@andrew gallovich that is not the problem in the way that its not a problem like if you shot someone and you thought they deserved it its still bad and illegal thing
exactly i mean... isnt that kind of the definition of tolerating something. like you dont like it but you let it go. thats tolerance to me. i dont like my dog barking when the door rings. or a stranger approaches, but i tolerate it for the first few seconds and tell him hes a good boy because he will let me know if there is an intruder one day if there ever is one. I dont like paying taxes but i tolerate them because i want to live in this country. i dont like the idea of gay marriage i think its biblically wrong. but i tolerate anyone who is gay and love them with the same ferver i do anyone else. because im called to love others. the person gets my love and respect their view gets my toleration until i can no longer tolerate it. like abortion i will not give tolerance to abortion. etc. etc.
@@Cbawls True, it is an opinion of a person unpaid by interest groups that PragerU is sort of famous for. Also said person doesn't claim himself to be a university. (Edit: I think this is what you mean by contrasting him as a "random person". Because this guy here is also a random person. But it's the University in the name.) Also, his videos are better sourced.
Richard S. I can agree only with the fact that prager is purely for conservatives. Calling it junk food dissapoints me. There are absolutely valid points that this person is bringing up, but i still find it to be just as opinionated as critical. I don’t believe what prager U is teaching should be devaluated, even if some facts end up being devalidated. All i seem to notice is facts being countered, but there are no substantial enough (to me, anyway) cross-examinations in the points that they’re making (of the video’s i’ve watched anyway, i cannot say ive watched all of them. I’m not an american so i mostly watch prager U for its specific insight on justice and so forth. Thats my perspective) Edit: upon more thought i see the comparison to junk food as prager U’s youtube is not an in-depth analysis but rather 5-7 minute videos. Ofcourse, then, can you bring up facts, statisticts or points that are not mentioned, specific articles or facts not recognized. But i still stand by my point. I don’t believe the message of prager’s arguments can at all be canceled.
@@Cbawls You are free to stand by your point, but you have to understand that PragerU is NOT a university. It IS a youtube channel. That's it.

The difference, though, is that the right did NOT destroy the World Trade Center and MURDER THREE THOUSAND OF OUR PEOPLE ON OUR OWN SOIL (and then go on to murder EIGHT THOUSAND MORE on the field of battle in Afghanistan and Iraq) -- the leftists did that, along with the Islamic subhumans they defend!
I agree with this vid. I was once a leftist. I despised Trump and had leftist ideas. I thought the left was good and people on the right like Trump were bad. But one day, during the Syrian “refugee” crisis, I said we should have closed borders and we should deport these “refugees” who has been causing crime. The left starting attacking me with all the worst names from the book. I’m also non-white too so once they found out I was, I was called even way worse names. These people who claim to help minorities are attacking minorities if they disagree with them. Mind you, most of these leftists are white. Long story short, I’m now a centrist many years later. Registered Republican (might change if Republicans do dumb shit like the left) and voting Trump this year. Trump 2020
Glad to have you over here on the right! I'm a newcomer, too. I changed parties during the Kavanaugh hearings. I couldn't believe the insanity shown during that debacle!
Maybe you just didn’t have any good arguments. The only arguments people ever have against allowing refugees are generic crap ‘if we do this, border mean nothing’ or either fake or out of context crime number about immigrants, and doomsday predictions about demographic changes. All of which has been disproven.

Ten years ago, your point about "all ideas" did fall within the PLURALISM even universities chased; now, pluralism is long gone, exchanged for: "I AM my ideas." This is why the leftists can no longer separate PERSON from IDEA, and don't have the requisite anthropology needed for the dignity you rightly highlight.
I mean you literally are your ideas. Your whole being is made up of your thoughts and experiences so its foolish to try to separate aspects of people into compartments you're comfortable with dealing with.
Yeah, because then you could justify the religious wars of the middle ages. Catholics and protestants killing each other when they believe in the same god, why? Because people didn't separate the religious ideals of one group with the good people believing in them. I disagree with protestant Christians but I would still marry one haha.

I'm a Mexican living in Mexico and I can confirm that all the instances of discrimination, aggressions or racism I've experienced when visiting the United States have always come from Leftie Liberals, the vast majority of whom were young rich Whites (and only when they've been in big groups, when they're alone or when they face resistance from their targets they kinda shut up, and from what I've seen they're prone to physical violence to those they disagree with but even then they only do so in big groups and they attack you and then run); Right-leaning Conservatives on the other hand have always been friendly, respectful, open to dialogue, reasonable, polite, honest and welcoming of dissent.
@Mr Offensington Yet lately, the left isn't being intolerant to the intolerant. They're being intolerant to the tolerant, because they don't understand that people who don't cater to their ideology can still be tolerant of it.
"In order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance." The paradox of tolerance is an important concept for thinking about which boundaries can or should be set.
This is the best PragerU video. (I watched all the 5 mins and many more). It contains the essence of all the others. This half minute is the creme de la creme of all PragerU messages: “In order to be genuinely tolerant of someone, you first have to disagree with them, since you don’t tolerate people you agree with. The classic definition of “tolerance” means to recognize and respect others’ beliefs and practices without sharing them. Notice the element of disagreement is key to tolerance. Without it, true tolerance is not possible. This is critical. We don’t “tolerate” people we agree with-we’re on the same side! We only tolerate people we differ with, yet still choose to treat decently and with respect.”
It's not a healthy habit for women or men. I don't want to sound like a feminist, because I'm certainly not, but it's not good for anyone to be indiscriminate of who they have sex with.
@@rheab4054 I agree. My point was that discrimination is not a dirty word in itself. For example, I believe we should discriminate against and deport illegal invaders whom we dishonestly call "immigrants." If I enter Mexico illegally or North Korea illegally, who in the world would have sympathy for me? No one! Political correctness is just a mind control device that is the enemy of honesty and common sense. All immigrants are by definition legal. If you are breaking the law of the country upon entry you are an invader, not and invited immigrant.
@Coelophysis I already explained that to another poster. I agree. It's just a cliche I was using to point out how we declare all discrimination as evil yet we all clearly practice it in one form or another and it is healthy if used in the right context. I oppose equal-mania. No one is equal to anyone else unless you are an identical twin, and even then you have different experiences. Nothing is equal. Dogs are not equal to cats. Refrigerators are not equal to washing machines. Everything is different and political correctness is a lobotomy of human intelligence.

Compassion? I prefer to ignore the people who have nothing to do with my life and so long as they don't hurt others. The second they hurt or want to hurt the rights of others is where my Tolerance turns to Rejection. Which is why I reject teaching LGBT bs in schools, that perverted Drag Queen story crap and even Pride Parades. Forcing things on anyone is where I stop Tolerating and start Rejecting.

My first reaction was: "RIGHT ON!" (pun intended), I identified with his examples portraying certain radical elements in our society.Then I listened again and said to myself,:"Something is missing, I know I'm intolerant, sometimes". After giving it some thought, I came to the conclusion that it would be worthwhile to come up with another short video (like this one), and every time we find an example of the Left showing intolerance, to point out an example of the Right, being intolerant, so as not to alienate, but reconcile us with those we strongly disagree with and who also strongly disagree with us.(or to the contrary, piss-off both sides): To present the subject with more neutrality.

