To be fair both sides complain about anime the left wouldn't shut up about Berserk or Shield Hero just a couple years ago.
Yep, the left doesn't like the fact that Japan isn't woke and has attractive females and the right are still mentally stunted by McCarthyism and high on American "Exceptionalism" to believe or like anything foreign...unless it's a middle eastern religion worshiping the God of Abraham that was forced on their own lost culture thousands of years ago, then foreign is ok, just turn the middle eastern zombie hu-white and you're good to go.
Dont forget how much they looooved goblin slayer and any moment Mineta is on screen in MHA
@@FearMonarch 🤣
I never heard such a thing cause most lefties I know live berserk, as for Mid hero, the problem was that the main love interest is a literal child.

American politics are about the choice between two flavors of authoritarianism and it will continue to be like this as long as people keep voting for the team colors rather than for policies.
This, as the young people say these days.
make no mistake, both sides enjoy the tax money the government brings in from these forms of entertainment, so much so that they blow it on frivolous endeavors. Just like they do with all the other tax money they bring in.
Each side claims to be in favor of freedom, and anti-authority; until they want to abuse authority.
@@fettbub92
And they always do when they get enough of it.
It's all so tiresome

"the fight isn't for entertainment, it's a fight for indoctrination" couldn't agree with you more.
Left have control of entertainment and the legacy media, they have won and young people are ignorant enough to be conned by the BS.
The left wants to indoctrinate children to 'be nice to looters, or they'll be shunned from society.' (even if they raped their sister.)
I am your 222nd like
It's actually a fight to destroy the regressive left and globalist conspirators at all costs before they transition the western governments into dictatorships, also JSG is full of shit because he's a retardarian leftist who reposts regressive leftist propaganda on twitter cannot disambiguate between certain political factions. Seriously, his response to the Maus tradcon scandal indicated he cannot tell the difference between tradcons bitching about obscene media and neo-Nazis/white supremacists of all things because he spewed the same antisemitism conspiracy theories the regressive left was spreading in response to said scandal.
I should note the dissident right and the rest of the anti-regressive movement did in fact underestimate the tradcons and falsely assumed said group would not rise up and interfere by causing infighting among the ENTIRE ANTI-REGRESSIVE MOVEMENT BECAUSE THE TRADCON SCANDALS WERE REPEATEDLY MENTIONED BY THEM AS A PAST ISSUE THAT INDIRECTLY DESTROYED THE LIBERTARIAN RIGHT!
JSG fucked up his comments section by failing to disable all the automated blocking he could that is not directly controlled by google.
TL;DR for missing comment: I called him a retardarian leftist because he reposts SJW propaganda on twitter and cannot tell the difference between tradcons & neo-nazi's/white supremacists as indicated by his response to the Maus tradcon scandal. I also made a counterpoint in regards to "the tradcon question" about how the entire anti-regressive movement underestimated how the tradcons could cause infighting by falsely assuming they would not rise up due to lack of influence.
I am Roman Catholic and I remember what the right did to me and my hobbies during the satanic panic.
Me too. I started playing D&D in the late 70s
@@user-gk9lg5sp4y Same mate. Well, 1981. Plus being in to heavy metal and punk. We were the spawn of Satan apparently
@@CardinalBiggles01 Same too. I was an altar boy too
And that hobby is still alive and well. And still looked down on because DnD players are hack writers. 🗿
It's so weird hearing that today too, I am Roman Catholic too, but at the end oh 9th grade on one of the trips, priest who was teaching us was answering some of teacher's and parent's questions. Someone asked about ''Leviathan'' being name of the chain of stores being a bad thing, he replied that those things shouldn't be taken seriously.
While I agree with most of Vee's takes, I am glad that you provided me with an alternative perspective to his arguments that give me more to think about. The best way to end the Culture War™ is not to find a winner (there's an old saying that there is no winners in a war), but to stop the indoctrination and echo chambers of both sides, and allow people to think and act for themselves again.
That is still a side and therefore winning a war if the view of that side wins. Wanting the war to end is still wanting to win it. The right wanting entertainment to reflect their views and propaganda and the left wanting entertainment to reflect their views and propaganda is a side and just like them wanting entertainment not to be propaganda and for everyone to respect the story and each others differences is also a side pretending to be a compromise.
Yep.
Right now I support the Conservatives, because the Progressive Left is insane.
But I do try to bring some moderation to things. If we can get somewhere in the middle, sometimes leaning left, sometimes leaning right, without forcing it to extremes, I'll be happy.
Try seeing it as only one side.

Lots of adults think animation is childish. I know star wars fans who won't watch the clone wars .

