His does anyone watch this garbage?

Its just a woman having an emotional temper tantrum with edits to people nodding off randomly?

[–] 4grams@awful.systems 2 points 1 day ago

The worst part is, so many people we all know, watch that and get upset by the uppity guy who refuses to listen to facts.

The outrage in the comments is exactly why videos like this exist. This is reality TV.

Jubilee is garbage. No one’s point of view changes by watching 69 republicans debate a socialist tech-humanologist. It does make whoever owns Jubilee money though, so there is a net positive, for someone.

One cannot reason with a republican. They do not base their arguments on facts, figures, and good faith. They will provide their own (dubious) numbers, bogus studies, etc, to bolster their emotionally charged positions. They parrot what the talking heads on the actual fake news channels tell them to. Brain dead.

The only time I've watch these are breakdowns of debating tactics. There was also the one with Peterson where he showed he only did Mott and Bailey fallacies

The motte-and-bailey fallacy (named after the motte-and-bailey castle), also called the castle and courtyard, is a form of argument and an informal fallacy where an arguer conflates two positions that share similarities: one modest and easy to defend (the "motte") and one much more controversial and harder to defend (the "bailey").[1] The arguer advances the controversial position, but when challenged, insists that only the more modest position is being advanced.[2][3] Upon retreating to the motte, the arguer may claim that the bailey has not been refuted (because the critic refused to attack the motte)[1] or that the critic is unreasonable (by equating an attack on the bailey with an attack on the motte).[4]

When he was pushed to defend his statements, he'd deflect by arguing semantics and definitions of what words mean while he himself refused to really define anything. He just kept disagreeing with the opponents definitions.Then he tried make the debate about that.

It's crazy how she is using words given to her but incorrectly applied them to every instance. She even knows gish galloping! But she doesn't understand that a person asking one question to talk about one point is the opposite of gish galloping.

[–] NotEasyBeingGreen@slrpnk.net 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I came to say this!

A Gish gallop is when you throw out a bunch of false claims right after each other forcing your opponent to refute each one. Explaining the true situation take much longer, and makes you look like you are trying to manipulate facts.

Oh, so what the screechy woman was doing?

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 44 points 2 days ago

This woman thinks being louder and more emotional makes her right. She just looks insane.

[–] toomanypancakes@crazypeople.online 36 points 2 days ago (4 children)

This was an infuriating watch. I would have told that woman to stop fucking yelling so many times, I admire his calm.

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago

That show is by and large a waste meant to produce clips like these.

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 days ago

They're kept angry on purpose and now it's difficult for them to stop

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 days ago

Knowing jubilee they're probably kick him out if that happened and call him the uncivil one

I'm going to need some dental work from grinding my teeth listening to her repeat "you don't know economy" so many times.

[–] Bad_Engineering@fedia.io 6 points 2 days ago

I don't reccomend watching the whole episode then. Idk if I can even call her the worst of the bunch, there were so many awful people to pick from.

[–] waltersf@bookwyr.me 17 points 2 days ago

Yep.
This is American.
Mythic “truth” believers
vs
people that still engage in demagoguery.

This is exactly why you have a Nazi nation.

If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the law and the facts are against you, pound the table and yell like hell.

They would rather keep doubling down than admit they were tricked.

If the history records make it, the kids will have so many questions about “what happened to them?”

And we’ll have no good answers

[–] Bad_Engineering@fedia.io 8 points 2 days ago

I think lead poisoning makes up a sizeable part of the answer.

[–] apftwb@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I hate this format with a passion. Nothing was gained by anyone.

[–] NoFearFrontier@feddit.org 8 points 2 days ago
