here's a topic , those who think the 2020 elections was legitimate and those who sincerely questing the results for a variety of reasons. I would actually go on the show since not only have I been working on VA elections and the various complications that we have discovered with lack of legislative transparency in the way we vote in VA. I've done extremely extensive research on this subject these last 3 years.
America is literally the hub of politician-loving people, so I'm not sure why you're all acting so surprised. No country cares more about the person rather than their policies like America.
I find her both annoying and valid. Overall, her positive qualities outweigh the negative for me. Biggest factor being that she is brutally honest. I appreciate honesty in people, even if they're annoying or dense at times.
@@spartanworrior4519Watch 26:13 how finally most of the people in the room are in agreement that the dual party system is flawed. This is the part where each side is picking apart the other side yet they can all agree that it’s the system that’s to blame for the division. They also talk about corruption.
I hate the term "Pick yourself up by the bootstraps" or w/e it is. Not everyone can be a CEO. THe world still needs cashiers and those people deserve to be able to live a comfortable and healthy life.
So you believe a cashier should be paid equal to that of someone with a trade or other jobs that require more effort? Jobs like fast food, cashiers etc are for young people/second jobs. You can’t be a cashier and expect to provide for a family.
@@Buddystemz Not what I said. I believe the cashier should be able to afford to pay rent, groceries, health insurance, medication, electricity and utilities, School, childcare, Gas, and other basic human necessities. Do you think people should be able to afford a place to live and food on their table after working 40 hours? The point I was making is, if EVERYONE is a CEO then who would be the cashiers? Why be a cashier when you can just be a CEO like everyone else? I'm not saying cashiers need to be able to afford to buy a mansion and a Rolls-Royce, but they should be able to afford to rent an apartment and geed their family and not have to decide whether they eat or medications. Why do you want people to suffer?
@@ImakittyLAWL depends on the job they do. No I don’t think a cashier would or should be able to do all those listed after workin 40 hours. Not all jobs are created equal and some jobs are for part timers or kids just gettin into the workforce and never meant to support a person or especially a family.
No, she equated being an emo kid to being more emotional and empathetic & caring about other peoples emotions, which relates more to the left’s values.
Well, that's what a majority of "liberals" sound like these days. Emotional queer cry babies. Normal liberals don't even stand up to those freaks that scream bigotry every 5 seconds just to have a conservation so yeah, the perception is very strong.
Well, liberal to conservative means that they either got super religious, or were indoctrinated/ given self hatred or some other form of hatred by someone in a minority group usually, and conservative to liberal is just people mentally maturing and making it so their views arent all for their own self interest/ gain.
@@BRIYUHH see this youre part of the problem by saying when someone switches from lib to con its because this and that someone got to them and yayaya and being like oh con to lib is because they matured they got smarter is the stupidest thing i have ever read basically bringing us backwards SMH
emily going from 'I've never cut off a person because of their political beliefs' to saying she knows to 'stay away' when someone has their pronouns in their bio is genuinely laughable
I get what you're saying but those aren't contradictory. To cut someone off, you'd have to had a relationship with them. Staying away from someone online doesn't require cutting them off coz you've probably not even talked to them.
@maggieeastburn Not really though. She was saying that if someone she already knew for a long time decided to put pronouns in their bio, she would stop talking to them, even though she doesn't agree.
@@slightlyaboveaverage2235 yes, speech isn't a political view. However, the underlying view in the speech can be political. And "political" is a pretty meaningless word so literally any view out there is a political view once the government gets involved.
Emily made me have to pause multiple times to collect myself and Javan literally went from radical liberalism to radical conservatism, I think he’s just very easily influenced and probably doesn’t think for himself much.
Javen reminded me exactly of my ex-roommate - even down to the way they hesitate as they talk. He too was easily influenced and how he portrayed himself publicly would regularly not align with his behavior in the home.
javen’s one extreme to another is actually a bit worrying to me. he seems very brainwashed & lacking his own identity and opinion, whereas the others all held a stronger grasp on their own opinions and identity, changing some, yet keeping others, and such. for example, strongly empathising with the lgbt community and being an ally turning to a strong hatred where you view the lgbt (or alphabet as he said) as perverted. it’s very concerning how much he seems to lack a genuine grasp of his own identities and opinions and seems to be so stuck into his current ideologies to the point he says he will never, and he emphasises that again, go back to any former opinions. i hope he can get a proper grasp on himself as an individual and form his own opinions and such.
Like the other replies here, I would think the natural assumption is that it is those who have only ever been on one side, and not taken the time to properly understand the other, would be the most hostile. These people know both sides so much that few of them have 100% alignment with their 'side' across all issues.
Javen is such a checklist tribalist. When he was a liberal he made sure to check all the extreme liberal boxes. Now he’s a republican and checks all the extreme conservative views. He need some milk
I’m glad somebody else said it. Like literally every time he spoke I grew increasingly more annoyed. I’m neither Democrat or Republican… real independent over here.
Javen was lowkey like extremely scary. You don’t just completely overhaul your worldview and belief system with absolutely no overlap without some other factors being in play whether it’s internal or external. Also saying he thinks his own family members are sexually perverse for simply existing is really sad.
