Arg's detecting the pied piper.
He can be entertaining and interesting but not to be invested in. Kind of like Alex Jones. He's going to get the low IQs in trouble.
His push for basing a rhetorical argument around "Reciprocation" is the best thing I've seen him do. It passes the Pathos, Logos, Ethos check. It's true and recognizable from everybody and it's a tactful enough argument for almost and setting. Acknowledging generosity while questioning a equitable relational exchange is not bad optics. @Skellington is into studying rhetoric, I wonder if he's had any time to consider 'Reciprocity'?
No. and I don't really study rhetoric. It's just what I've learned from self reflecting on how I respond to arguments
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3GxwUR5tGQ @Argent7771 your most recent video reminds me of this
Im really not fond of Vox Day but some of the points he makes seem solid
I used to watch him quite often but he does seem really arrogant at times
yeah he does
He literally brags all the time about how smart he is and how high his iq is and stuff like that
And he’ll just back it up with “well that’s a true statement coming from me” or something like that to dunk on any other intellectual he’s reviewing
I don’t even know what his political leaning is
He seems fairly far right, but doesn’t seem to be that interested in ethnic nationalism
he is an ethnic nationalist, though he only calls it nationalism because he deems ethnic nationalism a tautology
Yeah
which i consider "muh definition" autism
His writings seem to be okay though
And whoever he gets to narrate them is pretty good
i just listened to his jordanetics audiobook, dont care to read his stuff or give him money in any way
I’ve only listened to the preview of his Irrational Atheist novel
Definition autism is important
eh
the meaning of nationalism has changed over time, now it mostly means civnat
if you hang onto the old meaning you create unnecessary language barriers and misunderstandings
words have no inherent meaning
UNIPARTY!
public works bad
He hasn't really argued the bridge being a bad investment but condemns public works in general which is a pretty retarded position to take
There's obviously infrastructure projects that are net positives
And I'm not even defending this bridge or BoJo for that matter, but the objection is weak
RT Deutsch is russia today (german)
russian state tv
the host vaguely argues in favor of authoritarianism and collectivism, but withholds most of his values
im not against it, i know german tv is state controlled too but i just discovered this host so cant judge him well yet
