If I may offer a counter-perspective: it is easier in a city to resist the conformity pressure of your social environment than it is in rural areas, because in a city, you can always escape it. if you deny this, you've never been a non-conforming individualist in a rural community. Instead, I think one major factor is the personalities of people who have tended to move to cities since urbanization got underway. The core personality trait 'Openness to experience' describes the degree to which someone seeks out new experiences, values new ideas and tends to reject others just because they're traditional. You would expect people scoring high in this trait to move to cities more easily, since they would be less stressed by a city's complexity and diversity. And it's a well known fact that it also strongly correlates with left-leaning politics. Another major factor is that political parties on the left have grown out of worker movements, and those were strong where there were factories, ie mostly in cities. These days the association is almost gone, but political leanings tend to pass to the next generation far more often than you would expect.

Diverging from established norms is in itself herd mentality.... subcultures and cliques do not exist in the countryside as they do in the cities. My own father is a farmer and his interests in this world extend no further than the love of his craft and his family. Now in the cities there no longer even exists subcultures, every individual is subsumed into a flavour of banal quasi-religious monoculture. See: the LGBT sex cults, the democrat/republican cults in America, even the cults of famous persons like Taylor Swift who is worshipped with as much fanaticism as Donald Trump is by his own worshippers. Caesarist monoculture is the future of Western cities and it will lead to the same kind of despotism that destroyed the Roman republic.

In the future, I want to grow my own little series precisely about different mentalities caused by different life situations and strategies. The question of farmers and pastoralists deserves a very good look. When you look at the map of Bronze Age civilizations, you'll notice they tend to grow in areas that have both: (1) large irrigating rivers; (2) and the threat of nomadic incursions. Essentially you need something of value and a reason to defend it.

I'm unsure as to whether diversity and social cohesion are as opposed as you paint them out to be. In my experience, a high level of conformity within a community can cause as much stress as the opposite. I think there are some baseline differences on how individuals react to nonconformity. Personally, I get a bit ansy spending too much time around the same types of people for too long, and tend to appreciate unusual people. I think that communites are a good deal more fluid than they were in the past. People seem much more open to changing their positions and beliefs to fit changing social positions.

As someone whose more or less over with most mainstream "Leftist" politics (as I've got a life to live & actually enjoy) but also despises the reactionaries who constantly do the opposite of the "Left", even if it means causing others harm in the process, I can appreciate this. As someone whose pretty individualistic (mainly due to my mildy introverted personality and autism) I H@TE modern-day cities here in the UK, besides the one I've grown up in, due to it being a massive jungle of buildings, especially London!, with me being quite thankful for living in a suburban area of the city, which I see as a balance between the hivemind of urbanism and the unorganised lifestyle of the countryside.

The issues in Africa have way less to do with diversity and much more to do with colonialism and the continued post-colonial meddling by ths greater powers. Long held grudges were often created on purpose by colonizers to pit one against another. As a former American country boy, who now lives in the city, your Ted and your analysis of "inferiority" and being the same such as not to rock the boat or cause social division described the rural life so much more than the urban one, this may not be true in the eastern block regions with lots of commieblocks and such. In the US, cities are much more about individuality than rural regions, step too far out of line and you will probably get harassed by cops til you change or leave. Never felt like I was hated or judged for being weird or different here in the city. In the rural area of the US I did feel all of those things you mentioned come from unfillable social norms. I was freed of them in the city because there were so many people I could find my own community where in the country you only have a handful of people around you with few to choose from. Leftism here in the US cities tends to swing much more toward the anarchist/mutual aid style of mindset. Mind you we were never ever subject to marxist-leninism, which is very different from marxism, even worse marxist-stalinism which made up the majority of other communist nations. I find it weird that "wokism" which became a popular term when policies brutality became exposed because a cop basically committed an execution on a black man, and this has and still continues to be the norm is in your mindset "diversity is everything". If a very strange strawman, I think you have been on twitter way too long with all its crazies. "wokism" is about dismantling and changing the systemic violence against the underclass, created by the powerful who made laws and systems specifically to create and keep an underclass, and letting everyone have the same chances as everyone else, not this weird worship of diversity you refer to. If you could I would suggest you life in more western cities, and western urban areas and see if you maintain this same view of cities. I think yours specifically is warped by the commieblocks. Not to mention that the "beauty" people of the past surrounded themselves with, was mostly the rich and powerful, who still live surrounded by beauty, just not for those who are poor and powerless. You idealize old cathedrals but there is a real reason why European leftists were so hostile to religion which is foreign to the Americas, These religious institutions were corrupt AF, many didn't see piety and humility when they looked at them, they saw greed, power and corruption. In the US, thanks to freedom of religion, no religious institution became too powerful, but we are finally cracking down on ones who did like the catholic church and many evangelicals with religious and sexual corruption caused by unchecked power. These are either downplayed in your mind in place of a more glorious past, or you are ignorant to them. I know very few people at all who worship society or the state. We are much more about being weird and creative in this city than conforming to anything.

