honestly it is a relief to know the enemy's names. now we know who to protect ourselves from
After WWII German companies complicit with the fa*cist regime, that supplied weaponry, chemicals for the death camps, that readily gave up their Jewish staff, continued to exist, right to this day.
MAGA will come to an end, and we must remember those that were complicit in this regime. No free ride, no excuses, no forgetting.
Do we really know who to protect ourselves from? We know the MAGA wingnuts in our community that might go buck, yet do not know who is manipulating/controlling them.
💯
Wys said that's what my ancestors pushed for and I think that helped with the hate if the hate was allowed to show there hand we wouldn't be surprised to see it now as a blk women in Memphis I really hated the fakes knowthey didn't like us here and feeling like they are forced to deal with us here
This is happening on a personal level as well. When someone shows you they have no empathy for someone they will definitely not have it with you as well. I have happily let go of those people.
I’m feeling that with my sister. She has not a grain of empathy for anyone and it’s terrifying and confusing. I don’t understand how a whole movement can delete empathy for millions of people! They’re like cookie cutter people!😢
@@ashgreenspinner1503 Yes, to me one of the big things is that it's been shown in experiments, over and over, just how strongly most people avoid doing something that the mass of people disapprove of. I think that stops many people doing and saying evil. When the mass censure is taken away, as the video above so eloquently says, the people who only were good to avoid public censure don't have that 'check and balance' anymore.
... But also, so many people are just so Fing manipulatable. I see it everywhere. Before Trump I saw it in the cult I grew up in. It's so depressing for me, and hard to fathom just how many people will give all of themselves to an evil leader.
And then they wonder why they weren't invited to Christmas dinner.
Ain't nothing fun, much less holy, about their hate.
My son is the same age as you are, and he, too, has said that things have to get worse before they can get better. A clear view of reality, making people look into their hearts and having to declare where they will stand, is necessary before true change can come. I love you all. ❤
Things can always get worse.. look at Israel.. We need to accept reality but we cannot be passive, as if the fever will pass with time.. that the immune system will heal.. We are the immune system of the Nation and we have to mobilize. Election in 2 years need to be a referendum .. that is the next big move we can focus on... while we try to resist everything week by week until then.
Truthane is not going to come progressives and socialists have lost.Because americans, do you know support those movements
Living in the red parts of Washington state as a young person, it truly shocked me when I ran into someone who would openly speak in such hateful ways. So when I ran into people who thought that hateful individuals didn't exist to that extent anymore, I shared my experience encountering those people so they knew that the threat is real. I just wish more people understood how prevalent those thoughts are before we got to the salute situation.
I’m SE of Seattle and there are a solid chunk of obvious mawa here where I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised to see them.
I'm in Idaho and surrounded by these people, I'm genuinely having a hard time not being consumed by hatred for them
@riseofdarkleela so true, a lot of people assume the PNW is all super progressive, but it's a variable mix of all mindsets, including those who collect specific memorabilia and are openly celebrating that gesture having been used by a weirdo billionaire
As an Albertan our local US cable feeds are Spokane so I know first-hand what you are talking about.. It's the Neo-Nazi White Paradise along with Oregon... So gross!
Sh!t. You're probably inside the American Redoubt. A multi state right wing separatist faction, eastern Washington, eastern Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Redoubt
My view on all of this mess: I've been sober for 14 years, and I would have never gotten there if I never hit rock bottom, and this is America's rock bottom. Hitting rock bottom is scary, humiliating & painful, but the other side made it worth it. Stay strong, don't let them overwhelm you, keep your eye on the prize. ❤
I always go back to thinking about the people who survived Hiroshima...they witnessed some of the most horrific sights humanity has ever born witness to hands down. But the ones who survived also got to see the rebuilding of Japanese society, got to see their children and grandchildren grow up in a world that was not perfect but was safe.
My only regret is that not all of us will survive to see the other side...but I suppose that's why we have to keep fighting. To save as many of ourselves as possible.
It’s been said…“When the mask of pretense falls, it is then that we see the unfiltered hues of character”Ralph Waldo Emerson.
❤
We really do need to watch "news" from the other side. Know your enemy.
I’ve done this from the beginning. We need to know what they are being told in their alternate universe. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer!
This is the most gross and shocking thing I've seen from the "Christian right".
ua-cam.com/video/3ArFX66-GYQ/v-deo.html
I pay for Ground News for this reason. I can’t stand the voices and faces of those hateful people but I have read so many articles from the other side that GN thinks I have an opposite bias to what I really have.
