Do you guys think he's going to come out as a tranny too

>>12930377
he clearly enjoys the cybercatcalling he gets from his female and gay viewers so probably not

>>12930370
What is wrong with these people? Without the pomp and pageantry this video would have been no longer than 5 minutes. Same goes for Contrapoints' videos; boiler-plates takes dressed in drag.

I hate these new leftist Youtubers so much. They attract viewers due to their aesthetics,and high production value, but the actual content of their videos are shit.

>Peterson doesn't understand Post-modernism video number 128912819281982

Yes, he's right but who fucking cares.

>>12930370
mental ill dress-up faggot

>>12930370
imagine copying contrapoints of all people

>40 mins of an eceleb dressed up as Satan talking about Jordan Peterson
Why do I still come to this shithole board

I'm fairly apolitical, but I just love witnessing the activity of communities so much. To read that comment section, all the souls there and the witty, sassy quips they're all leaving there, each one building on the jokes left by the previous commenter - is it not wonderful to be alive? To be in this world, with my fellow intelligent beings, and to share such light-hearted fun with each other? Memes, puns, quips, parodies - I love it all so much. The same applies elsewhere, like on Twitter - I love the communities created by these platforms, and the Collective Soul which all of us enter into when we access them. I love you guys. Let's all be silly together and revel in this dream we call "existence" :)

(sorry for the cringe post, i'm just trying to share my personal sentiments and they happen to be quite goo-ey in this case)

>>12930654
you fill my soul with hate

>>12930654
Just remember that these memes are conscious entities with their own will to survive and no care for their hosts.

I'll watch Contra, Cuck Philosophy and even fucking Peter Coffin if I'm bored but this fag I will never watch because of his stupid punchable face

Wasn't this the guy who said that the left is made of "communities of vulnerability" and that classical liberals of the XVIIIth century were fascists in denial?

>>12930370
Jordan Peterson gets OWNED with FACTS and LOGIC

>>12930689
>Peter Coffin

>>12930764
blessed dog with taste

>>12930638
When did I say anything like that?
I said the content of their videos are generally shit.

>>12930377
I think he's going to come out as a groomer

Why is that guy dressed like a gay cockatoo?

>>12930638
I'm not though. I am mad however at shoddy artistry.

Olly's whole "I'm bisexual and also feminine and also pageantry" shtick really rubs me the wrong way. I love his earlier content, his newer stuff feels cringe/tryhard, even if he's right.

This guy is such a boring, unnecessary, poor man's ContraPoints.

>>12930515
they want to make entertaining videos. Not everybody is willing to watch videos of some schlub droning into a camera

>>12930924
The depth of the video's subject matter does not necessitate its length. It would've been more entertaining if it were shorter.

>>12930921
Yes, but at least he's not an abominable tranny

>>12931010
Contra is cute, you fucking queer.

>>12930908
He has a severe case of "theater kid"

>>12930677

Can I get a quick rundown? I can't listen to this faggot.

>>12931018
>Contra is cu-
Nope.

>>12930370
Just started watching this guy. Honestly not impressed. I don't think he understands the other side, so he just throws a bunch of disorganized ideas out there, all with different methodologies and different levels of intellectual rigor, all just to reach an apriori conclusion. Why did he add that section about hedonism at the end? He wanted to show that relativism doesn't lead to complete lack of morals ("pussy worship"he called it) and then undercuts that entire argument by talking about coming off of MDMA. He did this because he's not really appealing to Peterson fans, but to amoral overeducated leftists who think like him. Actual leftists should not use the arguments he gives, if their goal is to persuade. Contra and cuck are far superior left vloggers

>>12931045
His aim is pageantry and circus antics, not carefully reasoned arguments. You draw someone in first. Then you convince them. Entire libraries are devoted to convincing new leftists. Someone has to draw them in

>>12930689
Cuck is in my opinion the best youtuber for infotainment. With him I always learn something and actually remember what I was watching. I have ADHD so the more distraction there is in a video the less I get out of it

>>12931042
Literally an 8/10.

>>12931071
what the fuck?

The problem with both him and Cuck Philosophy is that underlying all their seemingly logical conclusions is still a basic appeal to emotion, which may be regarded as the fundamental mentality of a leftists - no matter how educated, they're still just complex versions of pearl-clutching soccer moms screaming at things that feel yucky. Just watch 10 minutes of Cuck and you'll realise that after namedropping some quotes on you his arguments always lead to the same dull place - "oh no, thing I dislike leads to uncomfy states and babies crying :((("

Never watched a Contrapoints video because men who dress and talk like women need some mental help or at least a firing squad, giving them time of the day is cruel.

>>12931088
Transphobes get out.

>>12931042
looks like a high on spice romanian town rapist that stole his grandma's wig and is loudly ranting about how he got turned into a woman for a day he'd let his friends fuck him

>>12931058
I was trying to say that this guy is bad at Pagaentry. Talking about MDMA doesn't contradict anything, but it's bad optics and breaks rapport when your attempting to give moral advice. Plus he goes a bit too in-depth for me not to assume he's trying to be serious.

(Also I disagreed with him on a few points in his analysis, which is why I referenced his inconsistency. I can't explain it all without being tedious)

Distributist went off about these establishment shilling leftie youtubers last night and it was great.

>>12931129
>implying GK Chesterton had anything worth saying in the first place

>>12931076
She's beautiful, stunning and brave (not to mention 100% genuine certified sane and normal by the APA) and if you're a self-proclaimed heterosexual man and don't find her attractive than you're a bigot.

>>12931144
He's pretty ugly desu

>>12930654
>>12930671
I love and pity you both, brothers.

