Great talk! Also laughed a bit in Finnish/Swiss German at Brittish Passport privilege, even if it is an important issue that needs addressing, everyone needs to be at our level and we need to help people get the same trust. (As you probably know by now I don't have much else than my identity going for me and this privilege has only manifested as "it's best if youcarry the package across, in minecraft".)
I am a am American Black woman and l am not oppressed. I have worked hard for everything that I have and I have learned that people are people. I have been discriminated against by black and white people and helped by black people and white people. My mother taught me that education and hard work are how you get ahead. Some people are assholes but I can do anything I set my mind to if I really want to achieve it. I can do anything if I work for it. That's my life experience. Ms. Brooks is such an amazing woman and speaks the truth.
I love this. It’s the same message that needs to be taught to every generation no matter what race, as it applies to a whole manner of things - my daughter is autistic and if she wants to achieve certain things she has to work really really hard to get ahead - same message that transcends identity politics. Thank you
Im a gay guy of 45 and I went through all those years of friends dying with AIDS, practically no legal right, I've been gay batched and almost lost my life, lost jobs, so we are now culturally living the best Era to be gay that ever existed and I think this younger generation exactly for never really lived oppression keep creating all that fabricated oppression so they have something to be able joining the victimhood community, all those 4000 sexualities and pronouns and this LGBT whatever that keeps growing with a new flag every week, the major problem I see is that back in my days we fought for a chair on the table, we wanted to integrate, to be part of society and be one of the boys, we got that by creating allies, debating, reasoning to people that we are as boring as everyone else, that we still people like everyone else, we build bridges, but now this new group are just burning them, is black mail, or you do what I want or I will make you lose your job and shame you publicly , they are young and dumb because in history that tactic worked only for short while, nobody likes to be put on the corner, is almost like a cult , I'm gay but I'm really giving my LGBT card back , whatever is going in on in the woke /gay/femist thing is more about getting control and power than getting rights
Agree with you. I'm a 50-something gay guy and fed up with the whiny victim mentality virtue signalers. The new population of depressed teenage females claiming to be "trans" are destroying the true, hardworking LGBT community. Years ago, these females were cutting anorexic and bulemic. They are appropriating the trans community for their own selfish attention seeking goals. We LGBT people are going to lose rights because these woke nut cases are igniting the far right to come after us.
I have a teenaged son and let me tell you the kids are lashing back. He and his cohorts think the whole woke thing is ABSURD....and they do lots of memes conveying this...
"people will get angry when I don't see myself as oppressed". People often say this to me (about being a woman) it's frustrating because they are actively trying to make me feel oppressed and on the same level as people/women that actually are oppressed. THANK YOU AFRICA
Actually, I got that too.. I was a staunch leftist liberal.. and when I started to question the race and gender thing, especially modern lgbtiq.. people stalked my previous tweets and used it not to just harm me but my friends that doesn't suscribe to their narrative.. context: I said I didn't agree that JK Rowling is a bad person, that she is genuine in caring for trans and is only focusing on women's rights and safety.. and people used that to hurt people that liked and retweeted me..
I'm just happy for anyone who manages to escape the toxicity that exists within liberalism now. People like you, and Africa hopefully will win the battle and reclaim left wing politics eventually.
@Shimmy Shai I have heard no-one argue that hormones or surgery should be banned. The argument is mostly about whether experimental medical and surgical interventions with a limited evidential base should be applied to children and young people who don't seem to know who they are yet.
I actually had a white woman (she actually looked more like a teenager) in the comments section of a woke UA-cam channel try to explain to me why black and brown people were oppresed. When I sarcastically thanked her, a white woman, for teaching me, a black woman, why I was so oppressed she started backtracking and insisting that she was just recognizing her white privilege. She finally stopped arguing when I told her I was sick of white people like her whitesplaining things to me, she went silent. 😂
Clearly that gave her pause to reassess her perspective, and it sounds like she almost took accountability for herself. But was that the ideal response to reach her, in retrospect?
2020 was extremely pivotal for me. It was the year I woke up too. I’ve learned more about myself in the last 18 months than the 10 years before all together. It sucks to have to go through such a transformation but I’m here now.
@@stoicsociety247 having the world shut down gave me a chance for the first time in my life to just stop. I’d been on the hamster wheel for 20 years so I didn’t have a break and then all of a sudden we’re in a pandemic. That’s when I started to see some of the covid policies that didn’t make sense. Being a nurse, I have an understanding about respiratory disease and the mask thing didn’t make sense to me. That led me to a whole different world. I started noticing the hypocrisy in the media full blast. Thats when I started doing my own research and reading books by people that had different viewpoints than mine historically and that opened my eyes to so many half truths I’d been told. It was really hard too. Realizing you’ve been lied to and brainwashed is not easy to accept.
I remember seeing her speak with Jordan Peterson. Her honesty about herself and her older way of thinking, along with the journey she personally went on - make her an important voice. Hope we see more of her.
@@mazal9895 Agreed. For me, I think the mark of a truly intelligent, honest and reasonable human - is admitting when you got something wrong, and "owning" that. Which Africa completely did with Dr. P.
This is my favorite episode yet! 8+ years sober has definitely allowed me to realize when I am a victim and when I'm a volunteer. I think my self reflection through recovery is really what's brought me to my more middle ground thinking. Being taught to navigate the world as an assertive woman instead of an aggresive one has really given me the ability to have these conversations. I'm so glad I'm not alone in that. Keep it up guys! Africa you're so beautiful, inside and out!
