Freedomtoons

[skykiii]

Freedomtoons is a youtube channel run by Seamus Coughlin (I think I spelled that right). He also does a similar channel called Common Sense Media. Most of his cartoons are short subjects (usually averaging five minutes, sometimes as short as thirty seconds) but can be longer in rare instances.

Here's a smorgasbord of this man's styles:

-General jokes about societal hypocrisy (usually against the left though he has criticized the right as well).

-Ripped from the headlines.

-Videos that are trying to be educational rather than funny. (I could also have gone with this one but that one is kinda... uncomfortable).

Notably, some of his educational shorts will actually cite sources in the description.

Freedomtoons also has a number of what you could call "serieses."

There's the standard toons, like the ones I linked above.

-A common recurring one is Dr. Mac, a parody of left-wing news reports. Like so.

-Another common one is Debates With Strawman, which he describes as "what if the strawman version was the actual argument?" Here's one I found funny.

-A fan-favorite is his "The Debunkers" series. These tend to be long because they're direct responses to specific youtube videos. Here's one.

Freedomtoons is overall a cartoon I wish I had discovered years earlier. I first discovered them because of their videos on gun control (this one was my starter drug). I've always been anti-gun but before Freedomtoons I never knew about the media lies or the google search biases and other stuff. For me this was kind of an eye-opener and helped me learn what to watch out for.

That's not to say I trust everything Seamus says though. Most notably he seems to pretty much always defend right-wingers who get involved in some sort of controversy and just always assumes the left is being idiots or making stuff up... not that I can blame him, but just for example he claimed Trump did nothing illegal during his presidency, and I was like "Wait, what?" I'm... gonna need a second opinion on that one, Seamus.

Doesn't stop me from loving his videos though.

So, what are your favorite Freedomtoons?

He's alright. Doesn't always make me laugh, but he's pretty good at highlighting the irony in a lot of what his targets say and do.

I remember around the time U.S. media kept trying to force people to care about the Capitol incident on January 6th, this was the cartoon that he then made in response to it:

So... question.

Just now I watched the video "Reasons to Vote for Joe Biden." I was having a laugh but then he got to a part where he basically claimed that the allegations against Donald Trump were entirely made-up.

This was actually a recurring theme in Freedomtoons videos--claims that Trump did nothing wrong and that his accusers were never able to back it up with evidence.

This is a point where I had to tilt my head and go "huh?" because I thought there actually was evidence against Trump?

So I'm not sure what the scenario is:

A) Freedomtoons is actually right?
B) Freedomtoons was right at the time but the situation changed and now there is legit evidence of wrongdoing?
C) There was always evidence and Freedomtoons was just such a Trump fan he didn't want to admit it?

So... can someone fill me in?

Which allegations are those? I think some stuff like the Pee Tape and the Sex Tape were never proven and were just passed around to attack his credibility, but thats all i can remember off the top of my head.

The Russian Collusion stuff is the thing Freedomtoons brings up most often (which okay, that may be fake). But other videos are more vague and just say Trump never did anything bad while he was in office.

I think the whole Russian Collusion stuff if undoubtly false or at most overly exaggerated, From what i remember he is still stuck in that 2016/2017 god emperor Trump mindset, where it was a reaction to People on the Left calling Trump everything they could to attack and discredit him.

Bumping this topic because I've started watching Freedomtoons again and this is the best shit ever:

FreedomToons reminds me of this.

Funny this thread got bumped. Last night Youtube randomly recommended me this video:

Even most of the comments are dunking on this guy.

 

[ChampFantana]

If I recall correctly, he had one a while back absolutely shitting on the reddit atheist retards. It was fucking HILARIOUS.

 

[Found the open sauce]

He abandoned libertarianism and his fanbase is calling it an evil, and he did a whole video that vaguely says that it goes against his Catholic teachings. And he wants to jail pornographers for reasons that resonate with John Adams or Thomas Hobbes, something about people being incapable of moderation and responsibility (same with alcohol but arbitrarily exempted guns despite counting too), and him saying that goes completely against everything he used to say about big government or "durr federal institutions will protect you because you can't take care of yourself". His base deems libertarianism as inherently folly and baseless, yet it's the core aesthetic of the American right especially by its deeply Protestant roots. What does libertarianism mean to them, if not simply "respecting individualistic freedoms and not autocratic or despotic"?

A few people in the American Right right now seem disillusioned with libertarianism as an ideal. Its principles has been used to protect interests such as pornography, transgender causes and drug legalization. This can have the appearance of the political philosophy enabling problems and not doing so much to solve them. In a way it can go too "far" even though that may just be the idea reaching its logical conclusion. Compare Freedom Toons with paleolibetarians, who are libertarians that see social conservatism as necessary but do not believe in government intervention to enforce it.

If someone has any moral stance they will always want to stand firm on they will eventually run into conflict with libertarian views if it becomes a problem for their own stances. Where is the line drawn for individuals to do what they want? Should there be a line at all?

the Moral Minority and Freedom will have a big conflict eventually, but "not the dems" has been good enough for a while to keep things smooth and doesn't show signs of slowing down

The American right preaches personal responsibility, strong individualism, minimum to no government control over people's lives and instead letting people think for themselves, and other deeply Protestant norms that are inherently libertarian and also somehow results in the sovereign citizens movement and "my house my rules" which is a completely different lolcow topic. As Seamus is a Catholic, it's associated with deference to big government and a strong central authority as well as obsessive communalism and groupthink. So did he really change his mind on shitting on big gov and the narrative of it taking care of your life and managing responsibilities or irresponsible behavior?

Looks like someone doesn't understand Freedom toons. Its just them complaining about them the entire time.

I have right wing and left wing opinions. Goes on to say nothing but left wing opinions. Also can this man get a fucking tripod. There was less shaky cam in The Blair witch project. Just because he can make short animations. Doesn't mean he can afford to make five episodes of long form cartoons. Those take a lot more time and money. I hate this talking point "they don't care about your life". That's retarded I don't need nor do I care if a celebrity,politician or YouTuber cares about my life. I feel like the only people who say that. Are people who do need those people to care about their life. They expect it which is immature. Overall this video is trash.
