You keep asserting that she isn't pandering when people are pointing out that she literally is. That you can't see it is on you, I can't fix your perception on that, but ignoring her comments is likely why you are ignorant on what she is doing. They are very vocal about her dog whistles, she is...

This right here. She started in a very different place than where she's been going. I used to like her content but it started getting....weirdly suspicious a couple years ago.

One of the main issues with her approach is her framing of the situation, she sets herself up as a loan dissenting voice speaking the truth against the supposed hive mind. In reality all useful science is built on dissent. She is lending credence to the right wing claims that science is a...

I understand you are a fan but she wrecked her credibility when she started asserting things about subjects she has little to no training in. Her videos on climate change are a travesty for instance. You mention string theory and quite frankly those are quite good, it's her wheelhouse, she...

She's not considered terribly credible these days and has been pandering to the right wing and anti-intellectual crowd. She routinely asserts opinions with authority on subjects she is not an expert in (climate change, lgbt issues, etc) and is playing the skeptic card in ways that the...

I'm not going to waste my time watching videos if people can't just say whether he's a leftist or not. If he's not, fuck him, he's still doing damage. If he is, congrats, he isn't going to tell me anything I don't know as someone who grew up in the far right and am a leftist now, but hey the...

No, I'm just asking if he's actually against the Republicans or just does not like Trump. I do not see any 'good Republicans' or "good conservatives' in today's environment. Fascism is the inevitable result of conservatism as it has been pursued in the 20th and 21st centuries. If he is not...

Again, has he renounced the right and conservatism and worked to advance the left? If not he hasn't flipped at all, he just wants people he likes more in charge of the right.

Has Steve renounced conservatism and devoted himself to combating the far right by normalizing the left to his former colleagues?

This has always been my problem with South Park and most stuff by it's creators. They normalized the idea that to care was cringe and worth mocking. A generation and a half have been raised in this new normalcy.

The problem with all of these channels isn't that they are wrong, per say, it's that they are just preaching to the choir. They aren't reaching the audiences that need to be reached. I don't watch any of them because they serve only to raise my blood pressure, nothing they say is new to anyone...

As I listed in my rebuttal, it did so only in very specific circumstances and overall actually reduces the chances of migrants being granted a visa or residency. You stated "If you’re interested in what the bill actually did it was a bunch of the things you wanted" which is categorically false...

Yeah, you are trolling. I listed it all here: https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/did-biden-move-too-far-left-can-we-move-this-discussion-out-of-the-tariff-thread.2629747/post-41447790

You stated that he tried to pass a bill that did most of what I suggested. It did not. In fact it does the opposite of most of what I suggested. Unclear what your confusion is here.

I don't know if you are trolling or what, but this bill greatly expanded presidential power and would have been weaponized by Trump worse than what we are seeing today. In order from the article - 1: This gives the president broad powers to expel immigrants at will, without due process. The...