I'm a Christian before I'm a conservative. While I firmly believe that salvation comes through Christ, I know it's not the default belief of everyone else and operate like that.
Plus, just let us play our games and watch our shows in peace. It's fine to criticize it, it's another to call for bans and stuff
I get this, and I think it shows a lot of character on your part, but I think everyone, even Christians, have a bad habit of taking Christianity for granted.
Our laws in the West are built on Christianity. It goes as low resolution as "Murder is bad". You can laugh that off as self-evident, but many other cultures (such as the Norse and Japanese) took little issue with justified murder by individuals. Even in the present day, there are still cultures that engage in "honour killings". We, that is to say everyone who lives in the West, can thank Christianity for the fact that we don't.
The entire Enlightenment arose from the Christian idea that Truth is supreme. The Western idea of "freedom" derives directly from the Christian idea that every human has a personal relationship with God that governments should not be able to interfere with.
As someone who is drifting away from atheism as I get older and learn more; when I see people like JSG deride and dismiss the right for pushing Christian principals as though they're just some sort of cult, equivalent to any other religion (or ideology) being practiced in the West, I have to roll my eyes.
@@jamesgollinger208eah, he's entitled to his "2000 year old book of fairy tales" take, even when it's eye-rolling.
@@jamesgollinger208 America had that problem in the beginning. Duels were a thing.
@@jamesgollinger208
Not necessarily. “Murder bad” correlated to unsanctioned and unlawful killing of citizens belonging to your community but christian societies, just like the cultures you threw shade at, has sanctioned killings in war, pogroms of undesirable groups, particularly jews and certain pagans. Also, you act like Christians didn’t execute their criminals even if the crime was just Heresy. This isn’t whataboutisn, mind you, just a sober statement regarding the morals of the day and how no one group back then was so morally superior.
As for the rest of our Morals. You really just Gonna ignore the Roman, Greek, etc. philosophers who thought up these ethical codes long before your precious Christianity existed? Really? Your precious christians coopted that shit, they have no monopoly on such philosophies.
>Western Idea of Freedom derived from Christianity
Bruh. Christians in the past used to think that Royals were ordained by God and had a right to meddle with peasants. That is a simplified version but holy shit if it doesn’t debunk your romanticized bs.
Honestly, Romanticism and false info are synonymous at this point.
When Peterson's talking about the why conservatives should view art and beauty as neccessary due to it's monetary value, he's essentially making the point from a money/productive focused conservative's viewpoint. He himself absolutely understands and champions art's value regardless of it's monetary value, he was just puting himself in the shoes of a conservative that didn't in that first clip of him.
That's my take on that quote too.
Conservatives are concerned about economic development and miss out on the importance of beauty in economic development.
I don't know when and where Peterson said this, but I'll assume it's true. But let's be clear, being conservative doens't mean you don't appreciate art and beauty. As I said in my own post, I enjoy anime, manga & video games. So do a lot of conservatives.
@@Stormgnome
As well as systems that benefit people proper. Tradcunts are just too damned obsessed with the grind, romanticise that shit way too much to see issues with the very act.
@@gunnerycaptain6158 JP would probably tell you that this is a general overall trend. There are plenty exceptions to this rule but he is describing the overall average.
@@SkoomaGodDovahkiin666 That's because they're existentially insecure. They need the grind to justify their own worth.
I'm honestly just glad someone remembered Supreme power
Also, Peterson has argued on behalf of art for beauty's sake. He said something along the lines of it should be treated as something valuable because of its cultural impact.
I might have to look at it again, but I think that JSG was critiquing the fact that Peterson had to appeal to creativity as a monetary value vs a cultural value, not that Peterson himself believes creativity has value because it can make money.
Given that Peterson's ideas are often heavily based on Jungian frameworks, he MUST value story deeply otherwise he'd be talking out of his ass.
@@Adorni Imagine thinking he has any well constructed or insightful arguments that could come close to the level of coherent, consistent application of ideology Peterson displays. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@kathycoleman4648 You don't knowing a f'ing thing about him and you display it well.
13 minutes in and I haven't seen anything that shows the "far-right" is trying to take away our games, animations and comics. I've mostly seen a lot of criticism, most valid, of an online blowhard, whose opinion doesn't matter in the grand scale of things.
You did mention Walsh and I disagree wholly with his take on it. Again though, Walsh isn't someone with actual power to restrict, let alone ban, any of this either.
I don't see how this video isn't just the other side of the same coin.
Exactly. I don't what's happened to JSG. In the last 6 months or so something happened to make him start leaning way harder to the Left when he used to be more Centrist.

@@AntifirstAmendmentSenators LOL. Well, that's not going to happen, so why worry about it?
@@AntifirstAmendmentSenators Oh, you mean that old news, where he cited it as material that shouldn't be **in schools*?*
Okay. I absolutely agree with him on that.
That's not "banning" or "outlawing" it. That's removing graphic material from a school. Just like I agree that books like 'Gender Queer' shouldn't be in schools either, due to the graphic material contained in it.
I would prefer young people not read either form of material before they are adults, but I also can't stop their parents from providing it to them. However, they should not be provided by anyone else, due to their graphic content.
Uh-oh. That kind of fucks with the whole "the far-right wants to ban the animes" narrative now, doesn't it?
@@jrytacct He’s never been Center, he is dead center on the Left, so he criticizes the right and the far-left.

Incidentally, it is not because you agree broadly with somebody that you have to agree on everything. I consider myself fairly right wing but I have been watching Anime since the mid-80's and have played videogames ever since. It is ridiculous to take offense at anime or manga.
Also, the Japanese do not have a monolitic opinion.
one wonders what anime were they watching/ into 🤔
Well I think it ridiculous to take offense of someone taking offense of something you like.
I'm on the receiving end of both of these petty pissing contests but I must say, I take more shit and insulted more for being Catholic, something that is part of my heritage, than I ever had being a fan of manga and videogames, like in this video, but I don't care, why should I? Why care that someone has shit to say about a fanbase, it's the internet and over 8billion people in the world, it's gonna happen.
I write, draw and collect manga, some of my favorite stories of all time are in this medium, but it's because I have spent so much time in this "community" that I don't mind being honest about it. Anime has always delved into perverted fantasy, it's creepy and degenerate and even the japanese are quick to point out it fetishize literally everything. Like the red elementary schooler's backpacks, or sailor uniforms in general, or even a simple relationship of siblings. It isn't unique to anime and manga but they sure do stand out.
I've been to about a dozen anime conventions and it never fails, there always full of degenerate weirdos. Hell, just think if the countless memes and in jokes the fan base have literally in every corner of the internet, don't fucking kid yourself, 9/10 It has something to do with lewd degenerate, bullshit. It has honestly ruined the experience for me oftentimes.
Does that mean every fan is like that, well of course not but that's the image the community itself has pushed to the forefront.
You want to be critical of "the Right" an incredibly diluted and vague term anymore for pushing people to the top who criticizes things like this, maybe tell the community that thier immature jokes and over sexualization of cartoon characters, are probably not what you want to be the face of the "fandom."
It bothers me that foreign Asian cultural products and culture are so dominant in American and European lands.
We need comics, animation and novels of the same overall level of quality and passion as the Japanese can produce. Same quality level (or better), made with our culture in mind.
It bothers me that I have to resort to Japanese culture (whose particularities are starting to irk me) to get good stories.
It's gone from exotic and interesting to ubiquitous and even invasive. I like it, but it's invasive, and that's the truth. Don't ban it, out-compete it.
@@mirceazaharia2094
A bold position, but I must say I do agree for the most part.
There are some very peculiar aspects of any culture and as someone who have read hundreds of manga series, I can honestly say there is a monotony among many of the tropes used as well.
WTF... how did I miss that Matt Walsh is "in power" all of a sudden?
Did he get all the Anime banned by now or do I have time left to get me some?
As a conservative Christian who believes the 2,000 year old fantasy Book this makes us look super bad, I play Videogames, play DND, watch a variety of movies. I wish people would be more open

I have been right leaning the last few years because I don’t like what the left has done to public discourse and culture, even though I have a lot of left leaning values. So I view a lot of left leaning figures as villains. But that doesn’t mean I think the right are the good guys.
I'm old enough to remember the Satanic Panic, the moralizing around HIV and AIDS, and concern about Gangast Rap and "realistic violence in video games" like Mortal Kombat and a host of other nonsense. I would say this is a different verse in the same song, but the prevalence of social media has the volume turned up to such a cacophony it feels louder and more abrasive than ever.
@@acutelilmint8035 "Making sense" is not an important part of their agenda.

@@charliedulin What a waste of time and resources that was.

Of those things, gangster rap is by far the most concerning thing.
From my perspective as a foreigner, the left wing of the American political system seems much more heavy-handed and draconian compared to the right.
Then you are obviously pretty young and don’t remember the world before 2000. The religious right is JUST as bad as the left when given the chance.

