  • Hai guys ^..^
    Today I talk about the story behind how I've come to have a fundamental change in my worldview, and the toll it took on me. I talk about my experience with the woke mob at my school, and how the mob mentality is detrimental to a free society. And finally I talk about being ostracized, about fear, despair, and hope. At the end of the video, I present a gift to the woke mob at my school hehe

      @@yaboiavery5986 There’s some truth to that, sure. But my observation is that the majority of those older people do not actually agree with or promote these things, but either do not have the means to move their kids to a different school, which presumably need to be private, and therefore expensive, or do not fully understand the severity of the problem. After all, how easy is it to send your kid to a non-woke college? How many non-woke colleges even exist? Are any of them very prestigious. I believe the answer is no, but I could be wrong. But it’s hard enough to ensure your kid gets into a decent school and that everyone involved can afford it; ensuring that they’ll go to a school that will not attempt to indoctrinate them is not exactly easy. Let alone K-12 schooling, or monitoring what they see online 24 hours a day, etc. The people actually _doing_ the indoctrination are far more to blame than the parents are; the parents are in some sense the victims here, along with the children, of course.

      @@NotForHire42 This was right after BLM and George Floyd happened. So a lot of people in the US had (and still have) this belief that all cops are killing black people at high rates, even believing that cops are the number one cause of black people’s deaths. All of this is not true if you check the statistics, but the media pushes this narrative so people in the US, especially where I live in California, believe this to be true. I believe there is a disconnect between the blacks in the poor communities riddled with crime vs the people that are not in crime ridden areas. Thus, defunding the police doesn’t make much of a difference in the lives of whites and Asians, that live in the richer areas, but it negatively impacts the black people that need the help of the police the most. Thus the votes by whites and asians to defund the police. Their intentions are good. Execution is not. As someone who was supportive of defunding the police initially in thinking I was helping, I started to question if that was really the right approach. Fwiw, I actually voted to increase police. My logic back then was that even if we should focus on helping blacks not get shot by police, my city still has a crap ton of crime and we need to get that handled first. Also, the city did end up not defunding the police and actually increased funding for the police. So they executed in favor of the black vote. The problem though is that we’ve always had a shortage of cops here (since nobody wants to work in heavy crime and risk their lives everyday) and with BLM, the number of cops dropped further. So even if you have more funding, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have more cops. With the negative perception of cops and cops getting attacked here now, it’s been even harder to recruit more cops here. And the laws here favor criminals now so our crime rate has continued to increase and is still increasing. They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I feel like I’m starting to see more of that here. But needless to say, BLM the organization, whites and Asians were pretty pissed that the defunding didn’t happen so they’re continuing to fight for it. I just find it ridiculous as the crime numbers keep climbing.

      It's really unsettling to see so many people speak of having their views challenged on one particular issue, and as a result of that they then disown all their other values and shift to the opposite political side, just because they think their flawed take on one issue means that they were wrong about everything. I myself have realized over the past few years that my opinions on 2 issues are now very much divergent from the Dem party line, gender identity politics/trans radicalism being one of them. I don't support medically transitioning children, Self ID, erasure of female spaces, male participation in female sports, etc. which is pretty much completely at odds with the left. However, just because my views are completely unaligned with the party line when it comes to that particular issue, does not mean that I must have been wrong on everything else and should consider a different political affiliation. I know that there are many other issues - which are equally or more important than the few I diverge on- that the left is right about, or at least has a much better take than the right.
      My point in saying this is it never has to be "all or nothing" when it comes to your political beliefs, you don't have to support a political party on every single issue. Being informed these days requires critical thinking, nuance and reading from a variety of different sources - you'll never get the full picture if you limit yourself to info from one side of the political aisle, or just mainstream media in general.

I already lost one friend because of this bullshit, and some of my other friends have also lost friends over being honest with their views. It’s frustrating because you really shouldn’t loose anyone in your life over an opinion, especially since we know we’re being lied to and gaslighted. I sense that it’s even harder not to feel isolated in the LGBT community because its gotten pretty extreme ngl. However, I do have hope that things might turn around in the coming years because I’ve been noticing a-lot more former leftists dissenting against the left over the past two years.

Either way, its hard to tell if an idea will work or not if you don't hear it. A university should be a place where open discussion (and more importantly counter arguments) should be common place, its how good ideas are formed.

