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: 51 sentences drawn by orientation, channel and video. The reading takes place during the project’s computing slots; next slot today at 06:30. Meanwhile, the theme’s clearest sentences are shown below.

The theme in a typical video
  1. Far right 9.1% 16 videos
  2. Manosphere 0.0% 1 videos
  3. Conspiracism 20.7% 3 videos
  4. Culture 1.4% 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 84% 269 sentences
  2. Manosphere <1% 1 sentences
  3. Conspiracism 15% 48 sentences
  4. Culture <1% 1 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. « C'est la crise énergétique qui s'en vient. Les ressources, les automatisations, les AI vont manger du jus, mangent de l'électricité comme tu ne peux pas savoir. »

  3. « we're doing this in the right way by building sustainably Bâtir de façon durable, c'est mettre l'avantage du Canada en matière d'énergie propre au service d'une énergie plus propre pour le monde entier. »

  4. « Ils veulent contrôler l'humain et ils ont trouvé cette formule magique-là du CO2 pour essayer de faire peur. Et ils ont tous mis la propagande sur la terreur, la peur. »

  5. « Puis lui, sa job, c'est que dans les planifications énergétiques du Québec, que je vous lis, c'est quoi ils veulent faire avec les bioénergies et le gaz naturel dans les 25 prochaines années à venir? Ça prend un du M, qui lui a le rôle du méchant que les autres veulent pas […] »

  6. « L'énergie propre ici, de l'utiliser, de la développer, d'investir, ça fait travailler notre monde, ça fait travailler notre PME. On a besoin d'un état fort et non pas d'un état affaibli pour... »

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.
