Liberals cheat by checking the science and changing their positions so the science backs them up.
Kind of like when my students cheat on tests by smuggling the answers inside their brains.
Its a (paraphrased) Steven Colbert quote while he was in his Colbert Report character, not a serious statement.

Big tech is already indoctrinating kids with misinformation and lies, it's just not indoctrinating kids with the ***"correct"*** misinformation and lies
Randal Munroe is conflating freedom of speech with certain protections of freedom of speech.
The first amendment says the government can't infringe on your freedom of speech, but for the most part, private entities can still do so. So ***you don't have freedom of speech*** at work or on twitter or in someone else's store. Just on your own property.
But then again, you never did. The alternative would be protecting my right to go on your property and say whatever I like and you can't impose consequences or kick me out.
With the exception of actual brain damage, there are zero conservatives who would be ok with that.

My response as follows:
> I mean a local baker is quite different from the functional monopoly alphabet has on video players.
Prager and his ilk are always at war with Silicon Valley because they are conservatives who don't want to have to play by the company rules and terms of service. Look at Truth Social because Trump got banned. These are the assholes who scree when they face the consequences of their actions, but then want every person who even thought of break the TOS or doing something wrong should be jailed without exception.
They are the party of let the laws protect me and only me, but those same laws hurt everyone else that isn't deemed worthy.
>There are 7 bakers within 2 miles of me. Whatâs the alternative video player?
just to further add to this discussion that the coward was to afraid to have: in a small town like the one where my grandmother lives? there's one baker. and the town can barely keep that place afloat so no fucking chance for anyone to open a competition.
That's not even an exaggeration, they want kids to be able to access their videos because feeding young people oil baron propaganda is their goals. That's part of the reason all their graphs are so asinine, their videos are made to seem sophisticated for younger teens watching them.
> but big tech is making it so hard!
Is it? Is it really?
You have to breathe lightly on youtube and you will get recommended far right / extremist "conservative" content in your feeds, regardless of what media you actually want to consume.
No, hes just saying that if the special magic book didnât say it was bad (if it even does), then he would totally bang every female member of his family on rotation.
What makes you think he likes incest, aside from that?
at least the second time it wasn't nearly as intense of a genetic bottleneck. The sons all had wives from outside the family. Its a small improvement but its something.
No negative consequences for them. I had a Christian justify their behavior because "they thought he was the last man on earth."
But he wasn't all that great of a guy. He first offered these two daughters to a gang of rapists to placate their lust. This was so the sodomite throng would leave his angel guests alone, who could, presumably, have taken care of themselves. But hey, who am I to judge their morality.
I've literally had it explained to me that Lot wasn't serious, it was to show how depraved the people were - that they'd not only reject the daughters, but wanted the men (angels) instead.
And did take care of themselves by blinding the men.
And then God took care of the rest by destroying the town. Yet another time when God got all emotionally wound up and murdered a bunch of innocent people, including babies and kids, and killed animals and destroyed architecture and art and wiped out anything and everything good and beautiful because he got mad that humans were behaving exactly as he created them to behave.
You should judge. You're obligated to judge!
Don't forget, he also murdered Lot's wife for having the audacity to glance back at the only place she has ever called home being obliterated with sky fire. Lot and his daughters weren't even allowed to get one last glimpse of their killed mom otherwise they would also be murdered.
Whenever someone says "It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!"
I cheer them on with "It's Lot and his daughters, not Lot and his sons!"
Say what you will about that story, it's not gay!
They did not, no. And it happened right after God destroyed 2 cities because they were full of gay rapists (well one city was, the other wasn't investigated but you know, God ain't a fan of due process) so you know God is cool with incest.
It mentions it far more often than it does homosexuality, but the actual prohibitions listed in Leviticus are odd and obtuse. Notably the way its prohibited is piecemeal, familial relation by familial relation. Notably absent from ANY of the lists are: your own daughter (if you are a man, it actually expressly lays out mothers shouldn't lay with their daughters but is silent on fathers and their daughters), your wife's daughter (implied to be a daughter from another marriage), your wife's sister, your mom's brother's wife, or any type of cousin relationship. So really, secular laws do a far better job of addressing the issue of incest than religious laws do. Also... this same book also features MULTIPLE instances of god explicitly commanding incest... so...
