TheLaxLex Right? So now whenever he says anything just say “Ah, that guy has no political significance! He’s just an attention-seeking leech who whines about nothing at all!”
There is a man who drank in my pub before lockdown and he used to talk absolute shite and say "I blew his/her mind" and "I got them", cockily when people sighed or laughed at him and walked off without arguing. People like TLDR know these idiots exist, can be manipulated easily and massage their ego's for donations.
Holy shit, that's the kind of lie that should get him brought up on fraud charges. An un-anesthetized root canal is more entertaining than listening to that creep.
I'm German and it's so annoying seeing all those Americans claiming to know anything about the current situation in Germany even though they don't live here
As an American I agree with you. People who talk about the "migrant crisis" in Germany/Europe are almost always just looking for an excuse to perpetuate their negative stereotypes of brown people.
ich123binsimmernoch most of my fellow countrymen operate from such a sense of cultivated ignorance it’s surprising they know their left from their right while looking in the mirror
Shaun... dude, you saved me from the alt-right. I fell down their rabbit hole and now I’m starting to realize how dumb I was. Thanks for making these videos, you’re really helping us out.
Yo man, it says this comment is a year old. How ya feeling bud? You still out of the dark side? Care to comment on what rabbit hole you fell into, and what specifically brought you back around?
Youre not dumb, the alt right guys paint a convincing argument if you trust them. They're nasty bastards who will lie and deceive to convince people of their ideology. Unless you find someone who can tell you that they're doing that, I don't blame you for not noticing it.
@@ke_ag I know I am not the OP. But for me it started, when I was deep in my depression. I randomly encountered a UA-cam channel, that was hating on feminists, which were far left. I also got onto some channels hating on trans people. At the beginning it seemed pretty weird to me and I was sceptical at the start, but the more often I heard it I sooner or later started to be believe it. I started believing transpeople had a disorder, I bought into the propaganda of people, who hate on black and moslems. The thing that got me out of it, was one of my best friends coming out as trans, me having been an atheist since I was 6 or 7, which helped me see some points that seemed irrational, asking my self, if there is other stuff, that isn’t totally logical. Another huge factor was my ex breaking up with me, which made me wanna exercise and working on my nutrition. After looking better I actually started dating a feminist, which didn’t go well, because I still had the emotional part in the way ingrained from all the years. Even though I knew it was wrong to hate on transpeople, it was something I needed to get emotionally over as well. My discord nowadays, is interestingly enough filled with many people, who around me came out as gay. It still took me like almost another year to really get under people again, but here I am 1 month after that year and I am pretty happy feeling. I am not hating people for no reason except the one that the bubble I was in said they were bad anymore. Only thing lately keeping me down is me having corona symptoms, even the test says negative.
@@tomwanders6022 wish all your discord friends a happy pride month. It can be difficult to have your viewpoints challenged, glad you took the time to think about it.
I still don’t like SJWs, but now I’m much more aware of right-wing SJWs and outrage merchants. Overall I’m center-left, because I still disagree with the left on a decent chunk of issues. But yeah, I’m glad my super edgy right-wing phase is over.
Anyone with undergraduate understanding of media or sociology would know that prageru and breitbart are full of shit, the root cause of the spread of fake news is sadly a lack of education, a lot of right wing talking points can be debunked by high school understanding of history and philosophy/critical thinking, these should be mandatory in high school IMO, at the very least so people can critically engage with sources. I would hope any intelligent right leaning person would agree it is important for people to be able to question the motives and narratives of media sources, nobody with integrity should want their side's arguments to be built off falsehoods
He's the one that saddens me the most. He used to put a lot of effort into his videos and genuinely cared that what he was saying was accurate. He'd point out the issues with things like Sweden's rape statistics and he'd close out his videos with the line "Don't forget to subscribe to my Patreon" to mock those who provided Patreon-funded echo chambers. Then set up his own Patreon, and became an echo chamber. Nothing was researched, just shitty recycled lies to get people to throw money at him.
Weird how suddenly everyone steps in for assaulted women as soon as migrants are mentioned in the same sentence. This instrumentalization of victims is disgusting.
@@Jekyllstein_Gray which interests me in the question: Would these same people (most of whom are pro life) still be pro life if a mixed fetus was going to be born to a white lady ? Would they care about white purity more or their pro life stance?
As one who actually live in Sweden, in Malmö on top of this which is supposed to be one of the worst places I can say with confidence that quite opposite to what right wingers want to make Sweden out to be we are a prime example of how a western nation can accept massively more immigrants than most do without anything catastrophic happening. The reason Sweden had to put a limit on intake in 2016 was because we can't build the infrastructure quickly enough to keep up; Sweden is a sparsely populated country with cold winters meaning there's a need for effective public transportation and well made housing for everyone, and such things take time to build. As you point out, the "Rape Epidemic" just isn't there, nor is any "skyrocketing" of crime. Looking at the ultimate crime, murder we notice something interesting. I live in Malmö as stated. This, the most crime ridden city of Sweden there is about 2 murders for 100,000 residents yearly. This is lower than the 5 per 100k the US have _nationwide_ including places like Alaska or rural Wisconsin. Looking at bad places in the US, counterparts to Malmö such as Detroit there are murder rates of 30-60 per 100k, that is 15-30 time worse. Reality is, Sweden have lately, and historically accepted very large numbers of refugees in regards to the relatively small population. When I was young and spent my time in more physical confrontations with Nazis back in the early ninties it was the same thing, massive amounts of refugees coming here from former Yugoslavia which would absolutely destroy Sweden - today the toddlers who came here back then or kids of young parents who fled here is part of the crowd being outraged about all the Syrians, rehashing all the same arguments which were made about their people back then. It's been people from Iraq during the Iraq conflicts, it's been people from Iran. Back in the 60:ies and 70:ies we were less concerned with color, back then it was mostly the Finns coming here from poor conditions in Finland which were a huge problem; but also people from parts of Europe which were much worse off back then - Italy, Franco's Spain and Greece for example evident by the plethora of racist jokes about Greeks, Italians and Spaniards in existence. Still, throughout all of this, Sweden still is an extremely safe place to be in and the living conditions are as most people know, among the absolute top of the world, and thinking of it it's really not that strange since we've never had any problems with negative population distributions (fewer and fewer young people to provide for more old ones, such as many other European nations have), an influx of well educated people in prime working age and, to be a bit cynical, readily available workers for all the jobs most native swedes are unwilling to perform. Sorry for the text wall, and cheers for the great video!
My grandfather was a "war child" sent to Sweden. "During World War II some 70,000 Finnish children (Finnish: sotalapset, the 'war children' Swedish: krigsbarn) were evacuated from Finland, chiefly to Sweden, but also to Norway and Denmark. Most were evacuated during the Continuation War (1941-1944) to ease the situation for their parents who set out to rebuild their homes in the re-conquered Karelia returning from the 1940 evacuation of Finnish Karelia. The first surge of evacuees arrived, however, during the Winter War when the Finns had reasons to fear a humanitarian catastrophe following the expected Soviet occupation." (Wikipedia) While he was there, my grandmother was living in the town I grew up in, in Southern Finland, and she and her sister had to run and hide in bomb shelters when the Soviets came. This movie is about that time, I highly recommend if someone wants to see a different perspective on war: "Mother of Mine (Finnish: Äideistä parhain, Swedish: Den bästa av mödrar) is a 2005 Finnish-Swedish film directed by Klaus Härö about a Finnish war child who is sent by his mother to live in Sweden during World War II." I think that having this in our not-so-distant history makes us look at war and immigration differently. Americans often think they have it all figured out but sometimes it feels like they forget to be thankful for not having war on their ground, in their homes. And when they forget to be thankful, they forget to really understand, to understand the individual and often completely unfair suffering, the desperation and fear and how everything just completely sucks in general. When I was around 12 years old we had to interview someone who experienced the war, I think it was a valuable lesson for everyone. Soon none of those people will be left here, and we are left to see if we need to refresh our memory by action, or by just remembering not to forget.
We have a joke about unreliable journalism here in East Europe, I'll do my best to translate it. Our listeners have been asking: Is it true that cars are being handed out at the Red Square? Erewań Radio answers: Yes, that's true, but it's not cars, it's bikes, and not at the Red Square but near the train station, and also they're not being handed out, they're being stolen.
@@BigMacsm245 Actually those Radio Eriwan jokes (as they are called in germany) are one of the few cultural things that the whole soviet block shared. If I recall correctly they started with the soviet "Sputnik" magazine, that was published in all the important east european languages and even in the "imperialistic west". The jokes were intended to garner more interest from soviet citizens and sympathies from the west by showing that the socialist countries could joke about themselves. This way the jokes even made it to west germany (and other places, I'm sure.). Radio Eriwan is meant to be the radio of the armenian soviet capital Yerevan, btw. My favorite ones are: Question to Radio Eriwan: Is it possible to be a good communist and a good christian at the same time? In principle yes, but why would one want to make his live twice as hard? Question to Radio Eriwan: Is it possible to introduce communism into a highly industrialized society/switzerland? In principle yes, but it would be a pity about the industry/switzerland. Question to Radio Eriwan: Can you drive 120 k/mh with a russian car on russian roads? In principle yes, but only once. Question to Radio Eriwan: Why did they establish a Ministry of Navy in landlocked Armenia. Do you have a sea? To spite Azerbaijan. They established a Ministry of Culture. Question to Radio Eriwan: Is it true that the USA will turn communist? In principle yes, but I'm not sure if the GDR can feed two super powers. Question to Radio Eriwan: Could the dear lord become a party member? In principle yes, but first he would have to rescind his church membership. Question to Radio Eriwan: Can one introduce "socialism in one country" effectively? In principle yes, but one should reside in a different country. Question to Radio Eriwan: Is it true that lice could start a revolution too? In principle yes, for in them flows the blood of the proletariat. Question to Radio Eriwan: Is it true that the soviet intervention in prague was following a call for help from the czecheslovakian government? In principle yes, the call for help from 1938 could be sucessfully answered in 1968. Question to Radio Eriwan: Is it true that capitalism is standing on the edge of the abyss? In principle yes, but we are a step ahead. Question to Radio Eriwan: Is it true that every american has a car? In principle yes, but each of us has a parking space. Question to Radio Eriwan: Is it true that a stereo radio is superfluous in the soviet union? In principle yes, you're hearing the same stuff from every side anyways. Question to Radio Eriwan: Is it true that comrade Stalin collects jokes about him? In principle yes, but first he collects the people telling them. Question to Radio Eriwan: What is chaos? Questions about the agriculture will not be answered. Question to Radio Eriwan: Can men bear children? In principle no, but ask the GDR, they'd to anything for foreign currencies. Question to Radio Eriwan: Can a trabant (the german socialist car of questionable quality) reach 200 k/mh? In principle yes, it depends on the height from which it is falling. I... might have overdone it with the jokes. Well now they are here.
Sargon recently said and I quote: "worst case scenario for the alt-right’s success in this endeavor, is less intolerable to me and my family than the SJW success. So from a tactical evaluation, I have to choose this angle. I have to try and explain to the alt-right that they can get what they want and they should take this gambit, even if it means the end of liberal democracy." He later backpedaled a bit later. I just wanna point out that you don't have to constantly take things back for sounding kinda fascist, if you don't constantly say kinda fascist shit.
Tbh, I think once anyone starts citing Breitbart, that person has a duty to research the story at a deeper level. Once it becomes your primary news source, I think it's too late for them. Same goes for a lot of media in general. It's the core issue. These people still trust the media too much. They read a story, (posted on multiple sites), and report on it. Now, this wouldn't usually be a problem if the standard of journalism hasn't nose dived in the last 10 years. I mean, it's a pretty sad that a story posted on various credible newspapers is incorrect. People who are so against mainstream journalism shouldn't trust them so much :p
