A Case Study in Sophistry: John Le Bon



Please excuse this brief detour into an example of a video that is the result of being triggered by a youtube troll :) This is of course all pointless in the grand scheme of things, so please view it accordingly and don't take it too seriously.

 The actor playing the character John Le Bon has been trained as a sophist, and accordingly "he" attempts to make subtley disingenuous associations. For example in this case the character uses "conspiracy theory paranoia" as a way to disingenuously assert the idea that there are no disinformation agents on the internet. In this particular case he attempts to associate my last recording dealing with conspiracy paranoia in REAL LIFE with the justified paranoia surrounding disinformation ON YOUTUBE (which this character is a obviously a part of).

 If you remove your latest video I will delete this one.
