  1. Oh so colonists didn't force their colonies to take on excessive debt before leaving? That never happened?

  2. "Well I mean there are two very large elephants in the room here that you never addressed, the Bill Gates foundation and the World Economic Forum" You mean those other right-wing groups that pursue right-wing policies and appeal to right-wing governments? That's literally what the video is about, how can you say it wasn't addressed?

  3. Oh Shapiro is absolutely a fascist, though. Previously he's explicitly demanded a genocide.

  4. It's like saying "I don't hate gay people, I just don't believe they are the sexuality they claim to be"

  7.  @Viral9  "but activists have demonized therapy" I'm pretty sure the therapists did that by utilising what is officially recognised as torture instead of therapy.

  8.  @apothe0sis  ""defined" by other pseudo concepts. Aka not defined at all" The fact is, you're unable to offer a more consistent or coherent definition for any of these terms. You can't meet the standards you impose on others. Prove me wrong.

  9.  @OjoRojo40  Sure, here are some claims that you don't actually believe: "The main purpose of your video is to sell us "Surfshark"" "When TV channels (even the public ones) make an add placement for Coca-Cola or Hasbro in the middle of a show, who's in charge of the show? The capital behind it" "It's a pity because your argument loses so much power against Harris" These are nonsensical and I do not accept that you made these claims in good faith. Do you see now how assuming dishonesty from the outset looks? The truth is that there are huge differences between sponsored content and what is being referred to in this video. And in the wider world, advertisements often go out without any communication between the brand and the platform whatsoever. The banner ads you see on news sites? Usually all handled by a third party. All I'm saying is that there really is a big difference here.

  12.  @collincrawford780  It absolutely does not go a long way. Look at living standards in those countries. Rock bottom, with informal housing not connected to water or electricity, no healthcare, no access to education, short lifespan... That's not poverty to you? What, because they can buy enough beans or rice to survive the week they're not in poverty?

  13. "Gender (man/woman) is binary, biological & immutable" Cool story Chris, you should be able to tell me what that is, then? What's the biological component of gender? Where is it located? Chris? Why can't you answer Chris?

  14. "Are you aware of the Cass report which declared affirmation therapy as practised by the Tavistock as unsafe" This is a lie. Cass herself commended those who worked in Tavistock and recommends the therapy be rolled out across the country.

  16.  @cjane_world  " Don't you think that both sides use propaganda heavily" No, one side uses propaganda and the other side is asking to be allowed to stay alive. " I'm not falling for either side, because they're both nuts. " Yep, you're on Walsh's side. No difference between you. "Everyone should live their lives the way they want to and leave me alone 👍" I have no time for this level of cowardice.

  17.  @cjane_world  No, this is a lie. The police routinely assault and harass trans people, especially in the USA. Trans people are being legistlated out of existence, and that you're unaware of this means that you've fallen for the propaganda.

  22. If you think cars and space travel represent "hope" then you seriously need to rethink your priorities. Our planet cannot sustain this. A future with even more cars isn't hopeful, it is dystopia. Additionally car accidents are not one of humanity's greatest killers. Millions of people are starving to death every year. Don't chat shit about factual errors if you're this uninformed.

  24. If you think being trans is a mental or physical problem, you don't actually accept trans adults, do you? And if you want to force trans children to pretend to be cis, isn't that going to harm them?

  25. "the private sector whose profit generation and taxation pay for all the things we want; schools hospitals, prisons, welfare, social housing etc" Weird how the private sector got richer while all of those things got worse then, isn't it? Isn't that weird? Weird that you can't explain that too. Weird that you won't even try. Weird. "went all socialist in the pandemic" lmaoooo " the most useless opposition ever into government with massive spending plans and no plan to increase the country's wealth is utterly bonkers." Labour have no discernable difference from the Tories, they literally do not have massive spending plans. "Stimulate the economy. That's where money is generated" No, money is issued by the state.

  26. "And then economics and business will do their thing to correct their evil ways." Writing this in 2022 after 'economics and business' collectively decided to simply cull the population is a special kind of sad

  29.  @ArthurAugustyn  If there are hundreds or thousands of conservatives defending Christopher Columbus, then it is not one example. It is many examples.

  30. ​ @ArthurAugustyn  If it was a lazy argument it would take very little effort for you to provide a counter-argument, no? Instead you shift the goalposts. "Oh that's just one example. I demand more." "Oh your logic is too simple for my massive brain, please come up with something more complex". You'll focus on anything and everything to avoid the fact that there is a trend for conservatives to defend the indefensible, to make heroes out of monsters. That's why people like Colombus or Churchill are valorised. Oh! Look! I slid another example in there! What, two examples is still insufficient? What arbitrary number must I reach before you will deign to actually address the topic at hand?

