The difference is that b1rd considers racism to be a good thing so that's probably the point you disagree with him on
I don't really know just what his problem with that video is so I really can't say I disagree with him, can I? That sounds too much like I'd be jumping the gun.
I'm really not interested in watching a transvestite go on for 20+ minutes of intellectual masturbation in what amounts to "everyone I don't like are fascists"! I've heard that enough times before. Basically anyone who is an ethnic or cultural nationalist to any degree is a "fascists!", and if they deny they're a fascists, well "that's just what a fascists would say!". It's intentionally oversimplifying a complex political issues by lumping together anyone who holds those views with a label like "fascists" or "nazi", and precluding the idea that they might have any legitimate points, and implying that anyone with moderate beliefs is in fact an extremist who wants to murder black people. I'm an ethnic nationalist, but by no means am I a "fascists". In fact I'm the opposite, I'm a Libertarian. His videos might seem plausible and logical enough to validate some pseudo-intellectual's world view, but in reality they contain a lot of subtle fallacies that I could spend a lot of time debunking. But what is the point of that, really.Brisk Clarity wrote:

About Jordan Peterson, all his videos are good, and you can't watch one without watching them all. He has a profound intellect and he is great at breaking apart the foundations of people's faulty ideological constructions with insights in to psychology and philosophy.
Honestly, it's an excellent video that discusses modern pro-fascist and/or white nationalist recruitment tactics on social media etc. I wouldn't dismiss it like that.
Also, checking out Jordan Peterson, I've basically seen all of his talking points already. Props to him for condemning the Nazi rally though, I'm glad he didn't side with them under the guise of defending free speech.
But yeah, the video does a great job of breaking down pretty much every single tactic that's used to push centrists and conservatives towards extreme right-wing ideologies.

Wait, the video is not troll material? Please don't tell me it was actually done in all seriousness...
give it a watch fam
contra makes pretty good videos, they're generally a mix of politics and performance art

Yeah, I watched it, that's why I asked if it was ACTUALLY serious, because I took it as critique towards all the tumblr/internet political "experts".
If the person is actually serious about what they're saying, it makes them a sound representative of how you should NOT approach politics - namely spouting random nonsense that not only isn't backed up by any proper evidence, but is full of contradictions and flawed statements that only an abovementioned "expert" would blindly agree with.
I'm sad it turned out to be the latter.

I'm.. quite surprised to see such a strong disagreement from you. I'm quite familiar with alt-right rhetoric, and I feel like the video nails pretty much every method of persuasion they have in order to coerce people towards their ideology. The examples should be immediately recognisable to anyone who's seen alt-right propaganda or talking points; the way you dismiss them as lacking evidence is quite surprising, since the evidence should have been clearly visible already.
Could you describe the contradictions or flawed statements? If Contra's communicating their points badly, feedback would be pretty good there

And yes, it happens sometimes.
I both feel like responding and not. There's plenty of things I wanna write, but am fucking spent from pulling two all-nighters for my unis.

I've always thought that they only live in fresh water, caught on sea
saltwater crocs are a thing, they are the biggest crocodiles even, and can live in non-salt water areas too.
i believe though that they only live in oceania and the southasian isles.

Saltwater crocodiles are common but they usually live in brackish water. Swamps, estuaries, and the like. But damn, that's one large croc.
I really doubt that. He's not really someone you can "get the gist of" in a short amount of time. Watch this video.DaddyCoolVipper wrote:

Russia, I've heard of that place, it's the guys who hacked the election right?
I did have my own fair share of idiotic guesses, but at least nowhere NEAR that incident.

See if you can figure these out. Note they're more politically rather than geographically inclined.

Maybe you weren't intelligent enough to figure it out, but they're hints pointing towards specific countries, not random assertions.

Maybe you don't notice, but Railey has an obnoxious attitude towards me in general.
