The š» in LA
No script, no prep, one take
@Trez Silverwolf that is just cruel to the white students because they are targets in schools
I thought they want segregation
@Mustache Asian you know how it is they say one thing, folks comply and then they complain about the compliance
Vox couldn't find a less masculine little creature to do these damn videos
He reminds of a gecko
It's jarring that everything he says is intended to be unironic
I care less about his masculinity, it could be a women and still be a foolish argument heh.
It really irks me, his delivery is that of a teenage girl. It matters because it resonates with young impressionable people
Young people believe him because he sounds like them
@Agent Smith I haven't seen any of his videos but the one but its not Edgar, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbhBA1gEfOMekIU2vrNidLA.
@RoadtoDawn I don't think that's why young people would believe him. But i'm sure that can have an effect.
Swap him for an old white guy, no one would tune in
What happens is people that have a certain view will take a video like this, copy and paste the url, and use the url as a rebuttal to your argument
They don't know how to argue, or what the arguments are. They take an article or video that agrees with their views and send it your way
@RoadtoDawn I used to get those types a lot...
The most annoying was always some cuntwaffle who would paste links to Hitchens or Dawkins and then boom, end of argument because āthese people are expertsā
Yeah one time I saw someone do it to someone in the comments, so I jumped in and addressed the actual points the article said. The guy responded to me by posting the same exact article I just dismantled
He actually didn't know what the article said, because the level of detail I went into requires someone to know their way around the issue
_Wow_
I dunno what to call that even
Itās a level of smug I canāt even wrap my head around
Smug and disconnect
Wanting to argue without doing the research, putting the work in, I suppose
āIām so right I donāt even need to read the thing Iām pointing to which I think makes me rightā
Wanna know what issue it was? Abortion
it was an article about freakonomics
Freakonomics?
Also, thatās why I get so frustrated with the NYT and such
Burying the leads
at the time I was familiar with the methodology they used to make the points, and I was able to challenge them. Since he didn't know the study or the methodology or the subjects, he was compeltely absent minded
Because most people donāt read past the fucking headline
Yeah
You're wrong because this headline says I'm right! Because... yes!
āI canāt tell you why, but thatās why Iām right! Iām so right all my arguments are self-explanatory!ā
