Bret Stephens writing a version of that "Jordan Peterson on the Jewish Question" video that youtube spent half a year trying to make me watch, because notions of genetic racial superiority are historically very benign and helpful for Jewish people.

It would be funny if he's angling for an anti-PC, fired4truth martyr grift but the NYT keeps employing him. But he's probably just bad.

Quote

Bret Stephens’ article was ridiculous, eugenicist garbage. But calls to boycott the newspaper won’t help

Quote

Sadly, the morning the column debuted, Twitter commentary lurched from biting and witty takedowns of Stephens to calls to “boycott” the New York Times over the foolishness of one of dozens of contributors to but one section of a massive multimedia news and entertainment company. (Disclosure: I occasionally write op-eds for the Times.)

Although the harsh criticism of Stephens and the Times was completely warranted, in other respects the response – especially the calls for boycott – was misguided. Such posing not only simulates real political action, it displaces it, satiating one’s need to feel like one has done something. This is an example of a non-boycott boycott, narcissistic stunts we have seen emerge with targets like Starbucks and Facebook in recent years.

Before anyone says “What about South Africa?” or “What about the lunch counters during the civil rights movement?”, yes, specific, targeted, organized boycotts that generate real financial harm and demand serious sacrifice or risk by participants can effect change. But none of that is happening with these hashtag eruptions.

Potentially effective boycotts are focused, local, disciplined, and have specific, articulated goals and demands. They must bring public shame and measurable financial harm to a firm. A few people tweeting “I’m going to stop subscribing to the Times because of Bret Stephens” does not rise to the level of successful social movements or tactics.

If one believes, in the absence of evidence, that a few dozen Twitter users canceling subscriptions to the New York Times would affect decisions at the Times, one does not understand the incentives embedded in the attention economy. The Times, like most other globally available web publications (including Breitbart and any number of white supremacist sites), benefits from umbrage as much as applause.

Futility aside, to threaten to withhold revenue to any respectable news publication at this moment in history is hard to justify. We need quality journalism, expensive investigations, and bright commentary more than ever. The Times, for all its flaws, overwhelmingly delivers all of these things. The Times has serious lapses in judgment and reporting – like any publication, including The Guardian – but we should not wish for a day when The New York Times does not exist.

A fake boycott of the Times would be meaningless at best, counterproductive at worst. What can we do about the Bret Stephens problem, then? The only reasonable and potentially effective response is to push at what the leaders of the Times care about as much as their revenue: their reputation for seriousness and responsibility. Shaming the Times works better than threatening the Times.

If you want the more standard version of her vids I think you can bow out at like the 30 or 40 minute mark where it eventually transitions into her specific experiences. The first third is mainly about the topic of Canceling.

no thanks, dont like the creator, however regarding creators I do like, last time i posted a pakman thing you guys called my man a money goblin, ever since I've been looking at pak a bit more sceptically than I usually do. I've noticed he gets super dramatic when his bottom line is at risk, like here and with the jordan peterson subscription thing

not sure how i feel about this tbh

Well it's not topical, depends on who replies to me, I find a bunch of people on here not worth engaging with so I wont, I'd talk at length with others. If we're talking about contrapoints, someone in here linked me to them for the first time and I died laughing at what was put forth as a coherent 'counterpoint', havent been interested since, never will be again, i do however despise the 'long man bad' argument as it doesnt go beyond 'i dont have time for this therefor it sux'.

You don't need to engage with stuff at length, but you also shouldn't take quotes out of context*. Not aiming that comment at you but general online discussion, and the context where I see that argument applied. And dunks are allowed, but once some kind of engagement is done. Like not to toot my own horn, but I actually watched wank dads first youtube video - the one where he hates trans people and fears prison for it. So I can dunk away.

* unless its quotes about having wet dreams about your grandma.

contrapoints makes some good arguments, if you can get past all the cringe whimsy, which I personally cannot, but it's kind of weird to dismiss her on that basis. Don't you follow that boxxy lookalike? She is way more of a surface level thinker than contra

I follow boxxy cause she makes smart people arguments like a baffoon and it's entertaining. Contrapoints makes dumb people arguments with theatre and misdirection. Listen I'm not going to watch the video, I'm not interested, I just wanted to add that people who trash it based on length are morons.