The answer is simple in my opinion, no matter how sad or ridiculous peoples opinions may sound to you, they have a right to them and those opinions should be respected, they should treat you with the same dignity and if they don’t, avoid them, it’s their problem not yours
I can respect people themselves, while disagreeing with their opinion. I don't have to respect the opinion if it is garbage. I thought the video done a good job of separating the two, as it should be. Like the video says, some ideas ARE better than others, but that doesn't mean to be disrespectful to the PERSON.
The Corruption yeah that was exactly my point, people are still people at the end of the day and should be treated as such and those who don’t respect that should simply be left alone, as it’s them whose in the wrong not you, being left wing doesn’t automatically make you a bad person or vice versa
@@matthewwilson6888 Ok. I was just pointing that out because you said their opinion should be respected, which didn't seem to separate the person from the opinion. I can respectfully tell someone that I think their opinion sucks because of xyz without screaming at them, using physical violence, or trying to shut them down. To your other point; I don't think someone is a bad person just because of their political affiliation. I try to understand each person individually because everyone will never agree on the same things down a party line, either party line. I vote for whoever lines up with my core beliefs the best though, and there are certain topics that will cause me to never vote for a person, even if I agree with the other 99% of what they are all about. Some things are just deal breakers. As far as someone being a "bad person", all of us have that capacity I suppose, but it begs the question of defining a bad person.
The Corruption yes maybe I should have been more specific, but the point still stands, stopping people’s opinions is the first step towards totalitarian thinking, well always disagree on things, the point is we’ve got to all live together regardless of our views and beliefs, anyone can become a bad person you’ve just got to do you best by everyone imho

While I agree with the overall message of this video, I still feel that this video overgeneralizes the left. Is there a way to share this same message without vilifying others? I definitely believe people should defend their point of view, but this goes beyond defending; it vilifies the "left." And isn't vilifying the "left" doing the same thing to them that this video says the "left" is doing to the "right." We can defend our ideas without vilifying others. I don't want to commit the same mistake as the people who vilify me.
The missing factor in this short video is that the Tolerance Brigade has taken the leap to label word of disagreement as acts of violence. This has allowed them to justify their use of actual violence against those with whom they differ.

No, it can. Tolerance can live with intolerant ideas. Like day and night, like democrats and republicans. It’s a balance which helps to improve our world. We cannot destroy one thing for another one
@@bembbie Here is the thing: by tolerating intolerance, you become intolerant. As paradoxical as it sounds, one cannot be tolerant without vehemently opposing intolerance. The same thing applies with intolerance. In order to be intolerant, one must be intolerant of intolerance, but that would make them tolerant. Hence, the paradox. It is not a yin and yang thing. They are not equals of each other, and intolerance will always be the one opposed in favor of tolerance. This is the only logical answer simply because even while avoiding the “intolerance of intolerance” paradox, nobody can be fully intolerant without having to be intolerant of everything else, including themselves, their morals, family, and so much more. But with tolerance, you can be tolerant of everything (just not intolerance). And as for the video presenter talking about how discussion is vital to producing an elitism of ideas, intolerance is actually detrimental to that. Specifically, being intolerant of a person’s intrinsic characteristics. By being intolerant of a person for who they are (as opposed to their opinions), a discussion cannot be made with that person. Therefore, it is necessary to tolerate who someone is before a discussion can even begin. By denying the validity of a person based on features that cannot consciously be changed, it is actually the fault of the intolerant person for hindering discussion.
If someone is trying to silence you or shut you down, you're probably doing something right. If everyone you meet agrees with you, something isn't right.

