The Abuser Logic of PragerU
Channel: LuckyBlackCat
Date: 2021-06-23

Responding to “Socialism Makes People Selfish” by Dennis Prager of PragerU, aka Prager University. In this video, Dennis Prager tries to convince you it’s selfish to want a society that guarantees the things we need for basic wellbeing and survival.

To argue this point, Prager uses “abuser logic” – a warped pattern of reasoning that abusers use to convince their victims they are unworthy of decent treatment. 

This parallel with abusers is unsurprising, since the entire working class is in an abusive relationship with capitalism. Dennis Prager and PragerU want us to believe we are unworthy of socialism, or even unworthy of a reformed version of capitalism with stronger social welfare policies.

This PragerU video has over 4 million views and the likes outnumber dislikes by four to one. A massive number of people have fallen for the warped, toxic, abuser logic of this video. Which is why I made this response video to debunk it. And also because it’s fun to make fun of the ridiculous clowns at PragerU. And last but not least, it’s an opportunity to discuss two of my favorite topics: capitalism and socialism.