@@trahapace150 he said "as a foreigner".
@@trahapace150 banning manga and other artistic mediums is a far cry from what lefties have done (reminder that they are doing this in response to liberals highjacking the mcu, star wars, ect)
I agree, but then again I live in a South America where leftists have been doing whatever the fuck they please, so I may be biased.
Both sides of the spectrum are radicalising which leaves little room for logic and compromise.
Logic great, but to comprise with evil , just gets you slightly less evil.
Thats why we need to fight for truth...not for political wings.
Sadly, I must agree. We need less extremes on both sides and more balancing of the two viewpoints. Pushing either direction in the extreme goes to very bad places.
@@BlakKlaa2 That mindset is dangerous. The most extreme, unreasonable stance slowly becomes the only one as with every step towards those extremes anything less becomes a matter of giving in to evil and anyone questioning the most draconian possible stance must be pro-evil.
Uhh the "left" was bashing Eric July before his comic was ever announced. The "comic pros" ARE jealous of him, but trying to play it off like it ONLY comic pros and "it's not that complicated" is being disingenuous .
I don't know why we can't find a happy medium. Both left and right don't know when to stop.
Damnit, JSG... You piss me off with an emotional take that ignores reality, then you draw me right back in with a nice, balanced take that pisses everyone off equally.
Carry on.
You lose the culture war by talking in absolute terms like "The Right" and "The Left".
There is no "The Right", because there are moderate conservatives, Alt Right conservatives and many gradations in between those two extremes.
The same applies to "The Left".
So every time you hear someone talking about "The Right" or "The Left", you know that that person's perspective is very narrow and very coloured.
That why I usually the Tumblr Type, or SJW. I want people to know it a particular group on the left, it will do you no good in making enemy of the bigger group rather then a small problematic group. Sadly the SJW Type always try to conflate themselves as the whole group to make it look like people attacking them all instead of a problematic small group.
I agree to an extent, but if it's the overall diaspora of a label that pushes defining features to the point where people who used to be considered a part of the group aren't within it if they lack in that particular feature, eventually you have to change your definition, or at least add a caveat to distinguish yourself if you continue using the label (kind of like what happened with liberal vs differentiating as a "classical liberal"). I get both sides, and I'm not sure where the line should be drawn. I suppose we can reject overall labels once they get too broad, but again, you need to figure out when a line is appropriate, then. Even with the newer PEW standard of differentiating into like 9 distinct political groups in the US, there's the issue of defining features not matching people within groups. It's definitely complex, and figuring out how to make meaningful distinctions meant to apply across the board is difficult.
That's true, but to say that there aren't giant machines working hard in the camps of both The Left and The Right is naive. Fox News is not saying anything to moderates, it's a tool of The Right. You're not getting nuanced both sides content from MSNBC. They are a group that speaks to The Left. People are nuanced, but organizations are not. The problem is that most people tend to tribalize and choose a side, even if they aren't fully on board with their politics. That's why this country (and world) is becoming so binary and polarized. We've turned politics into team sports where winning is more important than providing balanced solutions.
Remember that the goal is to consolidate power. No one wants a million people all thinking individually, they want a power base to control with.
Exactly, if one were to use a more apt dichtonomy, it wouldn’t be right v left but rather Authoritarian vs Liberal. Liberal right and liberal left unity, who’s with me!
Such a broad brush thee paints with. Who are “ They”? Peterson is WRONG! Conservatives can appreciate beauty well, at least this one can. I’d like to think there are a few more who do to. I can’t finish your rant video but perhaps, focusing on the who is actually wanting to ban anime instead of going hard at a whole group that vary in their temperament and beliefs you’d have a more productive message. You know, folks can protest those individuals in a very focused way and perhaps change minds? Who knows, I’m just some other guy. 😉
In My Hero Academia, Deku does work for his powers. All Might while does give his powers to him, Deku has to go through intense physical training for several months prior to that in order to prepare for All Might giving his powers to him, other wise the process would have killed him. Even after gaining powers, Deku constantly breaks his bodies' bones using his powers and continues to physically train.
MHA is still a piece of woke new world-order propaganda.
Either left or right extreme results in being extremely controlling.
Balance in all things.
Not quite. Instead if balance, we should just cut the Hyper authoritarianism out of the equation.
Speaking of the PC war against manga, the most disgusting and disappointing criticism against such genre by a sjw author is undoubtedly the one of the legendary Gerry Conway. The crazy old man had no better idea than saying manga in general is horribly misogynistic due to the s*xualization of female characters (looks like Gerry has forgotten he was one of the creators of Power Girl herself), not to mention that he directly called incels and pedos those who criticized in Twitter his non-sensical comment. What a way to treat the fans you've had for 40 years, Gerry. Very admirable...
It’s just desperation to stay relevant
Politics is fun like a stomach pump.

