The Alt-Right Playbook x PhilosophyTube: Doublewrong (early access)

Really? Oh, then I guess it was someone else. My mistake on that.

Stray? the cat video game? I haven't played Stray and didn't skeet about it.

I think if you're going to bother talking to a conservative about healthcare rights at all, then you need to very confidently and fervently establish what YOU value, and frame yourself as pro freedom and anti government overreach. "I oppose the government infringing on my freedoms and the freedoms of my fellow Americans, especially when it comes to what people do with their bodies." Focus the conservation on policy and insist that the conservative explain why they oppose individual freedoms.

it's actually more actionable than 90% of the series

I enjoyed it, though I will say the "it's about values" is often weaponized the other way, e.g. euphemisms ("it's not segregation, it's about the rights of states") or denial ("I regret letting Nazis on the platform, but it's about free speech" or "sure, we could give them welfare, but when will they learn about personal responsibility?"). And since it can be played disingenuously, it's easy to ignore for either side (I remember McCain in a 2008 Presidential Debate rolling his eyes and finger quotes on "oh yeah, the "health of the mother"" during a debate question). Again, love the video, but that's just what came to mind. You can try to make it about values, but they'll do the same for their beer goggles vision of the world or ethics.

I’m not sure I agree it’s a technique for starting arguments. I think it might be a technique for both starting and ending them at the same time. Uttering “The study SAYS they’re DANGEROUS!” seems to me like it means something like “we are in an argument, I am threatening you, therefore the argument is over and I’ve beaten you with my threat.” And you might rightly think “well, isn’t someone who has to threaten people to shut them up kinda admitting they have a bad argument?” and in a reasonable world you’d be right. But a lot of very right leaning people believe that one of the appropriate things to do with folks lesser than you is to hit them until they shut up. The thing they’re doing is the verbal equivalent of showing a child the belt they intend to spank them with.

I love the TARP music so much :D

I like it. & it cuts right to the bone of the problem.

https://nebula.tv/videos/innuendostudios-the-altright-playbook-x-philosophytube-doublewrong I think there's a typo at 8:48. "can I just go with what I've got or do I need to *read hit* the library again?"

Great video, saw it on Nebula, then saw your birthday wish... Happy Birthday ;) Trying to convince people gender affirming care is safe (because it's done for cis people too), life saving, and the right thing to do is hard enough sometimes. Now that I have the double wrong example it will help figure out where to cut my losses. I met the first person I know was trans in '92, and I try to counter mis/disinformation when I can.

Mixed feelings indeed. Every day brings another stark reminder of the new normal of anti-social regression -- the unironic, beyond rage-bating use of, "Your body, my choice," being the latest for me -- TARP *seems* like an exercise in futility when you look at the current state of the world, but is it actually futile? I don't think so. I know that TARP has been a positive and constructive experience for me at least, and I'm proud to be a fan of TARP and to have witnessed its birth. I'm not saying that, "You changed one person's life!" should be enough for you or any creator, *but it's not nothing*.

Hearing "say for the sake of argument" in a recognizable voice that isn't Ian's felt like reading the funny papers on April Fool's Day 1997.

Mike Kachur

Now THIS is what I'm talking about. I feel you finally managed to speak aloud here what was a subtext in all the other videos. It reminds me of something I figured out when trying to debate a flat-earther; I knew from the start it was hopeless, but I wanted to figure out what it would take to not get stuck in endless deferrals to dodgy or unread "evidence" or hypothetical experiments. Evidence is a dependency, and when building something it is desirable to minimise dependencies. Of course, the way you two expressed this and linked it so tightly to so many other themes makes my little insight seem slight. Bravo.

Declan Maguire

I watched the video and thought about it, and I still don't get it. I feel like there are some things in the Alt-Right Playbook videos I don't get; also, several things in this video I feel go unspoken or not discussed more. I don't know if it's me or what I wish I could just get this through my head.

Always know it's been Alt-Right Playbook when that unforgettable song kicks in :)

Chris Johnson

I'm admittedly saddened about the scripted videos we'll probably never get to see, but I completely understand your reasoning and I'm grateful for what you can give us. This has been my favorite series on YouTube but this video comes as a complete surprise and I'm unexpectedly moved by a deeper gratitude. As somebody who identified as cis, found out they were trans and started transitioning over the course of you making this series, you doing a video that not only defends us but does so in a way that doesn't bother to defend the points but casually takes the facts about trans medicine for granted during an argument about something else makes me feel... at ease in a way I normally don't get to when I see lefty videos talking about our rights and healthcare. Thank you so much for not only collaborating with a trans creator for this but actually letting her speak it in her own voice. And thank you for everything you've done to educate people with this series. Also, glad to hear you're feeling better!

Homebrew Futures

Fantastic, as usual.

Carlos Teel

The videos I've seen if this series have been half n half. I like some of it I don't like some of it, I agree with some disagree with other parts of it.

Dream collab!

Wonderfully done. Always great to have an tARPb that gives you a sense of how to avoid the trap

Evan Davis

thanks so much for everything you've done, with this series and everything else. it's been a huge part of my life and was the start of a long educational journey for me

trevor

I love this collab, and I love the video! I'm going to miss this animation style a lot; I would love to see something like it applied to other video topics! (Although I understand if not, it's probably a ton of work.)

Charlotte KL

Thank you, we need this more than ever.