Yeah the right is so tolerant of the LGBT (sarcasm intended). They are so tolerant that they want to deny them the basic freedoms that the right enjoy. You know like marriage and adoption. Even so far as to deny them a cake to celebrate their wedding or a venue to hold their wedding or reception or the ability to adopt a child if they wish. The right are no more tolerant than the left. You want to know the most tolerant group of people? Atheists. Most say you can believe whatever you want but don't try to force it on the general public. Yet they are the group least tolerated because they stand up to fight back when intolerance rears it's head.
@@lautz73 “they want to deny them the basic freedoms that the right enjoy.” The idea that all human beings deserve the same rights derives from the Judeo-Christian culture. And I say that, even though I am an agnostic atheist. Study of nature alone gives little space for compassion: “Who trusted God was love indeed And love Creation's final law Tho' Nature, red in tooth and claw With ravine, shriek'd against his creed” Alfred Lord Tennyson's In Memoriam A. H. H., 1850, Canto 56 So the left by denying Judeochristianity being part of the white culture, abolishes any justification of itself to demand human rights. The right and the center of the political spectrum acknowledge these rights even for persons that oppose them. When the people of the left speak about compassion or justice they do it because they have unconscious bias due to Judeochristianity. This bias go away each time the socialists, or their mirror brothers, the national socialists come into power. Each time they choose to target a different social or racial group. The Nazis in Germany targeted inferior (according to them) races. They said that Jews had accumulated all wealth and power which made the life of the people miserable. Today, the so called humanitarian left targets mainly white males, Christians and sometimes Asians. Leftists today, actually use the same arguments with nazis'. On the other hand, they tend to justify the muslim ideopolitical system, even if it is supported by the most hateful religion ever existed. ---------------------- “Even so far as to deny them a cake to celebrate their wedding or a venue to hold their wedding or reception or the ability to adopt a child if they wish.” First of all marriage is part of right and center culture. The left considers the marriage to be a social construct created to suppress women. For a leftist to get married is a cultural appropriation which is (according to the left) an unforgivable sin at least when white people do it. If you say that there are financial benefits in marriage there’s always the option for cohabitation contract or living together agreement. Even though, I think that the vast majority of the people (except maybe for some hardcore religious people) don’t deny gay marriage even if they don’t approve. It’s the “live and let live” which the Left finds so hard to accept. You may find it difficult to accept but even hardcore religious people have the right to live the way they want. A woman has the right to say no for an affair, from a person she doesn’t like no matter the reasons. Seemingly a pastry cook has the right to deny a task if it contradicts his/hers religious beliefs. The in love gay couple can always find another pastry cook to make their cake. I would never demand from a muslim or a vegan restaurant to cook a meal with pork. I would simply go somewhere else. In fact the left would consider me as racist or insensitive if I did so. ------------- “or the ability to adopt a child if they wish” About child adoption now. It is proven scientifically that children’s psychic health is better when they have a mom and a dad. One-parent families do exist but this is not the best for the children. So demanding the right of adoption from same sex couples is selfish and heartless. ------------ “Atheists. Most say you can believe whatever you want but don't try to force it on the general public.” As I mentioned above I am an agnostic atheist. This doesn’t mean that I have the same views with all other atheists. Atheism is just the lack of belief in a God, nothing more. Atheism cannot stand by itself as an ideology, because it is not an ideology. I completely agree with the statement about not forcing to others your beliefs. This is not what YOU support though, as I have already demonstrated. It is the left that demonizes anyone who has a different view. "If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking." George S. Patton
@@Nuthor Humans deserving the same rights isn't judeo-christian in origin. The earliest, the jews, believed themselves to be "gods chosen" and therefore place themselves above everyone else. They also approved of slavery which makes another a second class citizen. In addition they put men above women. Possibly the earliest for nearly true equality would have been the Native Americans since some had matriarchal societies. Possibly also the early Greeks or Romans with the first democracies. Nature doesn't treat anybody as equals. They have a power hierarchy, no place for equality in that. Judeo-Christianity isn't "white culture". It's multicultural. The right don't allow for equality as long as they try to deny rights to anybody that doesn't agree with them. How long was the fight for marriage equality and who was the most vocal for and against it. Some parts even want to deny atheists equal rights by saying that the Founding Fathers meant for such things to only apply to christians. Hitler espoused christian beliefs and said that he was "doing gods work" in killing the jews and the "inferior races" It seems that the left is targeting white males because that's the largest make up for the right, the older white male. I know of no policies that treat asians in this regard from either side of the political spectrum. If you would inform me of such I will gladly look them up. Nobody justifies the extreme muslim position. Moderate muslims are no more hateful than moderate christians or moderate jews. You have extremists on both the right and the left. The extreme right wants to kill the LGBT and force everybody to become christian. The extreme left wants to eliminate all religions from the planet. I'm happy to say that I don't fall on either side. I'm independent, maybe just a bit left leaning. Holy matrimony is what the right believe in. They confuse that and marriage all of the time. Some would even deny that a marriage done in front of a judge or justice of the peace is even a real marriage because it wasn't done by a preacher and didn't mention their god. It's the right, extreme cases, that view it as a means to oppress women. The left isn't about oppressing anybody To get the same results as a marriage when not married takes many legal hoops to jump through and costs more than a simple wedding. If they actually took the "live and let live" policy then why was it that it took a SCOTUS decision for SSM to become legal? Why were so many on the right opposed to it and even pass legislation to deny it in some states? Were you aware that many of the same arguments against SSM were used by the religious to try and deny interracial marriage? Not a good record for the religious right when it comes to the right to marry. The religious have to obey all of the same laws that everybody else does and if it says they can't discriminate because of sexual orientation then no matter their religious beliefs they can't discriminate because of it. If you allow exceptions for religious belief then you would have to allow christians to be discriminated against by other religions. Try that and listen to how they scream about it. "The in love gay couple could always find another pastry chef to make their cake". Just like blacks in the south could find a lunch counter that would serve them? Or like any other time people were discriminated against for being who they are? That argument didn't work then and it's shameful that it's still being used now. A muslim or vegan place doesn't even offer pork so they don't have to make it. The bakery made custom wedding cakes, it was a service that they already offered. Studies have shown that children do better in two PARENT households. That they do better in "male-female" households is unproven at best. The only "study" to ever say that was discredited do to shown biases in the way that they compiled their data. No other study has shown anything else or too limited in the available data. You claim to be an agnostic atheist (as I am) but what you have shown otherwise in your reply. I must give you credit for correctly defining what atheism is (a rarity among the right). You haven't proven that the left demonizes anybody with a different view. You have just parroted the views of the right without even looking into the truth of their claims. I am completely impartial and admit that the left isn't always correct in what they believe. To them anybody that disagrees with them or doesn't allow them to do as they wish is intolerant. Being intolerant of intolerance is what we should all be. The claim a war on christianity when they aren't allowed to do as they wish even if it contradicts the Constitution (that they claim to follow so much). They shout intolerance when they aren't allowed to put their iconography in post offices or on court house lawns while they deny other religions equal space, directly against the 1st amendment. It's seen as an endorsement of 1 religion over any other. I support your right to be wrong but that doesn't mean that i won't correct you if you are (and you are in most of your reply). You have used the same tired tropes that have been dis-proven so many times and yet are still believed by those that push them.
@@lautz73 PART 1 “Humans deserving the same rights isn't judeo-christian in origin. The earliest, the jews, believed themselves to be "gods chosen" and therefore place themselves above everyone else. They also approved of slavery which makes another a second class citizen. In addition they put men above women.” Judeo-Christianity is a term which is used to group Christianity and Judaism TOGETHER. Otherwise we would be talking of just Judaist tradition. It’s the blend of the two cultures-religions. But just have a pose here. If a non leftist says for example that african history is full of war between tribes, slave trade of other blacks (and whites and browns), rapes, and of course treatment of women as objects for trade, he will be stigmatized as racist. But it’s ok when the left does it against Europeans, I guess. ------------------------- ”Possibly the earliest for nearly true equality would have been the Native Americans since some had matriarchal societies.” Either this is true or not it’s of no importance. Humanitarianism as an idea still derives from the European culture which has it’s base in Judeo-Christianity . Native Americans have nothing to do with that. According to leftist scholars, the evil white colonialists changed the society of the natives Americans from matriarchy to patriarchy.
Nevertheless there is no hard evidence for the so called equality among native Americans. In many cases groups tended to be rather aggressive and warlike, and bands and villages outside of their allied confederacies were never safe from their raids. Even left sympathizers “scholars” cannot completely distort the truth. For example Tiffany Mulally who supports your claims admits that the gender roles were different even though she says that neither was viewed as inferior or less important than another. This is exactly the Christian point of view, which the left considers to be sexist. Here I must point out this: The left claims that a matriarchy is egalitarian compare to a patriarchy which is not. This claim alone suggests: 1. That gender differences do exist which contradicts the narrative of the left, about no gender or even sex differences apart from the sexual organs. 2. That women are superior human beings since a society under their lead is far better than a society under male lead. As Barack Obama had decraled: “If every nation on earth was run by women’ for 2 years, things would be better”. And they call the Right sexist! -------------------------- “Possibly also the early Greeks or Romans with the first democracies.” I can’t believe you mention Greek and Roman civilizations to support your claims, since the Left supports that whites have no culture. Every group of people, every nation and every race should be proud of their tradition except for the whites. Anyway Greeks and Romans set the bases of philosophy, science, medicine, etc. So they paved the way for the Christian theology which was based in great deal on greek or more accurately hellenistic way of thinking and philosophy. But the humanitarian principles introduced to roman society by Christianity didn’t exist before. “Amongst the major religions, the Judeochistian and Islamic traditions have very likely contributed most directly to the development of today’s humanitarian system. Notions to charity are central to all” ( Daniel G Maxwell, Kirsten Gelsdorf. Understanding the Humanitarian World). Your thesis that slavery was nonexistent in the Greco-Roman world or that women had equal rights is at least funny. White race was not the first to adopt slavery but it was the first to abolish it. Some African countries still have slaves. ------------------------- “Nature doesn't treat anybody as equals. They have a power hierarchy, no place for equality in that.” So you admit that without a humanitarian religion (of any kind) there is no argument to support the demand of the Left for egalitarianism. Thanks for accepting my point. ---------------------------- “Judeo-Christianity isn't "white culture". It's multicultural.” Judeo-Christianity ethics appeared for the first time in the roman empire which was predominately a white state. Even Jews had already adopted the Greek Hellenistic culture. This cultural change was so deep that they had to have their sacred texts translated to greek in order to be able to read it. It is true that even today, there are non whites, culturally appropriating Judeo-Christianity. For example in Latin America Hispanics tend to be Catholics, as that was the religion of their Spanish ancestors. In U.S. many ex slaves were converted to Christianity. This doesn’t mean that Judeo-Christianity has African roots. If that was true then we could say that samba is not a Latin dance, or cappuccino is not an Italian coffee. Btw I have no problem if non whites adopt white culture. Christianity after all is a religion for every human being no matter the colour of his/her skin. This absurdity also is part of the Left. For example they say that eating Chinese food is cultural appropriation but avoiding Chinese restaurants due to the corona virus is also racist. -------------------------- “The right don't allow for equality as long as they try to deny rights to anybody that doesn't agree with them.” You mean like the attacks on people wearing maga hats? It’s the leftists who shout at , punch, humiliate and shut the mouth of people like MRA Janice Fiamengo, the feminists Christina Hoff Sommers and Camille Paglia, the black anti Islamist Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the asian gay journalist Andy gno, and of course the straight white male thinker, Jordan Peterson and even the gay professional provocateur Milos Giannopoulos. Anyone who the left disagrees with is labeled as a Nazi. And of course it’s Ok to punch a Nazi (according to the Left). --------------------------- “How long was the fight for marriage equality and who was the most vocal for and against it.” I’m not exactly sure of what you mean here. But it is the left who considers marriage as a social construct, a product of the patriarchy. --------------------------- “Some parts even want to deny atheists equal rights by saying that the Founding Fathers meant for such things to only apply to Christians.” How many are they 0.5%? Also, if they don’t punch you and hit you as the leftists do, they have the right to believe whatever they believe. ------------------ “Hitler espoused christian beliefs and said that he was "doing gods work" in killing the jews and the "inferior races"” This is not true and you know it. Nazis practices were not part of the Christian teaching. Hitler wanted to establish a new religion based on the old Teutonic gods. ------------------- “It seems that the left is targeting white males because that's the largest make up for the right, the older white male.” As I’ve demonstrated the leftists attack anyone who disagrees with them no matter their race or gender. But they don’t stop there. They adopt the Nazis idea of collective responsibility: “ I don’t like right or center ideas. Most white males like these ideas. So I will attack and abuse white males indiscriminately”. Nice! -------------------
In George Orwell's "1984" "War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength." We thought it was a Movie, but little did we know it was a 'Playbook' and a Glimpse into our actual Future. But now,,, "It is our Job to FIX IT." With Videos Like This. peace
@@willevans3644 Indeed. Orwell literally fought against fascists in Spain. This isn't an argument against "the left". This is an argument at the fascists trying to divide us.
I agree that people should treat each other with respect regardless of their views. It would have been beneficial for him to also cite the definition of the word respect (from Oxford Languages 'respect - due regard for the feelings, wishes, or rights of others') because the irony of this video is that he forgot to mention that that logic by default cannot apply to a viewpoint that in itself does not respect another person. That's like truly believing there should be no violence in the world, then punching someone in the face and being butthurt when they punch you back. We can have different viewpoints let's say on how to handle the economy, education etc., we can disagree on what we think would be the best solution in those matters and just agree to disagree without making it personal, no problem. Now let's look at a viewpoint such as: members of the LGBT do not deserve the same rights as heteronormative people. According to the video members of the the LGBT community should disagree with the viewpoint and still respect the person, right? Now read definition of respect and then the viewpoint again. The speaker disrepects the people who he then expects respect from, the speaker just disregarded his own logic. You cannot say to someone 'I don't believe you deserve the same rights as I do, we're not equal' and pretend you respect them, literally by definition you don't. Calling a statement like that homophobic (and if you look up the definition of homophobia it undoubtedly is) isn't intolerance to a viewpoint, it's stating fact, the same as saying the sky is blue. Now before everyone explodes I would like to highlight that the example I just used is very clear homophobia. However I disagree with people looking for racial, homophobic etc. narratives where there aren't any. There's no doubt there are people out there who almost want to get offended by everything and that's not right. If someone personally feels something someone said could be disrespecting somebody else it's good to have a conversation and speak openly about it, not immediately label people as racists etc., because more often than not the speaker had no ill intent. I guess the conclusion is that we should all respect each other as equals and be ok with people having different views than us. Following that thought, that doesn't mean you should expect tolerance to hate speech which as I explained earlier contradicts the very logic this video was trying to display. It doesn't have to be one extreme or the other. It doesn't have to be 'all conservatives are bigots and I choose to be offended by everything they say' and on the other hand 'I should be allowed to deny you basic human rights and have a problem when you call me the definition of what I am'. To receive respect you must also give respect and that works both ways.
the left's intolerance towards sexism, racism, ... is intolerance towards intolerance, hence defence of true tolerance (everyone being equal, regardless of gender or race). prageru seems to be rather intolerant towards the left's intolerance towards a lack of what they define as true tolerance (ie equality). as they put it, some ideas are good, others are bad, and the ones of this video belong to the latter category.
Just started reading Greg Koukl’s book called Tactics. Really good book on defending Christian ideas/faith with the use of clever respectful questions.
Then I guess that raises a bigger question. "Should we tolerate the intolerant ?" For example REAL hate groups that go out of their way to spread division and hate... Should we tolerate that?
Videos like this are why Prager U is important. I don't agree with every video they make, but the ones where they get things right, they REALLY nail down.
I really want to show this to my “tolerant” co-workers. However I would get fired for “hate speech”. At least my job is paying me to sit on my ass for 3 weeks.
@The Feedback Shack I second the notion. Once you tender a resignation they can't fire you unless you are violating some policy. A 'hate speech' allegation would be easy to turn into a lawsuit. Bottom line - don't let moral cowards make you into one of them.
A lot of intolerance comes from the Right. Some of the views of the right have outcomes that go from disrespectful to an individual (marriage equality) to dangerous (not allowing full gender reassignment). I agree that it is possible to have debates on these issues, but being respectful to others includes not creating laws that are against being disrespectful to another.
@@Octovisuals could you elaborate on that? A little confused on how so much of the internet is set to “own the sjws” and yet this ‘truth’ is somehow ‘lost’
@@LukasPrimeEdition I meant all the truth in the world, manipulated and twisted by the radical socialists, as they always do. I don't give a damn about Social Justice Warriors - they're just people with interests (that is, paid or else) or just very ignorant people in general. I'm tired of arguing with radical socialists believing logic will prevail. No data, facts, evidence... will ever help them see reality. It's just no use.
Anyone can believe what they want, so long as that belief isn't bringing harm to anyone. I think it's harmful to believe that all people on the left-wing will attack you personally. People on the RADICAL left do that, true, but there is a thing called the SENSIBLE left. By saying that you disagree with anything to do with the left-wing will get you personally attacked, you are actually shaming everyone who identifies as left-wing, including those who'd do no such thing. That's a bit intolerant, don't you think?
@Reagan Van Beek Yeah, there are toxic people out there (Trust me, I've been on the receiving end). There is a small portion of people on the middle-ground, and even on the right-wing who do this as well. I think we should stop labeling them as "leftists", and label them as "knobheads".
That's not true. The right is VERY tolerant even of things they disagree with. We may hate some behaviors, but not the person displaying the behaviors. As for the left, they hate everything and everyone they disagree with. They want to completely destroy people and things they don't. Like trying to get people fired. Death threats. Doxing. Using violence and destruction. Lying. And my personal favorite, blaming others for things the left did. Don't be an ill informed sheep. Be an informed free thinker. You will be so much happier. ❤👍
I started home educating my children because my daughter had surgery on her eyes and would have been labeled “learning disabled”. She learned to read in first grade using a ruler to underline each sentence to keep them straight. By the end of first grade, she was reading at a 3rd grade level and I thought it pointless to put her in a public school (could not afford a private school). I used A Beka, Bob Jones, Sing, Spell Read and Write and Christian Liberty Academy as resources and was part of a very large home education group in New Jersey. I had my children take the Iowa Test every other year and they excelled. My children went to a public school for their 11th and 12th year of high school by their choice so they could “be in the mission field”. They learned nothing from regular classes and took dual unit college courses. Home educating was one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever been through. My kids learned how to read, write, do “real math”, real history and had real thinking skills. Both of my children were in a master’s fencing class and my daughter competed in the Junior Olympics in 2007. If you wish to know more, please request a “friend” on FB. I go by Victoria Dawn Burton. I will be happy to visit you about it through messaging. Have. Blessed day.