Wokism wasn't invented in 2019. The term was used in 2016 at least, though I suspect it goes back way beyond 2005. I am an European, so I can't be sure, but I've heard things which translate very similarily in my youth. Specifically from a girl who ran a fair trade organisation I was part of. After I made the suggestion to fly in one of the actual workers for an event- admittedly partly because I was doubtful of the thing actually benefitting workers - she became furios! Flights were bad for the climate after all, even if you crammed a starved African on a plane that was flying anyway. In an unrelated conversation my friend asked what the point is of shipping in wine from South America when our European wine was better anyway. You can guess I left soon. To be continued, as I'm gonna listen to some music. So, someone once asked me if I was pissed at the group when I told the story, so I am now adding that. I'm not. This was just something that happened, perhaps on the same scale as going to the bakery. I just realized there was something off with it. Little did I know what would become of it. Years later I worked for a horrible boss (no, objectively, one week after I joined his car was smashed probably by my predecessor). He resorted to hiring foreigners because no native would work for him. So one of my coworker was asked if he was ok with women being preferred in promotion to which he said yes, absolutely, he is a good feminist after all. But his face was very ... idk even if uncomfortable is the right word, but it was certainly not like you answer a normal question. And see, here's my argument. It isn't about equal opportunities. That guy was in a shitty situation as can be. A foreigner so desperate for a job he let his boss scream at him for no reason and yet he'd give up his only way out for a woman who went to an elite university. At least that's my vibe. And I'm not saying he was there because of some tragic past, he was probably not a good student and so on. It just kind of amazes me how you join a political movement that promises you better seats and then they show you a seat that's even worse and you are like I'm fine with that. So ... but these were just anecdotes, right. Well, George F was also just an anecdote. How does one crooked cop prove that all cops are black-hating? He doesn't. I've never lived in the US so I don't think I can really comment. But these things bled over to Europe so my gut feeling tells me that is not the case. If America was as racist as they say shouldn't they be exporting racism instead of white guilt? Anyway, I don't think wall of texts do much good, so I'm just finishing here. You started with colonialists causing divides. How hard would it be to imagine that you yourself are just the pawn of a divisive puppet-master? That's what I see wokeness as. The colonialism thing btw. I've heard to exhaustion. Kind of silly when you think that the really bad wars were fought in Europe and we just "get along". Well, I guess no more.

The issue is that this hasn't been the standart for majority of human civilization. Especially European society. Be it pagan Greek and Roman society, or later Christian society. The complete freedom of speech and saying what people want, without any backlash is a very new thing and one that probably didn't make it past ideological stage, because even in America, government in past has persecuted many people for voicing their opinions (f.e. McCarthyism or anti-War protests shutdowns, pro-Civil Rights protests, anti-Civil Rights and pro-segregation protests, both which were harshly confronted by police during their hayday and much other social unrests from people who were voicing their opinions that went against majority greain during their times). Hell, in the past, people literally used to have PISTOL DUELS over insults. Literally shooting each other. Compare to that being insulted on Twitter for being "-icist" is much more prefferable. So it is UTTERLY silly to somehow equate it to moder age.

An interesting take but I think a problem one has to confront is the city is universal. The western POV I suspect has been distorted by the Roman Empire. It's easy to fall into the mindset that civilization was the exception, that it sticks around for a bit but then falls and then comes back again after a dark age so then the cycle can repeat. On a larger scale, civilization never fell, never stopped. Collapse on a global scale never happened and probably never will even if nuclear war happens. Possibly the only exception to this would be if the collapse of the pre-Columbian civilizations in the Americas was larger than thought. That being the case, the diversity issue isn't really an issue, it is a norm. It's a norm that has been part of our nature for generations that go far before recorded history.