TheLonelyGoomba I would argue that mainstream media hasn’t actually gone down in quality. Sure they have some scummy tactics but those have always been there. The myth that all media is unreliable is just rightwing propaganda to push everyone to their “alternative media” like InfoWars.
TheLonelyGoomba If anyone starts citing Breitbart, without checking a wide range of actual news sources, should have a duty to go and get their head examined....
I feel sorry for that Syrian resistance fighter. He risked his life for years fighting against ISIS, earning his passage to a safe place for helping western nations fight terrorism, only to be labelled as a member of the exact organisation he laid his life on the line to stop! Being a racist piece of shit is one thing, but what people on Facebook and UA-cam did to this man is next level shitty. I really hope he’s doing okay
Reminds me of these french anarchists who went to fight isis in rojava, and were arrested at their return in france on behalf of "planned terrorist attacks" because they were gathering some weapons and had made jokes about beating up cops while drunk
And there is BPS, sitting comfortably in his room, living his comfortable life, talking about this stuff, wishing he could ever do anything as remotely close to badass as this man did. Or just be anything more than a person who makes a 'living' criticising the things other people contribute to society. It's some next level arrogance.
They're not addicted to outrage. It's so much more core than that. They're addicted to seeing themselves as purely logical and intelligent, and therefore believing their own justifications for how they feel. They've labeled emotions as feminine, feminine as weak and evil, and therefore recognizing their own emotional reactions would mean admitting that they're weak and evil. So they position their emotional reactions as supremely logical and intelligent (in other words, masculine and good). In no scenario can they ever admit that they have a strong emotion that guides their actions and views. The stronger their emotion, the more they need to justify it as logical. Their fear of the other is as strong and as constant as the flow of a river. Notice how they talk about "rape apologists" when talking about sexual assault involving non-Europeans (note that they do not look at "immigrant" rape involving European immigration), but then talk about how murdering "incels" are "driven" to murdering women by feminists? That the only phrase only one of them even bothers to differentiate the acts with is "gang rape?" Because they're speaking to each other, and they understand implicitly that they have a right to "their" women's bodies, but outsider men have no rights at all. The whole of their rhetoric has one aim: to exalt their community's domination of and cruelty to others as at least justifiable and at most (and more often) beneficial, and denigrate any policy or idea that empowers their victims, who is everyone they see as "other." Difference scares them, because they need to use their emotions and empathy to interact with people different than themselves and they suck at that. Women, with our culture of incorporating emotional and qualitative information into logical decisions, something they cannot do, scare them. They're scared of the fact that they're scared, and can't bear to see anyone else handle their feelings more capably. They're frightened little boys who have made a culture where the boy who beats everyone else down wins, terrified that one day the "others" they've persecuted will gain power and return the favor. Or worse, that those people will gain power and treat them _better_ than they've treated everyone else, and make them and their entire culture look evil. Since they can't handle emotion, they absolutely can't handle guilt or shame. They certainly can't face the fact that their position of being able to bully others- which they see as superiority- means that outsiders _have_ to be tougher than they are just to survive, that they are in fact weaker in all the ways that they care about (physical and emotional endurance, intelligence to think their way out of difficult situations, ability to survive harsh conditions, etc.). So they externalize their fear, guilt, shame, and insecurity in the form of rage. A process that gets blocked whenever facts show their rage to be illogical or unnecessary. They can't handle the truth, which is that the privilege they were born to, that they love so much, comes with moral and ethical inferiority, as well as a life of so much more ease that it means outsiders are tougher in all the ways that count to them. Mind, I say this as an American, so I count myself as someone in a privileged, morally inferior position who wouldn't survive one day in Aleppo. I'm not saying that the position makes someone a bad person. I'm not even saying people are obligated to do anything personally about their privilege. We all do what we can handle, which for most of us is looking after our friends and family. But trying to pretend that being so weak that you _need_ to let small children face death in myriad forms (from poison gas and bombs to drowning and starving) rather than tolerate your fear of them is actually strength, well, that's the kind of self-delusion that leads to tragedy.
This is a 2 year old comment, but just wanted to say I appreciate you pointing out how they view emotions/feelings as "feminine" and viewing anything feminine as "weak". Views like these run deep and are at the roots of a LOT of toxic and harmful behavior, and not enough people really bring that fact to light.
Yep. They’re appropriating and bastardizing a completely neutral thing. As a philosophy major, I know there’s definitely some clean up that needs to be happening in formal academia with regard to philosophy, but to see these fucking morons try to claim they have some kind of monopoly over it? Watching their conversations and arguments, it’s like watching a 9 year olds idea of what any of what they’re attempting to talk about is. The most offensive part is not only how completely and utterly wrong all of them are, but it’s how they try to morph it into a weapon to hit other people with. They don’t own the discipline of philosophy or formal logic. And they certainly have zero respect for it.
@Jason Hurk I think you took my comment more seriously than it was intended. Did you watch this video? It's been a long time since I did, I had to check the beginning to remind myself. You could try watching it then you might understand the context in which these comments were made. If you had a good look at my channel you would see that I very much do care what happens.
@Jason Hurk I don't know, I can't be bothered to watch the video again to remind myself of exactly what I was talking about so I can deal with whatever is going in in you head about what I said, and to be clear, I don't actually know what you are arguing with me about.
@Jason Hurk OK, Trump is negatively portrayed in the media because he is a full on man baby who has been wreaking havoc on the USA throughout his presidency and is so self obsessed he thinks that Coronavirus is just an attempt to stop him getting re elected as president. However, his fanbase tend to believe that simply reporting facts about him is outrageously negative and biased reporting, and it is therefore pointless to read any news about him, it is all, to them, fake news. My little contribution to the comments that seems to have got you so worked up was me poking fun at them.
I'm on a discussion board, one day the adminstrator decided to ban "Shock news" and the posting of any news article without commment. It probably one of the greatest descision the admin took it cleaned up the discource a lot
Anyone find it funny that sargon gets mad about Sweden's rape statistics but not the outdated Ohio laws that make it okay to orally penetrate someone while they're asleep? He literally laughed about it while debating that one feminist.
If 5 minutes is is a Sargon, can we call reading two sentences an Akkad, because if he doesn't agree with it then that seems to be all he can read at a time. Please make this a thing, I want to contribute. So: 5 minutes of a video = 1 Sargon 2 sentences of a source= 1 Akkad
To give a non-political example of "outrage addiction," it reminds me of an observation my brother made about working in customer service. He said people sometimes come up to him with complaints and seem to get more upset when he immediately does everything in his power to make it right instead of giving them a chance to go ballistic like they had planned on.
I know this is an old post but I figured I would throw my experience out there having worked retail myself.... To be honest, some people are just downright unpleasant to be around and (usually due to a lack of control in their own life), they will take any chance they can get to drag down the mood of everyone around them.... This habit tends to go into overdrive when they are dealing with service/hospitality workers, if only so they can feel control over something for a moment
The atheist-right and conservative talk radio have so much in common, including pulling the "entertainment" card when called out for spreading bullshit. They are all clueless too.
The irony is many folks on the atheist right used to mock conservative talk radio hosts. Speaking as an atheist they make me slap my forehead and wonder what happened to the skeptic community I used to know?
TheAngryHolmesian it became popular to be “skeptical” of anything which is considered taboo to criticize, so naturally it progresses from valid criticism of religion to criticism of concepts like racial and gender equality. Thankfully we still have creators like Jimmy Snow and Genetically Modified Skeptic who are honest and supportive of progressive movements
You know the best part about that last story with the neo nazis occupying the church? The resident nun, or whatever she is called, turned on the bells so the extremists slogans could not be heard down in the street and one of them actually tried sueing the nun for damages due to that. Fucking gold
You wanna know what the best part about the nazis on the church was though? They forgot that churches, being churches, have bells in them and that they will be louder than you can shout. So the priest just went ahead and turned on the bells, such that they weren't able to shout their insults.
Skallagrim once misreported a crime story that outraged him. He later realized he was misinterpreting events based on improper research, so he made a video apologizing and explained what actually happened in full. This is what a UA-camr - especially one with a sizeable audience - really needs to do when they make videos meant to educate a populace on a subject.
Morgan Jones the difference with Skallagrim is that he has a basic shred of integrity and isn't running a channel to spew reactionary propaganda. Oops, I mean he's not running a "skeptic channel".
Too bad MatPat has never made a video apologizing for the GameTheory video concerning For Honor. He was HANDILY debunked at least three separate times by Skallagrim, Shadiversity and Metatron. All of whom personally and respectfully aimed their videos directly at his wildly egregious claims about vikings, samurai and knights. #STILLWAITINGMATPAT
Shaun, you're doing tremendous work here. But to think Sargon get's paid several times more then you for his videos and can't even be arsed to do the slightest research.
The lack of research might be the key. It's hard, and complicates things, which doesn't sate the needs of a black-and-white world-view. It's easier to sell sweet, easily digestible factoids that through the magic of non sequitur and post hoc, ergo propter hoc transform into an adrenaline rush.
Especially when you've got a increasingly large audience to pacify, and you don't want to lose a single subscriber (and you know they all came to your channel cos they heard your dogwhistles).
asteRISKY careful who you give that title to. Sean and jen is just as "entertainment" based as these alt right folk, just on the other side. His video on tl;dr is illustrative on how you should think of these videos in general id say. Its just using their own tactics against them
hbomberguy is entertaining, but a lot of his videos are just him laughing at the lowest of the opposition. ContraPoints really balances the entertainment factor and the nuance.
Critically thinking rational intellectuals who take article headlines at face value, and can't be bothered to look into its sources, or even read through the whole thing. Why exactly are these folks upheld as the shining examples of intellectualism on youtube again?
M477 that's what baffles me too. Surely Sargon & co should be teaching their viewers the value of thorough research into a topic? How to read widely to get the full picture of the situation? *shrugs* I guess not.
They put themselves there. Also, they started off by criticizing lower-hanging fruits like "faith" and "anti-scientific sentiment", and went on (or down) from there. It didn't take long for them to become parodies of themselves, but the masses had been already properly impressed (I should know, I'm stupid enough that I was, not by Sargon in particular, but some other from the clique).
@@quantumblurrr " This world is full of idiots who think they are intelligent, and intelligent people who think they're idiots,". More common known as the Duning-Kruger effect. Incompetent people think they're intelligent, and these people make up a large proportion of the population. Don't get me wrong, I'm an idiot too, but at least I can acknowledge that and stay silent on things I don't understand. There's also this urge to rebel against what is popular, like with flat eathers, though conservatism and the anti-SJW rhetoric seems to be everywhere. And then there's this racism, sexism etc. that people have to hide from the public for fear of social criticism and instead leave implicit hints, before manifesting their ideas into a platform where other racists and sexists will be.
It's money, not to go all commie which I'm not but what did we expect? Their profits depend on clicks and people aren't willing to click on shit that doesn't trigger them
journalism has always had the fear angle because a lot of people are easily controlled by fears, but more (not qualified) "journalists" can write now because of the internet
I think it's fair enough that he doesn't fact check very thoroughly in a live-stream. I'd let him off easy on that. But then when it's pointed out to him that he doesn't know the full story he says he doesn't care because it's "just entertainment". He also uploads that segment of his stream to his UA-cam channel without issuing any sort of correction, not even a note in the description. Again he tells people who try to correct him in the comments to fuck off. So for all intentions and purpose he has just lied to his audience and told a blatant untrue story as if it was real.
