Well, this is not an easy thing to fix, probably impossible, Jordan Peterson say that maybe religion could help (I'm paraphrasing, maybe i'm interpreting it wrong) bc he said that people should be more conscious and that is not going to happen, but honestly trusting a religion in my opinion is not good either, maybe for some people is good but to me is not even close to be an acceptable solution

I am center-right, forced by common sense to see the lies spoon fed to me over the years. But in the end, I've always been taught that right is right and wrong is wrong. I have a friend who's way more right-leaning than I am, and he went on a whole rant about taking guns away from the left, as well as their children, due to their beliefs. I instantly called him out on this, saying that you can't truly believe in the rights you say you do if you can so easily take those rights away from others. I'm far from perfect though, so I'm glad there are those out there, no matter if I agree with them or not, that can and will remind me to stay humble, question everything, and to not become the monster I want to fight.

And if you really think on it, a lot of "right-wingers" are just left wingers who claim to be right wingers. The Amish are as much as true right wingers could be. Freedom is earned, not given, and most of these "conserveratives" and "center right" people are grifters who pretend just to be cool. Defending your morals from evil and practicing good traditions to pass on your kin is right wing. Wanting to chuck people out of the Pinochet mobile and entertaining the idea of "soaking the tree of liberty in the blood of lefties" is *not*. That's pure evil, and not what right-wing ideals subscribe to. Being evil unto evil is a massive sin.

@@johnnycrown5097 that used to be the right. Now it’s still the …. Someone. I don’t know if the somewhat artificial incision of the American public in halves still even fits the labels. I am sure the incision is deeper than ever. But what the actual disagreements are seem wayyy overstated. That’s the fault of people being gullible then exploited by the sides profiting from it. For example if there’s a police shooting, firstly no one trusts the process to say leave it to the courts and jury because they get the whole story and the institutions have mostly earned this disrespect. Second when you see people debating you’d think these near violently opposed people don’t agree on basics. Like even the most blue line person doesn’t really believe police should go around murdering people. Even the most abolishing police people don’t want police getting convicted of murder when they’re just defending themselves at their jobs. Obviously a population of loons on both sides do believe those things in some form, but it’s small. A larger population will bend their views more than they should, so police self defense magically can happen from a handcuffed suspect, or police murder can somehow happen even if facing an armed suspect. So we’re fucked is pretty much what I’m saying

Hello Just Some Guy, Your points are fare and honest, I do not fully agree with all of it but it is understandable to see the line of logic you followed and for that I thank you. I am a constitutional conservative, and was not to keen at finding out people where banning books in Texas. I do not beleive it to be right to limit someone elses speech. I also do not hate those who are my political opposites. I hope that others are in my same boat in that regaurd. I do not think the left sympathies with bad people, I do feel those in positions of power might be, but the masses are not. I am certain the right can do better to remove the shaft from the grain as it where. The main thing I disagree with you is the nature of man that being one of hatred and anger. I believe people are good for the most part. We dont think to much when it comes to emotional responses. That is what leeds most people to act the way they do. We are brash and quick to act on our emotional core. Only after an act is done or if time is given before an action dose emotion take a side seat to thinking something through. Yes people want to react if they are felt wronged, the same if they where filled with overwhelming joy. If people stopped every once and awhile, and did not jump on to the emotional train as it where cooler heads would win the day (I hope). Maybe I am wrong, maybe its something a bit muddier I will say I thank you for your content and being consistent through and through. If you read this I wish you nothing but the best, and a Happy Thanksgiving.

In cases where books aimed at children depict phonography then under the laws already in place the should be removed. My comcern comes with whats happening in Texas is once you open the door to sensor books that same door can be used to swimg back on you and bust your nose. We all know this but act like one side will never loose power. I would rather have parents more involved with raising their kids and working with schools, or have a voucher system so parents can send their kids to schools that teach their values.

