Youtube Ranters turn the world into relative TV

Annoying right and left-wing pundits with hilariously stupid agendas are almost certainly triggering youtube fans who post their videos. Rather than actually provide real discourse they rant and throw a few figures in which they then skew to the narrative to fit what they want. but the kids lap it up, they have disagreements with each other but rarely actually debate with each other for fear of losing face. And the kids lap it up, funny stuff! Thoughts?

Just move this to the triggered thread.

Using KMC as a micro-example, you’ll see just how many of these kiddos rely on having a YouTube ranter (usually a white male w/ edge) tell them what they should think on any given subject.

The thought of reading the subject matter themselves without biased commentary being pissed into their ears seems anathema to them.

These facts will not sit well.

^Still butthurt Steven Crowder knows more about guns than him. Hilarious.

Independent thought is going extinct yeah. See above. 🙁

I love how Surtur goes on to prove my point nigh immediately after I made it. Thanks?

Lol swing and a miss.

Sounds like you may enjoy the Intellectual Dark Web.

YouTube video

This one with Sam Harris and Ben Shapiro is a good intro.

It's interesting that the progressives are trying so hard to vilify them, because I hear little to be offended by. Disagree with, sure, but try and censure or marginalized?

Fox News, they are not.

And, the right hates them, too.

If you've pissed off the right and the left by simply making off party arguments, you must be doing something right.

Prime Examples.

No you don't understand, Shapiro is one of these youtube ranters in their view.

Harris, too?

Ben's funny in this one: "I need bodyguards at lectures now. From the right. I don't understand the rights problem with me. I'm basically a straight conservative!"

Funny thing is people like Ben and Steven Crowder aren't just youtube ranters. Hell youtube is becoming less and less able to be counted on by people like them for a steady income. Ben has a show that he uploads to youtube. You can get his show at a lot of places. Steven Crowder does the same thing. Both have other sources of income besides youtube.

They mainly use youtube to build a fanbase and make any money they can off videos that don't get demonetized.

The problem is, we have 1000 left-wing people with very large and influential soap-boxes but hardly any right-wing people with those same soapboxes. So they take to YouTube and get marginal voices. It's not a 50-50 split. The left has far too much of a voice in the US.

As time goes on, much more honest and balanced information will be put out there. People will pay less and less attention to the horribly biased MSM sources and seek out information from places like YouTube.

Thankfully, the research that says people will seek out media that confirms their biases is not all or nothing. Meaning, there will still be quite a large number of people with an opposing view that will consume something from a place like YouTube, see the other side, and see the error of their thinking. This is great and wonderful. This is what we want. If your only sources are always the biased MSM, you won't get a true "opposing" view that hasn't be curated in a specific way to make you believe this or that.

I hope I make sense. I hope MSM dies out in the next 20 years.

I'd posit that it's becoming more and more common, actually. As actual knowledge and truth is becoming more and more accessible and less and less lies and propaganda are able to be gotten away with, independent thought is becoming more and more common.

This is a good thing. Hooray for the Information Age: it's quite sexy.

To Bad that Corporations like Youtube are doing everything they can to Stomp Out said Independent Thought...

I disagree with some of his positions and I would actually like to debate him in a public forum on some of the things I disagree with.

However, an extreme "right-winger" he is not. I find his presentation of the arguments to be rather factual and honest. Which is why there's not much room for debate on many of his points.

Yeah honestly this topic comes more across as "let's attack the credibility of the people we disagree with instead of arguing against their points of principle!"
