Veritasium is very political?

Can you link a video where politics comes in at all, let alone something that's very political? https://www.youtube.com/c/veritasium/videos

Maybe the driverless car one can be seen as somewhat political (by advocating for use of self-driving cars), but it's not necessarily a polarizing issue split along US political party lines, at the moment.

Or do you mean the host of the channel is very political, whether or not any of that is indicated in any of the videos?

I found only this video to be slightly political:

Is Success Luck or Hard Work? (https://youtu.be/3LopI4YeC4I)

I don't know about any other video that has any politics in them.

Maybe, inasmuch as it's espousing an idea that is generally more associated with one party than the other, but the focus is really that idea, and it's supporting evidence, not how it related to politics or the parties and how they view it.

I would hope people try to asses it on the merits of the arguments and examples, and not how they perceive it related to a specific political agenda they are for or against.

Absolutely agree.

But this is political in current situation, which I don't like.
