hey dev, wer building a gamer commune, wud u wana join? we have opne posisions for hunting Doritos™ from local SF walgreen and plus opeen posisions for to gathering MtnDew™ frome the a wel with a bucket on a rope. Interest?
based im in
Is English your second language? Jesus bro, I know kindergarteners who can spell better lol
You should probably attend to that stroke you're having my guy
While I vehemently oppose state/socialist communes, I think it would be cool af to join a free gamer commune that work together to provide games and junk food for each other. Almost like a regular capitalistic street gang but funner and more embarrassing
Put me in, coach. While others pursued vanity in the gym, I mastered the blade. I bought a katana at the knife store in the mall, and I've cut up at least 10 bottles of water (before my mom yelled at me to stop) and I think I could defend the borders of the commune.
That Muslim woman is upset at having to deal with Christmas while Christians in the Middle East are undergoing genocide.
I wonder how much sympathy she’d have for non-Muslims living in the Middle East who have to deal with the ubiquity of Islam. That woman is just a first-world Karen who is moaning about something that does her no harm whatsoever. People like her should be mocked at every opportunity.
Truly a first world problem. I wonder if she's a good enough Muslim to be able to go to an Islamic country and not be considered a heathen by Sharia
You are right about her. She's just another useful idiot of the western left. As more time passes and cultures intermix/live together, they adopt things from each other. Heck! In my birth country, Nigeria, we have a 50-50 religious variation of Christians and Muslims but for the longest time, Muslims have celebrated Christmas with us Christians and even on some of their holidays, we celebrate with them. Yes, we have the loud ones who call Christmas haram and oppose Muslims and Christians celebrating it together but they are just another loud but small minority in Nigeria. It's to be expected and for Christmas, it has the dual aspect of being both a religious holiday and a secular one.
Legit first world problems. Send her with all her family members to Chechnya where females suffer FGM and males get a call to arms from military office
True
See the thing is, if you take out the non-binary and skintone casting and just played it straight, a Hitler Youth falling in love with a Jewish girl could make for a hell of a love story. In fact, it kinda did, when they did it in THE SOUND OF MUSIC.
I was just thinking the same thing. I really think it could be an amazing character story where in the focus would be on "Romeo's" coming to terms with the fact that his new found crush is Jewish and how far is he willing to betray his loyalty to the party, and for Juliet to come to realize that her potential new lovers group is praying for her demise. It really could make for an interesting story, but I really think the writing would have to be near top tier and the actors on their A game to carry the seriousness of the story.
Sorry if it's too long but this was an idea I got very interested in very fast.
Kinda yes but the von Trapp family weren't Jewish I think
The father was just really against the uprising of the Nazi party and that's why the decide to flee.
But yes it could have be a good play if we removed the nonsensical stuff. Like how would a Hitler youth member be non binary 🤣
It's current year. They won't tell the story on the basis of good story (& here is a message). It'll be here is the MESSAGE, MESSAGE, MESSAGE..(should we put in a story)
Jojo's Bizarre rabbit? or something.....it's the movie where a kid sees Hitler as his friend and then he falls in love with a Jewish girl....a JEWliet if you will....and gets better
@@iwannaplayssbb6665 yes, and it was GOOD.
I wish more people realize a lot of modern "activism" is not to make things better but to grab power whenever possible
It's all about power. Everything. It's not a bad thing. Only when you're trying to go from incapable to capable, in whatever pursuits you go after. But to exploit, remain mediocre, or make things worse for yourself is not fun.
Read up on some of Robert Greene's books and Nietzsche.
Or to just simply flip the perceived power dynamic
Damn straight.
Most of, I would argue.
@@Strider1Wilco literally the opening of Robert Green 'the 48 lawas of power' is about that people pretending not to play the game of power are some of the best Players
Muslim mom can always move to a Muslim country if she has an issue living outside a theocracy.
Muslim mom would probably be a big fan of everyone observing if not outright celebrating Ramadan though. Shit ain't cool until you're the one in power
@@D00dman problem is the minorities objective is to eventually become the majority. So they by proxy are doing everything to undermine people hence the Muslim moms point of making out majority Christmas celebration innately is wrong. In so far as it’s related to the minority not associated with Christmas.
Yeah what a ridiculous thing for her to be upset by. If I decided to move to Afghanistan it'd be my duty to integrate with their society-maybe to introduce beneficial change from my old culture where accepted, but not to dismantle it.

