@Zoulstorm Left wing stuff, I'm from the old youtube days, it's been very apparent since 2017 that left wing content is pushed in the algorithms, they have got better about pushing it on people that are consistently not interested like myself but it is annoying to scroll through find a topic that is interesting and then realise that the person is coming from a very firm ideological perspective that they have not really analysed. It is not hard to know everything they will say because if you know a bit about the respective ideologies you will know exactly what they will take issue with and why.
Academic leftists, especially traditional ones like Marxists (who I am personally very hostile to) are so much better on this as they will not just give a rout ideological response but will think about how his assumptions are wrong and try to explain it, they will also be aware of disagreements and a diversity of perspectives within their own canon. Sowell is interesting as he is a fairly accessibly explanatory tool for understanding libertarianism on its own terms, but I wouldn't recommend listening to libertarians as they are notoriously ideological and apply it like a maths equation, Sowell and their other thinkers can have bad logic but it's rarely blind application.
My main frustration is just that the discourse on youtube is much diminished from former days, and many young people are imbibing simplistic and harmful modes of thought, especially in regards to social atomisation and philosophical nihilism, which both sides of this particular debate are culpable for.