Bro I don’t like your argument against parents. Yes, you’re absolutely right that not all parents are good parents, but in general, a child’s upbringing is the parent’s responsibility. That doesn’t mean that we can’t have empathy for kids with terrible parents, but we really shouldn’t make it the default that parents shouldn’t be trusted with their own kids. I don’t know what kind of parents you had my guy, but I had two loving parents.
They were not perfect, but I definitely wouldn’t consider them bad parents. I was especially blessed to be a black man who had a father in his life, that’s for sure, even when he and my mother were no longer together. I’d say my parents were the average, the norm in America. Generally good people who obviously made mistakes but did a good job raising their kids at the end of the day.
“Derrick from across the street” may have had a terrible drunken mother who abused him at every turn, and “That girl Sally” may have had been touched inappropriately by his shit father but those cases are not normal and shouldn’t be used to disregard millions of parents. FFS our country is too damn big for these ridiculous arguments from both sides (makes we wish the 50 States were independent, tbh.)
I think you'd be surprised how 'normal' the negative examples you list are.
@@fatherjimbo My dude, that is not the norm. I'm not saying it's rare but come on, show me the data that shows how common that actually is.
I hate to use anecdotes, but every single friend I've had in my life from childhood until now (late 20s) had well meaning parents. Child abuse is not rare, I know that, but it sure as hell ain't common or accepted as normal, so stop trying to defend that terrible argument just to discredit parents. It makes me think you and JSG want the State to raise people's kids, tbh.
Yes, that was a typical argumentation fallacy
@@nobalkain624 you know nothing about me so how about you stfu eh?
I think he meant parents on r/insaneparents side of things that do this stuff often.
I understand you do have an entrenched opinion on conservatives, where you construe them having no redeemable qualities. However, as someone raised by very conservative religious parents, self sacrifice is the pinnacle achievement. More than money or family. The fireman who risks his life, the cop who runs into gun fire, the soldier who is wounded are the archetype of who they want to be.
I get you don't like conservatives. I'm not one myself, but they aren't irredeemable.
Yep, that’s one his big blind spots, unfortunately.
As someone whose a religious right wing conservative Christian, I can second this. I've always held the belief that all sides have their goods, bads, and uglies. Now and days its most the bads that are in power that let the uglies of their side run around unchecked. And while yes I do think we're in a culture war and believe the woke left are the worst of the two sides. I know there are the bads and uglies on my side makeing normal ones like me and others I know look bad. Just as I know there are some of the woke left who are goods as well. I understand and respect your reasons for not liking us, hell I think the idiots trying to band manga, anime, and games are complete shit heads. Just know not all of us are complete whack jobs like them, just as I don't believe all of the woke left are wackjobs either. Every side has its goods, bads, and uglies, and I do believe its mostly the bads and uglies of both sides that hold the most power and are the reasons why we're at each other's throats.
I find it strange - and a little frightening - that you consider all of those examples to be exclusively conservative values. Both sides clearly have their freaks & weirdos, but I'd like to believe that when it comes down to it most of us exist closer to the middle than some people would like to admit.
@@theritchie2173 I never said they were exclusive. I said it was the loftiest goal of the conservative. Reread please.
@@misternibbles7426 If you don't outright state those traits to be exclusively conservative, you certainly seem to believe there's a strong correlation otherwise why list them in a discussion about alleged archetypal conservative values?
I don't have a particular problem with conservatives either - I used to be one - but I know from experience that they're certainly not all the Saints you portray them as. And to save you some typing, I know you didn't say ALL of them were.
This is a bad faith take.
The right wing personalities who condemn anime and manga are a tiny minority in their own political sphere. In fact, the vast majority of right wingers and conservatives embrace these genres, because they pose a counterpart to western comics, which have destroyed themselves by going woke.
The difference between the right and the left is, that the right doesn't tend to cancel their own people because someone has a bad take on an issue or doesn't adhere 100% to their doctrine.
Saying that mangas are useless garbage isn't a reason to cancel Matt Walsh, but saying that women are women was enough to get the staunch leftwing feminist JKR cancelled.
Pretty good point. However, I fear the day the right wing does more than boycott companies for being stupid
And the crazy moralists on the left were the minorities of their side too. Until they weren't.
As a European I am sad to see that one extreme ushers in the other extreme. We used to have to worry about right wing censorship now we have massive ultraleft censorship causing an equally insane reaction. Vee is not a real right winger in the American sense at least not in my opinion as a European where we have a somewhat more balanced political spectrum with socialists and communists elected to Parliament in many European countries.
the left censors things way more than the right ever did tbh. More than that the vast majority of young conservative men are anime watchers and play video games. They can't afford to piss off what little youth demographic they have. Young voters need to stop thinking they're powerless and start throwing their weight around.
Vee probably lived under Full communism in Romania
Lets be honest, Murica see politics are their religion...
Or we will neglect that mostly of the "progressive" movement happened there?
Honestly US Culture is over and over again being devoured by its own ideals...
And they are the ones who have mostly of the cultural hegemony in the West.
Matt Walsh saying that he doesn't like anime is not the same as going to prison for hate speech.
the European Culture is older and we have already experienced (talking from Italy) both the right wing and the left wing censorship, we had the illuminism (Period of terror), the Soviet Union, the Fascisms.
I think that the current polarization in the US is mainly due to lack of education (the general level of education in the US suck, IMHO, while they have the best excellencies in the world) in the larger slice of population.
I'm afraid that, given the US culture hegemony in europe, we are importing also the bad tendency of polarizing the public discussion and the political debate.
Slight correction about MHA. Midoriya does work for his power. He goes through a several month training program which involves cleaning a garbaged beach because his body isnt strong enough to handle All Might's quirk. If he didnt work for it, the quirk wouldve killed him. All Might did chose him to inherit his quirk, but he had to work to be able to survive it. He earned the ability to have it, just as he earned All Might's respect.
Slight nitpick, but i know someone will say it more venomously, so i wanted to say it before they did.
EDIT: the reply below here reinforces this. Even after he got the power he had to work hard to harness it. He wasn't Uber powerful AND in complete control the moment he got the power.
Exactly! And even after this he isn't just all off a sudden super powerful. He has to work hard basically during the entirety off the manga to actually learn how to use his power und to get stronger so that he can use it to it's full extent.
It's true. And that's one big thing I appreciate in MHA, even though I'm starting to get sick of the peculiarities and foreign-ness of Japanese culture in Japanese entertainment (which makes sense, it's both foreign and specific to themselves).
We need to become able to outcompete foreign imports and have our stories dominate in our own lands.
Thank you! I was annoyed at the misrepresentation of what happened with Deku. True, it was his character that convinced All Might to give him the quirk, but it was Deku's persistent hard work after that that allowed him to weild more and more of the power safely and effectively.
The crux of the issue is still the fact that Midoriya was granted a power he wasn't born with, and all he had to do was a training montage that lasted a few episodes at most. After that, every instance of him "succeeding" was his power bailing him out.
At least that was the case for the first season. It was such a boring, lame show I never bothered with the rest.
@@led-0185 don't tell me that you think the episodes happen back to back time wise? Hell, from the moment All Might decides to give Izuku his quirk, it takes months of training before Izuku can handle the quirk. Then a full year of training and hardships before he's strong enough to handle using most of the other powers One for All possesses.
Its almost like these concepts are complicated enough that they cannot be pinned down to a single phrase or ideology.
The Satanic panic will always be in my brain. The progressive Panic is still a thing, and I'm hoping the Satanic panic doesn't happen again.
It's already happening bucko
Too late.
Too late... But at least we can learn...
AND FIGHT AGAINST BOTH EXTREMES.
The satanic panic is a mentality.
Labelling something as evil just because you disagree with it is the hallmark of ideology. Left or right, it doesn't matter. The underlying psychological mechanism is the same.
