  1. The "frankenfood" is actually fine.
    The part they don't want you to open your mouth about is the terrible business practices, such as making the plants purposefully infertile so you have to keep buying monsanto seeds, the part where you get sued if a monsanto crop accidentally grows on your terrain, the ol and good monopoly by infinite patenting everything...

    But the strategy of calling their things frankenfood is not that all a bad strategy.

    It's a much better option than what youtube will most likely do, maybe even due the advertisers being assholes.

    Burying is giving em validation, which is what i'm against.

    They will just get stronger, as i pointed out, the LAST thing you want to do is to give conspiracy nuts an "official validation", some authority trying to shut em up.
    You need to ridicule em, make their shit sound like things that only really nutty people believe, which well it IS actually the case.

    I think the ideal solution would be to well, use the recommendation list to show debunking videos, so you can get the people "on the edge".
    But i would be smarter and pick videos debunk videos from people with close opinions to the user, rather than getting the complete opposite.

    Averages, specially shit like racial averages are pretty bad tools to judge individuals.
    You don't get any richer just because there are a hundred Adrian Mr.Billionaires on "your team".

    The same kind of logic could (and is) used by very bad people to argue things such as exterminating all the black people.
    While most rich people are white, most white people aren't rich, as most black people are not violent criminals and so forth.
    Beware of the retarded mindflip.

  10. The corporate machine is coming, its churning, its eating everything, replacing man by machine, buying the end of the actual market so it can elevate into actual kingdoms, and then a man, an horrible man appeared, but the corporations told people to not vote on this man, the plastic face celebrities of the machine told people to not vote this man, so they voted this man in a hope it would break the machine somehow.
    And you can't see it because the corporate machine is smearing your face with really shitty racial politics, it's the blacks, its the gays, its the whites, but when the machine arrive, no matter your color, it will crush you, equality will be reached by leveling everyone into a blood puddle on the ground.

    I don't know if this will be the case.
    But there is a much weirder and terrible thing lurking over the UBI society.
    The people that offer services for the money are the people that define what money is, and if you take out a large chunk of the population from the market, you also take out their control over what money is, and i don't think it's quite a good idea to let for example monsanto define what money is.

    How long until you declare jews as nazis for not following your exact political beliefs?

  22. He's not far right enough for the nazis.
    Just check the constant sargon hate threads on /pol/ to see.
    And their constant attacks on him, such as digging down all his videos to find the one time he used the N word to rat him to patreon and get him cut.

  23. They constantly hunt down anyone that can deliver a "middle of the road" solution, such as Sargon of Akkad, because those kind of people steal their potential targets.

  24. As was pointed below, capturing the ones on the brink is probably the primary goal.
    But you probably can crack a "modern nazi", if you attack it's core beliefs rather than just saying the old "the nazi is bad".
    Many of those people are in because they were convinced that they're under attack for being white and the solution for it is the final solution.
    So you either prove they're not under attack (hard), or you prove that the final solution don't work and they should look for a way that does actually work (easier).
