I should probably put this thread on my watched threads list, I keep missing out on interesting videos unless I go here or to some Reddit boards. :)
Been watching clips from this fellow named RM Brown, it's not really much in the way of insightful commentary but he has a comedic style that I like. Not sure what else he's been up to though so if he's one of those guys with an unfortunate backstory I'll take down the vid link.

Recently discovered Eco Gecko who, much like donoteat, talks a lot about urban development.
He has some pretty interesting videos, and I highly recommend his series The Suburban Wasteland
It's about how the suburbs in the US are wasteful and only exist at the expense of everyone else.

Don't watch Xanderhal too often but he had a good video drop today. For those who don't know, he made a name for himself for his YT video about how he entered & thankfully ultimately exited the alt-right YT pipeline & was further immortalized in the NYT podcast Rabbit Hole specifically about YT radicalization where his personal recounting of his journey played a major part. Some of his time being indoctrinated still lingers sometimes (like I think he still has a vague, undefined dislike of Anita Sarkeesian) but his perspective is hopefully good for reconditioning alt-righters who were just like him.
This recent video is about lesser known grifter Lauren Chen and how she is desperate to characterize the efforts of medical professionals to vaccinate black and brown populations as a priority due to their specific risks and positions in the system that disenfranchises them is reverse racism & actually the real "systemic racism". Like Xanderhal says the entire thing is an exercise in her arguing with the well defined and research driven reasons these experts give and creating the straw man that researchers are only doing this because they hate White (& Asian) people.
Like is pointed out, white supremacy has cultivated over generations a segment of the populous that it marginalizes in arenas of health care & economic opportunities that it now has to prioritize if it wants to continue the battle against this pandemic. Black & brown communities are forced into lives where the some of the only career options they have access to are service jobs that the mainstream looks down upon & by being so systematically denied equitable & affordable healthcare they too often aren't able to prioritize getting tested or treated. Not only that but as has been brought up these last several months, inhumane medical experimentation on black people throughout the history of this country makes so many wary of trusting the medical system at all which is an absolute necessity if the US actually wants to end the pandemic. This policy that Lauren is so furious at only exists due to the very thing bigots want to pretend doesn't exist: targeted, systemic racism that has continued perpetually in one way or another since Antebellum. But acknowledging that obliterates the entire narrative of white supremacy.

Don't know who Lauren Chen is but maybe I'll check it out for the topic itself.
All I know about Xanderhal is he recently got called out by Lily Simpson for doing a redemption arc for Kelvin Garrah and deadnaming Blaire White on stream. This is where cis allyship can hit its blindspots.

G'damnit. Exactly the shit I hoped to see less of from the dude.
As always brilliant work from Jose. Can't remember the outlet but this just justifies how pissed I & many others were that the outlet even interviewed her to let her peddle her "new leaf" arc recently. She went from being a outright bigot with filed off edges to being the "just asking questions/both sides" faux even-handed grifter that attracts self-proclaimed moderates on top of bigots who know it isn't fashionable to say what they really feel. The fact that so much scum like Mike Cernovich were even considered as potential subjects let alone chosen speaks volumes about the actual agenda of the doc but just because they are "well spoken" white men in suits with flattering lighting will be all that's needed for some people to consider them automatically reputable or authorities in the field they claim they specialize in. Thankful for Jose's multiple vids exposing her. I'm pretty sure it was one of them that was my first watch & made me subscribe.

New video from Shaun on the 1776 Project and how it was lazy and rather predictable propaganda
Majority Report hit one million subs. Sam actually looked pretty teary eyed. Also sucks that Michael isn't here for this.
This vid was absolutely amazing work and some of Shaun's best since his Bell Curve & Charlottesville vids. It's funny how Trump & his ghouls tried to tout that shit as being worth teaching in schools when just this video alone has significantly more merit as a necessary teaching tool.
The portion about how the report is forced to whitewash MLK & Frederick Douglas to tie the logistical knots necessary to try and erase the reality of black oppression and the history of slavery is something that needs to be excised and used whenever anyone tries to pull the "MLK wouldn't approve" shit with modern activists like BLM.
One of the scariest things coming away from this is how close it was to actually being made a mandatory tool. Guaranteed if the Biden administration didn't immediately nuke this shitty propaganda it would have matriculated into the hands of so many bigoted teachers ready to lie to their classes. Hell if Trump straight up won I have no doubt scum like Miller would have pushed to make this report a required bit of course work in schools across the country. Such a blatant conspiratorial white supremacist & anti-black screed would have been not just legitimized but forced on the population of the election had gone differently.
Saw this video from the Serfs/Serf Times last week and could not stop thinking about it. It's commentary over a "debate" hosted by Blaze TV between multiple striations of conservative darlings.
Guests include Blaire White trans anti-queer activist & Karlyn Borysenko who form the debate's misguided coalition of the "disaffected left", the people who like to claim SJWs & cancel culture are the most toxic elements of current politics and that supposedly the right is the only party with the potential to bring about an actual glorious America. The rub is that they're up against the actual toxic element of modern politics, two dyed in the wool Republicans who have no interest in catering to "undesired groups" but also, as the video plays out, are actively antagonist towards the presence of the other two guests, insulting Blaire for being trans and standing up in the attempt one off them made to get the Borysenko's Hispanic husband deported.
All in all it's a video that is an outright counter to the idea so many centrists, grifters & people on the right try to spin that "the right is more accepting & less toxic than the PC left". In particular too I'm struck by how pathetically both of the disaffected left guests particularly Blaire White seem to fare in the face of direct opposition to everything they are. Their argument that conservatives can "conserve what they want to conserve" as long as they embrace marginalized people is inherently nonsense because the goal of modern conservatives, the priority of what they "want to conserve" is a status quo where Christianity, whiteness & toxic masculine ideals are the only values & interests of the American project. They want to conserve a world where women, people of color and LGBTQ+ Americans know and remain in their place as second class citizens. The Republican embracing/tolerance of people like Blaire or Karlyn or Candice Owens or Log Cabin Republicans etc. is explicitly to use them to shore up white, straight, cisgender, Christian supremacy and discard them when their convince has run out or when they attempt to ask for more than table scraps.
The insults laid on Blaire in particular are horrendous but her grift forces her to beg a straight up monster to be validated as she renounces other trans people and their identities & tries to pretend that the people she's talking to are the actual reasonable & welcoming party in modern politics.