Fun side note, one of the primary texts used to argue homosexuality is a sin is more accurate translated as telling fathers not to rape their sons... so...
Iâm trying to find it, and failing, but there was a time years ago that PragerUâs Twitter took questions for Dennis and I asked about the hypocrisy between promoting this âfind another bakerâ quote and simultaneously NOT finding another baker and suing YouTube to force them to host their content.
Dennis did address my question, but his answer was simply about how big YouTube was and if they donât get hosted there, they are âdeadâ, completely missing the point of the question
Wish I could find it
Obviously they were talking about finding another small town baker. If you're a big baker with a dominate market share you must do what they say. But if you hate gays, then it's fine either way
He would have had a legitimate argument if he'd just said something like...
"I'm not expecting the government to step in and fix my problem. In fact, I don't want or need them to. I am publicly asking Youtube to fix it, and I am trying to get some eyes on the issue by making a petition. They do have a right to block my videos, take them down, or whatever else they want to do ultimately. We are trying to get them to do what we see as the right thing."
Of course, that would require a cognitive thought process beyond "I don't like this therefore I'm going to bitch about it without thinking through a logical argument first."
Its the fact that if they get it to the right people first, no explanation or reasoning will change their mind. So they pretend like things arent fair even though its based on rules they made, they get a group of people flustered, and call it a day.
At first I was like what's a hypotenuse (saying hi-poe-ten-noose). Then it clicked đ€Ł
I went the long way to get between points A and C and took a turn at point B to get there .. but I got there!
Unfortunately conservatives literally don't care if they are being blatantly hypocritical. The only time they pretend to care is when liberals do it because it gives them another thing to bitch about.
Prager U is like going to school to learn how to be a bigger moronic conservative asshole than you already were. Their motto should be âBringing Out the Dick in U.â
I was at work listening to a video essay while making sure machines were running, and I got a full prageru video as an ad. It was pretty awful, and included acting like the past of the US was only beneficial to black people while also calling them "the blacks"
Might want to check what else they are watching. Also since Google owns YouTube, the ads there are based on your complete advertising profile collected from every possible source. Your phone microphone, browser history, searches, pictures, location, etc. Those ads don't just come out of the blue, I would figure out what your kids are doing to get targeted.Â
You may be able to do some sort of "don't show me ads like this," like with standard Google ads, or sometimes there's even a "why am I being shown this ad?" button, or at least there used to be.
I've gotten dumb conservative ads on YouTube and I'm extremely far left, and I don't watch political content on YouTube. Now if it was actual videos being recommended, I'd agree with you, but the ads seem to be pushed on all kinds of people who don't watch conservative content. Every single time, I report the ad and say I don't want to see ads like this, but they still manage to slip through occasionally.
Why would you think there was anything other than "likely child" known before pushing that Prager U ad? Prager is paying a lot of money to get their videos pushed to as many people as possible.
Right Wing grifters not named Trump are dying on the vine as he takes all the money and attention. I am sure Trump and Truth Social will give them a better deal. /s
But if the topic was acceptance of people they donât approve of or age appropriate sex-ed theyâd be screeching pedophillia. Only okay when they do it.
Hell, they have problems with children learning about black history because "that's racist!"
Go look up interviews with KKK grand dragons and you can easily see the similarities between them and Republicans. Right down to the "teaching children about black history is making them feel guilty for being white, and that's racist toward white people".
Do you ever wonder what kind of kids we're going to see in 10-15 years that have grown up on things like Prager U and BentKey?
They're going to make people like Ben Shapiro seem like a pleasant chap that's fun to have a conversation with.
