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: 233 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

Far right 5.8% 79 videos
Conservative right 1.3% 1 videos
Left 3.1% 37 videos
Manosphere 9.5% 10 videos
Conspiracism 1.0% 5 videos
Culture 15.5% 2 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

Far right 63% 684 sentences

Left 27% 295 sentences
Manosphere 6% 63 sentences

Libertarianism <1% 2 sentences
Culture 3% 29 sentences

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

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.

« En même temps, l'Église a cette voix importante à porter en matière de charité, d'accueil. Et en même temps, est-ce que vous pouvez nous évoquer cet équilibre qui est la voix de l'Église sur la possibilité aussi au peuple de préserver leur propre culture ? »
« moi je vais le laisser faire le merci, il fait la promotion de Trump, avec ses tarifs contre l'acier, le monde ne comprenne pas, les gens s'attachent, c'est leur système limbique, l'attachement, le groupe, le sauveur, mais tu regardes le sauveur ce qu'il fait, »
« Ils sont partout, après, traditionnellement, et ça, il y a eu l'expérience de toutes les guerres depuis 78, 82, 2006, etc. Lorsqu'il y a des cessez-le-feu, »
« Il y a une plus grande, je pense, c'est ce que les auteurs de l'article vont dire, il y a une plus grande proximité, plus de valeurs partagées, une plus grande harmonie générale dans un foyer qui est marié et chrétien. Et ça, c'est pas juste aux États-Unis. »
« Et pour moi, c'est aussi l'un des dégâts du féminisme 2.0. A force de vouloir déconstruire les hommes, on finit par abîmer les hommes, les femmes, les relations et derrière eux, les enfants et toute la société. »
« La foi à la famille et la tradition nationale... Les coutumes et la foi qui évoluent lentement, vivre et laisser vivre, égalité, diversité et droit civique, tradition et ordre sans religion, la foi au service de la justice. »

The videos

Where the theme weighs most.

Videos of the last four months, ranked by the share of their political sentences the classifier assigns to the theme; each record opens in a side panel.

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 periods

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.
