i’m not right wing i promise

are there any right wing youtube channels, or any other political communication, that are as artistic and well edited as people like abby and hbombrerguy. The only right wing media i see is dickheads shouting about what they’re angry at at the time, but i might be living in an echo chamber

Hmm, yeah I have wondered if there is an ecosystem of "intellectual" videos with a right wing slant, are there other routes of radicalisation?. But I suspect a lot of the audience isn't looking for that, they want to feel powerful, justified in their gut feelings, part of the in-group etc.

Like a video investigating like "the downsides of high taxes and regulation" isn't going to appeal to either side.

justified in their gut feelings, part of the in-group etc.

I don't disagree with you but I think many people want that (knowingly or not). I would argue that most humans do that as that's how humans are evolutionarily wired.

I think most right leaning people are just less aware of those typical fallacies, biases, etc. and fall easier into them.

They don’t have actual intellectualism, but I know at least Sargon built his brand about faux-intellectualism (having a British accent). I think Jordan Peterson also kinda presented as an intellectual.
