Leftists can't argue. This is literal circular logic. "It's a hate movement because it's a hate movement. You are pushing your own agenda because it is obvious you're pushing your own agenda."

You know what they say about playing chess with a pigeon?

They are retarded NPCs. The Journos told them gamergayt bad, and so gaymergate bad. that is the extent of their fucked up monkeybrain thought process. If NPCs could fathom that the journos could be lying to them there would be no NPCs.

From his last video, he made a tier-list of political ideologies

Actually no, I've never heard this one.

On Topic:

This is a video I wish had existed years ago when third-wave feminism was beginning to be a thing.

I think "Cultural Appropriation" is one of those things I think even wokes realize is dumb to get upset about.

But Mentis takes a .... unique approach by talking about it more as an intellectual property issue. Which I'm not sure what he's doing with that.

I remember he said he is against the current copyright laws.

Yeah I think he brings that up here as well.

And like, yeah copyright needs to be overhauled, in the US especially. It just felt weird to mix that with cultural appropriation.

I just got this uploaded to PreserveTube, might upload some more later.

Fun video though I know some Kiwis are gonna hate what he says at 23:40

@Lemmingwiser wanna comment?

EDIT: To be completely fair though, there's things he says that I'm struggling with.

@Lemmingwiser wanna comment

I've listened to it and it would be easy to skewer. But first answer me this. We previously engaged. My conclusion was that you didn't engage intellectually honestly. You seemed to think I didn't understand you.

What could be gained from me skewering this less than midwits opinions and half baked arguments?

Give a good personal answer and I'll show the errors in what he says.

In essence I'm asking two questions. Why do you care? why should I care?

Mostly I was curious. I had begun to wonder if our last engagement was the result of some crossed wires.

But if you're already dismissing Mentis as a "midwit" (presumably for saying Racism is Bad) then.... nah, I think I've seen everything I need to from you.

 

[Lemmingwiser]

I didn't dismiss him, I wanted to know if you genuinely wanted to investigate or not.

If you dismiss things for calling something midwit, why don't you apply the same thing to him? I just mirrored his comment.

Btw I would take "I'm curious, and I think you might give a new perspective to consider" as a valid answer to expand.

 

[skykiii]

You seemed to think I didn't understand you.

Because you seemed not to.

If you dismiss things for calling something midwit, why don't you apply the same thing to him? I just mirrored his comment.

See this is part of the problem.

No, you did not "just mirror his comment," and that you think you did is quite telling. In our last engagement you had trouble understanding distinctions and nuances, and this just continues that.

Here's a hint: Mentis doesn't use "midwit" to mean someone is stupid, nor is it just a snarl for anyone who disagrees with him. Look at the very theme of this video, which is ranking beliefs according to what level of intelligence people can have while still honestly believing these things (not just declaring they're all dumb).

You by contrast watched five minutes of a video (of a youtuber I'm sure you had no previous familiarity with) and declared him "less than a midwit" because something he said offended you.

See the difference?

EDIT: Thread Tax but also relevant:

You don't know why, because I haven't expanded on it. That you are now filling in what you presume my motivation is rather than asking for it, shows the futility it is even for this minor engagement with you.

Note, you were unwilling to engage with sources other people shared in the previous thread, but I actually did take the time to listen and understand what you shared with me. Something to think about.

 

[skykiii]

Are you saying I would've been wrong?

We might should take this to PMs or profile pages because like, at this point its clearly gonna be a back and forth between me and you have nothing to do with Mentiswave.

 

[Lemmingwiser]

Are you saying I would've been wrong?

Categorically. My pms are open.

I'll ask a few questions openly but I'll keep them constrained to an actual discussion of Mentiswave, since he's the thread topic. Anything that's not related to Mentis will go in a PM, should I choose to send one (I have not made up my mind on that point).

You've declared Mentiswave is "less than a midwit."

1. Have you seen any videos of his besides this one?

2. Did you watch the entire video or just the part I called attention to?

I'll admit I may have knee-jerked earlier, because someone calling Mentis "less than a midwit" is quite a bold statement. Not that he's a great intellect or anything like that, but he's clearly put a lot of thought and research into the things he says.

To be frank, I am curious what you believe he got wrong.

 

[Lemmingwiser]

No

2. Did you watch the entire video or just the part I called attention to?

Just the racism segment (more or less).

That's nice of you to admit.
