    The idea that conservatives care evenly about the various moral tastes while liberals tend to be specifically focused on care and fairness is incredibly intriguing. It explains a lot about why I personally perceive so much more hypocrisy in the left than the right. It's not that they're legitimate hypocrites, it's that their values are highly specialized so the less emphasized values tend to go by the wayside. Very eye opening.

      It also explains the phenomenon of why conservatives understand liberals better than the inverse. Spreading even on several categories vs. all chips in on 1-2 slots. And why the political right is more ok with diversity of thought, which shows itself in how regular conservatives, 3rd positionists(YT doesn’t like the f or ns word), monarchists, and libertarians can come together in a way that liberals, socialists, communists, and anarchists usually cannot.
      Just as in 1930’s Spain and revolutionary France, the left always ends up purity spiraling.

      The thing about care and fairness is that they are both extremely subjective values that change with time. Everyone would agree that an innocent man going to prison would be unjust, no one ever agrees on the best way to care for people and they tend to change their opinions over time. Because of this, the leftist position is constantly shifting. They peruse care and fairness but every 10 years or so they change their minds on what care and fairness even are. 15 years agoe no one was talking about pronouns but now if you care about people and you want to make things fair you better care about pronouns.

    I think the biggest thing in the right is that often nationality and faith tend to be consistently unifying forces. As a Paleo-Con, even knowing I disagree with Libertarians about as much as leftists, I do know they won't attack the church, and rightist Libertarians will fight more with leftist policy. Also it's a matter of practicality in the spanish civil was the spanish right unified, The Neo Cons mostly are subservient to Trump, the left currently has a cultural advantage and thus the pressure is more on the right to unify.

    i agree with Destiny on the N-word thing. i dont know specifically what context it was in regards to, whether saying racist jokes or whatever... context matters, but i dont think insulting a faceless group is the same as insulting a specific person. if i make a joke about Christians, vegans, whatever... its not as insulting to a friend that is one of those as it is if i specifically call out one actual person... whether calling them tiny dick or not.
    Also, there is a taboo'ization of the word in current culture that doesnt even care about context. simply stating the word in a neutral manner like if i specifically say "hey we are talking about [nword] and whether its okay to say it" isnt the same as using it as an attack

    but i wouldn't say we are as you say hardwired for loyalty, it's more like an friendship relationship , the right is very much disunified but right quite often accepts diferences as long as core principles are agreed upon(like capitalism is preferable to socialism, borders exist for a reason , and the law also exists for a reason). keep in mind it's possible to have misplaced loyalty, and there's saying that loyalty is it's own reward, i cna understand it but i don't subscribe to it, i think that if you want my loyalty you must prove to me that if i decide to join you i will not regret it