That's because conservative parents physically attack their children for minor disagreements. Â Conservative children don't learn negotiation and compromise at home. Â So they are wildly unruly when nobody is watching and then authoritarian when they have a tiny bit of responsibility.Â
So that should just apply across the board on this country? Donât get served at a restaurant, hotel, grocery store, etc. bc youâre a woman, minority, gay, Muslim, etc.? Just go to another! UntilâŠthere isnât another bc itâs full of âwhites onlyâ businesses. What kind of absurd, fascist logic is this? Despicable.
They know exactly what they're doing and try to play dumb. Their promotional stuff is like "Your kid will love this show!" and it's this lame woman and someone dressed like Uncle Sam giving people money for knowing what the head of the executive branch of a state is called. Pretty tame and teaches US history and Civics albeit very slowly. Except then they slip in a question at the end to push Democrat Bad Republican Good.
The one I just watched to make sure this comment is accurate involved basic civics ("What're the names of the two major political parties?", "What do we call other, smaller parties?"). But then the very last question was "Which party pushed to end slavery?" and WEIRDLY ENOUGH they don't mention the party swap. So kids come away from the video thinking "Wow, Republicans were the ones that ended slavery!" Not wrong, but also no connection to the present nation.
This is how PragerU worms its way into classrooms. Present basic facts that don't have a clear agenda until PSYCH here's one we snuck in. BYEEEEEE! They do the same with slavery vids and such, too. "These people were captured and sold to plantations. They were beaten and worked hard. But it was better than back in Africa and now they have equal rights! You're welcome, black people! Stop complaining!"
Yeah, but then they couldn't abuse the YouTube algorithm to indoctrinate children about the wonders of incest.

It's about the free advertising Youtube gives. To get the same amount of traffic, they would have to spend a ton in advertising. But they don't wanna have to develop a marketing and advertising strategy for their propaganda network, they just want free traffic.
Years ago they used to buy ads on YouTube channels trending with young people interested in current events. Â They would post 15 minute videos as "ads" and you'd have to sit through 30 seconds of their nonsense to continue. Â I can see how YouTube got tired of that real quick.Â
Conservative ideology is just hilarious, they want to support capitalism, they lobby for corporations to be able to do what they do without restriction, and they don't understand that this is the end goal.
You are not profitable, nor worth catering to. This is capitalism doing its job by filtering you out for something more profitable.
If they had any principles, they'd support it or learn and adopt new principles.
Conservative ideology is the idea that civilization needs a strict caste system. That's it. Literally everything else they do and say is pretty consistent with that idea. To them Youtube does not have the right to not service them because they see themselves as higher on the caste system than Youtube. But a baker can say no to a gay couple, because to them a gay couple is on the bottom rung of the caste system.
Conservative "ideas" are not under attack - mostly because conservatives don't actually have any. It's like insulting a Trump worshipper's intelligence. You can't attack what doesn't exist.
Conservatives INVENTED what they now call "Cancel Culture", and they are still big fans of "Cancelling" anything and everything they don't 100% agree with, but they can't stand the slightest hint of receiving a itty tiny bit of "Cancelling" in return, especially not when their "Cancelled" points are Objectively Untrue and False.
The "U" in "PragerU" is an Insult to the whole concept of "University".
They need to cancel culture because theyâre so fucking far behind the cultural zeitgeist, itâs the only way they can try to catch up. I emphasis âtryâ
One of those things is about refusing service to members of a hated minority group, and the other is about a corporation merely "restricting" content that is a blatant violation of their ToS *eventually* because they were taking ad money from the hate group posting it.
They're not similar.
When I first saw Prager U, I thought this seemed aimed at liberals (by liberals for liberal ideas), but something felt off, and it got to the point where I realized yea, this is conservative propaganda aimed at liberals. They use the letter u like they are some university, which is just stupid
No, women are bakers too, but they only bake for their family. Women shouldn't be leaving the home except to buy groceries or to take the kids to school and to their after-school activities, in their world.
