You earned an incalculable amount of respect by pausing and looking up the author and term you were unfamiliar with and in your own way educating yourself and checking the basic credibility of the ideas being put forward
I have actually learned so much by doing the same. I hate it when people just go forward with their ignorance when you have the internet RIGHT THERE to enlighten you on virtually anything. I think I at least learn a definition for a word or fact on a subject every day. I do this a lot in the comment section as a matter of fact when I'm not 100% sure on something.
Nothing wrong with being ignorant, not trying to change that is where the issue comes in.
@@snoox27 That's the truth.
Most people just snicker and roll their eyes. "That's not what CNN taught me,must not be true"
Did you see the part where he is a felon, pardoned by trump and accused of domestic violence? 😂 How about watched his movie “2000 mules”? It’s the best comedy I’ve seen in years.
"Who ever controls the media controls the mind"- Jim Morrison
How's Jim doing, nowadays?
I'm not a "liberal"...but, according to your definition I am...we all need to at least LISTEN to each other and discuss as rational human beings...great video Alex
If liberals had it their way you would be double masked triple boosted $10 a gallon and you would make up the majority of votes the other 81 million don’t matter. The socialist Democratic Party isn’t just America it’s Saudi Arabia Venezuela Costa Rica wherever the Biden family included in the energy power grab. Hope you have lots of wind lol or you can afford an electric car. Or you can stay in your condensed city Un armed and double masked.
Right on bro. Great comment.
As a conservative, I respect you and your views and insight.
True liberals and conservatives have much in common. Working together might be only way to save America from far sides of either party.
Not in today's world
@@manleyking3083 as a former liberal myself I agree to disagree.
"Lliberals" today are left wing
Fuzzy definitions.True liberalism went the way of the dodo.
@@manleyking3083 true
Why I'm no longer one. Yet some who still are might not be too far gone to help.
Love how you defined liberal. I admit I’m a conservative but I try to steer clear of calling the ideological “left” liberals because, like you said, a liberal is an actual thing.
The Modern Left stole away liberal starting with the Fabians and "New Liberals" in England toward the end of the 19th century. Now liberal is just a front for various neoliberal and socialist policies pretending to be liberal.
There's a big difference between liberal and leftist. The far left, Leftists are Marxist. They are every bit as bad as the far, extreme right.
That's what the left do. They take a title and mutilate it. Then call you names if you won't conform. They aren't liberals. They aren't anti fascist. They don't care about black or gay rights.
What's amazing is I would identify as a conservative as well but by the definition that he pulled up, I would fit the bill as a Liberal. Which really calls into question the definitions and identities of terms being used in politics these days. Like you said, that definition doesnt really fit most of the Left today.
Its more liberaterian that left side liberal, they are like the invisible 3rd party
The fact that he looked up the dude D'Souza was referencing in the middle of the video says a lot. More due diligence than most reporters these days.
Relying on a Wikipedia description of someone who is right wing is like learning about capitalism by reading a communists description of it. 😅
So true. Wikipedia is like Google, Facebook or twitter. It's just a propaganda tool.
Exactly what I was thinking. Especially when the actual co-founder of Wikipedia (Larry Sanger) explicitly says that the information on Wikipedia is far left and totally unreliable and pure propaganda.
Cope.
@@Ninjaananas nice try commie
That wikipedia biography of Dinesh paints him in such a bad way
well of course it does. who controls the internet? the left.
What did you expect? Wikipedia is crazy biased.
Of course as it literally only lets lefties edit. Steven Crowder has a video on this very topic.
@@Joshua_Froschauer Its the only people who have the time 😂
I love when I find out the people whose content I enjoy are actually decent and rational.
Same here.
As a conservative, nothing but respect for you. I agree wholly with what you said and applaud you for taking the time to listen to D'Souza.
I'm more right leaning but realized 16 years ago at 16 that both parties suck but as Bongino says "Republicans may not be the solution to your problem, but the Democrats are in fact the cause of your problems". I voted Trump because he called out both parties for being ridiculous.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. I discovered De Souza a few years ago & never heard these great arguments before.
You should absolutely take a deep dive into Thomas Sowell.
Your a true liberal. Some people say they liberal but are really not.
This is a good video and never thought about it like that.
