The funny thing is about this whole situation is how quickly Noah proved his main points wrong immediately after posting this video. He talks about "debate bros" but all it took was one debate with Vaush about this video and he walked back everything he said on a video that apparently took him a month to make. If he had just done the thing he was so against in the video and talked to Vaush or Xanderhal when they were live and had a discussion about it he would have saved himself a month of his life but it shows how just doing quick edits with some gags is enough to be considered a "video essay"

[@chanr9531]

Debate changed his mind, shocking almost as if debate is a legitimate way to convey your ideas to other parties.

[@Megelos]

[@UsoMerit]

Also it wasn't even really an exaggeration. All Vaush did was ask what PF means by "having the right to live without their oppressors" and that the deportation of an ethnic group isn't justified. That's literally just asking: what do you mean by your statement and what are the direct implications, not some slippery slope type around 10 corners, like noah implies.

[@deceam208]

I'm pretty sure Noah's just strictly against making inductive jumps to unstated conclusions (whether using Hypos or not). The saddest part about this is he would absolutely be fine with this if it were used against someone he disagrees with. A good example of this is Jordan Peterson. Anyone who has an issue with JP has to read into his rhetoric (the cherry picking of descriptive facts) and find some sort of conclusion to attack since he famously never makes prescriptions (i.e., he technically never says anything offensive just like Professor Flower technically never said she would be in favour of a white genocide). To be clear I don't know enough about PF to make an a half decent guess at her beliefs, just what I gathered from the clip.

[@Ed-en8br]

[@e.d.5766]

If you want a counterbalance character to ensure that you don't come across as bad faith, maybe have someone who disagrees with you at least proof read the script. The problem with having a fictional character you alone wrote calling you out for being bad faith is that you wouldn't say something that you think is bad faith, so this character is useless.

[@jeffwells641]

That's my biggest issue, I want to call it laziness but I almost fell like these guys just don't have the depth of experience to recognize glaring flaws in their arguments. They stay in a bubble that just hides these flaws, so when their videos break through to a wider audience, they get torn apart because they are weak. I like video essays, you can pack way more nuanced information in an essay, but your information and arguments need to be correct. I get not being able to argue nearly any subject at the drop of a hat like a debate bro, and having no desire to do so either, that's a particular skill not everyone has. But if you can't even intelligently discuss a topic you supposedly spent anywhere from several hours to several days researching and formulating arguments for, that's a real problem. All you need to do to make a good argument is make it valid (conclusions follow from premises) and make sure it's sound (the premises are true). You can still be wrong, (you can miss one or more premises that apply and change the conclusion) but this is a solid foundation for a discussion. If that's too much to handle then you really probably shouldn't be making video essays. You don't know the subject well enough, or you're bad at logic. Either one is bad for information heavy essays.

[@sathrielsatanson666]

I was thinking the same. But yeah, that would be a good idea if that was his objective but he just wanted to deflect criticism about being bad faith while still being bad faith.

[@RanEncounter]

Yeah this. He is literally acknowledging he is bad faith and rationalizing it by creating an imaginary "good faith" character to keep him in check. It is like he does not understand how bias works.

[@egusisoup1826]

Lol, he doesn’t keep that character for counterbalance, he does so for humor. It allows him to say edgier things without the perception of fully endorsing them, so he can get squeeze out entertainment value while giving himself the easy out of “it was just a joke”. This is how he gets away with doing everything besides explicitly calling Vaush and others white supremacist, racists. His character isn’t there to steel man him, but to slightly dilute the venom of his words to make it more digestible.

[@bluemethetys9267]

Yeah, and now we unfortunately find Destiny misundertanding Zižek's point. Zižek is NOT saying ceding any ground on "descriptive reality" means you lost the debate. In fact, he's said in the past that even if all that Nazis said about Jews were true, their ideology would still nonetheless have a pathological structure. His point in the clip is that arguing against the empirical claims of Nazis is not sufficient in combatting them. The necessary fight to have is beyond empirical claims and is more metaphysical (in layman terms, it would be about morals).

[@pellelindtner3488]

@@bluemethetys9267 While I have no doubt this was Slavoj Zizek's argument was what you say, it appeared like he was saying "the real question isn't whether or not what the Nazis say is true, the real question is why they need the fantastical jew to support there politics." The quote is paraphrased, but here is a timestamp: 55:43 In this quote, or what he said in the video, it comes off as though he is saying "yes, that's true, but why does your argument need it to be true." which is a goofy question.

