The crazy thing is that the "Social Justice" elites don't know the meaning of the words "violence" or "harm." Anyone that has seen true violence or harm would not equate simple words as either.

If it really is the case that they are just "bad" or now "narcissistic" as you say, that would be useful to know, but what I would say is, in order to really tackle any problem, you must get at the root of it. Would you say the root of this issue is that they are bad or narcissistic? Is it merely as simple as a two year old throwing a tantrum? No, I think the issue is far more complex than that.

It has finally become clear to me: The politically correct movement was a way to introduce us to to language control, in a way the seemed geared to avoid being offensive. It was packaged under the guise of "being respectful to others" and being "compassionate". When now they try to equate failure to use a pronoun to harassment, an offense that carries legal implications, not excluding jail time, it is clear to me that their intention since the beginning is to curtail our freedom of speech, and I will not stand by that.
Mr. Stossel, thank you for sticking to your values throughout the culture shift. You could have done what most journalists had done but you chose to not flip.
@@daviddechamplain5718 You’re right! In Spanish, almost everything is either masculine or feminine. Those people claim others are ignorant but they themselves are ignorant.
I think they use these "words" as a means of control due to an obsession with power and although they know this, they deny it and attempt to justify their lust for power and control in the name of "diversity", "inclusion", and "equity". If one is free and independent, they can't be controlled. If one is dependent on these power-hungry narcissists, then you get the idea.
I fear that this is just a different version of what all societies and cultures have cycled through in history. When a people get too prosperous, they become lazy and stupid, then slowly devolve into something unsustainable that either gets conquered or destroyed. Then the cycle starts all over again.
And what i think about the Dystopian world, they wont last long. Considering they erased history, now they cannot find how to prevent the same mistakes.
True, when we all realize that there are just BAD people out there, it will change the playing field. Don’t assume that all, or even most, people are good. We good people tend to project our goodness onto others. It’s a mistake to do that. Also, don’t let your compassion be used against you.
When words don't have specific meanings, the speaker always has a way to either get out of something they said, or make up new rules as they speak...fluid. This quickly shows thinking people that reasoning with these people is pointless. They don't want to reason and work something out, they simply want to get their way regardless of Truth or who gets hurt.
"I had to seek counsel immediately." Holy f_ck Batman! Put these people on a battle field now, because they have zero perspective from being lied to and never having anything real to face. They'll all shut up quick as soon as they have to fight an actual fight for their survival, or they'll die. Either way it's a win for the rest of us.
That's what I was thinking. Give them some REAL adversity or hardships to deal with. Put all that need for 'safe space' and 'language as violence' when they encounter REAL violence.

I think that is both wrong and counterproductive. You have no idea who they are or their mindset, to dismiss them as "bad" or evil is very misguided. And if you were actually trying to convince someone, how far do you think your going to get if you _begin_ with the premise they are bad? Your poisoning the well. Stick with facts and use reason as your tools.
@@Jimraynor45 I do use reason as my tools. I'm not required to have my brief opinion accompanied by a myriad of facts, though. If somebody wants to have a conversation, that's fine. But we need to stop pretending this behavior is anything but narcissistic.
@@themightiness Well, the problem is your assuming your correct. If it really is the case that they are just "bad" or now "narcissistic" as you say, that would be useful to know, but what I would say is, in order to really tackle any problem, you must get at the root of it. Would you say the root of this issue is that they are bad or narcissistic? Is it merely as simple as a two year old throwing a tantrum? No, I think the issue is far more complex than that. The thing is, there is a reason they are being "bad" and "narcissistic." That is just a sympton, not the root cause. We must dig deeper and get at the root and find out why or how this happened.
@@Jimraynor45 like I said, I’m not unwilling to acknowledge all the reasoning behind it but a book’s worth of background isn’t really necessary for me to make a short RUclips comment. Obviously there are societal factors that drive people to be like this, and I’m totally willing to have that conversation.
@@Jimraynor45 Can we just drop this little act?
You and some others (a close friend of mine included) pull this little moral high-ground charade wherein we have to withstand the miles long lists of vile abuse hurled at us, yet even implying the left might just have bad people in it is somehow morally wrong.
It's simply not true. There are a large portion of bad people on the left that aren't ever reprimanded simply because they're left wing.
Lets not act like it doesn't happen, or we just gonna pretend that the left-wing terrorist that shot that guy for a MAGA hat wasn't a bad person?
Yeah, thought so.
"If people can’t control their own emotions, then they have to start trying to control other people’s behavior.’ And when you’re around super-sensitive people, you cannot relax and be spontaneous because you have no idea what’s going to upset them next,” says Cleese.

