The family is where we learn about relationships, power, vulnerability, dynamics between people... and this conditions us for life - unless we do a lot of deconditioning work. 👌🏼
My family taught me how to be racist and homophobic and also threw in religion. At the age of 37 I’m a totally different person now but I still slip from time to time and say certain things that just aren’t okay and I stop myself and apologize.
Thank you. I am passionate about politics because I am traumatised by toxic power dynamics within the home, and want to fight for a society built around cooperation, compassion and care, not a world motivated by coorporate greed, environmental destruction and other ideals that demean and objectify women, children and minorities. I think solidarity, debate and political activity is a healthy way to express our anger at the unjust system we live under. But I also see your point about most politicians being power hungry and traumatised.
Your best way to express your anger in the comfort of your own home. If you try to change politics through anger your opponents absolutely will not listen to you.
You might appreciate the phrase, "the personal is political." Yes, you're absolutely right that many people in politics are not also applying their values to their own lives. Yet, some are trying to. You've spoken in previous videos about the changes you envision for humanity - I believe that these changes would need to take place through the realm of politics, through people desiring to change the world and create environments for better childhoods. Hopefully, the people seeking these changes can also get in touch with their own childhoods.
Brilliant analogy on many levels. I often do wonder how people could admire certain authoritarian politicians, but then I realize that they likely grew up in a poisonous pedagogical family unit, they are familiar with that dynamic -- it is needed and clung to like a raft.
Yes, I grew up this way and notice that I can feel sorry for abusers and don't want to see their ego's hurt and then I realize that this is from my childhood that it was my job to make sure the abusers had felt good about themselves and had their power. So I think it must be the same with the masses who seem totally hypnotized by authoritarian leaders and probably are just reanacting exactly what they know from childhood.
When I was following certain Christian you tuber I didn’t even realize they were toxic I was so brainwashed it’s crazy now that I’m woken up I’ve been feeling a ton of depression
Hey Daniel, are you possibly going to do a review/analysis of a book coming out from a child actor Jennette McCurdy called "I'm Glad My Mom Died" on her trauma from her mother. I would really appreciate your thoughts on it.
I have also read about this when it comes to religious leaders, they have this ideal family life they preach and try to live up to but their attempts to have an ideal family failed because they did not focus on ‘fixing’ themselves some first before having families.
A really interesting topic! My dad has two areas of "expertise". Politics and history. I believe both interests exist due to psychological reasons. He could not ever handle his emotional life so he uses these two interests as a substitute - something he can control and have and gain insight into. He also uses them as a way to impress other people. He often has said that I don't have a "political mind" and that I'm better at "the psychological stuff" (and in a way he is totally correct). There are considerable details about his political views which do not align very well with his actual personality though (the famous disconnect here). If you don't truly believe your own politics then what is the point of having that political ideology in the first place? Maybe to strive towards some utopian goal? Maybe to appear better than you actually are? Maybe to substitute the lack of insight into other areas of your life... so it feels and looks like you have everything in control. I'm not even gonna start with what I think of politics in general. Enough said.
Very true ! Think of MC CAIN (American politician) : born in a protestant puritan family, his parents used to put him in a bath of ice cold water as a punishment. To avoid that he was able to hold his breath until he felt unconscious....so, his parents were powerless. Imagine how much will is needed to do such a performance. Try to do the same....totaly impossible for my humble ass.
it's interesting that you bring up this subject. Personally, from time to time, i think about going into politics but there are 2 things that mainly stop me: The minor one is getting into everything from zero which is a big hurdle. While the major one is seeing and imagining all of my unresolved stuff bursting out in such a position. From all the stress, interpersonal interactions, power and responsibility it's like an extreme testing ground to push all of the old broken buttons that were internalized. Not to mention the whole popularity thing. From some experience in a managerial position i can totally see how even the most well intentioned people who haven't done any internal healing become easily corrupted without even noticing. Also there's this whole thing that our broken world with hurt and dissociated people will promote the same ones to power and influence.
There is a big disconnect, and it can be frightening to a degree to see people somewhat sealing themselves up in their own confirmation-biases because no one escapes that altogether, perhaps, just in degrees. Even with love you can fool yourself so deeply. Kindness is a better bet than love and you sometimes in humility have to accept your own kindness!
What is depressing in this picture is not only the blind behaviour of politicians but all their followers who put them in power like we protect an abusive parent or a stalker (by helping a stalker, a bully, we hope that their power and violence will never target us, we hope to be safe from that violence).
I totally agree, a zillionaire, a king of the world, a dictator or dictatoress, they want absolute free will, but still cannot attain because of their own unconscious unhealed trauma.