Over the last couple years we've seen Republicans and right wing talking heads more commonly and openly calling things they don't like "Satanic"... examples from the last 2 years include elected GOP leaders Ted Cruz, MTG, Mike Johnson... and talking heads Charlie Kirk, Matt Walsh, and Tucker Carlson.
In short; more proof supporting Horseshoe Theory.
What's considered conservative in Japan and America is actually quite different in my opinion. Guys like Walsh see Conservatism as Christian Morality, particularly protestant modesty and austerity. In Asia, it is the nail that sticks out, get hammered down. A lot of anime characters, no matter how whacky they usually are, exhibit some sort of virtue, particularly confucian virtues like Filial Piety or Brotherly love, Respect or Justiice. The folks who complain about the bad influence understand nothing of the medium and are probably only seeing people's body pillows.
Ah yes
The "we're gonna wave signs at you if we dont agree" vs "we're going to call your bosses and try and publicly shame you online for vague support of a product or company or person in between times we try and dig up long released and celebrated products to cancel or "edit" it for modern sensibilities"
Im just saying man this is a hell of an L take. The last person i remember trying to ban GTA wasnt a conservative.
It was Hillary Clinton
Shhh! You’re going to dull the point he’s trying to make!
Even if I don't always agree with your rethoric I do find it important to be informed and see other perspectives and your take here is quite mellow me thinks. In my personal experience though, the left has attacked me more than the right when our opinions don't align. Something about getting a bunch of hate for defending an artist who was getting dogpiled by the alphabet maffia. At the same time; I enjoy characters in media (manganime) regardless of how they're portrayed physically, it's what's inside that counts.
What does bother me and I just want to rant about this tbh is that the wokies have been forcefully changing established characters and morphing them into things they are not.
Lastly I hope people can stop the pendulum in the center before it goes too far, I want the world to go back to a state where people can live their lives without getting told to "worship teh gay" or "repent thine sins!" all the time. We do NOT need the idiotic Marxists and we do not need the Neo-Spanish Inquisition. Both had their turn and showed us they suck and are failures, so let us build upon the knowledge of their failures and forge a new tomorrow that's based on (earned) respect and acceptance (within reason). If we work together we can achieve much more than if we keep bickering over what someone wants to bang and/or what way someone wants to pass his or her spare time. [/rant]
Also sorry JSG for hijacking this bit of yer comments to vent, I know we prolly dun see eye to eye on most things but I felt this was a good video to vent under. Good job staying relatively mild though, personally I do enjoy The Quartering and Arch quite a bit. Finally I should disclose that I'm a foreigner looking into the state of the US cuz my country's government loves copying the worst you guys get up to. Anyway, again, good job.
This is a misinterpretation of what Vee said. He's a moderate guy. He compared it to today's entertainment media, not what conservatives did in the past. he also hated the satanic panic of the time. and modern leftists certainly do not believe that anyone could change.
Funny how the type of people trashing that 2000 year old book also cant figure out the difference between a man and woman or a child vs an adult, and reality vs media, government, and activist spin.
Isn't it a bit hyperbolic to say that the right is trying to get rid of anime, etc. Just because one or two talking heads denounce it? I doubt anyone is taking them seriously.
Never let your guard down, man. Long as those one or two voices are isolated in their own figurative echo chamber, yeah, it's all good. But the last thing we need is someone opening the door for them.
You think every movement starts with a big group? No, it just needs some suckers to buy in and start showing out of context panels of Ranma 1/2 and talking about how it's gonna turn the kids into trans people and pandas and the well is poisoned. Not to mention all the stats about how they've destroyed American comics for years and come from a foreign country of soaplands and panty vending machines
I highly doubt that Matt Walsh saying he doesn't like anime is going to do anything. Anime is way to popular and the right has considerably less power over media than the left.
@ Ases,
Manga didn't destroy American comics. American comics destroyed American comics. Wokeness destroyed American comics. The average "right wing" person believes in small government and the invisible hand of capitalism. People will vote with thier dollar. No one is "canceling" Anime.
Except this is exactly what the right has been trying to do for decades. They've been trying to get rid of video games off and on since the mid-80's. Various types of music since the 50's. You get the point. It is exactly what the right does.
8:45 His comment was that the left is afraid Eric July's comic could be used to make people more sympathetic to conservatism, not that that is what Eric is doing.
Yeah that confused me. Eric July, while he is by no means a fan of the far left, has only ever seemed to just want to sell a comic that tells a good story. Not once has he ever come across as trying to "convert the masses".
The people who hate that he did it without going through what they deem to be the "correct channels" are the ones continuously trying to paint him in that image.
And the only reason he primarily dunks on far left people is because they're the ones that continuously go after him more than any other group.
12:39
Yes but no, the quirk is given but it's a test of his character and fortitude. He works and excels and pushes himself to be able to utilize it. Conservative values line up with charity, working hard, and protecting others. Police, Firefighters, paramedics. Dangerous work for the good of the community. They tend to be conservatives for a reason
I'm sorry Just Sime Guy, but your comments on this topic seem rather short sighted. Just as there are extremes to the left, there are extremes to the right. Both extremes contradict the actual core values of the movement. So when you say you can find a bunch of conservative haters online who can't find a single positive thing to say about liberals...of course that's true, but that doesn't mean that's the body of the movement.
When you list the values displayed in My Hero Academia and say they aren't conservative values it makes it clear you really have no idea what conservatives truly value. As you pointed out most Christians are conservative. As Midorya was willing to lay down his life to save hus friends, so Christ did the same thing in the Bible, and it is the core of it's message. And that's just one example.
Most Americans don't know what Conservative or Liberal means. It's left or right and the radicals are the focus.
@@newtpondskipper unfortunately there are a lot of quite sain people on either side of the situation that get lumped in with the extremes.
As a guy who grew up in the 90's, mocking religious people and religion in general, lets be honest here; the religious nuts turned out to be the lesser of two evils. My perspective on christianity and god has taken a complete U turned over the last 10 years. Thats not to say I have become religious, but I have a lot more respect of the societial stability it brings.
The reason I feel is because the Good Book is mainly founded on morals and ideals, where as the left are founded in their feelings and emotions. Mainly fear, anger, and of course pride. So while the Right may have stuff like the Satanic Panic and horrible stuff many leaders have done, all of those actions aren't founded on morals or ideals, but by fear, anger and pride.
If Religious people really were just as bad as the left, then faith and hard work would be the main fantasies.
At this point we've heard all the jokes about God and the Bible
I wish they'd get better material after a point.
@Banana Rama Well it also helps to be familiar with the source material
I call myself a libertarian, and I probably fall more on the right side of the politcal spectrum. I strongly disagree with a lot of the ideas that are commonly referred to as "woke." But the religious right has always pissed me off with their STUPID moral panics about fictional TV shows, movies, books, video games, etc. God, I wish the US had a viable third party.
I pray for this every day, and I'm Atheist. So sick of Democrats and Republicans.
Is it really a moral panic if it is true? We can see now how modern entertainment and media have influenced the minds of young people. Pornography, homosexuality, drug use, violence, witchcraft, etc have all been normalized by those mediums. The only reason why the LGBT movement is so strong now is because of decades of brainwashing from TV. TV shows that we thought were innocent, but had homosexual characters that were funny. So we let our guards down, thinking it was just entertainment and harmless.
As a left libertarian... I agree.
The problem is that the religious right proposed to censor media they didn't like in a court of law. The left is currently using those courts to persecute those who don't agree with a priori censorship.
In the UK, we have several political parties in the Houses of Parliament. The two biggest are Labour and the Conservatives, analogous to the Democrats and Republicans in the US. But neither, can be complacent about their right to power since smaller parties can seriously damage them at the Polls (e.g. Brexit). I have often thought the biggest weakness of the US political machine is its two-party system. The remedy is entirely in the hands of the electorate.