Andreas Hofmann or he took something at face value because its funny. look if his intent was to inform people the story wouldn't have added to the stream.
The Black Alt-Right Which is why i said that'd be fine, if he didn't then refuse to admit it was wrong or correct himself and went on to call people stupid fucks etc for pointing out it's wrong. He also doesn't exactly have the best track record with these stories off-stream either.
You know, on these websites, I always find it rather sad when some people in the US and UK seem to know better how I am doing and what is happening to me than myself, who is actually living in Germany. Each time I comment noting that is just not the case, I get answers ranging from accusations of trolling and lying to telling me that I supposedly just happen to live in the one part of Germany where all is well, and that everywhere else in Germany is supposedly a hellhole. Of course they tell me that without knowing where in Germany I actually live.
Tanith+ Believe me you don't have to live in Germany or Sweden to be annoyed by those people - I live in a part of London that is frequently cited by so-called 'fellow' Brits to be a Sharia Law Hellhole one small step away from Raqqa under ISIS. Utter bullshit of course. Feeling your pain comrade.
I actually have had the reverse happen. A European guy tried to tell me about current events in my country, how bad the brown people are, tried to lightweight dox me to I guess his Nazi buddies but got my grandparents' house instead. It did seem like a one off and very odd event, you folks must live in a Blizzard.
I remember The Express also reported something like "a Muslim Immigrant in Germany brutally murdered a random small girl in a Subway Station" years ago. But if you go read any German newspaper, the actual story would be a Muslim Immigrant in Germany Brutally Murdered his own daughter in public due to a domestic dispute with his wife. Now, both versions are equally horrific indeed, but the later real version is an unfortunate tragedy that could, unfortunately, happens in any country by any race/religion/ethnicity. And the Express version is making it sounds like some "natural violence tendency" that most Muslim Immigrants somehow had. And due to the fact that this is a case of violence lead by domestic dispute rather than some terrorist attack, most newsmedia outside of Germany did not report it. Which created a perfect situation for newsmedia like The Express to take the real picture and the story, and changed the words to make their half fake news.
Swede here, the wristbands wasn't to stop sexual assault, but because alot of rapists went free becouse of the "did you say no though?" /"I thought she wanted it" argument in court. The wrist band wasn't ever to stop the rape problem, but the legal problem.
@@weareallbornmad410if someone is wearing a band that says that they don’t consent, it’s a lot harder to prove in court that they did consent. So yes it does work.
"Streams are for entertainment, not for being factual" Why would he shoot himself in the foot like that? He discredited not only his argument for that topic, but also for anything he might say in the future.
It’s also the Fox News/ Sydney Powell defended. “ oh come on, when I said the election was stolen every day for 3 months, surely you didn’t take me seriously…..”
It's the most rational reply from a rational man who TOTALLY HASN'T spent the last hour replying to every single comment on this video with strange conspiracies
Swedens cosent laws are what makes our definition of rape so broad. It’s a very good thing because it makes sure that unless you actually want to have sex it’s considered rape. In Swedish law you can’t claim it wasn’t rape because the other person didn’t say no. It counts as rape unless you get an agreement to sex. It protects people.
These videos should start with "Trigger Warning: TL;DR's voice." Because boy, if there's one thing I didn't need today, it was to hear whinging Frodoe Slaggins' labored attempts at sarcastic commentary. I guess he hopes that if he just keeps restating his base-level disapproval in increasingly nasal moans, that will offer a viable substitute for his usual "raw data analysis."
And remember that Ben Shapiro wrote for Breitbart for a long time; most of his stories framed similar to these, yet he's being re-branded as some sort of valuable mainstream intellectual.
As a swede the reports on the wristbands was so frustrating to read. No one thought they would stop a rapist. The point was to stop the "did you really say no?" problem in court.
@@meanberryy When I heard Shaun recount the story, I assumed it was as a direct measure against the fear of increasing sexual assault by migrants. Because if the core problem is the fear of something rather than the thing itself, then yeah, a placebo cure will do it.
A writer for Breitbart came into my voip server one day. We were kind to him despite him trying nonstop to piss us off. He eventually gave up the trolling and actually spoke to us about his contributions to the site. He said he essentially just rambles and makes up whatever comes to mind while smoking weed. They literally recruit anyone.
Maybe Sargon should just start doing his apologies in advance. I'm thinking also of his concession to Hbomberguy (really Garrett, tbh). I mean, yeah, good on him for admitting that he's wrong, but if I listened to a pundit who had to retreat so often, I'd probably start looking elsewhere. My hunch is that this is why "Trump-era" Sargon is so non-committal.
Sehr gut! This is a video that many more people should see. To me as a 70+ German whose family suffered the Nazis, such toxic slander, central to its murderous growth, is all too familiar.
What’s more fun? Black Pigeon not knowing the difference between “libel” and “liable,” or hearing the absolute 12-year-old glee with which he says bad words?
I pretty much have no respect for anyone who believes a single story from Breitbart News. It doesn't help that, unlike many people (it seems), I actually remember what Andrew Breitbart was like prior to his death and his hyperbolic veneration by right-wing punditry. I remember how he and his lackeys selectively edited footage, leading to an entire organization - which just so happened to benefit low- and middle-income black families - being defunded and eventually ceasing to exist as well as getting a woman fired for comments taken wholly out of context. People fell for it, without a second thought, yet both cases were proven to be fraudulent...and so many keep fucking doing it despite such unreliability. It's infuriating. *Especially* when it isn't that hard to verify whether a story is bullshit or not with the goddamn internet. It shows how lazy, intellectually and otherwise, these fans of Breitbart News are.
Every time I hear audio clips from the people who make these videos, they seem to sound more and more like American right-wing talk radio. The same delivery, the word choices, and the tone is all there. I used to have to listen to that crap as a kid daily, my dad wouldn't listen to anything else whenever we were in the car. It's like they have to spread bullshit to raise the stakes about everything, or else they'd have nothing to talk about.
AmaranteStryfe i don't think so. But he responded to a video of Shaun (and Jen? I don't know how much she is involved in those videos) by saying he only did "raw data analysis anymore
Jen did the skull art and is in a lot of the older videos. She says Shaun won't let her make a video on these reactionaries because she'd basically just laugh and insult them for 20 minutes.
Really its neither by the looks of it. He's also used the 'Its just a joke bro!' defense to death at this point. You'd think he'd just change tactics but then again that would require him to actually have a reasonable level of self awareness.
I’m honestly shocked. I remember watching videos about these stories a few years ago and believing them, I feel both embarrassed and betrayed. I won’t take things at face value anymore.
the fact that Teal Deer considers what he does first and foremost as entertainment just shows even better how these people treat serious issues, they care about it when they can confuse gullible fools into fake outrage for profit.
my favorite article of this type is "Dad horrified as public school convinces daughter she's a 'boy'....and he can't do anything about it" because not only is it extremely transphobic and not true at all, they also manage to be extremely ableist and sexist while pretending to know a single thing about mental health. Of course a bunch of anti-lgbt people reposted it as fact without reading a single word of the article.
When I was a young teenager, I was super deep in the anti-sjw rabbithole. I remember watching the Sargon video mentioned here. I got out of the anti-SJW shit after I realized I was trans and I came out, and I have since become a leftist and am now watching through your backlog. I had never re-examined the sweden rape statistics, and your explanation made perfect sense. Honestly, all of your old videos debunking antifeminist chuds have been cathartic and eye opening. I wish I had found them when I was 13-14.
Empire Gaming lol; I'm not going to dox you, dude: I wouldn't even know how! It was merely a compliment about their calm demeanour and attention to detail. I think their simple reply to my simple comment was more a mildly wry but pleasant little joke. When you yourself subscribe to someone because you like what they do, does that make you guilty of circle jerking?
Well its crystal clear that you don't give a toss about your viewers and will openly mock them for just trying to correct you and point you in the right direction then its time for people to unsub and unsub fast !
Next TL;DR is gonna forget to turn the camera off during a livestream, and we're going to be able to hear what kind of moans his beautiful voice would make.
Funnily enough, "Breitbart" could be translated as "Wide-Beard" in german, but their politics seem more akin to a well known german with a very narrow beard.
This video is timeless. A family member of mine just started getting a physical delivery paper of "The Epoch Times" which is arguably much worse than Breitbart in the ways described in this video even. It is truly exhausting to continually debunk the articles he cites from them and that despite having debunked dozens of them (it's usually fairly easy with their digital version since the sources they cite behind links tend to just be other articles on their site with no sources or links to things that have nothing to do with what they are talking about) he still trusts them more than me or more than any other news source. Why? Because the apocalyptic vision of America they paint fits in with both his religion's "end times war of the righteous" narrative and the fears of change, immigrants, minorities, liberals, and sexually liberated women that have been quietly (and now loudly) stoked by Fox News and talk radio for the past 40 years. I also appreciate the tone you take and while swearing doesn't offend me, it does offend the people I am trying to reach so being able to link one of your videos to them is huge.
It's always so adorable to here non-German people pronounce German stuff! Great video, by the way. If you ever need any help with research in German, or translation from German, again, feel free to hit me up! Always happy to help.
I'm glad it's adorable bc im trying to learn and I'm definitely gonna mess up and if i ever go to Germany I don't wanna annoy anyone or be laughed at 😂
I love how you so calmly dismantle and destroy really emotionally charged arguments and claims like Stockholm, Sweden being the "rape capital of Europe". The way you remain zen even when these claims are so outrageously and obviously bullshit is something I aspire.
I don’t know if you’re still active here but as a Texan I can tell you we need more fact base debunkers like you. Found your channel recently & I have been watching a bunch of them! Great Job!
I remember when one of my former buddies in the Air Force was sharing a bunch of Breitbart articles that he believed. I commented on one of them "Dude, you're not being serious with these right?" And then he sent me a message asking me to not comment on his posts. Just when you think someone is an intelligent and rational person.
Hey, in case someone's interested in right-wing bullshit from my homeland, Switzerland : our biggest right-wing partly (and even biggest party, sadly) the UDC/SVP are posing as feminists, and arguing that refugees are the primary source of oppression against women (because of their backwards values, sexual assault, you name it). What's funny is, as actual feminists have pointed out, while they (feminists) were marching on the 14th of June last year, the UDC/SVP were holding a charity dinner for an anti-abortion organisation. The nerve those people have...
I didn't even realize I needed this video but now that it's there I'm pretty sure I'm going to link it like at least three times a week. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
I was a journalist for, admittedly, a very small newspaper in rural Wisconsin. But even I, in such an inauspicious role, would have double-guessed such an obviously biased headline. These people clearly just get hard at any possibility of their disgusting viewpoints being right and jump on them immediately because they wholly believe that there's no way they could be wrong. It's really no wonder they're so upset about the state of the world when they've already made up their minds like this.
I'm so glad someone like you is fact checking all these outrage mongers. They claim to be anti-snowflake but they sure do behave like snowflakes without any evidence for their irrational fears and prejudice
So a bunch of these folks were furious about the thought of punishing someone for insulting a killer, eh? I wonder how many of them think punching Nazis is evil?
still blows my mind that 'facts and figures' guys, to this day, fail to understand that the 'facts and figures' can just be entirely made up, but i guess that's the entire point. such an entirely bleak worldview
I just sigh very hard when someone cites a claim with Breitbart, Daily Express, or the Mail. Worst of all if they cite Sargon or BPS. Usually it ends up as another outlet for their outrage as they're told, firmly, to get a reputable source or their claim is invalid. The alt-fact tears are delicious.
i might just be tipsy but "i mean... we can hardly expect him to keep pace with an intellectual powerhouse like sargon of akkad" almost made me cry with laughter. iconic line.
"anger as entertainment" - quite upsetting how so much of the current zeitgeist can be captured in 3 words (and how accurate it remains 4 years later).
“The stream’s for entertainment, not being entirely factual.”
And like that TL:DR forfeited the right to be taken seriously.

