a violent drunk and her children live in a much wealthier society, he gets a wife. That's not a deal that the domestic dating market will likely have.