Just imagine they cast a black guy as a Nazi.
Half the crowd would applaud them for being diverse. The other half would unironically applaud them because they agree with his politics since a black guy is saying it.

I love defining people as nothing other than "non-white"
It’s basically inverse Nazism
I couldn't feel any less called out than by referring to me as someone who is not from a group, to me there is no difference between being a called "a non-white" and "a non-basketball player". I feel more identified when someone call me "a coca-cola drinker" because that's something I'm.
Me too haha.

You're only a valid minority if you also carry the socialist water. Hence why we hardly ever hear from native American activists because those pesky native Americans tend to support capitalism. "Marginalized" has become another word for "socialist ally that we will use as human shields to protect socialist talking points".
I'm still struggling to find the moral and utilitarian value to acknowledge minorities as needing special attention beyond fringe insane situations.
It's just the majority opening themselves to be subverted by outsiders.
No, I don't give a single F about the woes of minorities, because those are used by abused by power-hungry sociopaths to subvert everything, and well, attain power by any means.

It kind of seems these leftists view white people the same way that nazi's viewed jews. Especially with this global majority thing, where now it's about the white minority being the bourgeoisie. This is similar to national socialism, but it's like racial or ethnic socialism.
you're not the first to make that connection.

Heck reading this gave me a mini ptsd cus I innocently brought this up in school one time and my teacher didn’t even let me finish. It was SUCH a huge deal…
I was so confused with the outrage cus I was genuinely just thinking about it, not trying to make a point to own anyone; I was young, knew absolutely nothing of anything and thought the school was the place to randomly start discussions to learn and I had just clicked a lot of things being said about the white elite, capitalism, normalization of aborting the weak, talking about maintaining purity of culture (cultural appropriation and stuff), talking about people based on race etc. just sounded a bit familiar..
To then be hit with control of speech in school of all places just like we had read it happened during the Nazi regime too 🥴

Fitting example for that Herbert quote: in my Leftist dominated home country some "journalists" working for public broadcasters recently nominated "freedom" as the meaningless expression or platitude of the year.