Sadly this video has a skewed worldview that does not coincide with actual politics. Maybe if PragerU was more honest about their intentions, one could recommend them more easily.
@@KantiDono I do accept people with different opinions. I don't tolerate people to try to persuade large audiences for their selfish causes. Mischaracterizing the Left is an obvious regressive tool that is used by the populist right. If this video spoke the truth, surely these statements should apply to me as well, shouldn't they? The left isn't one big oppressive group. It is individuals all with different ideas which share ideals of unity and progressivism.
@@altaccount7200 No video can perfectly describe the situation for literally 100% of people. It's just not possible, and an unreasonable standard to hold anyone to. Let me give an example: Is it a mischaracterization to say 'Asians are short'? It's a stereotype, absolutely, but on average, it's true. There are very few Asian basketball players. But there are some tall Asians too. Does the existence of one tall Asian disprove the statement? No, because on average, it's still true. No group is ever one monolithic, identical blob. Every group is composed of individuals with different ideals and characteristics, but that doesn't mean we can't talk about things that many of those individuals have in common. They aren't mischaracterizing the left at all. They might be mischaracterizing you as an individual, but they are not mischaracterizing the reality of the big picture. Tolerance means seeing things from many different viewpoints, and understanding that people see things in different ways. I can watch videos from a variety of sources because I don't get offended when someone accuses 'the left' _or_ 'the right' because my identity is not tied to either of those groups. Rather than defending 'your tribe', we should all try to make the world a better, happier place for everyone. That's what Unity really means.
@@KantiDono Except that these generalizing arguments aren't at all true for most leftists. But ok, let's agree to disagree. The issue isn't the left or the right. It's an attack against progressive views because some individuals in that progressive group want to suppress other peoples voices. Something which not only the left is doing but also the right. If you do not want to associate with either tribe, that is fine. But unlike tribes, there is an inherent ideological difference between progressives and regressives. It paints a completely different picture targeted at a broad range of apolitical people, trying to recruit those to their traditionalist cause.
Even in the early days of the Civil Rights movement, did Dr. King ever, and I mean EVER say anything personally against segregationists? Not to my knowledge.

