This is a normal post I'd say that the biased companies
which pretend like they're not biased, are considerably more of a problem than someone who is open about the fact they're biased. He's not in any way pretending to be non partisan

Also, what false information has he disseminated?

This is a normal post if you know he's biased why are you trusting him?

This is a normal post I'm not.
I'm enjoying him telling a room full of journalists to eat a dick.

This is a normal post loads of conspiracy theories, cultural marxism bollocks, etc.

(I helped save b3ta! $$ ✅, Thu 9 May 2019, 21:57, Reply)
This is a normal post I'll look into the conspiracy theories. Got any links to that?
Not sure precisely what cultural marxism means? Is that referring to no-platforming of dissenting opinions or what?

This is a normal post Check this one

Here he is making an absolute dogs dinner of loads of unrelated concepts.
You can tell he's on the conspiracy version of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_School#Cultural_Marxism_conspiracy_theory because he's talking about the critique of the enlightenment, and attacks on rationalism itself.

Frighteningly similar to the core aspect in the Nazi's anti Jewish rhetoric that led them into a war aimed at wiping out the 'threat to western civilization'.

The guy thinking reading something in a sarcastic voice, and then scoffing makes him an intellectual. Best case he doesn't know shit, worst case he know's what he's doing and is muddying the waters for actual Neo Nazi cunts.

This is a normal post Yeah he appears to have some pretty weird views.
I don't agree with them. Though a guy sarcastically scoffing without any input is kinda par for the course round here though, so I can't really knock it too much.

This is a normal post Pretty weak defense imo
He's entertaining perhaps, but he's also a gatekeeper into a downward spiral of scum, it all starts with his main lesson which is teaching people to skim read and then dismiss opponents out of hand. As if mindless scorn were a meaningful response.

It's the antithesis of critical thought.
It's your life and all, but the more you watch him, the angrier and stupider you'll get.

Why not learn, or create something new instead?
Life's short man, let the hateful wallow in their own shit.

This is a normal post It's true there is a bunch of unwatched Tommy Robinson in my feed.
Incidentally I've not watched him much. Just this and maybe half of two other videos, which were considerably less interesting.

I don't think there's any particular risk to my critical faculties, since I don't really agree with much of what I heard. But I'm not prepared to dismiss everything someone says out of hand just because of other things they've said or who they associate with, and that goes equally for this guy as it does for people at the other end like John McDonnell.

This is a normal post Fair enough
Just keep an eye on it. This lot are an extremely effective, well oiled machine when it comes to pushing the harder stuff, and they'll sneak it up on you very gradually.

This is a normal post Channel 4 are professional journalists who try to tell truths, maybe they don't always do it well but they at least try.
His "I'm not pretending to be non-partisan" thing is the same thing Trump peddles, "they're all crooks, so vote for the one who puts it all out in the open" - but the thing is they aren't all crooks, some are better and some are worse, why on earth would you choosing to go for the worst one of all instead of doing your duty as a human and using your judgement?

This is a normal post Yeah, I saw!
He didn't link to my site at all, which is a bit weird, the track on mixcloud has 3400 plays now though.

This is a normal post odd considering the very first sentence
how hard would it have been to make the first three words a link?
 (I helped save b3ta! artifus is doing it all wrong, Thu 9 May 2019, 22:42, Reply)
This is a normal post Yeah.
Dunno if it's worth emailing him, maybe he didn't like the rest of the site, just that bit.

This is a normal post I'm using my judgement. I'm not in favour of UKIP or anything.
I don't agree with much of what he says to be honest I just like the fact he is unafraid to tell journalists what he thinks of them, instead of that sickeningly faux contriteness they always demand and receive from politicians.

I look forward to seeing more of it in the near future.

This is a normal post cunt and double cunt
journalists do their job. you post edgelord videos from loser racists who love doxxing women.

This is a normal post Everyone does their job.
They can still be cunts.

I posted a video that contained no racism or doxxing.
 (eViLegion Chief Commissioner of the Scottish Lunacy Board, Fri 10 May 2019, 18:12, Reply)
This is a normal post Yes, but you are putting seal of approval on someone who does doxx women
and that makes you a cunt.
 (I helped save b3ta! The Ann Coulter Fan Club Babylon is burning at, Fri 10 May 2019, 20:56, Reply)
This is a normal post No,
I'm enjoying a video that has nothing to do with doxxing anyone. You're winding yourself up because of your own hypothesis about what I think about the guy. Kinda makes you the cunt.

This is a normal post He's been horribly outmanoeuvred though
All he knows is the internet. He thinks that tabloid journalists are thick and can be played. But they're more intelligent than their broadsheet counterparts, with added ruthlessness and they (unlike a YouTuber) genuinely shape opinion. For anyone in public life, they are to be feared above all else.

There's no equivalent in America, so Trump sailed through. But in the UK, no-one insults the tabloids with impunity (except Coogan and Hugh Grant, whose careers are set and who both know the worst is out there). UKIP are fucked now. And Farage - who's wise to the game, and who is a very great deal more sinister than Akkad/Dankula - slips effortlessly into the voice of Brexit reason and, soon perhaps - blessed be the day - into power...

This is a normal post They're on an ever-downward trajectory, I agree
But let's say the King of YouTube, Pewdiepie, stood for election. He'd get nowhere. Voters are conservative. They don't like rape jokes, they don't know who Pewdiepie is, they fear change that they don't understand. That Black Mirror episode seems prescient after Trump, but it's bollocks.

This is a normal post you think rape threats are funny and people who incite them shouldn't apologise
I reckon your judgement might be a bit off
 (benito vaselini no not that one, Fri 10 May 2019, 10:34, Reply)
This is a normal post I don't think he's ever made any rape threats.
And lets be honest neither do you.
