People share articles all of the time here that showcase all kinds of harmful bull****. That doesn't mean everyone transforms into Florida Man.

If there's no validity to anything she has to say, the mainstream media can easily debunk it. And on the points where there's wiggle room (like her claims that the police planted evidence or that the legal system ****ed her), that opens up inquiries about our powerful institutions that might be worth asking.

YouTube doesn't have moral scruples. They demonetize and wipe out whole channels and make all kinds of decisions for completely arbitrary reasons. The vast majority of the clips in that 20 minute segment of the documentary could be found elsewhere on YT without any censorship.

YouTube's censorship is based on algorithms like most platforms and of course the algorithms are flawed.

But they do ban things for being harmful if it gains massive popularity.

Being banned by YouTube shouldn't grant anything some kind of magical ethos or pathos that leads you to ignore the logos.

It's pretty cute that the protesters think of themselves as revolutionaries for returning to the status quo as if everything was fine and dandy.

That one was really bad. I mean gross

He is smarter than that.

The moment he tried to say that people not believing her felt like misogyny you realize he's trying to push an agenda.

It's proof that the ruling upper class elites already won.

I can agree with that.

As I mentioned early on, there were only a few points in the whole video I found interesting to talk about, like the thing about influenza and the possibility of virus interference. I didn't go into it agreeing with her positions. If she thinks she was treated unjustly in some way by the scientific community, her peers, whatever, I thought it was worth looking at the story.

If your talking about that post a few pages back, that was in reference to what I think she was getting at in her own story.

Why do you keep using the word "interesting"? You do realize you just use it in a passive aggressive way to mean "assaults the ideas of the people whose ideas I'm trying to assault", right? Like every time I see you use the word "interesting" it's always in service of being a snarky dip**** who thinks he's being sneaky about it. Like in a really obvious way that only people trying to give you the benefit of the doubt could possibly ignore.

That's pretty rich coming from someone that for all intents and purposes is a complete nihilist. You don't give a **** about science or other people's perspectives anyway. Death to America or bust, right? What's the point of getting offended personally when it isn't even about you?

We already established that Bats is a pseudo nihilist. He cares. He cares big time.
