How so? She's either lying or a moron. Everything she says about the "woke" people is an obvious strawman. So why would attacking a very obvious strawman make you think she has any intellect at all?
You’re a breath of fresh air. I’m with you 100%. The left’s ironically become just as intolerant as the right, which is ironic because they’re supposed to be the side of tolerance. I’m neither left nor right at this point. I’m with whoever is using reason and logic.
I think what you express most closely aligns with classical liberalism - this is about individualism. Is focused on the idea of human rights and of people being allowed to live independently as they wish. Rejects the conservatism of the right and the anti-capitalism and identity politics of the left.
Progressives are afraid they'll discover that they've predicated their whole identities on lies, and those willing to listen already understand the race grift.
Thank you Kiyah ❤ Thank you for being a voice of rationality. I think that we are the majority but a very silent majority. Thank you for raising your voice for us. Shalom from Israel 🇮🇱 ❤🇺🇸🗽
"17:38: I really don't think that I am halfway in between crazy and crazy. Rational logical thinking is not on a spectrum between crazy and crazy." Wow Kiyah, You seem to combine fantastic critical thinking skills with truly awesome speaking skills. I beg you to continue with this! People need to hear you. Cheers!
This is such an important video on politics! As a 21 y/o gen z woman, I went through a similar political journey, and being a critical/rational thinker and coming to your own conclusion on your political views is crucial!! Don't blindly follow any side of politics and question everything!
Great video. As someone that rejects the false dichotomy of left and right without being anywhere near their center, it is awesome to hear your own journey out of the political quagmire. Look forward to seeing more videos.
I am just like you and I m pissed by all this "this all evil" or "this is all good" narrative. We need more people like this young lady to speak up about this crap
I am like you! I was an ardent progressive liberal and now I shutter that I wasted any time getting them elected. Their illiberalism is abhorrent and unAmerican. I am not a conservative bc the conservatives social policies such as the environment and women’s healthcare are to my mind, terrible so i am with you politically homeless
Agree with you on some of the environmental stuff. As for women’s healthcare, I am a product of adoption. I refuse to use the cleverly worded term “healthcare” to downplay the significance of taking an innocent life. Especially when the vast majority of those lives were created via freewill. Abstinence is 100% freewill. Personal responsibility is hard, but taking an innocent life is forever.
I love how, despite the infuriating nature of the dilemna you are faced with, you are so measured and polite in walking through your changing beliefs (which in many ways I could personally relate to, though I do techincally consider myself left of center, I am far more reluctant to wear any of these terms like "leftist" or "progressive" even though all my views tend to lean left) I guarantee you will never find the opposite of this video where someone this calmly and clearly articulates why they support the current version of what "the left" believes. (to specify, I more mean the far left) They will use poetic and flowery language, say abstract, impressive sounding terms, but when you finish watching you'll wonder "what did they actually say?"
I am an Objectivist and will be watching your Level up talk. You are very right. Treat people as individuals and not a member of any group. Never let your views go outside reality. Thank you for having the courage to think for your self. Sometimes figuring things out is hard work, but it is worth it. Bravo 👍
I live in israel, i used to be as left as they come. Seeing the reactions of the left in the 7th was like a million knifes stabbing me in the back. People i would fight along, people i thought were humane and kind and cared for all lives, didnt give a damn about my peoples pain and sufferings. I no longer feel safe in left spaces outside of israel, and thats just sad. Thank you for this video, for speaking out and fighting for us, it means the world 🇮🇱💜
I went L-R in the late 70s, R-L in the early 90s, back to R at the end of the century, then became unaffiliated (for life). I have no box, and I prefer it that way. Yours might be the most rational and intelligent of this type of presentation that I've ever seen. If we're lucky (as a country), you and your messages will spread far-and-wide.
I am an independent, and I have to say when I left the left my experience was different than yours in that I was for the first time in a long time able to discuss issues, both sides. I was told by more conservative individuals to “go to the source” and decide for yourself. I live in California so I rarely if ever run into someone who is upset by skin color, and for the most part, virtually everyone wishes they spoke Spanish. There is a level of physical comfort I feel when attending political speeches on the right, that I do not feel on the left. The energy just seems to be below bubbling. Like at any moment, things could change. I rarely speak for fear of saying the wrong thing to someone. Totally enjoyed your story.