Sorry, I know that this will devolve in an argument over semantics, but yeah, I found your concept of leftism severly bizzare and way too wishy-washy, it's this type of vague and ghostly ideology that intellectualy hunts conservatives whetever they go. That hasn't been my experience with leftists at all, or the leftism that I have been in contact with. Pretty much all of the leftists that I know would argue the exact opposite, that cities do not foster leftism at all, they foster hyper individualism. Leftism is about organizing collectively to solve systemic problems. However, in modern cities, people don't even know who their neighbors are, and people barely have any friends. This is devastating for leftist movements because leftism is dead if people don't have the ability to organize and in modern urban society, people don't have that ability at all. Everybody is just way too busy and way too entangled in their lives to join any sort of movement. If you live in a complex, try to organize a tenants union with your neighbors (this is probably one of the most leftist things you can do), you'll see how insanely difficult this is, and how most of your neighbors will reply to you with apathy, or they simply won't even give you the time of day, because they're just way to busy with their lives, some of them, who are in a part of the complex that is not that affected will even say that for them the union is not necessary because everything is working fine in their particular appartment. This type of hyper individualism kills leftism, I'm not saying it's impossible to create peoples organizations like this, but it is really freaking difficult to do it in modern cities where hyper individualism is the norm. Because of this, most leftists that I know freaking hate modern cities, they hate the fact that there are no open wakable spaces where people can organically meet, they hate how cars have taken control over everything, they hate how cities destroy the ecology, they hate that people don't have friends and don't know who their neighbors are and that most if not all of our relationships are just transactional and they hate the overall layout of modern cities because cities are just designed to optimize the production of capital, to optimize the production and consumption of commodities and that's it. You live in a box, you use the streets to get to your factory, you make money for a capitalist and then you get back to your box. The weekend comes, what are you gonna do? You go out and buy stuff and spend money to try to forget about your terrible job for a few hours and then back to the grind. Everything in a city revolves around capital and commodities and leftist loathe all of that. I'd recommend you to watch Andrewism's video 'How To Build a Solarpunk City" and also "What Our Cities Are Missing", I think those are going to give you a better perspective on what leftist actually think about cities and way they'd like to do to improve them. You'll see how you actually share critiques of modern cities, however, I'd argue that Andrewism's critiques of cities are even harsher.

I am talking about liberal urban politics as reaction to oppressiveness of cities - I think you are completely missing the point. First, I am not describing origin of "the concept of leftism in this universe". Second, I have no idea why you jump to the conclusion that I think that left likes cities. It's not that they like them (feeling of inferiority really isn't a lovely state of mind), it's just where they are. Look at the maps of population density, look at elections. There is correlation, and my whole point is to try to explain which processes are in the center of this correlation. Leftist liberalism is native to urban biome, precisely because it tries (and fails) to solve the issues at hand. Sorry, I really think you have absolutely missed the point.

We didn't miss the point. You did. You make the mistake all conservatives do in that you project what would be *your* reason for doing something onto the liberals/leftists doing it. Ie you are saying YOU would only want egalitarianism if you were part of an envious underclass...it reveals how conservatives think and how they are essentially immoral. It's quite simple. Cities lead to social liberalism because people can't help but live beside and learn other people with other religions/ethnicities/genders aren't scary and are really fundamentally the same as them. It leads to some controls on firearms because when you have hundreds of ppl living in a hive it simply isn't safe NOR if the security will be there in 2 min is it neccessary, fir ec person to be armed. The same reason it IS neccessary and safe to be armed in the rural. They are economically liberal because every society will only tolerate so much inequality and if the rich fail to let opportunity and $ trickle down either through competitive worker salaries and affordable rents OR alternatively through tax funded social opportunity programs, the many poor will kill the few rich. Which is completely natural and fair, because nobody chooses who they are born to. INHERITANCE IS ANATHEMA TO MERITOCRACY. It is actually the wealthy in cities that promote liberalism because they recognize the role of luck in who they were birn to and feel a sense of responsible for creating a great society with opportunity for all. Also the most natural societies are the most liberal. Hunter gatherers are egalitarian including women which you see nowhere in agricultural societies and only are starting to see in industrial and post industrial. ie natural humans are incredibly leftist. They share all resources among a band and other than that are essentially free individuals. They are pragmatic about role flexibility, freely leave switch bands split and rejoin. They have family planning (4-5 yrs between births per woman vs farmers is 12-18 mos.). This is becausenon industrial farmers need to breed their workers. To hunter gatherers (and later post industrialized) children are a liability and luxury. They have no hierarchy, patriarchy, property, castes or class. As a result there is no reason to control female sexuality except to limit frequency of pregnancy and paternity often matters little to not at all as everyone is treated with live and food. Work isn't labor and it can't be supervised and everyone either ger has a weapon to hunt with or is gathering fanned out in groups of 2-4. We evolved to live this way, like leftwing anarchists. And anatomically modern humans lived this way for 150,000 yrs. All conservatism stems from the farmer/shepherd mentality which began 12,000 yrs ago and came to an end about 100 or so yrs ago, though it won't fully be ended for maybe another couple hundred. The *"traditional"* nuclear family is an even smaller blip on the screen, coming into existence in early modern era, peaking with the Victorians and the 1950s were really the end. It was simply a stage between the extended family/community and individualism. It was over the second we industrialized farming. It just didn't know it yet. This is why conservatism has no future. Its neccessity is based on an outdated mode of food acquisition. Anthropologists know that it's the method of food acquisition that determines the social norms and structure of a society.

