1:28:39 - What are you doing, man? DM literally sets out the terms in her video, and you decide to skip that so you can tell us what _Reddit_ thinks she's talking about? Part of her video literally has her discuss how the term "anti-electoralism" has been watered down and mangled to about the same degree as "woke", but if that's what people want to call her, then at least she can formally coin her own definition for it. Coming here fresh from watching the DM video, just to make sure I understand both sides of this, and somehow _you're_ the one making me look at you crossways. What is even.
@@westsidetyler Thinking about it, is the rationale here that taking DM at her word on what the term means is too close to, say, taking Ben Shapiro at his word on what any number of terms mean? I'm stressing a lot over the last couple weeks of world events, not gonna lie.
How is Vaush able to state a tautology and still br wrong. "Straight women dont like men." Like, no. That's definitionally wrong. If a woman is straight, she by definition of being straight is attracted to men.
I feel conflicted because as a guy, I dont understand why women like dudes either. 😂 But at the same time, to argue that women are attracted to the implications of their physique and not their physique itself is basically arguing that women are gold diggers. This is your brain on "male feminism".
i really dislike when vaush goes on about fashion because he talks about it like he is THE god king of fashion and theres 0 subjectivity to the matter. he thinks of himself as such a Men's Fashion Connoisseur™ and watching him talk about it is hellish for anyone who dresses alternatively or thinks that theres more than one correct way to dress and look good. i can appreciate the autistic vigor but he always just sounds like an asshole. for someone so integrated in the online deranged lefty sphere i fear he would have an aneurism if he saw me with the 2 gauge septum and tripp pants
I see the merits of the argumentation at a glance, but folks were beaten by cops, lynched by mobs, sprayed by water cannons, and had dogs sicced on them in their best clothes. It veers kind of close to respectability politics and those don't actually benefit people. From the unkempt homeless fella to the well-dressed immigrant, people aren't gonna like you if they don't like you. One's dress and demeanor are just protected paths of criticism that don't really stand up to scrutiny. Like, you do the blood sports™ thing. I can't imagine someone deconstructing a solid line of argumentation on the grounds it was impolite.
I swear, never once has Tyler's editors actually placed images when he's said "My editors will/are probably placing the evidence here," in any of the videos I've seen. I don't expect Tyler to rewatch hour+ long videos of himself to track this, but it's genuinely annoying as a viewing experience to never see the promised additional images. I do video editing, I know this shit isn't fucking hard. I wonder if he's aware that it's never added.
@westsidetyler I've watched at least 70 videos from your channel, mostly the more recent stuff (I was surprised it was that many, but I decided to stop continuing beyond that point). I say this to give a sample size. Any time that explicit reference has been about editors adding context, it's always been absent. It's been especially notable with the Lorelodge stuff.
You can wear whatever you want, but if you want to convince people of your cause, you need to dress to convince. First impression is very important. It’s hard to gain respect dressed as a clown.
Dude would have had to be a complete idiot to keep going down that road. He is 98% bigger than you, doing anything but ignoring you would be crazy and just invite a Streisand effect. Unless the accusation has serious criminal repercussions, it's stupid to give attention to a small creator going after you. ESPECIALLY if that small creator is 100% right like you are.
