From Samantha Bee:

quote:

Prager U is actually dangerous. They’re reaching a new, younger audience with bullshite conservative propaganda. They trick kids into thinking their videos are educational even though Prager U is as much of a real college as Monsters University.


Hundreds of responses along the line of "Thanks! Ive never heard of them and this is great!" and retweets of Prager's "Why no one trusts the mainstream media."

I don’t see how anyone can stand to watch that wench. Her comedic schtick is to twist and jerk around like she is having convulsions while yelling points.

The damn commercials are even unwatchable.

And to add, I have never been asked, heard, or heard of anyone hearing “did you see Samatha Bee last night?”

What's funny is that Prager U is basically a faint pink pill. It's what pinkos ought to hope those on the right believe, rather than what can really be found in the dark reaches of the internet.

I've watched quite a few or their videos. I've also watched counterarguments by people like Three arrows, Shaun, and Uncorrupted Report

I have no issue with them existing, but I don't take their videos are infallible gospel.

One video in particular I didn't appreciate was there video regarding traditional marriage. My only issue with it is that it ( like many others of it's genre) sets unrealistic expectations for many young men. Knowledge on divorce rates, who initiates most divorces, and who benefits most from these divorces crushes the entire narrative.

Edit: Sorry wrong YouTuber.

You dislike Prager U? I think they make some nice videos.

I don't dislike them, but it's just very lightweight stuff, relatively. It's a solid introduction towards a rightward drift.

Let me ask it this way - do you consider them dangerous and require adult verification to watch (like one with explicit violence or sexuality), or would you consider them generally safe for viewing by all audiences?

I try to imagine many, many women naked.

Samantha is not on my list.

Aaaand that's where someone who sees the merits of traditional marriage starts to look further to the right in order to enact and preserve such institutions.

TBS promos that show non-stop, so I suspect ratings are suffering.

And Conan has almost the same number of promos.

Good for all general audiences.

However, the problem is going to be COPPA as they are going to have more influence on YouTube going forward.

Full disclosure, I hate the entire family law system in the US. I believe it is entirely biased and exist to benefit the women, not to establish any form of fairness.

I have nothing against traditional marriage. You are misinterpreting my statement. I'm saying that men need to learn how to support each other and learn the marriage game in their state to protect themselves.

Men who still think life is like the 1950s regarding marriage are the prime candidates to get raped in divorce cases. Don't be a simp.

The solution is not to game the system as it is, but to change the system to what is optimal. That is the lesson to be learned, not just in terms of family law, but many aspects of society.

I'll be out of work if we make the reforms I think we ought to.
