So Sean Hannity thinks it's "offensive" and "wrong" that Barack Obama said American troops killed civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan.

And yet people seem to think that neoconservatives are the "politically incorrect" party. Yet here's one of the most prominent and popular neocon pundits clutching his pearls and needing a safe space from someone stating a confirmed fact.

So where are you, free speech warriors? Where's Ben Shapiro and his fans, and all their rhetoric of "facts over feelings?" What about Jordan Peterson, or Dave Rubin, or Steven Crowder? And all their supporters? Why are you not all in a frenzy about how Hannity is a triggered little snowflake? You're silent. I'm listening real damn hard and I can't hear y'all.

Damn straight.

Right-wing youtube is so far up itself that its ridiculous. It literally creates and alternate reality in order to frame and then 'win' its arguments. None of these people really engage with left-wing arguments as they stand, just the flakiest of flaky straw-man inventions. I've never actually met a post-modern neo-Marxist but apparently; they control every corporate HR department, every social science lecture hall, the media and so on. Perhaps I'm wrong though and maybe David Graeber has the same political views as Mark Zuckerberg and those trans-gernder activists are the same as Stalin. Like Crowder's Ted Cruz frat-boy nephew persona, it's all an attempt to make supporting the vested interests of wealth and power look cool and edgy somehow to white middle-class outsiders who never read books.

@Burnley123 Alternate reality is a good way to describe it. Even the words have different definitions. It's like a voluntary re-education.

Have you ever seen the Contrapoints video on Jordan Peterson? One of my favorite things on youtube. Well that whole channel.

@CountScrofula Yeah man. Its great. I think I recommended it to you actually. A lot of her videos are great but she has gone a bit niche recently.

@Burnley123 Yeah, I love it but I feel like I need more than a my single intro philosophy course.

@CountScrofula She is really great and a fantastic human being too. I studied a bit of post-modernism at uni and thought it was pretentious BS. Postmodernist academics always understood themselves as intellectual adversaries of Marx.

I think Contra has the best channel on Youtube. Secular Talk and Minority report are sometimes good but Youtube is largely dominated by right-wing cultural warriors. They are well funded too. Minority Report outed that Ruben is funded by the Koch brothers. He refuses to debate them because he likes free-speech so much...
