Niko House is giving a masterclass on why nobody should be afraid they're too dumb to become a successful political commentator.

[@Other_Jeremy]

Niko is a perfect example of why free speech absolutism is horse shit. People are dumb. In the free market of ideas, the one who wins is the loudest and most confident, not the one who makes the best point. People buy this shit because they truly believe they can't be manipulated, despite psychology/sociology saying otherwise.

[@OriginalMindTrick]

Destiny is one of the best examples as well. Shallow thinker and uneducated. And don't get me started on how bad he is in the debate format . But this is what happens when you become a successful streamer playing video games and at the same time is highly opinionated and naturally argumentative so you venture out into the real world. You see a whole niche of intellectual wannabe's with some small knowledge on a lot of topics trying to Dunning Kruger themselves into the political zeitgest and notoriety. The internet was a fantastic revolution in that it gave a voice to a lot of people that before couldn't be heard. The bad part is that it gave a lot of people a voice that previously couldn't be heard and shouldn't be heard.

[@dead3y3_YT]

I know this is a joke so I’m wasting my time, but I just wanted to say that I don’t think freedom of speech really applies to talking over each other in a debate. I say this not because most people think that it does in debates, but more because it seems like freedom of speech in debates is sometimes stretched super far to make the opposing side look bad by both sides. As in, when people accuse each other of being hypocritical for supporting free speech while saying people shouldn’t say certain things. "Yes they should have the right, but no they shouldn’t act on that right" is an obvious response. "Shouldn't" in the moral/ethical way, not the legal way. But yeah Niko seemed pretty unreasonable here. Also to the guy above me, I think “wittle” is the spelling to the fake word you’re looking for. You could even get away with “Weetle” maybe, but what the f*** is Wootil? Seek help.

@@josh_harrison Or Niko, they are conservatives in every way but name. Their content is literally right-wing conspiracy theories, anti-vaxer, attacking Dems relentlessly, and either ignoring Republican fu*kery, or shamelessly defending it. They normalise and often work with far-right groups, like the Boogaloo Bums, and Niko, I *think* did a cosy little documentary with some Neo-Nazi POS. When Niko screams like a petulant child about 'cancel culture' and 'censorship' he's not worried in the least about anyone on the left... He's worried about Trump, and conservative commentators. I'm willing to wager he has *NOT SAID A SINGLE WORD,* about the right trying to ban children from receiving an honest, robust, high quality, and well rounded education. Right wing media and Republicans officials are literally force-feeding conservative PARENTS, conspiracy theories, propaganda and brainwashing them into believing that their children are be made to have age inappropriate lessons, on LGBTQ issues, and parents are being cheered on, for their abuse of teachers and the school board. They literally want to have full control of what *everyone's* children are allowed to be taught, they are trying to indoctrinate kids with conservative, Christan, ideologies. But Niko, Jimmy Dore, Glenn Greenwald, Aaron Mate and the rest of Faux leftist, Right-wing apologists, have ZERO to say about it. They just want Trump to be able to insight riots, because they care ONLY about getting money and attention.

Niko's breakdown of "reform 230" literally boils down to the same level of analysis as "People die in car crashes. Why don't they just make roads that people won't crash on?"

[@christophergreen6595]

Next level up: 'there are a lot of car crashes near construction zones. We could surely reduce the accidents by stopping construction.'

[@dininelbourne]

Precisely. Destiny asks for the particular reform that would address the issue, and Niko's idea is to just write it in such a way that makes the bad thing stop. It's so painfully obvious to him that everyone is an idiot for not seeing it. Unbeknownst to him though is that everyone has already arrived at and moved past his point of contention after realizing the complexities and nuance that are completely invisible to him. Confidence in idiocy is perhaps the most destructive condition to ever affect the human mind.
