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...
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.
So the title made me initially not want to watch and then the video itself told me its not meant for me in the first minute or so. So anyway I find a lot of his arguments are not as problematic when proper laws keeping money out of politics, which is now impossible in the US given the citizens united ruling. Well impossible till congress acts to correct the judicial mistake (and it is such a massive mistake given how much the constitution emphasizes power is reserved ultimately for the people)
Thanks for taking the time, even if you don’t agree with their politics. It is important to find common ground, if possible, with differing points of view. There is a way through this, but only if we work together, despite political differences. It can happen.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !keepwriting@lemmy.world
it is although my preferences remain. What it comes down to is if video is what your sending then expect people to watch or not to watch based on what they glean from text. ie - title and description. Ain’t no one got time to watch every video they come across. Well except my wife. What! dear! no I was not talking about you.
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 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.

You gave an old man hope today. Thanks.

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.
