YOUPOL / ExploreThemes 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.
Authority
Political sentences about authority: obedience, order, the use of force against those who break norms.
The last seven days are read again every day. * provisional: part of the period’s videos are still to be transcribed. Greyed out: reading pending.

The project’s computers are chewing through the transcripts: the result will show up here as soon as it is ready.
The sample is ready: 205 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.
- Far right 15.2% 64 videos
- Left 7.0% 37 videos
- Manosphere 15.9% 8 videos
- Conspiracism 26.7% 2 videos
- Culture 3.0% 1 videos
Mean share, per video, of the political sentences on the theme; each video counts once, from 20 political 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, here are the sentences the classifier ties most clearly to the theme, taken from different orientations and channels.
« qui rétablit l'ordre et la justice dans le pays, dégager tous les juges et tous les procureurs et tous les avocats qui défendent ce merdier. »
« La justice sociale et l'autorité. Donc ça, j'imagine, il y aura des aides, mais je vais mettre les flics partout dans les banlieues, I guess que c'est ça le sous-entendu. »
« Et heureusement que la police est là pour encadrer tout ça, parce que imaginez juste tout ce qui se passerait, que ce soit moi ou les autres, tu vois, s'il n'y avait pas la police pour réguler tout ça. La police qui apparemment tue, tue, tue, on a analysé ça en live. »
« Ce n'est pas eux, il y a des commandants plus haut dans l'armée israélienne qui autorisent les attaques. Eux sont officiels de la Seba et de la niveau. »
« Et pourtant, j'ai déjà parlé beaucoup de fois de ce que je pense des fausses accusations, qui selon moi devraient être punis beaucoup plus sévèrement. Ou encore les trucs du genre, ouais sur le coup j'avais envie et j'ai consenti, mais plus tard j'ai réfléchi et en fait j'avais […] »
« Et quand il a dit qu'il faut arrêter de déresponsabiliser l'individu qui est le policier aussi, ils le font parce qu'ils aiment ça. Moi je suis d'accord. »
Where the theme weighs most.

36%The percentage is the share of the video’s political sentences assigned to the theme (at least 20 political sentences and 5 on the theme).
The theme, year by year.
Political sentences on the theme by period; click a period to show it. The number also depends on the share of videos transcribed, which varies a lot from year to year.
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.