Yeah, I am most definitely NOT a conservative. As I've stated, I do not believe in the polar division of the world, as is being pushed by the US. Now, I don't think you really have a good grasp on what conservatism is either. I will give it some time in the future, but here's a rundown. There is a thing called "progress." The specific content of "progress" is always changing. Every moment in society, it is something different because something different is actually changing and progressing. Around this term, terms were created: "traditionalism" (progress is generally bad, let's keep it as before); "reactionarism" (specific progress is bad and must be reverted); "conservatism" (progress is fine, let's be careful and examine it ad hoc), "liberalism" (progress is great, let's go), "progressivism" (progress is incredible, let's make a run for it, consequences be damned), "transcendentalism" (let's get on the other side beyond everything worth progressing). You see the issue? The thing progressing - be it automation, rights, economy, whatever - is different all the time. These labels really hold value just as sort of a "rule of thumb" measure of what can be expected from one, but still, they're kinda useless due to the ever-changing nature of the content of specific progress. It's basically a term describing one's presumed reaction to what politician are currently spewing out. That being said. I am not conservative. Nor any single one of these labels.

Dviserity might be to the detriment of any specific local community, but a society of an imperial scale NEEDS to maintain unity in spite of diversity, to unite THROUGH diversity in orientation towards something which transcends the multiplicity of identitites, in order to remain at peace - and only then can diversity be a strength. And there is no way for an empire to rid itself of diversity, as even something as extreme as a completed genocide of most of it's populace would only postpone the problem - the remaining population would quickly form seperating identities and (if lacking a unifying transcendent aim) be at each others throats. The way foreword is not to try to rid society of diversity (edit: I did not mean to imply that you wanted such a thing, but rather went on a little tangent by myself), but rather to form the spiritual empire and unite people through religiosity, just as the empires of old did.

Respectfully, I feel like this video misses the fundamental influences that create left v right incentives. It is merely an arguement of egalitarianism vs hierarchy, from where we get the terms left & right during the french revolution. These things exist only where they are selected for; egalitarianism exists in systems where individuals have many options and thus reduce any individual point of leverage. In a city, this is like having 10 possible jobs rather than only 1 or 2 jobs in town. No one employer has the same leverage, as opposed to a lord/vassal relationship where you have one ruler and no option to leave. Hiercharchy only exists where leverage can be amassed in concentrations. One central group can control and direct resources. For example a rural coal town where the employer there is both politically aswell as economically powerful. Ultimately it is an enviormental question and not a political one. The enviorment selects for egalitarian political movement, it is not the political movement that shapes the enviorment. The west seems to be continuing to urbanize, and so we should expect to see the continued growth of urban liberalism via enviormental selection. Until, as they will eventually, conditions select for something else.

