    David Pakman is extremely skilled at detangling muddled and misleading arguments, all the while remaining calm and collected while shredding the illogic ignorantly (or disengenuously) thrown into the mix of a discussion.

    he's also from argentina which is _the_ case study for SHTF stuff so when he says something is worthy of consideration, he has my attention.

    You're not kidding that Rogan was stoned. He didn't come off well, and Pakman ran him over.

    However, Pakman spent time calling Google "center right" which is hilarious.

    They're not any kind of right. The correct term is "limousine liberals" in corporate form.

    i think his whole point was that when you break down google's agenda to its absolute bare bones, like 2% of that pie graph is left leaning gestures and the rest is pure get that mother fuckin money with a surprisingly big slice of pure science R&D for good measure.

    but yeah google's composed of mostly left leaning people because most geniuses tend to aspire to crypto-buddhist egalitarian principles. sfo.

    Google, Facebook, and Twitter engage in a lot of cold, opportunistic, and morally questionable business practices in order to maintain and expand their dominance.

    There's various ways executives of these type of companies cope with behaving in such a way:

    1) "That's the way business works, I regret nothing. SFO."
    -or-
    2) "I'll give a shitload of money to charity, and that totally makes up for it."
    -or-
    3) "I'll support left wing politics in order to show how much I care for the little guy, and will instill this into our corporate culture. That will make up for it."

    Silicon Valley engages in #3.

    Bill Gates engaged in #2.

    From a Western perspective they are center right, if you're speaking of management/owners.

    Right likes to spew silly numbers like 90% of employees donations going to the left. That money buys lip service and keeping up appearances. For anything else it's too random.

    Almost all directed lobbying effort goes towards right wing economic policies. That money gets things done. At the top of the list are anti-trust laws, stripping regulations and stopping anyone from looking too close to what needs to be done. All things Orwellian (lifelong socialist btw).

    Obama administration was a revolving door for google and facebook employees.

    How many google and facebook employees are in the Trump administration?

    I believe there were actually a few to start, but they resigned under pressure from the outrage mob.

    There is only one side calling for the other side to be silenced, fired, de-personed, de-platformed, etc. and it's not the modern right.

    Big tech companies do the same as Koch industries when it comes to regulating corporations only from their perspective. For Koch it's environmental regulations, for big tech it's privacy and intellectual property. And obv what comes to actually paying taxes, workers/customers rights, they share the same views.

    Big tech is the libertarian dream when it comes to economic side of things.

    I don't know what you mean with modern right. Far as i know right still excommunicates for disagreeing with the bible, crushes unions, Trump administration is banning words and trannies are now banned from the military. First things that come to mind. Right does their dirt where they can. It's not in the left leaning universities or left leaning newspapers, so they tend to highlight those.

    In the video YouTube demonetized, the author debunks the pseudoscientific claim made in the indicated BBC sciency video report.

    Lesson? Independent content providers risk getting swatted away from the advertising revenue fountain when they criticize a “made” media content giant.