I'm German and it's so annoying seeing all those Americans claiming to know anything about the current situation in Germany even though they don't live here
by Americans I mean people in the comments telling me refugees are destroying Germany or something, not you shawn
Shaun*, and you're not even American, didn't even have to say that
Na ja, sie machen ja auch viel kaputt, allerdings übertreiben die amerikanischen Medien schon ziemlich.
As an American I agree with you. People who talk about the "migrant crisis" in Germany/Europe are almost always just looking for an excuse to perpetuate their negative stereotypes of brown people.
ich123binsimmernoch most of my fellow countrymen operate from such a sense of cultivated ignorance it’s surprising they know their left from their right while looking in the mirror
Shaun... dude, you saved me from the alt-right. I fell down their rabbit hole and now I’m starting to realize how dumb I was. Thanks for making these videos, you’re really helping us out.
Legit, thank you for stepping out of it. Takes some fat balls/ovaries to do even the most basic of introspection, let alone act on that insight.
Yo man, it says this comment is a year old. How ya feeling bud? You still out of the dark side? Care to comment on what rabbit hole you fell into, and what specifically brought you back around?
Youre not dumb, the alt right guys paint a convincing argument if you trust them. They're nasty bastards who will lie and deceive to convince people of their ideology. Unless you find someone who can tell you that they're doing that, I don't blame you for not noticing it.
@@ke_ag I know I am not the OP. But for me it started, when I was deep in my depression. I randomly encountered a UA-cam channel, that was hating on feminists, which were far left. I also got onto some channels hating on trans people. At the beginning it seemed pretty weird to me and I was sceptical at the start, but the more often I heard it I sooner or later started to be believe it. I started believing transpeople had a disorder, I bought into the propaganda of people, who hate on black and moslems. The thing that got me out of it, was one of my best friends coming out as trans, me having been an atheist since I was 6 or 7, which helped me see some points that seemed irrational, asking my self, if there is other stuff, that isn’t totally logical. Another huge factor was my ex breaking up with me, which made me wanna exercise and working on my nutrition. After looking better I actually started dating a feminist, which didn’t go well, because I still had the emotional part in the way ingrained from all the years. Even though I knew it was wrong to hate on transpeople, it was something I needed to get emotionally over as well. My discord nowadays, is interestingly enough filled with many people, who around me came out as gay. It still took me like almost another year to really get under people again, but here I am 1 month after that year and I am pretty happy feeling. I am not hating people for no reason except the one that the bubble I was in said they were bad anymore. Only thing lately keeping me down is me having corona symptoms, even the test says negative.
@@tomwanders6022 wish all your discord friends a happy pride month. It can be difficult to have your viewpoints challenged, glad you took the time to think about it.
I'm so glad I got off of the "anti sjw" train. A lot of these commentators are quite manipulative.
welcome to sanity land
They lie almost constantly to justify their positions
Honestly I used to watch those videos religiously but now I know better
I still don’t like SJWs, but now I’m much more aware of right-wing SJWs and outrage merchants. Overall I’m center-left, because I still disagree with the left on a decent chunk of issues. But yeah, I’m glad my super edgy right-wing phase is over.
Anyone with undergraduate understanding of media or sociology would know that prageru and breitbart are full of shit, the root cause of the spread of fake news is sadly a lack of education, a lot of right wing talking points can be debunked by high school understanding of history and philosophy/critical thinking, these should be mandatory in high school IMO, at the very least so people can critically engage with sources. I would hope any intelligent right leaning person would agree it is important for people to be able to question the motives and narratives of media sources, nobody with integrity should want their side's arguments to be built off falsehoods
TL;DR
Too Long; Didn't Research
Too Late; Done Ranting
Cubik accurate
He's the one that saddens me the most. He used to put a lot of effort into his videos and genuinely cared that what he was saying was accurate. He'd point out the issues with things like Sweden's rape statistics and he'd close out his videos with the line "Don't forget to subscribe to my Patreon" to mock those who provided Patreon-funded echo chambers.
Then set up his own Patreon, and became an echo chamber. Nothing was researched, just shitty recycled lies to get people to throw money at him.

