          You don’t have to agree with everything you see my dude. In fact, I would hope you don’t.

            There’s a difference between watching content you don’t agree with and giving views (and thereby ad revenue) to propagandists.

            I don’t know about you, but I’d rather not spend my limited time alive on listening to people who are intellectually and morally bankrupt.

              In my eyes, suppressing knowledge, or advocating it, is morally bankrupt.

              If you have a better argument, you engage in the conversation, you don’t end the conversation and make sure no one else can talk about it again.

              You shouldn’t even try to dissuade people from watching it, you should want the people around you to be better educated, I would think. Idk, man, I want my wife to stay with me cuz she chooses too, not because I’ve lied to her about every other man in the world, or destroyed her self confidence so she thinks she can’t do better.

              To be clear, that’s abuse. All of that.

              Looking around, imma go ahead and say capitalism, in any flavor it’s being expressed in this world, isn’t living up to its promises. From what I can tell, that puts me with 95% of everyone else.

              Do I think communism is the answer? No. I think capitalism is fine for grand pianos, not Grandma’s pills.

              After WW2 the post war economies settled on social democracy as the compromise between the two. I think we need to get back to that, and designate areas of the economy fundamental and forbidding people from profit or rent seeking practices. Education, medicine, emergency services, community development. Essentially if it’s something the government offers or necessitates, then it’s already paid for in taxes, that goes for permits, passports, licensing, reviews, All of it. I think that because it’s obvious the relationship between elected officials and civil servents to the population needs repairing, drastic change. The only positive change I can fathom is simplifying for the end user (one tax) and open-transparency.

              I’m willing to entertain arguments against, I don’t claim or think to know everything. In fact, everything Im right about now I can guarantee I was wrong about before.

                In my eyes, suppressing knowledge, or advocating it, is morally bankrupt.

                Claiming I’m advocating the suppression of knowledge is a bold claim. I’m informing you (and anyone reading this thread) about their heavily skewed view of the world as a caution. You can always choose to not take my advice.

                Also, claiming people are trying to suppress you simply because they shared their opinion is rather disingenuous. I have made a single personal attack on you, I’ve only criticized the informational valye of the channel you recommended, assuming that you were simply unaware of its issues.

                You shouldn’t even try to dissuade people from watching it, you should want the people around you to be better educated

                It’s weird you’re using this argument when the channel in question has a video called “Alternatives to Capitalism” that is just a 15 minute rant on why capitalism is bad and spends no time actually discussing potential alternatives to capitalism.

                I’m willing to entertain arguments against, I don’t claim or think to know everything. In fact, everything Im right about now I can guarantee I was wrong about before.

                Given how you immediately resorted to a “reducto ad absurdum” argument makes me highly suspicious of your willingness to entertain differing arguments. In fact, it’s concerningly similar to the debate strategy of Second Thought and tankues in general.

                Please keep trying to broaden your horizons, particularly to more moderate sources. You’re sounding like you’re falling into an echo chamber

                  You’ve cherry picked parts of my argument and disregarded the meat, the heart of it that carried my point.

                  In other words, you either found contention too soon and disregarded the rest of youre intentionally being obtuse and arguing circularly as if one of us can win here.

                  The opening line was a statement, not an attack. The "you " in the second line is generic, not directed. If I’m not directing at you, why would I feel personally attacked? Cuz I don’t. C’mon man.

                  Try again bro.

                    You’ve cherry picked parts of my argument and disregarded the meat, the heart of it that carried my point.

                    Your entire argument was (and should) be disregarded when you immediately resort to calling me morally bankrupt by your reducto ad adsurdum argument about your wife, which I actually did address if you read properly.

                    The opening line was a statement, not an attack. The "you " in the second line is generic, not directed. If I’m not directing at you, why would I feel personally attacked?

                    If you truly believe that any reasonable person wouldn’t take that as a personal attack then you need to brush up on your English skills.

                    Like I suggested for, you’re stacking up to be exactly what I would expect a fan of Second Thought to be like, and that’s not a compliment. I offered you a chance to help you dig yourself out of a tankie echo chamber, but if you want to mire yourself in that then by all means go ahead.
