This is why I like living in a rural area, and going to a college that is almost 50/50 on political stances. I get the best and worst of both worlds.

oh, my college is fine. I just work with musicians every day, and musicians are always broke and communist

(a bit of hyperbole, but still)

I love getting into debates with my left wing freinds, let's me see just how uninformed they really are.

that's dangerous, IMO, because some left wingers are VERY informed, they just have a different fundamental understanding of society than we do

we don't want to echo chamber ourselves

Oh I know, the only ones that actually are informed around me though are the professors. As long as they are not downright commie clowns. They give me the best debates and discussions.

My friends on the other hand are not informed for the most part, they see Vox and Buzzfeed article headlines and regurgitate the same points I hear all the time on Twitter.

I try to not live in an echo chamber, which is why I watch Tim haha.

Tim is as far left as I go.

Besides talking to random people on Discord.

So I can kind of say I'm not in a bubble.

I'm in a communist echo chamber of my own free will, but it's deafening to sit and listen to

Well, I am a Northern Republican AKA a Rockefeller Republican. So I do hold some values that could be considered left wing. But I am slowly slowly renouncing a lot of leftist values just because of how out of touch a lot of them are.

Lets brainstorm from TIms' newest video. How does the right fight back against all the attacks on funding from the Left wing lunatics that are the vocal semi-minority?

Making our own independent platforms.

Or will this escalate into something that is just inevitable?

enter into individual negotiations with possible sponsors and using the power of the individual to regain control of society

The answer is to use the same tactic as the left does

Force the companies to realize that their actions have negative consequences via pr mobs

How does the right enter into individual negotiations when most of the people who are becomming unsupportive of right wing values and ideas are corporations? Something us on the right want to protect?

The right uses purchase power rather than direct activism.

large corporations are anti-market and socialist anyway

Agreed, we can see that with the stocks of gaming companies who are bowing to leftist demands.

the invisible hand of the market may seem like a joke, but that's because we've let monopolies and oligopolies rise up, giving credence to the left's ideologies

the less competition, the less powerful "the hand of god"

The left hurts your image but the right hurts your pockets.

So then would government intervention into the markets be a good thing? Or would the right have to "rise up" to the level that would hurt these monopolies and oligopolies?

the left hurts those it claims to protect by patronizing and belittling them, the right doesn't care about anyone, so you can do what you want

On an individual level it would take immense pressure from a huge base in order to put a dent into these companies. All the while they will become more echo chambers of leftist ideologies. While government intervention would be faster, but in turn it is the government. So we know how that turns out.

I propose we 1. let government sponsored companies die and stop bailing them out, 2. federalize or locally legitimize utilities to be a basic right to humans rather than something passed around by large corporations under the pretense of competition, and 3. prevent unnecessary monopolization of goods

Depends on the kind of intervention. Breaking up monopolies and guaranteeing freedom of speech is good but besides that I don't like the government in businesses.

also, the government shouldn't be allowed to act like a business

So we need people in the government with these types of ideals. Are republicans the answer, or just part of the problem?

Will there be a rise of a third party or even a fourth party as long as both sides remain ignorant for the most part and continue to vote party based?

parties are the problem, we need to move to a runoff system of voting that will undermine the US 2 party system and give voice to ideas beyond the two parties that have become so centralized they barely have differences

Establishment republicans are part of the problem.

Basically we need more millenial republicans then?

I sound like a fucking commie but this is the good parts of their rhetoric

we need fewer "republicans" and fewer "democrats" and more "americans"

Well communists will say that but also ask for a single party system while you are advocating for more than just 2. So i wouldnt think too much about being a communist.