As one who actually live in Sweden, in Malmö on top of this which is supposed to be one of the worst places I can say with confidence that quite opposite to what right wingers want to make Sweden out to be we are a prime example of how a western nation can accept massively more immigrants than most do without anything catastrophic happening. The reason Sweden had to put a limit on intake in 2016 was because we can't build the infrastructure quickly enough to keep up; Sweden is a sparsely populated country with cold winters meaning there's a need for effective public transportation and well made housing for everyone, and such things take time to build.
As you point out, the "Rape Epidemic" just isn't there, nor is any "skyrocketing" of crime. Looking at the ultimate crime, murder we notice something interesting. I live in Malmö as stated. This, the most crime ridden city of Sweden there is about 2 murders for 100,000 residents yearly. This is lower than the 5 per 100k the US have _nationwide_ including places like Alaska or rural Wisconsin. Looking at bad places in the US, counterparts to Malmö such as Detroit there are murder rates of 30-60 per 100k, that is 15-30 time worse.
Reality is, Sweden have lately, and historically accepted very large numbers of refugees in regards to the relatively small population. When I was young and spent my time in more physical confrontations with Nazis back in the early ninties it was the same thing, massive amounts of refugees coming here from former Yugoslavia which would absolutely destroy Sweden - today the toddlers who came here back then or kids of young parents who fled here is part of the crowd being outraged about all the Syrians, rehashing all the same arguments which were made about their people back then. It's been people from Iraq during the Iraq conflicts, it's been people from Iran. Back in the 60:ies and 70:ies we were less concerned with color, back then it was mostly the Finns coming here from poor conditions in Finland which were a huge problem; but also people from parts of Europe which were much worse off back then - Italy, Franco's Spain and Greece for example evident by the plethora of racist jokes about Greeks, Italians and Spaniards in existence. Still, throughout all of this, Sweden still is an extremely safe place to be in and the living conditions are as most people know, among the absolute top of the world, and thinking of it it's really not that strange since we've never had any problems with negative population distributions (fewer and fewer young people to provide for more old ones, such as many other European nations have), an influx of well educated people in prime working age and, to be a bit cynical, readily available workers for all the jobs most native swedes are unwilling to perform.
Sorry for the text wall, and cheers for the great video!
Jens Johansson Very informative. I’ve only heard non-Swedish people talking about Sweden and Malmo.
Yeah, thanks for that bit of real-life context.
Jens Johansson muh, rape capital of Europe. Muh, you’ve been brainwashed. Muh, freedom
Jens Johansson in all seriousness this is a really good comment and I’m very glad to hear that Sweden is still a pretty chill country.
My grandfather was a "war child" sent to Sweden.
"During World War II some 70,000 Finnish children (Finnish: sotalapset, the 'war children' Swedish: krigsbarn) were evacuated from Finland, chiefly to Sweden, but also to Norway and Denmark. Most were evacuated during the Continuation War (1941-1944) to ease the situation for their parents who set out to rebuild their homes in the re-conquered Karelia returning from the 1940 evacuation of Finnish Karelia. The first surge of evacuees arrived, however, during the Winter War when the Finns had reasons to fear a humanitarian catastrophe following the expected Soviet occupation." (Wikipedia)
While he was there, my grandmother was living in the town I grew up in, in Southern Finland, and she and her sister had to run and hide in bomb shelters when the Soviets came.
This movie is about that time, I highly recommend if someone wants to see a different perspective on war:
"Mother of Mine (Finnish: Äideistä parhain, Swedish: Den bästa av mödrar) is a 2005 Finnish-Swedish film directed by Klaus Härö about a Finnish war child who is sent by his mother to live in Sweden during World War II."
I think that having this in our not-so-distant history makes us look at war and immigration differently. Americans often think they have it all figured out but sometimes it feels like they forget to be thankful for not having war on their ground, in their homes. And when they forget to be thankful, they forget to really understand, to understand the individual and often completely unfair suffering, the desperation and fear and how everything just completely sucks in general. When I was around 12 years old we had to interview someone who experienced the war, I think it was a valuable lesson for everyone. Soon none of those people will be left here, and we are left to see if we need to refresh our memory by action, or by just remembering not to forget.
We have a joke about unreliable journalism here in East Europe, I'll do my best to translate it.
Our listeners have been asking: Is it true that cars are being handed out at the Red Square?
Erewań Radio answers: Yes, that's true, but it's not cars, it's bikes, and not at the Red Square but near the train station, and also they're not being handed out, they're being stolen.
dr Fishbaum where abouts in Eastern Europe??
Eastern Europe
@@fulcrum2951 slovenia maybe? i've heard slavoj zizek make that joke a bunch of times
@@BigMacsm245 Actually those Radio Eriwan jokes (as they are called in germany) are one of the few cultural things that the whole soviet block shared. If I recall correctly they started with the soviet "Sputnik" magazine, that was published in all the important east european languages and even in the "imperialistic west". The jokes were intended to garner more interest from soviet citizens and sympathies from the west by showing that the socialist countries could joke about themselves. This way the jokes even made it to west germany (and other places, I'm sure.). Radio Eriwan is meant to be the radio of the armenian soviet capital Yerevan, btw.
My favorite ones are:
Question to Radio Eriwan: Is it possible to be a good communist and a good christian at the same time?
In principle yes, but why would one want to make his live twice as hard?
Question to Radio Eriwan: Is it possible to introduce communism into a highly industrialized society/switzerland?
In principle yes, but it would be a pity about the industry/switzerland.
Question to Radio Eriwan: Can you drive 120 k/mh with a russian car on russian roads?
In principle yes, but only once.
Question to Radio Eriwan: Why did they establish a Ministry of Navy in landlocked Armenia. Do you have a sea?
To spite Azerbaijan. They established a Ministry of Culture.
Question to Radio Eriwan: Is it true that the USA will turn communist?
In principle yes, but I'm not sure if the GDR can feed two super powers.
Question to Radio Eriwan: Could the dear lord become a party member?
In principle yes, but first he would have to rescind his church membership.
Question to Radio Eriwan: Can one introduce "socialism in one country" effectively?
In principle yes, but one should reside in a different country.
Question to Radio Eriwan: Is it true that lice could start a revolution too?
In principle yes, for in them flows the blood of the proletariat.
Question to Radio Eriwan: Is it true that the soviet intervention in prague was following a call for help from the czecheslovakian government?
In principle yes, the call for help from 1938 could be sucessfully answered in 1968.
Question to Radio Eriwan: Is it true that capitalism is standing on the edge of the abyss?
In principle yes, but we are a step ahead.
Question to Radio Eriwan: Is it true that every american has a car?
In principle yes, but each of us has a parking space.
Question to Radio Eriwan: Is it true that a stereo radio is superfluous in the soviet union?
In principle yes, you're hearing the same stuff from every side anyways.
Question to Radio Eriwan: Is it true that comrade Stalin collects jokes about him?
In principle yes, but first he collects the people telling them.
Question to Radio Eriwan: What is chaos?
Questions about the agriculture will not be answered.
Question to Radio Eriwan: Can men bear children?
In principle no, but ask the GDR, they'd to anything for foreign currencies.
Question to Radio Eriwan: Can a trabant (the german socialist car of questionable quality) reach 200 k/mh?
In principle yes, it depends on the height from which it is falling.

