Dawkins vs Humanism chrisiousity 2021-06-01 | The American Humanist Association revoked the "Humanist of the Year" award they had presented to Richard Dawkins in 1996, because he " over the past several years accumulated a history of making statements that use the guise of scientific discourse to demean marginalized groups". Some people- while generally not countering the actual charge, as that is clearly not a winning argument- are quite peeved about this.I say, tough cookies, Humanism is a word that has meaning and Richard Dawkin's behavior is anti-Humanist.

The Top 20 Gaslighters of the Kavanaugh Hearings- Part 1 chrisiousity 2018-10-19 | Note: this video is in black and white.The Ford- Kavanaugh hearings were an intense public spectacle with very high stakes for the American public. Christine Blasey Ford testified to a harrowing encounter- an attempted rape that she was "100% sure" was committed by Judge Kavanaugh and his friend. Two other women had come forward with stories of abuse, but their testimonies were not taken (Emails by Chuck Grassley's aide later revealed that one of the other women had attempted to come forward and present her testimony but poor communications on the part of the Senator's staff caused a breakdown).People who watched Ford's testimony- including the people who would later vote to confirm Kavanaugh- found her "compelling", "sympathetic", and "believable".How then, could they disregard her testimony? And how did they explain this to the American people?This video is about gaslighting, a dishonest tactic that has been used by many modern politicians (including Bill Clinton and George W. Bush) but has reached extraordinary levels in the Trump administration- and filtered down through all levels of society. Its effects are pernicious and are poisoning the political landscape. Here I will list and dissect the worst abusers and their tactics, in the hope that seeing through the dishonesty will be freeing for us all.

Response to Gad Saad Part 2 (Re-Upload) chrisiousity 2018-08-13 | Every time I would go to do these I would cringe so hard at the crap editing skills, and want to do them all over again- but I finally decided to just get them out there. No more excuses!Watch the first video first: youtube.com/watch?v=_N2L5gACr3s&t=1s In this video we discuss disinvited speakers, the (mis) use of biased sources, social media, the rights of peaceful assembly and petitioning the powerful, among many other topics. Enjoy, and comment!Original Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5-oG...Sources:Fire.org report: https://www.thefire.org/spotlight/rep...Justice Centre for Canadian Freedoms: http://www.jccf.cahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice...http://thechronicleherald.ca/novascot...Martin Luther King quote: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/8/...

To Germaine Greer, Shitlord Feminist: F@ck Off chrisiousity 2018-06-10 | A very brief discussion of the life and times of Ms. Germaine Greer, and why there really is no need to keep platforming her so she can spread transphobia, pederasty, rape apologia.... (didn't even get into the racism or ableism due to time constraints).Like, really though- why would a couple decades of rank bigotry NOT be a good reason to get your feminism from a better source? Why would being a thought leader in the 1970's mean that we have to continue to listen to you forever no matter how many awful and misinformed things you say?Some Sources: varsity.co.uk/news/8105nytimes.com/2018/05/31/world/europe/germaine-greer-rape.htmlbbc.com/news/av/uk-34625512/germaine-greer-transgender-women-are-not-womenhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5788581/Feminist-Germaine-Greer-rape-just-bad-sex-not-violent-crime-Hay-Festival.htmlpatreon.com/chrisiousitytwitter.com/chrisiousity

@RealPeerReview Are Right WIng Anti-Science Propaganda chrisiousity 2018-05-16 | You may or may not have heard of this odd, secretive group twitter account that tries to convince Right-leaning people that social science is hooey- otherwise known as the world's easiest job. If you care about things like facts, rationality, or skepticism (the real kind, not the bullshit kind) than you should keep a close eye on this shell game. Hey, so I am not a scientist or academic, and I don't play them on TV, and so I want to make clear all these opinions are mine, and not necessarily that of any actually educated people.@RealPeerReview is the twitter handle of this group. Don't try to hack them, lol. Studies and Articles Behind Paywalls:onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jpcu.12545tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0966369X.2018.1457014?journalCode=cgpc20