It's sad when you see actual indoctrination. To fully reject absolutely everything you stood for so absolutely and without nuance seldom happens without a lot of outside influence.
Fr! Like I saw so many comments praising this for being a respectful debate but he was fr out here saying that queer people are perverse lol. It’s insaneeee. Idk why people refuse to see queer people as just… normal people. I have a lot of LGBT people in my bubble and everyone who isn’t LGBT is abundantly accepting and understanding. It’s always such a shock to see people like this actually still exist.
I think a tragic flaw that people have, regardless of their side, is that they assume that they have things completely figured out, whether it’s about our elections, the media, or gender politics, you never hear people show humility in how actually little they know about the nuances of each topic and will give oversimplified takes so confidently.
I agree. To me, the truth lives in the grey area & people so desperately want it to be black & white & it just isn’t. The internet has also really ramped this lack of nuance up bc people can just find huge echo chambers that give the illusion of things being absolute.
It could also be that there was some editing done or that they didn't have enough time for the topic, I'm sure there may be some reaction videos later on where they can go more on the topic but I agree it's hard to believe that some of these are just black and white.
Emily: Ill never cut off a person for their political views. Also Emily: If I see pronouns in your bio I almost know who you are and so who to stay away from. BRUH
There is a clear distinction between those two. "Cutting off" means she would never end a friendship just because of political disagreements. The pronoun thing is people she decides to stay away from and not interact with. Which is fine, her choices to make
there’s no goddamn way Emily was liberal. she joyfully spouted about every conservative cliche in the first 10 seconds her mouth opened. she probably just voted liberal because she got confused.
I bet her pro choice belief made her think she was a part of the liberal side despite her other beliefs. I feel like she hasn’t changed her beliefs, just changed what side she identifies with.
No I can believe that she was, because I have seen people who were once very conservative turn extreme liberal over time. It happens to a lot of people going in and out of both camps.
I don't think Emily is either democratic nor republican. I think she went on this strictly for views. She talks like a very stereotypical republican you'd mock tbh. She did it for the publicity. She uses buzz words rather than actual logical thoughts to explain herself. Yikes.
@@calmyourmind5665i seriously thought that was just camera angling but i noticed that she seemed to be in the middle a lot as well. She sat down for EVERY topic so far but im only halfway through.
I love the premise here because everyone arguing for one side intimately understands the other. Which is something I think is often lacking in American political discourse
@@dr1flush Being someone that went through the change in political ideas... you are wrong. While I am no conservative I am no longer a liberal in the current sense. I know what it means, I know what and WHY they think the way the do... and now I know why the conservatives do as well. I am just not in the bubble of either side anymore.
@@TierDvikit almost seems as though if everyone started getting real and used more independent thought, rather than herd behavior, then maybe we could eventually agree to disagree and just vote our preferences.
@@JrobAlmighty And as it was pointed out. There are plenty of people in power that dont WANT us thinking or voting that way. It makes sense... they lose power the more independent we the people become.
Thank you for having me on Jubilee. Although I am disappointed to see the majority of my moments cut out and put behind a paywall, I still am grateful for the opportunity. Thanks again for putting this together 😊
I really appreciated your takes in this exchange! Didn't know of you as a content creator before this, but am definitely subscribing to see more of your takes.
He's really had a number done on him he's literally like a conservative news anchor just repeating the same script and talking points and mentality no matter the nuance of the topic or flow of the discussion
the reason why this was so pleasant is because both sides have empathy for their previous positions. Also, there's always that voice inside that still agrees with your previous positions whether or not you no longer cognitively or intellectually agree with it.
As someone who has changed their beliefs drastically over the past decade, this is something that I have struggled with at times, as well as why I feel this might be one of the best episodes yet.
I didn't think about this. Yes, I feel they DID listen to each other & have more empathy etc. more than some people in some other episodes and maybe the reason you said is why, cos they DO have empathy for their previous positions.
@@luismartins1713 Yeah, what they should have said is that the don't believe in stating your pronouns. That they think which pronoun one should use should be self evident. Which usually it is.
Wait…I’m confused. We were all taught what pronouns were in school - the traditional pronouns (his, her, we, its, them, your, our etc). But now there’s a list of a bagillion pronouns and I thought it was all a recent phenomenon. Are you saying they werent recently created? Her point was pronouns are basically descriptive so she choose “pronouns” that describe her (she choose adjectives). If you are creating pronouns and they can be whatever you want, why can’t you even use adjectives? Rationalizing one and not accepting the other seems rather absurd.
@@dustierbottoms Not really. You can just use "they" for anyone. I've been at a liberal school for 4 years. Still haven't heard anyone use neopronouns. But if they did, I could either remember those pronouns, or use their name or use "they".
@@user-nv9vn8fm1d wait just because you haven’t witnessed anyone using neopronouns, are you saying those people don’t exist? Bc neopronouns exist, they must be preferred pronouns for some people. And I imagine you would be someone that will respect their wishes. So, respect the wishes of someone that wishes to be addressed as princess. I don’t see how your point is relevant. And “they” implies 2 or more people. A English rule that was broken and redefined to accommodate a select group.
