“I agree with this person so they’re not a lolcow!”
In all honesty, Prager isn’t a lolcow, which is why this thread is in Multimedia rather than Lolcows. As I said upthread, he’s a boring boomer windbag and PragerU is his sad attempt to make basic bitch conservatism hip. It worked for a while, but now PragerU’s just easy fodder for BreadTube channels and is too cringey for anyone on the right to defend. If you got your entire political ideology from binge watching PragerU, that’s pathetic.
I’m surprised no-one’s really discussed one of their worst videos yet - “What is the Alt-Right?”. It was mentioned in the OP and in that “15 worst PragerU videos” video, but it was so bad it pissed off literally everyone. Check out the comments section if you want a laugh:
The TL;DR is that Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles (owner of one of the most punchable face-voice combinations ever) gives a series of hot takes on how the alt-right is actually left-wing because they’re not religious (incorrect - while some of the alt-right is atheistic, large swathes of it aren’t and the broad consensus among them is that at the very least Christianity is a useful cultural tool) and they’re collectivist unlike us big brained individualists on the TRUE and HONEST right.
It’s one of the most embarrassingly out of touch videos I’ve ever seen and the fact it’s delivered by a young man rather than a crusty boomer makes it even worse. The only person dumb enough to buy this shit is Dave Rubin who’s since repeated the arguments from this video practically verbatim on his own show.

Well, to be honest I agree with most of what they say. But I do get some of your points. I don't know if the Alt-right are religious or not. Becuase I don't know any Alt-right people.
I never got they were saying the Alt-right were left wing. I always believed they were saying that the Alt-right are different from Conservatives (which is true). But hey we all have different opinions.
Becuase i identified as a Conservative political.
But I do get some of your points.
Well Michael may be annoying. Ben Shapiro and Jeremy are the more interesting of the Daily Wire crew to be honest.

The reason "beauty" (really, you mean old paintings of aristocrats they commissioned for themselves because photography and the colored pencil hadn't been invented yet) is discouraged is because any jackass on conceptart.net can draw up something on the same technical level as Rembrandt or Monet in a few hours via photoshop, or a Pop Art types like Warhol or Lichtenstein in a few minutes. The idea is to break your conventions and explore new ideas, but in reality it leads to a bunch of fart-sniffing crap that's way less shocking than the artists think they are (or if you're famous enough to meet the President, retarded boomers will think some dumb shit about liberating menstrual fluids is a sign of Satanic pedophilia. Looking at you, Abramovich)

No, I don't just mean old paintings.
I mean art in all forms. Architecture, sculpture, music and so on.
And no, I don't mean the goal is just beauty and nothing else. But the idea that art should not be beautiful is a kind of dogma that is the death of art.
Abramovich coincidently, is one that does not follow that convention and is sometimes involved with making things that are beautiful, in a sense. In any case there is a whole artistic dimension to what she makes. What does her work say? If you studied more of the occult, you'd realize it's not the boomers that are retarded for thinking it's satanic, but you, for thinking it can't possibly be.
Since analysis of the art she made is well beyond the scope of this discussion, I'll go for easy examples.

It's a painting by a british dude 300 years ago that's meant to be a reference to Paradise Lost.
The music video is a spoof on American Psycho where the women kill the yuppies as revenge. The guy in the beginning of the video is supposed to be Patrick Bateman.

Have you even seen or read American Psycho at all besides the Huey Lewis scene due to "lol check em" or the card scene due to the sanic webm? The entire subtext of both is that the 80s yuppie subculture made a bunch of people amoral assholes.
Meanwhile you (and most of us really) never heard of the woman until Pizzagate came about because most people don't really give a shit what a bunch of fart sniffing pretentious assholes do. First impressions are everything, so virtually nothing I say will convince you otherwise because you heard about the spirit cooking video and it disgusted you so much that you and millions of other people automatically now think of her as a Molochian witch.

Wrong.
Maybe that's true for other people.
I suppose your perception of how I view it and why is as superficial as it is of these instances. I used to work in the art world and have been well aware of her work and status for over a decade, if not two.
Regardless of what american's psycho message may have been, I do not think that 80's yuppie culture is at the root of that amoral landscape, but rather one of the flowers of something rooted in something else. Considering you know about things like spirit cooking, yet think it's only some kind of occupational therapy for the rich, shows how little you've looked into it.
Here's a point. What's the point of putting Abramovic in the video in the first place? It's not a "lul, so random cameo". She serves a role in the video. How does her presence serve the "80's yuppie's are assholes" message?

My favorite Prager moment was when he started spewing the same feminist rhetoric about how all men are basically just mindless rapists only restrained by fear of law.

I dunno man, it could well be the greatest mistake. In the sense that it was completely pointless and it fucked over a bunch of people.

What do you guys think of Gravel Institute? (The left's "response" to PragerU) I just watched two of their "short explainers" vids, and goddamn, it really is the embodiment of the whole "leftist memes are textwalls" thing. Even their 5 minute videos feel like stale cherrypicked audio textbooks and lack any of the brevity and directness that PU's 5 min vids have.
They have a few cringy animations as well.
Besides, just the fact that the lefties had to begin a polar opposite of PragerU when most people in the middle agreed that the concept was dumb just seems really desperate. Even calling it an "institute", for fucks sake.
The only things GI seems to have over PragerU is:
1. Actual animation, but in the globohomo flat style
2.Actually citing their FACTS & LOGIC(tm) in the description

I thought the left already had it’s own Prager-U in the form of Ian Danskin/Innuendo Studios & his shitty propaganda cartoons. Where the hell did these jokers come from?

They released a video in defence of Robert E Lee which was so bad it was deleted:
I'm not even in favour of his statues coming down, but the arguments in this video are dumb as shit and can be boiled down to:
Like I said, I'm not in favour of the statues coming down, but if you're wanting to defend them staying up, maybe don't lead with such piss poor arguments.
I'm not even in favour of his statues coming down, but the arguments in this video are dumb as shit and can be boiled down to:
- He was distantly related to Martha Washington
- He had a nice house
- He was buried near his horse (no, really)
- He crushed a revolt by a "radical abolitionist" (because wanting to get rid of slavery is really radical amirite?)
- He opposed freed slaves' right to vote
Like I said, I'm not in favour of the statues coming down, but if you're wanting to defend them staying up, maybe don't lead with such piss poor arguments.

Nothing about Lee's commitment to defending his homeland? Or his defensive tactics unusual at the time?
Thanks for having me create a more compelling argument for a person that would've preferred to ship slaves back to Africa, PragerU.

The Gravel Institute is an irrelevant organization. Most if not all of their audience are people who follow them on twitter. Just look at their social blade numbers, not very popular...