@@johnwade1095 i work with people who fir example had their 13 year old brother taken from home and forced to be a child soldier and that was the last they saw of him or another whose sibling died during the war. And some who escaped forced marriages.
The idea of "going along with the crowd and maintaining the identity" is the #1 difference between Generation X where I'm from (graduated HS in '94) and the current generation, as well as Millennials to a lesser degree. Those from Gen X will remember that the main message in the 80's and 90's was ALL about being an individual; don't be afraid of being different, don't buy into the idea that you have to go along with the crowd, don't be afraid to rock the boat. It was seen as virtue to be weird. Its why IMO some of the most groundbreaking that's happened in culture, music, film and even business (some of the biggest and most successful companies in the world right now were started by Gen X'rs) happened when it did and by whom. Now, it's the polar opposite. "Don't you DARE to deviate from the narrative, or we will burn your existence and tear it from society, root and stem." It's really sad, and quite concerning. I know that every generation looks upon the one that comes after them and predicts the worst, so I'm conscious there may be a bit of that in my own opinion, but I think it IS different in this case. The internet has changed the world for EVERYONE: black/white, rich/poor, old and young. Its one of those paradigm shifting vevents that only comes around once in long time. What was the last thing that changed humanity in this way? The radio? The automobile? The telegraph before that, the steam engine? To find something prior to those you have to go back centuries to the printing press. The impact of the internet is like 2 or 3 of those combined, which IMO indeed DOES make this different. So the question that concerns me, and most everyone else I've heard speak on is this; if Gen-X's desire to be different, to not go along with the crowd gave us Quentin Tarantino, Nirvana, Apple and Tesla's; what does the prevailing attitude of this generation mean for the future?
Fabulous conversation. I love the way she thinks. I’d like to hear more from her about self sabotage. At this time it’s particularly salient. I love her honesty and as a sidebar what a beautiful woman.
@Scott Purcell No forgiveness? No redemption? Don’t you think that’s the ideological equivalent of woke itself? There MUST be forgiveness in civil liberal democracies or frankly they aren’t liberal democracies.
I was immediately taken with her after she spoke about self sabotage and personal development. I'm also quite passionate about that very topic and the steps involved, such as self awareness that are crucial in the process. I saw some of the video of her speaking with Jordan Peterson and his daughter, Mikhaila and was delighted to see her in a Triggernometry video. I'm eager to see where Africa will end up in her career and I'm definitely going to look into her podcast.
Fascinating conversation, it's a shame that people who need to hear this won't,all three explained,very well, the reasons why we're in the social mess we're in at the moment,and nice to hear a fellow Zimbabwean living in the UK coming across so well intellectually,keep up the good work.
"The truth has been made a slave to convenience." That is such a luscious quote, Konstantin. I would submit that this captures the very heart of the times we now live in.
Social media is a cesspit.. A stagnant pool of misery... I really enjoyed this interview.. She was clear with her narrative combined with self awareness & common sense...
Social media has become a new form of addiction, and like most addictions, it is just as self sabotaging. I made a New Year resolution to deactivate my Facebook account, and I am not missing it at all. In fact, I feel somewhat liberated for no longer using it. Also quitting alcohol as well, and that is probably helping (as I tend to rant on Facebook when drunk), so the two kind of go hand in hand for me. Been a good year so far.
I've been having these conversations for years and I'm so grateful for people like you. I've lost friends and left jobs because I don't feel I can stand the way things are going. I'm particularly pleased that people are starting to talk about what happens after people have moved on from 'woke'. I worry that for a lot of people it will be a backlash rather than a thoughtful shift. I'm now losing friends I made during the woke wars! On reflection, that's probably a good thing.
One of the best pieces of advice I could ever give anyone, is that if you want to improve your life and develop yourself, you need to shed friends who will hold you back, and make new ones. As you say, it is a good thing, because friends like that will only accept you if you buy into their cultist mentality. Better to move on and find some friends who are better people.
Finally, a YT channel with intelligent discussions that i may or may not agree with but its present in a non-confrontational, smart, and respectful way. Great job!
it's easy to become pessimistic about the future given the daily grim headlines and hot topics, but blindingly bright young people like africa brooke are always a reminder that there really is hope going forward.... also, i recently discovered triggernometry, don't even remember what led me here, but what an incredible find, you guys are sensational!
Don’t let “I’ve got kids to feed” be why you live with dishonesty within urself. It’s a disservice to the kids and to any hope of living authentic lives themselves they may have.
Incredible conversation! Africa is intelligent, courageous and so vibrant! The conversation between the three of you was wholesome, natural and honest ❤️ LOVED it!!!
@@stephaniefairey8633 I am glad you had the willingness to stay married to him even though he was blind. P know the hardship for a woman with vison having a blind partner is. Some women do not have the will to love a blind person. Glad he taught you many good things. I am sorry for your loss Ma'am.
I'm a recovering alcoholic as well, so I understand her journey, as I am on the same one. One of the most important crucibles you have to go through to get sober, is to recognise the underlying problems in your life that are driving you to drink until you black out. Because until you fix those problems, you will never be able to give it up. Only peace of mind (serenity) can achieve that. That probably explains why she is so based, she has obviously come to terms with her own problems and dealt with them. Addiction is incredibly common in people who are miserable and dislike their own lives, they become self sabotaging as their chosen addiction becomes a coping mechanism, a way of hiding from what they are feeling. The only way to fix that, is to fix your life first. After that, quitting addictions becomes incredibly easy.