"You can pick yourself up AND you can except welfare." Yes. Yes! It does not make someone bad or lazy or incapable or less than to be open to receiving support and resourcing!! Humans are designed to thrive through interdependence and love. There is too much oppressive inequality and unfair, unsustainable power dynamics and hardship in the world for it to be as simple as "pick yourself up by your bootstraps." It truly is not always that simple. There is so much more I could say on that, some of it from lived experience. It takes strength to be willing to ask for help. Help literally saves lives.❤
Working Poverty is the first sign that capitalism and min wage levels have failed the fact people have to work full time or have multiple jobs AND claim some welfare to bridge a gap in home financing and budgeting to pay for basics just shows it doesn't work and you can't just 'mentality' your way out of these external factors out of your control. People got sleep, eat, rest and have a life outside of the grind!
There should be no shame in taking the help offered and working to do better. The problem I see with welfare is once you're on it, you're very often stuck. It's a very carefully designed system to ensure you can't become self sufficient without having your legs kicked out from under you. Thus, you end up stuck, and people think it's your fault.
Moviegoer's twenty dollars down Loves to throw their film knowledge around the workplace Movie director is going down too Twenty million dollars, still nobody understands youuuuuuuuu
This was quite literally the political equivalent of that 😂, I highly doubt a single one of them has read and finished a single book on theory, whether it be Marxist or otherwise…
It’s because you have a room full of people who are comfortable with challenging their own beliefs. These are the friend groups you should surround yourself with if you want to grow.
She's an exact type of conservative woman where I live. The only thing I don't believe is that she was ever a liberal. Getting called a city slicker for a week by your dad because you refused to keep riding horses when he wouldn't get you a pony doesn't mean you were a liberal.
Javen's heart was beating out of his chest at 34:38. There's something uneasy about him. Like there is something deeper going on with him internally. His defense of literal authoritarian governments was also shocking to witness. Him calling the "alphabet community" "perverse" was also an extreme jump. I really hope that he finds inner peace and surpasses whatever struggle he's going through.
you honestly can make a case that Authoritarian style proves superior, as exemplified by Singapore, Saudi Arabia, and China, especially when comparing GDP advancement within the last 20 -30 year timeframe compared to their regional surrounding democratic counterparts..... Realize that if you take yourself out of a USA bubble, there are plenty of 15-party and 2-party democratic systems in the world that don't have better outcomes compared to Javen's referenced countries, especially in the recent timeframe. So, his point a 2-party system is not necessarily a horrible thing... especially if your asking for more parties. but theirs something internally wrong with him?
Just the fact that they were thoughtful and flexible enough to change their views in the first place explains how they managed to have such an effective discussion. They've all had the same experience of unsubscribing from an ideology and building their own view from scratch. I think we'd all be better at solving world problems together with this sort of drive for independent thinking. Thanks Jubilee for your Middle Ground series👍
Yes!! I feel this way too! I see and can understand where people on both sides are coming from. I also fall somewhere in the middle politically… as many of these people seem to.
depends.. 99.9999% of them yes.. but the likes of vivek ramaswamy is different. Outsiders that come in that aren't supported by the system and are actively shut down by the system should be propped up by the american people.
@@sonnecarver Why should they be propped up? Vivek openly supports Russia and believes that Ukraine should bend to Russia's demands. Not to mention, he's a multimillionaire, so I wouldn't consider him an "outsider" in the Republican party
Javen reminds me of a guy I used to work with. Grew up very religious (Christian) and was always espousing those beliefs until he met an Imam and fully converted to Islam. Then later he started hanging with a more liberal group and abandoned religion and became pro-LGBT etc. He was just so easily influenced, his entire life philosophy became based on whatever direction someone else steered him in.
People change, bro 😎 Don’t hate on another person’s evolution because of the degree or volume of change, unless you truly understand their reasons Let’s be more compassionate as a society
@@stephniekYes. It is an emotional and ideological form of transphobia. He considers trans people to be living in perversion and no matter what love he may still hold for his trans family member, his perspective will cause them emotional harm
I’d love to also see another liberal vs conservative but this time with a couple people from each generation (gen Z, millennials, gen x, and baby boomers). I think a lot of interesting points could be brought up with a diverse age group who have lived through many different experiences!
Emily did contradict herself, when she said she would never cut someone off for their personal political beliefs, then proceeds to also say she would stay away from people who didn’t have the same political beliefs.
In theory, my beliefs and takes on politics agree with her, but she as a person strikes me as insufferable, attention seeking and annoying… which leads me to think that it is perfectly okay to disagree with someone on your political sphere, if they lack common sense it's game over.
She was contradicting herself on almost anything. She sits down and says one thing, then another person sits down and says something opposite of that and she says "oh yeah totalaayyy" 🙄 She's just a grifter. She acts like an AI chatbot - she will agree with anything as long as the interaction continues.
Bro how did the blond girl say she would never cut someone off for their political beliefs but then say if you have pronouns in your bio that means she can assume where your beliefs lie in a lot of areas and she stays away… like the hypocrisy is pretty unreal

