    Years ago, I would keep YouTube playing constantly while I was at work and caught a handful of Prager u videos randomly, and this was well before I was the radical leftist I am now, they still rubbed me the wrong way. They did a great job making an argument that was fundamentally wrong but they’d always fail to explain an important mechanism for something critical. I can’t think of any specific examples, I haven’t actually watched one of their videos since I left that job. But it was always a huge leap that they disguised as a given fact. They’re also just straight up lie about historical facts.

      That’s the problem right!? It takes no effort to lie but we have spill gallons of ink to fact check them.