@@twiggledy5547 that doesn't speak for me
The paragraphs justifying the use of "Global Majority" are awfully antisemitic...
0y V€y shut it down
Obviously.
They pretty much have the exact same ideology as the Nazis did.
I have spent about 80% of my life in non-white cultures. The problem I have with American (and increasingly, Aussie / Canadian / UK) progressives is that they don't understand how to decontextualize and generalize the rules they live by. An amusing illustration -- an American came to work with us in Asia a few years ago, and she began encouraging the local workers to go support "Crazy Rich Asians" because it was "the first movie to have an all Asian cast." Locals stared in confusion, because every local movie they watched was of course entirely composed of Asian actors. The American couldn't decontextualize and generalize the "support minority representation" rule.
And in the same way, they can't understand that "The 1% in America is almost all white" doesn't translate to "the 1% of the world controls 44% of the wealth" because the 1% in non-white countries are almost all non-white.
And yes, democracy is oppression by majority rule. That's why the Bill of Rights is such an important part of the US Constitution, and countries which don't have these kinds of explicit, protected rights are in danger of falling into majority bullying.
Most western progressive types are extremely ignorant of the world around them and they operate on the belief that they're the smartest people in the room (you always hear them rabbiting on about how high their iq's are) and anyone who isn't like them is an ignorant yobbo who just needs to sit down shut up and do as they're told.
They can't comprehend the reality that actual smart people don't go around telling the world how smart they are because they're able to prove it through their deeds/actions just like they're completely incapable of realizing that they're the ones wallowing in ignorance.
Funny thing about revenge... it tends to be self sustaining.
Even when it switches hands.
Only when you leave the offended party alive.
Which explains why tribal cultures would murder and castrate the men, take the women as war spoils, and killed the children.
*ESPECIALLY* when it switches hands.
Sounds like a Metal Gear Solid quote.
Non binary Romeo and Juliet in nazi Germany sounds like a Babylon bee headline
"'Non-binary' Romeo and Juliet set in Nazi Germany apologises for omitting Jews from casting call."
_WTF did I just read?_
I'm sure I've heard Jordan Peterson make the same point you did, that the ultimate drive of intersectionality is recognizing the multiple oppressions that face an individual. Unfortunately, these people are too blind to see that their answer has already been uncovered.
They aren't blind or ignorant. They willfully choose to discard the evidence of their eyes and ears, because the ultimate goal of intersectionality for them is not to create equality, but to assert themselves as superior for offering to divide the power structures according to perceived injustice.
Present them with facts or even their own arguments that contradict themselves in that moment and they will simply allow cognitive dissonance to erase the contradictory information, and they will remain ever the zealots.
I'm willing to bet they would pretend that 'The Boy in the Striped Pajamas' never existed while stepping all over it just so they can push their BS as "the firstest evaar".
Movies and shows now judge their success by how much they piss off their fans.
What Sucks is if everyone is saying the movies and shows are well made, it will not have the best effect.
Indifference is the best way to counter, sadly there are people who will defend the badly made content.

This whole journal article reads exactly like a rant from a /pol/-poster talking about Juice.
Seriously, this is the exact same kind of rhetoric you'd expect to hear out of a Nazi, only with the races swapped. And the fact that they can just say this stuff with zero self-awareness is frightening
What's more frightening to consider is they may very well be aware
You just figured out that Israelis are genuinely worse then the yathzees wish they could be?
Tbh I hate these right wing cope responses in the style of "imagine what would happen if a right winger said it". Total lack of awareness of power politics. All of the history of ideology is characterized by an intolerant group dominating other groups, often more tolerant ones, or just weaker. Nobody cares that these 2 examples of extreme intolerance are analogous.
What's this? Extremist tards sounding the same on both sides of the aisle? Who could have possibly known?
Regarding the Muslim woman who has a problem with Christmas: she does realize that there were many Jews in Europe throughout the centuries who dealt with the same issue without complaining about it, right? I mean, I am not Jewish (I am an atheist, actually), but I am pretty sure it is the case. But Muslims, who by and large have a great antipathy for Jews, manage to complain about people celebrating a Commercialized Winter Event. Great.
That's because people in the past didn't tolerate outsiders moving in and making demands of them.
They were either forced to conform or they were driven out.
See unlike the jewish people who just skoff at the Christians for being Gentiles then calling it a day, those people would rather convert people under the gun.
Hey kinda reminds me of another ideology, no wonder the farleft and they get along.
Oh the Jews definitely complained about it alright
I’m pretty sure one side of my Jewish great grandparents actually put up stockings at one point, my family couldn’t care less about Christmas.
@@MALICEM12 IT’S A PAGAN HOLIDAY!!!!!
I remember there was a TV show called Gangland that highlights violent gangs across America and around the world. Just about every single time it highlighted a white supremacist group, it always ended with them saying they're expecting some kind of race war
Immediately thought it sounded like supremacists peeling off their masks.
Pretty much.
17:57 I don’t think it’s right to call this shift a mask off moment. They’ve always held these horrible ideas. It’s only the people who were trying to downplay their horrible ideas or be willfully ignorant to them what will be surprised.