Loved this conversation! I saw Africa on Mikhaila Peterson's podcast with Jordan, she's such a genuine, wonderful person. So glad she woke up from the cult and can now speak out as a former member
Thanks for your perspective Africa. I've been struggling with all of this identity politics just lately. I'm an old man, and I thought we'd grown beyond this decades ago. I worked under black and asian guys, worked with black and asian guys (and socialised with them outside of work) and even had a black guy apprenticed to me when I became a qualified electrical technician. There was never any disrespect in either direction and skin colour was never brought up. Where has all this recent division come from?
What a goddess. You all should read Euel Arden’s novel - Down Here in the Warmth. How glorious to see all these stars rise from the black community and truly lift them higher, Without resorting to victimhood mentality. We all rise together and are moving forward into the future.
Africa spoke about being working class and her mum starting from zero, which is not oppression, it’s hard work. I came from a working class family and everything I own, I have worked hard for. I feel her and for anyone who has dragged their asses up from the bottom to have a better life. I love being called white privileged because it means someone doesn’t like what I have done. There’s a wrong thinking that we have came in at the back end of something and many people suffer from it. The people who suffer from this procrastination are the people who are shouting the loudest. Great conversation
Two points. 1. This woman is a beast...what a warrior... May God bless her for her journey. 2. Africa's comments on The Sopranos are superb...what a great take on a popular TV series. It showed, in it's way, that every human is nuanced and no one of is all good or all bad.
This conversation is brilliantly put, also so simple to understand for everyone I’d hope.and I really do hope it gets to some people that feel trapped in their sometimes wrong reality of what is actually life. Some people are racist and we need laws and sanctions for that because it’s what’s right. Some countries have a worse background about racism than others and putting them all in the same pot is detrimental to our lives, both white and black(and anyone else that relates). It’s the fact that you can’t speak up because of the possible backlash. Anyways absolutely brilliant conversation, more like brilliant discourse from Africa. She’s absolutely amazing and true, she’s herself with her own thoughts and ideas and not afraid to speak up, an absolute role model for me and hopefully many others
Thank you Africa, you are one inspirational, radically honest kickass lady! And I say that as another woman on a journey through all this, crying out for female role models who can help normalise speaking out, being authentic, challenging received opinions and so on. The comments around why women are afraid to go against the grain by KK are spot on. And Francis at 35:21 says one of the most profound, thought provoking things I have ever heard on the subject of depression. Blown away by this interview.
Love her!!...... watched her interview with JLP and was greatly impressed. She’s a very astute person and such a great example of how strong the human heart and mind can be. It’s so good to see someone come into themselves. 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Such a charming beauty. Who is not enchanted by her grace and elegance? I know, that's not supposed to be the point, focusing on the beauty rather than the ideas. But I'm only human.
THIS. Have been racking my brain for solutions and segues into an arena that allows all points of view and then I listened to this interview. By far the BEST video I have eve seen on YT. Africa Brooke is the most well-spoken and eloquent human being on the planet and FF and KK are right behind her asking all the right questions. How lucky am I to find this video at a time that I had almost given up hope on solutions, answers and pathways to peace. I am ccrying right now because a brick wall in my own brain has just been demolished. The authenticity and courage of these 3 wonderful people will hopefully become the flashlight that we all need to find our way out of the cave we have been forced to live in for the past several years.
I absolutely love how Africa takes time to think before answering a question. More people should do this and be fine with the silence as it is important to think before saying something on important subjects.
Young people have problem with silence and they talk and talk saying a lot of fancy words but nothing meaningful . It’s like they are repeating what they hear and just repeating those same words because it makes them seem intelligent and “ inclusive” . There’s no thinking or self reflection just spitting “wokeness” ideologies.
Nothing like a very lovely and articulate young lady accentuating her point using the "F" word. It just doesn't get better than that. Love, love, love it.
@@stevejhkhfda That's odd, I wrote it and it's there. I wasn't being a total dick. Louis CK said it better than me about the "N Word" point is, when people write "The F Word" the audience have to swear in their own heads. Own it, otherwise it comes off as cowardly. No one is going to be offended, she said it here, where we all are, reading this. But, if it is censoring you, then you have no choice. Explaining comedy is like dissecting a frog, we understand it better, but it dies in the process :-)
What a beautiful, articulate, Intelligent and insightful lady. This is the kind of woman I would love for my baby daughter to look up to as she grows older
As someone with a mulricultural background I can resonate a lot with what Africa is saying. It got to the point where I hated being multicultural due to the self-serving agenda some people have and impose. The only thing is Afrca swears a bit too much for my taste
According to William von Hippel, evolutionary psychologist, empathy and aggression are two sides of the same coin. In our evolutionary past, we learned that being part of a group protected us from threats better than being one against the world. Empathy and kindness are the glue that binds the group together. They make us cooperative, and they make us effective in driving off predators and other aggressors. I think this is why mob behaviour looks so primitive. Having said that, I know from my own experience that standing alone against the group can also be powerful. I've done it many times in my life. For the most part, when I look at the group from this vantage point, the members of that group look scared. But I'm talking about groups in the real world, not online. I find echo chambers and online relationships rather fake. It's bizarre to me when I compare a friend in real life to their online persona - the latter looks like confidence trickery. Which Is partly why I don't do SM, apart from the rarest of rare comments on a UA-cam podcast.
Just watching this sums up perfectly how great this channel is. KK & FF taking time to listen, probe, unpick, expand on points provides for a great and educational experience. Thanks!