After the interesting analysis of Game of Thrones, this has been rather disappointing to watch, to be frank. It shows that while you have a lot of knowledge in the areas you argue for, you haven't really grasped what you are criticizing here. The main issue is, that this shift to the left in modern cities is much more complex than you set it out to be. Our economic system and the ideological hegemony of neoliberalism for example have a huge and detrimental impact in cities, more so than in rural areas. Rural, more traditional groups of society tend to be more conservate, because the community tends to be more stable but also controlling, to the point of being highly exclusive towards those perceived deviant. For those affected, moving somewhere they find acceptance or at least anonymity simply is more attractive. This is but a small component of all this though, and if we look deeper into the rural areas as well, then it becomes clearer how much of it really isn't set in stone but influenced by a multitude of cultural and historic factors. Take the peasants' war in Germany of 1524 for example, many of their demands have a clear proto-socialist touch, or leftist guerillas that are all over the countryside in Myanmar today. Secondly, you jumble a lot around in your definition of leftism, which includes at least two overarching concepts with differing roots and consequences, socialism and liberalism. But while both tend to be stronger in cities, they do so for very different reasons. The envy part then really is the weakest of the whole video, as it really is just reurgitation of a common flawed argument thrown around by the average Elon Musk fan. Leftists generally are not envious, because their analysis focuses on who actually produces the things and what (artificially placed) factors contribute to others reaping the benefits. Here, the pretty much undeniable exploitation actually becomes the source of politization, which the right tries to inflect with that argument of envy. But as workers are those actually create, just like a farmer, maintaining the argument of the rural population being connected to the land and whatnot becomes difficult when you argue at the same time that exploited workers are just envious. This answer is of course incomplete, but the issue you raised is complex and my answer already so long that probably no one's going to read it. Edit: And I haven't even gotten to the part of the essentialization of human nature, that, again fails to understand how different norms and systems immensely influence the way how humans live together...

As I've already stated, yes, the left can be of a rural kind. It is a complex phenomenon. I am focusing on a specific series of incentives and processes that influence the creation of a specific urban movement. To me, it seems that you simply would want to watch a different video, with different information and different conclusions. That's like going to see Pirates of the Caribbean and expecting to see Harry Potter. Now, the fact that the leftist intelligentsia has built a framework (misguided one) about production, etc., does not change the fact that the masses are immensely emotional and envious. The whole ideological spiel simply serves as rationalization for emotional pressure, and subsequent turmoil is an outlet, absolutely removed from the vain ideological statements.

@@MagneMirare I also focused on that urban movement, or rather these two urban movements in my comment. One of that many issues is that you try to reduce that complexity to make your point. As for the difference between the liberals and socialists you fail to grasp, I can see where it can be coming from in the American context, as some moderate socialists made amends to the two party system by cooperating with a liberal-controlled party. I get how these small detours may make you think I would like to see a video about a different topic, but it's simply a testament to how our opinion diverge even on details you're talking about in this video. The topic of the video really isn't the problem, I just think your arguments are flawed. Our worldviews equally diverge regarding your second paragraph, which arises from your failure to realize your own ideologies and try to coat them instead as just analysis of nature. Sure, ideologies are a rationalization, an explanation for the human world, but they in turn influence people to the degree that no one is free of them. In fact, ideologies are perfectly fit to play with emotions, not only envy but many more, especially fear, such as fear of social descent, the unknown, etc. From your videos it's clear that you are intelligent and knowledgeable, but I would really advise you to reflect more on your own ideological blind spots.

The reason I am specifically focused on this mixed coalition of liberalism and socialism is not because it is an American phenomenon, but because it is being exported to the rest of the world as this specific kind of mix, despite it not making much sense at first glance. In my country, socialists are many times the conservatives. That would be a completely different, but native breed. But suddenly, this specific mix of liberalism mixed with socialist ideas began to sprout out everywhere. The labels may have a different history and previous meaning, but that doesn’t change the fact of the creation of this new amalgam of a movement. I am very well aware of my ideological statements. I am not obscuring them. I am purposefully showing and molding my ideology through my positions. Of course, I do not know everything, and I am most certainly mistaken many times per day. But this isn't about blind spots. This is about purposefully deeming things irrelevant. We are different in our knowledge, lived experience, and ideology. I think that your use of the word blind spot is simply trying to impose the rules of your ideology on mine. I don't think this stands. I am aware of my biases and positions; I just think you are guessing where they are without enough evidence. In the same manner I could respond that your misunderstanding is caused by your blind spots. But then, there would be really no meaning to this whole phrase. Nonetheless, I really do appreciate this discussion, and if you’d like, we can take it to a Discord channel and continue in a more proper and focused manner. discord.gg/G7Tn6F5h

