Yeah, on YouTube, I’ve been watching Michael Knowles, Ben Shapiro, Coach Red Pill (who actually lives in Ukraine), as well as watching the mainstream news outlets and Yahoo news (lol).

I’m slowly trying to piece together this whole situation and trying to build a picture of what might happen in the future.

Generally, I just hope this situation de-escalates in terms of violence and some peaceful agreements can be reached.

I'd suggest dropping Michael Knowles. Can't recall anything he's said that was particularly insightful.

Shapiro is solid from a strictly legal point of view.

Matt Walsh is a solid option. He focuses on social issues more, and his dry dad humor is hilarious.

Tim Pool is a great option if you're looking for a center-left libertarian point of view. He has his annoying quirks but he's honest about what he thinks, right or wrong. Sometimes I listen to guys I know I'm going to disagree with but like to analyze their argument against my argument, and how I would argue how they're incorrect.

I’m the same. I like to listen to and read a whole range of different commentators and sources.

Yeah, Matt Walsh is a very principled guy and has very good arguments but occasionally he correct on the principle but wrong on the execution.

He had a long and detailed argument about the harms of pornography on society, and all of it should be made illegal. Lets just say whatever objections you or anyone else would have had he'd have a polite response that'd destroy that objection.

The problem, I would tell him, is that it'd be impossible to enforce. Porn is literally everywhere due to the fact everybody has cell phones and computers, and even if we shut down the porn sites and companies there'd be a black market for the content everybody has already downloaded onto their phones and computers.

That doesn't include the fact that law would just be in the United States, and the rest of the world would be unaffected, and their content would be smuggled in through a dozen different ways that didn't use the internet.

And, believe it or not, the internet has been policed pretty effectively for kiddie porn. Making it all illegal would effectively destroy those safeguards and open the floodgates.

And in the last 100 years America has fought a civil war on alcohol, and an international war on drugs, and lost both. A war on porn would be lost before its declared.


I agree with about 97% of his positions, give or take, but that one I bet he couldn't see past his principles and see how completely impossible it was.