@@MrSophire yes, there might be some people who dislike Catholicism without understanding it. I respect devout Catholics and understand why they wouldn't believe certain things are happening in their place of worship. But, the leadership hierarchy is corrupt to the point where priests found to have committed egregious crimes against children (usually boys) have in several instances been transferred to a new position far away with all the same privileges and reputation they had before they were outed. If the churches were independent (not lead by or directly connected to any other organization), and if the ones abusing their position were dealt with appropriately I would not have a word to say about this. But I must criticize the institution. The people in it, the ones learning and growing from what they perceive as God's word, have my respect. But not the Church. Thank you for your time, meant no disrespect to you or your upbringing. Christianity was never supposed to become a worldwide, or even (as Constantine founded it) a nationwide organization. On the local level it does a lot of good, usually. I really just wanted to explain why some folks have a good reason for disliking Catholicism. The fact that it has so many good traits is why hardly anyone in it can believe or look into anything negative. And it can be so devastating a revelation for those who find out that they keep it hidden for whatever reason (consideration for victim/family, shock, disgust, despair, and even the idea that it's better to try to protect the reputation of the church to maintain its positive effect, rather than address and fix the problem but risk a loss of trust in the community). No one is perfect, no organization is without its parasites, corruption is within the human heart and it will go wherever we go. Getting stuck in this realization is called nihilism. I am not stuck. I think it can be made better. I believe corruption can be addressed. But if Catholics can't see any problems, how are they going to fix them? I am not Catholic, so all I can do is try to coax them into evaluating criticism a bit more objectively. People with bad intentions hide among whatever groups that have the most trust; denying that (hiding it) is what led to the bad reputation.

My point is, many people will from an opinion without doing the research. for example the church sexual abuse thing should be and deservedly so be called out, but many people only see that despite it being a small percentage (using this word loosely any amount is to much in my book ) when compare to Hollywood and the American school system who move pedo teachers around. They found similar issues in other churches and religions. As I said it should be called out. If we are going to hate something it should because the hatred is for something that it really is. For example, if you hate John because you think he killed someone without reason but he never killed anyone then your hatred is based on a lie. if he did murder some one then (still wrong) it is base on truth

@@MrSophire yes I understand that point. That's why I started with what it is from a positive perspective. I then explained why the negative view of it has validity. Just like every other institution or religion, if there's something to criticize then we should criticize. And if the criticism is denied or ignored, negativity (in perspective and in real life corruption) festers and grows. The individual not knowing everything about an organization is not an excuse for that organization to ignore that individual's criticism. I know what the Catholic church is: from studying history and from generations of family experience. But even if I didn't, even if all I had was the rumors, if the rumors were correct then dismissing my opinion would be incorrect. I understand many facets of this. And I understand the desire to be understood. the small percentage of the bad things happening are indeed *part* of "what the Catholic church really is". If John is a murderer but also a community philanthropist, would you say that it's only a small percent of his time spent in murder, and he is mostly a good person? I don't accept any version of this for any person or organization. Heard of Jimmy Saville? Beloved by a generation for philanthropy and positivity; also a pedophile, r*pist, and murderer. The BBC kept it secret because of all the positive things he did. The scum deserved the ultimate punishment; instead he lived a life of praise and luxury. Kinda like the upper management of a certain Rome based religion. You may have misunderstood, but you can always reread my comments. I believe I have a balanced and objective view. I'm not going to retract the negative in favor of the positive. All of it is important.

"To believe in an ideal is to be willing to betray it." Kreia This is why I usually look for conflicting information before taking a stance on anything. Blindly believing in one side leads to worship, which is something I can not stand. Letting another person think for you, is something I am always confused about. Republicans and Democrats pretty much are playing a game of tag when it comes to who can be the bigger asshole. In some ways they almost seem to be in a contest to out do the other in their terrible ways. This book sounds like something I would like to read. Though I do disagree with some of the quotes about hating a person. But I am curious if it goes into apathy.