Yep. Thankfully these days the original meaning of that phrase is coming back to cultural understanding. It's literally an impossible task and worded that way. Kind of makes me want to see where that meaning flip flopped, who brought it about, and if it was intentional.
I agree, some people are born without any hypothetical “boot straps” to lift themselves up with (or would hands be better to say?). It’s our duty as a society to help people who need it, as it also helps us as a collective.

I think her podcast now is Kerfefe Break. I’ve followed her for 4 years back when she used to part of Unsafe Space. Heads up, you will find burned bridges and skeletons with other people in her past if you look. But yes, overall, she’s a net positive in the online political sphere.
Thank you for hosting these videos. Conversations between people with different opinions are so uncommon these days and these videos are a great way to hear from someone with a different perspective.
@@jesusbarrera6916 Blonde, weirdly sarcastic tone, annoying high pitched voice, obsessive over something they have no idea about (in this case politics). I could go on but I don't want to list every single thing about her lol.
i think its because in this case, the debate isnt happening based on stuff thats identity-based. its natural that once you focus on stuff that people feel instead of how people feel they are, they're not gonna be as intense.
You should watch the unedited version, Hunter, Avalon posted it, and the reason the debate looks civil is because they cut out like 90% of it. Truly some incredible moments that I have no idea why they cut out in the uncut version.
Thank you! t kinda feels unfair that there showing these (important) conversations claiming to be neutral whilst cutting things out to make the two sides seem ‘balanced’
Wow, GREAT episode. This is what Middle Ground is all about! As the episode went on, pretty much all of them became more and more respectful, expressed their own opinions while simultaneously working to connect with the other side. Well done!👍
Honestly, this was THE BEST episode yet. Everyone was able to articulate their points and everyone seemed receptive to the other persons points. This was genuinely great to see and give me more hope in the future!!
Lol yeah it sounds like he's never actually thought about it. He just read or watched stuff and ran with it. Now that he's having to say it out loud by himself he's realising it's all inconsistent and doesn't make sense.
i know the ex liberals were saying that conservatives are rarely even offended but tbh I think they are just passive aggressive. and how he seems so CONFUSED 😭 it's like he doesn't know what he believes anymore. it's crazy seeing grown adults silently argue with each other. I would probably cry after being in one of these Jubilee's
I think Javen is the side of conservatives that I don't agree with. He doesn't seem to want to see that he or his "side" could be wrong and continues to justify his own viewpoint. I think he did this more than the other panelists.
The least hostile because they cut everything out. Watch the video behind the paywall. It is literally night and day. This video actually made me so mad because it is a lie.
Oh see I disagree lol. I felt they were all holding back their true thoand feelings at the expense of "getting along". It was way too safe and contrived for me.
Love how this was so much less hostile and less influencer oriented than other recent videos. Nice to see people actually finding middle ground instead of treating this as a hostile debate
Literally what I was thinking, both sides have their own stories and valid reasons and manage to still agree with each other on some things. Its refreshing to just see two groups of people from different beliefs have a calm mature conversation
Except when the prompt of “Changing political sides was traumatic for me” came on - *every* former liberal stepped forward, whilst only 1 former conservative stepped forward (and she was the one raised in a weirdly religious family). IMO, if both sides were equally tribalistic and cultish - then an even amount of people from *both* sides would have stepped forward on that prompt.
@@amberjulia123 Sampling bias. There's no way a group of 10 people can represent Americans equally. Even if what you're saying is true, it doesn't change the fact that the two party system is very polarizing. I'm sure hundreds of thousands or millions of both former Republicans and Democrats have had traumatic experiences switching sides. But saying one is side is worse at something than the other is very polarizing to both sides.
@@amberjulia123conformation bias. You can't see the full picture when the video only presents the expeirences of 8 people out of tens of thousands. Also note that many of the people i Jubilee's videos are influencers and aren't picked randomly
'It was very very very traumatic to become conservative' says Javen after his whole 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps and don't complain' speech? Wow.
Found that comment hilarious considering it is literaly impossible to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Like the physics doesn't work, and it says so much about that particular saying
Its a phrase/metaphor. “A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn't literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison.” Classic liberal making decisions based off of an emotional base rather than a logical one.😂
@@saramysko1022 And you are the definition of the Dunning-Kruger effect. None of us here needed you to copy and paste the definition of a metaphor, sweetie. Zelda is correct. A metaphor only works if the premises are 1:1. The bootstrap metaphor is using a physical scenario in order to illustrate an abstract concept. However, the scenario isn't possible according to the laws of physics and therefore, the metaphor doesn't make any sense because you cannot equate it to the situation abstractly. If, physically, it were possible to pick yourself up by your bootstraps, the metaphor would hold water. I know you're a little lacking in brain cells, so please just do a little more reading on parts of speech. Abstract thinking is clearly not your strength.
As a moderate conservative, Keri is the only conservative panel guest that I respect intellectually. No offense but the other three don't seem very intelligent.
@Magst3r1 LITERALLY in every single debate, the comments are like "wow this is the most respectful debate I've ever seen". like they'd probably say that if two people started beating each other up in the middle of the panel 💀
I know it can be entertaining to watch people bicker and be at each others throats but I’m honestly pleasantly surprised that they were able to have such a professional and respectful conversation about politics. Hopefully some people who watched this realized that we can have respectful conversations like this and that we have more in common then we think.
You see more of this when both sides hold their bad players to account for their actions rather than making excuses for them. Either side if someone is so indoctrinated they can't handle an opposing opinion then it's them as an individual who have a problem they need to deal with and while their side back them up for simply "voting the same way" it leads to zero productive discussion and nothing gets done as a result. Both sides need to learn to compromise as both sides get a lot of things wrong.
There is always that one participant that talks wherever a second of silence lingers. And today it's Emily. She talked for about 80% of the air time, while adding the least to the conversations. So weird.
Shes delusional - I could tell within 2 questions that she was going to have some CRAZY talking points. Nothing she said added to the conversation, and for someone who thinks liberals are "too emotional", she certainly spoke about how she "feels" a lot - she doesn't have any factual basis for her beliefs. Heck she doesn't even know WHAT a pronoun is, she just knows she doesn't like them. Conservatives are all toddlers throwing their toys out of the pram because they think they're being told what to do - they don't want to educate themselves, they just want to get their own way. Its so embarrassing.
Actually Emily is in the best position of all these guests. She has a middle ground mindset. I understand why you're saying that tho. But the few things she added were powerful. I'm sure most people would agree with you tho
As someone who has watched Hunter on youtube for years and had my beliefs switch around the same time that his did it was very nice to see him in this group and see how he has grown as a person.
It really took me until 14:23 To realize that was Hunter Avallon. He's a really interesting character because when I was very Republican. He was one of the people I would watch but slowly I stopped watching those people and develop my views. And when I came back to see those perspectives again I saw he had also changed. mad respect
Honestly, same. It's refreshing to see that at least some social media personalities are capable of genuine reflection and growth, even at the risk of their established audiences and connections.
Why hasn't @jubilee added video chapter headings for this evening episode? It really would help viewers to skip to specific prompt questions. I'd say this is a basic feature that seasoned UA-cam Channel creators such as @jubilee should be incorporating consistently across all its content.
This was honestly one of the best, most productive middle ground episodes (on the liberal vs conservative topic) yet. Their understanding of each others' beliefs and past experiences opened up room for a much more nuanced and respectful conversation. I like how they rarely got too caught up in those trigger-points and buzz-word topics that only really end up going in circles, and focused more on the deeper layers that inform the different ideologies. So many great points from both sides!
It really did! And I think everyone listened to each other really well. And as you say, yes I think cos they could relate cos they had thought similar ways in the past to the other side.
while i definitely agree with most viewers that this discussion was far more civil, balanced and overall positively influential on the people involved, i was very concerned with some of Javen’s opinions. i hate to be singling anyone out, and i respect people’s opinions regardless of my disagreement with them or the lack of respect/humanity i see in them, but i feel like some of Javen’s remarks, especially about abortion and the “alphabet” community are simply nonsensical and potential pointers to a very unhealthy mindset.
@@janakugel3456 It literally sounds like he had a traumatic situation possibly with his trans friend and now thinks all LGBT people are evil child molesters. His dehumanization of lgbt people was very clear and he looks very sad saying it like he has no choice but to hate them because of what they represent. All or nothing extremism is unhealthy.
i agree i also think he probably got sucked into the anti woke libs of tik tok spew and just regurgitates what he heard there, he really didn't seem capable of critical thinking@@JamieBleu
It's even worse because he's gay and in the closet. I matched with him once on Grindr in the Bay Area and he was adamant that none of his family/friends find out his sexuality
I actually liked Emily’s take on politics; she is definitely Conservative but she agreed with a lot of liberal beliefs except when it came to pronouns.
So cool to see Hunter Avallone here. I’ve loved seeing his political glow up. Usually these feel so lopsided with Daily Wire media-trained people on the R side, random college students on the L side.
Lmfao glow up..dude went for having common sense to pretending men can get pregnant and being a huge loser pandering to the most unhinged takes on the internet.

