Just thought I would pop in since I occasionally backsearch myself and clear up that yes I was using the version of the phrase in that context that is more closer to "There is nuance here that requires us to inquire further to gain a more complete understanding of the subject."

Yes, there is also context where it means the same thing as circular reasoning. Yes, this is annoying. English sucks sometimes. Oh well.

That will work on less savvy leftists, but the more educated ones will just counter with intersectionality, which is why this video covers how to refute that as well.

It has been a while since I posted a meta video here. This one is pretty self explanatory.

TL;DR Leftists are intellectually dishonest in their use of Intersectional identity politics and only apply its reasoning when it suits their beliefs. Used honestly, intersectionality becomes a refutation of idpol.

I do plan to make more content on the lines of "Muh whataboutism" and "The Equity fallacy."

However it is important to explain why the content of certain extreme woke leftists is fallacious. Most political surveys show that there are in fact a lot more fence sitters than you might realize who can be swayed either way. The problem is that this type of person also tends to remain silent online, giving the appearance that they don't exist.

Russia has been trying everything they can to undermine the US Dollar. If they are serious about TGS it just may work this time.

Hey all. This is basically a video mostly geared towards refuting a lot of the bad takes of Hasan piker. HasanAbi regularly engages in racial identity politics in an extremely hypocritical manner. One thing I am hoping to get from the gamergate community by posting it here is some feedback on my section for "leftist racism" where I intended to call this kind of hypocrisy out.

Funfact: Pelosi has some of the biggest personal investments in mainstream media compared to all of congress.

This is the fourth video on a series I'm making on mainstream media propaganda. Posting it here because I do give gamergate a slight mention towards the end of the video. While it's not a direct followup to the gamergate episode ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xs69lv0UGNU ) it does detail a lot of the similar problems and corruption that goes on in most of US media that gamergate uncovered.

This is a "Sort of" followup to my video on gamergate (https://communities.win/c/KotakuInAction2/p/140cSE6P4b/debunking-wikipedias-article-on-/c ) As I had mentioned "Peer review" in the context of journalism, and I realized not everyone understands what that means since Julian Assange's vision of scientific journalism is a subject on improving journalistic integrity that is rarely discussed.

TL;DR for those who don't want to watch it:

Scientific Journalism is a proposal by Julian Assange to drastically improve the standards, ethics, and overall quality of journalism by encouraging the use of primary sources being publicly available alongside news editorials. It is the basic concept behind what drives Wikileaks, and can be summarized in Assange's words: “Journalism should be more like science, As far as possible, facts should be verifiable.” By having research data behind an editorial available, readers can be assured that they are not reading propaganda as they can check and verify anything they do not agree with.

Yep. I'm a relatively new content creator and fortunately hit the amount of subs needed last month to qualify for automatic Odysee backup. So Odysee auto reuploads my stuff to their platform now which is pretty sweet. Not much people watch odysee yet so view counts are low, but it's good to at least have.

Thanks, it's hard to strike a balance between people who know a lot about GG, people who are basically normies and don't know spit, and people who know "less than nothing". IE those who have drank the MSM koolaid and now think they are some kind of legendary crusader against the hordes of evil misogynist gaters, when of course in reality they are just pawns in a game they don't understand.

I added some chapters so people who already know a lot can skip to whatever interests them.

Hey there! Some people may remember me from a month or so ago while I mentioned the possibility of making a 20 minute shindig on Gamergate and Wikipedia. Hopefully this helps people in the quest to stop the spread of misinformation and propaganda being pushed by the MSM, especially in regards to this heavily slandered movement.

Thanks to the people on KIA who helped me with sources on this.

This video is basically a 20 minute effortpost on the flaws of Wikipedia, largely by going over the Gamergate article and exposing why it's completely nonsensical.

I was working on other things and then saw this interview and just had to do a refutation of it. Really shows why youtube hid the dislike button.

The most interesting thing I find about r/politics is not so much their left leaning nature, but their complete lack of self awareness of this. If you go to a rightwing political board, lets just say thedonald, and tell them that they are a rightwing biased board, they will be like "Yes, and?". But if you tell r/politics that they are left-biased they will completely flip out in denial. It's surreal.

The basic crux of their fallacy is that they think individual choices should average out to the group, and thus inequity between individuals should go away when we take it to the group level. This of course doesn't happen because groups don't share values. But in leftoid crazy land they think this shouldn't matter.
