Jesus Christ what an insufferable prick. Then again, I like watching him try and debate because he often shoots himself in the foot by conceding the point early, but still keeps yammering on, or is just loving terrible at it and doesn't actually know what he's talking about beyond canned talking points you can pull off several right wing sites.

rkajdi posted:Beyond the other stuff mentioned, the idea that mental processes are somehow not physical things is more garbage dualistic thinking. Get rid of it, because these mental processes are nothing but some internal feeling from the physical processes of the brain occurring. You get them to stop by actually providing them with a hopeful future and investing in growing the prospects of your youth and workers. You just give the homeless homes and you work to eliminate the underlying causes for addiction and mental illnesses that come from a grinding lack of any sort of future or perceived future. Japan and it's "grass-fed males" have been undergoing austerity style politics and a future of soul-crushing dead-end labour for almost 3 decades. They literally have virtually nothing to look forward too in alot of cases. Such is as it is in parts of America, like the dead and dying towns in the rust-belt, where opioid addiction has skyrocketed, and in the United Kingdom as well. Why do you think Corbyn just turned out the youth vote as he did? It's because he provided them with a message that said "we understand your pain and will actually invest in you".

No, it's set up by establishment media and instigated by one of the Times rags. It coincides with YouTube's release of YouTube TV which basically puts a load of mainstream type stuff in the feed without demonitising any of it, despite alot having content that would get other channels demonitised, such as news and foreign affairs.

Falstaff posted:Wait, what? Africa has seen the most dramatic growth in the deployment of America’s elite troops of any region of the globe over the past decade, according to newly released numbers. Today, according to U.S. military documents obtained by VICE News, special operators are carrying out nearly 100 missions at any given time — in Africa alone. It’s the latest sign of the military’s quiet but ever-expanding presence on the continent, one that represents the most dramatic growth in the deployment of America’s elite troops to any region of the globe. And just to note, Somala is by its self was one of the list of neo-con targets that the US has never stopped entering, even all through the years of Democratic party rule. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8FhZnFZ6TY Kokoro Wish fucked around with this message at 04:18 on Jun 20, 2017 |

Best you go watch them for yourself. Personally I find the main TYT channel unbearably Liberal at times, plus they cover alot of frivolous poo poo and alot of the hosts are just terrible. On the other hand TYT Politics, which is their investigative reporting and analytics arm tends to do not bad work. In alot of cases they're some of the only people on the ground covering some important things.

NikkolasKing posted:He seems like a cool dude. I just started subscribing. In terms of "YouTube news" I follow him and Democracy Now. Note, that's not Sam Seder, that co-host Michael Brook, who by and large is better than Sam himself in alot of cases. I used to subscribe to them before the general and like alot of Liberal pundits, they lost their loving minds defending Clinton and bashing down any mention of leaks and potential primary biases (they did support Sanders during the primary, though). They pretty much revealed themselves to by a bit smug libby New York types. Given their offices overlook the Gowanas, that's not a surprise. They don't go into problems with the Democrats and their failings very often, if at all really, focussing instead on the usual Trump/Republican bashing and foreign affairs. Oh and being snippy at other YouTube people like Jimmy Dore and the like. The Dore one is particularly sad because while Dore lost the debate as a competitive exercise, time has basically proved the point they were contesting Brook did debate Sargon of Akkad though. I forget what on, but Sargon got shut down rater quickly, despite initially trying to big-dog Alpha bully his way through it. This later brought out accusations of Brook muting Sargon's mike at points, despite the fact you can hear Sargon sputtering away in the background.

Evidence, (such as 1000 lost seats and a lost general election to a sherbert horror) says that most people will not vote for either. It's staring right at you. Corbyn's election victories (yes even that general election loss was more or less a victory) says that if you give people something positive to vote for then they will.