You lost me when you falsely described Matt Walsh as “far right,” which is a slur exclusively used to stop people from thinking, but I stopped listening when you forgot who Tipper Gore was married to
You know... that guy... from that movie? And Futurama? He fought the ManBearPig!
The purity spiral never stops, just changes rotation.
I don't agree with everything Matt Walsh says either, but I'm pretty sure his anime and manga cancellation video was meant as satire.
the point about deku is slightly off. if he doesn't workout to maintain his power, it will kill him. he has to constantly workout to not have the "one for all" power to destroy his body if/when he uses it.
That's still not 'earning' his power. You can't earn what you already have received. This is him 'growing' into his power and the demands that it makes of him in all aspects. There IS a difference.
I remember my wife slowly coaxing me into realizing how stupid both sides of the aisles are in America.

5:16 Given other speeches by Peterson, I'd say that he isn't someone who wouldn't value beauty by and in itself, but that he was addressing that even for someone centered on more materialistic profit, creating beauty should still make sense as a priority.
Bad Faith Argument: the episode.
You're literally a Tolkien fan and you are arguing that conservatives are not creative.
Tolkien. A catholic man who was a close friend who was a traditionally Anglican man (C S Lewis) who created a great group of children and young adult stories. Two of the most well known authors in a century.
And as for mercy, who runs many of the soup kitchens, clothing drives and helps out at shelters? It's not the Left because they usually assume the government will handle it.
Midoriya deos work for it. Almight makes him clean all that junk on the beach. Only after he was done was he given the hair.
After that he had to work to perfect and learn how to use it without breaking his bones.
So he did have to work for it.
All I can think after watching this is "the more things change, the more they stay the same"
Putting a lot of words into Vee's mouth here
American cultural colonizers do it a lot
What, nooooo. When has he ever done something like that?
Re: Hard work as a conservative value.
Liberal here: yes, hard work is, in fact, a 'conservative' value. Entirely because the 'left' ceded it, and has bigger fish to fricassee than reclaiming it.
It's caught up in a semiotic fishing net with the concept of the social safety net: Liberals believe that those with the means should help others as a way to achieve greater equality.
This is antithetical to the idea of self-reliance, (read: 'hard work'). The conservative belief is that you have to learn to (and be able to) take care of oneself, and that an overwillingness to lift up people who can (but won't) uplift themselves actively works against teaching this as a value.
Personally, I dislike the ideas of assigning values to either wing, since at the end of the day it inevitably leads to shit like this. Better to treat people's values as _theirs_ first and ignore how they tie into some gestalt 'left' or 'right' unless it's absolutely necessary. I get that that's not exactly likely to happen, but we at the very least can stop selectively deciding these things aren't true whenever they require acknowledging that the Other has _some_ redeeming qualities.
Honestly it would be better if people stopped thinking of political parties and movements as a collective “ideology” and saw it more for what it is, a collection of divergent interests that happen to intersect at that time.
The counter point: I lived through right wing book banning and smearing games. But if we gave them space they mostly left u alone. An SJW come to where you are, and ruin your stuff.
Matt Walsh is not advocating daily mail make Jesus man the manga and force me to play Jesus man the game & they never did. He is making the friend enemy distinction. And progs have infected gaming and anime; with every little voice line changed.
I do have progs infecting every movie I see, rainbows all over my workplace. Creatives might tend leftward, but competence is a conservative virtue. Leftists empower progs, and progs will chance u to the ends of the earth.
I mean Deku DID have to work hard for One for All. Yes his character and natural instinct to Help People got him chosen but All Might wasnt going to explode a teenager if Deku didnt go through that year of training either. Little bit of collumn A and B on that one 😅
MHA is still a piece of woke new world-order propaganda.
Midoriya absolutely had to work hard for his powers. At the beginning All Might refused to give him One For All until he had the minimum strenght to withstand it. Even until only recently did he still have to train and work on one for all and his new quirks without breaking himself or hurting others..
Agree...When I first watched MHA I absolutely got "the value of hard work" from it. Deku had to train on the beach all summer long just to get the power, and throughout the rest of the series is constantly training. He was given an opportunity but had to work to actually turn that into something. I found that inspiring and the exact opposite of today's entitlement attitude.
He had to work to master them, not to get them. As JSG said, what earned him his powers is his values and personality. Hard work comes after in the story.
@@Angrenost02 He had to clean up the entire beach before All Might gave it to him lmao
MHA is still a piece of woke new world-order propaganda.
I was looking for these comments! I am playing catch up to all his videos! But yes, both things were true Deku is generally good person who does what's right because it's the right thing to do, BUT he ALSO had to work to earn and to master his quirk. If All Might had just given it to em then and there his body would've exploded, which is shown once he finally started using it because arm ruptured from the use of it at small percentage. Imagine if he didn't train at the beach!
Describing Naruto being hated simply for what he is while unintentionally making it sound like an allegory of the political left historically hating individuals for superficial reasons and in the same breath saying he doesn't see anything conservative about it is just peak JSG. Homie can always tell when something is wrong but fails to diagnose correctly almost half the time. "60% of the time, works all the time"
The values presented in these show SHOULD not be exclusive to either side but only one side consistently argues against them. "Pulling yourself up by your bootstraps is physically impossible"
also Deku had to absolutely work his ass off to be able to use his Quirk. Almight tells him he was able to use his Power from the beginning despite being quirkless as well because he was already strong and in shape, whereas if Deku tried it would break him. There's literally a whole episode dedicated to him cleaning out the beach over the summer and ending up completely shredded. Seems like you're the one who needs to go watch these shows again because your signoff has never been more accurate.
I'd like to point out that, once again, you conflate "not allowing children to access" = "banning everyone from accessing."
Children have very, very few rights, and the ones they do possess are very basic. Most of what we consider as "rights" are held in trust for the children by their parents, and are exercised BY the parents on behalf of their children.
You don't like it. I get it. I didn't appreciate being told what I could and could not see, hear, read, do, etc. when I was young, either. But, like I keep telling you: they're NOT YOUR KIDS. You don't get a say in how someone else raises their children; this is the fundamental inversion of the liberal Left, who refuse to grow up, get married, and have children of their own, but instead of taking responsibility for their decision and admitting this removes them from decision-making for future generations, they then try and co-opt the children of others.
I'm gay, and in no way, shape, or form could I be considered "mainstream." But I have watched the Left degenerate into a totalitarian authoritarianism 100x scarier than anything religion could ever cook up, because they admit to no inherent moral code or authority over their exercise of power!
Yeah, Torquemada was an a-hole and getting burned alive because the town bitches needed a scapegoat for their sexual frustrations was horrible; but even at the height of its power, people within the Church were calling for it to be abolished because it had become an abomination that flew in the face of God. When the Church bureaucracy was busy burning books, their own monks were busy copying down and hiding the "heretical" texts, thus preserving them and enabling the Age of Enlightenment that followed.
But the Left has given itself over to the mob, in the deluded belief that this somehow enables them to control it. They have zero principles, no bedrock morality to which they may reorient themselves when going too far. Only power, and its exercise. On the Right, you are allowed to disagree; you are allowed to think, to argue, to dissent. Tell me, JSG, where are the Martin Luthers of the Liberal Left? Where are the transsexuals that disagree with performing life-shattering operations on children considered too young to receive a Tylenol without signed parental consent? On teaching sexual positions and kink terminology to kids barely able to discern between primary colors? National sovereignty and border integrity? Engaging in global warfare at wholesale prices? ANYTHING? Show me the proud, self-proclaimed liberals who DARE to challenge their own orthodoxy, their own dogmatic "current thingisms." They don't exist. Period. They aren't even capable of arising, because the Left has wholly adopted the socialist mindset that a person is disposable; only the group matters. And the group that matters keeps changing, because the people that THINK they're in control understand at a deep, primordial level they dare not acknowledge, that they are NOT in control of the mob; they whored themselves out to it for the temporary power it gave them, and are now owned by the mob, body and soul, forever.
And if they ever defy the mob, it will eat them. 🤷♂️
I don’t think this counters your point, but I wanted to raise voices like Blaire White and Buck Angel in the convo.
Fantastically put, the left has no tolerance for dissent of any kind, look at Hogwarts, you brush up against rowling, who has like 1 different stance than the left and thats it, complete wagon ciricle, its the lefts strongest and weakest point, the ability to close ranks
Left, right. 2 sides of the same coin.
And whenever there's a coin flip, we lose.
Maybe it’s just me, but I’d like full tweets or references for who’s actually saying “ban anime, ban manga, ban cartoons, ban vidya,”
… seems to me there’s a difference between someone saying “I think this is childish, useless, and I don’t like it,” and calling for it to be gone. I dunno, I don’t think ‘being creative’ is a political or religiously charged issue.
Spoilers
With all due respect about how many times you've read Naruto, but you left out the part that Naruro was destined to lead because of his blood.
No matter that Naruto became an outcast, faced porverty and prejudice, he was basically royalty because of who was his father. His father was a Hokage, he become one.
It's one of the most conservatives archetypes in fiction. The person who no matter how much has to strugle, will be victorious because he was a descendent of someone victorious.
This idea by the way, can be seen in different ways trough different characters in all the manga.
I’m conservative and Catholic, but I ain’t a moron. I love anime and manga, particularly the more dark and gritty ones. This is the “satanic panic” all over again. Bible bumpers are annoying even to practicing Christians/Catholics that have at least two brain cells to rub together lol
Man, It's not conservatives that think like that... it's old folk basically.
I live with conservatives and my mom never burned my yugioh or magic cards, or told me to not play D&D... but some of my friends had to deal with parents like that so I somewhat get it.
That said, I stand with you on one point. The right had it's time heading the culture and it did lots of dumb things, like censorship. The moment they start doing such things they need to be called out just as much as the left needs when it tries to push it's woke agenda.
It's almost as if *both* extremes are trash and most people should stop supporting either side
I’m laughing at both sides
Me too. You bring the snacks, I’ll bring the adult beverages. We will sit together and watch the stupid together while mocking them.