I won’t. I get too damn mad. I’d rather watch this lady, Politics Girl, and Brian Tyler Cohen.
Yes, that's why I'm here.
I thought this during his first term. But I don’t know anymore. I look at other countries, at history, and I see that things can get so dark, and stay dark for a very, VERY long time. Decades. Even centuries. I don’t think a good outcome is near on the horizon. I desperately want it to be. I want to see things get better in my lifetime, but I just don’t know anymore.
Other countries and history arent America with the Internet. History echoes but the future is always changeable. Things can be different this time.
@ sure, they /can/ be different, but they aren’t guaranteed or even necessarily likely to be.
Nothing is set in stone yet. All we can do is fight for whatever we can still save.
The fact that this administration is moving so fast makes me wonder if they won't meet their burnout point faster as well. But there are too many new variables to say.
You, young lady, are truly wonderful. 🫶💜 ✌️ ☮️
Yet another brilliant insight. When the MAGA trauma bonding ends Americas renaissance will begin. Keep up the amazing work. 🙏
I have felt this since after the first heartbroken panic on Nov 6. I realized that If this idiot hadn’t been elected we would never be able to truly progress because too many people refused to wake up to reality. Now they will be forced to. It does not diminish the pain and suffering we will all have to endure. We can provide community and assistance to those who need it and ease whatever pain we can. I too am optimistic.
The older I get the more depressed I get about the human condition. I’m sad that my grandsons are growing up in this kind of world. It’s so sad that so many people are so angry and hateful.
And don’t forget, STUPID!!!
It’s soooo exhausting cuz those who know better didn’t even need to see them out themselves. It was always obvious. This is mainly to wake the sheep up. It’s just infuriating that the admission price is the suffering of others
Very obvious; well said.
In psychological work you must expose the broken places, as you say, the festering wounds must rise to the top. You've got to expose the triggers and from there the underlying traumas and beliefs that caused the harm. You've got to process thru (not over not around) all the ugly stuffed down emotions, horror, disbelief....all of it, debrade it, if you will, before you can come out on the other side and create an environment of healing and rebalancing. This is where we are as a nation. Exposing our toxic social psychological wounds as a culture, as a people. Too many people have avoided dealing with their own inner wounds and therefore those wounds have been expressed into the outer world culminating in this master class in awakening self awareness as a culture. It's ugly. It hurts. But we can't go back. We must buck up and forge ahead and keep trooping towards the light with as much love and compassion as we can. These are some really harsh growing pains but I believe that enough of us are already on this journey or willing to begin the journey that we'll support each other along. And the ones who refuse, who are too entrenched in their pain and hatred to make the shift, well, we'll see what the Universe has in store for them. We must each do our work for ourselves. Holding hands with of all of you in creating the New Earth with love. Thank you for being here.
Our experiment in Democracy is entering a verydelicate and interesting stage. I am grateful to have people like you keeping an eye on developments!
It needs a renovation just like the White House did after Canada got through with it in 1812 or so... /s
My Top 5 must haves for democratic reform be it Canada or the USA... 1-Proportional representation preferably with ranked balloting and automatic run offs... 2-public campaign financing with strict budgets 3-ban on advertising outside of strict regulations that must be truthful and non-libelous 4-30 day campaigns with all official electioneering disallowed and 5-electoral college scrapped entirely. It should be a populist system based on winning 50% + 1. That way everyone can potentially run but that wouldn't hurt the main parties either because most people still don't vote 3rd party or support them despite their necessity to keep the system from going stale and corrupt as is clearly the case in both Canada and the USA... In both nations histories, only two parties have ruled basically which isn't healthy....
America is not a democracy, it's a constitutional republic. In fact, in the Federalist Papers (which was propaganda for the constitution) James Madison says the problem with the Articles of the Confederation was that it was too democratic. James Madison didn't even want a Bill of Rights, Thomas Jefferson convinced him, and Madison thought that the Bill would keep the unwashed masses at bay. Like give the poor people bread crumbs to satisfy them. This was also after Shays Rebellion, ya know, when poor veterans of the Revolutionary War for Independence weren't paid, rebelled. Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine were most likely the ones who supported the working class. America was founded on class struggle (the rich won). The Federalist wanted centralized government for the rich. The Anti-Federalists wanted decentralized power because of fear the rich would create a oligarchic constitutional republic (which happened).
It’s always better to know the truth. Even though it hurts like hell. I hope you’re right. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Your intelligence and passion is infectious and eye opening. Keep on speaking. We're here for it.
