Whether it's in context or out of it, the process you describe is the exact same. You can see in this video of Charlie debating a bunch of liberal students how context doesn't matter whatsoever to them (the abortion and tranny segments show this in particular).And they've probably never watched a single one of Charlie's videos. Or if they have, it's only been short out-of-context clips within a video aimed at attacking Charlie from a creator they are ideologically aligned with.
They are there to ask him to clarify things, to dismantle what they see as a thoroughly and intrinsically flawed and immoral worldview, but they can't move him one goddamn inch, because his stances are (for the most part) very consistent. They sneer at him, laugh at him, and mock him whenever they encounter positions that seem inherently false within their minds, and yet they can't knock down any of them. Making weird faces and sighing is all they can do at a certain point, because their own positions were installed without any real frameworks, so they just do the whole "oh, look at how inherently wrong this dude is, amirite guys?" dance.
The "context" is literally sitting there in front of them and it doesn't matter one bit. This idea that "if they only encountered the right information, they'd change their minds!" is so wonderfully optimistic but doesn't work whatsoever with people who have been conditioned to yearn to win off of bad faith arguments against those they deem to be ontologically evil.
This user said basically the same thing in different words, which I didn't see before I typed all of that out, but the video above is a good example of this happening live and without a crowd hyping Charlie up.The bottom line is they aren't arguing to learn, or be convinced, or really even to convince YOU that you are wrong. Any argument merely serves to make them feel more correct, moral, just, and empathetic because they can point at YOU and your beliefs to feel better about themselves and their own beliefs. Then never engage in a way that is constructive because they can't and critically don't want to.