  • @worldadventuretravel
    @worldadventuretravel 5 місяців тому +16

    It all comes down to 1) Class consciousness and 2) Theory of change. There can't ever be any solidarity between leftists and progressives-- and definitely not between leftists and liberals because they simply are not on the same team, and they're not even aiming for the same outcomes. I will explain. Since these words are so convoluted and now everyone is using them interchangeably, we'll start with some definitions:
    a) LIBERAL: The term "liberal" has been pretty much standardized going all the way back to the European Enlightenment era and its related intellectuals. The short strokes are that the liberal enlightenment was fundamentally elitist, pro-capitalism, pervasive among the petite bourgeoisie, favored bourgeois politics, often favored eugenics, and also adopted somewhat humanitarian values viewed as intellectually progressive without actually challenging class hierarchy. So, as Chris Hedges expounds so brilliantly in his 2009 book, 'Death of the Liberal Class,' it's clear how this remains the liberalism of the Democratic party, its media machine, Hollywood, and liberal academia. "Wokeness" is pervasive among the liberal class, because it is a useful tool for obfuscating and silencing class consciousness and class struggle. Another nefarious trait among liberals is their affection for authoritarianism and censorship. Of course they'll TELL you they think they're for "saving democracy" (LOL as if the U.S. is actually a democracy) and that they believe "hate speech," an entirely subjective term defined according to whatever thing makes a convenient scapegoat at any given time, must be shut down wherever it exists in order to save people from thinking things that liberals personally dislike.
    b) PROGRESSIVE: These are the insidious figures among much of the former Bernie Sanders contingent along with various lesser progressive politicians such as "the Squad." This is where theory of change becomes important. Progressives proclaim almost all the same values as leftists with exception to their very obvious and disturbing silence on imperialism and colonialism. Their fantasies of European-style social democracy depend on exploitation of the global south and perpetuation of capitalist dystopia, but they do not acknowledge this. Instead, they was poetic about a "nicer capitalism," one that mostly benefits people domestically, and take little interest in the machinations of empire abroad. Progressives adhere staunchly to the mythologies of "harm reduction," "lesser evilism," and reform over revolution. This is why, although they will *say* they are for (almost) all the same things as leftists, they don't hesitate to sell out their values when the election comes down to yet another Democrat versus yet another Republican. The truth, which few progressives admit to, is that for most of them these leftist values such as universal healthcare are not existential for them. They tend to be fairly privileged managerial class liberals that hold farther left ideals than their liberal counterparts but aren't willing to inconvenience themselves or put anything on the line to get them. But instead of admitting openly to that (because it sounds bad when you say it out loud), they'll tell you they are being "strategic," "rational," "adult," etc. and scoff at anyone telling them that the system OBVIOUSLY cannot be reformed. Another point about progressives is that they rarely if ever challenge the censorship industrial complex.
    c) LEFTIST: Leftism *begins* at anti-capitalism, anti-imperialism, anti-militarism, anti-colonialism (permutations of the same things, but just to spell it out unambiguously), and centers class struggle and working class solidarity above all else. This is because a thorough examination of revolutionary movements proves that all sweeping, systemic social and political change relies on these two things. They veer away from cancel culture, culture wars, and pointless virtue-signaling over woke cultural values. Although leftists are for equity for all people, they do not agree that there is a path to those outcomes either through aligning with the bourgeoisie-- as progressives continue to do-- or through fighting downstream battles between smaller and smaller sub-factions of society, each arguing over whose individual interests should come first. Leftists were usually liberals or progressives at some point earlier in their political activity, and became radicalized over time generally with a copious amount of self-education about how power works in capitalist systems. This is why you will not see leftists voting for Democrats, and rarely will you see them making common cause among progressives with exception to the Palestinian liberation struggle. Leftists are justifiably suspicious of progressives for reasons that should be obvious given the above description of them, but most pointedly because they know progressives will nearly always sell themselves out to the liberal machine when the going gets tough, thereby making them unreliable allies.
    So this should clear up the mystery of why there is "in-fighting" among the so-called "Left," which people often define according to their own whims convoluting the entire subject beyond recognition. You cannot fight a battle with people that are not seeking the same ends. If your aim is to make a nicer capitalism and "reform the Democratic party," the people that see an urgent need to burn the entire system to the ground are not going to join your team. If you're too scared of letting the red team win the inning and telling yourself the blue team will make your life slightly less horrible, again the people that recognize *the entire system is the problem* are not going to have anything to do with you. This makes for irreconcilable differences-- in fact, the only faction among those I just described that are ACTUALLY "The Left" are the leftists themselves. The progressive and the liberals are just Democrats.
    So it is unconstructive and disingenuous to present this as a bunch of people on the same team arguing over petty grievances that just can[t put their personalities aside. The end. I'll leave two links to other perspectives on this topic for you to ponder. I don't agree with all of what either one of them are saying, but they make interesting arguments nonetheless and some of their points are valid.

      1 question: why are leftists generally internationalists? Their opposition to (actual) national socialism seems to me to be based on weird humanism or (correct) paranoia that capitalists abroad will try to destroy the national socialist country to get access to its markets, but support for socialism is mostly rooted in improving one's material conditions.
      The obssessive focus on internationalism seems detached from this motivation

      "Liberals" don't come from classical liberalism. Modern liberals are leftists since they want to enforce an egalitarian society (they might not go so far to fully abolish individual rights (like property) but if you look into it they are the opposite of freedom-loving.

      Welp you have to either at least make friends with and work with progressives, social democrats, and such or else the right will eat us all alive. Especially in the US, where the scourge and hardcore-right death machine known as Trumpism is growing at an unstoppable rate and literally anyone to the left of Trumpism must band together to even stand a chance against Trumpism destroying the country. Also, a revolution and overthrowing of the US state ain't gonna happen any time soon. Therefore leftists might as well make the state more favorable towards them or at least more bearable (like make the state more economically egalitarian with more economic mobility, proLGBTQ, proimmigration, etc) in the mean time even if they will destroy the state later, might as well make it more bearable before you can destroy it.