One the loss of income/job is a fixable problem by trying to get them back on there feet so to speak. Plus trying to provide affordable housing in areas that aren’t in major cities were most difficult isn’t the problem.

Once I finally asked myself, why do all these family members I used to respect align with the right? I did some digging and realized my hatred from the right was due to my echo chamber approach to information. I was letting the left tell me what the right believes without asking the right for their actual reasons. At that point I realized it was the media telling me how to feel about their views while giving me false reasoning for their views. Voter ID laws are racist... Border security is racist. Once they started pointing their finger at everything the right supports as racist the veil grew thin. I am not a far right or far left person any more. I am center right with a liberal personality.

    I had a similar experience. I was raised and educated to be a far flung leftist. I hated Trump. Loyally voted for and supported any democrat politician against republicans. I even went through a long career in law enforcement without my ideology even budging (which is a pretty conservative dominated culture). But in the past few years, the insanity of the left’s position just became so far fetched and removed from reality, clearly being fueled by dishonest propaganda, and I could no longer delude myself into conforming with the leftist ideology anymore. Once the blinders started to slip off my eyes, the light was blinding bright. I can’t believe I was so stupid/brainwashed for so long.

      I am a gay white man as well, and I understand. I don't feel comfortable with the corporatization of LGBTQ and the social justice movement sometimes. I went to an affluent and liberal high school in Connecticut, and even with a student body of 2,500 I was one of the only openly gay males. Nowadays when I meet people younger straight people, they are surprised when they find out I'm gay because I don't "act gay". It isn't that they are bigoted, its that they seem to fetishize gay people, and have an almost overbearing support that demands I be as fervently social justice oriented as they are. Being gay around them seems to hold a special power, that whatever I say about gay rights is taken as gospel, and not as a reflection of my own unique personal experiences. I don't take advantage of that, but use this as a way to really educate them. I let them know that being gay isn't really a part of my personality, and that most of my interests would still be intact if I weren't gay. It is nice at certain times to habe people who are willing to always continue to beat the drum for you over the issues, like the Supreme Court potentially overturning protections on gay rights to marriage before the Protection of Marriage Act was passed..but at the same time I would like to be treated as a person. I don't want straight white people to feel they cannot criticise me constructively, nor do I want to be treated like an accessory or a notch on the belt of someone. I'm not here so people can treat me well in order to assuage their perceived white guilt. The bad experiences I have had in the past due to homophobic leadership are not the fault of people born after the year 2000.

I fought for the left because they told me I had to, they told me I was to blame for the color of my skin, they told me trump was Hitler 2.0 and that all the hypocrisy and double standards were okay because my side was the good side. Coincidentally during this time I suffered from depression and anxiety and self medicated along with taking pills prescribed to me. However, once things started to make sense I didn’t feel depressed or anxious like I used to, stopped using hard drugs, got off the anti-depressants and stopped seeing everything through the lens of victim/oppressor. It’s wild how once you can identify how they propagandize and brainwash you start to see it everywhere. The mind virus is truly pervasive and I pray it will be seen for the cult it is.

      It's really unsettling to see so many people speak of having their views challenged on one particular issue, and as a result of that they then disown all their other values and shift to the opposite political side, just because they think a flawed take on one issue means that they were wrong about everything. I myself have realized over the past few years that my opinions on 2 issues are now very much divergent from the Dem party line, gender identity politics/trans radicalism being one of them. I don't support medically transitioning children, Self ID, erasure of female spaces, male participation in female sports, etc. which is pretty much completely at odds with the left. However, just because my views are completely unaligned with the party line when it comes to that particular issue, does not mean that I must have been wrong on everything else and should consider a different political affiliation. I know that there are many other issues - which are equally or more important than the few I diverge on- that the left is right about, or at least has a much better take than the right.
      My point in saying this is it never has to be "all or nothing" when it comes to your political beliefs, you don't have to support a political party on every single issue. Being informed these days requires critical thinking, nuance and reading from a variety of different sources - you'll never get the full picture if you limit yourself to info from one side of the political aisle, or just mainstream media in general.

The key issue is that they are suffering murder, and it's up to good people to step up and stop it.

    I just recently came across your channel and how I didn't come across it sooner is beyond me.

    That was great. How fun to listen to someone who returned to sanity. A real success story. A hero's journey.
