Margaret Thatcher on 'the truth about socialism' leads RattlesnakeTV's run of clips
The short passed 120,000 views in thirteen hours, and its comment section keeps turning from the Iron Lady to the Britain of today.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 169,411 views a day, 12 times a normal first day on this channel (14,736).
Margaret Thatcher REVEALS The Truth About Socialism…
RattlesnakeTV mostly fills its days with American voices: Steven Crowder taking on a Harvard professor, Michael Knowles on the left, a Trump and Obama exchange. Its fastest new upload belongs to a British prime minister who left Downing Street in 1990.
"Margaret Thatcher REVEALS The Truth About Socialism…" is a short, and thirteen hours after it went up it had passed 120,000 views. A new short on this channel usually ends its whole first day under 15,000. The title does not say where or when Thatcher said what is in the clip. Opposing socialism was a constant through her career, from her years leading the Conservatives in opposition to her eleven years in office from 1979.
The comments arrived roughly seven times faster than on a usual first day for one of the channel's shorts, and much of the talk is less about the clip than about Britain now. Many viewers write about the current government and call her words more relevant than ever. Several use her old nickname, the Iron Lady. One viewer writes about growing up being told she was the villain and changing their mind later.
The channel's about page promises to take on controversial subjects with humor and research, from masculinity and culture to debating technique. Around the reposted clips sit its own segments, such as a "SN*ZZGATE!!" roundup of reactions and "Brian Shapiro vs Coach Greg." The whole channel had a slightly quieter day than usual, so the Thatcher short did its climbing mostly on its own.