@@MagneMirare I guess this is a fair analysis, although I'd also highlight that due to the hegemony of neoliberalism in governing politics, the socialist part of the amalgamation seldom results in anything more than talk. As for the ideology, I seem to have misread your argument. If you don't deny that we're all ideological in different ways, sometimes more obviously, sometimes less, then we're on the same page here. As for your political position, I didn't really make assumptions, just that apart maybe from elements it's not liberal or socialist. About the deeming things irrelevant, I'm not so much opposed to the premise of the video per se, more that it is presented as the main, maybe only factor at play here.

I believe a better definition of leftism/rightism is talked about often by Jordan Peterson. The idea is that "leftists" are more "right-brained" people, that is, creative and revolutionary, thinking of the bigger picture in some grand systemic perspective rather than about the individual. This thought process was indeed hijacked Marx and the postmodernists, especially since the 60s in the "west", but if Nietzsche could see it coming it was clearly there beforehand. The left can be easily hijacked by 'revolutionaries', as we all know. On the other side, naturally, is the "rightists" who are "left-brained", more conservative, individualistic (analysis function in the brain for that matter) and care about order rather than creation. This thought process is historically hijacked by tribalism and fear, as opposed to the revolutions and so on. Your other video mentioned the National-Socialists as a hybrid monster, and that's true of course. It was a 'revolution' rebelling against the new-style of Europe they saw coming, on one hand they fought against communists and liberals and anyone different than them, on the other hand they fought for a revolution in Germany against the rich and the 'globalists' who were the elite. Indeed a unique monster, I wonder if any other historical example can compare. In a way I fear that the problems they fought against haven't been solved, and we might end up facing another National-Socialist party in the west in one way or another. That's because the current elite class seems to be very much the same as the ones they fought, it's a problem that creates tribalism of ethnicity/nationaly on one hand, but revolutionary instincts on the other. Tear down the elite to bring about the eternal-nation of sorts...at least it appears to be in the USA and even here in Israel, possibly in other places.

It's amazing how much of my own thoughts I found in that video. I'm in the process of planning a novel and I noticed that this is basically it. The main character, who pursues futile, materialistic goals through scheming and manipulation (of which she is both guilty and a victim), finally discovers her dignity and individuality and moves out of the city to the mountains. Because I feel like the mountains are the most awe inspiring and humbling, those masses of land towering over humans and putting up much more of a fight before being conquered than flat land. In the sequel, her son is the reverse story, dreaming of conquering those mountains since childhood. He then moves to the city and gradually becomes corrupted. But his village roots are both his curse and strength. Curse - because he doesn't know the rules of that world, and strength - because he doesn't play by them. It's still very vague and will probably change a lot but just something I wanted to share. I don't think I'll be able to publish it but I need to write it. Also, greetings from Poland.

He talks about High Modernism-- the belief that the best way to organize society is by experts using a view from above. Communist Leftism has a bad case of it, but it shows up in business, too. American European civilization is some three centuries old. There's vernacular urban architecture-- at risk from optimization, of course.