Right, I do agree with you. Just for me it is hard to get a fair, and balanced point of view from media on the other side of the fence. I get my news from conservative media, but I'm not a Republican and I realize a good chunk of the party are filled with shitty people. Thus, I do try to question anything outrageous that is being pushed. For example, those on the right who are pushing for censorship of dangerous ideas/speech need to knock it off. If it is dangerous, offer a rational, logical viewpoint on why that is, but make no attempts to silence it.

However, never does he show clips of right-wing media (if there is such a thing) engaging in the hate-fueled propaganda he describes. A part of me would like to see right-wingers calling the Woke pedos like the Woke call them nazis, stand in the middle as a self-righteous centrist snowflake. However, the truth seems that it's just the Woke, over and over again, asserting their power like the authoritarians they are and defending criminals like the revolutionairies they are. They're not pedos, nor they even like pedos, they just love subversion of any law that isn't theirs.

Some people develop the false idea that 'being fair means calling out everyone the same'. This is only true in a larger sense: being fair means calling out everyone WHO IS GUILTY in PROPORTION to their guilt. Yes, it's absurd to claim that Leftists only supported Rittenhouse's attackers because one of them was a pedophile. Anyone who says that deserves a rebuke. On the other hand, it is wholly accurate to say that Leftists supported Rittenhouse's attackers because they were physically present at a declared 'Black Lives Matter' event, even though the event literally involved burning town a town and committing countless crimes and damage. To Leftists, the one entirely excuses the other. To rational human beings, this is MONSTROUS.

11:36 Being a southerner I have to kinda step up and correct this line: "It is of interest that the backward South shows more xenophobia than the rest of the country." Eric Hoffer is from New York, which not only in my opinion but in my actual experience is by far waaaay more racist and segregationist than "the South". Much of the North is and always has been. After the Civil War, the North was not held to the same demands as the South was as far as the treatment of black people. So they were allowed to segregate where the South had to DE segregate. The winner writes the history, you know? I mean here in GA we don't have stop and frisk, but New York does. People can feel free to argue this as much as they want but I can tell you, as a child of asian/white heritage traveling north to visit relatives and being raised here in the literal heart of the south, I personally could not understand why black people lived in separate communities to the Asians, Italians, etc. And no one could explain it, only shying away from my questions. Where here, it's more a matter of rural vs suburbia. It's also not new to have northerners scapegoat us while basking in their own prejudices. They just pull the annoying what us? Prejudice? We're the north. Nah folks, you just know how to deflect and hide your demons haha Okay I'll give it to you though, Alabama is kinda backward haha ;)

I find it troubling seeing you frame this situation as anything other than one sided, though. Kyle literally didn't do anything wrong. Maybe there was an argument otherwise before the court case, but after the case? Oh hell no, EVERY argument people were trying to make against him was completely and utterly dismantled. He didn't cross borders because he lived on a border town. Possession of the firearm was not illegal even with his age and he lived in a castle state meaning he was in full rights to defend himself. The incident started on family owned property. He surrendered himself to the police, he was the one that went seeking help. He was there providing active medical aid and, from all witness accounts, he was actively helping even the rioters. The people he shot down never should have been aggressing on him to begin with, it was utterly clearcut self defense, and he exhibited superb trigger discipline. Two of the people he shot were utter scum of the earth in the most legitimate sense; literally talking about a serial child abuser/rapist and another guy who had a similar record of going from family to family. One had a gun and aimed it at Kyle FIRST but not before telling Kyle earlier in the night that he would find and kill him. Another dude was literally already beating him over the head with a skateboard. Like, Kyle literally did nothing wrong. On top of all of this, he did jail time and has PTSD now. And, I gotta stress this, assuming Kyle had even done anything wrong to begin with, why the fuck are people making arguments against "vigilantism" in defense of rioters who were literally committing arson and lighting fire to the town, looting, endangering the lives of others, etc? This was ridiculously one sided. This is not a Left Vs. Right ordeal. This is a common sense argument and HAD Kyle lost, which was a possibility given you had woke mobs actively trying to dox and threaten the jurers and their families, it would have set an awful precedent. The only real reason he could have lost was if the mob sufficiently scared the judge and jury into submission, at which point we'd effectively he living under mob rule. This isn't a topic with practically any middle ground to it. I don't care what pretentious sophistry people try to insert, you were either someone who "Got it" or someone who didn't.