The hyper vigilance part is spot on. I had someone demand a full explanation on why i had liked a particular tweet on twitter. At that time, I had never ever interacted with anyone on twitter personally. It was the first ever PM in my inbox. I was flabbergasted and slightly.. creeped out because I didn't know anyone on the platform and someone had taken the trouble to keep track of what I had liked and wanted to control it. That was the beginning of my apologetic nature on that platform and I walked on eggshells all the time as I had internalised such a mentality. I stopped using it as much and I'm much happier now. And there is definitely a higher percentage of women becoming influenced by this mentality. Women tend to be more protective? and need to conform? I definitely felt that in the echo chamber. I was terrified of being called out and becoming an outcast. I only began waking up when I began listening to voices that do not apologise and seek the truth like this channel and JP.
I just read Africa's open letter and watched a one minute video, and I wanted to hear more from her. What an incredible lady with such a refreshing attitude. Bravo Africa.
Also, having an emotionally suppressed upbringing can make emotions come out even more (usually in anger and even rage). So, if women are told to go against the narrative of them being more emotional, they (ironically) get more emotional.
My longest blackout was only six hours: she's got me beaten. And I woke up in hospital... but it was in the nurse's quarters with a nurse, so I'm not complaining.
2020 BLM uproar swept up many people emotionally- I just looked back at old posts and saw how much anger and pain was overflowing from that time. I also stopped drinking in 2020! Amazing guest thank you!
BLM is a LGBT fraud , which has been co-opted by Liberal White people. Their demonstrations show this. They are a joke. Serious Black activists do not respect them at all.
Thank you for saying what I have been thinking for a while now! There is a dark side to empathy, and people are using it to cross other people's boundaries and give up their rights and property.
I wonder if we shouldn't call that "selective empathy" or "excuse empathy". The Marxists who have starved and murdered millions always point to "empathy" as their starting place. It's hard to believe anyone thought Holdimor had anything to do with being empathetic.
@@nealorr5086 I'm going to go with "malevolent empathy," "sociopathic empathy" or maybe "militant empathy." "Malevolent benevolence" also has a nice ring to it.
I noticed a lot of what Jordan Peterson talks about in terms of history and human behavior here in this video. While he is off about some of his analogies, and his perspective about things not in his field are also occasionally off, I do see a reemergence of historical patterns in recent trends. As it pertains to this selective empathy: even as a kid I always knew there was something I didn't trust about employees in the public schools, and in social services of government. Victimology is scratching the surface, but when it comes to people like J. Richard Cohen, this "empathetic" appeal in their approach is an approach which serves his divisive purposes twofold: 1) it allows him to frame and steer the discussion/discourse in the direction of his preference, for his agenda, to push his political bent on the impressionable and his allies. 2) a litmus test to see whom he can't win over by his methods, those who are seeing through his machinations, and not buying it. He can then target these people and basically incite the mob against anyone who might call him out. He reminds me of weirdo teachers who would accuse me of things I didn't do and even continue to lie to my face about it once I proved my innocence. Very often these were the same "empathetic" people. When you call them out they gaslight you and tell you that you don't know what you are talking about, and try to go on a power trip telling you that the bill of rights doesn't apply to minors. The distinction between leftist versus a liberal or at least someone I simply don't see eye-to-eye with, to me, is that a leftist uses empathy in this disingenuous way, whereas someone I merely disagree with I can still see as fellow human beings.
Brilliant interview guys, love Africa! There were some interesting discussions about emotional instability and a certain type of activist. One guy you might want to check out is Joshua Slocum a guy who left the social justice movement when he saw reflections of the borderline personality disorder (aka emotionally unstable personality disorder) his mother had. He likens the abusive online behaviors to the abusive behaviors of his mother. If ever you've dealt with a vulnerable narcissist you'll see the same weaponised empathy and emotional manipulation
Very interesting interview with Africa. My own alcoholic binges (at the worst stage it was around six days a week for a number of years) drove me to depression and has taken me years to get on top of, I still have the occasional loss of self control but it's very rare now. Going through all the different processes to beat it was and is all down to me and unless I dealt with it, I would be in a much worse place now or dead. Self responsibility simply is the most important thing.
Glad to hear you're doing ok, been part way down that hole. I feel self respect, plays a big part in self responsibility. Hopefully it's been nurtured and supported in one's life, or that struggle, along with no clear good behaviour models, is harder. I was lucky, many of the young people I worked with, didn't have it in their locker and tended to learn by bad experience after bad experience.
Getting sober was a life changer at the age of 27 was a process with a couple drops off the wagon, but now at 32 I can safely say I’ll never touch another drop. Accepting alcoholism and understanding how it affects permanent changes in a person’s chemical structure is hard to fully accept and turn into practice. Uhg the shameful ideology’s I accepted when I was still wet. So glad to hear this interview
Never seen Africa Brooke before, Fucking hell, what a amazing human being, listening to you really makes me think there is hope for the human race after all.
Absolutely agree about the willingness to take a risk, this is a superb point. We must all learn to speak, engage in debate and be honest with our partners and the people who come into our lives. The alternative is to be bullied by the world; what an awful way to live. This is absolutely a personal process.

Well said 👏 power but also misdirected anger.
Not all feminists. Just as not all gays. A big feminist current is gender critical and opposes this ridiculous stuff.
Powerful. Thx for sharing your story.

"We've rejected discomfort as an essential part of growth"

Yeah, that's my issue too: Wokeness hides actual inequality that we struggle to change. And no one is born in wrong body, jesus christ.