I also love how the term itself is supposed to indicate something physically impossible. You CANNOT “pull yourself up by the bootstraps” thats the entire point of the phrase.
It's always "pick yourself up by the bootstraps" while ignoring that a majority of human life we have had a community to depend on. When was the last time you asked your neighbor for sugar? Also, the bootstraps quote was originally used to refer to a task that is impossible. Etymology is fun

Everybody seemed to have a certain humility about the other side and it led to some very honest conversation rather than conflict. I'm going to watch it again.
That one chick confidently getting angry about pronouns and not having the first clue what they are, honestly I’m not surprised she ended up conservative with those solid reasoning skills.
@@danieldenton5721do people who change their names also live in a lie? To me changing your pronouns just seems like a way of expressing yourself how you see fit.
@@zachary9385 Gender pronouns are not personal identifiers, they are third party language to define a subject of conversation. It seems far more offensive to me to believe the common usage of gender pronouns are to reveal an aspect our own's unique and complex identity. If you think he/she/they are used to reveal one's gender identity, I must reject them all as I oppose the manifestation of an identity through a concept of "gender", however such is to be defined.
Javen needs to be put on some sort of watch I’m not even kidding. His internalizing of everything he hates about himself is the reason why he brought nothing to the conversation. All he did is flip, I’m positive he stands for nothing, he just rejects what he used to know and hurts his own family by doing so, masking his own very evident remorse. It’s sad and pretty terrifying and I hope he comes to more of an understanding for his own sake
I disagree that he brought nothing to the conversation. He clearly had very open and real beliefs. He went from one extreme to the other, and any remorse would be from not switching up his beliefs earlier than he had.
@@BoedenCronkitethe only things he was saying were rehearsed conservative talking points with zero nuance. He sounds like the reactionaries he obviously watches and copies his ideologies off of.

I hate the term "Pick yourself up by the bootstraps" or w/e it is. Not everyone can be a CEO. THe world still needs cashiers and those people deserve to be able to live a comfortable and healthy life.
So you believe a cashier should be paid equal to that of someone with a trade or other jobs that require more effort? Jobs like fast food, cashiers etc are for young people/second jobs. You can’t be a cashier and expect to provide for a family.
@@Buddystemz Not what I said. I believe the cashier should be able to afford to pay rent, groceries, health insurance, medication, electricity and utilities, School, childcare, Gas, and other basic human necessities. Do you think people should be able to afford a place to live and food on their table after working 40 hours?
The point I was making is, if EVERYONE is a CEO then who would be the cashiers? Why be a cashier when you can just be a CEO like everyone else? I'm not saying cashiers need to be able to afford to buy a mansion and a Rolls-Royce, but they should be able to afford to rent an apartment and geed their family and not have to decide whether they eat or medications.

No, she equated being an emo kid to being more emotional and empathetic & caring about other peoples emotions, which relates more to the left’s values.
She didnt equate being emo to being liberal. She equated emo and empathetic
Well, that's what a majority of "liberals" sound like these days. Emotional queer cry babies. Normal liberals don't even stand up to those freaks that scream bigotry every 5 seconds just to have a conservation so yeah, the perception is very strong.

I get what you're saying but those aren't contradictory. To cut someone off, you'd have to had a relationship with them. Staying away from someone online doesn't require cutting them off coz you've probably not even talked to them.

@maggieeastburn having to tell people your pronouns when their opposite agreed upon usage isn't a political view.
@@slightlyaboveaverage2235 yes, speech isn't a political view. However, the underlying view in the speech can be political. And "political" is a pretty meaningless word so literally any view out there is a political view once the government gets involved.

How to think for yourself?
Sounds like you have a problem hearing other people’s opinions.
Javen reminded me exactly of my ex-roommate - even down to the way they hesitate as they talk. He too was easily influenced and how he portrayed himself publicly would regularly not align with his behavior in the home.
javen’s one extreme to another is actually a bit worrying to me. he seems very brainwashed & lacking his own identity and opinion, whereas the others all held a stronger grasp on their own opinions and identity, changing some, yet keeping others, and such.
for example, strongly empathising with the lgbt community and being an ally turning to a strong hatred where you view the lgbt (or alphabet as he said) as perverted.
it’s very concerning how much he seems to lack a genuine grasp of his own identities and opinions and seems to be so stuck into his current ideologies to the point he says he will never, and he emphasises that again, go back to any former opinions. i hope he can get a proper grasp on himself as an individual and form his own opinions and such.

