Skip to 1:55 if you're not interested in the racist version of Santa that haunts naughty chiltren in Belgium and the Netherlands.

Well, if I can give some advice, it would be not to make a politically charged video like you just did, while at the same time you tell us 'why you shouldn't discuss politics.' It's really counterintuitive what you are doing here (unless that was your goal, of course).

[@KenDevo]

@Weda01 Maybe I should have titled it why you shouldn't discuss it at the dinner table or with friends, but that's a bit long...

[@Weda01]

@@KenDevo Another title would have been helpful. If you prefer not to change the title, I would personally have attempted to convey the message using more generalities or hypothetical scenarios. This approach would focus more on the topic at hand (avoiding political discussions) rather than turning it into a personal political message. Just a tip.

[@KenDevo]

@@Weda01 OK, I've taken your advice. You would be interested in a more general video on this subject?

[@Weda01]

@@KenDevo Sure, not specifically on this subject necessarily but in general, if it contains politics, try to make it a generalization. The most popular channels are the ones that keep their personal politics out unless you specifically want to be a political channel, then it's another story.

Something is "political" when it doesn't disagree with the viewer's politics. Don't let jerks make the rules.

[@KenDevo]

Who are you referring to as jerks?

Learn to feel people out if you value their friendship/company (Feel free to launch in to your opinion full-bore if you don't). Steer clear of contentious stuff unless/until you know it won't cause issues (this is usually when the relationship is more established). Bear in mind that she will have been propagandized and you should consider how much you have been too. Take everything with a pinch of salt in the modern world. Also remember people are not their government.

@@chaos.corner Good points. I didn't initially realize that what I was saying was getting to her to that extent. Had I known I would have stayed clear of it since I didn't want to affect our friendship or make her feel bad the first night that she arrived. It was just hard to believe how she could have that standpoints and I wasn't expecting it so I was eager to find out...

Personally, I think It's good that this person displayed their idiocy to you. Now you can make an educated decision that a relationship/friendship with this person is not worth it. I wouldn't want that kind of person in my life.

@@ToxicPlayer3597 I think she's very intelligent, but maybe she has been brainwashed by the propaganda there...