@Shimmy Shai no it’s not because I don’t control people by not sharing their belief.
@Shimmy Shai what are you even talking about?
@Shimmy Shai I have heard no-one argue that hormones or surgery should be banned. The argument is mostly about whether experimental medical and surgical interventions with a limited evidential base should be applied to children and young people who don't seem to know who they are yet.

When I sarcastically thanked her, a white woman, for teaching me, a black woman, why I was so oppressed she started backtracking and insisting that she was just recognizing her white privilege. She finally stopped arguing when I told her I was sick of white people like her whitesplaining things to me, she went silent. 😂
Clearly that gave her pause to reassess her perspective, and it sounds like she almost took accountability for herself. But was that the ideal response to reach her, in retrospect?
Whitesplaining....I like that 😂
Well done.
destroy the white lefty scum.
Oh I wish I could've seen that!
2020 was extremely pivotal for me. It was the year I woke up too. I’ve learned more about myself in the last 18 months than the 10 years before all together. It sucks to have to go through such a transformation but I’m here now.
Can I ask what you mean by woke up? Genuinely interested to know. Thank you
@@stoicsociety247 having the world shut down gave me a chance for the first time in my life to just stop. I’d been on the hamster wheel for 20 years so I didn’t have a break and then all of a sudden we’re in a pandemic.
That’s when I started to see some of the covid policies that didn’t make sense. Being a nurse, I have an understanding about respiratory disease and the mask thing didn’t make sense to me. That led me to a whole different world. I started noticing the hypocrisy in the media full blast.
Thats when I started doing my own research and reading books by people that had different viewpoints than mine historically and that opened my eyes to so many half truths I’d been told.
It was really hard too. Realizing you’ve been lied to and brainwashed is not easy to accept.

What a lovely young woman. She has reignited my hope in humans.
Wow, I'm not gonna lie, this lady is very beautiful...wow True beauty
There's nothing she's said that I could imagine being said any better by anyone else. What a brilliant woman... thanks for having her on!
I remember seeing her speak with Jordan Peterson.
Her honesty about herself and her older way of thinking, along with the journey she personally went on - make her an important voice.
Hope we see more of her.
I saw that too - very brave & inspiring young lady!
@@mazal9895 Agreed. For me, I think the mark of a truly intelligent, honest and reasonable human - is admitting when you got something wrong, and "owning" that. Which Africa completely did with Dr. P.
Listening to her speak is yet another reminder of why I love this channel. Very sharp and insightful.
This channel is subversive. There is no way that Blacks will every think this way and this channel wants you to waste time thinking otherwise.
@@markymarkali so angry.
This is my favorite episode yet! 8+ years sober has definitely allowed me to realize when I am a victim and when I'm a volunteer. I think my self reflection through recovery is really what's brought me to my more middle ground thinking. Being taught to navigate the world as an assertive woman instead of an aggresive one has really given me the ability to have these conversations. I'm so glad I'm not alone in that. Keep it up guys! Africa you're so beautiful, inside and out!
1 year sober for me, it is life changing and eye opening. Congrats on your sober health & journey :)
@@queengoblin congratulations 🎊 keep going! 💛
Beautiful, graceful, and intelligent. I loooove her
Thank you Ms. Brooke. Your courage and honesty is both inspiring and refreshing.
That's exactly what I feel when people speak about being oppressed - it's really like a slap in the face of all those people who are really oppressed.

Thank you for having Africa on your channel. She is so very switched on. Her energy just draws you in and compels you to listen.
The idea of "going along with the crowd and maintaining the identity" is the #1 difference between Generation X where I'm from (graduated HS in '94) and the current generation, as well as Millennials to a lesser degree. Those from Gen X will remember that the main message in the 80's and 90's was ALL about being an individual; don't be afraid of being different, don't buy into the idea that you have to go along with the crowd, don't be afraid to rock the boat. It was seen as virtue to be weird. Its why IMO some of the most groundbreaking that's happened in culture, music, film and even business (some of the biggest and most successful companies in the world right now were started by Gen X'rs) happened when it did and by whom.
Now, it's the polar opposite. "Don't you DARE to deviate from the narrative, or we will burn your existence and tear it from society, root and stem." It's really sad, and quite concerning. I know that every generation looks upon the one that comes after them and predicts the worst, so I'm conscious there may be a bit of that in my own opinion, but I think it IS different in this case. The internet has changed the world for EVERYONE: black/white, rich/poor, old and young. Its one of those paradigm shifting vevents that only comes around once in long time. What was the last thing that changed humanity in this way? The radio? The automobile? The telegraph before that, the steam engine? To find something prior to those you have to go back centuries to the printing press. The impact of the internet is like 2 or 3 of those combined, which IMO indeed DOES make this different.
So the question that concerns me, and most everyone else I've heard speak on is this; if Gen-X's desire to be different, to not go along with the crowd gave us Quentin Tarantino, Nirvana, Apple and Tesla's; what does the prevailing attitude of this generation mean for the future?
Fabulous conversation. I love the way she thinks. I’d like to hear more from her about self sabotage. At this time it’s particularly salient. I love her honesty and as a sidebar what a beautiful woman.
@Scott Purcell What are you talking about?
@Scott Purcell No forgiveness? No redemption? Don’t you think that’s the ideological equivalent of woke itself?
There MUST be forgiveness in civil liberal democracies or frankly they aren’t liberal democracies.
Right? Great conversation. And right!? 😍 She’s gorgeous.