Note: I wrote this before watching the full video, and I just wanna say while I agree that it's shitty we're being turned against each other, I still dislike your framing of this topic because it feels more like you're attempting to put the right and left on the same pedestal in this situation. Like, hold up and stop for a moment and THINK: Does the Left's knowledge of the fact that they're defending a child rapist negate the fact that they are, in fact, defending a child rapist? No. Sure, they're being manipulated; that isn't a revelation, that's been said for actual decades now. The problem is their willingness to buy into any narrative spoon fed to them. They don't stop and think for a moment "Hold on, why are these people claiming I support a pedo"? They instead immediately go on the defensive because their entire mission is to have the moral highground. The right does this too, but that DOES NOT MEAN they are equally as wrong in every given situation. The right is definitely in the morally justified position here to level criticism at leftists for blindly accepting mainstream news and their narrative for this situation. I said this on the prior video, but I am libertarian. I don't say any of this like I side with the right all the time. I say this as someone who can't stand when diehard centrists try to put everyone in the same basket while, ironically, treating themselves as the eternally enlightened ones.

The whole time I'm listening to this, I keep thinking about the video you made about how it is good to gatekeep. With that, I agree, because gatekeeping can be good or bad depending on how it is done and for what ends. This is a very simple lesson to be learned about ideas: they are neither good or evil. Intentions are good or evil. An idea should be judged by its merits. I bring this up because a lot of ideas that you demonize here (intolerance, censorship, humbleness, tribalism, hatred) also need to be considered based on how they're used. It is very naive to sit back and say "See, both parties will do these things, therefore they're both bad!" It is called the fallacy of grey. You're reducing each party down to its collection of nuts, holding them all collectively responsible for those nuts, and considering no further details on the matter aside from the existence of nuts. That is the biggest problem I have with the book True Believers (or at least the sections you're quoting): it fails the self-referential test. In its attempt to break down and demonizing essentially every movement for reductivism and spreading animosity, it itself is reductive and spreads animosity. The launching point that you're picking for this isn't some kind of complicated matter, either. It is the Rittenhouse trial, which is the clearest case of self-defense I've ever seen. The lies, the destruction, it isn't evenly spread out among the two major parties. There's a clear villain here, and that is the mainstream media.

As an outsider, I have a different perspective on Rittenhouse. I agree the trial may have proved self defense. But trials aren't always justice are they? I knew before a word had been spoken in the trial the kid was getting off. That was before the Judge refused to allow in video evidence that proved motive. The kid travelled armed with premeditated intent. Riled up by sections of your right wing media leading him to believe he was 'right'. Now you have a precedent where any kid can arm, toddle off, place himself in a similar situation & bingo. I just hope it all turns out well. It's not a left/right thing & will give other kids ideas.

