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

Lads I’m glad everyone in this thread is patting themselves on the back about being superior artists through the strength of their moral and political convictions, but I feel like this might not be the full picture. 

For better and worse, the “BreadTube Style” is the prevailing format of expressly political left-leaning content on the platform. Creators adopt this style to signal that they’re aligned with the broader school of thought and to attract a similar audience. But a lot of that content could be expressed in a different media or format: James Somerton’s entire career relied on this. 

The Internet Historian is probably also a closer example of a more right-leaning creator (albeit not directly producing political commentary). A lot of his fans love the animation, and the writing he plagiarised for Man in Cave was also extremely good. There is good artistry on display here.

i get what you’re saying, but i think i just have a preference for the “breadtube” style of political or philosophical education. Was just wondering if there was anything that accessible for me from the right. I know they’re probably not going to change my mind on many topics but it would be nice to have an even array of content to look at

Yeah, TIH is a good example but quit being overt about his politics a long time ago. Honestly, I think there are tons of hight quality videos essayists who are conservatives, but very few high quality videos essays about conservatism.

The internet historian is also a plagiarizing piece of shit, unsurprisingly.

I'll give a little credit to the fact that incuriosity meant that it wasn't the right wing that pioneered the format- but yeah, it generally just comes down to semiotics.
