I’ve been called a tanky, neolib, fascist, radfem, misogynist, racist, “woke”, republican, Democrat, religious nutjob, and militant athiest over my time on Reddit and I wouldn’t really agree with any of those descriptors lol. People just assume that if you have an even remotely nuanced opinion on a topic then you must belong to the “other side”. I don’t really care most of the time. I know what I believe and I don’t let it be defined by tribalism.
Using that as an example, if you spend a lot of most of your time let’s say defending little details about bad people it can come off as someone muddying the waters on purpose to downplay the awful things they do.
Or maybe your just on some shitty subs full of dumb people 🤷♂️
You’re assuming I spend my time defending bad people, which I don’t do. I just use critical thinking and point out logical fallacies. I believe fallacies are always bad, even if they support a position I agree with.
That’s exactly what I’m talking about. If a lot of your comments are pointing out logical fallacies against bad people then it looks like you’re muddying the waters. For example pointing out logic fallacies in arguments against conservatives but not doing the same against liberals wouldn’t make you wrong outright, but you’d be wrong by omission.
Haha as well. I’ve been called chauvinist, fascist and other words associated with the super far right, even though I’m center left on the compass. It’s impressive how utterly extinct nuance is in social media and traditional news.
I feel for you here. I think of myself as left of center but it is funny how much one side or the other treats the center like the hardest core of the other end. Its funny because I way back when I had started at a catholic college where I seemed waaayyy left but then transfered to the state school where I seemed centerist or at best kinda left and if you compared me to the school population then right of center. I did find the liberal state school seemed to have more of self awareness that the environment was skewed left whereas the catholic institution viewed itself as more center.
Yes that’s rightt, you’re reading this in Chef John’s voice now. Not only do I cook, which is my life’s passion, and probably my second favorite thing to do, but I also tell jokes, because let’s face it, it’s a perfect opportunity to perfect my comedy routine.
Yeah it’s called uptalk, I didn’t like it as much at first but now I really do and its such a signature style for the youtubes. Totally suits his appearance as well.
A low brow approach to botany and ecology through the ramblings of a crass Chicago Italian. Nowhere else will you find a full frontal milkweed pollination or see a San Francisco portapotty botanized.
I cannot believe I had to scroll so far down here to find this. It’s a channel so good he created a freaking genre! And plus, almost no one else does what he does legit. At least a lot of the bushcraft ones show when they use tools, but I’ve seen videos with 8 million views showing hand tools and harvesting wood, then boom, suddenly there’s dimensional lumber in the shot. Drives me wild when people fake it, but the OG never does, since he started the whole project for fun and fell backwards into money.
We have all, at one point, been you and gone back and rewatched every single one now with captions. It just hits later for some. They’re still good though.
Ethan Chlebowski does phenomenal cooking videos and deep dives into the science of food, specifically if some expensive ingredients are objectively worth the cost.
Fascinating Horror does unique videos in that they are discussions on all man-made or natural disasters. Great audio and video as well.
H0ser does fantastic videos on countries and economics with some humor, and cute animals to represent countires.
Horses does brilliant essays on a variety of topics, all of which are interesting and researched very well.
Nick Crowley does creepy, scary, and true crime like a lot of others, but puts a lot of effort into his editing and aesthetic.
Nexpo is largely the same as Nick Crowley, but with deeper dives and longer videos.
Would like to throw in Atomic Frontier, he makes on-location video essays about random science and engineering topics that are edited with great supporting infographics
