get me a PragerU debunk that is good

2018-10-11 15:57:43 UTC  

and isn't about religion

2018-10-11 15:57:52 UTC  

But of political ones it appears that they are right leaning. Now my supposition is that "right leaning" basically includes anyone not being gay based on social justice or whatever

2018-10-11 15:58:24 UTC  

Youtube creators are absolutely not right leaning.
The left only sees them as right leaning because anyone right of Stalin as being an Alt Right Extremist.

2018-10-11 15:58:30 UTC  

Or more simply put, not being insane

2018-10-11 15:58:54 UTC  

Based on Tim's "source" within YouTube

2018-10-11 15:59:00 UTC  

It's all I have to go on

2018-10-11 15:59:18 UTC  

I'd say the vast majority of youtubers are centerists, or even center left. But center left is now "basically hitler" according to the rightwing extremists that are the loudest.

2018-10-11 15:59:21 UTC  

Most of them are centrists that lean somewhat right. While we have Tim who's a "social liberal".

2018-10-11 15:59:22 UTC  

Sure

2018-10-11 15:59:37 UTC  

But again, a person from the platform of YouTube would be far left leaning no?

2018-10-11 15:59:58 UTC  

So from YouTube's perspective, most are right leaning. Which is pretty much exactly what I clarified later

2018-10-11 16:00:29 UTC  

not only that, right leaning people are more active on youtube

2018-10-11 16:00:42 UTC  

so it shows on the views/ratings/etc

2018-10-11 16:00:57 UTC  

the common lefty isn't politically active

2018-10-11 16:01:21 UTC  

they usually have nothing to say compared to the MSM

2018-10-11 16:02:00 UTC  

meanwhile the right is positioned as the underdog, against the mainstream, the media, and the public opinion (coz you can't be public about being right wing nowadays)

2018-10-11 16:03:23 UTC  

The realistic bell curve of political stances in modern society and across most platforms squarely puts the global average as slightly left leaning. The problem is, extreme lefties have gone so far that no one with a brain can support the left anymore.

2018-10-11 16:03:27 UTC  

there's also the component of censorship that is interesting. On twitter they censor everyone, on youtube they can only censor creators

2018-10-11 16:04:14 UTC  

so twitter becomes visibly lefty, while on youtube, when they censor creators, the viewers on the right start to consume more right wing content

2018-10-11 16:04:31 UTC  

Reasonably speaking, I'm center-left. But the left is so absurd that I find myself needing to rally around traditionally right-wing outlets because they're the only sane option left.

2018-10-11 16:05:07 UTC  

what I don't get is why lefties that are against the current left aren't more vocal about it

2018-10-11 16:05:37 UTC  

but anyway, the right is quite welcoming to them

2018-10-11 16:05:41 UTC  

if they want to change sides

2018-10-11 16:06:11 UTC  

Trump was a democrat all allong, after all

2018-10-11 16:06:22 UTC  

It's because it's not socially appropriate. If you are against the super-extreme politically correct "but not ALL Muslims are terrorists, therefore we must let ALL Muslims into our country, INCLUDING the terrorists, to prove we're not racist!"... then you're a racist.

2018-10-11 16:06:53 UTC  

then "be the racist"

2018-10-11 16:07:10 UTC  

im racist

2018-10-11 16:07:15 UTC  

and im ok with that

2018-10-11 16:07:19 UTC  

that gets you beat over the head by a bike lock by your antifa-loving leftie friends

2018-10-11 16:07:29 UTC  

I don't even think of "racism" as a problem tbh

2018-10-11 16:07:41 UTC  

the market auto-balances

2018-10-11 16:07:44 UTC  

in the way its described at this point? No its not

2018-10-11 16:08:01 UTC  

if it were 1930 I'd say "this is a problem"

2018-10-11 16:08:11 UTC  

yup

2018-10-11 16:08:12 UTC  

but at this point, its basically a non-issue at a population level

2018-10-11 16:08:40 UTC  

modern representation of what racism is: I'd be worried if you're not. Modern racism can be described as I did above.

2018-10-11 16:08:56 UTC  

as long as the laws are neutral, most examples of racism are just that, examples

2018-10-11 16:09:47 UTC  

ironically, the left is becoming more racist than any racism that existed before

2018-10-11 16:10:24 UTC  

"becoming"

2018-10-11 16:10:27 UTC  

they already were
