Opinions don’t always need to advocate for both sides, presenting a sane and batshit arguments on equal footing is a huge problem in modern media and allowed a lot of Trump’s bullshit arguments to gain ground. I think that making an effort to devil’s advocate in arguments generally makes the argument read stronger but it isn’t required.

Is it a personal attack? They wrote it and don’t understand it’s expected in an argument that you include the counter argument and provide evidence why your position is correct.

Where do you think this is?
Lemmy isn’t university. There’s no implied or expressed expectations of “academic argument”.

I got a paragraph telling me that it is absurd to expect to know the counter narrative when ac5ually it’s absurd to believe anything withoutnone.

It’s not that video’s job to provide that counter. That’s yours. This isn’t being published in a scientific journal or something. It’s a YouTube video.
