@Demo318 PragerU stuff is funded by the Koch brothers and they're propaganda for conservative views, not educational. The founder of Prager University doesn't think gay people should be allowed to be married and the funders of Prager University think homosexuality is the same as bestiality and incest. Also, not a university. youtu.be/hYAYFgmOWAI

I must agree. Didn't know about before, but it took me just a 5-minute video to understand that it is partial. The fact that the videos are nicely made makes them propaganda too - 1/5

It's actually sad and not challenging at all when you make such a video, trying to go back to what was the original republican stance and forget it's already been answered and refuted, all topped with some harmless notion that "no one can disagree with!", trying to make the opponent appear as immoral/harmful.

Challenge is exactly how my opinion was formed. No one is a liberal because they don't know what conservatives want - 2/5

Most of the conservatives know nothing of what liberals want. That goes by definition: liberals try stuff, conservatives don't.
If I watch a PragerU video, I can tell every single argument they are lacking. If a conservative listens to a liberal, they can only come up with what-ifs or ask what's in it for them or ponder pros and cons. Because their opinion was formed by the pursuit of profit, and never by challenging arguments (actively dismissed, instead) - 3/5

At the end of the day conservatives question human rights (because of economic/religious reasons) and can't provide even the most basic alternative to them, basically admitting that they just wish we could go back in time where the strong and privileged could thrive with no regard for other humans nor the environment.
And I didn't learn that from "the media" - 4/5

I learnt that from thirty years in my highly conservative, faithful, cruel and hypocritical family/hometown, and from years spent as an altar boy and a boy scout

Do you really believe that the problem liberals have with conservatives is ? That is delusional, and you can blame for that.

If you need challenge, ask me anything.

@Demo318 - 5/5

@fra recommending ads from a org that pretends to be a university is propogandizing your views, not educating people on them.