@@kerryj2260 You mean they aren't civil. Forgiveness has no inherent tie with the concept of democracy as it does with civility.
I was immediately taken with her after she spoke about self sabotage and personal development. I'm also quite passionate about that very topic and the steps involved, such as self awareness that are crucial in the process.
I saw some of the video of her speaking with Jordan Peterson and his daughter, Mikhaila and was delighted to see her in a Triggernometry video.
I'm eager to see where Africa will end up in her career and I'm definitely going to look into her podcast.
Fascinating conversation, it's a shame that people who need to hear this won't,all three explained,very well, the reasons why we're in the social mess we're in at the moment,and nice to hear a fellow Zimbabwean living in the UK coming across so well intellectually,keep up the good work.
"The truth has been made a slave to convenience."
That is such a luscious quote, Konstantin.
I would submit that this captures the very heart of the times we now live in.
"weaponized empathy" was very good as well I thought
wow
Social media is a cesspit.. A stagnant pool of misery... I really enjoyed this interview.. She was clear with her narrative combined with self awareness & common sense...
Social media has become a new form of addiction, and like most addictions, it is just as self sabotaging. I made a New Year resolution to deactivate my Facebook account, and I am not missing it at all. In fact, I feel somewhat liberated for no longer using it. Also quitting alcohol as well, and that is probably helping (as I tend to rant on Facebook when drunk), so the two kind of go hand in hand for me.
Been a good year so far.
@@zalamael Good for you for quitting both 💯...
@@joanclawford8964 Thanks. I have a feeling this is going to be a great year.
Beautiful, insightful, intelligent woman…. Great interview
Leaving wokeness has been one of the best things for me.
Interested to know - how did you find yourself there in the first place?
What was the process of leaving like?
I've been having these conversations for years and I'm so grateful for people like you. I've lost friends and left jobs because I don't feel I can stand the way things are going. I'm particularly pleased that people are starting to talk about what happens after people have moved on from 'woke'. I worry that for a lot of people it will be a backlash rather than a thoughtful shift. I'm now losing friends I made during the woke wars! On reflection, that's probably a good thing.
One of the best pieces of advice I could ever give anyone, is that if you want to improve your life and develop yourself, you need to shed friends who will hold you back, and make new ones. As you say, it is a good thing, because friends like that will only accept you if you buy into their cultist mentality. Better to move on and find some friends who are better people.
They weren’t really your friends
Integrity, values, principles and strength
the more spoiled women are the more they think they are oppressed
Finally, a YT channel with intelligent discussions that i may or may not agree with but its present in a non-confrontational, smart, and respectful way. Great job!
I totally agree. When growing up in the UK I was never oppressed.
As a Derby County supporter growing up in Stoke City territory I was most certainly oppressed.

Don’t let “I’ve got kids to feed” be why you live with dishonesty within urself. It’s a disservice to the kids and to any hope of living authentic lives themselves they may have.
Incredible conversation! Africa is intelligent, courageous and so vibrant! The conversation between the three of you was wholesome, natural and honest ❤️ LOVED it!!!
When you said 'weaponizing empathy' - it really resonated.
I loved listening to this - the whole thing was so thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you so much!
As a blind person I decided years ago I will never allow anyone to define who I am and what I think of myself.
My late hubby was blind too. He was himself, and didn't give a fuck either. Amazing man - he taught me so much.
@@stephaniefairey8633 I am glad you had the willingness to stay married to him even though he was blind. P know the hardship for a woman with vison having a blind partner is. Some women do not have the will to love a blind person. Glad he taught you many good things. I am sorry for your loss Ma'am.
I'm a recovering alcoholic as well, so I understand her journey, as I am on the same one. One of the most important crucibles you have to go through to get sober, is to recognise the underlying problems in your life that are driving you to drink until you black out. Because until you fix those problems, you will never be able to give it up. Only peace of mind (serenity) can achieve that.
That probably explains why she is so based, she has obviously come to terms with her own problems and dealt with them. Addiction is incredibly common in people who are miserable and dislike their own lives, they become self sabotaging as their chosen addiction becomes a coping mechanism, a way of hiding from what they are feeling. The only way to fix that, is to fix your life first. After that, quitting addictions becomes incredibly easy.
Great interview! I love this young lady…the world needs hear her story!!
LOVE this woman! Courageous, honest, passionate & focused. We could all learn a lot from her.
BEAUTIFUL WOMAN!
Loved this conversation! I saw Africa on Mikhaila Peterson's podcast with Jordan, she's such a genuine, wonderful person. So glad she woke up from the cult and can now speak out as a former member
Thanks for your perspective Africa. I've been struggling with all of this identity politics just lately. I'm an old man, and I thought we'd grown beyond this decades ago. I worked under black and asian guys, worked with black and asian guys (and socialised with them outside of work) and even had a black guy apprenticed to me when I became a qualified electrical technician. There was never any disrespect in either direction and skin colour was never brought up. Where has all this recent division come from?
What a goddess. You all should read Euel Arden’s novel - Down Here in the Warmth. How glorious to see all these stars rise from the black community and truly lift them higher, Without resorting to victimhood mentality. We all rise together and are moving forward into the future.
That's on my to read list!
Africa spoke about being working class and her mum starting from zero, which is not oppression, it’s hard work. I came from a working class family and everything I own, I have worked hard for. I feel her and for anyone who has dragged their asses up from the bottom to have a better life. I love being called white privileged because it means someone doesn’t like what I have done. There’s a wrong thinking that we have came in at the back end of something and many people suffer from it. The people who suffer from this procrastination are the people who are shouting the loudest. Great conversation
Wokeness is post modernism. Post modernism is nihilism. Nihilism is, by definition, emotionally destructive.