      You talked about liberals progressives and leftists all having different end goals and that being why they can’t get along. But you threw a bunch of leftists into the same banner of leftism, as if there aren’t groups with huge differences under that banner
      Example: communists vs anarchists. While they may both have the same end goal of a stateless classless moneyless society, anarchists are incredibly skeptical of the state and perhaps view government with even more suspicion than they view capitalism. Anarchists will not support a communist dictatorship
      Then you have democratic socialists who don’t want a stateless classless moneyless society, nor will they accept violent revolution. They want a command economy achieved through democratic means
      Furthermore, and this is my big question to you: obviously leftists have a lot of differences. But so do evangelical conservatives, NeoCons, Paleocons, Libertarians, classical liberals, anarcho capitalists, civic nationalists, Christian nationalists, etc yet these groups all maintain unity, with perhaps the exception of a few neocons who jumped ship
      Why can’t the left maintain the unity that all of the groups I listed maintain? Because they all have different goals too

      @@themanicpineapple8772 Bet. I believe all life has a dignity owed to it. I'm not a vegan btw. This dignity I believe is divinely appointed but if you're a materialist I'll say that this dignity is just an extension of the Golden Rule. More likely than not you wouldn't want someone to fornicate with your body so do unto others, you know? This whole dignity thing I learned spending summers at my uncles ranch and is how he raises his beef cattle. He loves them and gives them the best lives he can and when it's time for slaughter he makes sure that even in the butchering process they are treated with a level of respect (the butcher isn't sitting their playing with their bones like some sort of deranged child). They are owed respect because they were living at one point and all life is precious.
      Having sex with a dead animal violates that dignity. That animal can't give consent. And we can't know if that animal wanted to give consent in life either. Just like in humans if we aren't given a clear answer on consent we should assume a "no" for the sake of the possible victim.
      Either A) God gave us this animal to sustain ourselves on and we should be respectful to a divine gift B) We domesticated this animal and now it's more or less our responsibility to give respect and dignity to something we made or C) which is a combination od A and B where God gave us the animal we domesticated it and now we need to respect it for a couple of reasons.
      You can say I'm committing the slippery slope fallacy all you want but I also think if we permit something like that to be done it would probably lead to worse things being done next. For that I don't have a well thought out reason why but it's just a feeling I have.

    Hey man this is such a great video. I really do appreciate that you were unbiased and didn't put any bias for either side.
    I always brought down this issue to being that leftists have a purity meter that they need to keep up with it and with that purity meter getting bigger and bigger each passing year some of them don't want to keep moving so they end up fighting the other people for not moving for that.
    It also could be because of the whole thing with leftists having an mindset of including everyone. But the problem with that is not everyone will agree and be united since they all belif different things. You can't have democrats and socialists go together, You can't have Islam and feminism go together. Or LGBT and Islam. You also see TERFs fight with LGBT aswell. This is Because the left is very diverse in there beliefs compared to the right which has fewer subfactions that are in the minority you often see leftists infight because they all have different goals because of the inclusion mindset and therefore they can't agree on alot of things.

So I believe the morality comes down to bodily autonomy. I don't think it's immoral because the two aren't "meant" to fornicate (there might be weight to that argument, idk tho), but because you are going against the consent - or lack of consent - of another being. It is another form of exploitation, such as how the elite class exploits the working class for their own gain.

    Before I watch this I will explain why left has problem with infighting. Its because the "left" is incogerent category right now, manipulated to simply mean "opposition to the current hierarchy" which makes it very broad and politically very confused. There is no ideological connection for anarchists and authoterian tankies to share the same label when their values are diametericly opposite to each other. Sure they both hate capitalism even the state (or so they say) but for widely different reasons that are simple not compatible.
    This simple comes from the fact that you can be against top down hierarchical system as also top down hierarchical system, you just have to have the hierarchy based in contradictory way for them to fight. And if you happened to be somebody who wants equality you will be against both, but mostly against the one in power.
    This explains not only the confusion of political terms, the infighting in the left, but also the way the right views the left and attacks it. How often do they attack the idea of equal power and freedom? Barely. They use the authtoerian left as the whole left of course.