LOL, I work as an editor for pop culture news content that can barely be called journalism and we STILL have to cite the shit out of every source, so the fact that LL tried to argue with his full chest that historians don't do citations was WILD. Obviously creators don't want to be known as plagiarists and when people take it to the LL/James Somerton level of plagiarism there's kind of no saving it, but it's actually FINE to have someone point out that you didn't cite something and just say "oh my bad" and fix it. Realistically, everyone is going to repeat some information and not realize that they're doing it or not realize that they need to source it, which is exactly why actual professionals have at least one other pair of eyes to look over something and say "hey where are you getting this from" before you put it out into the world and present it like these are your own ideas. Also, clearly a lot of people don't scrutinize what they're watching on RU-vid or what they're consuming as content in general, but when you do scrutinize a lot of content, the actual value of citations becomes a lot more obvious because frankly, a lot of people, even those who present themselves as experts, don't necessarily understand what they're drawing their own content from and actually misrepresent or misinterpret their sources. But obviously if they don't cite their sources, the people consuming their content have no idea and can't actually check that for themselves even if they want to. It can happen completely unmaliciously too, I can't even count how many times I've had to send something back to a writer because oh oops, you cited a secondary source that actually misunderstood a primary source and made assumptions or extrapolated information based on that misunderstanding which you're now reiterating or worse, interpreting yourself even though the fundamental information you're basing your opinion on is incorrect. Learning to cite properly isn't just valuable because people deserve credit for their work, it also very unironically makes anyone much better at differentiating good sources from bad ones or figuring out that you're literally using bad facts (because shocker, plenty of people who don't know how to cite don't know how to research either and therefore are way more likely to repeat something that has no reliable primary source but has been repeated a million times over by other people who just heard it and regurgitated it too). Cannot believe that LL's sidekick shouted out channels like Wendover Productions as their reasoning behind not citing sources either, because holy shit those videos are like an hour straight of stated facts and super specific numbers and statistics and you're telling me that they don't explain where ANY of that is coming from?! Like... I'm glad he outed them but also, Jesus Christ.
Dude. Thank you. This crew looks like they're heading to comic con, not doing political canvasing. I think optics from an aesthetics point of view is undervalued in leftist circles.
As much as i hate to admit it, I feel bad for Shad. He failed at drawing, gave up and turned to writing, but also failed just as bad here. He's already using AI for art, might as well use it for stories.
Kind of reminds me of how Amelia Bloomer gradually stopped wearing trousers (or Bloomers) because she just found them to be distracting from her suffrage arguments.
"these weridos dressed like people are going to go out into the world and talk to other random weirdo people?" love ya T but something about this video just misses the mark on some level. Wonder if there has been any study on this. If you had a goofynerd like Vaush walk up and ask you questions about politics would you be more open to him rather than a guy dressing "professional" Im not really sure to be honest. Something feels "off" about this analysis. Not to mention as time progresses fashion idk changes? 50 years ago every white male dressed "professionally" and then america didnt suck as much now we wear pretty much whatever we want. Its going to continue to change until the end of time.
I am very glad that I am not the only one who thinks these new pictures of Vaush looks weird/not good in these outfits. Hearing his fashion takes after seeing that outfit almost makes me lose faith in humanity.
In the talk about worker rights - as far as I know, the true beginning of worker rights is rooted in French puritanism. Or British puritanism? I dunno. But basically the first labor regulations came from some bougie seeing how miners work - how men and women work together, and it’s so hot in the mine that men and women would get undressed to work, and that’s not God’s way, men looking at women naked that aren’t their wives. So labor regulations were passed where the women were replaced by horses or something like that.
I think he states it pretty clearly around the 13 minute mark. If you want to be an effective face of a movement, you have to look the part in order to get people to actually listen to what you have to say. You not only have to be credible, you have to look like it, and dressing more professionally does that.
@@khalidpatterson1422They are canvasing for votes, any ideas and political position needs to be drilled down to perfection before. You need to be presentabel to the general public to the degree that no one negatively effects the cause they are canvasing for.
@khalidpatterson1422 okay but you realize that no matter how good your ideas sound, first impression bias still exists and people won't give you time out of their day to voice those ideas if based on their visual assessment, you don't look like someone worth listening to on the subject. You can have a perfect sales pitch, but if your looks are preventing you from getting your foot in the door, it's damn near useless. You're saying we should remain ineffective in one way and improve this other way, when changing presentation is an extremely easy thing to do to yield better results, and we can still do the other things while looking more presentable to a wider audience
Tyler, I'm Spanish and I can guarantee you, you can say the DARNEDEST things here and go on your way without a hitch. We have exxxxxxtreme right people here who openly and routinely say the MOST horrible things and free speech covers everything they say.
Watching DM's community make excuses was entertaining. It reminded me of what I used to do before I realized how far into the bad take hole Vaush was digging.