What a beautiful, intelligent individual. The Western world needs clear thinkers like her to guide it through this madness.
Two points.
1. This woman is a beast...what a warrior... May God bless her for her journey.
2. Africa's comments on The Sopranos are superb...what a great take on a popular TV series. It showed, in it's way, that every human is nuanced and no one of is all good or all bad.
This conversation is brilliantly put, also so simple to understand for everyone I’d hope.and I really do hope it gets to some people that feel trapped in their sometimes wrong reality of what is actually life. Some people are racist and we need laws and sanctions for that because it’s what’s right. Some countries have a worse background about racism than others and putting them all in the same pot is detrimental to our lives, both white and black(and anyone else that relates). It’s the fact that you can’t speak up because of the possible backlash. Anyways absolutely brilliant conversation, more like brilliant discourse from Africa. She’s absolutely amazing and true, she’s herself with her own thoughts and ideas and not afraid to speak up, an absolute role model for me and hopefully many others
Commitment to integrity. Pass on the message. Pass it on.
Thank you Africa, you are one inspirational, radically honest kickass lady! And I say that as another woman on a journey through all this, crying out for female role models who can help normalise speaking out, being authentic, challenging received opinions and so on. The comments around why women are afraid to go against the grain by KK are spot on. And Francis at 35:21 says one of the most profound, thought provoking things I have ever heard on the subject of depression. Blown away by this interview.
What I love so much about this interview is the amount of humour and laughter. Africa is great and gives me great hope that we can turn things around.
Africa is quite an individual. Very impressive.
Love her!!...... watched her interview with JLP and was greatly impressed. She’s a very astute person and such a great example of how strong the human heart and mind can be. It’s so good to see someone come into themselves. 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Such a charming beauty. Who is not enchanted by her grace and elegance? I know, that's not supposed to be the point, focusing on the beauty rather than the ideas. But I'm only human.
THIS. Have been racking my brain for solutions and segues into an arena that allows all points of view and then I listened to this interview. By far the BEST video I have eve seen on YT. Africa Brooke is the most well-spoken and eloquent human being on the planet and FF and KK are right behind her asking all the right questions. How lucky am I to find this video at a time that I had almost given up hope on solutions, answers and pathways to peace. I am ccrying right now because a brick wall in my own brain has just been demolished. The authenticity and courage of these 3 wonderful people will hopefully become the flashlight that we all need to find our way out of the cave we have been forced to live in for the past several years.
Check out Jordan Peterson
Middle ground is my second name. Great, intelligent, honest conversation. I loved it.
I absolutely love how Africa takes time to think before answering a question. More people should do this and be fine with the silence as it is important to think before saying something on important subjects.
Young people have problem with silence and they talk and talk saying a lot of fancy words but nothing meaningful . It’s like they are repeating what they hear and just repeating those same words because it makes them seem intelligent and “ inclusive” . There’s no thinking or self reflection just spitting “wokeness” ideologies.
Nothing like a very lovely and articulate young lady accentuating her point using the "F" word. It just doesn't get better than that. Love, love, love it.
The most beautiful bald woman in the world. Very insightful too!
wow! thank goodness for this conversation. Can we all stop walking on eggshells now? Brilliant, thank you.
That's always the thing, people don't like to admit they were wrong. It's hard to be honest with yourself. Much respect 🙏🏼
Powerful; vulnerable; truthful, profound. Thank you Africa 🦾✨

According to William von Hippel, evolutionary psychologist, empathy and aggression are two sides of the same coin. In our evolutionary past, we learned that being part of a group protected us from threats better than being one against the world. Empathy and kindness are the glue that binds the group together. They make us cooperative, and they make us effective in driving off predators and other aggressors. I think this is why mob behaviour looks so primitive.
Having said that, I know from my own experience that standing alone against the group can also be powerful. I've done it many times in my life. For the most part, when I look at the group from this vantage point, the members of that group look scared. But I'm talking about groups in the real world, not online. I find echo chambers and online relationships rather fake. It's bizarre to me when I compare a friend in real life to their online persona - the latter looks like confidence trickery. Which Is partly why I don't do SM, apart from the rarest of rare comments on a UA-cam podcast.
"We all just want a tribe". Nothing could be more true
What a great girl. Love her attitude.
Just watching this sums up perfectly how great this channel is. KK & FF taking time to listen, probe, unpick, expand on points provides for a great and educational experience. Thanks!
The hyper vigilance part is spot on. I had someone demand a full explanation on why i had liked a particular tweet on twitter. At that time, I had never ever interacted with anyone on twitter personally. It was the first ever PM in my inbox. I was flabbergasted and slightly.. creeped out because I didn't know anyone on the platform and someone had taken the trouble to keep track of what I had liked and wanted to control it. That was the beginning of my apologetic nature on that platform and I walked on eggshells all the time as I had internalised such a mentality. I stopped using it as much and I'm much happier now.
And there is definitely a higher percentage of women becoming influenced by this mentality. Women tend to be more protective? and need to conform? I definitely felt that in the echo chamber. I was terrified of being called out and becoming an outcast. I only began waking up when I began listening to voices that do not apologise and seek the truth like this channel and JP.
I just read Africa's open letter and watched a one minute video, and I wanted to hear more from her. What an incredible lady with such a refreshing attitude. Bravo Africa.
