  1. Disagreement does not equal hate. I don't agree with people deliberately trying to insult you, but I also don't agree with how you frame this talk and these discussions. It comes across that people are bad (and by extension wrong in their other beliefs) not just for insults, but even for harsh criticism. The emphasis seems to mainly be about what they said, and not a rational argument of something more substantive.

  2. 6:34 "worst aspects of liberalism" That is a criticism. You can't just say that everything said that is negative is an insult, otherwise nobody could criticize. 7:11 "Talentless propaganda hack" is 50/50. Talentless is an insult and propaganda hack is criticism.

  3. Lorenzo I didn't say it was constructive or objective. Most people have a bias of some sort.