Exactly. These ideas are fundamental to their movements.
But that's what "mask off" means. It's when the monster takes their pretty mask off and reveals their true nature or intentions.
*Global Majority* sure seems like a prelude to another round of *and it's a good thing* takes with respect to the 'Great Replacement' theory
If someone in this day and age in a western country thinks that Christmas is the holiday of Christ and not the holiday of Coca-Cola and Hallmark, they're obviously missing something.
My ultimate reaction to hearing "I feel oppressed because I am living in a culture that doesn't represent me" is "then leave". Why should I have to bend over backwards for people when there are places more than willing to accommodate? If you're living in a country that celebrates something, do as the Romans do and don't whinge about it, or leave. It is pretty telling that someone is so insecure about their religion they'd feel the necessity to hide Christmas from their children and themselves though. If I was in the middle east during Ramadan, then I'd do as the Romans do. Why is this so hard for Muslims in the reverse?
Why is it fine to discriminate and point out that Asians are "over represented" in academia, but when one points out the same of the jewish minority being a majority in academia, media, finance &c., it's suddenly problematic?
Makes no sense right? No one is safe from stereotypes so why do they get a pass? >_> This has nothing to do with hatred or history. It's like the ones wanting special protections always want to light up some beef between homies. It's just annoying this day and age, when the internet connects EVERYONE.
We’ve had ‘global majority’ as a concept here in the UK for as long as I can remember. The acronym keeps changing but it’s all an attempt to say non-white and legitimise anti-white discrimination.
Difference is we used to have elites that understood that it was British civilization against the world, taming and civilizing it, or else rendering it incapable of bringing ruin and rapine to our shores yet again.