Like the other replies here, I would think the natural assumption is that it is those who have only ever been on one side, and not taken the time to properly understand the other, would be the most hostile. These people know both sides so much that few of them have 100% alignment with their 'side' across all issues.
It's an issue though. How are multiple people perpetrating the lie about the election being "rigged" with barely any pushback? That's dangerous.

Xir has a point, thanks for expressing treeself
we've strayed away from literal elementary level english class 💀
I suspect you and everyone who liked this post had to research the proper grammatical terms to describe her neopronouns.
I think a tragic flaw that people have, regardless of their side, is that they assume that they have things completely figured out, whether it’s about our elections, the media, or gender politics, you never hear people show humility in how actually little they know about the nuances of each topic and will give oversimplified takes so confidently.
I agree. To me, the truth lives in the grey area & people so desperately want it to be black & white & it just isn’t. The internet has also really ramped this lack of nuance up bc people can just find huge echo chambers that give the illusion of things being absolute.
🫰👏👏👏👏
It could also be that there was some editing done or that they didn't have enough time for the topic, I'm sure there may be some reaction videos later on where they can go more on the topic but I agree it's hard to believe that some of these are just black and white.
But that's their truth. It's just what they feel 🤷
@overlordfemto7523Thank you. I rolled my eyes so much that I thought I'd be going blind.
Emily: Ill never cut off a person for their political views. Also Emily: If I see pronouns in your bio I almost know who you are and so who to stay away from. BRUH
There is a clear distinction between those two. "Cutting off" means she would never end a friendship just because of political disagreements. The pronoun thing is people she decides to stay away from and not interact with. Which is fine, her choices to make

@@denziboi4063 yeah like what? it’s almost like there might be more to it, but better not think about it!!
the reason why this was so pleasant is because both sides have empathy for their previous positions. Also, there's always that voice inside that still agrees with your previous positions whether or not you no longer cognitively or intellectually agree with it.
As someone who has changed their beliefs drastically over the past decade, this is something that I have struggled with at times, as well as why I feel this might be one of the best episodes yet.
Not true, conservatives are psychologically incapable of feeling empathy
Yea except for Javen ofc
I didn't think about this. Yes, I feel they DID listen to each other & have more empathy etc. more than some people in some other episodes and maybe the reason you said is why, cos they DO have empathy for their previous positions.
It's sad people didn't learn what a pronoun was in elementary school. Just because people want to be antagonistic, they forgot what it actually means.
That is so true. I’m not really pro neopronouns, if you can call that, but pronouns are still pronouns and we all use them!
@@luismartins1713 Yeah, what they should have said is that the don't believe in stating your pronouns. That they think which pronoun one should use should be self evident. Which usually it is.
Wait…I’m confused. We were all taught what pronouns were in school - the traditional pronouns (his, her, we, its, them, your, our etc). But now there’s a list of a bagillion pronouns and I thought it was all a recent phenomenon. Are you saying they werent recently created? Her point was pronouns are basically descriptive so she choose “pronouns” that describe her (she choose adjectives). If you are creating pronouns and they can be whatever you want, why can’t you even use adjectives? Rationalizing one and not accepting the other seems rather absurd.
@@dustierbottoms Not really. You can just use "they" for anyone. I've been at a liberal school for 4 years. Still haven't heard anyone use neopronouns. But if they did, I could either remember those pronouns, or use their name or use "they".
@@user-nv9vn8fm1d wait just because you haven’t witnessed anyone using neopronouns, are you saying those people don’t exist? Bc neopronouns exist, they must be preferred pronouns for some people. And I imagine you would be someone that will respect their wishes. So, respect the wishes of someone that wishes to be addressed as princess. I don’t see how your point is relevant. And “they” implies 2 or more people. A English rule that was broken and redefined to accommodate a select group.

"You can pick yourself up AND you can except welfare." Yes. Yes! It does not make someone bad or lazy or incapable or less than to be open to receiving support and resourcing!! Humans are designed to thrive through interdependence and love. There is too much oppressive inequality and unfair, unsustainable power dynamics and hardship in the world for it to be as simple as "pick yourself up by your bootstraps." It truly is not always that simple. There is so much more I could say on that, some of it from lived experience. It takes strength to be willing to ask for help. Help literally saves lives.❤
Working Poverty is the first sign that capitalism and min wage levels have failed the fact people have to work full time or have multiple jobs AND claim some welfare to bridge a gap in home financing and budgeting to pay for basics just shows it doesn't work and you can't just 'mentality' your way out of these external factors out of your control. People got sleep, eat, rest and have a life outside of the grind!
There should be no shame in taking the help offered and working to do better. The problem I see with welfare is once you're on it, you're very often stuck. It's a very carefully designed system to ensure you can't become self sufficient without having your legs kicked out from under you.
Thus, you end up stuck, and people think it's your fault.

Javen's heart was beating out of his chest at 34:38. There's something uneasy about him. Like there is something deeper going on with him internally. His defense of literal authoritarian governments was also shocking to witness. Him calling the "alphabet community" "perverse" was also an extreme jump. I really hope that he finds inner peace and surpasses whatever struggle he's going through.
His heart calmed down a bit when he moved away from talking about the "alphabet community"
@user-ut7pc7xg8w I noticed this as well
you honestly can make a case that Authoritarian style proves superior, as exemplified by Singapore, Saudi Arabia, and China, especially when comparing GDP advancement within the last 20 -30 year timeframe compared to their regional surrounding democratic counterparts.....