@@Cbawls True, it is an opinion of a person unpaid by interest groups that PragerU is sort of famous for. Also said person doesn't claim himself to be a university. (Edit: I think this is what you mean by contrasting him as a "random person". Because this guy here is also a random person. But it's the University in the name.) Also, his videos are better sourced.
Richard S. I can agree only with the fact that prager is purely for conservatives. Calling it junk food dissapoints me. There are absolutely valid points that this person is bringing up, but i still find it to be just as opinionated as critical. I don’t believe what prager U is teaching should be devaluated, even if some facts end up being devalidated.
All i seem to notice is facts being countered, but there are no substantial enough (to me, anyway) cross-examinations in the points that they’re making (of the video’s i’ve watched anyway, i cannot say ive watched all of them. I’m not an american so i mostly watch prager U for its specific insight on justice and so forth. Thats my perspective)
Edit: upon more thought i see the comparison to junk food as prager U’s youtube is not an in-depth analysis but rather 5-7 minute videos. Ofcourse, then, can you bring up facts, statisticts or points that are not mentioned, specific articles or facts not recognized. But i still stand by my point. I don’t believe the message of prager’s arguments can at all be canceled.
@@Cbawls You are free to stand by your point, but you have to understand that PragerU is NOT a university. It IS a youtube channel. That's it. I don't know, maybe you know that, but you used the word "teaching". It's a youtube channel with expensive graphics.

I agree with this vid. I was once a leftist. I despised Trump and had leftist ideas. I thought the left was good and people on the right like Trump were bad. But one day, during the Syrian “refugee” crisis, I said we should have closed borders and we should deport these “refugees” who has been causing crime. The left starting attacking me with all the worst names from the book. I’m also non-white too so once they found out I was, I was called even way worse names.

This is the best PragerU video. (I watched all the 5 mins and many more). It contains the essence of all the others. This half minute is the creme de la creme of all PragerU messages: “In order to be genuinely tolerant of someone, you first have to disagree with them, since you don’t tolerate people you agree with. The classic definition of “tolerance” means to recognize and respect others’ beliefs and practices without sharing them. Notice the element of disagreement is key to tolerance. Without it, true tolerance is not possible. This is critical. We don’t “tolerate” people we agree with-we’re on the same side! We only tolerate people we differ with, yet still choose to treat decently and with respect.”

Political correctness is just a mind control device that is the enemy of honesty and common sense. All immigrants are by definition legal.

True Tolerance is not misplaced compassion. True tolerance is simply being civil with someone you disagree with.

The answer is simple in my opinion, no matter how sad or ridiculous peoples opinions may sound to you, they have a right to them and those opinions should be respected, they should treat you with the same dignity and if they don’t, avoid them, it’s their problem not yours
I can respect people themselves, while disagreeing with their opinion. I don't have to respect the opinion if it is garbage.

@@matthewwilson6888 Ok. I was just pointing that out because you said their opinion should be respected, which didn't seem to separate the person from the opinion. I can respectfully tell someone that I think their opinion sucks because of xyz without screaming at them, using physical violence, or trying to shut them down. To your other point; I don't think someone is a bad person just because of their political affiliation. I try to understand each person individually because everyone will never agree on the same things down a party line, either party line. I vote for whoever lines up with my core beliefs the best though, and there are certain topics that will cause me to never vote for a person, even if I agree with the other 99% of what they are all about. Some things are just deal breakers. As far as someone being a "bad person", all of us have that capacity I suppose, but it begs the question of defining a bad person.
The Corruption yes maybe I should have been more specific, but the point still stands, stopping people’s opinions is the first step towards totalitarian thinking, well always disagree on things, the point is we’ve got to all live together regardless of our views and beliefs, anyone can become a bad person you’ve just got to do you best by everyone imho

While I agree with the overall message of this video, I still feel that this video overgeneralizes the left. Is there a way to share this same message without vilifying others? I definitely believe people should defend their point of view, but this goes beyond defending; it vilifies the "left." And isn't vilifying the "left" doing the same thing to them that this video says the "left" is doing to the "right." We can defend our ideas without vilifying others. I don't want to commit the same mistake as the people who vilify me.
The missing factor in this short video is that the Tolerance Brigade has taken the leap to label word of disagreement as acts of violence. This has allowed them to justify their use of actual violence against those with whom they differ.

No, it can. Tolerance can live with intolerant ideas. Like day and night, like democrats and republicans. It’s a balance which helps to improve our world. We cannot destroy one thing for another one
@@bembbie Here is the thing: by tolerating intolerance, you become intolerant. As paradoxical as it sounds, one cannot be tolerant without vehemently opposing intolerance. The same thing applies with intolerance. In order to be intolerant, one must be intolerant of intolerance, but that would make them tolerant. Hence, the paradox.
It is not a yin and yang thing. They are not equals of each other, and intolerance will always be the one opposed in favor of tolerance. This is the only logical answer simply because even while avoiding the “intolerance of intolerance” paradox, nobody can be fully intolerant without having to be intolerant of everything else, including themselves, their morals, family, and so much more. But with tolerance, you can be tolerant of everything (just not intolerance).
And as for the video presenter talking about how discussion is vital to producing an elitism of ideas, intolerance is actually detrimental to that. Specifically, being intolerant of a person’s intrinsic characteristics. By being intolerant of a person for who they are (as opposed to their opinions), a discussion cannot be made with that person. Therefore, it is necessary to tolerate who someone is before a discussion can even begin. By denying the validity of a person based on features that cannot consciously be changed, it is actually the fault of the intolerant person for hindering discussion.