Yeah, a fake liberal is someone who tries to present themselves as progressive and inclusive, but they crap on anyone who doesn't think exactly the way they do. Just saying. If someone is a "true" liberal I'm with you all the way. ☮👍
If you would follow some conservative black people, you would find out that referring to the Democrat party as a plantation and referring to the poor inner cities that the Democrats control as contemporary plantations is a fairly regular occurrence. And the arguments are pretty convincing.
Thank you for your bravery. Even listening to this man makes you a target. You don't have to agree. just listen
And then laugh because of how dumb he is.
When it comes to guns in Chicago, it is illegal for someone FROM Chicago to travel into another state and buy a gun. If those guns are truly coming from other states, they are totally illegal guns. I can't say it ISN'T happening but it is already illegal and if we addressed that issue, which is already illegal, we might get somewhere. Simply making something MORE illegal, when we are doing little to curtail the already illegal activity, won't change much.
I love the fact that you’re open to new ideas and by hearing different ideas, it doesn’t offend you. That’s what’s wrong with society today. Great video brother💪🏽
There’s liberals,.. then there’s leftists.
Great video. This is the message we really need right now. We need to think for ourselves, and we need to think about what makes sense and what does not. America is really stuck in these commercialized ideas of Liberal and Conservative. Again thank you for this. It refreshing to hear promotion of thought from someone that is not a political talking head. Love it!
We are and have been Propagandized for the past 100 yrs!! The DEEP STATE is about to meet their DEMISE!!!!
A second I was like “wait, a Liberal that lives in Texas?????!!!” But then I saw the definition you talked about and then I was like “oohh… I see.” No matter what you are politically you are an awesome guy, Alex!!! 😊
I do know some Liberals here in Texas...
theres a lot more than you think, Austin and Houston are filled with em
@@heartt4994 yeah, those cities normally are very Liberal. And I know there are some there, too. But most Liberals there are probably like Alex, I Think.
Texas has been inundated with Californians in recent years. The population is almost even split between conservatives and liberals, but the conservatives have gerrymandered the state to pieces to keep democrats out of power. Just look at the city of Austin. The city is split between six congressional districts…to break up the liberal population…with one district stretching all the way to San Antonio.
Plenty of liberals in Texas. Houston, Dallas and especially Austin are VERY liberal.
I've lived in Kansas City KS, rural Iowa and rural Missouri. The idea that major cities are more violent because neighboring states allow greater gun availability is false. Small to medium sized rural towns in the Midwest are some of the safest places I've lived and nearly everyone owns at least one gun. The problem is within city limits, not outside of it...
Great video Alex. The frustrating thing for us conservatives is how often we observe liberals who have never heard the main perspectives of the Right. To be considered a "thinker", one must listen to all sides before making any conclusion of one's stance. Then afterwards, one can use logic and hopefully a well explained reasoning of personal viewpoints. As an educator working with a high % of liberal educators, it blows my mind how little these educators know. I once had a conversation with a poly-sci instructor who had no clue on the difference of a Republican and a Conservative! Your video is a breathe of fresh air because your willingness to listen. That I will always respect. Fabulous job Alex.
Alex, as a conservative (former Liberal) I have to applaud your candor in responding to Dinesh with a clear head. I speak with my Liberal friends and we ALL have much more in common vs not- let's focus on the prize. Fantastic job!
Conservatives despite official definitions means to "preserve" classical Liberal values. Atleast, that is what some people who use the tag mean when they say they are conservatives.
In my experience Conservatives are almost like Classical Liberals except they are more fiscally responsible and also have a bit more focus on traditional values that stem from Judeo-Christian world views. In recent times I think people are realizing how valuable the Christian roots of the US are. Dennis Prager put it perfect, a flower can look great for awhile after detaching it from its roots but eventually it will wither away and crumble... our country is that flower when it has deviated from its Christian based roots.
The country is not founded on christian principles. this is explicitly stated. your religion dictates NOTHING in government.
@@VulcanP90 The bill of rights is the DIRECT result of the founders believing our rights are given by God and can't be taken away by the Government.
You can deny it all you want, but it's the truth.
@@MrSirFluffy I mean I live in reality. I know what the facts are. You don't. I mean, you believe in God, I'm already smarter than you. You should probably listen to me and not your delusions.
@@VulcanP90 Woah, I just got flashbacks from the four horsemen era of UA-cam. Back when atheist were incredibly annoying and were like Mormons 2.0.
Well, good luck with growing up. You will grow out of this arrogant phase... I hope.
