tbf, you’re a rando posting your opinion on it to the internet just like him, just in text format. Why should we listen to you?
With that said, everything needs to be taken with a grain of salt. You can listen, take it in, and research more if something doesn’t seem right to you.
Yes but one rando posting a video of another rando with no sources is even less credible than the singular rando just stating the opinion himself. People who believe “experts” without citations are unfortunately too common in this world.
There’s no difference between randos on the internet, everything is taken with a grain of salt and healthy suspicion. Doesn’t matter which rando it comes from.
Let me put it this way: If a man told me he was a medical doctor and another man also claimed to be a doctor and showed me a medical license written in crayons, which would I be more likely to believe?
Let me put it this way: Straw man arguments won’t work here.
edit: “A straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction”
one is a licensed profession that is illegal to lie about and heavily prosecuted, the other is random people writing comments/posting videos on the internet. There is a world of difference.
A bunch of ragtag militiamen vs one of the most advanced militaries in the world. I get that they’re desperate, but this was an inevitable outcome (as terrible as it is).
This seems like you’re trying to make a factual claim. Again, I don’t disagree with it but you’re just a rando on the internet just like the dude in the video. At least he’s put his face and name to his allegations/opinions.
He definitely is, and yet he is also shockingly insightful. I haven’t watched this particular video, but I’ve watched others of his and his takes are smarter and more nuanced than I expected. That’s not an endorsement, just adding context from someone who recognized him.
Beau is a very smart person who generally does not make a lot of mistakes with his analysis.
He has contact with a lot of good journalists and experts.
The place he is recording from is a studio that was made to look like his okd garage, where he actually started making videos from, but as the channel took off he increased the quality of the videos a lot, he also hires people to research and fact check him afaik.
Guy is kinda just really smart and good at what he does.
Who even is that, and why should I listen to them? Seems like some rando doing vids in their basement.
You don’t have to, just thought you might find it interesting.
He’s a former journalist, current political activist/humanitarian. Incredibly well-read and knowledgeable.

It’s not really a strawman when I say providing unsubstantiated evidence as proof is not ethical and will be frowned upon.

I’m just trying to have a discussion, not indoctrinate people to my way of thinking. Pretty sure I haven’t made a single factual claim.

He’s definitely at least a little more than a rando.