"VIOLA! In view humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate..."
I find it more useful (not necessarily more 'correct' per se) to distinguish between the conservative (right) vs. liberal (left) argument and the authoritarian vs. libertarian aspects. The problems arise (IMHO) the most when one side comes into power.
Also, I'm sensitive to some of the issues around anime/manga (video games not so much). I'm a HUGE anime fan, and the Monogatari franchise is perhaps one of my all-time favorites (Especially the Kizumonogatari trilogy), but I can certainly see how many would consider it 'problematic.' I certainly have a hard time recommending it (for a variety of reasons beyond just content, too), even to other anime fans. Under The Scope's video "The Problem With Problematic Media" discusses some of the content issues pretty well. I can certainly see conservatives and others on the right having a field day with certain works and using them as a springboard to go after others.
I'm somebody that could be classified as being solidly right wing (not necessarily a "conservative). Once I was left wing, and one of the big reasons was censorship from the religious right and the infamy that it brought them. If we ever want to win, we need to drive people like Matt Walsh and other like him into irrelevancy, because if we let them do this, we'll always be irrelevant.
Outside of Republicans, Democrats, Neo-Liberals and Neo-Conservatives there is nothing inherently wrong with the pure and core ideas of conserving and progress. The problem is bad faith actors with the desire for power corrupt ideas as non-offensive as conservatism and progressivism.
The Matt Walshes of the world grumble about things they do not understand, do not partake in, or threaten their ‘values’. Fortunately, they can be easily dismissed as ‘closeted’ or ‘out-of-touch’. I do not see any cause for concern when there is very likely to be a push-back against their meddling.
Or we could have an open discourse with him and show another side. Otherwise, aren't we doing the same we accuse him of doing and drowning out dissent?
I'm a christian conservative grown up in my family, was liberal in my early to late 20's and wasn't until 2020 did I switch back. I've also been a big Dragon Ball fan since I was 7 in the late 90's and one of my biggest fears for the last 4 years is someone who is a Woke/SJW/Leftist will get their hands on the type of fiction that I care most of and turn it into something F**K.
Seen that happen to allot of the fiction I enjoy, Star Trek, Star Wars, I am scared of what they'll do with the proposed Babylon 5 reboot and the new Star Gate series that is being floated around.
This is whay im centrists. Although i never was canceled or called a nazzi from the right.
Try independent. You will be a based chad than a toxic spectrums believer
Think he say Deku got the one for all by working because he had to do that training montage so his body wouldn't explode
I dont see how you look at the media produced by hypertraditionalist society that values hard workpulling yourself up by your bootstraps, and respecting your community (japan) and not get conservative values out of that. Rock lee succeeds because of his constant training and hard work. Same thing with Asta. Same thing with every shonen anime protagonist (until later in the series when its actually because of bloodlines and demons sealed inside youor whatever). Anime routinely clowns on leftist talking points and yet somehow also depicts them better than the lefties do. Look at ivankov and bon clay in one piece, everyone thinks theyre awesome, even conservatives.
not to nitpick but after kicking sasuke's ass early, which most ppl would say "doesnt count" rock lee never got the big W
garaa crippled him, kimimaro got timed out, and the only real victories we can give him is some white zetsus and a clone of himself
sucks because he was my favorite.
It is worse, because at the end of the day the power of blood and destiny supplanted the hard work as Kishimoto's narrayive devolved and strayed unbelievably far from where it was initially headed. The revolutionaries lost, the traditionalists won, the latter were just taught a rather banal lesson in not perpetuating the blood feuds too too much. Meanwhile, all the female shinobi still left alive by the end of the seriesngot hitched and got back to the kitchen, or otherwise were pushed into the nurturer roles. Every. Single. One.
@@fillosof66689 Yanno i was gonna mention that, but im glad someone else did instead. it's all true.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for being sane and calling out the authoritarian leanings of both extreme ends of the political spectrum. I've been independent and critical of both political parties and especially their extremist wings since middle school, and it's always reassuring to see other sane people being sane.
I'm mostly just pleased that the right is having this argument at all, and that the Walsh crowd seems to be losing the argument. Both right and left have sought to censor anyone who disagrees since there was a right and left.
Plenty of outcasts live on the right, too. American politics are just a real cesspool.
Ever since he lost his debate with a conservative, he's been taking it out on anyone and everyone right of center. He's almost like Hunter Avallone 2.0 in that regard, I half-expect him to develop TDS before the year's end.