@@VulcanP90 Dude, I don't believe in God either, but calling people stupid for believing in something isn't cool. I consider myself conservative, or maybe a classic liberal if the definition in this video is anything to go by, but I do find fault in the Republican partys stance on Judeo-Christian values. Being anti-gay and anti-abortion is not a step forward, and are a few of the things I hate about the party. But it's not cool to harp on someone for believing in something if it brings them happiness. Instead they need to be shown that disagreeing with something is ok and it can still be allowed without them being part of it.
I definitely am fiscally conservative and agree with conservative views on foreign policy and immigration, but when it comes to social issues like LGBT rights and abortion, I tend to agree with the liberal views on them. Religious people shouldn't use their own ideals to oppress others, but we also shouldn't put them down for their beliefs either. It's a double edged sword that borders on oppression of both sides if you choose one side over the other. I just don't think the government should be able to tell people what they can and can't do when it comes to their bodies or their lives. And honestly big government is meant to be a no no to conservatives so you'd think more would think like me.
Sorry for the wall of text. Rant over.
Nowadays “conspiracy theorist” doesn’t mean conspiracy theorist. It means “anyone who disagrees with what I believe”
Correction.... "Conspiracy Theorist" means "anyone who disagrees with the Left".
@@CelticSpiritsCoven right wingers are just as goofy when it comes to that type of thing.
I’ve realized that both sides have just as many hypocrites as the other.
@@CelticSpiritsCoven Exactly. Which is why when Ellen Degeneres sits with Bush, or a conservative speaker is booked in colleges, or Stacey Dash says she is conservative, the left goes turbo batshit mob-rule crazy. That is an incredibly rare event on the right. We are know it. We see it every day all around us just how unhinged radical leftists are with anybody who disagrees with them. Anyone who doesn't realize this, has no awareness about the society we presently live in. Of course, it didn't use to be like this. On the left, the mantra was "live and let live." Now it's "agree with us or else." The left is now astonishingly close to what they use to accuse the right of. The right has its issues. I don't personally agree with many of their philosophies, but you just don't see all of the insane individuals like those who have allowed themselves to be seduced by the radicalism that has hijacked the left. The left has always been cause-driven, but for so, so many of them, their way of expressing it is now consumed by rage and vitriol. The far reaches have damn near turned into a cult.
Our country is so Dumbedowned, most people aren't even listening.
Danish is a Instant Recall, Historian.
I believe we are lucky to have him.
VDH as well.
We should never hold our positions so strongly that we refuse to listen to facts that oppose our own understanding. Fantastic commentary at the end!!
Personal responsibility is exactly whats missing today. Triggered, own your emotional roller coaster. This video makes sense when facts, not feelings or emotions are used to explain and compare truths.
I live in Indiana and the "Neighboring States" argument doesn't hold water.
If it's that easy to get a gun in Indiana, shouldn't we have highest numbers of gun crime in the nation? Yet, we don't.
Yes, Indianapolis and a few of the larger Democrat majority cities have shootings, but no where near the numbers as Chicago.
Indiana follows the same federal regulations as every other state with guns.
Difference is, law abiding citizens in Chicago aren't allowed to protect themselves so the criminals aren't scared. Gang violence is rampant because they are the only ones with guns. Same reason mass shootings generally only happen in "gun free zones". No opposition to the criminal.
Well said, as always. Thanks for continuing to encourage open discussion and debate. Cheers!
Great stuff, and I second comments below to watch Thomas Sowell and also Milton Friedman are both really good to check out too.
Gandhi once said "Poverty is the worst form of violence". I would even add to say "Poverty creates violence". When people become desperate, they are more willing to do anything to get what they want, even to risk jail. When someone has more to lose, they won't take as many risks, because they have more to uphold and protect.
You need to check out Thomas Sowell. You will be blown away. He is one of our black intellectuals
Respect Alex! Listening to and accepting statements of truth! HUGE in today's cultural climate- props.
Objectivity. Such a list quality in the public space. Keep it up. The honesty is why we love you brother.
Watch 2000 mules.
Watch "2000 Mules" made by D'Souza.
I'm a MAGA conservative, and I respect the fact that you're willing to listen to opposing viewpoints. That's rare these days.
love these videos and your pen unbiased approach. You make me better and help me question my biases and emotional baggage to approach these topics with an open mind. Love it!
