Oh God the cringe

The video was interesting, but it's just painting everything way too black and white. I'd definitely agree that a lot of people argue in bad faith like the video explains but it's not always the case. Also that if you spend most your time arguing against one side, you're doing it to support the other even if you say otherwise.

My perspective: I grew up with a socially leftist ideology, but I've grown concerned how radical some beliefs on the left have gotten. I spend a lot of time arguing against SJW ideals not for the sake of arguing and proving myself right, or to "stick it to the libs". I do it out of actual concern for the mental health of the next generation. And I think that, as someone who leans left on social issues, I'm better equipped to change minds on the left about it.
