Innuendo studios nailed it when they described the alt right as wearing opinions like hats. They try one on, see what fits during an argument, and discard the argument as soon as it becomes a liability or too much work to defend. The problem is that people on the left try to engage these opinions and arguments as if they are actually held by the person when the person is not worried about consistency. They’re worried about the appearance of victory in a public space, usually a web forum.
The only way to win is to not engage. So I generally will throw up a link or two, make a short statement about why something being stated is either too broad of a generalization or is just straight up incorrect, and then I do not read their replies. Because that is where they want you. They want to take you force you into an 80 comment flame war.
Basically everything he has made is fantastic. His gamergate talk is excellent and super relevant to the sweet baby inc. nonsense (aka Gamergate 2: Fuckboi Boogaloo)
A fascinating series, I cannot agree more. His other works too like protagony/agency. I really hope he can find a way to do more like that, but as a more personal video from him mentioned (not on the channel iirc, search for his name instead) that depends on funding support.
To sum up: it is far easier to tear down than to build up. :-| Also, truth is often stranger than fiction, and much harder to pin down and truly understand.
Really I guess these are not merely two opposing sides of the same argument, but literally represent opposing worldviews.
