please just stop accepting debate requests i don’t care if you’re hakim or noah samsen you will not outdebate a debatebro, even if you’re right, that’s their realm
mf seriously went “stop watching debate content” then went on vaush to facilitate the creation of debate content
Yeah “political” youtube is basically tiger king at this point, theyre all small business owners fighting to compete in this “marketplace of ideas”, its just entertainment, manipulation, lies and cults of personality.
To outdebate a debatebro you must become one, then amass a sufficient arsenal of zingers so that you can rise above, simultaneously not taking them seriously and yet schooling them at the same time.
You must also understand that the purpose of the debate is to make the other person look like shit and for you to look competent and winning. Being right isn’t even a primary concern, it’s just a weapon. It’s a propaganda performance.
He would have been infinitely cooler by just saying ‘fuck you nerd’ when asked to debate. They’re just performative bullshit. You’re not liking the ideas. You’re liking the person.
Bullying > Debating