Tbh, I think once anyone starts citing Breitbart, that person has a duty to research the story at a deeper level. Once it becomes your primary news source, I think it's too late for them.
Same goes for a lot of media in general. It's the core issue. These people still trust the media too much. They read a story, (posted on multiple sites), and report on it. Now, this wouldn't usually be a problem if the standard of journalism hasn't nose dived in the last 10 years. I mean, it's a pretty sad that a story posted on various credible newspapers is incorrect.
People who are so against mainstream journalism shouldn't trust them so much :p
TheLonelyGoomba WOAH was not expecting to see you here :P
whats even worse is that the people who distrust mainstream journalism replace it with shit like Breitbart that is full of blatant, malicious lies

I feel sorry for that Syrian resistance fighter. He risked his life for years fighting against ISIS, earning his passage to a safe place for helping western nations fight terrorism, only to be labelled as a member of the exact organisation he laid his life on the line to stop!

Reminds me of these french anarchists who went to fight isis in rojava, and were arrested at their return in france on behalf of "planned terrorist attacks" because they were gathering some weapons and had made jokes about beating up cops while drunk
I know right? What's sad is that if I'd seen that FB post out of context, I wouldn't have known.
And there is BPS, sitting comfortably in his room, living his comfortable life, talking about this stuff, wishing he could ever do anything as remotely close to badass as this man did. Or just be anything more than a person who makes a 'living' criticising the things other people contribute to society. It's some next level arrogance.
They're not addicted to outrage. It's so much more core than that. They're addicted to seeing themselves as purely logical and intelligent, and therefore believing their own justifications for how they feel. They've labeled emotions as feminine, feminine as weak and evil, and therefore recognizing their own emotional reactions would mean admitting that they're weak and evil. So they position their emotional reactions as supremely logical and intelligent (in other words, masculine and good). In no scenario can they ever admit that they have a strong emotion that guides their actions and views. The stronger their emotion, the more they need to justify it as logical.
Their fear of the other is as strong and as constant as the flow of a river.
Notice how they talk about "rape apologists" when talking about sexual assault involving non-Europeans (note that they do not look at "immigrant" rape involving European immigration), but then talk about how murdering "incels" are "driven" to murdering women by feminists? That the only phrase only one of them even bothers to differentiate the acts with is "gang rape?" Because they're speaking to each other, and they understand implicitly that they have a right to "their" women's bodies, but outsider men have no rights at all. The whole of their rhetoric has one aim: to exalt their community's domination of and cruelty to others as at least justifiable and at most (and more often) beneficial, and denigrate any policy or idea that empowers their victims, who is everyone they see as "other."
Difference scares them, because they need to use their emotions and empathy to interact with people different than themselves and they suck at that. Women, with our culture of incorporating emotional and qualitative information into logical decisions, something they cannot do, scare them. They're scared of the fact that they're scared, and can't bear to see anyone else handle their feelings more capably. They're frightened little boys who have made a culture where the boy who beats everyone else down wins, terrified that one day the "others" they've persecuted will gain power and return the favor. Or worse, that those people will gain power and treat them _better_ than they've treated everyone else, and make them and their entire culture look evil. Since they can't handle emotion, they absolutely can't handle guilt or shame. They certainly can't face the fact that their position of being able to bully others- which they see as superiority- means that outsiders _have_ to be tougher than they are just to survive, that they are in fact weaker in all the ways that they care about (physical and emotional endurance, intelligence to think their way out of difficult situations, ability to survive harsh conditions, etc.). So they externalize their fear, guilt, shame, and insecurity in the form of rage.
A process that gets blocked whenever facts show their rage to be illogical or unnecessary. They can't handle the truth, which is that the privilege they were born to, that they love so much, comes with moral and ethical inferiority, as well as a life of so much more ease that it means outsiders are tougher in all the ways that count to them.
Mind, I say this as an American, so I count myself as someone in a privileged, morally inferior position who wouldn't survive one day in Aleppo. I'm not saying that the position makes someone a bad person. I'm not even saying people are obligated to do anything personally about their privilege. We all do what we can handle, which for most of us is looking after our friends and family. But trying to pretend that being so weak that you _need_ to let small children face death in myriad forms (from poison gas and bombs to drowning and starving) rather than tolerate your fear of them is actually strength, well, that's the kind of self-delusion that leads to tragedy.

This is a 2 year old comment, but just wanted to say I appreciate you pointing out how they view emotions/feelings as "feminine" and viewing anything feminine as "weak". Views like these run deep and are at the roots of a LOT of toxic and harmful behavior, and not enough people really bring that fact to light.
Yep. They’re appropriating and bastardizing a completely neutral thing. As a philosophy major, I know there’s definitely some clean up that needs to be happening in formal academia with regard to philosophy, but to see these fucking morons try to claim they have some kind of monopoly over it? Watching their conversations and arguments, it’s like watching a 9 year olds idea of what any of what they’re attempting to talk about is. The most offensive part is not only how completely and utterly wrong all of them are, but it’s how they try to morph it into a weapon to hit other people with. They don’t own the discipline of philosophy or formal logic. And they certainly have zero respect for it.

@Jason Hurk I don't know, I can't be bothered to watch the video again to remind myself of exactly what I was talking about so I can deal with whatever is going in in you head about what I said, and to be clear, I don't actually know what you are arguing with me about.
@Jason Hurk OK, Trump is negatively portrayed in the media because he is a full on man baby who has been wreaking havoc on the USA throughout his presidency and is so self obsessed he thinks that Coronavirus is just an attempt to stop him getting re elected as president. However, his fanbase tend to believe that simply reporting facts about him is outrageously negative and biased reporting, and it is therefore pointless to read any news about him, it is all, to them, fake news. My little contribution to the comments that seems to have got you so worked up was me poking fun at them.
I'm on a discussion board, one day the adminstrator decided to ban "Shock news" and the posting of any news article without commment.

Why does such a law exist? Why? Just... why?
@@emilsinclair4190 because we live in a patriarchal society that subjugates women and treats them poorly because we've always done it that way.

If 5 minutes is is a Sargon, can we call reading two sentences an Akkad, because if he doesn't agree with it then that seems to be all he can read at a time. Please make this a thing, I want to contribute. So:

2 sentences of a source= 1 Akkad
To give a non-political example of "outrage addiction," it reminds me of an observation my brother made about working in customer service. He said people sometimes come up to him with complaints and seem to get more upset when he immediately does everything in his power to make it right instead of giving them a chance to go ballistic like they had planned on.
I know this is an old post but I figured I would throw my experience out there having worked retail myself.... To be honest, some people are just downright unpleasant to be around and (usually due to a lack of control in their own life), they will take any chance they can get to drag down the mood of everyone around them.... This habit tends to go into overdrive when they are dealing with service/hospitality workers, if only so they can feel control over something for a moment

The atheist-right and conservative talk radio have so much in common, including pulling the "entertainment" card when called out for spreading bullshit. They are all clueless too.
The irony is many folks on the atheist right used to mock conservative talk radio hosts. Speaking as an atheist they make me slap my forehead and wonder what happened to the skeptic community I used to know?
TheAngryHolmesian it became popular to be “skeptical” of anything which is considered taboo to criticize, so naturally it progresses from valid criticism of religion to criticism of concepts like racial and gender equality. Thankfully we still have creators like Jimmy Snow and Genetically Modified Skeptic who are honest and supportive of progressive movements
The funny thing is I became atheist because I agreed with progressive movements. How did the atheist-right come to be like this?
Atheism has nothing to do with it.

