Summary of Ben Burgis's Give Them an Argument

By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The hosts of the podcast Chapo Trap House, Will Menaker, Felix Biederman, and Matt Christman, combine their obnoxiously guy-ish humor with an aggressive and often insightful critique of centrist media figures and right-wing blowhards.

#2 The Chapo crew, like their non-socialist predecessors at The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, often got around to putting out a book based on the show. The book was subtitled A Manifesto Against Logic, Facts, and Reason.

#3 Many leftists seem to hate the idea of logic, and will go to great lengths to prove others wrong, even if it means ignoring facts or logic. This is because they view logic as a weapon they can use to defeat and humiliate libtards.

#4 The not an argument brigade doesn’t want you to think deeply about your apparently conflicting positions. They just want you to feel confused and defensive before moving on to their next point.