Be careful. The Democrats will see your open-mindedness as a threat they don’t want to become trendy among their young members. I love your attitude and energy. This was a good video.
Love these vids so much!! Bridging the gap of tribalism and open mindsets. Amazing work
I agree that we need to have rational conversations with each other, because that is how we learn and grow. Thanks for your content!
Love your energy, dude! And yes, classical liberal is the correct term to describe myself as well. You've got another subscriber! Thanks for the work you do!
Agreed100 Alex we need to move forward with real life solutions and not getting triggered at certain words n emotional then refusing to listen to others and communicate 😁
You looked him up on Wikipedia? 🤣 lots of propaganda in that. You are brave and curious to review this. Good job!
get out of your own ass.
Obviously there is some bias within Wikipedia, but generally its one of the best sources of information on the internet. Where do you get your information from?
@@TheAlibabatree It's very good for things that are not related to politics. Articles about physics, chemical substances, astronomy, technology and similar subjects are usually top-notch.
In political topics, there are often edit wars where different sides edit pages back and forth, to highlight or downplay good or bad aspects of politicians, pundits, or current events.
@@init100 A sensible comment in a sea of idiocy.
Real life solutions, compromise...good stuff man.
Chicago has some of the strongest gun control laws, yet those laws don't seem to help at all. A solution of "everyone needs to be like us in order for our system to work" isn't viable unless you view the world through a lens of totalitarianism. It feels like someone who takes multiple boosters yet still gets the 'rona goes off and blames their neighbor because they didn't get as many boosters.
Broken infrastructure, broken families, broken souls, broken futures, and the only thing keeping the community from total meltdown is a threat to break bodies (and an assurance that their lives totally matter every 2 or 4 years).
Perhaps the first step is having people face and acknowledge the situation they're in, with honesty, and getting it through to them that they do have some power over their situation.
Dave Rubin is a great watch. His first inview with Larry Elder is, according to his own words in his book, what changed his life (along with many other things).
Dave Rubin is paid by Koch funded group to do propaganda. He is not "great"
Dave Rubin 😂
whenever i encounter an individual that seems to be interested in finding facts and truth instead of the narrative their culture was built around these days... that interview with lerry elder is it... or just Thomas Sowell
Alex is getting close to taking the Red Pill!
Just gotta get him to come over. I always thought Alex was more of a libertarian
No in the beginning he demonstrated how brainwashed he is by only saying extreme right side, as if the left arent currently far more extreme and as if they literally arent the ones that fought FOR slavery
Wow very surprised with your reaction. Thank you for opening your mind
Dude....you nailed it. You have a way of layin out there. Thanks brother, god bless you and yours.
Even Obama in his autobiography said that his father always said the plantation had been moved to the inner city
His father from Kenya who didn’t raise him and who he last saw when he was ten? Nope. That line from the memoir (which was partially about his parents), is a quote from a barber and was used out of context in a Republican political ad to make it seem like Obama himself had said it (he technically did say it, but it from the audiobook, and again he was quoting a barber he was talking to).
Not to mention Obama continued the plantation problem
Then he decided to further the Plantation.........
You defined the term liberal, which is correct. I also believe we have achieved what classic liberalism is. Now that it is here, we must “conserve” it. Therefore, conservatism can be in the same mindset as classic liberalism.
Dave Rubin who hosts the UA-cam show "The Rubin Report" has made the same observation. He used to be a progressive and worked for The Young Turks, but since around 2016 he calls himself a classical liberal.
Dave Rubin has noted that defending classically liberal values is today a conservative position.
@@init100 I listen to Rubin everyday
This is spot on, and why many liberals are finding they’re conservative now a days
I'm a permit carrier in Indiana and work in Chicago, the neighboring states have nothing to do with their violence
they labeled him as conspiracy theorist? hahahahaha
I might be a republican but I don't really care about those "titles".
So D'Souza does a few things to keep in mind. He breaks down an experts arguments that take multiple books to explain into 5 simple points. It's not as simple as that, but lets look past that and accept those 5 perfectly encapsulates an experts entire view of the subject.
The title is based on something D'Souza has said in the past, that Democrats are racist. He says that the proof is that Democrats enable the principles of slavery as defined by the expert he quotes.