16:20 - Sounds like you agree with Conservatism but are disappointed by meeting regular people who call themselves Conservative. Conservatism basically means that not all change is good, so you need strong evidence to change. It means believing that human nature is fixed and dealing with that reality, rather than sacrificing people for a utopian fantasy. It means understanding that your power is limited and doing what you can, rather than thinking that everything would be perfect if only you held absolute power and dictated to everyone. Part of this is understanding that sex is real, that dex-based differences are real, and that if people have difficulty accepting the sex they are then they need to come to terms with it rather than play dress up. It's better for their mental health and society. When a man puts on a dress it's a symbol of being completely self-cetered, materialistic, and mentally not well. People respond to that on an emotional level, understanding instinctively that something is wrong with him and that he's also harming society. Not everyone has the ability to articulate the logic behind this intuition. And yes, there are right-wing conspiracy theorists who just accept everything that they are told and follow the herd. That's because people are human, and that's human nature. Critical thinking is a rare skill. That doesn't invalidate Conservatism as a world view.
IK what it's like to "feel alone". I feel this way about my faith (IK this is more about politics, but you did mention religion, and I wanted to touch on that). I seem to be alone in how I interpret the bible, compared to other Christians (which probably doesn't help bring people into the faith). But my faith in God is strong, and He has revealed Himself, to me, in ways many (including believers) don't think about. All I need is God's approval (and He's my strength to keeping going & fighting), and I pray for others to get their validation from God instead of man. Amen.
Great work Kiyah! Thanks so much. When my grandchildren get old enough to start asking questions about policy is I’m going to point them your way. You’ve definitely nailed how it’s felt to observe geopolitics over the last year.
I really relate to you. I've been an old school liberal my entire life. I'm 72 so that's a long time. I still have liberal values and after Oct 7 I realized the current progressive left is fascist. And the right is no better. So as you said I'm politically homeless. Thanks for you post. I'm now going to follow you consistently.
For me, it was a simple decision. I realized that all my leftist beliefs were coming out of resentment and anger towards the world, and a desire to control others. Letting go of all that has made me a much happier person
Thanks a lot!! I feel it will take time for me to see clearly in this political mess, since I am a transgender man, I am expected to agree with woke ideology which I mostly don't anymore, but when it comes to the conservative side of things, it is also hard to relate when some people define "man" or "woman" as purely biological concepts and dismiss totally the possibility to live as male being born female. I think indeed, to use our brains to come up with our own conclusions is a very good piece of advice
I honestly feel it comes down to love. People need to make decisions based on love. That's the problem with the problematic candidates I see. They are making decisions, proposing policies, based on fear. Not love. Unfounded fears, for the most part. Love must win out over fear, for me to feel comfortable staying in this country. When the politics become so corrupt and absoutely fear-based, I will find another country. I do not owe loyalty to a government that is so fearful, it would do anything to maintain control/power over others. My ancestors left their respective countries because of that kind of fear. I am able to do it too.
good on you for questioning your current believe and rationalize with logic! That's not easy to do when you are trapped in a echo chamber, it takes courage and intelligence. My biggest issue with wokeism was always the idea about fighting racism with counter racism, fighting gender inequality with counter gender inequality etc (the hierachy you are talking about)... it's just so deeply against my core logic that I can never see it being part of a solution.
Kiyah, you're amazing. This was coherent, mature and unapologetic. I look forward to hearing more from you. As far as my views go, I'm a conservative on most issues but not all.
I don't like being pigeonholed. I'm an individual who thinks independently and comes to my own conclusions. I'm dismayed by the mob mentality we've been witnessing. You are a breath of fresh air
Kiyah, thanks for making this video. A lot of what you said resonates with me at this point in my life. I enjoy labels less and less and just want to think for myself. The intense group think and throwing out of names and assumptions on both the liberal and conservative sides makes me so disenchanted with the idea of setting up in either camp....or any camp in between. I dont know what I am anymore and kind of dont care. Anyway, thanks for sharing your story. I hope it is helpful to others like myself. Take care ❤.
@@dougbendo8817 Tough shyt. Identity politics doesn't get to guilt trip people into playing this stupid game that just competes everyone against each other. Nobody likes the fence sitter which is why I choose to be on the fence. Fk both sides.
@@Arminius420 To begin with she is playing Identity politics by being the "friend black person that does see her blackness" and that is why she keeps trying to go out of her way to point out that when she "was thinking black" (whatever that mean) she kept getting it wrong and making mistakes.