@@tkps O.K. apparently JSG doesn't allow any comments with links, so I'll have to write this one without them. This is a fine example of why I say the mainstream media is the enemy: Not a single thing you wrote here is true. You've certainly been told that by mainstream media, but if you paid attention to the trial instead of simply reading their spin, you'd know they were lying to you. #1: The video the judge disallowed didn't prove motive. It was guilt by association. The prosecution was trying to tar Kyle's character because he took pictures with some Proud Boys after the event in question, and the Proud Boys have a similarly nefarious (and false) reputation. It was disallowed because it was prejudicial and ultimately irrelevant. The truth is we have plenty of videos and testimonies that proved Kyle's motives that were allowed in court, because they weren't guilt by association. #2: The kid didn't travel armed. This is the "across state lines" lie. He was given a gun at this arrival location, where he was legally allowed to possess and operate it. This is a lie, because the media is trying to paint state-determined gun ownership as immoral, and one of the myths that they perpetuate is the traveling guns issue. #3: Kyle didn't really travel, either. He lived right next to the state's border, and crossed over countless times because his job (and likewise, friends) were in the other state. This is a lie, because the media is trying to paint Kyle as a chaos tourist that goes out of his way specifically to cause problems, when the reality is that the events happened within the neighborhood of his friends and his job. #4: Premeditated intent is also a lie. It is also vague enough to mean anything, since anything that isn't accidental is "premeditated." There's two ways that his is a lie: first is the assumption all attempts at arming oneself is just a cover for murder (AKA the Binger defense), which is flat out disingenuous. It is like saying that wearing seatbelts is a cover for intentionally crashing your car into things. The second way this is a lie is the assumption that Kyle should have no motive for being in and around the riots, except for ill intent. It has been shown demonstrably through videos and witness testimony that Kyle was there to help people out. Aside from that, we have freedom of movement in the U.S. #5: Kyle has demonstrated no extremist views, and there is absolutely no evidence that he was riled up by right-wing media. We know this because he surrendered his phone and all information on it to the police. This is, again, a lie by the media because they're owned by Frankfurt school communists and thus believe anything that isn't socialism is a right-wing view. #6: Believing he was "right" is utterly nonsensical. There is no way that a belief that someone is right (which is held by literally everybody on the planet) is somehow evil. Regardless, this is again a lie because the media doesn't believe in inalienable rights. They believe in special rights, gained by tribal affiliation (see: "politically black"). #7: This is not a precedent. Self Defense has been legal in the U..S. since inception, and has been in English Common Law since the 1600s. There are countless cases of the courts ruling in the defendants favor via self-defense, even running concurrently with the Rittenhouse Trial. It is so common that there are companies here that sell self-defense insurance. The media is lying about this because they're trying to scare you into watching mainstream media more. #8: This will not somehow create an epidemic of teenagers arming themselves so they can legally kill people in self defense. We know this because, again, self defense has been legal for hundreds of years, and it hasn't happened yet. Regardless, being a chaos tourist in theory does not rescind the right to self-defense. Every person in this nation is free to arm themselves, travel to non-private property, and defend themselves with lethal force. #9: This is very clearly a left/right issue. You have accusations against the right in your comment, so you yourself are internally contradictory. Aside from this, the protests in front of the courthouse during the trial were very clearly partisan by their own admission.

I'm gonna be honest, this really is the first time I really disagree. We, humans, are not like this. This isn't the status quo, this is the effect of years and years of one sided fear mongering, muck raking and hate stirring. Let me preface, I'm neither left, nor right, especially not by today's standards, I see the problems in the right wing as surely as I see the problems in the left, but I also remember how this all began. As soon as the orange man announced he was running for office, it was like a switch flipped in the minds of the modern left. They went full berserk, everyone and everything was done to attack and demean the right. And the right, self righteous though they may have been, refused to bend to it. When that guy declared he was gonna hunt down and murder orange supporters and their families, the right said "damn, let's not sink to that level" when those kids kidnapped and tortured that other kid for supporting orange, the right went "dang, they're pretty awful, make sure we don't sink to their level" on and on, the left continued dragging us down deeper and deeper into the hateful pit we now live in. The right eventually ended up doing much the same as the left, this is true, but it wasn't until after years of left wing violence and hatred going completely unchecked by their own. I'm sick of people like you trying to act like both sides are to blame, they aren't. We are where we are not because this is the natural state of humankind, but because the left didn't apply themselves to the same standards they demanded of everyone else.