The Arguments against the Vaush/Noncompete debate are so genuinely heartbreaking I almost couldn't believe what I was hearing and needed to rewatch it twice to make sure he was really saying what he was saying. Jews have a deep history with banking in europe, it's not controversial, it's true, everyone knows it. Seeing someone get so upset about basic history, denying reality and then getting upset at vaush for even bringing it up is the kind of behavior that has ALWAYS emboldened the right, it makes them look like the good guys because they're willing to acknowledge the truth about basic facts and it makes the left look super sketchy when you could just argue against something instead of burying their heads in the sand. If you're too afraid to argue then it looks like you're hiding something when there's nothing to hide, it's just true and you can just argue the points and if you're well-informed and can argue at all, you'll always be in the right because you're defending the rights of the Jewish people to not be mass murdered which is fundamentally a reasonable position. Saying "It's a sensitive topic" and sidestepping something isn't an argument, because in reality people don't respect sensitivity to something just because you say it's sensitive, if they want to talk about it they're gonna say. "I don't care, I want to talk about this now.". If you just say turn them down without a good reason they'll just continue that conversation without you and because of how the internet works, it'll most likely be with people that already agree with them because they don't need you.

[@sathrielsatanson666]

When you don’t understand history but try to argue. It’s infuriating because like you said, who cares if they held more banking positions, that doesn’t give you the right to mass murder them.

Point the finger at right wingers and cry if we apply a 1/00th of that criticism to ourselves. It seems like that's why the vast majority of online discourse is just memes and buzzwords. They've managed to foster a community of people that are terrified of criticism.

[@lilstevechan8427]

It's true. The leftist space people like Noah, Professor Flowers, Noncompete etc want is one where hard questions are never answered, people get banned for bringing up facts and hypocrisy is fine as long as it paints the left as good and the right as bad. My best guess is that these people know that debate would tear apart their worldviews and they want to protect the echochamber. It's why they fall apart so thoroughly when arguing against Destiny and Vaush and have to run from the discussion to save face. The online left needs a reformation to be more optics-driven and less acting ironically detached while you call everyone a fascist.

This video does a great job of showing how debates can be bad whilst also being a demonstration of how video essays can be bad. Which is a great example of how nothing he criticised the debate space for is different in the video essay space. Debates necessarily require two conflicting sides, which is a difference, but video essayists can criticise other people's content (like he does in the video), and in that case the only difference is that one side doesn't get to defend themselves. In a debate, instead of a bad faith character mocking people who want good faith conversations, it would be someone who actually disagrees with you and actually holds you accountable for being disingenuous or dishonest, even when you aren't aware of it. And a good video essay should at least try to address conflicting viewpoints, so the only video essays where unfairly framing the opposing argument isn't just as incentivised as it is in debates are bad video essays. A lot of his criticisms of debates are genuinely bad things that actually happen (even if most of his examples were pretty bad) the problem is that they aren't criticising debates, they're criticising all political and in this case metapolitical discussion.

I'm pretty sure that Jewish banking families had a lot of economic control over Europe in general. I asked my grandfather about it before he died and he agreed it was true, he was a Jewish man from Germany btw, his father fled Germany when he was a baby and joined the British military to fight. The way I always saw it is that yes, the justification claimed was factually true, they did have a lot of economic control over Germany, but its never going to be a true justification for what they did. Most German Jews were not bankers or accountants or any of that shit, they were just normal working class citizens trying to get by. So to blame ALL Jewish people for the actions of a tiny portion of the population who are indeed immersed in the banking family businesses is idiotic and unfair based on any ethical standard as well as their own claimed standards. Also, a group having economic power doesn't give you the right to murder them and their entire race. But socialists sometimes don't agree with that latter argument so I see why they are trying so hard to weasel out of the entire discussion, they agree with some of the justifications a don't want to end up looking bad.