  31. Regardless of what either side says about the other, we can see if authoritarianism is present by checking for it. All of the police oppression, the murders, the terrorist attacks and attempts to kidnap or assassinate political figures are coming from one side.

  32.  @Xairos84  You sound old so I'll type slowly, try and keep up yeah? " income on YouTube is non-existent and works essentially the same as the stock market: you create something that works for you in perpetuity all while earning revenue along the way" Absolutely false. You made that up. You have no idea how money on youtube is earned. It's not remotely like the stock market. "If a person really wanted to properly critique a system they were forced to use, they would advocate for some adjustments, they wouldn't just slam it wholesale" Prove this claim. Show me why it's true. "Here ya go: "I'm a content creator and my income threshold is 50k a year, anything beyond that goes back to the people. Take that capitalism" that is wild." You have no idea what a youtube creator earns and what they spend their money on. "Under his framework, he could make millions, buy a mansion and just tout the tired phrase "capitalism sucks, but like favorite and subscribe so I can pay my bills uwu" and you'd lap it up...." So like, did you think you could just invent a scenario in your head and nobody would notice? Because I noticed. What you described isn't the reality. He hasn't done this. So why are you bringing it up? You call others lazy, yet you've done absolutely zero work here. Worse, anybody who does do the work earns your derision. I think I can safely say what's really happening here.

  33.  @Xairos84  "wow you didn't engage with anything I said" Oh I did, you're just ignoring it. An implicit concession if there was one. " if they get a surge of views on something they created 10 years ago, they still get paid" This doesn't actually happen, though. Again, you're forced to make things up that aren't happening to pretend like you have a point. "My attempt was to offer a way to use capitalism to make profit but give back to the proletariat worker class" Oh for sure, because that's going to made an unsustainable economic system suddenly start working Wow 200 years and nobody ever thought of that one! "I'll be charitable here. Study a bit of economics and how the problems with capitalism isn't just "big corporations bad" and try again." Here's the thing: I've never actually said that. Once again, you feel compelled to just lie and lie about what other people are saying. Why? Because you don't dare engage with anything real. You can't.

  34.  @Xairos84  "These lies you think I'm spouting come from you jumping into a convo you had no initial part of." lol no dude, they come from you. You said those things. To me. "you better come with some actionable steps to make it better" We're under no such obligation. I don't need to be a doctor to report sickness. I don't need to be a chef to understand that food tastes bad. People can talk about problems without offering solutions if they feel like it. There are, in fact, reasons why people might want to focus on the problems and not the solutions. As the comment section here demonstrates, many people deny that there is a problem at all! "How in the world can you jump into a convo, say "well I didn't say those things" and tout yourself as an engaged person as if I am talking about your character?" How in the world do you think you can get away with being so condecending towards a younger person when your own grasp of the facts is weak as it is? I'm only here because you got all haughty when a younger person corrected you.

  42.  @joetheperformer  "However, left wing politics is largely responsible for the Venezuelan humanitarian crisis. The left can go too far." You can't just point to a random country that elected a socialist party into power and claim "the left" is responsible for the ills in said nation. There is ONE nation south of Texas that hasn't been invaded or otherwise destabalised by the USA. (It's Chile, and only because the USA helped put a fascist into power. If a right-wing country blockades a smaller one and people start dying as a result (for example), is the fault of the left for angering the USA? Or the fault of the right for sabotaging smaller countries? What I'm getting at here is that the USA has way more influence, and therefore should take way more blame for what it does in the world. "People should protest against neo-nazis. That’s ingrained into us the moment we attend grade school" Uh well actually the media/police try their best to make those who protest against nazis seem like the bad guys, so idk where you got that idea The police even stand back to allow neo-nazis to attack protestors unprovoked, let's not pretend its the left going "too far" here. "You presented the weakest arguments you can throw at a genuine criticism." Refute them, if they are so weak. "All I am saying is, the cancel culture is inherently left-wing" All I'm saying is that the right-wing is equally eager to 'cancel' people, but because it has institutional power behind it those people simply die, instead of getting bullied on twitter. "Also, Have you read her actual 4000-word blog post that got her heat from Twitter? It’s not that radical. She merely supported someone who lost their job for believing in biological sex characteristics" This didn't happen. Don't believe her, she is lying. Because she hates trans people. She stopped trying to hide it a while ago.

You realise it has been literally days since they attacked random people in an organised group right And only a couple of weeks before that they murdered somebody And only a couple of weeks before that they murdered somebody else I'm not saying the right wants to kill me, they are. And they're not all talk, as evidenced by all the murders they're doing.

  48.  @JT.Pilgrim  No, sorry but you cannot cite etymology as the definition. Not how English works. (Also that's not what the "trans" prefix means anyway, go look it up) "But that doesn’t make a male female or vice versa" Okay genius, what DOES make a male or female? Go on, tell me what the scientific basis for those concepts is.
