The fact these Nebuloids are just completely walking around the intellectual property issue, knowing the people that follow them will not investigate it any further, shows that they're every bit as deceitful and intellectually dishonest as the right-wingers they detest so much.
These people who spend so much time criticizing you- why do they do that?
I would assume money, but not in a direct way. Is there a way that the same group of jackasses who control Google algorithms control ads on YouTube? Like, these people are awarded wirh more ad money when they criticize pro-social voices?
What I'm getting at is while I am humbled by your intellect and capacity to verbalize the fuckery in their arguments, I fear there's a dude in a control room who is sacking these people on you solely to divert your energy from pro-social messaging that wakes people up from the propaganda.
Having just found y'all, I'm not in your world yet. In my world, nobody has any clue about what is really going on (although my Trump-voting friends are better than Dem-voting friends at questioning stuff.) Is there a word for manipulating you into spending energy on deconstructing a moronic comment versus spending energy on getting your arguments to a wider audience? Because how many real people are actually following your detractors?
I really hope this doesn't come across as critical of you personally. That is NOT what I mean by it. I'm just learning how to talk about this stuff, and words on a screen lack emotion, so you can't see my eyes and my motives. I'm new to this stuff and it is striking how there's a little world of pro-social peeps who are constantly smeared by people who I've never heard of. And I totally get wanting to respond to critics, but I also feel like you could make videos with a MAGA audience in mind, and actually get people to support a government of action that fights for working families.
From an outsider's perspective, it seems like these detractors' sole purpose is to suck revolutionary energy away from where it could be productive. I bet you think about this a lot too...
I agree with you. To some extent, I think they are also a border. They stand between me and reaching a larger audience, because when someone sees the reaction to me and doesn't know why it's happening, usually it is assumed to be because I did something ridiculous. At least that is my experience.
To be fair, though, I think their arguments are starting to be no longer effective.
True. It's a careful dance of not letting sapsuckers suck your energy vs responding to legit comments. I just listened to a really old Parenti lecture- back during Reagan before the fall of the Soviet Union. I like and simultaneously hate listening to the Q and A. I feel like I need to hear the haters, I need to hear how people respond to them, but I also ache for the speaker (or writer), because I wonder, is this hater just there to steal your wind? Anyways, thank you for existing.