Terminó oficialmente con el estado de guerra entre la Alemania del segundo Reich y los Aliados de la Primera Guerra Mundial. Fue firmado el 28 de junio de 1919 en la Galería de los Espejos del Palacio de Versalles, exactamente cinco años después del atentado de Sarajevo en el que fue asesinado el archiduque Francisco Fernando, (en alemán: Franz Ferdinand) la principal causa de la Primera Guerra Mundial. A pesar de que el armisticio fue firmado meses antes (11 de noviembre de 1918) para poner fin a las hostilidades en el campo de batalla, se necesitaron seis meses de negociaciones en la Conferencia de Paz de París para concluir el tratado de paz. El Tratado de Versalles entró en vigor el 10 de enero de 1920.

Most contemporary criticism of Hitler/Mein Kampf was focussed on economical/ "goubernatorial" issues and the danger of war in general and did not adress the two main points of the holocaust or the particular brutality of the war in the east (which were also visible, but either not adressed or not thought throu emough, which is my point).

The argument "No amount of violence today to colonizers can compare to the violence experienced by those colonized in the past" feels extremely non-sequitur. You could literally make the same argument about anything, "I can murder any number of people today that I want because it could never compare to the holocaust" like yes, that statement is probably true but the latter doesn't justify the former. Yes, colonization involved many heinous acts of violence; yes, it was largely perpetrated by white Europeans; no, acts of violence in the past do not and can not justify acts of violence in the present or future. We do not perform "eye for an eye" justice in America, or in most "civilized" countries; largely because its a poor system of justice, especially when perpetrated on individuals disjointed from the original perpetration of the crime.

Me and Destiny both groaned "Oh God" in unison at the start there. It's a symptom of binging.

52:40 Ok. Based purely on the clip of his video, Noncompete is claiming that historically, if and when enslaved people rose up and liberated themselves then it was "probably" justified. Vaush is using the example of the Nazis, and how they felt they needed to rise up against the perceived Jewish threat. Noncompete even mistakens Vaush's point and asserts that the people who rose against the nazis were justified, and Vaush reiterates the hypothetical. Except it wasn't a hypothetical. Vaush was comparing Nonconpete's justification for violence to how the nazi's rationalized theirs. Then, the argument becomes about whether the nazi's were justified in their rationalization, which used the Jewish people as a rallying point for their movement. The thing is, it is irrelevant as to the reasons the nazis used when galvanizing and as to their merits (which there were none), the point is they believed themselves to be a marginalized group, convinced their society of this point, and proceeded to commit horrific crimes. What Noncompete should have done is argue that: 1) As a political group, the nazis were a minority. 2) By virtue of being a political entity they managed to climb out of being a minority their society. So much so that they managed to edge out other political parties. 3) The Jewish people were not a political entity, they were an ethnicity. And unlike political parties with racist ideologies, an enthnicity can't become a majority overnight if they are a minority in the nation to begin with. The nazi's racist ideolgy was born out of lack of national identity and a general link to German-ness, as they nation was still a baby at this point. Case and point, Hitler was an Austrian that identified with the Germans. This guy is flat out misrepresenting Vaush here. Also, say what you want about the debate community, but at least they are willing to defend their ideas. You know, instead of reframing of their arguments.

I'm not saying I'm pro genocide guys, geez. Now to be clear, my kind has suffered so intensely under the boot of sustained that NO FORM OF RETRIBUTION COULD EVER HOPE TO COMPETE WITH IT. ANY RETALIATION PALES IN COMPARISON TO HOW WE HAVE BEEN WRONGED.

I watched this video when it dropped as I'm subbed to Noah, and I just felt like it's rehashing points that are years old that will never conclude, this debate vs nodebate argument is just something that's going to plague the left and progressive thought forever now, as someone who honestly likes watching debate content, I find this loop frustrating.

[@monkusaugustus4017]

Bro said Black nationalism like it isn't ethnonationalism too but i guess if it's against white people or more specifically white men then even genocide and segregation are okay

[@fatnose0]

Okay srsly tho can we stop with the "their community harassed them" Type stuff everytime a video response happens if THAT'S what they mean by it?? He just showed screenshots of KZbin comments saying she's wrong or mocking her take. No ones making death threats, being racist, sexist or anything.

[@Mikey8028]

Running as fast as I can to tell jon tron that everything he said in that debate has been retroactively proven to be okay and destiny has been nerf'd. The "Jon never actually held those opinions, Destiny made him say that stuff with voodoo debate skills"

If this dude unironically said that I had a great channel, I'd be like, ".......F***!”
