The new video is live. Much improved from the rough cut, I think. I really must learn to make these things shorter. Anyway, tell all your friends, see if you can spot the changes, I'ma go look at something that isn't a screen for a hot minute.

Cheers,

Brilliant! Enjoy the screen break. :)

Awesome as usual. Can't wait to see what you do next.

Thanks for making this, this makes so much make more sense. I do think you should re-iterate what you mean, when you say "the right", though. Some of the people, who are reacting aggressively/dismissively in the comments, are doing so because they feel that you're putting everyone voting for the conservatives in the same group as those you call "the right". At least, I think that's what's going on. It's kind of hard to follow the political part of this as someone from outside of USA.

Video length doesn't matter as long as the points are made clear.

The added text at the end of the West Wing scene had me D E A D Great vid as always. Thanks!

This really puts a pin on why re-tweeting the alt-right in some righteous act of shaming or call out doesn't seem to stop. They will never be the woman in the green coat from that West Wing clip. You will never be the mighty straw that toppled the regime, this isn't something we "win", it's just something we work at.

Heteroscedasticity

I'm sort of split on this video. On the one hand, I feel like you're spot on - never play defence and the styles of argument you bring up really fits my experience arguing with the alt-right. And so the explanation that those who are alt-right are so partly because of some filtering process where people who are more inclined to view who won the debate with their lizard-brain are more likely to become alt-right. On the other hand, I think you gloss over the part where "this is how teenagers argue". So are you saying people become alt-right because they are, more or less, dumb? But at the same time you're framing it as if this style of arguing is a tactic? I don't get it, but I interpret it as mostly the tactics one? An alternative explanation is that most people argue like this (not just teenagers) when they're emotionally invested in the conclusions and are making false statements. Like if you were to choose something that people on the left was wrong about, but which is important to them, they would also avoid processing the topic deeper by shifting the topic to new accusations. And I think left-leaning onlookers would roll their eyes at the neckbeard redditor supposedly "correcting" them, and their lizard brain would read the situation as "our side is winning cause they're playing defence". I don't know if this alternative explanation (which is that it's something like built-in flaws in human psychology on both sides rather than a tactic) is more true that the tactic perspective. There's probably merits to both. But what worries me is, how would I know? I can't go on experience. I'm not saying this to defend the alt-right, obviously. But it's important not to misdiagnose the problem.

As always, great video - just a question though, and this might be a "spoiler" for your ongoing series, but are you going to go on and lay out methods to actually deal with alt-right individuals? What do you think are the right methods with which to interact with these people?