Seeing (or unleast feeling) that wealthy and powerful hurt those around you, and slowly destroy what you value, and hating them for it, is not envy. It is common sense for those who see it that way, and even if one disagrees with it, it cannot be confronted by chugging it up to envy. It must be emphasized HOW and WHY it's not true, and even if it cannot convince everyone, it will convince some (that is what classical economists have done for centuries, and it worked....if sucess of capitalism and even general liberals/unions being more neoliberal then left-wing). Oversocialization is quietionable term, and whether it even exist, for it is term invented by those anti-social, and mentally ill. It is like plant looking at animals and asking why they eat so much. Furthermore, leftists have plenty enemies that they hate. So the whole argument about hate odes not apply either. If anything this very idea contradicts the whole argument of "social cohesion", because hate doesn't go well with it. If leftism worships diversity, then right worships social cohesion, and while it is understandable, it is also incredibly naive and short sighted, because it requires someone to not voice their plights. The goal of leftism is indeed HARMONIZATION of society. However, just like Jesus did not came to bring peace, but a sword, it firsts emphasizes that people must face the certain darker or greyer parts of the society, to move forward. It's one thing to argue whether something is evil or not, but to simply ignore it for sake of "pretense social cohesion" is a compelete nonsense. In an HYPER-INDIVIDUALIST modern society, with little to no community, the idea of people introspecting and someone being at fault for something, or perpetuating something even if indirectly, is viewed as a great offense to someones ego, thus the violent reaction of anti-wokism, which often feels more personal then logical. Not saying that all anti-woke points are wrong, but many do not have logical, compassionate or rational basis, rather then are a reaction of a child, that is being told "No" to. "All Lives Matter" an empty slogan, that implies that if downthrotten complain about their own well being, they are selfish and MUST think about others, even when facing very specific adveristy. "It's ok to be white", rather then questioning where white label even came from (British politics) and whether it has much value, and whether it has brought more harm then good. "Not all X" as if you you somehow being told that you are a the terrible person, rather then comprehending, that there are many indivuduals of X who do certain bad things. "Why does race matter or why is representation important?" a question asked by those who's culture, identity, beauty and values has been celebrated, and standart for society formation for much time, and now others demand same of society in which they live in (for culture is a mirror of people onto themselves). And so on and so forth....the problem with these "leftism bad" analysis videos, go to realms of idealism and philosophy, rather analysing common sense and straight forward pragmatism.

Have you stepped foot in any smaller storefront restaurant in a city?

Because the way you describe this makes it seem like you have absolutely no understanding of the effects of mechanization on farming and livestock production.

@@MagneMirareno, actually. Codified mythologies only came into being through a priest caste that only came into being through the labor division possible in an urban society. Monuments only became possible with the concentration of many people into a comparatively small space, and a hierarchical organization that only came about by urban labor division. Your sentiment is incredibly common among anti-modern upper and middle class of industrial societies. It betrays a nostalgia for both a simpler time (childhood) and a simpler place (an utopian countryside) that are effectively utopian in nature and exist only because our modern industrialized urban society provides a contrast to it. The people who bemoan urbanism the loudest are those whose livelihood are intrinsically tied to it - the factory lords retreating into their country homes from the industrial misery they have wrought, the white collar families driven to car-centric suburbia through fear of modern urban life, the resentful rural commoner cut off from the amenities of modern life yet constantly being confronted with their presence.

Video TL;DR from what I gathered: The natural, necessary, and inevitable diversity and variance (of all kinds) across massive populations in close proximity, and the breakdown of boundaries (physical or otherwise), incentivized by the potential increases in survival and productive capacity, causes a kind of regression to a more primitive state. The communal society of the serf. Societies in high stress biomes tend to devolve into an extreme form of groupthink and xenophobia as a cope. Japan, with its plethora of natural disasters throughout history, for example, thanks to the Ring of Fire. When you have multi-ethnic societies, new lines of discrimination are drawn, usually based on ideology and patterns of thinking, which may or may not correlate with immutable traits, and allow possible paths to integration where none existed before. It's probably why the same breed of wokescolds today would be the witch hunters if they were born in medieval times. The point we miss might be that, while rationally and on paper, cities are far removed from the torments of nature, they are a different kind of high stress environment in many cases, with different pressures. Some other experiments on simpler animals like mice in the 'Mouse Utopia' experiment seem to suggest some interesting things as well. The Mouse Utopia experiment, conducted by ethologist John B. Calhoun in the 1960s, was an attempt to understand the effects of overcrowding and limited resources on social behaviour. Calhoun created a controlled environment for mice, providing an abundance of food, water, and nesting material, but limited space. Initially, the mouse population grew rapidly, but eventually, social breakdown occurred. The mice exhibited abnormal behaviours such as aggression, withdrawal, and inability to form social bonds. This experiment highlighted the negative consequences of overcrowding and resource scarcity on social dynamics, leading to discussions about the implications for human societies. The key point is that the only scarce resource was personal space/privacy. There's also the fascinating case of the 'beautiful ones' in that experiment. We can't draw one to one parallels with humans, but still, the absence of long-term thinking, ambition, and boundaries (privacy, truly private property, etc.) seems to be a recipe for social strife _even in the presence of a strong welfare state._ The melting down of identity that happens may also explain why large-scale identitarian politics of all kinds tends to come from urban centres, as opposed to the more primitive, generic, and inconsistent xenophobia of backwoods places. In the case of the former, it's insecurity, and overcompensation for the loss of true identity.