Thanks for the write-up. I'm saving this to watch later tonight. Also this deserves its own thread.
Heh well if no topics show up by tomorrow I might make one. Only wary because I feel that I jinx topics and rarely get them to catch people
I just watched this and want to add that it's extremely disappointing how Harris himself answered in the comments section. First he made a baseless "this is a conspiracy video" accusation before even watching the video, which he then deleted in favor of a "it's a good video but I still disagree and you should have engaged with the content of my original post" when that was not at all what Nicholas was trying to address. How can you claim to be an independent journalist when you do not see the incredibly apparent issue with a collaboration like that in the way it was presented?
Chowder has been dodging the guy for awhile now.
Crowder: "I respect people who enter the arena"
Also Crowder: "Stop hiding behind the glasses!" as he baba booey baba booey Howard Stern's balls'd his way out of there as quickly as he can come up with a reason to.
It's so embarrassing but I bet Crowder fans will not see it
They're in deep denial. Basically deflecting Crowder's history of dodging Sam and lying about it by saying what Ethan and Sam did was unethical.
#itsaboutethicsindebating
It was such a pleasant experience when I pulled up twitter to doom scroll and it was just all Crowder maulding. It was a good night
I can't stand seeing assholes like Crowder talk for more than 5 seconds, so I didn't watch any of their debate, but sounds like he was made a fool, which is nice.
We need way more of these
It's clear that conservative commentators can't debate when the conditions aren't in their favor, so we need to find more opportunities to ambush them.
In addition, has anyone yet looked into sharpening rhetoric to convince non-leftists to their side?
George Lakoff: In Politics, Progressives Need to Frame Their Values
George Lakoff's explanations are just mind-blowing and I recommend that we all take his suggestions to heart.
If Tucker Carlson was able to con people into believing he's a working-class hero using bullshit talking points, I don't see how the Left can take one out of their playbook.

I didn't know much about Vaush's transgressions before reading about him on Era today, but I wanted to at least bring up something he discussed regarding the Christine Chandler. I'll only post the video if permitted.
He discussed with a guest how leftist YouTube should be covering this situation. It's already making the rounds on the internet whether we like it or not and the facists are jumping all over this to craft transphobic, ableist narratives.
The host and guest talked about how we on the left should get involved. We must frame this whole shitshow around the fact that internet scumbags are continuing a decade-long online stalking campaign has been perpetrated against someone with allegedly the mental age of a 10-year-old.
While Christine's actions are indefensible and she should be institutionalized for her own and everyone's safety, we must emphasize that the scumbags from places like 4chan and KiwiFarms (originally named CWC farms iirc) belong in prison for manipulating and harassing her (and many others) for this long.
If any of these topics are inappropriate for here, then I understand and I'll stop.

I initially had a long post typed up trying to explain why I think he gets the hate/criticism he does, but I'll just say personally I disagree with how he approaches certain subjects and conversations with others, plus an inability to properly curate his community.
Though a good portion of the hate probably comes from tankies and people only catching misleading clips/tweets.
But either way, the recent charity stream he did was nothing short of incredible, and I'm hopeful he puts up a good fight debating Charlie Kirk tonight.
I remember someone posting in response to me a while back about some really shitty things he has said in the past. Can't remember the details but it wasn't great from what I remember.

But this is my first time hearing about how Cuba could have been astroturfed on social media, so hopefully if it's credible it gets picked up on more and looked further into.
Sorry, have no clue who that other person is, is he denying the genocide in China towards Uyghur muslims? Can I get some evidence? I just see the accusations here. It sucks that he's collaborating with someone like that if true. I hadn't followed the Cuba situation closely, but hearing about the SOS Cuba protests which were dwarfed by the pro-Cuban gov't protests and not covered, was interesting and worth sharing.
The only reason I am aware of him is because I'm terminally online and pay too much attention to stupid internet politics.
Thank you, yeah that's definitely genocide denial. That's disappointing of Second Thought. Come to think of it, he hasn't done a video on Uyghur, so I'm now wondering if he holds the same position. In Bay Area 415's video of their collaboration, he brings up how he's accused of being a genocide denier, and Second JT Chapman (Second Thought) doesn't challenge or bring up the genocide.

Oh yeah the kink at pride stuff, to be honest I totally didn't pay attention to any of that so I wasn't sure who was on what side.