“War is peace / freedom is slavery [and] ignorance is strength.” Now we can add tolerance is intolerance.
Yeah the right is so tolerant of the LGBT (sarcasm intended). They are so tolerant that they want to deny them the basic freedoms that the right enjoy. You know like marriage and adoption. Even so far as to deny them a cake to celebrate their wedding or a venue to hold their wedding or reception or the ability to adopt a child if they wish. The right are no more tolerant than the left. You want to know the most tolerant group of people? Atheists. Most say you can believe whatever you want but don't try to force it on the general public. Yet they are the group least tolerated because they stand up to fight back when intolerance rears it's head.
@@lautz73
“they want to deny them the basic freedoms that the right enjoy.”
The idea that all human beings deserve the same rights derives from the Judeo-Christian culture. And I say that, even though I am an agnostic atheist. Study of nature alone gives little space for compassion:
“Who trusted God was love indeed
And love Creation's final law
Tho' Nature, red in tooth and claw
With ravine, shriek'd against his creed”
Alfred Lord Tennyson's In Memoriam A. H. H., 1850, Canto 56
So the left by denying Judeochristianity being part of the white culture, abolishes any justification of itself to demand human rights.
The right and the center of the political spectrum acknowledge these rights even for persons that oppose them. When the people of the left speak about compassion or justice they do it because they have unconscious bias due to Judeochristianity. This bias go away each time the socialists, or their mirror brothers, the national socialists come into power. Each time they choose to target a different social or racial group. The Nazis in Germany targeted inferior (according to them) races. They said that Jews had accumulated all wealth and power which made the life of the people miserable.
Today, the so called humanitarian left targets mainly white males, Christians and sometimes Asians. Leftists today, actually use the same arguments with nazis'.
On the other hand, they tend to justify the muslim ideopolitical system, even if it is supported by the most hateful religion ever existed.
----------------------
“Even so far as to deny them a cake to celebrate their wedding or a venue to hold their wedding or reception or the ability to adopt a child if they wish.”
First of all marriage is part of right and center culture. The left considers the marriage to be a social construct created to suppress women. For a leftist to get married is a cultural appropriation which is (according to the left) an unforgivable sin at least when white people do it. If you say that there are financial benefits in marriage there’s always the option for cohabitation contract or living together agreement. Even though, I think that the vast majority of the people (except maybe for some hardcore religious people) don’t deny gay marriage even if they don’t approve. It’s the “live and let live” which the Left finds so hard to accept.
You may find it difficult to accept but even hardcore religious people have the right to live the way they want. A woman has the right to say no for an affair, from a person she doesn’t like no matter the reasons. Seemingly a pastry cook has the right to deny a task if it contradicts his/hers religious beliefs. The in love gay couple can always find another pastry cook to make their cake. I would never demand from a muslim or a vegan restaurant to cook a meal with pork. I would simply go somewhere else. In fact the left would consider me as racist or insensitive if I did so.
-------------
“or the ability to adopt a child if they wish”
About child adoption now.
It is proven scientifically that children’s psychic health is better when they have a mom and a dad. One-parent families do exist but this is not the best for the children. So demanding the right of adoption from same sex couples is selfish and heartless.
------------
“Atheists. Most say you can believe whatever you want but don't try to force it on the general public.”
As I mentioned above I am an agnostic atheist. This doesn’t mean that I have the same views with all other atheists. Atheism is just the lack of belief in a God, nothing more. Atheism cannot stand by itself as an ideology, because it is not an ideology.
I completely agree with the statement about not forcing to others your beliefs. This is not what YOU support though, as I have already demonstrated. It is the left that demonizes anyone who has a different view.
"If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking."

@@Nuthor Humans deserving the same rights isn't judeo-christian in origin. The earliest, the jews, believed themselves to be "gods chosen" and therefore place themselves above everyone else. They also approved of slavery which makes another a second class citizen. In addition they put men above women. Possibly the earliest for nearly true equality would have been the Native Americans since some had matriarchal societies. Possibly also the early Greeks or Romans with the first democracies. Nature doesn't treat anybody as equals. They have a power hierarchy, no place for equality in that.
Judeo-Christianity isn't "white culture". It's multicultural.
The right don't allow for equality as long as they try to deny rights to anybody that doesn't agree with them. How long was the fight for marriage equality and who was the most vocal for and against it. Some parts even want to deny atheists equal rights by saying that the Founding Fathers meant for such things to only apply to christians. Hitler espoused christian beliefs and said that he was "doing gods work" in killing the jews and the "inferior races"
It seems that the left is targeting white males because that's the largest make up for the right, the older white male. I know of no policies that treat asians in this regard from either side of the political spectrum. If you would inform me of such I will gladly look them up.
Nobody justifies the extreme muslim position. Moderate muslims are no more hateful than moderate christians or moderate jews. You have extremists on both the right and the left. The extreme right wants to kill the LGBT and force everybody to become christian. The extreme left wants to eliminate all religions from the planet. I'm happy to say that I don't fall on either side. I'm independent, maybe just a bit left leaning.
Holy matrimony is what the right believe in. They confuse that and marriage all of the time. Some would even deny that a marriage done in front of a judge or justice of the peace is even a real marriage because it wasn't done by a preacher and didn't mention their god. It's the right, extreme cases, that view it as a means to oppress women. The left isn't about oppressing anybody To get the same results as a marriage when not married takes many legal hoops to jump through and costs more than a simple wedding. If they actually took the "live and let live" policy then why was it that it took a SCOTUS decision for SSM to become legal? Why were so many on the right opposed to it and even pass legislation to deny it in some states? Were you aware that many of the same arguments against SSM were used by the religious to try and deny interracial marriage? Not a good record for the religious right when it comes to the right to marry.
The religious have to obey all of the same laws that everybody else does and if it says they can't discriminate because of sexual orientation then no matter their religious beliefs they can't discriminate because of it. If you allow exceptions for religious belief then you would have to allow christians to be discriminated against by other religions. Try that and listen to how they scream about it. "The in love gay couple could always find another pastry chef to make their cake". Just like blacks in the south could find a lunch counter that would serve them? Or like any other time people were discriminated against for being who they are? That argument didn't work then and it's shameful that it's still being used now. A muslim or vegan place doesn't even offer pork so they don't have to make it. The bakery made custom wedding cakes, it was a service that they already offered.
Studies have shown that children do better in two PARENT households. That they do better in "male-female" households is unproven at best. The only "study" to ever say that was discredited do to shown biases in the way that they compiled their data. No other study has shown anything else or too limited in the available data.
You claim to be an agnostic atheist (as I am) but what you have shown otherwise in your reply. I must give you credit for correctly defining what atheism is (a rarity among the right). You haven't proven that the left demonizes anybody with a different view. You have just parroted the views of the right without even looking into the truth of their claims. I am completely impartial and admit that the left isn't always correct in what they believe. To them anybody that disagrees with them or doesn't allow them to do as they wish is intolerant. Being intolerant of intolerance is what we should all be. The claim a war on christianity when they aren't allowed to do as they wish even if it contradicts the Constitution (that they claim to follow so much). They shout intolerance when they aren't allowed to put their iconography in post offices or on court house lawns while they deny other religions equal space, directly against the 1st amendment. It's seen as an endorsement of 1 religion over any other. I support your right to be wrong but that doesn't mean that i won't correct you if you are (and you are in most of your reply). You have used the same tired tropes that have been dis-proven so many times and yet are still believed by those that push them.
lautz73 Finally, a logical person in the comments section
@@lautz73 PART 1
“Humans deserving the same rights isn't judeo-christian in origin. The earliest, the jews, believed themselves to be "gods chosen" and therefore place themselves above everyone else. They also approved of slavery which makes another a second class citizen. In addition they put men above women.”
Judeo-Christianity is a term which is used to group Christianity and Judaism TOGETHER. Otherwise we would be talking of just Judaist tradition. It’s the blend of the two cultures-religions.
But just have a pose here. If a non leftist says for example that african history is full of war between tribes, slave trade of other blacks (and whites and browns), rapes, and of course treatment of women as objects for trade, he will be stigmatized as racist. But it’s ok when the left does it against Europeans, I guess.
-------------------------
”Possibly the earliest for nearly true equality would have been the Native Americans since some had matriarchal societies.”
Either this is true or not it’s of no importance. Humanitarianism as an idea still derives from the European culture which has it’s base in
Judeo-Christianity . Native Americans have nothing to do with that. According to leftist scholars, the evil white colonialists changed the society of the natives Americans from matriarchy to patriarchy.
Nevertheless there is no hard evidence for the so called equality among native Americans. In many cases groups tended to be rather aggressive and warlike, and bands and villages outside of their allied confederacies were never safe from their raids.
Even left sympathizers “scholars” cannot completely distort the truth. For example Tiffany Mulally who supports your claims admits that the gender roles were different even though she says that neither was viewed as inferior or less important than another. This is exactly the Christian point of view, which the left considers to be sexist.
Here I must point out this:
The left claims that a matriarchy is egalitarian compare to a patriarchy which is not. This claim alone suggests:
1. That gender differences do exist which contradicts the narrative of the left, about no gender or even sex differences apart from the sexual organs.
2. That women are superior human beings since a society under their lead is far better than a society under male lead. As Barack Obama had decraled: “If every nation on earth was run by women’ for 2 years, things would be better”. And they call the Right sexist!
--------------------------
“Possibly also the early Greeks or Romans with the first democracies.”
I can’t believe you mention Greek and Roman civilizations to support your claims, since the Left supports that whites have no culture. Every group of people, every nation and every race should be proud of their tradition except for the whites.
Anyway Greeks and Romans set the bases of philosophy, science, medicine, etc. So they paved the way for the Christian theology which was based in great deal on greek or more accurately hellenistic way of thinking and philosophy. But the humanitarian principles introduced to roman society by Christianity didn’t exist before. “Amongst the major religions, the Judeochistian and Islamic traditions have very likely contributed most directly to the development of today’s humanitarian system. Notions to charity are central to all” ( Daniel G Maxwell, Kirsten Gelsdorf. Understanding the Humanitarian World). Your thesis that slavery was nonexistent in the Greco-Roman world or that women had equal rights is at least funny. White race was not the first to adopt slavery but it was the first to abolish it. Some African countries still have slaves.
-------------------------
“Nature doesn't treat anybody as equals. They have a power hierarchy, no place for equality in that.”
So you admit that without a humanitarian religion (of any kind) there is no argument to support the demand of the Left for egalitarianism. Thanks for accepting my point.
----------------------------
“Judeo-Christianity isn't "white culture". It's multicultural.”
Judeo-Christianity ethics appeared for the first time in the roman empire which was predominately a white state. Even Jews had already adopted the Greek Hellenistic culture. This cultural change was so deep that they had to have their sacred texts translated to greek in order to be able to read it.
It is true that even today, there are non whites, culturally appropriating Judeo-Christianity. For example in Latin America Hispanics tend to be Catholics, as that was the religion of their Spanish ancestors. In U.S. many ex slaves were converted to Christianity. This doesn’t mean that Judeo-Christianity has African roots. If that was true then we could say that samba is not a Latin dance, or cappuccino is not an Italian coffee. Btw I have no problem if non whites adopt white culture. Christianity after all is a religion for every human being no matter the colour of his/her skin.
This absurdity also is part of the Left. For example they say that eating Chinese food is cultural appropriation but avoiding Chinese restaurants due to the corona virus is also racist.
--------------------------
“The right don't allow for equality as long as they try to deny rights to anybody that doesn't agree with them.”
You mean like the attacks on people wearing maga hats? It’s the leftists who shout at , punch, humiliate and shut the mouth of people like MRA Janice Fiamengo, the feminists Christina Hoff Sommers and Camille Paglia, the black anti Islamist Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the asian gay journalist Andy gno, and of course the straight white male thinker, Jordan Peterson and even the gay professional provocateur Milos Giannopoulos.
Anyone who the left disagrees with is labeled as a Nazi. And of course it’s Ok to punch a Nazi (according to the Left).
---------------------------
“How long was the fight for marriage equality and who was the most vocal for and against it.”
I’m not exactly sure of what you mean here. But it is the left who considers marriage as a social construct, a product of the patriarchy.
---------------------------
“Some parts even want to deny atheists equal rights by saying that the Founding Fathers meant for such things to only apply to Christians.”
How many are they 0.5%? Also, if they don’t punch you and hit you as the leftists do, they have the right to believe whatever they believe.
------------------
“Hitler espoused christian beliefs and said that he was "doing gods work" in killing the jews and the "inferior races"”
This is not true and you know it. Nazis practices were not part of the Christian teaching. Hitler wanted to establish a new religion based on the old Teutonic gods.
-------------------
“It seems that the left is targeting white males because that's the largest make up for the right, the older white male.”
As I’ve demonstrated the leftists attack anyone who disagrees with them no matter their race or gender.
But they don’t stop there. They adopt the Nazis idea of collective responsibility:
“ I don’t like right or center ideas. Most white males like these ideas. So I will attack and abuse white males indiscriminately”. Nice!