For the first time with JSG I felt my gourd rise with this and the last video, gone is the charm, the humor and the balance. All I hear is anger, lecturing and a description of a general position for the Right for which I have no personal experience, not Right myself either. I have not read or heard ANYONE suggest the 'Misled Left' is quote: " ... supporting the people Kyle shot BECAUSE they were criminals ... and specifically supporting Joseph Rosenbaum BECAUSE he's was a child ***ist " Again note: I am not privy to all 'Right Wing' as I mentioned but I have personally never seen or heard such things said. I have heard people point out that it is kind of sickening to hear the people shot that evening described by the woke/left/Hollywood as victims, more so "Heroes", and other stuff down that vein, but nothing of the kind you suggest. I am not on twitter so perhaps I am missing a small but vocal Right wing 'backlash', small as in the 'real' size of Twitter's representation of humanity. JSG you need to be more specific, show examples I know its not your general form but the accusation feels hollow atm. Perhaps you ought to remember you're own admonishments about bubbles and twitter before brandishing such widespread general accusations without any evidence, tons of Hoffer though. If what you say is being said or written by 'the Right', I have had no cause to doubt you from past content nor from my understanding of Right wing Ideologues, then I would agree with you. ... I don't know something here feels outta sync with my personal limited observation. I am in a weird world where I have found myself siding with the 'Right' for some time, despite for most of my life weighting my political apex left of center for a majority of topics. It used to gall me that Americans used to declare I felt erroneously 'Liberals' as Communists, when in Europe Liberal described Social Democrats that have left of center leanings. You know what? There is too much to unpick here, in text, which no one will likely read. So basically I am disturbed; I wonder; my instinct is alarmed, JSG I am not wholly with you on this one without seeing some comprehensive evidence, some weight, something to justify such general accusations of "The RIght". As Jordan Peterson might sort of say 'We KNOW the limits on the right. We have detailed, catalogued and preserved in stone the horrors and excess when the pendulum swings too far Right. Yet Why do so many still not see the limits when the Left goes beyond Common humanity despite a Century of Evidence; the same Century and same weight of evidence as mapped by the Excesses of the Right. Here I as with 'common parlance' and any lingering chance brevity, ascribe Nation Socialism to the Right for the sake of this arguement, whatever Political and Philosophical differences there are between it and Fascism. Personally I didn't need the lecture about Nazism and the oh so long quotes from Hoffman, insightful as there are, but perhaps its not meant for me. I was educated pre-woke, pre-millenium, i am 60 btw. Got to stop writing ... no one will read it. Sigh !! I am unable to get enough nuance, so little said, and no time to qualify, yet too much text already!!

I had the same issue with this one. I was hearing general statements about the Right that I haven't personally seen on the Right in this case. The topic itself is worthy, but the specific example here is so lopsided that it does damage to his overall argument. If you are going to try to address blind loyalty to a "side" and its relationship to hatred, then you need an actual example case that properly illustrates that. There is nothing equivalently egregious, in this case, to the mainstream leftwing take on this event.

I read it. I'm 59 so right behind you. What's I'm not though is American. So have trouble understanding the 'right' there. It resembles nothing right in any other country that I'm aware of. E.G. Christianity looms so large and has become so completely mixed into the politics of the right it is hard to separate them now. I have deliberately not listened to the Rittenhouse stuff from either side. No one was a hero and no one deserves to be handed rough justice pedo or otherwise. That's what courts are for. I don't get either side's take on that subject so will leave it alone. I do believe extremes on both sides are damaging the country and I don't know if it's not too late to fix it. Some do seem to enjoy hating each other & media and social media actively encourage it.

I'm not going to abandon them just because it might make me part of a "side" that X number of disreputable people are also on. I'm not guilty by association. Their sins aren't my own.

