Late Night Echo Chamber
I haven’t been posting on The Progressive Flame since April, and some may have wondered if I have given up on it. Fear not, True Believers, I have not, and will resume posting here, hopefully before too much longer; I still have the Dimensions of Perspective discussion to finish, and I fully intend to do so. However, I finally gave in and made a Twitter account, and then spent quite a lot of June there. In addition, I’ve been doing some videos on YouTube, have been a guest on a YouTube show, and have been on various people’s livestreams there. In the last connection, let me catch you up on what I’ve been doing on YouTube.
So, a couple of months ago, a friend was doing a show on YouTube with a couple of others, and in the second episode of their show, they discussed some things to which I wanted to respond. I missed the live show, and so was going to post comments on the video, but YouTube apparently didn’t like me writing a lengthy comment, so I had to break it up into three or more comments, which YouTube then decided were all spam …
Not deterred, I decided to make a response video, and so I did, and a second response video as well, since I didn’t cover all of the things to which I wanted to respond in the first. I mean to post both of my response videos here in this piece, but first, I’ll show you the video to which I was responding.
So there’s the video, the “Late Night Echo Chamber, Episode 2.”
My response was, as I have noted, divided into two videos. In the first video, I responded to their discussion of “Identity Politics.” Be warned: the first of my two response videos is rather lengthy, and it follows here:
The second part of my response was much shorter. Whereas in the first response video, I covered only one of their topics, in the second, I covered several of their topics (namely, “The Budget,” “Trump’s Wall,” “Trump’s Favorability,” “Military Spending,” “NPR and PBS Funding,” “Dodd-Frank,” and “Ryancare), and did so much more succinctly:
So this is where I’ve been lately. I’ll be sharing some other videos I have made recently for those who might like to see them.