PLEASE UA-cam OVERLORDS I WANT TO SEE THE OTHER THREE REPLIES TO THIS COMMENT I BEG YOU
I don't know why they bother, when on an individual level they have no problem saying "no white men"
Only a title was released, and already three big groans I find in it. Also, would it kill them to talk about wars other than WW2? Why not make one Hutu and the other Tutsi? Or would they have to admit that they’re exploiting historical events to keep afloat their sinking ship.
When progressives talk about the Hutu genocide they say that it was caused by guess who…
…white people. 🤦♂️
A legacy of colonialism. 🙄
Laziness is a big reason, from my POV
Yeah.
It's almost like Europe got a severe case of PTSD that made them obsessed with WW2.
To be fair, WW2 is the biggest thing that has ever effected people living today. (As a lowest common denominator)
It's their foundation myth... they can't abandon it.
The carnival music just keeps getting louder.
They are still going to say strength is morally wrong and that weaknesses is morally right somehow. Just that it only counts in the individual sense, not the collective size.
That's only if you're not them.
Otherwise, they deserve all the power in the world.
@@Lobsterwithinternet I meant being strong, smart, attractive, responsible, skilled, healthy, etc. they will definitely start taking rights and privileges granted from society.
And even with that, there will be special pleading everywhere.
Any time you use words like minority or majority you run into classic identity politics. You treat people like monoliths and that blinds you from seeing a situation as it actually is. If all Africans were the same we wouldn't see the amount of ethnic tension we do. If South Korea really had that much solidarity with North Korea you would not see American bases there. The point is, in order to really understand any political or economic situation, especially in other cultures, you cannot come with preconceived notions of oppressor, oppressed, minority, or majority. Otherwise you end up with the Whoopi Goldberg comments on the holocaust.
That woman really undid 30 years of a career in a single sentence in my eyes. Part of being a commentator is knowing what to leave on the table because it’s outside your ability to express.
3:11 That whole feeling of "being a stranger in a strange land" _does_ make sense, and it's one I'm quite familiar with to at least some degree: from always being the black sheep of the family on either side, to feeling like an outsider in the youth group when my family moved to a different church, all the way to my current position of being a conservative living in a college town that's literally in the middle of one of the bluest states in the Union...
Gee, it's almost as if this whole "being an outsider" thing _isn't_ exclusive to people with dark skin or vaginas!
Every word in the first thirty seconds of this video broke my mind.
Maybe because your mind is weak? 🤔
Might be a lazy, shortened version of your take: Saying "global majority" is all a power play. "We aren't the minority, therefore, we are right or morally justified in our views." That's all it looks and sounds like to me.
That and as justification to dictate to others.
IIRC, this is what John Stuart Mills referred to as the 'Tyranny of the Majority' when the majority, by simple fact of being the majority, view their positions as good, righteous, and correct. It's a scary situation to be in as I feel it gives folks a feeling of moral license to potentially commit terrible acts.
It's just an anti white power play
Thats the Democracy that they are looking for.
@@Cypher321
They dont even need to be the majority. They just need to "speak on behalf" of the majority, which gives them the power of the majority. Even if nobody really agrees with them or wants it. And many within the majority will just go along with it because they always believe what they are told from "authority" figures without question.
In Britian they stopped reporting the populatio of races in certain cities once white people became the minority.
Do you really think that stuff like affirmative action towards "minority groups" would stop once all the white people are kicked out of power?
No, the progressive only cares about one thing the accumulation of power for themselves, to opress people.
As for the "global majority" I think there is a simple solution the right can propose; a healthy dose of nationalism and isolationism. After all the idea of a global majority appears to be based around globalism, a horrendous ideology that demands smaller countries like Canada enslave themselves to China because they have a greater population.
By merely saying "not our problem" to the other parts of the world( to a reasonable extent; for example being concern about what happening in Ukraine and not being concern that the average citizen in the third world country doesn't own a flat screen TV), we can reject the global majority.
17:20 Dev, believe me, most of the people you are referring to who are itching for "revenge for colonialism" are not us Africans. It's mainly progressive woke westerners. The majority of us here are too busy trying to improve our lives and fix our governments and institutions. Plus, we know enough history to understand that colonialism had many negatives but also many positives like leading to many of our nation's existing, abolishing slavery, democracy, capitalism, liberalism, and modern technology.
I believe most folks know this. They are bandits literally using your name and identity as shield for them to loot thing in their home town.
Learn as much as you can just incase these parasites drag us down and we can no longer be the light.
@@DreadnoughtFiend well said, friend
Not living in africa, so correct me if i'm wrong.
But from what i got, that "revenge for colonialism" narrative is heavily pushed by many people in power in almost all african countries, which makes sense since the action of blaming other people for our problem is a time tested strategy for politics lol
“I moved from a majority Muslim country to a minority Muslim country and people in that country celebrate their own holidays. How could this have happened to me when I deliberately put myself in this situation?!?”
I think the difficulty a lot of people face is balancing pragmatism and idealism. People need to hold ideals, they need a strong conception of what the perfect good they strive for is, would be, and looks like but they need to be pragmatic actors who recognize ideals can never be fully actualized and must merely be pursued. A lot of people go horribly wrong when they either become pragmatic thinkers or idealistic actors. If you begin to think exclusively in pragmatic terms all your moral values become self referential with you as the source of good and any action you take as being self evidently good and then your cause turns into a cult of personality and explodes. The idealistic actors are often people who are extremely isolated and secured against the effects of their rhetoric being actualized and hold people to an inhumane standard, they happily sacrifice everyone around them to this impossible dream.
Good comment.
“Background Radiation type of oppression” love it.
But did they got actual nazies for their cast? I sure hope they didn't get non-nazies to play nazies, that would be very distasteful.
Kingdom of Heaven is one of the most quotable movies I've ever seen, and it has a great line which speaks to this, as Balian rallies his men to defend Jerusalem:
"None of us took this city from Muslims. No Muslim of the great army now coming against us was born when this city was lost. We fight over an offence we did not give, against those who were not alive to be offended."
There is no smaller minority than the individual. And any and all moral legitimacy comes from the and for the individual.
I've heard the term "global majority" quite a while back from Sargon's channel(s). It must be a British thing.
It's a Globalist thing.
The thing is, most people from Asian and African countries probably don’t actually have that much in common and wouldn’t all come together and sing kumbyah. The “western” way of basically saying everyone on a continent are all basically the same. I can tell you a Japanese person isn’t going to be happy that you called him/her Chinese. Or Korean. Just as much as someone from South Africa would probably be mad if you said they were from Nigeria, or probably even worse, if you said they were “African American”.
That's funny you should mention Ayn Rand. I recently finished Atlas Shrugged for the second time, and I think a feminist reading of it would actually be really interesting - it's got a strong female character as the lead (like, actually strong), and often mentions people looking down on her for being a woman in business. It also talks a lot about relationships and love. I think excluding it from a feminist reading is a shame.
Who is John Galt?
It's not about female empowerment It's about subversion and Marxism (feminism) thus rand has her minority status revoked and her works invalidated
Too bad the whole ‘wanting to be taken by a man’ thing would turn a lot of those femenists off.
@@SpencerYT138 I got a better question: Where is John Galt?
You act as if you are a feminist and sad that your peers don't like Ayn Rand work... Are you actually a feminist that doesn't talk down or hate men? Those are rare these days
Yes, because blacks, asians, and south american hispanics are basically the same.
I haven't heard "global majority" so much as "global north versus global south", where the north is defined as majority white countries and certain Asian countries.
Yeah, Australia isn't part of the global south, for example
These people are going to be in for a rude awakening when all the reasonable people decide its time to start fighting against them