I just keep telling myself it's always darkest before the dawn.
It's terrible to find out how the people I know really feel. I can't be around them.
Anyone in power who is not fighting this, needs to step down immediately. Make room for those who actually care!
The only way out is through
Darkest before the dawn too! When it's scariest you have to double-down not doubt your beliefs... Like that damn motorcycle in a cage trick stunt drivers used to show at local fairs... And of course The Simpsons movie...
@@stickynorth Your avatar pic is cool
It may be divisive but I'm very glad to know who the selfish, greedy, nasty people are!
I agree in principle but at my age, I may not live to see us get to the other side. The rights our parents and grandparents fought for are being destroyed.
On a side note... Love your earrings 😂❤😂
I join you in your optimism. The lancing of this horrendous pustule of evil will allow for real healing. I am pivoting to focus on creating the path for that healing
If we make it through this, there needs to be no dropping of arms when the enemy surrenders. We're here today because we didnt go all the way to the ocean in 1865.
Nice thing for you. But terrible for the millions who likely make it through or will never be the same again after this 4 years.
Which is why none of us can just sit around. We improve our own strength, we help each other.
Also good reason she, as a content creator with platform, needs to help spread tools and resources for us viewers to use.
Thank you for your voice. You give me some hope that this nightmare might end someday.
FYI, I went to Journalism school here in Alberta in the mid 2000's and open Neo Nazi believes were openly tolerated and I find that disturbing especially when that student then went onto work for the Sun Media chain which of course still backs Trump and PP and all the other openly fascist people in this nation so I find the feigned shock that they know these people exist everywhere including their own hometowns particularly ironic and delicious as as the case this weekend in St Albert, a wealthy white-flight suburb of Edmonton where people were goose-stepping and sieg heiling on the streets holding "Deport them all" signs while the RCMP talked to them they did nothing nor charged them with any crime despite several hate crime laws being broken here... If you think Canada is any better? Sadly and increasingly it isn't...
I agree that a radical positive transformation could be on the other side of this. However it is not guaranteed and I don't what the probabilities are but the more people choose to act from a value system that prioritizes compassion the higher the probability will be.
No matter what WE who have seen what this is building too must keep compassion.
Another content creator, an older white? man with graying hair and a beard who spends more time slapfighting with anti comments literally said to someone (the woman who went viral for crying she got betrayed by her vote) "I hope you and your family get deported first since that's what you voted for"
That woman's problems are self inflicted, but it crossed a line to condemn innocents related to her to suffer too. That kind of speech and behavior is unacceptable even if it feels justified in FAFO.
We cannot forget to be compassionate to others. In fact, we have to teach it. Teach by example.
Legacy is being exposed as the corrupt money that buys what we end up hearing. I worked for a well known newspaper. I was appalled by what I witnessed. I had learned (by police radio) that a little boy had died, hours before his mother knew. This was torture to listen to. It was hours. The response of our two editors.... high fiving each other, "we got our headline." I knew then that I had to quite. I could not be part of this. In the age of the internet, the truth is out there for those that want to educate themselves. You and others are providing an important voice at this time.
Yeah the hate has been a-festering my whole long life, but many had snapped out of it, grown out of it, or just fit in with a the more-widespread 'tolerance' of the culture as a whole. The core of true horribles, like Tim McVeigh, were always there but few. The Trump movement itself has grown a new batch of haters, as well as given our backwoods Nazis a visible home. Both groups will diminish in number as his popularity dips, the public at large rejects them loudly and consistently enough, especially if social and mass media companies go back to not being a-holes, or seen to be a-holes. People are very malleable, and it is NOT too late.
I needed this today. Spent the morning peaceful protesting. And the afternoon mourning the lives I wanted for my children because it looks so bleak. Needed this so much.
You are absolutely right about your words!!!
Let's just hope the wound doesn't kill the person
Been saying this for years. They where always there.
100%.
Agree. And if we believe that this is an opportunity to create a better society we'll be looking for opportunities rather than complaining about problems. The problem is the solution if we look at it right.
I sure hope you're right. But knowing who your enemy company truly is (and it's so nice that they have deliberately outed themselves) let's me know who will get my money and who can suck it.
Exactly what was meant to happen. America needed a change in order to awaken people to how corrupt the government is on both sides. Things will change for the better in the next couple years. ❤
As insane as life has become since January 20 this may be a huge wake up for a lot of cult members, which in the long term would be a good thing. And know thine enemy is always good advice. My heart goes out to all the innocent victims, and I’m going to fight every inch of the way to get this to stop.
