Pros: thinning the ranks may weed out the shittier YouTube intellectuals.

Cons: making it potentially more difficult to discredit because their message is more coherent and the messenger less terrible.

When you believe that you cannot help but see detestable injustice being actively perpetrated against every human being you meet every moment of their lives. It is automatically radicalizing. Which is why I don't trust people who identify as leftist but lack that conviction. Something doesn't add up. All strands of the economic left I know of, recognize that fundamental truth, that the status quo is not just passively suboptimal, it is actively taking from people. It is not a thing to be improved when convenient, it is a crime to be stopped.

This is a really good way to put it. Like, regardless of the specific things they say, the specific nature of their reaction betrays how they really feel. It's not that liberals* can't understand real injustice - as I mentioned before, many react with appropriate urgency towards things like bigotry (though this is usually limited to younger liberals; older ones are also kind of poo poo on social issues) - but that they just obviously don't think issues of material inequality are as serious or important.

*One thing I should mention is that when I say "liberals" here I'm specifically referring to people aware of the whole leftist/liberal debate who choose to not identify as leftist. Many, and probably a majority of, liberals are just choosing what is obviously the better of the two most prominent and visible ideologies in the US. I can't really fault these people, because they generally don't know much about the left and aren't really making a conscious choice to reject it. They just see how bad Republicans are and make the reasonable choice to oppose them. Even if they do know about the radical left, it's usually a skewed and biased image, particularly among older generations. But on the SA forums, and D&D in particular, most liberals probably have enough familiarity with leftists/the radical left that rejecting it is an actual choice on their part.

Oh my god it took me this long to realise Dappterton is mean to be an anarcho-capitalist symbol as a mask

Like, as a design element, if it were just that, it'd be pretty okay, but then there's the random little red lines, and the blue suit, and the monocle and cane and gloves and hat (all worn while indoors, natch), and it's just so painfully someone's high school notebook doodle that I can't even begin to take him seriously

If I were in a discussion with him I'd just go full ad hominem and question every pathetically faux-masculine character design decision, I wouldn't be able to stop myself

Ancaps, at best, think that capitalism has reached enough forward momentum that they can rip the wheels, brakes, power steering, and unibody of the car they're riding in and just lash themselves to the now hurtling engine block and be just fine.

However, they fail to account for the fact that the car was speeding towards a cliff.

Battening made a video about how No Bullshit said some problematic/antisemitic stuff, then someone else made a video defending No Bullshit, so Battening made a video to defend his initial video.

The stuff No Bullshit said that people are defending: "Hitler did nothing wrong", getting into a weird twitter slapfight with someone who lost family in the Holocaust, complaining about multiculturalism in movies. People are defending this by saying No Bullshit is a parody conservative account, or that he was just joking.

Also Battening takes the cake for the worst intro of any of these YouTube bloggers

Brilliant.

Also apparently Destiny debated No Bullshit not too long ago, and recently put out this much shorter highlight video. It's amazing.

Here's the full video. It's a massacre. Destiny is defending the stance that incest is morally neutral, and No Bullshit is arguing that incest is wrong.

I think this is the point No Bullshit is trying to arrive at. Destiny holds the stance that incest is ultimately bad, and he's defending the stance that "incest is morally neutral" for the sake of the debate.

The way I heard it Destiny was saying that incest is morally neutral but that its the imbalance in power that often accompanies these relationships (parent and child for example) that is problematic. NBS's arguments were along the lines of "it's wrong because it wrong", its icky, and they will have freakish babies.

That's pretty much the best reading you can get of it really, it's the authority and age gaps that can be present in the relationships that make it a problem, not some "Ewww" factor. If two consenting adults who are related want to get together, sure it's odd but who cares, it's not hurting anyone and not really anyone else's business, even the "But the hypothetical children!" thing has shown to be a poor argument the more we've learned, because even if they did, it takes more than one instance of relatives screwing to give you Charles II.

Back when I believed morals and ethics were natural things that could be derived and discovered with almighty science, I used to be against incest on the basis of genetic defects... Until I learned the increased risk in cases other than parent/child inbreeding is comparable to a 35-40-year-old woman conceiving. Given I could never suggest a 35-40 year old women should be banned from conceiving, I couldn't justify banning incest even with my braindead objectivist epistemology.

Nowadays I just don't have a problem with any non-exploitative incestuous relationships because, well... Live and let live I guess?
