Ignoring a problem does not make it go away. Consider the viewpoint in this youtube video. It is pretty long. The whole series is realyl good. This one is one of the last ones, I think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCl33v5969M
How about you summarize the point you are trying tot make so every one can understand what you are saying instead of assigning homework to online strangers while likely promoting somebody’s “influencer” career
That’s fair-- I take the same stance usually-- I really should have just done that from the get go, huh?
Your response above-- the one I replied to, is also a “win state” for bigots. They win when you ignore them, and when you give them attention. The video goes on to point out that framing the scenario like you are, where the battlefield is a war over attention, that minorities are being treated as tools or pieces on a board, and both sides are engaging in bigotry.
My summary sucks, but maybe it’s enough to get you to take a look?
the video provides context for the conversation. if you’re not interested in doing the work in order to participate, fine, but demanding that they transcribe possibly thousands of words just because you refuse to watch the video isn’t reasonable.
they have no obligation to do exceed to your entitled demands, and this is not a “profession” but a casual conversation. again, if you refuse to make the effort to do what’s required to participate in it, then that is your choice. don’t complain when others won’t do that work for you.
I don’t see any reason why I should transcribe a video for you, when it’s freely available to watch at your leisure. I find the video series insightful when it comes to understanding and combatting bigotry and those that champion it-- and for sure, you may not. I only wanted to bring it to your attention because it directly applies to the discussion, and assuming your end goal is combatting bigotry, you might be interested in knowing that the way you’re going about it isn’t likely to work.

How’s clicking on articles about a bigot and showing your outrage on social media actually combat the bad actor?
I am all about improving the tactics but I don’t see this one as viable? What is the advice?
I can’t watch the video for you, friend. If you’re curious, watch it. If you’re not, then don’t.
Sounds like you are more interested in promoting the video than engaging in discussion at hand tbh

If someone can’t express a thesis in a few sentences, I am questioning their ability to do critical analysis.
That’s lazy, and frankly, unprofessional way to conduct an online discussion.

grow up.