are they interesting
May you live in intersting times.....
A world where monster girls become real would be interesting times.

This reminds me of my Anthropology textbooks which stated that the goal of the science was to eliminate ethnocentrism, even though to do so would be to totally eliminate culture in the name of total pluralism
Maybe they should do a Romeo and Juliet story where one's a Republican and the other a Democrat
If they’re not politicians (and thus probably lack any concrete values), that wouldn’t make any sense. There’s a fundamental difference in thinking between the average members of both parties that actually take that affiliation seriously.
@@John-fk2ky We could frame it as the families of politicians even if Romeo and Juliet aren't politicians themselves
I've been in countries where I was in the cultural/skin-tone/religious minority. Yeah some things were a little worrisome, but honestly it was not all that bad. Most people in those other countries were friendly, hard working, and, really, just wanted to get on with their lives.

Do I spott a white-supremacist handsign there?!
The plot thickens.
Change is an opportunity for those without power. It's a threat for those with power.

Me in Israel, watching in horror and astonishment the next thing Europeans come up with.
It's like watching a car crash.
It's gotten so bad the Israeli government is trying to rework it's "all Jews welcome" to exclude the mentally ill leftist Jews from immigratting
>implying
Europeans ? We have been playing second fiddle to the americans since post ww2

It's just weird to me. This Romeo and Juliet adaptation just sounds like a rip off of the novel Caging Skies that Jojo Rabbit was based upon.
Social justice was never about justice. It was always about revenge.

15:40 sounds very like those early Italian fascists doesn't it
(edit: it's straight up George Sorel actually )
This whole idea of catering to the minorities in whatever way to be inclusive is a very Western way of thinking. I can't think of anywhere else on the planet, other than countries like Qatar, where the minorities are so cared for.
China tries to put up that messaging (ranging from the Beiyang five color flag to the five stars on the PRC flag representing five races of China), but you can see how it actually plays out
“The director is jewish” im shocked.
Sounds like the plot of the directors, they trying to bomb a movie lmao
best rand quote.
That lady absolutely did not coin the term "global majority". I personally have chat logs going back to before 2015 from political debate rooms where I and others say it. Its been a thing for at least 20 years.
You probably also think Jennifer Lawrence wasn't the first female action hero. Or that Brie Larson wasn't the first female superhero.
Honestly, it's like you don't even know it's year zero!
Im really tired of the misuse of "Third World", etc. The term just means what side they were on in WW2/Cold War.
"First World" was Allies/Western.
"Second World" was the Axis turned into Commitern.
"Third World" was unallied/Neutral.
It had nothing to do with wealth of a nation, it was alliances during that period.
Why can't we all just go back to the days when everything was decided with Trial by Stone?