But if that's true it must also be true that any republican led district that also meets that criteria MEANS that republicans are racist. That's his original statement that he is defending here. So a rural place in Kentucky, ruled by republicans, that is poor, with substandard housing, that has been generationally poor, means that they are modern slaves? Then Republicans are racist to poor white people?
No, democrats don't accuse Republicans of this, and it's simply not true to begin with. The causes that lead to poor people and generational poverty are much more complicated than an inner city district, or a backwoods farming community. It's national, macro economics.
He actually has a documentary where there is a large section of it where he visits the historical African American museum (not entirely sure that's the name of it, forgive me I haven't seen it in years), and within that museum is the breakdown of the racist past and history of the democratic party.
@@joshuahjones4065 but you realize that in the 60's and 70's the southern strategy flipped the parties, right? Democrats used to be the conservatives and republicans were the party of progress. So comparing 1850's democrat party and saying they are equally racist as the party is today is nonsense.
@@scottrabie D'souza also has a video on the "flipped parties" theory. You should give it a look :-)
Amen to logical discussion! 🙌🏼
SOOO TRIGGERED!!!...
First, those 5 things are also symptoms of POVERTY. These inner city areas were redlined along racial lines up until the 60s, but the surrounding predominantly
White areas were in effect given a 40 year head start, and new businesses and economic opportunities go to those more affluent areas that weren’t held back by redlining.
Second, Dinesh is ignoring the fact that many rural areas also experience those same 5 things he mentioned. The hollers of Kentucky and backwoods of West Virgina are amongst the poorest areas in the country, and they are predominantly white and ran by Republicans.
Most of us in rural areas are not running around shooting each other. The majority of the crime happening in this country, statistically, is happening in democrat controlled districts. The democrat welfare state created all of that...replacing fathers with government. Almost seventy percent of blacks don't have a father, compared with twenty five percent of whites.
But I guess dummies like you will just keep coming up with excuses. It's all Whiteys fault. You sound like such a racist clown.
It’s not poverty. It’s the direct leadership, control, and laws/programs that leads to those five points and obviously poverty. It’s not accidental or unintended that these major cities resemble plantations. Interesting how you brought race into it. I wasn’t viewing it that way at all. It doesn’t matter what race you are, if you are in those cities, you are suffering just as much as the next man. Poverty doesn’t cause all these issues and problems, it’s a result of them. It’s laid out pretty clearly in the five points how, if you follow the progression, will ultimately lead to impoverished citizens. And that’s how they want it. The rural areas don’t have the exact same problems, just because they are poor doesn’t make them equatable. They aren’t poor for the same reasons. They live in an entirety different environment with different laws and regulations. Apples to oranges. Much love to you brother and stay safe.
Yes, but context. What he's saying can be applied to ANY American City or Town, not just 'Democrat' ran cities. The government caters to corporate America, the citizens get screwed, these talking heads try to make us fight each other instead of the status quo.
The problem with the neighboring states argument is that why isn't those states crime rate as high or even higher in those states.
I can’t believe they say that dinesh is a conspiracy therorist lol
Oh yeah bring on Dinesh D’Souza. Love him. Let's Go
I definitely agree with Dinesh but what I want to see is solutions and propositions!
I’m so happy you’re doing these videos bro. 🤘🏿
Love your outlook. You're willing to listen. I dig it.
You’re doing the right thing Alex. No matter how many hate DMs or comments you get, promoting free thinking and Classical Liberalism is the right move. The far extremes on both sides seem to have a whole lot to say, without actually ever saying anything. Keep doing what’s you're doing.
The Left (In terms of policy): Taking away The People’s right to self-defense, cancel anyone they disagree with, completely open borders to let anyone come in (gangs, drugs and other criminal cartel), abortion… even up until birth, bigger taxes, CRT to make anyone who was born causation feel guilty, more regulation to strangle the free market. And all of this doesn’t even include the cultural depravity (mainly to children).
The Right: “We just want our freedom.”
Yea… it’s a tie.
@@Jesus_is-Lord77 Correct, but you also have to understand that there is utility for both. They can't exist without each other. At the moment, we're in a culture war. The pendulum has swung, and we've found ourselves in a Left-wing society at current. There are a lot of policies designed to come from the Left that everyone agrees with. There is an authoritarian-right that is just as dangerous if left unchecked. The problem our society is currently facing is political activism done wrong. Ideology is becoming religion in this country. Much like Scientology in the 70s and 80s. And currently, the Ideology that has infected the far, progressive left is that of Marxism. It's a very dangerous and deadly ideology, and the greatest threat to our country.
