I loved Mao's pamphlet, "Are landlords actually based as hell?" Of course you have to read the whole thing to find out that actually the answer is complicated
He literally did pose the positions of his enemies and then write out the counterarguments along with explaining things to the peasantry. What is your point?
We all know that there is no way to acknowledge a discussion aside from provocative rhetorical questions that go unanswered unless you listen to a whole-ass podcast
Right, the problem is the concept of headlines. When a leftist says "hmm, maybe buried in the transphobia is a good point" as their headline, that is an obvious betrayal of trans comrades.
You don't have to ask the question the public is already asking. They're asking it. You can just state your opinion. "Dave Chappelle is wrong about trans issues, listen to this episode to find out why." Or if you still want to do the lazy ass clickbait journalism 101 shtick you can say "Is Dave Chappelle funny anymore?" then go into your pro-trans points.
The idea that you have to bait people into listening to your argument comes from media. The practices of media are built based on it being a for-profit model that thrives on engagement. They feel they have to trick people into clicking on stuff because it's how they make money, not because it actually creates real interest in the subject. I guess the fantasy is that chuds will read that tweet and think "wow, I don't know if he's right, I guess I need to listen" then listen to 40 mins of a podcast to come to a rational conclusion based on debate and discussion. But that doesn't happen. Instead they'll listen up until the point Brie says she's pro-trans and then turn it off. But she would then at least have a click/download/stream count of +1.
Yes, other media people do it too because they're all media-brained. And since media doesn't exist in the us outside of the prevailing capitalist mode, it's all tainted. Leftist podcasts of any kind, I don't care how leftist they are or how much you like them, are not actually leftist. They're just another brand. I don't give a hoot about Citations Needed. I'm sure they're media-brained too. It doesn't make Brie's methods any more valid.
There is no actual leftist media in the US. It just doesn't exist. Your friend's 'zine doesn't count. Media alternatives can only exist as yet another component of the capitalist system.
I just wanted to thank you for articulating your insight here.
I saw this video recommended on YT in my recommended feed and I was shocked. I had already unsubscribed from Bad Faith just because I had a bad feeling about the direction it was going, but this vid title just rang like a bell in my mind and my instincts said to click the "do not recommend this channel" link and so I did not quite understanding why I felt so strongly I had to do so.
Your comment connected my correct instinct with articulated thought and I was enlightened. Thank you very much.
It is when you aren't even criticizing her actual opinions and refuse to look at what they are

Because the whole issue is that BJG is using trans issues as clickbait to promote her impossibly boring podcast?

So your real issue is just the with the concept of a headline in general. I'm glad we cleared that up.

Yes, that should definitely be your takeaway from this conversation
