🕑 Added 2024-09-18 19:35:39 +0000 UTCHeya team! Here's the next Alt-Right Playbook. Assuming nobody catches some glaring error, this will go public Friday-ish, but, for now, it's for you and Nebula only!

(it was not intentional)
Ian Danskin
y... yes... definitely intentional
Jason Schneiderman
The dropped "L" was intentional? That's on me for not getting it, then. Carry on.
Samus Aran
I suppose an important difference is that the fans of right-wing figures largely don't care about the figure behaving ethically or morally, so those figures are less likely to treat criticism as a threat to their reputation.
Kait Hatch
I thought it was obvious.

GAH! This so much! Thank you for once again succinctly getting at a thing that has irked me for YEARS but I've not been able to articulate the why for. This is one of those questions I see and hear and can tell it's loaded and a trap and now I can direct folks to a very clear explanation of exactly how it functions as a trap.
Ian Danskin
uhhhh... that was intentional...?
Ian Danskin
so I roughly structured this as "put yourself in the shoes of a hypothetical person" then "put yourself in my shoes" and finally "return to your own shoes" for the ending, but maybe I didn't make the transition smoothly
Ian Danskin
1) relishes the opportunity to turn this into an interminable debate 2) calls you a monster for even implying the criticism could be true 3) stonewalling (there is no criticism/I already responded to it/hey look over there!)

I think this is aimed at other fans of leftist or progressive content creators, like us: don't fall for this, don't chime in.
Shisa Sensation
Like, for EEL though
AaronRobertoMusic
The outro song was great, nice choice
Josh Grey
The simple framework given here is really useful. Excellent work.
Samus Aran
I'm wondering: What happens when someone asks a reactionary right-wing figure "Why don't you respond to criticism?"
Musicombo
Great content as usual!! Out of curiosity, why isn't the last point "don't *answer* the question unless you have three yesses"? Is there something I'm missing?

A really good video for four eels in a trench coat. :) (Good video for a human too btw)
Charlotte KL
Watched twice, hits the nail on the head. I've seen this so often - also directed at other members of the audience in the style of "Don't you know what X has done and never addressed?", in the style of dividing people on the left from their community (as described in a previous video).
Sara Ezzat
Love this so much
Jason Schneiderman
I don't know if it's glaring, but the title of the presentation at 4:30 says "TO QUICKY SUMMARIZE."
Charlotte KL
New ARP, fantastic! Can't wait to watch when I get home! :)
Homebrew Futures
Really good and good to see a new entry in the series. One potential error is at 00:20, it seems like the "lot going on here" bit feels like it's delayed by about 4 seconds. Maybe it's intentional but it jumps out at me as out of step with the rhythm by which you tend to sync text gags to your narration.
Rodrigo Deodoro
I thought the transition where the text "Why don't you respond to criticism?" showed up as different types of comments on different UIs was pretty slick.
Geneva
I'd assume you would make fantastic sushi, but I guess I've never had any of your cooking.
Michael Gallant
That was fun. Love the eels-in-a-trench-coat/Obama birther analogy!
Ultra_Man
A very good guide for upcoming leftist content creators, thank you as always Danskin

Awesome! Every addition to the series is a banger
