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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Way up that list before I mentioned Second Thought I also mentioned the Fat Electrician, whom, if you haven't seen his work, is staunchly, aggressively, anti-communist.
Do those that you've come up with or currently surround yourself with completely lose their critical thinking once video starts playing?
Idk what to tell you man, you jump to a shitton of conclusions. Wearing pink doesn't make me gay
When I see a sign in another language I don't think it's talking about me.
Take care of yourself, I guess, if you want, either way, I'm done here.