Also, having an emotionally suppressed upbringing can make emotions come out even more (usually in anger and even rage). So, if women are told to go against the narrative of them being more emotional, they (ironically) get more emotional.
My longest blackout was only six hours: she's got me beaten. And I woke up in hospital... but it was in the nurse's quarters with a nurse, so I'm not complaining.
2020 BLM uproar swept up many people emotionally- I just looked back at old posts and saw how much anger and pain was overflowing from that time. I also stopped drinking in 2020! Amazing guest thank you!
Congrats on your decision! I also stopped drinking (and drugs) in 2020! Two years sober and going strong!
Only the easily manipulated.
BLM is a LGBT fraud , which has been co-opted by Liberal White people. Their demonstrations show this. They are a joke. Serious Black activists do not respect them at all.
This lady emanates strength and conviction .
Thank you for saying what I have been thinking for a while now! There is a dark side to empathy, and people are using it to cross other people's boundaries and give up their rights and property.
I wonder if we shouldn't call that "selective empathy" or "excuse empathy". The Marxists who have starved and murdered millions always point to "empathy" as their starting place. It's hard to believe anyone thought Holdimor had anything to do with being empathetic.
@@nealorr5086
I'm going to go with "malevolent empathy," "sociopathic empathy" or maybe "militant empathy."
"Malevolent benevolence" also has a nice ring to it.
@@anybody2501 Virulent Empathy? Amokathy?

I noticed a lot of what Jordan Peterson talks about in terms of history and human behavior here in this video. While he is off about some of his analogies, and his perspective about things not in his field are also occasionally off, I do see a reemergence of historical patterns in recent trends.
As it pertains to this selective empathy: even as a kid I always knew there was something I didn't trust about employees in the public schools, and in social services of government.
Victimology is scratching the surface, but when it comes to people like J. Richard Cohen, this "empathetic" appeal in their approach is an approach which serves his divisive purposes twofold:
1) it allows him to frame and steer the discussion/discourse in the direction of his preference, for his agenda, to push his political bent on the impressionable and his allies.
2) a litmus test to see whom he can't win over by his methods, those who are seeing through his machinations, and not buying it. He can then target these people and basically incite the mob against anyone who might call him out.
He reminds me of weirdo teachers who would accuse me of things I didn't do and even continue to lie to my face about it once I proved my innocence. Very often these were the same "empathetic" people. When you call them out they gaslight you and tell you that you don't know what you are talking about, and try to go on a power trip telling you that the bill of rights doesn't apply to minors.
The distinction between leftist versus a liberal or at least someone I simply don't see eye-to-eye with, to me, is that a leftist uses empathy in this disingenuous way, whereas someone I merely disagree with I can still see as fellow human beings.
So much respect for her. Walking away from the extreme left can upend your entire life. We all know how they play.
Great interview. Found Africa Brooke through Jordan Petersons interview.
What a woman! Great conversation, thanks a lot for bringing her to your show.
There are more people like her out there. They just don't get the platforms they deserve.
Great point about tribalism, Francis, and the importance of being authentic.
I needed this with my struggles ATM. Thank you so much
Your struggles...Ass To Mouth? Huh?
Self-sabotage on a collective level.... WOW what a brilliant insight.
Brilliant interview guys, love Africa!
There were some interesting discussions about emotional instability and a certain type of activist.
One guy you might want to check out is Joshua Slocum a guy who left the social justice movement when he saw reflections of the borderline personality disorder (aka emotionally unstable personality disorder) his mother had. He likens the abusive online behaviors to the abusive behaviors of his mother.
If ever you've dealt with a vulnerable narcissist you'll see the same weaponised empathy and emotional manipulation
Now, so elegant, in every way, in her wise sobriety. From disaster to a valuable, graceful role model. I salute this young woman, Africa Brooke.
Very interesting interview with Africa. My own alcoholic binges (at the worst stage it was around six days a week for a number of years) drove me to depression and has taken me years to get on top of, I still have the occasional loss of self control but it's very rare now. Going through all the different processes to beat it was and is all down to me and unless I dealt with it, I would be in a much worse place now or dead. Self responsibility simply is the most important thing.
Yeah. Being smart is simple. Just avoid BS. It works.
Glad to hear you're doing ok, been part way down that hole. I feel self respect, plays a big part in self responsibility. Hopefully it's been nurtured and supported in one's life, or that struggle, along with no clear good behaviour models, is harder. I was lucky, many of the young people I worked with, didn't have it in their locker and tended to learn by bad experience after bad experience.
One of the best conversations you guys have had, Africa, KK and Francis I applaud and appreciate you all.
Getting sober was a life changer at the age of 27 was a process with a couple drops off the wagon, but now at 32 I can safely say I’ll never touch another drop.
Accepting alcoholism and understanding how it affects permanent changes in a person’s chemical structure is hard to fully accept and turn into practice.
Uhg the shameful ideology’s I accepted when I was still wet.
So glad to hear this interview
Never seen Africa Brooke before, Fucking hell, what a amazing human being, listening to you really makes me think there is hope for the human race after all.
Thank you for this channel and the guest you have on. Great stuff peeps!
Absolutely agree about the willingness to take a risk, this is a superb point. We must all learn to speak, engage in debate and be honest with our partners and the people who come into our lives. The alternative is to be bullied by the world; what an awful way to live. This is absolutely a personal process.
For me, this lady is the epitome of elegance. She is so beautiful and gracious that hurts my eyes. Sending my best wishes ❤
