    How’s clicking on articles about a bigot and showing your outrage on social media actually combat the bad actor?

    I am all about improving the tactics but I don’t see this one as viable? What is the advice?

      I can’t watch the video for you, friend. If you’re curious, watch it. If you’re not, then don’t.

        Sounds like you are more interested in promoting the video than engaging in discussion at hand tbh

          I don’t see any reason why I should transcribe a video for you, when it’s freely available to watch at your leisure. I find the video series insightful when it comes to understanding and combatting bigotry and those that champion it-- and for sure, you may not. I only wanted to bring it to your attention because it directly applies to the discussion, and assuming your end goal is combatting bigotry, you might be interested in knowing that the way you’re going about it isn’t likely to work.

          the video provides context for the conversation. if you’re not interested in doing the work in order to participate, fine, but demanding that they transcribe possibly thousands of words just because you refuse to watch the video isn’t reasonable.

            If someone can’t express a thesis in a few sentences, I am questioning their ability to do critical analysis.

            That’s lazy, and frankly, unprofessional way to conduct an online discussion.

              they have no obligation to do exceed to your entitled demands, and this is not a “profession” but a casual conversation. again, if you refuse to make the effort to do what’s required to participate in it, then that is your choice. don’t complain when others won’t do that work for you.

              grow up.