"Politics is war by other means." I believe this is true. Liberal democracy wants us to believe politics is a noble debate between respecting parties, denying the ugly truth of fighting for material resources between competing groups. That denial creates a shadow side --- and seems to me that shadow is getting bigger and weirder.
Ye Politics is a hot bed of traumatized attention/power seekers ... (not always) but for most part politicians are the worse of us. a proverb of the kind "if the fish smells, look at the head" comes to mind.
I dont want to go into specific politics, but this is an important video for me im definitely more polictely interested than the average person and it has been very damaging to me recovering from my dysfunctional family. To be more informed about how dysfunctional this country is plus have all this anger from separating from a dysfunctional family is very difficult i need a way to accept things are the way they are and there is very little i can do. I know this feeling that im responsible for changing everything comes from my parents msking me feel like i was responsible for everything that went on. However, a child or a even a teen has less of a chance of taking control of a toxic household than any random person does of becoming i dont know a president.
An idea for a potential future video: A few days ago I've come across a book called “House of Cards” by Robyn Dawes, whose main thesis is that many of our common beliefs are popular myths, as empirical studies have repeatedly shown them to be baseless. There are at least two aspects of this: One is whether those specific beliefs of ours are true. Another is the strange disconnect between what empirical psychology finds, and what are our own impressions and firmly held beliefs. What could be the reason for the discrepancy.
"I Claudius" about he life of the most unlikely and unpretentious Roman emperor is a contrast and great rarity with what your narrative presents. Would that the U.S. would have more leaders like him.
My dead Minister Spy Exhubby is a perfect example of a guy who was Class President & dreamed of a career in politics. He chose to ignore the abuse of his Dad that abandoned him with an alcoholic mom running from bill collectors in Florida & kept going on the sick path his Dad intended when he took him to a prostitute & forced hum to join the US Air Force in order to get permission to marry me at age 17. I suppose Bob's Dad was a Freemason slave as the shopkeeper in Baltimore that dumped his kids at the orphans' home in tough weeks. I was blind to the repercussions of marrying a man with political desires at age 17, but he had to die to teach me that. Thx!🙏😲
You're right Daniel, it's not irrelevant, but going within is the priority. If anything, I'd agree that feminism is the most important, meaningful cultural/political issue,
There is no such thing as 'apolitical'. An apolitical person accepts the status quo and the politics of the ruling class, whether they realize it or not. Regardless, I enjoy the video and I think it's true for capitalist politics. 🙄
Politics is and has always been the purview of the philosophically uncomplex. Socrates taught us all about these sophists over two millennia ago but most people don't listen.
Child abuse occurs within a cultural context that the political process would be more effective than any other human system (religion, acadamia, youtube infulencing) in the elimination of it. Your assertion that there seems to be little difference between left, middle and right is considerably exasperating and ridiculous. Also, expecting early 20 century politicians to see through the romantic notions of their early lives in a memoir is anachronistic, and spinning that into leveling charges of hypocrisy is childish and a far reach.
Hi, would you be able to give an analysis in one of your future videos of the dynamic between Venus and Serena Williams and their father, from what we know?
I remember joining TikTok and following all the liberals and it literally just made me go insane I couldn’t do it anymore. Went from that side to the conservative side and noticed that a lot of them aren’t as emotional as they are the liberals. I finally had to get off of Tik Tok and am seeing the conservatives point of view. But I find myself not really liking politics though. I grew up in a conservative household so I think I was just acting out when I chose the liberal side now I just want to be happy and try not to get involved in it. My ex is a liberal and it’s hard because he gets way too into it when I would watch a documentary about mole people in NY😂 seems more interesting.
I called antifa stupid and my dumb teacher who is a creationist says don't call people stupid. I hate it when people dismiss negative feelings. I never back down
Reminds me of when my teachers would tell us, "Hate is a strong word" (don't use that word). Seems like a useless emotion to some, but I nonetheless reclaim it as my own to be more whole. Come to think of it, I hate teachers who would say stupid shit like that.
...a good teacher would say let's debate that you give the reason for & someone else against....problem is teaching now - like politics - believes everyone should be their authentic selves so long as that 'self' is exactly the same as them, otherwise you're a 'bad' person .....the madness is... if we all did think alike it would likely be due to a totalitarian society .....just replace the word stupid with illogical or contradictory...it's harder for them to shut u up then....if they still do try to just ask to b given time to present your reasons now or at a time that suits them ...if they still refuse or shit u up then u know you've got a a mindless servant not a teacher.
It’s the people that don’t want to be in politics that should
and vice versa. the ones desperate to have control over others should never be allowed to
Exactly
Totally. Similarly in the workplace, the best people managers are those who don't like managing people.
Like Job Snow who was the only one who didn't want to be a king, and that would give him some wisdom. #got