    A solid video and I do agree with some points, but I do have some rebuttals if I may and I apologize for the long wall of text. I do not agree that leftists only valuing care and fairness and that being the primary motivators of their moral choices.
    I think what we have here is an issue of how their moral principles translate into the other 4 categories when we're working only from the Right's perception of those values. For the Left, more specifically the hard left it's about loyalty to principles and the importance of quality of life over life itself. The left used to be more united, but betrayal in the distant past and the corruption of their ideals by select authoritarian figures more interested in securing their own power rather than advancing their once mutual goals has created a paranoid skepticism of self-proclaimed allies who are only superficially interested in their movement for clout and financial gain. This skepticism can present itself as zealous purity culture, but it's more about rooting out corruption and opportunists within their own movement so they can be persistent and consistent with their long term goals of removing abusive, unjust hierarchies, the systems that made them and the people who benefit from them at the unwilling expense of others.
    I also do not agree that harm is the only factor that determines a leftist' moral position on the unlucky chicken because it presumes that leftists are majority consequential and ethical hedonists which I think stems from the Right's belief that what the LGBTQ+ community consists of which are coincidentally majority leftists. It ignores other possible reasons as to why a person would not want to violate a dead chicken or see it as justifiable, such as dignity for oneself which is valued. The chicken itself also deserves some dignity as well, since it died a sudden and tragic death and its body does not deserve to be degraded in such a way. Violating the chicken is also wasteful, as now it is tainted with who-knows what and assuming it was not diseased it would be better used as food which is overall more morally respectable and valued either by feeding family, other animals, or plants which would grow more food or give strength to those fed. Is it wrong to violate a chicken, yes it is even if it does no harm and no one sees it because morals are just as much about respect for an ideal or principles than just what feels good and what doesn't.
    If you are a vegan, it is more respectful to put it to rest as its body does not deserve further indignities. If you eat meat, its nutritional value can give strength to others so they themselves can do more good. Is it more moral to do nothing than violate the chicken, this is also a yes. Nature is adapted to dealing with the dead and there are a variety of creatures who would play a part in the disposal of the creature and guarantee that it will not be wasted. More likely, a person who takes the chicken home to violate it will either dispose of it after using it where it will rot among garbage wastefully, they may do something as disgusting as consume it themselves after having already violated it, or feed it to others, or in arguably the "best" case scenario give it back to nature. Regardless, once the chicken has been violated the person has lost all sense of respectability and the chicken itself has had its dignity diminished and usefulness for other greater goods stripped from it. The only reason the person is not immediately vilified is because it is a secret.
    Once found out, you will find most on the left and right will view it as indefensible.

    i feel like the fact that he willingly fucked the chicken means that he has some tendency towards beastiality, and unless its only in combination with necrophilia, i cant imagine him not wanting to do so to a living animal. id say that's messed up. but let's say that his only "taboo" attraction is a combination of necrophilia and beastiality. if so, we should ask the question, does this chicken belong to someone? i live in a state with a lot of farms, so that possibility isnt too far-fetched to me. if it does, then id consider that disrespectful. the owner's probably freaking out wondering where their chicken went, and you just fucked their chicken that they spent all that time nurturing. i cant really excuse that, even if the owner doesn't know about what you did. you could've returned the chicken to them so that they at least get some closure. the question doesnt specify what the guy did with the chicken after he banged it, so that stays open-ended. but what if the chicken belonged to nature and was not tamed? well, chickens do contribute quite a bit to nature. soil that's nurtured by chickens helps reduce runoff and supports healthy water systems. that soil helps replace unhealthy pesticides, which then allows for more presence of bees, birds, and bats. so chickens in turn help increase biodiversity. in addition, letting any mammal's corpse decompose into the soil is nourishing to said soil. so the chicken is useful even in death. this man looked at that, said "nah", and fucked that chicken. that just feels uncomfortable to me. now, that brings up the argument that hunting and eating chicken causes the same issue. difference there is that you need food to survive, and chicken meat is one of the healthier meats for humans. that's contributing to the food chain, which is an important part of nature. no matter how much some nations have ignored it in favor of industrialization, we still contribute to the ecological balance, partly by eating other mammals. now, in this situation, i dont recall there ever being a sex chain. fornicating with the chicken doesn't allow for sexual reproduction, so there's no ecological benefit. he did it for the sake of doing it. this guy's series of actions feel so unnecessary, and even when given a huge benefit of the doubt, can still cause harm in the majority of the scenarios. however, i think that this question is a little incomplete. i think Haidt needs to describe what the man does with the chicken after he has sex with it, and then we can get a clearer picture of the morality of the situation.
    context: i consider myself a very far-left guy, and im not vegan, although maybe that was already established by the remarks about the benefit of chicken meat.

    In this case Fornication with the dead chicken is inherently immoral because the man has clearly stolen aforementioned deceased poultry. Though the befouled fowl was not slain by his hand the man did not seek the legal owner of the corpse and so the method of acquisition is corrupt. Also unless he is the legal owner of the dead chicken, I believe this falls under the crime of vandalism. What a man does privately in his own home and is own property however is no concern of mine, but a matter between himself and God.

