Don't worry, you're not stupid, no matter what the ducks say!https://twitter.com/BadMouse1011. How Labour Governedhttps://files.libcom.org/files/How%20Labour...
I’m not planning on watching the video, no. I don’t want to give it views to push it up the algorithm, and I already know that if the conclusion is “voting is silly,” then it’s wrong and not worth watching.
You’re free to feel that’s unfair if you want, but it’s not.
Just sad that you didn’t give the video a fair review, while calling me a shill for posting a thought-provoking video essay.
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.
Here is a piped link. I’m not associated with BadMouse, and I don’t necessarily agree with their politics. I did, however, find the video informative. So, I thought I would share.
thats more reasonable. I will now give it a look later. Granted though I still find video a poor means of intellectual discourse over the formal written word.
This looks like one of those weird kids’ Youtube videos that has been in the uncanny valley for so long that it’s gotten settled in and set up a thriving sustainable business for itself there
I did actually watch the paradox video just out of curiosity. Between the weird and offputting presentation and the first video which says literally nothing except “now that you’ve watched this video, click here, and watch the real video!” I decided it was safe to conclude it was bullshit.
I mean, I do know what the paradox of tolerance is. “You have to give me a full open hearing each and every time I come into your little space to broadcast propaganda, just in case this new thing is innocent and insightful and just happens to look like the rest of the propaganda purely by coincidence” is a pretty textbook example. If you feel differently, you’re welcome to say why, but I don’t feel I’m obligated to run around watching extra videos to help you in the effort.
I watched some of it, all I saw were specious arguments that I’d expect to hear from goth teenagers at the mall. Maybe tankies find this kind of stuff compelling, rational people probably won’t.
You might like another video from BadMouse, The Problem with Tankies. I don’t know of his predilections towards Goths, so your inferences seem irrational.
This is addressed in the video I posted 16 minutes ago, and is 34 minutes long. Proving you didn’t actually watch the video. Who’s the shill?
Edit: And your upvotes couldn’t have watched the video either. Again, who’s the shills?

I didn’t watch it either. write an essay if you feel its so thought provoking and post that. Like the other guy im not giving this views.
Why? So, you can refuse to read that for…, reasons? Stay uninformed.
cut the bullshit. this is clickbait expecially given your responses. You can host this on a non commercial platform but you didn’t.

Incorrect usage. Here’s a video that explains why, that you probably won’t watch.

But it uses the paradox correctly.

Thanks for the discussion. It really helps push this post further up the algorithm.