Pray to the lord for guidence. I expect there may be another exodus but I do wonder where is left to run to?
@@kriegjaeger That was the point Yuri made in his interview: 'There is nowhere to run, unless you want to live in Antarctica with penguins.'
For anyone interested, the comedy _Jojo Rabbit_ tangentially plays around with the concept of a Jewish Juliet and Hitler Youth Romeo
Europa, Europa almost did a gender flipped version of it, a Jew in the Hitler Youth dating a Hitler your girl. Loosely based on a real story.
There can be no atonement for a grievance never committed.
Woah they're making like a play out of a eurobeat song? When are we getting streets of fire
Already got one. Greaser movie from the 1980s. Has Willem Dafoe in it and is the partial inspiration for Final Fight and Bubblegum Crisis. The move itself is just kinda "okay" but it's interesting seeing how it inspired other works. ua-cam.com/video/lEOvn2IaLMM/v-deo.html

I love Frank Herbert; so much more than a science fiction author.
Your examples of "striking a balance" between top-down and bottom-up mechanisms of governance have the problem that their top-down parts are largely vestigial. They don't function in any capacity for governance. They're powerless.
14:25 yeah that's spooky. They are getting cocky and think they have everything wrapped around their finger. But the pendulum swings, and it's clearly hitting its leftward peak. So it might turn out OK in the end.
1) Bolsheviks were in fact minority in the social democratic movement ("Mensheviks" in Russia) , just as other communists e.g. in Czechoslovakia or Germany. They used the same trick as today´s neocommies labelling themselves as "liberals". 2) Fascists (neither in Italy nor in Spain or Portugal) were not racially oriented. They were different kinds of leftists than nazis in Germany.
I remember an old JBP lecture in which he said that something that really screwed with a lot of his students was that while they liked to think that they would have been one of the freedom fighters during the Nazi regime had they been alive then, if they actually looked at it and were honest with themselves, they'd realise that they'd probably have been one of the Nazis themselves.
We definitrly live in interesting times, sad to say.
I appreciate your videos. Very often do I find my ideas and perceptions align well with yours.
And it's nice, not just because my viewpoints are getting reaffirmed by another, but rather simply because other people are watching things and thinking about it the same way I am.
It's the horde of people that aren't paying attention or thinking things through, and just blindly following 'the pack', that concerns me.
I think you are correct. Man, this is kinda frightening.
Regardless of their path, they will lose. Either by being put down in their revolution, or tearing each other apart in the case they are victorius.
But hopefully they are halted before they can inflict their suffering. That would be the best outcome.
@@myriad9597 I sure hope they lose, since I lived in a communist country...
You've been doing great lately, keep it up
Virtue knows only virtue; It does not dwell in the masses, nor in authority.
I haven't heard of a Romeo & Juliet movie since Gnomeo & Juliet.
Inter-sectionalism will never win in the long term. What they oppose is inequality in any form. At a certain point any regime like this will inevitably target the most productive people in society thus eliminating your most valuable citizens and discouraging excellence.
We saw this in places like the Soviet Union and Cambodia. These societies either fall apart because nothing works as well as it could or an external force topples them. Usually when the help of the most competent people who are being persecuted
Yeah but it bares noting that some of those places took more 70 years to fall apart. I don’t wanna wait that long.
Good analysis Dev, especially the second half of the video.
I've for the longest time said that at one point the Progressives, the "for the minorities," will eventually be the majority. And then what?
Because, the progressives aren't "for the minorities" they are for the power being for the minorities gives the, They want to alter the status quo, and to get more power for themselves. To them everything is a power struggle after all.
At one point they will want to build up a sense of supremacy within the groups they claim to stand for, in so doing they can establish a justification for why they should be allowed to suppress the local majority. "We should pander to the global population, so we should have more representation" even when those groups aren't actually within the target demographics with whatever is being created.
It's all a power grab. Just look at how the Progressives view Asians. When it's expedient to gain power they include them in "The Global Majority," then they don't back up the narratives of systemic racism etc, they lose their status as minority in the USA.