You know the best part about that last story with the neo nazis occupying the church? The resident nun, or whatever she is called, turned on the bells so the extremists slogans could not be heard down in the street and one of them actually tried sueing the nun for damages due to that. Fucking gold
You wanna know what the best part about the nazis on the church was though?
They forgot that churches, being churches, have bells in them and that they will be louder than you can shout. So the priest just went ahead and turned on the bells, such that they weren't able to shout their insults.
Huh...
Good for him
Skallagrim once misreported a crime story that outraged him. He later realized he was misinterpreting events based on improper research, so he made a video apologizing and explained what actually happened in full. This is what a UA-camr - especially one with a sizeable audience - really needs to do when they make videos meant to educate a populace on a subject.
Morgan Jones The thing is that Skallagrim is a weapons nerd, not a political commentator or a pundit - he can therefore behave like a normal person.
What was the story? Was it the one with warning labels on avocado?
Least he apologized for making a mistake in comparison to the "skeptic" channels
Morgan Jones the difference with Skallagrim is that he has a basic shred of integrity and isn't running a channel to spew reactionary propaganda. Oops, I mean he's not running a "skeptic channel".
Too bad MatPat has never made a video apologizing for the GameTheory video concerning For Honor.
He was HANDILY debunked at least three separate times by Skallagrim, Shadiversity and Metatron.
All of whom personally and respectfully aimed their videos directly at his wildly egregious claims about vikings, samurai and knights.
#STILLWAITINGMATPAT
Shaun, you're doing tremendous work here. But to think Sargon get's paid several times more then you for his videos and can't even be arsed to do the slightest research.
The lack of research might be the key. It's hard, and complicates things, which doesn't sate the needs of a black-and-white world-view. It's easier to sell sweet, easily digestible factoids that through the magic of non sequitur and post hoc, ergo propter hoc transform into an adrenaline rush.
Especially when you've got a increasingly large audience to pacify, and you don't want to lose a single subscriber (and you know they all came to your channel cos they heard your dogwhistles).
The way it goes hard work and actual fairness rarely gets rewarded

Oh, Sargon can be arsed for anything. Sometimes it just takes a lot of gentle, yet firmly insistent arsing.
finally a fucking voice of reason among all these political youtubers. you are a blessing, my friend.
Empire Gaming Your faves fell for fake outrage, dude. Get over it.
I dunno, hbomberguy is okay too I guess...
Watch ContraPoints. He's fucking delightful.
asteRISKY careful who you give that title to. Sean and jen is just as "entertainment" based as these alt right folk, just on the other side. His video on tl;dr is illustrative on how you should think of these videos in general id say. Its just using their own tactics against them
hbomberguy is entertaining, but a lot of his videos are just him laughing at the lowest of the opposition. ContraPoints really balances the entertainment factor and the nuance.
It’s almost as if running a news outlet for profit leads to extremely shady practices.

Critically thinking rational intellectuals who take article headlines at face value, and can't be bothered to look into its sources, or even read through the whole thing.
Why exactly are these folks upheld as the shining examples of intellectualism on youtube again?
M477 that's what baffles me too. Surely Sargon & co should be teaching their viewers the value of thorough research into a topic? How to read widely to get the full picture of the situation? *shrugs* I guess not.
They put themselves there. Also, they started off by criticizing lower-hanging fruits like "faith" and "anti-scientific sentiment", and went on (or down) from there. It didn't take long for them to become parodies of themselves, but the masses had been already properly impressed (I should know, I'm stupid enough that I was, not by Sargon in particular, but some other from the clique).
Frank Furtschool Because a majority portion of the population will always be taken up by idiots
@@quantumblurrr " This world is full of idiots who think they are intelligent, and intelligent people who think they're idiots,".
More common known as the Duning-Kruger effect. Incompetent people think they're intelligent, and these people make up a large proportion of the population. Don't get me wrong, I'm an idiot too, but at least I can acknowledge that and stay silent on things I don't understand.
There's also this urge to rebel against what is popular, like with flat eathers, though conservatism and the anti-SJW rhetoric seems to be everywhere. And then there's this racism, sexism etc. that people have to hide from the public for fear of social criticism and instead leave implicit hints, before manifesting their ideas into a platform where other racists and sexists will be.

Teal deer fell for fake news again... Hahaha... And then denies further information that would correct the article... Hahahaha.
JP Pribulick Shh. You know you can't talk bad about him. He'll sick his fans on y-I mean make a well sourced response video.
The worst thing is that the information that contradicts him was known well before his video...
I think it's fair enough that he doesn't fact check very thoroughly in a live-stream. I'd let him off easy on that.
But then when it's pointed out to him that he doesn't know the full story he says he doesn't care because it's "just entertainment". He also uploads that segment of his stream to his UA-cam channel without issuing any sort of correction, not even a note in the description. Again he tells people who try to correct him in the comments to fuck off.
So for all intentions and purpose he has just lied to his audience and told a blatant untrue story as if it was real.
Andreas Hofmann or he took something at face value because its funny. look if his intent was to inform people the story wouldn't have added to the stream.
The Black Alt-Right Which is why i said that'd be fine, if he didn't then refuse to admit it was wrong or correct himself and went on to call people stupid fucks etc for pointing out it's wrong.
He also doesn't exactly have the best track record with these stories off-stream either.
You know, on these websites, I always find it rather sad when some people in the US and UK seem to know better how I am doing and what is happening to me than myself, who is actually living in Germany. Each time I comment noting that is just not the case, I get answers ranging from accusations of trolling and lying to telling me that I supposedly just happen to live in the one part of Germany where all is well, and that everywhere else in Germany is supposedly a hellhole. Of course they tell me that without knowing where in Germany I actually live.
Tanith+ Believe me you don't have to live in Germany or Sweden to be annoyed by those people - I live in a part of London that is frequently cited by so-called 'fellow' Brits to be a Sharia Law Hellhole one small step away from Raqqa under ISIS. Utter bullshit of course. Feeling your pain comrade.
I actually have had the reverse happen. A European guy tried to tell me about current events in my country, how bad the brown people are, tried to lightweight dox me to I guess his Nazi buddies but got my grandparents' house instead. It did seem like a one off and very odd event, you folks must live in a Blizzard.
I remember The Express also reported something like "a Muslim Immigrant in Germany brutally murdered a random small girl in a Subway Station" years ago. But if you go read any German newspaper, the actual story would be a Muslim Immigrant in Germany Brutally Murdered his own daughter in public due to a domestic dispute with his wife. Now, both versions are equally horrific indeed, but the later real version is an unfortunate tragedy that could, unfortunately, happens in any country by any race/religion/ethnicity. And the Express version is making it sounds like some "natural violence tendency" that most Muslim Immigrants somehow had.
And due to the fact that this is a case of violence lead by domestic dispute rather than some terrorist attack, most newsmedia outside of Germany did not report it. Which created a perfect situation for newsmedia like The Express to take the real picture and the story, and changed the words to make their half fake news.

Swede here, the wristbands wasn't to stop sexual assault, but because alot of rapists went free becouse of the
"did you say no though?" /"I thought she wanted it" argument in court.
The wrist band wasn't ever to stop the rape problem, but the legal problem.
There's no way that would work.
@@weareallbornmad410if someone is wearing a band that says that they don’t consent, it’s a lot harder to prove in court that they did consent. So yes it does work.

Swedens cosent laws are what makes our definition of rape so broad. It’s a very good thing because it makes sure that unless you actually want to have sex it’s considered rape. In Swedish law you can’t claim it wasn’t rape because the other person didn’t say no. It counts as rape unless you get an agreement to sex. It protects people.
That's really nice man I wish it was like that in the US. Here our numbers are so skewed bc so many rapes go unreported.
tl;dr ONLY does RAW DATA ANALYSIS, don't ya know? Except for when he's making streams which are purely for entertainment purposes. lol
Right wing raw data analysis is essentially entertainment
It's a testament to how little he knows when he thinks he's doing "raw data analysis" instead of just reading and completely butchering studies.
Hey tl;dr DOES do raw data analysis! He interprets raw data (the weight of feminists) and then analyses it (they're fat). Good god.
R A W D A T A A N A L Y S I S
buttbot basically doesn't mean exclusively
These videos should start with "Trigger Warning: TL;DR's voice." Because boy, if there's one thing I didn't need today, it was to hear whinging Frodoe Slaggins' labored attempts at sarcastic commentary. I guess he hopes that if he just keeps restating his base-level disapproval in increasingly nasal moans, that will offer a viable substitute for his usual "raw data analysis."
Savage.
Lats Feelyat "Frodo Slaggins' " is legendary lmfao
“Increasingly nasal moans...” 💀💀💀
And remember that Ben Shapiro wrote for Breitbart for a long time; most of his stories framed similar to these, yet he's being re-branded as some sort of valuable mainstream intellectual.
Concerning the tattoo story,it's a bit sad that people only care about sexual assault when it
can push their agenda.
As a swede the reports on the wristbands was so frustrating to read.
No one thought they would stop a rapist. The point was to stop the "did you really say no?" problem in court.
@@meanberryy
When I heard Shaun recount the story, I assumed it was as a direct measure against the fear of increasing sexual assault by migrants. Because if the core problem is the fear of something rather than the thing itself, then yeah, a placebo cure will do it.
Calling themselves "rationals" and "free thinkers" and going on to say "I don't care if this is factual"...
let that sink in.