Emily did contradict herself, when she said she would never cut someone off for their personal political beliefs, then proceeds to also say she would stay away from people who didn’t have the same political beliefs.
I’m pretty sure she just means that she’s not gonna cut any of her friends out but when it comes to new people it’s a little different
In theory, my beliefs and takes on politics agree with her, but she as a person strikes me as insufferable, attention seeking and annoying… which leads me to think that it is perfectly okay to disagree with someone on your political sphere, if they lack common sense it's game over.
Bingo. I caught that too.
She was contradicting herself on almost anything. She sits down and says one thing, then another person sits down and says something opposite of that and she says "oh yeah totalaayyy" 🙄 She's just a grifter. She acts like an AI chatbot - she will agree with anything as long as the interaction continues.
@@andyruiz5676yea thats how I interpreted her comment too
Bro how did the blond girl say she would never cut someone off for their political beliefs but then say if you have pronouns in your bio that means she can assume where your beliefs lie in a lot of areas and she stays away… like the hypocrisy is pretty unreal
It's not necessarily that she would cut them off, she just knows what their personality is like and how they act, which is what she stays away from.

Wrong, her current beliefs and personality is against the current trend.

Unironically saying "pick yourself up by your bootstraps" makes anything else you say largely irrelevant. Tough love is very important, but tough love is not the same as being completely hands off and letting people suffer needlessly.
Yep. Thankfully these days the original meaning of that phrase is coming back to cultural understanding.
It's literally an impossible task and worded that way. Kind of makes me want to see where that meaning flip flopped, who brought it about, and if it was intentional.
I agree, some people are born without any hypothetical “boot straps” to lift themselves up with (or would hands be better to say?). It’s our duty as a society to help people who need it, as it also helps us as a collective.
But the thing is Republicans back school choice, birthing centers, and have charites for widows and single mothers. Republicans are significantly more charitable than Liberals.
So we put our money where it counts.

This is the most civil and focused episode we ever had. It's refreshing to see people agree and have open conversations when they don't.
i think its because in this case, the debate isnt happening based on stuff thats identity-based. its natural that once you focus on stuff that people feel instead of how people feel they are, they're not gonna be as intense.
You should watch the unedited version, Hunter, Avalon posted it, and the reason the debate looks civil is because they cut out like 90% of it. Truly some incredible moments that I have no idea why they cut out in the uncut version.
@@ian-nator2685 I think it's also because they don't rely on identity and cult like behaviour to dictate what they should think too.
It's because both sides were liberal at one point. Meaning they tend to understand the importance of building points on fact. 😅

not even just psychology, imo it’s more so whatever political affiliation will get her the most attention
Javen sounds like he’s trying to convince himself of his own beliefs mid conversation 💀😅
Lol yeah it sounds like he's never actually thought about it. He just read or watched stuff and ran with it. Now that he's having to say it out loud by himself he's realising it's all inconsistent and doesn't make sense.
He actually kinda sounds like he’s foreign if you listen to his accent.
i know the ex liberals were saying that conservatives are rarely even offended but tbh I think they are just passive aggressive. and how he seems so CONFUSED 😭 it's like he doesn't know what he believes anymore. it's crazy seeing grown adults silently argue with each other.

One of the least hostile sessions I’ve watched. This was very nice to watch and ingest!
Even better to digest!
Yes, because they were not writing comments on X/Twitter but they were talking face to face.
The least hostile because they cut everything out. Watch the video behind the paywall. It is literally night and day. This video actually made me so mad because it is a lie.
Oh see I disagree lol. I felt they were all holding back their true thoand feelings at the expense of "getting along". It was way too safe and contrived for me.
Agreed💯❤
The guy with dreadlocks is so smart. He was spitting facts! The girl with a blonde hair was the exact opposite. She was an empty can.
Love how this was so much less hostile and less influencer oriented than other recent videos. Nice to see people actually finding middle ground instead of treating this as a hostile debate
Literally what I was thinking, both sides have their own stories and valid reasons and manage to still agree with each other on some things. Its refreshing to just see two groups of people from different beliefs have a calm mature conversation
It's all about editing and Jubilee's biases 😂
Jubilee cut down the video and hid the real video in the extended cut.
Hunter was spot on about, both sides having tribalistic tendencies.
He has a UA-cam channel btw hunter avallone
Except when the prompt of “Changing political sides was traumatic for me” came on - *every* former liberal stepped forward, whilst only 1 former conservative stepped forward (and she was the one raised in a weirdly religious family).
IMO, if both sides were equally tribalistic and cultish - then an even amount of people from *both* sides would have stepped forward on that prompt.
@amberjulia123 these are 4 peoples anecdotal experiences. You cannot use anecdotes with sample size this small to draw conclusions.
@@amberjulia123 Sampling bias. There's no way a group of 10 people can represent Americans equally. Even if what you're saying is true, it doesn't change the fact that the two party system is very polarizing. I'm sure hundreds of thousands or millions of both former Republicans and Democrats have had traumatic experiences switching sides. But saying one is side is worse at something than the other is very polarizing to both sides.
@@amberjulia123conformation bias. You can't see the full picture when the video only presents the expeirences of 8 people out of tens of thousands.
Also note that many of the people i Jubilee's videos are influencers and aren't picked randomly
'It was very very very traumatic to become conservative' says Javen after his whole 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps and don't complain' speech? Wow.
Found that comment hilarious considering it is literaly impossible to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Like the physics doesn't work, and it says so much about that particular saying
Also the fact that his traumatic story was literally just having a transgender family member?? But then claims the other side is too emotional.
I thought the "bootstraps" type didn't believe in trauma...or mental health for that matter...🙃
Its a phrase/metaphor.
“A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn't literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison.”
Classic liberal making decisions based off of an emotional base rather than a logical one.😂
@@saramysko1022 And you are the definition of the Dunning-Kruger effect. None of us here needed you to copy and paste the definition of a metaphor, sweetie. Zelda is correct. A metaphor only works if the premises are 1:1. The bootstrap metaphor is using a physical scenario in order to illustrate an abstract concept. However, the scenario isn't possible according to the laws of physics and therefore, the metaphor doesn't make any sense because you cannot equate it to the situation abstractly. If, physically, it were possible to pick yourself up by your bootstraps, the metaphor would hold water. I know you're a little lacking in brain cells, so please just do a little more reading on parts of speech. Abstract thinking is clearly not your strength.
As a moderate conservative, Keri is the only conservative panel guest that I respect intellectually. No offense but the other three don't seem very intelligent.