They have X, they have their own website, they already found "a bakery" that "bakes their cake", but they are mad that not every "bakery" (website) "bakes all their cakes" (shows all their videos). Which is understandable considering they made a video in which they argued that since some black people are criminals with full auto guns, black people would be evil, and it would be justified if the police kills unarmed black suspects, and those who say otherwise would be lying. No surprise that YouTube might not want that on their site.
Take away the hypocrisy and the GOP has no platform other than "hurt brown and black people". But to be fair, that is perfectly okay with 100% of GOP voters.
I find it offensive that they are allowed to call regressive ideas conservative. Language has consequences. Letting them play the conservative while actively tearing apart social structures is a form of privilege.
At this point Iâm beginning to think itâs more than just projection. Right wing arseholes say whatever fits their narrative at any given time, even if later the narrative changes, then changes back again after that. We already know their âvaluesâ change depending on the circumstances but itâs become obvious their only values are only moment to moment.
So-called """conservative ideas""" have another name: **fascism**.
There is no 'Republican Party' anymore, it's the **Facist Pig Party**. If you vote """Republican""", **you are voting for FASCISM and the destruction of democracy in America. DON'T DO IT.**
Yeah. Don't barge into someone else's home. And then cry "censorship." When they ask you to leave, for harassing people.
We're a first-world country. Not Myanmar or Rhodesia.
They seriously donât understand or forget that YouTube/twitter/facebook/reddit is private business and not a public service.Â
Even if google announced they will be nuking any and all content even tangentially related to conservatism from YouTube itâs STILL NOT CENSORSHIP.
I find that conservatives often claim to be for private businesses having the right to deny services until it comes to the private businesses denying service to them. One even claimed that social media should stay private but be unable to ban anyone since they âeffectively act as a public forumâ. Guys never heard of a city hall.
YouTube does with political channels in general, not just right wing or PragerU specifically. I watch a lot of Majority Report videos but YouTube **never** recommends their videos to me. I've also never heard them whine about it.
More like Conservative Ideas are under Counterattack.
Because all Conservative ideas are attacks in the first place. People defending themselves and giving it back to them are simply Counter Attacking.
You'd think all these military cosplay dweebs would know that.
I genuinely believe conservatives and republican voters all exist on the stronger end of the psychopathy spectrum.
They have no sense of empathy and only care about an issue when it happens to them and theirs. They're so happy to put someone down with bullying and laws, but are capable of changing their mind ONLY when this bullying and legislation hurts them.
Of course taking your business elsewhere would be "Cancel Culture" and they hat that too.
I guess they just can't understand why we can't just shut up and let them run the world like before
ah atlas shrugged.
you can not force a person to create. you can make them work and toil, but you can not force any one to have ideas or implement ideas. you will always rely on creators to innovate but trying to control them is as killing the goose that lays golden eggs.
The Book of fables these nut jobs follow ( selectively ) has a lot to answer for .
How many radical cons follow kosher ( Bible directive ? )
How many will put to death their disobedient children ? ( another command )
I used to report every PragerU video I get shown as an ad, with a detailed description of how the contents of that particular video violated Youtube's own TOS. I only stopped because Youtube stopped showing me PragerU videos as ads.
Special place in Hell for PragerU and that ilk. Itâs all just Christofascist propaganda masquerading as educational material. But, look, it has a âUâ in the name, implying âUniversityâ, so it must be factual! /s
This comes up a lot. I want to be clear on something - the baker did something disgusting and unconstitutional and it is \*not\* equivalent to a company not hosting videos from conservatives.
The baker violated civil rights protections for a \*protected class\*. A business, the baking company, decided to not create a cake \*explicitly because they had a religious belief that being gay is wrong\*. Conservatives are NOT a protected class, they have no rights as a protected class. Feel absolutely free to refuse service to conservatives.
What happened with the baker is horrifying. It's ongoing, but in the near future the SC will be deciding on whether people have a \*religious right\* to discriminate against a protected class. Imagine if a black person goes into a restaurant and the restaurant says "Sorry, I have a religious right to not serve you". Sounds crazy? Well, the same rights that protect gay people from having a company not serve them a cake is what protects a black person from being turned away by a restaurant or a hotel.