Looking from the outside looking in, I agree with you. The "awakening" will be the cleansing. However my heart goes out to those who will bear the brunt of the awakening....😢
Hey you ❤❤ binge watching all your videos where have you been all my adult life well all my 40s im 46 now and a big mental shift so now i sought of understand politics but you are really helping i live in Memphis work in Mississippi and i just became woke and i feel so free im not scared of government anymore really im mad at all i missed being brain washed thank you🎉❤❤
We DID treat it 50 years ago. 😢
Thank you, Angela. This is what I needed to hear today.
We see the enemy, that's for sure. This is only the beginning. We will get to the other side and learn something about our country. I'm with you on this. Chang their hearts and minds, let's hope so.
Thanks -

I HAVE to believe that America is founded and rooted in Justice and that it will come. Thank you for this level-headed message of hope. You're right. It's allowing the people who don't belong in my life to pop their heads up and show who they have always been.
The US founders were white male landowners and were the only ones who could vote for decades upon decades. Only until last century could women vote and even then poll taxes were required to be paid until mid century, which disenfranchised the poorest.
You really need to come to reality or it’s gonna hurt worse with every shitty event. Wanna know how to win? Be disciplined and stingy with your money. Fucking with their money has worked in the Boston Tea Party, the Union destroying Atlanta just to hurt non wartime trade, the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Start cutting all unnecessary spending. I’m giving you this game for free and you should pass it on. Good luck.
America was 100% not founded on Justice, but the roots of it remain deep in the soil from the Indigenous peoples we committed genocide against and the enslaved Africans who fed and built this nation. It is up to us now to dig it out of the darkness and let the sun nurture it. Justice is a verb
My gratitude is boundless for finding your channel. Your insights truly soothe my weary soul.🙏💞✌️
If the US were a medical patient, we’d be stuck waist deep in an active meat grinder right now saying “please doc, when will I walk again?’ Then the doctor would shine a bright light on meat grinder that swallowed the lower half of your body and say, “well now that we have some light on the situation, we can start to turn off the meat grinder in about 2-4 years.”
The only light I see right now is how much better America will be on the other side of this. But, I can't dwell on that knowing that so many will be hurt along the way.
I agree that it’s good to know who doesn’t have our backs. We who do care about the wellbeing of the people gotta keep our oxygen masks handy because we have a lot of work to do.
100% TRUTH, MA'AM!!! I just found your channel yesterday. Thanks, algorithm!!
I appreciate your perspective and am happy to have found your channel.
My fear is that the hate will be normalized. I have realized lately that although the modern Nazis are using the aesthetics of the classic Nazis, they seem to be pursuing a government more similar to Putin's low-morale Mafia state than Hitler's high-morale totalitarian state. The classic Nazis relied on a highly motivated populace, and because the populace were motivated by hate, that flame burned out quickly in search of fuel. But in a low-morale Mafia state, where the head of state is motivated more by self-interest than hate, he can use a low simmering hate to keep the populace distracted without actually trying to complete the genocide. So long as they genocide slowly enough, they can keep the hate at a low simmer, keep the populace too complacent and demoralized to rebel, all the whole using that hatred to control them. If the descent happens slowly enough, they may be able to simmer every frog in this country.
There has been movies and TV shows warning us about this since the 50's. We were not paying attention or we thought it was just a movie or a TV show. I hope something good comes from all this.
At this point, how would you even teach these people empathy and compassion? It's not in them to have it for whatever reason. I feel sorry for them.
amen. been saying this myself.
I pray that you're right, I truly do, because it's almost unbearable what's going on.
It's not what you go through but what you GROW through that counts. We have GOT to stand United or we will fall divided.
I hope you are right.
They are a purulent discharge! 😉
Thank you! And I LOVE your earrings!!! 😊
How do propose we deal with these haters?
We are going through growing pains. It will be painful!
What did I do before without you speaking exactly what I’m thinking. You are a huge VOICE. THANK YOU.
Love your earing! Your message too! Thanks for saying it!
I really so appreciate your articulation of how these horrors, these abcesses, have been here since our country's founding and it's a good (tho' fxxxing painful) thing they're outing themselves. Thank you for taking action by sharing your wisdom ❤
Maybe it's the former army chaplain assistant in me that is used to crisis intervention, but I'm 100% on board with this perspective and I felt it right from the beginning. We grieved what we had, the illusions that we were attached to, but we're seeing the truth, and I know that we will come out on the other side despite the horrors. I've come out of the dark and absolutely hopeless situations more times than I can count.
