It's good to be able to put into words how a thing is so obviously bullshit. Sometimes the bullshit is so obvious that I get tonguetied and don't know how to describe it.

It's like if someone wears literal bullshit on their head and calls it a diamond crown. What do I say to that? So I appreciate videos like this.

A lot of their videos are just common sense to anyone except radical leftists.

Anyone with an IQ above 90 is able to tell their videos are bullshit just from watching them

You're not the type to examine your own thought process, huh Mako?

You said 'common sense,' but I think you mean 'conservative confirmation bias.'

Calling it 'common sense' kind of gives the game away. It kind of implies that a particular thought or attitude is so common you're no longer actively thinking about it, just replicating the behavior like a cultural meme.

I had to stop the video to point out this guy is a hypocrite.

He misrepresented the Christina Hoff Summers videos. He compared the choices of adults to the choices of literal children as if children can decide how they are taught in schools.

I'm as liberal as they come but that's ridiculous.

Edit: Finished the video and he's absolutely right about the rest.

My favourite thing about prageru is how tokenistic the choice of narrator always is.

What's PragerU?

Rightwing propaganda that spreads misinformation and outright lies in an effort to propagate its namesake's (Dennis Prager) own distorted views

Good video. Thanks for sharing.

Time for some fun quotes from Dennis Prager. You know, the piece of shit behind the propaganda videos:

"Judaism cannot make peace with homosexuality because homosexuality denies many of Judaism's most fundamental principles. It denies life, it denies God's expressed desire that men and women cohabit, and it denies the root structure that Judaism wishes for all mankind, the family."

"But the major reason for anyone concerned with women's equality to be concerned with homosexuality is the direct correlation between the prevalence of male homosexuality and the relegation of women to a low social role. The improvement of the condition of women has only occurred in Western civilization, the civilization least tolerant of homosexuality."

"While the typical lesbian has had fewer than ten "lovers," the typical male homosexual in America has had over 500."

"We have been led to believe that America is supposed to be a secular country. But that was never the case. We were founded to be a God-centered, God-based country with a non-denominational government."

"Second, "sexual harassment" is so all-inclusive as to be largely meaningless: "sexist comments about their academic abilities, sexist comments about their athletic abilities unwanted romantic attention, demeaning gender-related comments, teasing based on their appearance, and unwanted physical contact." If a girls bra is snapped in elementary or high school; if a girl is told she should learn to throw a ball "like a guy does"; if a boy pursues a girl and fails in his pursuit these are all instances of 'sexism and sexual harassment'. What this thinking leads to is girls and women seeing themselves as victims, and almost as often to the emasculation of boys."

Dude is a complete and utter nutbag and his debunked YouTube videos used by rubes to substitute the work done by actual historians and professionals is ridiculous.

It's a YouTube channel created to peddle conservative propaganda because the creator thinks colleges are teaching liberal propaganda and thus wanted to even things out.

Oh, and PragerU tried to sue Google for YouTube "censoring" their videos under the "MUH FREEDOM OF SPEECH!" horseshit that the typical posters have argued is legitimate recently.

And, of course, the suit was dismissed in court and the judge specifically said "Defendants are private entities who created their own video-sharing social media website and make decisions about whether and how to regulate content that has been uploaded on that website."
