Themes and arguments.

The arguments put forward or contested in the videos, grouped by theme and by period. Our local model draws them from a sample of political sentences, then they are checked against the sentences; each quote links back to its video.

Waiting for our local model

Content in preparation: it will appear here as soon as it is ready.

The sample is ready: 42 sentences drawn by orientation, channel and video. The reading takes place during the project’s computing slots; next slot tonight at 00:30. Meanwhile, the theme’s clearest sentences are shown below.

The theme in a typical video
  1. Far right 3.9% 14 videos
  2. Manosphere 30.3% 1 videos
  3. Conspiracism 2.8% 3 videos
  4. Culture 8.5% 1 videos

Mean share, per video, of the political sentences on the theme; each video counts once, from 20 political sentences.

Where the theme’s sentences come from
  1. Far right 81% 102 sentences
  2. Manosphere 9% 11 sentences
  3. Conspiracism 5% 6 sentences
  4. Culture 6% 7 sentences

This split follows the size of each orientation’s corpus: it describes the channel selection, not the weight each side gives the theme.

Arguments come from a sample shared by the territories. Only excerpts from channels in the selected country and their associated arguments are kept here; counts are recalculated.

While the reading is pending

What the videos say, sentence by sentence.

The sentences the classifier ties most clearly to the theme, taken from different orientations and channels; each one comes out of its video, which opens in a side panel.

  1. « Le problème, c'est qu'il flirte beaucoup avec des concepts dits mondialistes. Les fameux changements climatiques, les autos ouvertes, tout ça pour moi, je regarde ça et je mets ça dans la balance, ça j'aime moins ça. »

  2. « l'Union européenne. On va aller, on va s'en aller vers la France. »

  3. « Donc on voit la religion comme un problème, alors qu'à l'opposé, le multiculturalisme, le fait qu'on ait une diversité de cultures et d'expressions culturelles. »

  4. « Parce qu'il n'y aura pas assez de tchad pour tout le monde. Ça c'est le futur de la femme moderne de base. »

  5. « Donc, l'école, congé d'école scolaire pour plusieurs en France, il y en a qui vont être contents, retourne au Moyen-Âge. vous êtes xénophobe c'est le nouveau mode, vous n'êtes pas inclusif c'est ça le vivre ensemble est impossible quand que l'autre bord veut aussi. »

  6. « Et l'arrivée d'un référendum en 2029 va ajouter une autre couche d'incertitude et d'imprévisibilité. Alors, déjà… l'Angleterre a montré ce que ça donne lorsqu'on se retire d'un espace économique commun, comme l'Union européenne. »

How the arguments are drawn

The theme’s political sentences are drawn at random by period, with quotas per orientation and a cap per channel and per video. Our local model reads the sentences without knowing their channel or orientation, groups those making the same argument, separates those reporting it in order to contest it and sets aside those off the theme. Orientation shares and quotes come from the sentences, never from the model. The last seven days are read again every day.
