Wasn't he in another really cringey debate I can't remember
"There's a wonderful invention. It's called Google. Use it" ~ Cenk
That was where he went wrong he started insulting the crowd
I was looking for a recast of the Uygar debate, and I ran across a video by a scrappy little youtuber that was entitled "Cenk said to Google it, so I did"
and....here I am
I was just browsing YouTube one day and I had checked out one of blonde's vids and then a thing from philly D and then matt popped up and now I'm a weekly viewer
HI
I was watching Matt during the tail end of the skagg3 days and only bothered with the discord after I caved and decided to be a patron. And then my Wednesdays became busy
I decided to start calling in because I can't talk to anyone but my younger brother about politics
I redpilled my sister
My whole family is Republican and I'm a through and through centrist so I can't talk to my dad about any thing because he goes from 0 to invade Mexico in a hurry
My sister started voting right side of the ticket when she started dating her current boyfriend, but she's far from redpilled
My sister clings to a few leftie policies but is overall done with leftist commies and tumblrites
And is now trying to slow convert her friends
Every so often I remind her of the unbearable commie she could have become
Gotta warn them away early
She was full on. Started a GSA at her school, had a tumblr account, supported Trudeau. Whole 9 yards
I consider redpill to be the ability to think independently of an authoritive state. In today's environment that almost requires you to be at least right leaning, but I can't see any universe where my sister came to it on her own decision
My sister votes Republican because her boyfriend tells her to
My sister is at that Sargon stage where she's not willing to admit the flaws of the welfare state and still is kinda iffy on guns
That one last desperate hand clutching just left of center
But comes to her own conclusions and is jaded about the legal system
As far as it goes man that's better than most of the chicks I meet especially at my little brothers school
That's better than most of the people I've met her age lol
You generally either get apolitical or left
That's true I got in trouble at work for calling out a customer on some BS about comey
Yeah you gotta learn to pick those battles lol
Like I explained the gun debate to my grandfather but didn't bother trying to correct my aunt
Yeah especially since I'm in a more left leaning part of arizona
Despite both of them using the same media-fed arguments
That's kinda tricky isn't it
Some people just ain't willing to hear it
And it's not like my grandfather flipped on it either, but at least he's making better arguments
I dont require agreement, just facts
One of my older brothers is that way with social programs
I think there's a basis for some of them, tbh, it's just a question of whether you figure people can come about creating them organically
Mental health and childcare being two major ones
And two that the government frequently fucks up as well
My biggest issue is Food Stamps
My biggest issue is government monopolies beyond the absolute necessities