Fascism was eliminated in 1945 -- there's no longer any such thing!
I agree that people should treat each other with respect regardless of their views. It would have been beneficial for him to also cite the definition of the word respect (from Oxford Languages 'respect - due regard for the feelings, wishes, or rights of others') because the irony of this video is that he forgot to mention that that logic by default cannot apply to a viewpoint that in itself does not respect another person. That's like truly believing there should be no violence in the world, then punching someone in the face and being butthurt when they punch you back. We can have different viewpoints let's say on how to handle the economy, education etc., we can disagree on what we think would be the best solution in those matters and just agree to disagree without making it personal, no problem. Now let's look at a viewpoint such as: members of the LGBT do not deserve the same rights as heteronormative people. According to the video members of the the LGBT community should disagree with the viewpoint and still respect the person, right? Now read definition of respect and then the viewpoint again. The speaker disrepects the people who he then expects respect from, the speaker just disregarded his own logic. You cannot say to someone 'I don't believe you deserve the same rights as I do, we're not equal' and pretend you respect them, literally by definition you don't. Calling a statement like that homophobic (and if you look up the definition of homophobia it undoubtedly is) isn't intolerance to a viewpoint, it's stating fact, the same as saying the sky is blue. Now before everyone explodes I would like to highlight that the example I just used is very clear homophobia. However I disagree with people looking for racial, homophobic etc. narratives where there aren't any. There's no doubt there are people out there who almost want to get offended by everything and that's not right. If someone personally feels something someone said could be disrespecting somebody else it's good to have a conversation and speak openly about it, not immediately label people as racists etc., because more often than not the speaker had no ill intent. I guess the conclusion is that we should all respect each other as equals and be ok with people having different views than us. Following that thought, that doesn't mean you should expect tolerance to hate speech which as I explained earlier contradicts the very logic this video was trying to display. It doesn't have to be one extreme or the other. It doesn't have to be 'all conservatives are bigots and I choose to be offended by everything they say' and on the other hand 'I should be allowed to deny you basic human rights and have a problem when you call me the definition of what I am'. To receive respect you must also give respect and that works both ways.
Do you guys not know the paradox of tolerance, that tolerating the intolerant only leads to the loss of tolerant people and tolerance as a convept
the left's intolerance towards sexism, racism, ... is intolerance towards intolerance, hence defence of true tolerance (everyone being equal, regardless of gender or race).
prageru seems to be rather intolerant towards the left's intolerance towards a lack of what they define as true tolerance (ie equality).
as they put it, some ideas are good, others are bad, and the ones of this video belong to the latter category.
I like it when big words and colors flash across the screen, telling me what to think.
Just started reading Greg Koukl’s book called Tactics. Really good book on defending Christian ideas/faith with the use of clever respectful questions.
Then I guess that raises a bigger question. "Should we tolerate the intolerant ?" For example REAL hate groups that go out of their way to spread division and hate... Should we tolerate that?
Videos like this are why Prager U is important. I don't agree with every video they make, but the ones where they get things right, they REALLY nail down.

