This video discusses how you getting mad at Andrew Tate, Jake Paul and other such characters is playing right into their hand. There are some controversial takes in there but overall I liked the message.

    Watching this on YouTube just tells YouTube you like talking about far right influencers…

    Don’t feed the trolls

    Is as deep as it needs to be, why make a YouTube video about it?

      […] why make a YouTube video about it?

      Because its a message that was apparently lost when we transitioned from forums to social media. It is also worth to explore why not giving attention to trolling works and how these people benefit from your engagement.

      If you know how the grift works you are less likely to fall for it.

        if this is something you need to be told on the internet you got bigger problems. far right and far left have become meaningless terms mostly i just see it be used as a synonym for bad people i don’t like just like calling someone a Nazi or a racist it just makes you more suspicious of the people doing it because they play with the definitions of words and it makes you automatically pay more attention to how they use these words and if your suspicions are confirmed you can just outright dismiss what this person is saying. this is universal no matter what side or what group does it.