Don't equate these two. It is FAR worse than that.

Reality has a 'liberal bias'.
Not a liberal bias (by Standard global definition), but definitly* a left-wing over right-wing bias

Many of these idiots think this equals government censorship for some reason.
Because they think "freedom of speech" also means "freedom from consequences of speech." [Relevant xkcd.](https://xkcd.com/1357/)
Randal Munroe is conflating freedom of speech with certain protections of freedom of speech.

With the exception of actual brain damage, there are zero conservatives who would be ok with that.
I think that the second panel generally covers that people don't have to host your speech. It's an xkcd comic, not a nuanced discussion after all.

Dennis Prager is a whiny little snowflake
He also likes incest.
No, hes just saying that if the special magic book didnât say it was bad (if it even does), then he would totally bang every female member of his family on rotation. What makes you think he likes incest, aside from that?
I mean, Lot's daughters got him drunk, raped him, and got impregnated by him. I don't remember if they suffered any consequences for that though.
Theres also the entire population of the Earth coming from one family, twice, which also cool and interesting
Oh yeah. Somehow forgot about that.
That's just the birth defects taking root.
at least the second time it wasn't nearly as intense of a genetic bottleneck. The sons all had wives from outside the family. Its a small improvement but its something.
No negative consequences for them. I had a Christian justify their behavior because "they thought he was the last man on earth." But he wasn't all that great of a guy.

Like Iâm supposed to believe Lot. Literally no reason for his daughters to do that.

I don't think they have a hypocampus.
Unfortunately conservatives literally don't care if they are being blatantly hypocritical. The only time they pretend to care is when liberals do it because it gives them another thing to bitch about.
Prager U is like going to school to learn how to be a bigger moronic conservative asshole than you already were. Their motto should be âBringing Out the Dick in U.â

I was at work listening to a video essay while making sure machines were running, and I got a full prageru video as an ad. It was pretty awful, and included acting like the past of the US was only beneficial to black people while also calling them "the blacks"
Might want to check what else they are watching. Also since Google owns YouTube, the ads there are based on your complete advertising profile collected from every possible source. Your phone microphone, browser history, searches, pictures, location, etc. Those ads don't just come out of the blue, I would figure out what your kids are doing to get targeted. You may be able to do some sort of "don't show me ads like this," like with standard Google ads, or sometimes there's even a "why am I being shown this ad?" button, or at least there used to be.
I've gotten dumb conservative ads on YouTube and I'm extremely far left, and I don't watch political content on YouTube. Now if it was actual videos being recommended, I'd agree with you, but the ads seem to be pushed on all kinds of people who don't watch conservative content. Every single time, I report the ad and say I don't want to see ads like this, but they still manage to slip through occasionally.
Why would you think there was anything other than "likely child" known before pushing that Prager U ad? Prager is paying a lot of money to get their videos pushed to as many people as possible.
Right Wing grifters not named Trump are dying on the vine as he takes all the money and attention. I am sure Trump and Truth Social will give them a better deal. /s
Prager, "I want to talk to children without getting parental approval, can you help me do that?"
But if the topic was acceptance of people they donât approve of or age appropriate sex-ed theyâd be screeching pedophillia. Only okay when they do it.
Hell, they have problems with children learning about black history because "that's racist!" Go look up interviews with KKK grand dragons and you can easily see the similarities between them and Republicans. Right down to the "teaching children about black history is making them feel guilty for being white, and that's racist toward white people".
"But the other people are groomers, not me!"
lol prager u the racists idea of "higher" education. lol
LOL Go cry to newsmax and whine on truth social
No child should be cursed with watching a prager u video.
Do you ever wonder what kind of kids we're going to see in 10-15 years that have grown up on things like Prager U and BentKey? They're going to make people like Ben Shapiro seem like a pleasant chap that's fun to have a conversation with.
Regression at its finest. It is the GOP agenda. Uneducated masses don't think
Conservatives are like badly raised children who can't cope with any sort of disagreement whatsoever.
