How many urbanites from anywhere in the world can answer that question?

2018-09-05 18:05:31 UTC  

Also, I have a question, Is it just me or does Tim's viewer base consist of a lot of conservatives? I was just wondering people's take on this, because since he himself is a social liberal I expected more centrists and centre leftists

2018-09-05 18:06:36 UTC  

NO, its sentient people with their own mind and thoughts. That doesn't translate to Conservative.

2018-09-05 18:06:48 UTC  

According to the Political Compasses I'm either a Lefty or Centrist for example.

2018-09-05 18:07:12 UTC  

They are just not the hard far left Communist type...

2018-09-05 18:07:21 UTC  

I don't mean that, I mean most of the people in his yt comment section seem to identify

2018-09-05 18:07:24 UTC  

but except for those, the Viewership is pretty diverse I'd say.

2018-09-05 18:07:28 UTC  

Conservative also doesn't always mean right wing even if that's what most people use it to mean.

2018-09-05 18:07:41 UTC  

as conservative

2018-09-05 18:07:56 UTC  

from what they say

2018-09-05 18:09:00 UTC  

Like I was pretty vocal about gay rights 10-15 years ago, and now that that's pretty well established I'd like to conserve that as it is.

2018-09-05 18:09:48 UTC  

But yeah I'd say he has a sizable conservative audience, but I think a lot of that is just that you don't hear from conservatives much in most parts of the internet

2018-09-05 18:10:52 UTC  

As for the people here the main commonality seems to be anti-authoritarianism but I'd say there's a fair amount of diversity aside from that

2018-09-05 18:13:32 UTC  

Well I am for sure a centrist

2018-09-05 18:13:37 UTC  

Got the political compass test to prove it

2018-09-05 18:14:02 UTC  

I myself am a rather acceptive social liberal, so I'm kind of pissed with the lack of objectivity and political diversity with the left nowadays. I'm just iritated with their lack of interesit in centrist and conservative opinions. I see few of them in centrist yt videos

2018-09-05 18:14:43 UTC  

I am an offensive moderate, I offend everyone

2018-09-05 18:15:02 UTC  

As a centrist i respect klan's ability to offend everyone

2018-09-05 18:15:06 UTC  

and I see more on the conservative side on centrist videos, which iritates me, the left is supposed tio be diverse

2018-09-05 18:15:37 UTC  

Today that commitment to diversity appears to be skin deep

2018-09-05 18:15:54 UTC

My propasal on how to stop "Gun Violence", Every student has to take a firearms safety class. DNC-OH NO YOU ARE TEACHING KIDS TO USE GUNS! GOP-OH NO, YOU ARE MANDATING EDUCATIONS! Libertarians- OH NO, MORE TAX PAYER FUNDED CRAP!

2018-09-05 18:17:33 UTC  

The problem stems from the fact that the left started assuming they had the moral high ground

2018-09-05 18:17:44 UTC  

this is because for a very long while they did have the moral high ground

2018-09-05 18:18:03 UTC  

Last big issue they made a push for was LGBT rights

2018-09-05 18:18:12 UTC  

so as a result they tried

2018-09-05 18:18:36 UTC  

the moral high ground? and ended up being shallow and actually authoritarian

2018-09-05 18:18:55 UTC  

Well they did get a large base from that

2018-09-05 18:19:29 UTC  

after all i dont think people here would argue that you should not be able to marry a legal adult of the same sex if they consent

2018-09-05 18:20:11 UTC  

Then intersectionality got introduced to them

2018-09-05 18:20:20 UTC  

tbh, as someone who's actually bent I don't care at all for gay marriage

2018-09-05 18:20:26 UTC  

Yeah, I think the closest thing to arguing that you'd see here is that some would say the government should have no place in marriages

2018-09-05 18:20:45 UTC  

I think marriage is just not really that important

2018-09-05 18:20:54 UTC  

When you say dont care you mean you're against it or you dont consider it an issue?

2018-09-05 18:21:06 UTC  

I mean I just dont consider

2018-09-05 18:21:12 UTC  

it an issue as much

2018-09-05 18:21:13 UTC  

ah, gotcha

2018-09-05 18:21:24 UTC  

as other lgbt things

2018-09-05 18:21:28 UTC  

```As for the people here the main commonality seems to be anti-authoritarianism```
Naa, I'm pretty authoritaon on one or two issues...

2018-09-05 18:21:51 UTC  

Considering in the US at least that marriage has monetary benefits associated I'd consider it a big deal that gay people should be able to marry the people they want

2018-09-05 18:21:54 UTC  

Intersectionality basically says that you should help people with their issues even if you dont know anything about them
