You can get experience with one person.

And, like I said, deep connection takes time. I speak from experience here — nothing in my life has ever matched the bliss of having been with a woman for years and seen every side of her. Great art comes close, but even the best falls just short of a long-lived love.

He never did? The Kenosha Kid?

>not wanting to get pegged by an alpha female
Never gonna make it.

>implying this looks even remotely like propaganda
There's literally an entire section where he goes
>well, if you're a pacifist, this pro-antifa argument doesn't hold water
>well, if you believe optics are important enough, this pro-antifa argument doesn't hold water
>well, if you're okay with the current social order, this pro-antifa argument doesn't hold water
and so on. He's very open to good-faith discussion, and he acknowledges that not everyone will side with antifa.

This isn't the greatest point in the world, but it's true. Antifa pick their enemies based on actions; fascists pick their enemies based on cultural affiliation. There is some nuance this quote leaves out, because it is possible to disassociate from a culture and become a "friend" of fascists, but that's much harder to do than just not dog-whistling.

ideachanel was pretty good, and nerdwriter is mediocre. If you want real youtube pseudointellectual slop, the Pop Culture """Detective""" is your guy.

>ideology = philosophy
This, but unironically. An ideology is a framework for thought, within which you can do philosophy. Anyone who tells you philosophy can "free" you from ideology is either stupid or lying. It can only let you move from one ideology to another.

>an intellectual pursuit which has been disproven (communism, leftist economical policies, etc.)
If you honestly believe any of these things have been "disproven," you need to learn some basic terminology. Hint: A lot of people would argue that the phrase "leftist economic policy" is an oxymoron.

Eh, he's really just recapping arguments that other people have made. I'd be more curious to see what he, personally, wants to contribute to the field.

He does overdo the dramatic flair sometimes, but if you look past that, his arguments are reasonable. The "repeating things" argument in particular is interesting, if you understand it.
>people say something untrue over and over
>they continue doing this even after being shown it is untrue, without greatly revising their statements
>therefore, they're not saying it because they want to have an argument about what is/isn't true
>but if they aren't interested in an argument, what do they want to do?
>the thing they're saying is highly emotionally charged
>hey, maybe that means they want an emotional response
>hey, maybe they're using appeals to emotion to make people side with them
Not much of a leap to be desu with you.

>Who advocates genocide, even? Milo? No. I don't see Ku Klux Klan rallies being raided, I see university speech being stopped.
The idea here is that Milo has more influence than the KKK, so he's more "damaging" (from the antifa perspective). Although he doesn't explicitly advocate genocide, he DOES repeat some of the KKK's talking points. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.

>The entire book just came off as a collection of rambling tangents and the whole conspiracy about the play and the stamps went completely over my head.
That's the point. That and some nifty physics metaphors.