Well done Alex. Good to see you branching out with the content.
I'm a Democrat and have been for 47 yrs but started questioning my party back when Ross Perot ran for President. He opened my eyes and I now vote for the person who best aligns with my morals and values - Democrat and Republican - it doesn't matter. TY for taking the time to continue to learn and thinking about things rationally.
You see should a video where Dave Rubin (a classical liberal) interviews Larry Elder (who's a libertarian). To see the revelation that transpires to Dave Rubin during and after the interview is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. It woke me up as well.
Alex should react to his documentaries "Death of a Nation" and "2000 Mules", they are really good.
The left doesn't like when a brown person legally immigrates to the USA and says without hesitation that it is the greatest country.
They made me laugh a lot lol
React to Steven crowder
just found your channel and I really resonate with what you say, keep doing what you are doing!
Thank you for defining a classic liberal
Yes, that is a correct term for what he's describing: CLASSICAL liberal. Much different than what we refer to as a liberal today. Podcaster Sargon of Asaad/Carl Benjamin is a classical liberal, and Dave Rubin used to be one.
And republican rural areas have improved? Absolutely not. Both parties have a complete disregard for the majority of American society.
In addition the people on slave plantation were not even classed as people and had no rights and were a commodity. Just saying.
"And republican rural areas have improved"
Yes, they have
The problems in inner cities stem from the fact that before the Civil rights movement we forced black people into one neighborhood in each city, we deprived those neighborhoods of proper funding and still continue to do so. That's the reason education funding is tied to surrounding property taxes. To keep people where they are. That's one of many aspects of CRT and understanding how some of these laws still affect POC. Whenever democrats are trying to offer reparations or public assistance to these communities, Republicans spin it as trying to keep them subjugated like we don't want them to succeed on their own. It's bullshit. After hundreds of years of slavery and decades more of segregation you can't just sign the civil rights bill and be like "ok we're all equal now if you're poor it's your fault". "Democrat controlled city" means nothing. Mayor's and governers can't change federal law. I live in a republican controlled city in Florida and it's the same shit here.
Criminals will get guns no matter the laws.....it's pretty much common sense.
I'm SO "in the middle"... especially the last 4 years. That's why 2 years ago I registered as " Non-partisan".
See now this is why I followed,/subbed you, I also am a classic liberal. What astounds me is how my "socialism has never been done right" child thinks I'm conservative, LOL.
Thankfully it was their own money they wasted on indoctrination college.
In 2022, you ARE a conservative.
I wonder why it's "never gone right"
@@danielleholt8027 my opinion is that the only "equality of outcome" in life is death, so they head straight for that, thus causing it to fail, because they're killing everybody.
Just an FYI, the argument that Chicago gun violence is up because of relaxed laws in neighboring states is a lie pushed by the anti-gun lobby. If that were the case, then why isn’t there rampant gun crime in Indiana, but there is in Chicago. Furthermore, when you legally purchase a firearm and fill out a NICS background check, you have to provide a photo ID and your current address. It’s illegal for a neighboring state to sell you a firearm that is illegal for you to own in your home state. It’s also illegal for them to sell accessories that are illegal in your home state. It’s just another lie that has been propagated by the anti-gun community to avoid responsibility and statistics.
second amendment and fourth amendment clashes in that statement. it's safe to say government is taking all of our rights away little by little.
Illegal, but it’s a real short trip for a gang member to drive (or hire somebody to go for him) into Gary from Chicago and come back with guns, and since when do gang members care about what’s legal? And Indiana does have gun crime, there’s just fewer people in Indiana (Chicago itself has about a third to 1/2 of the population of the entire state of Indiana). That said, the ATF tracks serial numbers (when I worked at Walmart I was in charge of matching serial numbers on the guns with the documentation and packaging when they first came in and the sporting good lead added them to the national database), so it would be pretty easy to prove one way or the other where they’re coming from. Go at it, If you like, I’m not that interested in it. I’m more worried about the guns bought in Texas that end up in Mexico and in the hands of the cartels. The cartels that the refugees are trying to seek asylum from..