    While I mostly agree with your points about understanding the values of the people you're talking to, and the differences in values between people, I would have liked to see more of the data that supports your claim about lefties functionally only caring about care and fairness. I don't have the data either, and I think it's even arguable which values are behind answers to questions. For example, I wouldn't have assigned the fairness value to the bodily autonomy argument that you presented as coming from vegans. I would say that argument cares more about the sanctity of one's body and the respect that it's owed even after death, rather than fairness about how it's treated.
    And on that same note, if lefties all _only_ cared about care and fairness, do you consider anarchists a part of the left? I'd say liberty is quite high up there in their values.
    Finally, I find it quite offputting how you basically essentialized people to their values, and made it sound like it's an unchanging inevitability proven by science, set in stone after some unstated age. You didn't give enough evidence to claim something as concrete as that stance.

      I am very very VERY aware (TOO aware in fact), that a lot of leftists HATE Elon Musk (mostly because he is rich).
      The social philosophies on the left are extremely diverse. The evidence of this is with the amount of political parties "on the left" vs the right. You can also look at the🏳‍🌈🏳‍⚧
      Compared to the Right-wing, the Leftist has a more collectivist type of tribalism (division but with gatekeeping and lockstep unity in each category).

      The Right-wing seems to be more unified on core principles and less likely to socially gatekeep. Repugnant C0*mmunists by the way are on the Left and so is Elon Musk

    I really liked how you use real life examples to explain and develop ideas shared in the book.
    The conclusion is great but I think it needs to be brought up that you could also say the same about debating with conservatives. I think a perfect example is the video of Vaush arguing with the "blacks are inferior" kid
    In my opinion, there are three things that you should be trying to do in a healthy debate
    1) to understand
    2) to be convinced
    3) to convince
    But when you argue with conservatives in the same way that Vaush argued with the kid (*that is, by barely taking two minutes having actual arguments and spending the rest of the time memeing, disrespecting and questioning the interests of the kid*), you're not doing any of those three: the only thing you're achieving is a strong backfire effect. The leftist audience who will have had a few laughs will stay left and the right wingers who will have felt humiliated will stay right.
    And that kid? Who probably had no community and no place to call his home until this group of racist conservatives welcomed him with open hands and called him their own. That kid who probably needs serious help. Will that conversation have helped him? Or will it simply have been a shovel that dug his hole even further? That rooted and locked him in his toxic environment even more than he already was?
    To the kid, that was just pure evidence that no other community will respect and acknowledge him. Food for thought I guess.

      So here's a funny, yet slightly terrifying story.
      I work at a military college in Canada, so despite being in a relatively socially progressive country, my students are oftentimes quite conservative. As part of a segment on moral philosophy, I ask the students a variety of questions, where they raise their hands if they agree with any given statement.
      One time, I asked this hypothetical: if the Commandant (that's the top dog in our military) were to give someone a command and they disobeyed it, would that be immoral?
      I swear, all but one of the students in the class raised their hand.
      I was so caught off guard that I laughed and said "But I didn't even tell you what he asked you to do! He could have asked you to kill an baby!" The class looked stunned at the fact that I was questioning the morality of disobeying the commandant. Like I said in this video: we lefties are really bad at understanding how right wingers think about morality. To them, obeying the word of the commandant is tantamount to obeying the word of God.
      I'll say this, in my personal life, I do have certain ethical appeals to loyalty, and even authority, and I'm sure you do too. I'm sure you'd agree that cheating on a significant other would be a immoral (appeal to betray and breach of loyalty) and that evidence provided by authorities in scientific fields is with more than what Prager U has pumped out this month ;) (ethical appeal to authority) Conservatives just tend to value these categories way more than lefties do.
      Either way, I'm glad this video has made people look at their ethics in a different way, and thank you for taking the time to articulate such a thoughtful response. Cheers.

      ​@@NPC-bs3pmdude I'm not trying to be an ass but you said Elon musk is a leftist in a previous comment I can't take anything you say seriously
      I will say coming from the Republican family an a community, yes more often than not these guys are bigoted or racist in something. Nearly always
      Also back to elon because im still blown away
      You also cited the reason that leftists hate Elon musk is because he's rich?????
      Dog thats not even slightly close to the reason. Also more importantly what the hell is left wing about him??
      Like what in your opinion is the specific thing that he does that makes him a leftist in your eyes

    5:20 Huh......I must be an anomaly considering i pretty much fit into all of these😂 Except that I'm a Christian African-immigrant in the west who just completed college a few weeks ago. Maybe that's why I had no issue saying it's morally wrong to boink an unalive chicken🫠🙃