If your "one of us" your side has already been chosen you just haven't gotten that wakeup call yet. As for her, the girl is nothing more then a racial grifter. Wants them white click for cash. Waste your time listing to her long enough and you will at some point here it.
Brilliant video! I am currently preparing the synopsis of my PhD on philosophy with a working subject "Individualism vs Identity" and quite a lot of things that you said remind me of the main ideas around which my doctoral thesis will revolve.
You are a brilliant philosopher! I love how well thought out your arguments are. You've given me a few things to think about and would TOTALLY have my vote if you ever run for office!
I'm a non-religious right leaning man. I have the beliefs i do because I think they work. The United States is the best country on earth because of our culture, of course theirs room for improvement, but it got us this far. Traditional values are traditional because it worked and mostly does still work for people today.
Keep this up! Keep learning, keep growing, keep sharing. One of the biggest things I am relying on with all of this woke madness, this deep ideological capture that so many people have succumbed to, is generational push back. So keep on Pushing back!!
Thanks for sharing about your experiences on moving from DEI ideology towards a better understanding of life and politics. It is sad to hear about the group think and tribalism in political circles. Good that you are not blind to the problems in the conservative movement. Tribalism and appeals to faith are also a problem on the right. Watching from NZ where we have similar issues.
You, young lady, are a budding patriot. The right is not perfect, but we believe (not just virtue signal it) that you are just as capable as anyone else. And your mind, personality, etc. are unique to you. Meaning, no one in the world is the same as you and your independence is inspiring. That’s why I’m a conservative. We all are unique and have different talents and gifts. We don’t need a politician, bureaucrat, or gov’t to take care of us when we acknowledge this and support ourselves, our families, and our neighbors. Bravo!
We need more voices like you. I am a rational thinker too and was a lifelong Democrat. I think the Democratic Party has gone too far but I don't align with the Republican Party either because it has become the Trump party. The Woke culture is ridiculous, so is Trumpism. If you start your party, I will join you.
Given the background you went over, I’m not surprised you have gone the “they’re all crazy and I’m thinking for myself” route. I am conservative, raised with it generally but I like to think I’ve thought thru it myself. Same with my Christianity. So, it’s good that you are going thru that process of thought for yourself now. As long as you keep that attitude then whatever belief set you end up with will be yours, authentic and coherent. Combine that with a willingness to question/reevaluate when needed and you’re as golden as any of us can get, I think.
I recently listened to a Transparency podcast you did from a year ago when you were still semi-anon. I looked you up on X and realized oh I already follow her I love her.
Kiyah. You dare to think for yourself and not blindly follow what they tell you. The country needs more smart and brave people like you. I check all the privilege boxes you mentioned plus I’m way older than you. I don’t however check all the conservative boxes you mentioned. I’m not overly religious, I support the right to choose and a bunch of other little things. I am a strong Trump supporter mostly for the reasons you dislike about the far left. That makes me center right as I suspect you are also but not ready to declare it. I wonder who you will support for president since you sound like a true independent. Best wishes to you and I wish we could have a good serious conversation about this further.
Subscribed after seeing you on "the western spirit". Very impressive, thoughtful, and articulate. I consider myself a libertarian conservative. I have a long explanation as to what I define that to be. I have always been Republican. But I'm becoming increasingly unimpressed with the Republican party. People believing all these crazy conspiracy theories. From Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Tim pool and others. Irrational thinking is on the rise in the Republican party. Though in principle I'm more Republican. Though not perfectly aligned with the party
You really gave me hope in a time where the world has very little of ❤. Always ask question (it becomes only harder with age 😊). I`d love to see the "why I'm not a libertarian?" video.
Okay, I have just seen both of your videos. Upload your brain and distribute your analytical thinking! The world is in desperate need. Great video! Thanks... :)
You prioritized your safety. :) That's so important. Because once you prioritize your safety, you know how to protect others too. :) Thank you for this video. I underwent a similar revelation when dealing with people with narcissistic personality disorder. Like in a plane, you gotta put on your oxygen mask first.... before you can helps someone else.
wow! your articulation of your own path and your role in crazy world and moving out is brilliant! i love your catch on the hypocrisy of wanting a nurse that opened the door into your own delusion. your honesty has made my day. 🙏❤🧘♂❤🙏
I'm a believer in Live and Let Live. I'm blown away by this video of yours and the previous one I discovered, "Why I Stand With Israel." Thank you! I either misunderstood or disagree with your takedown of BLM - perhaps *I* need more information re: which untruths were told about the Police that led to whatever over-reactions occured? (I want to share your work with a black long-time friend, a former cop and musician who's been DEI-washed by a CCNY professor and is sprouting much Pro-Palestine memeage, but don't want to alienate him re: BLM, which he and I both support.) Thank you, and good luck with your health issues. You are precious. In the best sense of the word.