@@kevintrjohnson Thanks for writing all that so I didn’t have to. The fantasy that guns don’t cross a state line ten miles away is ludicrous, or that there isn’t crime in Gary… 🙄🙄🙄
@@kevintrjohnson that was a lot of words to prove that gun laws don’t work. Somebody buying a gun for another person is an illegal straw man purchase. The majority of gun crimes in Chicago are drug and gang related. The strict gun laws do nothing to curtail gun violence, as you unwittingly proved my point. Criminals will still get guns. Gang members will still get guns. The only people the strict gun laws in Chicago affect are the law abiding citizens who have their rights stripped from them, while gang violence runs rampant.
@@BDogg2023 not on the same scale, it isn’t. And as I already rebutted his comment, all of the things he mentioned are illegal. It’s almost proves my exact point; gun laws don’t stop criminals, but only serve to make it harder for law abiding citizens to protect themselves.
WOW! 😮 I LOVE your attitude and perspective. I have lived and traveled in many parts of the country; I have friends all over the country and I have not been able to find any really open minded people to discuss these problems with and that’s been sad & frustrating. Obviously I have my own views and leanings but instead of being bullied, shamed or shouted at, I really want to have calm informative conversations about political, social and economic issues that plague our country and work together to improve things. It seems that even those at the highest level of government/influence can’t have productive discussion because they are unable to put their emotions aside and hear thoughts and ideas that aren’t perfectly aligned with their own.
Alex... Ty bro. Well done
I find it difficult to align completely with either party. There are some stereotypically republican ideas (as soon in 90s and 2000-2010) and also some stereotypical liberal idea from the same time period that I agree with. neither party really covers it all, but both are happy to tell you that you are less than human for voting with the other. It's just become a matter of which party can get out of its own way around election time. We need exposure to people that disagree with our assumptions, like you are doing, to either help us change our mind, or start to better understand our own arguments. Some JP videos have actually made me a bit more secure in my atheist tendencies.
Both parties can take things to crazy extremes. If you disagree with one thing? They will legit hate you. I'm pro choice but I'm all for guns and I'm an atheist. So the left and right would probably hate me. Some friends don't talk to me as much because I don't choose sides.
@@pauliewalnuts829 Ya. they will equate accepting 1 small section of a party as a whole sale acceptance of the nazi doctrine or communism. It's lazy thinking for tribal points. The craziest thing is both sides are asking that they not be categorized entirely by knowing 1 small thing about them like skin color for example.
@@pauliewalnuts829 I’m not pro-murdering babies, I am pro-gun, I am Christian/Conservative/Libertarian. And I do not hate you. 🙂
Agreed. Stay away from any and all parties. Aligning oneself with any philosophy of man sends us down a dangerous road where thinking for ourselves becomes contained within the limits of that man made party/philosophy.
@@pauliewalnuts829 I'm right wing and my views on the topics you brought up are as followed.
1. Okay with 1st trimester abortions, however it should not be a casual form of birth control. Also in extreme cases like forced pregnancy (avoiding the r word) and familial relations.
2. Pro gun, ultimately it's up to me to defend myself and the state will only investigate my murder but won't protect me most of the time.
3. I'm a Christian who was born Catholic but switched when I actually learned about religion. I don't think right wing people really care if you are Atheist or not anymore. It's just in the early 2000s and 2010s atheism was super annoying (four horsemen era). Idk if you used UA-cam during those days but atheist were like mormons 2.0, they could not shut up about agnosticism or atheism. That has severely died down now, so it's all good.
It’s pronounced D’-Sooze-uh!😂 Have only watched the first 30 secs so far but felt inclined lol
I agree that that is the definition of a liberal, unfortunately the loudest voices in the liberal community are nuts. I myself am a libertarian.
The (woke) nutters aren't actually liberals. They are very authoritarian, and they are collectivists, which is antithetical to the individual-focused mindset of classical liberals.
@@init100 agreed
Thanks Alex, we definitely need more young men to at least have an open mind like yourself. Keep on keeping on. 👍
Dinesh D'Souza is a very intelligent guy and he is definitely worth listening to.
@breeziestgeckop He's actually not intelligent. He's a moronic conspiracy theorist.
He's a dimwit.
Nope
@@VulcanP90 why?🤣
@@breeziestgeckop6160 he doesn't even know basic American history
Interesting, Dinesh is considered a provocateur and conspiracy theorist, while Micheal Moore is considered an activist.
They are both documentarian filmmakers. Problem is, Dinesh has more evidence in his work, Moore has nothing but conjecture and an ability to deceptively edit.