>>12930370
Why are all the prominent leftist youtubers so blatantly mentally ill?
Contrapoints, Philosophy Tube, hbomberguy, etc. All of them basically use their channels as a platform to put their mental illness on display for the world.

>>12930370
That rhythm of speaking is so annoying. Every syllable is condescending.

>>12931164
I don't know what you mean - do you also share my sentiments, regarding the wonder of partaking in these virtual communities, and the love I feel towards all these other souls I see?

>>12931186
Contrapoints is NOT mentally ill. Stop mocking her!

>>12931230
Her?

>>12930654
It's not really light-hearted. We're collectively attempting to escape the terror of meaninglessness.

>watching reddit philosophy

>>12931259
but i love you guys and i love how we're all speaking to eachother and partaking in this experience of existence together

>>12930370
His worst video yet. He keeps saying false shit without sourcing it and he mixes relativism and subjectivity on purpose for his own benefit.

>>12931294
>but i love you guys

gay

>>12931315
no i'm str8 but i just feel happy to be able to speak to all of you and to experience this strangest of stories we call "life" together with you all as my frens

>>12930370
Is this supposed to be a parody of that tranny's videos? Shameless ripoff of xir shitty aesthetic.

>>12931323
>no i'm str8

damn

this video is poorly structured and overlong

wasn't that bad though

>>12931129
>PT
>shilling for the establishment

>>12931303
Probably because that's what Peterson does.

>>12931353
>this video was bad but not bad

>>12931378
Absolutely.

>>12930924
>>12930638
If you are entertained by looking at a guy in a funny costume for 40 minutes you are stupid. Aesthetics are important, but philosophy tube says so much dumb stuff. He has a bs iirc, and he either misunderstands or misrepresents simple ideas in almost every video. Look at his videos about Kant, AI, this new video or any of his older metaphysics videos, all school of life tier.

>>12931071
He was an attractive dude but as a chick its no bueno. He has a better jawline, wider shoulders, and bigger hands than me. He could've been a Chad type, but no, he fucked himself up.

>>12931378
Contrapoints and her associates (collectively referred to as "leftube" or "breadtube") frequently receive affirmation and appraisal from establishment media such as the New York Time's and Vice news. They have institutional backing. The left has been assimilated by liberalism.

>>12931088
All politics and philosophy is about emotion. Read any post-kantian philosopher and stop being a fucking brainlet.

Or watch Ben Shapiro idk

>>12931425
I've been wondering just how organic the whole lefttube phenomenon really is. The broader politcal left has the resources and organizational capacity to create something like this, and it is in line with their general strategy.

>>12931331
His speaking style is even similar.

>>12931045
What the fuck are you talking about lol. This guy may not be totally correct with some of his statements but at least he doesn't go around pretending to know what apriori means. I hate the psueds on this backwards ass board.

>>12931657
A Venn diagram representing the overlap between the communities of each "leftuber" would resemble a perfect circle.

>>12930549
Like everybody else on youtube

>>12931323
>>12931294

I love you too, poor thing.

>>12931425
Gee, philosphical/politically liberal youtubers that have aligning ideals with liberal media outlets are somewhat supported by these outlets? What's your point? Even if this was true, which I won't believe it is until you provide evidence with your claims. Not attacking you, just want to know what your point is.

>>12931378
He's like Justin Trudeau if he was a youtuber.

This dude has negative charisma

>>12931888
That would be Peter Coffin. My fucking god, do I despise him. He should be put in a fucking gulag.

And an additional dozen or so articles, op-eds, ted talks etc. The support observed here is not "somewhat".

My point:
These liberal YouTubers do not identify as such. Rather they identify as "leftist", "Maxist", "radical", etc. Unawares, they act in the interest of those they claim to be enemies of. They are exemplary of a broader phenomenon; that being the assimilation of the left by liberalism. See Bertrand de Jouvenel's high/low vs. middle.

OP, do you know you are a fucking stupid sack of shit? Do you realize you're trash?

Look at this fucking stupid thread you've made. What in this thread is related to literature or philosophy? It's a fucking YouTube thread. This thread is off topic and only encourages shitposters.

Do you know that I hate you, OP, and everyone who posts in this thread? Do you know that I wish all of you were dead? Because I do. Fucking garbage.

>>12931926
But they aren't actual radicals. Contra literally said revolution is wrong and her politics are at best soc-dem. Don't think the ruling class will actually support the left. This is about the same shit as Kautsky who was a Marxist but thought reforming capitalism is possible(lol).

>>12931998
>But they aren't actual radicals
That's my point. Contrapoints and her ilk are the left's closest analogy to an "actual" radical, and its as close as they'll ever get. Did you honestly think Power would allow actual radicals to exist? If it did, it wouldn't really be Power, wouldn't it? Again, see Bertrand de Jouvenel's high/low vs. middle.

>>12930689
imo only cuck philosophy has good content.
Contra point's video on jordan was a huge pile of meme garbage with little to no arguement aside from "your ideas dont want to defend the trans people that are most vulnerable people in this society" and spends 3/4s of the video making shitty youtuber jokes. Jordan memerson is already enough garbage on its own but this people that cherry pick a little 3 second quote and make a 20 min video on it arent any better.

>>12931930
Cringe

ho shit I thought you fuckers were just making fun of the guy but his youtube is actually called cuck philosophy what the fuck.

>>12930397
I love the moment where it zooms out and he just has a dough tummy (which is ok - I have one too) - compared to all the paintings of Lucifer from Paradise lost where Lucifer is ripped, it just came across really funny to me.

>>12932091
