They're going after facts and topics now. I don't know how Patrick Bacon could've changed this quote more without it sounding retarded or long winded. Most of the similar language is technical language.
"In the U.S., because the interest rate is fixed, homeowners get to lock in their monthly loan payments for 30 years, even if inflation or interest rates rise. On top of that, because most U.S. mortgages can be paid off early with no penalty, homeowners can refinance at a lower interest rate if rates decline."
Well, unfortunately it sounded familiar to me because it's lifted nearly verbatim from this New York Times article titled "A 30-Year Trap: The Problem With America’s Weird Mortgages." Here's the line:
"Because the interest rate is fixed, homeowners get to freeze their monthly loan payments for as much as three decades, even if inflation picks up or interest rates rise. But because most U.S. mortgages can be paid off early with no penalty, homeowners can simply refinance if rates go down."
That's interesting... IH is at superstar level on Youtube though, so I doubt those people even amount to 5% of his audience.
Yeah, but for a while after the video came out, and probably going forward for a while on, every video had its comment section filled with "When are you going to admit to plagiarizing, I bet you stole this too!" on top of the probably same spam on Twitter.
Its not about convincing Hbomber's audience. Its about sending them out to repeat the lie enough times that it becomes true to an unsuspecting normie who sees the dogpile everywhere. A literal classic example of "cancel culture" in action.
