This response to DeafChip’s vlog discusses the concept of the collective being better than the individual, and how independent thinking individuals can bring strength to the collective. There is commentary on assimilationist attitudes and how assimilationists attempt to pigeonhole a group of people who disagrees with the majority view as not being independent thinkers. The question is brought up as to who are truly independent thinkers… the assimilationists or those who refuse to accept the majority viewpoint.

This vlog discusses the rampant audism as well as homophobia, christianophobia, and racism at DVTV using an analogy of a diseased tree whose roots killed ALL the grass in my old neighbour’s backyard.
