Who's your favourite at debating?

    Personally I like watching or listening Milo Yiannopoulos, he's very funny and hits the target.

    Ben Shapiro can be a good banter too.

    Chanty Binx puts on a great show, I don't think I'd be able to handle her.

    My favourite would probably be Christopher Hitches, he really had his facts right along with good wit and knock out potential.

    Gavin McInnes is good very rarely losses a debate.
    Him and Jessie Ventura was a great debate.
    Stephen Crowder also very good

    I like when lots of people debate in church on a Sunday...

    Gotta love those massdebators!!

    Sam Harris.

    Any of the right wingers who have made their name destroying bad arguments like Crowder, Shapiro etc. would be eaten alive by him.

    Very interesting listening to Jordan Peterson sound out of his depth for the first time in a public discussion when speaking with Harris.

    Any liberal lefty

    George Galloway was a good orator in his time.

    Assfcked the US senate en masse, in their own house.

    Who ever is good at skwering, destroying, lambasting or whatever click bait title is popular.

    Just a pity he ass kissed Saddam Hussein and is a true believer socialist.

    Winston Churchill was a fine orator


    Or are we plugging our mates podcasts?

    Christoper Hitchens.... Alt Right?

    For gods sake man.

    I love the gay Jewish classical liberal Dave Rubin. (Makes it funny when wackjobs label him a nazi.)

    He came out of TYT so knows regressive leftism like the back of his hand. Knowing how your enemy thinks and works is crucial in debate.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,430 ✭✭✭RWCNT


    Destiny off YouTube is pretty good IMO.

    Have to say I hate this trend that's emerged of titling videos "X destroys Liberal with facts/Y calmly Dismantles sjw with reason/Z impregnated triggered leftist with his logic-cock". Half the time when you watch the vids nobody is getting "destroyed" and its just people discussing things like civilised people. The goal of debate shouldn't be to destroy anyone.

    You almost got me there. Fair play.

    I don't complain about this much as it usually turns up in threads where there's other stuff I'd rather discuss but I ****ing hate everyone being described as "alt right" these days. Alt rightists want to create an all-white ethnostate, they're fascist nutters and as far as I'm aware, there's very few of them.

    It’s precisely because he “ass kissed” Saddam that he is a great un.

    Are there still people who think that was a good war?

    Harris should not even be mentioned in the same breath as those other chancers.

    Harris is a knowledgeable and very intelligent man. The others who you mentioned are little more than grifters who use cheap debating tricks that impress the kinds of incels who wouldn't know a good debate if it jizzed in their face after selling them health supplements.

    Ben Shapiro can buy and sell most people. That man should run for office in the US.

    Dr. Jordan Peterson, naturally.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,070 ✭✭✭Franz Von Peppercorn


    Harris has never seemed that brilliant to me.

    He's great on religion

    If we're going to do this seriously, then Stephen Fry is great as is Michael D.

    Bosco, nobody could put him back in his box.

    There are a number of people on YouTube who carefully deconstruct the utter bullshit those reactionary clowns [Hitchens excepted] pass off as reasoned debate.

    Here are two pretty good ones.

    Has nobody bothered to google the name on that list that you hadn't heard of?

    Or are you all in on this without me?

    That’s a pretty easy one.

    She was an early hate figure for the MRA crowd because of some mad video rant about 10 years ago. More of a meme type character these days as I don't think there's been anything from her in years.

    His political stuff is pulled apart by the Zero Books channel on YouTube who he's been avoiding debate with for a long time now.

    I'm a fan of both of these but in fairness they do response videos as opposed to live debates.

    All the lads who love the right wing arguing in bad faith types - have any of you seen Jesse Lee Peterson? I could watch him "debate" all day, comedy genius.
