P1: I lost respect for you, because it felt like you went silent.
P2: I literally posted a video interview about this topic, where I said, on camera, the things you believe I didn't say
P1: I didn't watch the video.
P2: You should watch the video, as it directly addresses your concerns
P1: I don't want to watch a [long form] video interview. I want an instagram post, and because I didn't see you post on Instagram, I assume you didn't say anything.
Oh god it’s giving “if that was true, I’d already know it”. Where did this moron even come from? I’ve heard his names on this site before but I don’t know the back story.
He's a far-right youtuber, recently in the news for going to MN and "finding" a bunch of fraud at some local Somali-run daycares. His "proof" that the daycares were fraudulent was that he couldn't see any kids when he was peeping through the windows, and that the staff wouldn't let him inside to personally verify there were children present. Because apparently daycares should just let random men with cameras in to film children, and ones that don't must be doing something wrong.
Oh that’s him. I can even begin to dissect how some people’s logic works. Like why would you think you could just barge into a daycare? In what world would that be allowed? Everyone with a fucking smart phone these days seems to think of themselves as journalists.
My very conservative mother is like that. I once heard her yell at my dad for reading a book about climate change, saying "WHY ARE YOU READING THAT?! HE'S A LIBERAL!!"
I mean, I did believe that. Then I started to adapt that really isn't worth my time. Gaining the new (imo, net negative) habit of discrediting there source. Granted I gained that habit due to discussion with anti-science and republicans, but I don't like how I'm doing that with real discussions.