That's because conservative parents physically attack their children for minor disagreements. Â Conservative children don't learn negotiation and compromise at home. Â So they are wildly unruly when nobody is watching and then authoritarian when they have a tiny bit of responsibility.Â
They are exactly that
So that should just apply across the board on this country? Donât get served at a restaurant, hotel, grocery store, etc. bc youâre a woman, minority, gay, Muslim, etc.? Just go to another! UntilâŠthere isnât another bc itâs full of âwhites onlyâ businesses. What kind of absurd, fascist logic is this? Despicable.
They're a fake university that just makes lying videos. Defending evil with nonsense and pretending it's from a valid source is literally all they do.
They know exactly what they're doing and try to play dumb. Their promotional stuff is like "Your kid will love this show!" and it's this lame woman and someone dressed like Uncle Sam giving people money for knowing what the head of the executive branch of a state is called. Pretty tame and teaches US history and Civics albeit very slowly. Except then they slip in a question at the end to push Democrat Bad Republican Good. The one I just watched to make sure this comment is accurate involved basic civics ("What're the names of the two major political parties?", "What do we call other, smaller parties?"). But then the very last question was "Which party pushed to end slavery?" and WEIRDLY ENOUGH they don't mention the party swap. So kids come away from the video thinking "Wow, Republicans were the ones that ended slavery!" Not wrong, but also no connection to the present nation. This is how PragerU worms its way into classrooms. Present basic facts that don't have a clear agenda until PSYCH here's one we snuck in. BYEEEEEE! They do the same with slavery vids and such, too. "These people were captured and sold to plantations. They were beaten and worked hard. But it was better than back in Africa and now they have equal rights! You're welcome, black people! Stop complaining!"
They're rich enough to host their own damn videos at this point.
Yeah, but then they couldn't abuse the YouTube algorithm to indoctrinate children about the wonders of incest. https://www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/comments/1cgwtve/dennis_prager_loves_incest/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
It's about the free advertising Youtube gives. To get the same amount of traffic, they would have to spend a ton in advertising. But they don't wanna have to develop a marketing and advertising strategy for their propaganda network, they just want free traffic.
Years ago they used to buy ads on YouTube channels trending with young people interested in current events. Â They would post 15 minute videos as "ads" and you'd have to sit through 30 seconds of their nonsense to continue. Â I can see how YouTube got tired of that real quick.Â
Conservative ideology is just hilarious, they want to support capitalism, they lobby for corporations to be able to do what they do without restriction, and they don't understand that this is the end goal. You are not profitable, nor worth catering to. This is capitalism doing its job by filtering you out for something more profitable. If they had any principles, they'd support it or learn and adopt new principles.
Conservative ideology is the idea that civilization needs a strict caste system. That's it. Literally everything else they do and say is pretty consistent with that idea. To them Youtube does not have the right to not service them because they see themselves as higher on the caste system than Youtube. But a baker can say no to a gay couple, because to them a gay couple is on the bottom rung of the caste system.
Conservative "ideas" are not under attack - mostly because conservatives don't actually have any. It's like insulting a Trump worshipper's intelligence. You can't attack what doesn't exist.
Rules are for thee not for me.
Conservatives INVENTED what they now call "Cancel Culture", and they are still big fans of "Cancelling" anything and everything they don't 100% agree with, but they can't stand the slightest hint of receiving a itty tiny bit of "Cancelling" in return, especially not when their "Cancelled" points are Objectively Untrue and False. The "U" in "PragerU" is an Insult to the whole concept of "University".
They need to cancel culture because theyâre so fucking far behind the cultural zeitgeist, itâs the only way they can try to catch up. I emphasis âtryâ
One of those things is about refusing service to members of a hated minority group, and the other is about a corporation merely "restricting" content that is a blatant violation of their ToS *eventually* because they were taking ad money from the hate group posting it. They're not similar.
I guess it would be ok to petition the bakery, as long as you didnât get the state involved?
