"Fear of serious injury alone cannot justify oppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burnt women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears."

The effect of this presentation method is to increase activation of #RationalThought and decrease fear, anger and conflict. Being able to present in honest discussions like this is a valuable skill. Though not all encounters are best approached as honest discussions.
While trying to find the youtube links I noticed that many, many youtube videos are titled so as to increase hunger for conflict, and outrage.
"Divisiveness, fresh from the trees, only a penny a pound, full of emotion!"
The current increase of #Emotionality in online spaces and in the streets of city centres will benefit those like Trump, De Santis, Johnsons Mike & Boris, Netanyahu, Putin, Orban, Erdogan, Braverman, Dutton et al by decreasing the amount of #FactChecking, #RationalThought and #CriticalAnalysis that folks do.
If you believe that increased emotions and what follows from them are what is needed then your path is obvious.
How would you recommend folk who think otherwise could well proceed?
I don’t care.
