I liked Superbunnyhop, especially his video about the entire Sonic franchise because I had literally never in my life understood the appeal of Sonic the hedgehog and enjoy hearing from people that do. I am an inclusive gamer like that

His mgs2 video is still my favorite. Also I'm glad to know Japanese people are mad about Konami too

So, I tried to watch some of the youtube debate videos and one thing i've noticed right away is that they do the voice channel thing of not shutting up to let someone else talk, especially guys like sargon. He approaches these debates looking to get some sick burns in so he can't wait his turn to speak but it just gets him muted because he won't shut up while the other person speaks. Honestly though, nothing changes- everyone comes off of these thinking they've won and there's no real exchange of ideas because the participants were on the same page. But then, debates have almost never really been about people engaging one another. Lincoln and Douglas was mostly Lincoln trying to get a chance to stump and Douglas trying to goad Lincoln into making statements that blacks and whites were equal because at the time that was an extremely unpopular opinion to have.

SSNeoman posted:the message of "I'm an academic and you're not so I don't have to listen to you  " works in the realm of academia, but falls short somewhat in the realm of public opinion/the shaping thereof, where the academics are pretty much always going to be outnumbered by the non-academicsso, if you can't boil down your fancy foolproof everythingworksout political philosophy to a form that the general public can understand and accept, the general public will turn away from you and listen to other people with simpler and more understandable (if incorrect) political philosophies, such as MAGA this does of course mean simplifying your political philosophy to the point that it must be tested against the political philosophy of MAGA, where the public might be watching to see which wins

There already exists a layman's refutation of carlgon's existence, he's a pedantic dweeb. His entire appeal is his pseudo-intellectualism, a lot of which hinges on a supposed sense of equal legitimacy between he and academia. The general public's understanding of MAGA is nothing close to anything sargon has ever done, because that isn't his audience either.

Nasal-voiced dweeb gives 12-minute tutorial on how to use twitter. Why do all these turds think that there's some huge, centralized antifa movement in the United States? It's barely a thing here, though I guess there have occasionally been anarchists who do black block poo poo. But what does some podcast (?) for regular anarchists have to do with punks getting arrested in New Jersey?

You don't know that! There are anarchists hiding everywhere! Waiting to pounce on unsuspecting fascists! Also I think if you punch fascists in the face on the news you are, de-facto, antifa.

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:Also, I'm not sure if it's this or if it's about someone sitting down to think about what kind of youtube channel they want to make, and instead of even thinking of carlgon, they decide they want their youtube channel to actually make the world a better place in some fashion, either by educating people or helping to create events for people to come together and accomplish things, and the thought never crosses their mind to just make videos yelling at dumb people, but Carlgon and the septic rationals all decided they needed to make videos screaming about how people are WRONG and that this was a good use of their time. Yeah, I also think another aspect is that people on the left tend to focus more on ways they want to improve the world, while the alt-right is almost entirely defined by its opposition to "SJWs" and feminists and what have you. Liberals (as opposed to leftists) are also often defined primarily along their opposition to Trump and Republicans, but there already exist other avenues to consume that sort of content (both through mainstream liberal media like MSNBC/the major newspapers and websites like DailyKos or whatever).