Pembroke Fuse posted:You do understand that "good" and "bad" are relative, not absolute? The value judgement of each exists in the context of all the possible alternatives. The poo poo ones may be poo poo, but they're not that poo poo when compared to the others. Your vote has real consequences for the lives of thousands of people. If a Dem is lovely, but isn't actively gutting the social assistance system, they're infinitely preferable to a Rep who will actively work to destroy that system. Again, evidence suggests that in pitting a bad candidate against another bad candidate that most people will vote for neither of them. The lesser of two evil strategy is a colossal failure and the fact that the Democrats are going to try it again in the 2018 elections is loving mind-boggling. I just noticed this isn't even the Democrats are a Waste thread we're posting in. Should probably take all this type of discussion there.

Trump isn't even that big of a deal. It's the people around him who are creating and passing the policies. He's just the figurehead that they can hide behind because an incompetent opposition refused to tie Trump to the Republicans at large. Now it's not Republican legisation, it's Trump legislation, and that people who would oust Trump would rather have Mike loving Pence because he acts more refined, even though he's be passing all the same poo poo, is just loving insane.

This is the thing. People act like Trump is some kind of unilateral force of evil that can pass legislation at will. That's not how it works. He's supported by the party in power to do the things that get passed. Nothing that is happening now is happening without approval and support from the structure under him. All Trump does is sign the bills and say stupid poo poo from the bully pulpit. Whenever I talk to Dems about why Trumps is so bad, the first thing alot of people jump to is that he makes "us" look bad infront of everyone.

JVNO posted:Have you ever heard someone make the 'Jews/Muslims are not a race' argument where the implication wasn't 'so bigotry against them is OK'? Yes. Mostly because it's just straight up inaccurate use of language. The correct term to use against people spouting that kind of hatred would be "That's loving bigoted". Yes I am aware that most people against Muslims are infact against anyone Arabic looking.

Terrible Opinions posted:Except Jew is a race, because race is a social construct defined by racist people. So because Nazis defined Jew by ancestry, nose shape, hair type, etc. It is a race. It's more that the Jewish people themselves, at least in harder line populations consider themselves a race and not just a faith. I was talking to a friend recently that's grown up around alot of Jewish people, and one of the big concerns for more orthodox people at the moment is that the younger generation are ok with relationships outside of the people.

From what I've seen, he talks about how lovely the Democrats have been in general. Also he dropped the Seth Rich stuff months ago. If you want to see stuff like that now you have to go to H A Goodman or Nico House. He does occasionally get caught up on a theory like that, but drops them fast usually with a video if evidence comes out to the contrary. Like he says, he's not a smarty pants, just and average Joe. Thing is he's an average Joe with good communication skills and as such is really good about carrying the message of how the Democratic party aren't really your friends. I'll occasionally watch him because I'm not a big fan of his comedy really, but when he talks about the Democrats and their abandonment of the base, alot of his videos do ring true.

Both by the looks. They abandoned their base to chase after white collar tech sector workers and supposedly moderate Republicans, in a move that failed spectacularly. The base abandoned them because they sounded very, very out of touch with the pressures on the average American.

And the Democrats are still a thing. And they're still pushing centrist policy triangulaton policy, while only really trying to improve their messaging. I believe his last few videos about the Dems have been about that and Kamala Harris, in between stuff about Scaramucci and the failed repeal of the ACA.

When you look at who's in charge of the levers of power at the DNC, what do you see though? It's centrists all the way, and if you take a look at their Better Deal, you can already see it's all rhetoric and no real substance. Anyway, enough leaking The Democrats are a Waste thread into other discussions.

Don't mistake YouTube as leftist, by the way. The demonitization train has hit alot of independent leftist news, current affairs and political discussion channels pretty hard too. Want to discuss the war in Syria? Police shootings of black people? Socialist alternatives to the current state of affais? LGBT rights and activism? No money for you. Many such programs have turned to Patreon for survival. I think it's written somewhere in their appeals guidelines that all programming should now be suitable for viewing by children 5 years of age.