What debate ?
Yeah please share I would like to see that
Ever since who lost a debate?

I have not heard much about the right being against nerdy things but I have heard some. In my conservative church of mostly right leaning people we have many people that enjoy games, anime and other such things for their own sake so I think the loud voices are getting the attention. As to the right only justifying entertainment if it makes profit, I have heard (and dismissed) such minority opinions. I have also seen a lot from the left where everything must be subsumed into a charity effort or support 'The Message'. It is one of the reasons I parted company with several organizations, you could not have fun or be entertained, you must do it for the 'cause'...very cult like.
Of course the point is that it happens all around and I agree, you can't change the culture if you don' t offer an alternative to the stuff you find objectionable.
2000 year old book of fairy tales? Do we hold this same energy for Jews and Muslims? Just Catholics?
lol, oh yeah all those conservatives with "power" over arts and entertainment. I'll take one Nothing Burger, hold the cheese.
10:42 they don’t hate him, they fear the demon and that state of constant fear changes over time from first as aversion because they don’t want the demon loose, to resentment that he is the source of the ongoing fear, which is neurologically taxing. The natural response to sustained fear is to resist and destroy the source but reason tells them that would only make it worse so the develop bitterness.
3:20 Woah, that kinda sounds like a blanket statement for Christians, my guy.
Anyway, Playing games like Bloodborne and Watching Anime like Demon Slayer and Shakugan no Shana have actually further solidified my relgious beliefs, even if that wasn't the intention from such media.
Also, to those who are saying video games and anime are influencing children badly, NEWS FLASH! Those games and anime have something called "Age Ratings"
Many of the points made apply to ‘both sides’.
Many people who jump into ‘left’ and ‘right’ only do so when that group is more powerful. They are the ones who will manipulate the group with the tools available to attack the weaker group to stay in power.
Indoctrination, spirituality, moralism, and other tactics are used by both sides.
The ‘fairytale’ attack is meaningless because both sides embrace spirituality.
The attack on criminals doesn’t work because both sides believe in guilty until proven innocent, just in different flavors.
If you want to know what a faction truly believes look at them at their weakest. That is when the true believers are all that is left. Never judge a faction at its strongest. That is when the power players jumped ship from the other group and took over.
HORSESHOE THEORY IS REAL!
needs detailing and expanding more!🤨
I'm here for all of your videos, JSG. I love it when you rip apart stupid people from both sides of the spectrum, and I'm even here for it when you criticize my viewpoints. Calling the foundation of my faith a "book of fairytails" is the facile kind of argument you would jump on in a heartbeat.
He's not wrong though. If you find that offensive for some intangible reasons tied in with your deeply held faith (which I fully respect), can you understand why those on the outside find it hard to take a religion seriously when it has very strong advocates arguing that the Earth is 6000 years old? We were laughing at that stuff in the (19)20's, yet here we are a century later and some people are pushing it stronger than ever.
People need to learn to chill in the moderate zone. I found myself being an avid listener of the daily wire content, and Matt Walsh. Although i agree with a lot of their views, there have been plenty of "air suck" moments, where the harder right aspects crept through in their messaging. I've found myself tuning out because of that. Extremes are never good. Stay centered!
It's important to listen to both sides to never lose perspective and get stuck in an echo-chamber bubble. I watch Ben Shapiro, Tim Pool but also watch TYT, Joe Rogan and Secular Talk, as a small example. And you know what? I have agreed with some things from al of them and rolled my eyes with all of them. There is something wrong if you agree 100% with a person on all things or only listen to one group of people.
That "air suck" bit got me. I do that when listening to The Lotus Eaters at least once or twice a podcast. I take it as a reminder that my thoughts are still my own.
As always, the American definition of words is the opposite of everyone else's. Conservative does not mean what these people put into the word. Well, the American definition of feminism also has nothing to do with the true meaning of the word... I think it will be best for the world if this culture is isolated.
So people on Twitter are saying stupid shit? How's that a ban? Just don't live in Florida.
You can choose to not live in Florida but some people can't help but keep their mind in Florida.
@@Underworlddream Yeah, but we're talking about a banning of things; you know, a prohibition of sales, not twitter drama. Lol
Oh no! Leopards ate MY face! After I voted for the face eating Leopards!?
Why you picking on leopards 😂
I don't blame you they made good arguments about lowering taxes.
Firstly, I just wanna say that I completely agree with everything that guy is saying here. I, as a ““ conservative, have been really disappointed with the lack of presence of mind around culture. Especially from the daily wire. They are a company that claims to want to create conservative, cultural content from the point of view of the right. But then, go on to criticize, Child eyes, and ridicule the very thing they claim to be trying to produce. It boggles me, again, as a conservative, that these people who are not that much older than me can have this level of contempt, for some thing that my life largely revolves around, namely, gaming, comic book, stuff, and general fantasy. I think there’s room on the right for popular culture, I just don’t think that a lot of the current conservatives understand, A, that it is important and be, how important it is.
Also, I’m not sure Guy understands exactly what conservative vales are.
"you think of how stupid the average person is and then realize half of them are even more stupid" G. Carlin.
this is all this is about. idiots who can't think for themselves playing tug of war as the few smart people around them roleplay as Wormtongue and profiteer off their struggle.
As someone who believes in god, Lets hypothetically say you are right, and everything just happened... because, fine. Even still, that ""fantasy book"" created very real and strong kingdoms, countries, culture and a valuable moral mind set that can lead you on the way to living a happy & productive life, fantasy or not.
Now show me how many castles you made thanks to your favorite fantasy books.
I don’t think you understand how tolerant Christians actually are. Are there conservatives who take things too far? Absolutely. But they are a minority. Ideologues in general don’t have anything practical to offer. At the very least nothing good.
Don’t act all high and mighty just because you’re Just Some Guy who doesn’t agree with scripture. Being anti religion doesn’t make you cool.
The entire appeal of your channel is that it’s based in common sense. You lose that appeal when you start talking down to people for believing in something you just don’t.
You don’t read scripture. You read manga and comics and watch anime. Trashing it and people who follow it doesn’t make you any better than Walsh who trashes games and people who play them.
Because again, You are Just Some Guy.
