    What did he write for Infowars? Do they exclusively publish lies or is their barrier to entry just low? I’ve found Brian Berletic to use sources well, be transparent and make logical conclusions with few or reasonable leaps.

      As I posted in the top comment, some pretty right-wing Alex Jones level, anti global warming, “globalist”, anti vaccine level shit. They’re still on his page. He’s never once self-crit over them. And lot of the bad takes have been very recently. I’m actually very happy to have this line of discussion. Please, ask me for more info.

        Hi ButtBidet. Do you have more examples? Especially interested in bad arguments, rather than bad takes.

          If I can copy/paste a previous conversation that I had with a mod:

          Global warming is in fact a scam perpetrated by globalists to control every aspect of human industry, population, consumption and demographics, as declared in the United Nation’s Agenda 21 report and conclusions drawn at the globalist Club of Rome forum. After decades of uncontested propagandizing, the globalist agenda began to slow under the scrutiny of skeptics able to propose their objections en-mass via the Internet.

          Under increasing pressure, exposing inconsistencies and bold faced lies, globalists themselves have literally conceded that their “irrefutable research” on all fronts is “flawed,” (read: lies). [link ]

          Another article:

          t’s not entirely accurate to call the Belfer Center merely a big oil representative that forms the spearhead of promoting the theory of anthropogenic global warming and the resulting Ponzi-scheme environmental policies proposed to deal with it. [link ]

          On his page, although written by Paul Joseph Watson:

          As we have previously documented, the manufactured threat of man-made global warming is being used as a tool of neo-colonialism in the third world, not only through the seizure of land and infrastructure, thereby preventing poor nations from using their resources to develop, but by literally starving poverty-stricken people to death. [link]

          If you want bad arguments instead of bad takes, I’ll have to find the text of a struggle session from over a year ago. You want to see it?

            If you’re willing. When I say bad arguments, I mean misrepresenting a source or bad quality sourcing, or drawing conclusions that aren’t supported by the data he cites.

            Thank you for these 3 links as well.