I feel that people won’t come out the other side until they themselves have been on the unfortunate side of the hate. Until they themselves have a “find out” stage. Their lack of empathy blinds them to the hurt of others.
More brilliant analysis & synthesis, thank you.🙏🏼💓
I have had this same feeling. It's a bit like an abscess of rage is finally coming to a head. An infection of anger and hatred that has been building since probably the Civil War. Now that the virulence has been lanced maybe it will be the catharsis this country needs to evolve and heal.
I live in Tennessee and oh yeah, it’s way out in the open. Ever since the troll rode the escalator. I want my son and his Canadian wife to get my granddaughters out of the country.
My friend and I were saying this the other day, as terrible as it is now & will continue to be, ultimately when it gets bad enough I think that’s when people will collectively realize “oh, we need to turn this around”
Lancing boils is not for the weak willed. It can smell really bad.
Thanks for putting this into words. Brava!
What gives me hope is that many countries have gone through terrible periods of repression and autocracy, but they have come out of these periods with stronger social and political scenes. I think of Spain and Portugal who suffered decades of fascist dictatorship. Just two generations after the collapse of those regimes, they have functioning democracies that score better than the US on various parameters. The Baltic nations were part of the USSR in my lifetime and are now healthy democracies.
I'm not from the US, but that was very comforting for me as well, as my country deals with its own right wing issues.
My main fear is that they are the actual majority.
I hope you are right
We need the positive, constructive thoughts. "Maybe this is something we have to go through to get to the other side." I've been hoping that myself. Thanks for sharing. Robert in NYC.
I appreciate that you said you don't mean to minimize reports & predictions of suffering. Likewise, I don't mean to minimize reports & predictions of the horrid words & behaviors of the perpetrators of that suffering. Identifying the enemy is, indeed, useful, but, right up until combat is the only remaining recourse, so is diplomacy. People do hateful things out of ignorance, fear, conditioning, obtuseness, unthinking conformity, and social pressure that don't necessarily speak of an abiding hatred that was always there. Either side of any argument about what is in people's hearts is bound to be more nuanced than is given credit. We ALL are relatively ignorant - relative to all the OTHER strides we, as a species, have made in terms of understanding how the physical world works - of how WE work. We all have contributed to the dysfunctional systems within which we now are trying to operate. As white folks, those of us most in power, for example, we've had 400 years to eliminate all tolerance of systems that support racism, misogyny, etc. I think there's been enough ignorance and obtuseness to go around even among us liberals. Those on the receiving end of that may even think of us as enemies, betimes, regardless of what's in our hearts.
I am also a hopeless optimist. You are not alone.
I 💯 agree.
I agree. Thank you for your insight.
It's feeling very Pluto in Aquarius. "Pluto's time in Aquarius is expected to bring about changes in technology, innovation, and the way we envision the future."
Very well said! Thanks for sharing
I sincerely hope you are right
This is the hope. If there is a silver lining at all.
Thank you for your channel Ms. Baker.
Let's hope it serves to make us better
People are outing themselves
At last the corruption is exposed...
I hate that my sibling and his wife are part of this bullshit. My older sister is of the mind that, "if it hasen't happened, it's not a problem." I hate her for that. She has a lot more privillage than me and my mom, but her kids are obviously not totally white. I hate that she is ignoring the problems that are about to happen just because she "can't emotionally handle it." But at the same time, I have so much compassion for my sister and her kids. It really sucks for those who know and those who feel... Honestly, I wish I was a Charmed Sister, because then I could at least help! It sucks when you care and can't do anything to protect others...
❤❤❤
Ironically this proves critical race theory is true.
Hold on, it's gonna get even darker first!
The answer is inward. We've learned a lot from history, but people lack the courage to convict it outward in their own time period. People are catching up, but some of us are telling you the straight up answer right now. The faster people figure it out, the faster we can work in that direction. I'm giving some really good info on tons of videos, and I've made a couple of videos on the Covinark channel, and it's mostly unrealized so far. If we can't talk, we gotta walk. Please, people... Forget all ego and entitlement, open your minds, and listen.
Amen...
I've been watching, and I believe in a couple of decades the younger people won't be motivated (they are being denied education) to keep things the same and will enthusiastically join up with BRiCS, which would then be BRiCSU or BRiCSA.
