1) THREAD:
Jerm:
"The Left just want to shut down conversations".
Also Jerm, after inviting @afairweather (who's CENTER-RIGHT) on his show to discuss opposing views calmly and respectfully, then get upset when he does:
"I am never debating anyone with opposing views ever again"

2) Jerm was at sea in this debate from the outset, got mad, got yelled at by his wife & apologized 3 times to Al for being an asshole, searched for a draw by extending it to over 2 hours & remarking on what a nice chat it was & how chuffed he was with...
3) ...Youtube comments from fans saying what a pleasant chat and how nice Al was... then after the debate our boy realised how badly he lost and did a full 180, from "we should do this more often" to "I'm never doing this with anyone ever again."
Just astounding snowflakery

4) Here, Alistair lays out one of his main problems with Jerm (and most of his viewers) - his confirmation bias is so strong that he is far more interested in being right & being praised for it than he is in learning about opposing views and possibly changing his opinions.

-Jerm & his viewers ignore it completely: 2 likes 0 replies
-Jerm retires from all debate

6) What a perfect moment in time, undoubtedly the highlight of the debate:
"Just because I am hilariously and dogmatically misinformed and generally don't know things, doesn't mean that I am NOT going to espouse strong opinions on those things to my huge audience."
*chef's kiss

8) "I think we've discussed Ideas⢠really well and I really appreciate that & there's way too much common ground for me to be annoyed about anything... but you're a center-right woke and i'm NEVER debating a 'woke' again. Also, 'woke' means whatever I want it to mean."
9) "Sorry for being an asshole and thank you for the thought-provoking conversation but you're exposing my aggressive stupidity so I am am hereby retiring from all debate with you woke, center-right polite snowflakes.

10) The provocateur troll who constantly whines about how the Left won't discuss or debate or engage the Battle Of Ideasâ˘, proudly announcing he's shutting the echo chamber door from the inside.
Just holler if you need us to bring milk & cookies to your sound-proof safe space?

12) Hey @afairweather any thoughts on this? Apparently asking Jerm to consider maybe being more nuanced about life-or-death topics that are still unclear and gaining a better awareness of his confirmation bias is the same as forcing him to "self-censor"?