That is, it seems more effective to viciously and maliciously attack whatever the dominate power structure is until it changes and then keep attacking the new one. If hate is such a core fundamental then maybe it should be harnessed in a more raw state to keep people accountable. Because this philosophy doesn't seem to be helping anyone anymore.

"The road to Hell is paved with good intentions," that's the phrase I like to use. The way I see humanity is complex and bitter-sweet, but I think of us as animals cursed with the ability to understand the consequences of our actions. And as someone who has struggled particularly with the darkest side of the human being, I understand very well our proclivity toward hatred. However, the best antidote I've been able to find is simply this: accept your suffering. Like Christ on the cross, accept that life will metaphorically nail you to a plank of wood and leave you out to die; and despite all that, despite all you're made to go through, you spit the face of life and be a good person anyway. When you see suffering in others, you try to make it better--or at least not make it worse--and you carry yourself as humbly as possible. It's like facing up to a bully: the best thing you can do is get right back up again after he kicks you down. There's no grand-scale revolution, no sweeping change to fix up every individual; it's just you trying to make yourself the best person you can be, and trying to make things a little better wherever you go. Imagine if everyone in the world did that.

Man, i get that you're trying to stick to the middle road and i can respect that, but every day that middle path is getting smaller. The tensions between the right and the left have been rising for at least the past 20 years, but it really exploded when Trump got elected. Every single day since then it's felt like things have been escalating to a very specific point, and every single day i feel like we're closer to an actual war. Kyle and that crazy dude who drove through the Christmas parade are just the most recent examples of all this coming to a head and it's only going to get worse. So, let me ask you a question. A very serious question, and you've replied to some of my comments before so maybe you'll see this one too. If it comes down to a real war, and there is no more middle path, which side would you choose? It's a simple question but also a very hard question. If this happens, and it's choose a side or die, which would you pick? If it does ever hit that point neither side will stop until the other side has been completely eradicated. They both also share that "if you're not with us, you're against us" mentality, so the undecided aren't going to be spared.

The right. I'd rather stick with the evil I already know. And as a Jewish person, I really don't appreciate the left's fasictic ideals and disdain of Israel and the jewish people. Last time a leftist authoritarian movement with facistic ideals got into power my people were slaughtered.

@@matanshapira10 That's true, and a very excellent point. Israel is a much better ally than France ever was. Better weapons, better fighters, a more self-sufficient economy and infrastructure, and the archangel Michael. Really hard to beat friends like that.

Sir, you are playing the tired old game of moral equivalence.

This why I watch you. You speak on the wrongs and good of both sides without being biased. Honestly politics suck, more this day and age. Politics is like watching a kindergarten tv show. its so infantilize and so self centered to find an enemy that is comedical. the only thing politics is good for is to trick people.

While he's trying to stay in the middle, JSG is missing the mark a little with the Right, just because one senator wants to ban books doesn't mean the rest of them do, nor does the Right think the Left are supporting Kyle's assailants because of their criminal record; (If that is the case I have yet to see it) For the most part though he's spot on.

@@Rinesmyth Based on my moral ground and Religon my ideology leans more right than left but I like to be center or non denominational at all. We have seen that when both the right and the left gain to much power the ultimate goal is destruction. The balance of both ideologies or of more, is needed in a society to prosper .

@@moisesinfantes2797 You nailed it man. Like you, I lean more toward the right (central right) but I feel that there needs to be balance of power. However, I feel that in this video, JSG missed the fact that the balance of power is shifted toward the left. They control so much more than the right does (which is a fact, not an opinion). So saying that both do equal damage is incorrect because it ignores statistical facts and trends. If one commits a "crime" 10 times and another commits the same "crime" 2 times, then it's objective to say that the former is worse than the latter at that given time (even though both have committed crimes).

@Game Gallows Some truth there. But even then, when riots and arson by civilians get involved, then that makes it more serious then just a "game".

Great video and fantastic references. Because of this video, I decided to pick up a copy of the book and I look forward to reading it.