A writer for Breitbart came into my voip server one day. We were kind to him despite him trying nonstop to piss us off. He eventually gave up the trolling and actually spoke to us about his contributions to the site. He said he essentially just rambles and makes up whatever comes to mind while smoking weed.
They literally recruit anyone.
Maybe Sargon should just start doing his apologies in advance. I'm thinking also of his concession to Hbomberguy (really Garrett, tbh). I mean, yeah, good on him for admitting that he's wrong, but if I listened to a pundit who had to retreat so often, I'd probably start looking elsewhere. My hunch is that this is why "Trump-era" Sargon is so non-committal.
LOL sup Garrett

I pretty much have no respect for anyone who believes a single story from Breitbart News. It doesn't help that, unlike many people (it seems), I actually remember what Andrew Breitbart was like prior to his death and his hyperbolic veneration by right-wing punditry.
I remember how he and his lackeys selectively edited footage, leading to an entire organization - which just so happened to benefit low- and middle-income black families - being defunded and eventually ceasing to exist as well as getting a woman fired for comments taken wholly out of context. People fell for it, without a second thought, yet both cases were proven to be fraudulent...and so many keep fucking doing it despite such unreliability. It's infuriating. *Especially* when it isn't that hard to verify whether a story is bullshit or not with the goddamn internet. It shows how lazy, intellectually and otherwise, these fans of Breitbart News are.
What can we look up to see the specific event you're referring to?

Every time I hear audio clips from the people who make these videos, they seem to sound more and more like American right-wing talk radio. The same delivery, the word choices, and the tone is all there. I used to have to listen to that crap as a kid daily, my dad wouldn't listen to anything else whenever we were in the car. It's like they have to spread bullshit to raise the stakes about everything, or else they'd have nothing to talk about.

so is tldr doing raw data analisys or entertainment now?
Ture Raffel he ever did either?
AmaranteStryfe i don't think so. But he responded to a video of Shaun (and Jen? I don't know how much she is involved in those videos) by saying he only did "raw data analysis anymore
Jen did the skull art and is in a lot of the older videos. She says Shaun won't let her make a video on these reactionaries because she'd basically just laugh and insult them for 20 minutes.
Huw alright. Thanks.
PS: Jen, if you are reading this, I just wanted to say that the skull looks amazing
Really its neither by the looks of it. He's also used the 'Its just a joke bro!' defense to death at this point. You'd think he'd just change tactics but then again that would require him to actually have a reasonable level of self awareness.
I’m honestly shocked. I remember watching videos about these stories a few years ago and believing them, I feel both embarrassed and betrayed. I won’t take things at face value anymore.
the fact that Teal Deer considers what he does first and foremost as entertainment just shows even better how these people treat serious issues, they care about it when they can confuse gullible fools into fake outrage for profit.
Well, luckily we know that the Trump administration is being well advised. Much facts, so alternative.

"I don't really very much care." Really sums these people up, huh?
my favorite article of this type is "Dad horrified as public school convinces daughter she's a 'boy'....and he can't do anything about it" because not only is it extremely transphobic and not true at all, they also manage to be extremely ableist and sexist while pretending to know a single thing about mental health. Of course a bunch of anti-lgbt people reposted it as fact without reading a single word of the article.
When I was a young teenager, I was super deep in the anti-sjw rabbithole. I remember watching the Sargon video mentioned here. I got out of the anti-SJW shit after I realized I was trans and I came out, and I have since become a leftist and am now watching through your backlog. I had never re-examined the sweden rape statistics, and your explanation made perfect sense. Honestly, all of your old videos debunking antifeminist chuds have been cathartic and eye opening. I wish I had found them when I was 13-14.
I love how relevant this video still is 6 years later.

Funnily enough, "Breitbart" could be translated as "Wide-Beard" in german, but their politics seem more akin to a well known german with a very narrow beard.
My ear drums have been missing your sober voice for far too long. Great video!
Is this why you stopped making videos? Distracted by an angel fallen from heaven?
never knew eberto was one of the lefty pals Shaun talked about
This video is timeless. A family member of mine just started getting a physical delivery paper of "The Epoch Times" which is arguably much worse than Breitbart in the ways described in this video even. It is truly exhausting to continually debunk the articles he cites from them and that despite having debunked dozens of them (it's usually fairly easy with their digital version since the sources they cite behind links tend to just be other articles on their site with no sources or links to things that have nothing to do with what they are talking about) he still trusts them more than me or more than any other news source. Why? Because the apocalyptic vision of America they paint fits in with both his religion's "end times war of the righteous" narrative and the fears of change, immigrants, minorities, liberals, and sexually liberated women that have been quietly (and now loudly) stoked by Fox News and talk radio for the past 40 years.
I also appreciate the tone you take and while swearing doesn't offend me, it does offend the people I am trying to reach so being able to link one of your videos to them is huge.
It's always so adorable to here non-German people pronounce German stuff! Great video, by the way. If you ever need any help with research in German, or translation from German, again, feel free to hit me up! Always happy to help.
I'm glad it's adorable bc im trying to learn and I'm definitely gonna mess up and if i ever go to Germany I don't wanna annoy anyone or be laughed at 😂
I love how you so calmly dismantle and destroy really emotionally charged arguments and claims like Stockholm, Sweden being the "rape capital of Europe". The way you remain zen even when these claims are so outrageously and obviously bullshit is something I aspire.
I don’t know if you’re still active here but as a Texan I can tell you we need more fact base debunkers like you. Found your channel recently & I have been watching a bunch of them! Great Job!

I remember when one of my former buddies in the Air Force was sharing a bunch of Breitbart articles that he believed. I commented on one of them "Dude, you're not being serious with these right?" And then he sent me a message asking me to not comment on his posts. Just when you think someone is an intelligent and rational person.
Yikes that sucks.
Oof.
I'd never heard of Teal deer before watching these videos, and I'm beginning to think he's not very bright.

Me: No, not even a little bit.
Hey, in case someone's interested in right-wing bullshit from my homeland, Switzerland : our biggest right-wing partly (and even biggest party, sadly) the UDC/SVP are posing as feminists, and arguing that refugees are the primary source of oppression against women (because of their backwards values, sexual assault, you name it). What's funny is, as actual feminists have pointed out, while they (feminists) were marching on the 14th of June last year, the UDC/SVP were holding a charity dinner for an anti-abortion organisation. The nerve those people have...
Apart from hypocrisy muslims are certainly no friend of feminism either.
I didn't even realize I needed this video but now that it's there I'm pretty sure I'm going to link it like at least three times a week. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
I am very pleased to see you debunk all the BS coming from the far-right (and sometimes other people as well). Keep it up!
Great video. Your presence on this website is extremely valuable.
"I don't care, this is meant to be entertainment, not being factually correct"..... Did he just give the game away?
No, if he said "This is meant to be racist propaganda to indoctrinated idiots" then he would be giving the game away.
I was a journalist for, admittedly, a very small newspaper in rural Wisconsin. But even I, in such an inauspicious role, would have double-guessed such an obviously biased headline. These people clearly just get hard at any possibility of their disgusting viewpoints being right and jump on them immediately because they wholly believe that there's no way they could be wrong.
It's really no wonder they're so upset about the state of the world when they've already made up their minds like this.
8,28 whole delicious Sargons of Shaun and Jen content? Yes, please!
I'm so glad someone like you is fact checking all these outrage mongers. They claim to be anti-snowflake but they sure do behave like snowflakes without any evidence for their irrational fears and prejudice
So a bunch of these folks were furious about the thought of punishing someone for insulting a killer, eh?
I wonder how many of them think punching Nazis is evil?
still blows my mind that 'facts and figures' guys, to this day, fail to understand that the 'facts and figures' can just be entirely made up, but i guess that's the entire point. such an entirely bleak worldview
38% of statistics are made up 👍
When I read social media comments outraged about anything, I now read them internally in Shaun’s voice. It puts a nice spin on everything
I just sigh very hard when someone cites a claim with Breitbart, Daily Express, or the Mail. Worst of all if they cite Sargon or BPS.
Usually it ends up as another outlet for their outrage as they're told, firmly, to get a reputable source or their claim is invalid.
The alt-fact tears are delicious.
Good video, but please stop going soft on Sargon.
i might just be tipsy but "i mean... we can hardly expect him to keep pace with an intellectual powerhouse like sargon of akkad" almost made me cry with laughter. iconic line.
"You're lying"
"I don't really care, it's entertainment"
"anger as entertainment" - quite upsetting how so much of the current zeitgeist can be captured in 3 words (and how accurate it remains 4 years later).
A fine time for a S&J video, the shade you throw sustains me
