Correct. I commented on the title, not the contents, none of which will be surprising, by the way. He's not making it up on the guys, he's just rehashing stuff others have said in the past. Relax. And even if he makes two or three good points somewhere in there, it would not redeem the title.
at least look at what he has to offer for you to look at before dismissing it out of hand.
If I'm going to spend an hour, I'd rather spend it on something that is objective, rather than a polemic.
Well, if you watched the video, like I just did, you'd know that the election that was held? To say it was rigged would be an insult to rigged elections. Soviet Russia held "elections", didn't mean it was all that redeeming.

You've spent collective hours reading Politico, NYT, WaPo, and countless hours on Twitter. Don't pretend like this is a matter of "objectivity" when your concern lays solely at not wanting to examine a topic that could shake your core if you gave it a fair go.
Lincoln was a piece of shit. You think dictator is hyperbolic? Fine, you don't have to use the word, but at the end of the day, his policies were not anti-slavery (outright protecting slavery in the states that he retained control over), nor was he some saviour. His focus was taxation at all costs, including breaching the Constitution numerous times.
Wallow in comfort if you truly need to, but know that's all it is. It's not a moral choice, it's not an intellectual choice, it's comfy, blissful ignorance. Even if you still disagreed at the end, you'd still be better off instead of dismissing it out of hand because you're uncomfortable that someone uses a word you find too harsh.

No... you don't "know" anything because you watched a Youtube video.

To refute them, mostly. And it does not cost one hour. If I'm going to spend one hour on trying to get more informed on the US civil war, of which there is little need by the way, I have better choices than some Goth lolbertarian.

I'm not Murrican, so I don't have any religious attachment to Lincoln.

So... he followed the law instead of being a dictator. That was the only correct course of action.

I'm not the least bit 'uncomfortable'. I just make judgments about the reliability of objectivity of someone based on what he says, and then use that to make judgments about whether that is worth my time.
So why are you talking to people who hold this view? Isn't that a waste of your time? Because I enjoy it.
lol, you'll collectively waste hours upon hours "debooooonking" people you'll never convince, but you'll go right ahead and virtue signal about how you didn't watch a video because it was "too long".
Which is even funnier considering it can easily be watched in the background while doing most other things. For example, I watched/listened to it while I did some housework. It wasn't hard.

lol, did you seriously make an argument after I already answered it?

I find fighting morons to be quite entertaining. Though you don't even have the base level of cleverness required to be entertaining.

I'll watch longer, but it has to be good. Sorry if you have no quality control.

And you could have listened to something of actual quality while doing the same.