“long lost truth” lmao
@@LukasPrimeEdition Yes. Truth is punished severely. By people like you.
@@Octovisuals could you elaborate on that? A little confused on how so much of the internet is set to “own the sjws” and yet this ‘truth’ is somehow ‘lost’
@@LukasPrimeEdition I meant all the truth in the world, manipulated and twisted by the radical socialists, as they always do.
I don't give a damn about Social Justice Warriors - they're just people with interests (that is, paid or else) or just very ignorant people in general.
I'm tired of arguing with radical socialists believing logic will prevail. No data, facts, evidence... will ever help them see reality. It's just no use.
Civility until there's a disagreement. #walkaway people.
What i'd like to hear from this guy is good definition of what and who is "the left". Are they perhaps just people with whom he disagrees with? :D
Markku Hänninen most likely
Redefining 'tolerance' - the pinnacle of cognitive dissonance in postmodern thought.
“Listen, the payoff is clarity” beautiful!
I love that, very well put. "Treat all people with dignity and respect, treat ideas as some are better than others."
Anyone can believe what they want, so long as that belief isn't bringing harm to anyone.
I think it's harmful to believe that all people on the left-wing will attack you personally. People on the RADICAL left do that, true, but there is a thing called the SENSIBLE left. By saying that you disagree with anything to do with the left-wing will get you personally attacked, you are actually shaming everyone who identifies as left-wing, including those who'd do no such thing. That's a bit intolerant, don't you think?
@Reagan Van Beek Yeah, there are toxic people out there (Trust me, I've been on the receiving end). There is a small portion of people on the middle-ground, and even on the right-wing who do this as well. I think we should stop labeling them as "leftists", and label them as "knobheads".
@@abhainnxv I agree.
y'all ain't heard of the tolerance paradox lmao
But the right doesn't treat people that they disagree with civily...
That's not true. The right is VERY tolerant even of things they disagree with. We may hate some behaviors, but not the person displaying the behaviors. As for the left, they hate everything and everyone they disagree with. They want to completely destroy people and things they don't. Like trying to get people fired. Death threats. Doxing. Using violence and destruction. Lying. And my personal favorite, blaming others for things the left did. Don't be an ill informed sheep. Be an informed free thinker. You will be so much happier. ❤👍
I started home educating my children because my daughter had surgery on her eyes and would have been labeled “learning disabled”. She learned to read in first grade using a ruler to underline each sentence to keep them straight. By the end of first grade, she was reading at a 3rd grade level and I thought it pointless to put her in a public school (could not afford a private school). I used A Beka, Bob Jones, Sing, Spell Read and Write and Christian Liberty Academy as resources and was part of a very large home education group in New Jersey. I had my children take the Iowa Test every other year and they excelled. My children went to a public school for their 11th and 12th year of high school by their choice so they could “be in the mission field”. They learned nothing from regular classes and took dual unit college courses. Home educating was one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever been through. My kids learned how to read, write, do “real math”, real history and had real thinking skills. Both of my children were in a master’s fencing class and my daughter competed in the Junior Olympics in 2007. If you wish to know more, please request a “friend” on

I am SO supportive of your channel, as a "moderate" in a heavily liberal area (Seattle). I need conservative support in a time with coronavirus. It would mean so much to me to support the social isolation directive to prevent the spread of this disease. I want everyone to be intolerate of uncleanliness. Please clean, please donate blood, please encourage people to band together, because isolating yourself is so, so hard mentally. Pray for us.
No Leftist ever:

This is an excellent video. It's just a shame that most of the people who need to watch it will be too intolerant to even give it a chance.
Sadly this video has a skewed worldview that does not coincide with actual politics. Maybe if PragerU was more honest about their intentions, one could recommend them more easily.
@@altaccount7200 Are you not tolerant of people with different opinions and intentions from your own?
@@KantiDono I do accept people with different opinions. I don't tolerate people to try to persuade large audiences for their selfish causes. Mischaracterizing the Left is an obvious regressive tool that is used by the populist right.
If this video spoke the truth, surely these statements should apply to me as well, shouldn't they? The left isn't one big oppressive group. It is individuals all with different ideas which share ideals of unity and progressivism.
@@altaccount7200 No video can perfectly describe the situation for literally 100% of people. It's just not possible, and an unreasonable standard to hold anyone to.
Let me give an example: Is it a mischaracterization to say 'Asians are short'? It's a stereotype, absolutely, but on average, it's true. There are very few Asian basketball players. But there are some tall Asians too. Does the existence of one tall Asian disprove the statement? No, because on average, it's still true. No group is ever one monolithic, identical blob. Every group is composed of individuals with different ideals and characteristics, but that doesn't mean we can't talk about things that many of those individuals have in common.
They aren't mischaracterizing the left at all. They might be mischaracterizing you as an individual, but they are not mischaracterizing the reality of the big picture. Tolerance means seeing things from many different viewpoints, and understanding that people see things in different ways. I can watch videos from a variety of sources because I don't get offended when someone accuses 'the left' _or_ 'the right' because my identity is not tied to either of those groups. Rather than defending 'your tribe', we should all try to make the world a better, happier place for everyone. That's what Unity really means.
@@KantiDono Except that these generalizing arguments aren't at all true for most leftists.
But ok, let's agree to disagree.
The issue isn't the left or the right. It's an attack against progressive views because some individuals in that progressive group want to suppress other peoples voices. Something which not only the left is doing but also the right. If you do not want to associate with either tribe, that is fine. But unlike tribes, there is an inherent ideological difference between progressives and regressives.
It paints a completely different picture targeted at a broad range of apolitical people, trying to recruit those to their traditionalist cause.
Even in the early days of the Civil Rights movement, did Dr. King ever, and I mean EVER say anything personally against segregationists? Not to my knowledge.
He was a leftist and has been smeared for it
@@Reedskiii Tell that to Prageru.
@@charlesrankin1190 they're a propaganda machine

“Tolerance and apathy are the virtues of a dying civilization” - Aristotle
Tolerance is about allowing people to think different than you and still treating them respectfully and kindly. Excellent video!
the left mistook '1984' for an instruction manual.
Orwell was a leftist lmao
@@artirony410 he was one of the good leftists. if you disagreed with him, he would accept it. he wouldnt come in and call for you to be silenced.
@@rabbitdrink I don't know, he seemed to want to silence people who disagreed with him when he volunteered to help kill fascists in the Spanish Civil War
Excellent comment!
@@chrisbarcy1972 yeah its funny to me that we're under more surveillance than people in the USSR were and yet people think we're free

One of your best videos ever! A perfect summation of true tolerance.
This is probably the best video you've ever made
When you attack someone's sexual orientation, it is no longer an issue of tolerating ideas. Why do you feel with the faculty of dictating whatever someone does with their own body if it doesn't harm anyone else?
This video reminds me, there’s a similar action being taken by the atheist community in which altering the definition of a word just to fit their ideology is considered acceptable by that same community.
Yes, I just pulled religion into this video.
Look at how Dawkins tries to redefine the word “nothing” to fit his ideology. Even though he still pretends to be bewildered when the audience laughs at his attempts to redefine the word “nothing,” normal, average thinking people can’t be brainwashed.

bruh this is genuinely really upsetting. i'd never seen boomers like this firsthand but here i am
"Tolerance is not measure by how we treat those with whom we agree but by how we treat those with whom we disagree."
Wonderful video! I hope to see more from Greg Koukl on Prager U! He’s an excellent communicator.

This is depressing because it's scarily accurate.
But the Democrats say tolerance is hating white, straight, male, or Christian people.
Sauce on that.
Except they don’t hate them. They just want to make sure everyone has the same opportunities. If you think someone thinking minorities deserve the same rights is against white people you need help
@@shr9662 they do have the same rights, they have for a long time. What these morons want is to put themselves in a position of superiority. As well as to pretend that qualifications dont matter.
evilco I never said rights. I said opportunities. If you are born white you are typically going to a better school and can get into a better college. You also have a higher chance of finishing high school and you often have parents who know people who can help you get a job or further advance. It’s statistics.
@@shr9662 that's a result of culture. All they have to do is stop encouraging the gangbanger mentally. Save or invest money instead of wasting it of expensive pointless sneakers, and tell the kids to study instead of telling them they're about to be a rapper or sports star. They set themselves up for failure, and want to blame others.
Dennis Prager recommends treating nazis w civilty and respect. Got it.
Sometimes people on the right also try to shut down the people they don't agree with. Everybody needs to work on this skill of tolerance.
I like how South Park took on the paradox of tolerance by creating "The Death Camp Of Tolerance."