Great video, I share a similar story too. I’m a Minority™ and five or so years ago, I was a hardcore leftie. Not really because I’d read everything available and come to that conclusion that it was the most correct ideology, but just because it was expected of me. I’m not gonna be defined by my Minority™ status anymore. The only people who ever normalised judging people by their skin colour, sex, age, place of birth, et cetera; were the people who were supposedly my allies. The only thing I take issue with here is your misuse of the word capitalist. That’s an economic policy and completely unrelated to one’s social views.
What an enlightening story. The DEI part of your life sounds harrowing. I, too, have left the left, but I'm not sure what I am now. I like the terminology that you propose.
Omg a young person with a BRAIN. Thank you for restoring my faith in humanity 🙏❤️🙈
How so? She's either lying or a moron. Everything she says about the "woke" people is an obvious strawman. So why would attacking a very obvious strawman make you think she has any intellect at all?

She stopped when she lost her goddamn mind.,
Yours is the kind of young voice that gives people of my generation (60+) hope for the future.
lol you ain't got no future boomer. youll be in the ground in no time

Keep thinking for yourself.
Sometimes I want to give more than one like :)

As for her, the girl is nothing more then a racial grifter. Wants them white click for cash. Waste your time listing to her long enough and you will at some point here it.
Brilliant video! I am currently preparing the synopsis of my PhD on philosophy with a working subject "Individualism vs Identity" and quite a lot of things that you said remind me of the main ideas around which my doctoral thesis will revolve.
You are a brilliant philosopher! I love how well thought out your arguments are. You've given me a few things to think about and would TOTALLY have my vote if you ever run for office!
You're a serious thinker.
Brilliant. Liked, shared, and subscribed. THANK you.
Brilliant young woman. I like people who think for themselfs without just following a programm or a group of people.
Your an impressive young woman. A much needed shining light. Keep being you.
Just to sit and talk with someone like you is a treat! So fun to hear your thoughts!
Great video bruv. We need more like you across the pond!!
Keep up the good work!
I'm a non-religious right leaning man. I have the beliefs i do because I think they work. The United States is the best country on earth because of our culture, of course theirs room for improvement, but it got us this far. Traditional values are traditional because it worked and mostly does still work for people today.
"Say you're an Objectivist without saying it". Great video!
Keep this up! Keep learning, keep growing, keep sharing. One of the biggest things I am relying on with all of this woke madness, this deep ideological capture that so many people have succumbed to, is generational push back. So keep on Pushing back!!
Excellent stuff!!! Keep going!!!
A young independent thinker. I think your opinions are Libertarian if anything.
lol. It’s funny that I just got to the point in the video where you mention what I typed above.
All power to you, courageous young lady!
Thanks for sharing about your experiences on moving from DEI ideology towards a better understanding of life and politics. It is sad to hear about the group think and tribalism in political circles. Good that you are not blind to the problems in the conservative movement. Tribalism and appeals to faith are also a problem on the right.
Watching from NZ where we have similar issues.
So intelligently said! Thank you for your moral courage and clarity.
You, young lady, are a budding patriot. The right is not perfect, but we believe (not just virtue signal it) that you are just as capable as anyone else. And your mind, personality, etc. are unique to you. Meaning, no one in the world is the same as you and your independence is inspiring. That’s why I’m a conservative. We all are unique and have different talents and gifts. We don’t need a politician, bureaucrat, or gov’t to take care of us when we acknowledge this and support ourselves, our families, and our neighbors. Bravo!
You make so much sense… Following you on X
Well done! Thank you
We need more voices like you. I am a rational thinker too and was a lifelong Democrat. I think the Democratic Party has gone too far but I don't align with the Republican Party either because it has become the Trump party. The Woke culture is ridiculous, so is Trumpism. If you start your party, I will join you.