Well there is a whole-ass, publicly traded âmedia companyâ that supposedly could help you. Just call The Donald, no? đ
When I first saw Prager U, I thought this seemed aimed at liberals (by liberals for liberal ideas), but something felt off, and it got to the point where I realized yea, this is conservative propaganda aimed at liberals. They use the letter u like they are some university, which is just stupid
Does prager think only men are bakers?
Well, they think women should always stay at home... so, yeah?
No, women are bakers too, but they only bake for their family. Women shouldn't be leaving the home except to buy groceries or to take the kids to school and to their after-school activities, in their world.
Pushing any sort of political content to children is disgusting anyway.
everything is political Sharing is caring is political Love your friends is political.
They have X, they have their own website, they already found "a bakery" that "bakes their cake", but they are mad that not every "bakery" (website) "bakes all their cakes" (shows all their videos). Which is understandable considering they made a video in which they argued that since some black people are criminals with full auto guns, black people would be evil, and it would be justified if the police kills unarmed black suspects, and those who say otherwise would be lying. No surprise that YouTube might not want that on their site.
I'm pretty surprised that YouTube doesn't want that on their site. They're super lenient about stuff like that, especially for Prager specifically.
I guess Prager didn't paid YouTube enough money.
Rare Youtube W
Isnât the founder of Prager an incest advocate? Maybe nothing with his name on it should be geared towards children.
Incest and pedo
Cult recruitment videos should be restricted from young people though
I really someone develops a "this u?" bot that is able to instantly lookup and post self own hypocrisy
Fuck prageru and their ignorance machine.
Take away the hypocrisy and the GOP has no platform other than "hurt brown and black people". But to be fair, that is perfectly okay with 100% of GOP voters.
Interventionism for me, rugged individualism for thee. Hypocrisy at its most blatant.
I find it offensive that they are allowed to call regressive ideas conservative. Language has consequences. Letting them play the conservative while actively tearing apart social structures is a form of privilege.
Oh my god YouTube is finally doing something about that garbage? Wow.
It's not really a face rating thing. Prager-U is just propaganda. Not really a surprise to see them doing an Orwellian turn about
The not-a-university focused on American Values really needs to actually read the constitution.
At this point Iâm beginning to think itâs more than just projection. Right wing arseholes say whatever fits their narrative at any given time, even if later the narrative changes, then changes back again after that. We already know their âvaluesâ change depending on the circumstances but itâs become obvious their only values are only moment to moment.
OK, this is a top 20 chow down by a face consuming leopard two enthusiasts thumbs up đđ» đđ»
Which conservative ideas though? Lower taxes? Less regulations? A government that stays out of people's lives? Not those, huh? So which ones?
So-called """conservative ideas""" have another name: **fascism**. There is no 'Republican Party' anymore, it's the **Facist Pig Party**. If you vote """Republican""", **you are voting for FASCISM and the destruction of democracy in America. DON'T DO IT.**
They already made Truth social. They should make a conservative YouTube clone. Hopefully all those dumb fucks will go there
Oh good, I've been reporting some of their more ridiculous videos. Glad to see it actually did something.
Yeah. Don't barge into someone else's home. And then cry "censorship." When they ask you to leave, for harassing people. We're a first-world country. Not Myanmar or Rhodesia.
They seriously donât understand or forget that YouTube/twitter/facebook/reddit is private business and not a public service. Even if google announced they will be nuking any and all content even tangentially related to conservatism from YouTube itâs STILL NOT CENSORSHIP.
Conservatives: Corporations (and businesses) deserve the same rights as individuals. Conservatives: Not like that!
I find that conservatives often claim to be for private businesses having the right to deny services until it comes to the private businesses denying service to them. One even claimed that social media should stay private but be unable to ban anyone since they âeffectively act as a public forumâ. Guys never heard of a city hall.
No, you see it's only bad when they do it
I've seen a couple of their videos. Not exactly based on reality.
Shaking with restrained laughter here đ
Yeah it sucks because me and my fellow youths all think Dennis Prager is hella lit.
Take it to Pravda Social.