Hopefully some people who watched this realized that we can have respectful conversations like this and that we have more in common then we think.
*than
Did you miss the part where they called LGBT people perverts and liberals political terrorists 😭
You see more of this when both sides hold their bad players to account for their actions rather than making excuses for them.
Either side if someone is so indoctrinated they can't handle an opposing opinion then it's them as an individual who have a problem they need to deal with and while their side back them up for simply "voting the same way" it leads to zero productive discussion and nothing gets done as a result. Both sides need to learn to compromise as both sides get a lot of things wrong.
There is always that one participant that talks wherever a second of silence lingers. And today it's Emily. She talked for about 80% of the air time, while adding the least to the conversations. So weird.
She’s the worst
Shes delusional - I could tell within 2 questions that she was going to have some CRAZY talking points. Nothing she said added to the conversation, and for someone who thinks liberals are "too emotional", she certainly spoke about how she "feels" a lot - she doesn't have any factual basis for her beliefs. Heck she doesn't even know WHAT a pronoun is, she just knows she doesn't like them.
Conservatives are all toddlers throwing their toys out of the pram because they think they're being told what to do - they don't want to educate themselves, they just want to get their own way. Its so embarrassing.
There's a lot of editing in these videos, I found her funny and refreshing.
@@user-yp9iu2qy9wshe's just annoying 😭
Actually Emily is in the best position of all these guests. She has a middle ground mindset. I understand why you're saying that tho. But the few things she added were powerful. I'm sure most people would agree with you tho
I don’t think Emily knows a single thing she’s talking about because every other word that comes out of her mouth is a contradiction.

As someone who has watched Hunter on youtube for years and had my beliefs switch around the same time that his did it was very nice to see him in this group and see how he has grown as a person.
Yooo, Hunter viewed your comment in the video he did about Jubilee
dude, congrats one your moment being shown!
hes a hateful bigot now

It really took me until 14:23 To realize that was Hunter Avallon. He's a really interesting character because when I was very Republican. He was one of the people I would watch but slowly I stopped watching those people and develop my views. And when I came back to see those perspectives again I saw he had also changed. mad respect

Factss
Sometimes it feels like Jubilee doesn't care about education just shock value
This was honestly one of the best, most productive middle ground episodes (on the liberal vs conservative topic) yet. Their understanding of each others' beliefs and past experiences opened up room for a much more nuanced and respectful conversation. I like how they rarely got too caught up in those trigger-points and buzz-word topics that only really end up going in circles, and focused more on the deeper layers that inform the different ideologies. So many great points from both sides!
yes
It really did! And I think everyone listened to each other really well. And as you say, yes I think cos they could relate cos they had thought similar ways in the past to the other side.
Respectfully, there wasn't a religious kook in this group.
while i definitely agree with most viewers that this discussion was far more civil, balanced and overall positively influential on the people involved, i was very concerned with some of Javen’s opinions. i hate to be singling anyone out, and i respect people’s opinions regardless of my disagreement with them or the lack of respect/humanity i see in them, but i feel like some of Javen’s remarks, especially about abortion and the “alphabet” community are simply nonsensical and potential pointers to a very unhealthy mindset.
Why exactly?
@@janakugel3456 It literally sounds like he had a traumatic situation possibly with his trans friend and now thinks all LGBT people are evil child molesters. His dehumanization of lgbt people was very clear and he looks very sad saying it like he has no choice but to hate them because of what they represent. All or nothing extremism is unhealthy.
i agree i also think he probably got sucked into the anti woke libs of tik tok spew and just regurgitates what he heard there, he really didn't seem capable of critical thinking@@JamieBleu
I think he is in the closet lol @@JamieBleu
It's even worse because he's gay and in the closet. I matched with him once on Grindr in the Bay Area and he was adamant that none of his family/friends find out his sexuality
I actually liked Emily’s take on politics; she is definitely Conservative but she agreed with a lot of liberal beliefs except when it came to pronouns.
So cool to see Hunter Avallone here. I’ve loved seeing his political glow up. Usually these feel so lopsided with Daily Wire media-trained people on the R side, random college students on the L side.

I also love how the term itself is supposed to indicate something physically impossible. You CANNOT “pull yourself up by the bootstraps” thats the entire point of the phrase.
It's always "pick yourself up by the bootstraps" while ignoring that a majority of human life we have had a community to depend on. When was the last time you asked your neighbor for sugar? Also, the bootstraps quote was originally used to refer to a task that is impossible. Etymology is fun

its really interesting to compare emily and javen in this debate, you can tell emily has some valuable pluralistic beliefs but she hides behind the "fun" of being a conservative (she makes fun of pronouns, other grifty stuff), but with javen its genuinely scary... you can tell he's being dragged around by his trauma to whichever cult accomodates him at the time