I second that

Love to hear stories like this
Given the background you went over, I’m not surprised you have gone the “they’re all crazy and I’m thinking for myself” route. I am conservative, raised with it generally but I like to think I’ve thought thru it myself. Same with my Christianity. So, it’s good that you are going thru that process of thought for yourself now. As long as you keep that attitude then whatever belief set you end up with will be yours, authentic and coherent. Combine that with a willingness to question/reevaluate when needed and you’re as golden as any of us can get, I think.
I recently listened to a Transparency podcast you did from a year ago when you were still semi-anon. I looked you up on X and realized oh I already follow her I love her.
Kiyah. You dare to think for yourself and not blindly follow what they tell you. The country needs more smart and brave people like you. I check all the privilege boxes you mentioned plus I’m way older than you. I don’t however check all the conservative boxes you mentioned. I’m not overly religious, I support the right to choose and a bunch of other little things. I am a strong Trump supporter mostly for the reasons you dislike about the far left. That makes me center right as I suspect you are also but not ready to declare it. I wonder who you will support for president since you sound like a true independent. Best wishes to you and I wish we could have a good serious conversation about this further.
Nice to see you starting your journey. Good for you.
amazing perspective.
I wouldn't say the perspective is amazing it is just smart. But this young lady is really amazing... being that smart to develop such a perspective...
OMG YAYYY YOU'RE FINALLY UPLOADING!!!
Thank you for sharing your story
Subscribed after seeing you on "the western spirit". Very impressive, thoughtful, and articulate. I consider myself a libertarian conservative. I have a long explanation as to what I define that to be. I have always been Republican. But I'm becoming increasingly unimpressed with the Republican party. People believing all these crazy conspiracy theories. From Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Tim pool and others. Irrational thinking is on the rise in the Republican party. Though in principle I'm more Republican. Though not perfectly aligned with the party
You really gave me hope in a time where the world has very little of ❤. Always ask question (it becomes only harder with age 😊). I`d love to see the "why I'm not a libertarian?" video.
Okay, I have just seen both of your videos. Upload your brain and distribute your analytical thinking! The world is in desperate need.
Great video! Thanks... :)
Exactly how I felt
Well done video. I have subscribed and will pass along the link.
A politically homeless person here! I love that language. 🔥⭐️🌟💫
The problem - when you let others define for you what good and bad are. Rather than using your own reason and thinking.
Smart cookie, I agree with you on just about everything. Nice video.
Kiyah--Yes, please!! Thank you for standing up for the individual brain and rejecting the politics of cultism.
In baseball, a home run touches all the bases. Your video touched all the bases. Well done!
Please do make the Libertarian video.
You prioritized your safety. :) That's so important. Because once you prioritize your safety, you know how to protect others too. :) Thank you for this video. I underwent a similar revelation when dealing with people with narcissistic personality disorder. Like in a plane, you gotta put on your oxygen mask first.... before you can helps someone else.
i love to hear you thinking for yourself. I wish more people did
Excellent
wow! your articulation of your own path and your role in crazy world and moving out is brilliant! i love your catch on the hypocrisy of wanting a nurse that opened the door into your own delusion.
your honesty has made my day. 🙏❤🧘♂❤🙏
Thank you for being so wise...love you...great channel & great young lady..😊❤😊
I'm a believer in Live and Let Live. I'm blown away by this video of yours and the previous one I discovered, "Why I Stand With Israel." Thank you! I either misunderstood or disagree with your takedown of BLM - perhaps *I* need more information re: which untruths were told about the Police that led to whatever over-reactions occured? (I want to share your work with a black long-time friend, a former cop and musician who's been DEI-washed by a CCNY professor and is sprouting much Pro-Palestine memeage, but don't want to alienate him re: BLM, which he and I both support.) Thank you, and good luck with your health issues. You are precious. In the best sense of the word.
well thought out, well said.
I HOPE. YOU GET BETTER ❤❤
Thank you!!!❤❤
Great video, I share a similar story too.
I’m a Minority™ and five or so years ago, I was a hardcore leftie. Not really because I’d read everything available and come to that conclusion that it was the most correct ideology, but just because it was expected of me.
I’m not gonna be defined by my Minority™ status anymore. The only people who ever normalised judging people by their skin colour, sex, age, place of birth, et cetera; were the people who were supposedly my allies.
The only thing I take issue with here is your misuse of the word capitalist. That’s an economic policy and completely unrelated to one’s social views.
What an enlightening story. The DEI part of your life sounds harrowing. I, too, have left the left, but I'm not sure what I am now. I like the terminology that you propose.