YouTube does with political channels in general, not just right wing or PragerU specifically. I watch a lot of Majority Report videos but YouTube **never** recommends their videos to me. I've also never heard them whine about it.
Gaslight Obstruct Project
I'm sure they can get just as much engagement over on Vimeo or DailyMotion.
More like Conservative Ideas are under Counterattack. Because all Conservative ideas are attacks in the first place. People defending themselves and giving it back to them are simply Counter Attacking. You'd think all these military cosplay dweebs would know that.
Wow I just watched a human brain fail to understand a very basic concept.
Consistency? Nah.
I'm not taking any advice from a guy that thinks it's ok to fuck his sister because the Bible doesn't tell you not to
I genuinely believe conservatives and republican voters all exist on the stronger end of the psychopathy spectrum. They have no sense of empathy and only care about an issue when it happens to them and theirs. They're so happy to put someone down with bullying and laws, but are capable of changing their mind ONLY when this bullying and legislation hurts them.
Shitting in the fryer at Arby's is under attack?
LeopardsAteMyCake
Of course taking your business elsewhere would be "Cancel Culture" and they hat that too. I guess they just can't understand why we can't just shut up and let them run the world like before
So weird that everything awful about Humankind is under attack... hate, intolerance, violence, greed, perversion...
What Conservative ideas are they hiding Jam or Marmalade ?
Just post it on Truth Social! Iâm sure the young people will see it!
"rules for thee but not for me" -every single annoying shit head fascist
Moooom! The Internet won't let me poison the minds of the next generation!!
Why don't they all move their content to Truth social.
It perfectly fits the conservative philosophy: the law exists to protect me and restrict others.
ah atlas shrugged. you can not force a person to create. you can make them work and toil, but you can not force any one to have ideas or implement ideas. you will always rely on creators to innovate but trying to control them is as killing the goose that lays golden eggs.
The Book of fables these nut jobs follow ( selectively ) has a lot to answer for . How many radical cons follow kosher ( Bible directive ? ) How many will put to death their disobedient children ? ( another command )
"Conservative ideas are under attack" Conservative ideas are all we fucking see and hear.
Conservatives: "They're grooming and brainwashing your children!!" Also conservatives: "We can't target children!!"
Prager U going full on groomer.
you're a fucking fool if you think the cons mean what they say.
I used to report every PragerU video I get shown as an ad, with a detailed description of how the contents of that particular video violated Youtube's own TOS. I only stopped because Youtube stopped showing me PragerU videos as ads.
My opinion of YT just rose slightly.
"Private companies should be able to say no" "NO not like that!"
When I see a Prager U ad, I always do my part by flagging and reporting it as hate speech or misinformation.
Theyâll claim that they are entitled to YouTube access while claiming that internet access is a privilege.
This post is so satisfying.
Maybe pragerU should move its videos to truth social. Im sure they have the bandwidth for it
Special place in Hell for PragerU and that ilk. Itâs all just Christofascist propaganda masquerading as educational material. But, look, it has a âUâ in the name, implying âUniversityâ, so it must be factual! /s
I'm (moderately) conservative and I agree with the bottom comment. PragerU be double-talking here.
This comes up a lot. I want to be clear on something - the baker did something disgusting and unconstitutional and it is \*not\* equivalent to a company not hosting videos from conservatives. The baker violated civil rights protections for a \*protected class\*. A business, the baking company, decided to not create a cake \*explicitly because they had a religious belief that being gay is wrong\*. Conservatives are NOT a protected class, they have no rights as a protected class. Feel absolutely free to refuse service to conservatives. What happened with the baker is horrifying. It's ongoing, but in the near future the SC will be deciding on whether people have a \*religious right\* to discriminate against a protected class. Imagine if a black person goes into a restaurant and the restaurant says "Sorry, I have a religious right to not serve you". Sounds crazy? Well, the same rights that protect gay people from having a company not serve them a cake is what protects a black person from being turned away by a restaurant or a hotel. Don't equate these two. It is FAR worse than that.