You’re kidding right? I’ve never seen someone who spins lies from reality more easily than Dinesh. I don’t even waste my time with his BS anymore. If he talking he’s lying in my experience, and anyone who believes his selective editing is sorely lacking in any actual facts, and eagerly consuming cognitive bias.
@@BDogg2023 Not surprised you would say so
Lpp
P
P, of course, you are backing the side where EVERY policy in the past 60 years has failed, divided people, embraced identity politics, and blamed it all on everyone else.
You back the politics of hypocrisy; false narratives, and opinion as evidence. Everything coming from the left has beanies. The media lied at every turn for the past six years, deliberately spread false information, and then admitted it, and laughed at you to your face for believing them.
Andy why? Because they know you will never admit you are so easily manipulated and will keep believing everything they tell you.
So sad really.
Your lack of credulity does not make it untrue. You ate like a flat earthen who does not admit the truth even when the evidence is against you.
Yes people do get emotional when those words are brought up, because they have been trained to.
Im a liberal apparently. Even though I mostly agree with conservative views, I support public servants that will spend our tax dollars wisely, no matter what indentifying letter comes in parenthases after their name.
Dnesh is a beast
I'd love for you to react to different political stuff than just right wing "provocateurs"... listen to Kimberly Jones' speech about inequality amidst the George Floyd protests or Jane Elliot talk about race and race relations. Just something a little different than Peterson or Shapiro
@Targg The wise I kinda want Alex to watch them for that exact reason
good! bring em on. UA-camrs often ask for the other side to provide left wing videos as a counterbalance, and I personally want my rival's argument steel manned so I know I'm not attacking a strawman or being misled.
I concur…if you truly want to be open to different points of view…listen to some progressive or left leaning voices too…Krystal Ball, Kyle Kulinski, David Pakman etc. Or even Sam Harris at least…
Let's have discussions not arguments. Is the best way to move forward.
he also did the voice for "you've got mail"
People in America are usually stupid when it comes to labels so already that one republican in here calling you a groomer doesn't realize that the rest of the world knows that liberals are pretty right leaning on a sane political scale. But thanks for finally stating your true stance. Personally I think political videos should've been what got their own channel but alas, politics are just entertainment in the US anyways.
Dinesh has some amazing videos out there. He is an immigrant from India with a unique perception on America. He loves America more than most Americans. I've always been a classic liberal as well...until the Democrat party abandoned me with far leftists ideology. Love listening to Dinesh, Candace, Sowell, Elder, Shapiro, Peterson, etc.
Sadly the classic liberal is now considered right wing extremist by the far left.
I would be curious to hear what you term "leftist ideology." In my experience, Americans know jack shit about politics and understand even less about their two parties. The people you mention are all absolute dickheads who've done a great job at brainwashing Americans.
I grew up a conservative. A fundamentalist Christian conservative. Dinesh is one of the most disingenuous spinsters I’ve ever seen. There are plenty of legit conservative arguments that can be made without resorting to the kind of BS that Dinesh, Candace, and even sometimes Shapiro puts out. If you’re not already in the tank for them, their hypocrisy is glaring.
@@BDogg2023 Can you disspell what they are saying? They do an amazing job destroying leftist destructive narratives and despicable policies.
@@kevinehle6637 Actually, they don’t. If you know the truth and the actual facts. I’ve never seen them make an argument without selectively cherry picking facts. Ever. It’s kind of a hallmark of conservative politics. I used it to my advantage as a young republican growing up, and have to admit to being embarrassed by it now…both for my participation in it in my youth, as well as for the people who continue the practice today. It relies on the ignorance and bias of the listener…telling you what you want to hear, counting on you not to dig deeper.
In my experience, people who put much faith in what these pundits have to say, these pundits who are selling a product…themselves…aren’t really very informed or intellectually rigorous people, and will generally fall for whatever the last thing is they heard. And I don’t waste my time arguing with them anymore. If you’re really as smart as you think you are, you don’t need people like this telling you how to think. The truth is never in the extremes.
Never clicked a video so quickly 😂
Just subscribed after seeing this. I am a classic liberal, who has voted Republican or Libertarian since the early 90s. The reason is because my former party has moved to the extreme left, extreme progressivism, social Marxism and no has room for a JFK type liberal, and redefined modern liberalism to be too extreme to represent average Americans.
