Early Access: What I Mean When I Say "The Right"
🕑 Added 2018-03-13 17:23:58 +0000 UTC Hey team!Here's the rough cut of the next video, a kind of footnote to The Alt-Right Playbook. I may do a few of these as the series continues, whenever a clarification won't fit into the body of regular video.
Plan is to roll straight into the next Alt-Right Playbook and hopefully have that up by the end of the month as well, which will get us back on schedule! Normally this wouldn't count as a whole month's video, since it's under 10 minutes, but seeing as the talk that serves as December's video was over 30 minutes long, I think I've bought myself some leeway.
I'll poke you again when the final version goes public tomorrow!

They wouldn’t be on the same side of the political spectrum if they didn’t have overlap!

The distinction between "classifying patterns of rhetoric and behavior" vs "classifying atomized individuals" is really valuable imo, so I think this video will be helpful in making that explicit! Reminds me of your Angry Jack vids' take on morality; that it's more helpful to focus on the state of the world than the "permanent record" of an individual.

Thanks! I will add it to my ever-growing list of research.
This seems great, not just as a defense of your language use, but as a clarification to the problems of Alt-Right rhetoric. Good work!

Great topic! I watched a documentary recently called "The Brainwashing of my Dad" which, while fairly low budget and a bit cheesy, has some great info on the history of the Right forming these tactics and others since the 1980s Reagan Era. I recommend it. Keep it up, Danskin! <a href="http://www.thebrainwashingofmydad.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.thebrainwashingofmydad.com/</a>

The Alt-Right Footnote? Edit: Agreed! I'd pretty much taken what Ian said here as read, but given how charged <em>all</em> of this is, it's worth being very specific.
The Alt-Right Appendix, then? EDIT: After watching the video I can certainly say this definitely helped clear things up for me, or at the very least, specified what exactly what you mean. That was the intention you had for the video, yeah? So great job!
