Orb Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I found this channel yesterday and it's really good. For anyone who wants to learn more about how the libertarian right view things or if you're just curious check it out, it's called MentisWave. It's fucking awesome. So satisfying to see content like this when there's so many breadtuber leftist channels all over the place. Here's just one video that was very illuminating: Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists. Since I linger in neither condition, eyes cannot see me. If hundreds of birds strew my path with flowers, such praise would be meaningless." - A Comment on the 8th Ox Herding Picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orb Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 I'll add more videos that are interesting as time goes on. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation.

Mandy Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 @Orb Interested in hearing what in particular you find helpful or clarifying about those videos? Quote Mention Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orb Posted October 17, 2023 Author Share Posted October 17, 2023 @Mandy I find the videos interesting to watch. I wouldnt use the words helpful or clarifying as i dont watch them for those purposes, mostly for learning, seeing current events through a right wing point of view, also questioning the common views from the left too. I really like questioning everything. Ill get really into a certain topic or "side", then ill go to the other side and and see what they have to offer that way I have a full view of both sides. I spent years watching left wing content and now I'm watching right wing content to see what's their side of the story. It's been very eye opening actually. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone.

If there's a disagreement with what's shared in this thread, express whats disagreeable about the videos themselves instead of making some kind of comment about the OP.

Jonas Long Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 No fucking way I'd allow this shit on my forum is all I'm saying. I can't address every problem, because that would take forever and it's obviously pointless with you anyway. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orb Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) @Jonas Long -Denying cited studies/sources when they are shared under every video. -Desiring to completely eliminate certain ideas from a forum ("No fucking way I'd allow this shit on my forum is all I'm saying. ") simply because its "wrong-think", or not the right thing to believe (according to you). -Calling the videos "Toxic Propaganda" when not one of them has been seen entirely. These kinds of attitudes/thoughts are authoritarian fundamentally. Which is the irony... Edited October 18, 2023 by Orb Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation.

Mandy Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I find it odd that libertarianism is supposedly more right wing when it's core thing is non-government intervention, and each party is all about how the government should intervene. It's also weird to me that conservatives aren't really about being conservative when it comes to spending, it's just that they don't want to spend it on people. It's also strange that democrats are the progressive party yet have remained the same for so long, and it's the Republican party that looks nothing at all like what it looked like 20 years ago. It's really like a big joke. 😂 Quote Mention Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