I know Progressives aren't principled, nor do they care about integrity, but ultimately that's why those things matter. Ultimately "A society shall be liberal, and an individual should be conservative" is correct, because each individual needs to have integrity, and a society needs to not allow the expedient power grabs of individuals without integrity to take hold.
A friend of mine once said about the furthest right party in Norway: "I want them silenced, I don't want them to be allowed to say what they say, but I know that's risky because I also don't want them to have that power over me:" THAT right there is the liberal position. You might hate your ideological enemy, you might want them gone, but if you allow yourself that power, so too will they once they take it from you.
That's in many ways, what I'm seeing now. The Progressives have been vying for the power of the traditionalist conservatives of the past. They never wanted freedom, they wanted the power. And now, they seem to be moving closer to have it. Thank god they used the liberals language to get here, and more and more liberals are waking up to the madness.
What I hope though, is that the return pendulum swing will not go hard towards the Traditionalist ideas. We need a return to some of them, but we also need to leave this power hunger behind. Hopefully the pendulum will stop in the center, where Personal Conservatism, Societal Liberalism will become the norm.
Responding to the first paragraph. It likely is going to be a loop, the progressives will become the new Tyranny. As this is happening a new group will rise to fight it in due time. or its a boot stomping on Humanities face forever. Would have to read the rest of the post.
paragraph 2: Marking people as part of the minority if they agree with the progs is very evil thing said people are doing. Managing to get more groups join the list of non Minority, is building up numbers. It won't be an easy thing, I view it can happen with the best people for the task.
Progressives have been either corrupted by power, or have always been corrupt. Is there any grey in this or is it a black and white issue? Were the commies in the late 1910s to early 1930s principled in what they did? I can see it is a black and white issue more and more, or the grey area is they are way to emotional.
Power indeed does Corrupt, lets say the corruption can be akin to a symbolic Ring. That quote if its true, that is sad to see. Although true freedom is Liberaltarian is the final form of free ideas, which so far is not corruptable.
I agree there is a good amount of Liberals who do wans lots of power. Freedom is/was a lie they used. I wish more Liberals will wake up and give it up.
@@onionfarmer3044 For now, it is always good to make new ones. While REMAINING ETERNALLY VIGILANT, in case the ideas are reformed
@@onionfarmer3044 I disagree, Traditionalism is already rising among my fellow youth. Society is like a person and when a person goes through Trauma, their response more often than not is to jump to the opposite of what they were doing before. This era, this insane woke era, has and will continue to scar many people. When the pendulum begins to swing back it won't stop... Likely homosexuals and women will be scapegoated resulting in all the oppression the leftists feared so much...
I’m sorry, but your idea is, historically, just wishful thinking and, to be blunt, can never stay that way for long. Why, you might ask? The described society does not and quite simply cannot last in the format you envision. It is weak, unstable. In such situations, one of three things will happen.
1. The society will become conservative to maintain its stability and line up with the beliefs and practices of its population.
2. The ideas of liberal members of society will infect the society at large, and personal conservatism will be lost.
3. Society will end up split and cease to be a society at all.
You can’t have a dissonance between personal behavior and social/government function for long. You might be able to get decades out of it, but eventually either people stop maintaining personal conservative values or the government changes to match what everyone’s already agreeing to.
There are already supremacist groups that exist. They aren't being taken seriously enough because "white supremacy is much worse. " 😑 Look at how people reacted to what Terry Crews said about black supremacy.
A sane person would look at prosperous regions and ask what they are doing to create wealth that other regions are not: and the answer is basically they have more capitalism with more secure property rights.
It reminds me of part of how Thomas Sowell's A Conflict of Visions characterizes the constrained and unconstrained visions: the first views poverty as the natural state of humanity and looks for the causes of prosperity, and the second views poverty and inequality as unnatural and looks for what causes poverty.