No, they don't. They are bad and very stupid people. The ignorance of SJW's is astonishing.

"college educated" = "indoctrinated"
There's a new translation for you John.
Ha. Seems to be the case
My children are not allowed to go to college unless they need that degree for what they choose to do. Sounds like common sense doesn’t it? I was foolish when I went to school. I just went to college because everyone else is going. I’m glad I figured out what I wanted to do in life.
Every single college "educated" person I know thinks exactly the same, says the same exact things, think they are all superior. Funny, everyone who didn't realizes they are useful idiots.
Dude that isn't new we've been using that since the 1990s. All of this stuff has been exposed after Bill Clinton was in office but only limited people were talking about it. Usually the people who left California or New York for a conservative state. All of this is done on purpose and is being done by people to destroy America.

Calling your own mother a "birthing person" has to be one of the coldest and most disrespectful things you can say to her.
why? mr. gamer593?
@@Redmanticore The effort a mother put into caring, feeding, encouraging, teaching and raising a child cant just be narrowed down to a demeaning lable like "birthing person". A mom isn't a robot or a baby factory. She is a human being that sacrifices a lot into raising a person. That should be respected.
@@triclopsgamer5934 That would imply these people had or have mothers. Many of them don't, didn't or are so cold and callous that they see them as nothing but.
@@Necrosphereical This makes me sad.
It's not calling your own mother that, that term is just used when talking about all birth givers as a whole.
I disagree with forcing language, but inclusivity towards trans people is good.
This is what you get when everybody gets a trophy
How on earth is calling Parents,
'Birthing Partners', 'Inclusive' , this is

A birthing partner sounds like the obstetrician's assistant.
Stossel is my favorite cranky uncle. And John McWhorter will be a central part of saving our civilization.

"Isn't because they are bad people..." Nah they are. Even if its because of ignorance they are bad people.
Then we are all bad people.
@@jeremygibbs7342 Yes when you act ignorantly you are a bad person albeit intentional or not. The difference is realizing that ignorance and correcting it. Alot of these people have been that way for years and are still bad people for it. Its willfully ignorant behavior when all it would take a few rational conversations to end it.

I hope John covers the following:
Being conservative in the entertainment industry
Who displays more brainwashed and cult like behavior: the left or the right?
What to do about the current CRT situation
It has finally become clear to me: The politically correct movement was a way to introduce us to to language control, in a way the seemed geared to avoid being offensive. It was packaged under the guise of "being respectful to others" and being "compassionate".
When now they try to equate failure to use a pronoun to harassment, an offense that carries legal implications, not excluding jail time, it is clear to me that their intention since the beginning is to curtail our freedom of speech, and I will not stand by that.
This is an important video for people to watch.
Who controls language controls the people.
Mr. Stossel, thank you for sticking to your values throughout the culture shift. You could have done what most journalists had done but you chose to not flip.
As a Latino, I really get offended of the term “Latinx”!
It is ruining our language and culture!
They don't seem to care how the Spanish language works. Weirdly, it's not the same as English
@@daviddechamplain5718
You’re right!
In Spanish, almost everything is either masculine or feminine. Those people claim others are ignorant but they themselves are ignorant.
I think they use these "words" as a means of control due to an obsession with power and although they know this, they deny it and attempt to justify their lust for power and control in the name of "diversity", "inclusion", and "equity". If one is free and independent, they can't be controlled. If one is dependent on these power-hungry narcissists, then you get the idea.
@@saitamad.anarchist9527 They are running out of English words to ruin, so now they are trying to ruin Spanish as well.
I fear that this is just a different version of what all societies and cultures have cycled through in history. When a people get too prosperous, they become lazy and stupid, then slowly devolve into something unsustainable that either gets conquered or destroyed. Then the cycle starts all over again.
And what i think about the Dystopian world, they wont last long. Considering they erased history, now they cannot find how to prevent the same mistakes.

True, when we all realize that there are just BAD people out there, it will change the playing field. Don’t assume that all, or even most, people are good. We good people tend to project our goodness onto others. It’s a mistake to do that. Also, don’t let your compassion be used against you.

The interviewee was spot on for his definition of social justice
When words don't have specific meanings, the speaker always has a way to either get out of something they said, or make up new rules as they speak...fluid. This quickly shows thinking people that reasoning with these people is pointless. They don't want to reason and work something out, they simply want to get their way regardless of Truth or who gets hurt.
"I had to seek counsel immediately." Holy f_ck Batman! Put these people on a battle field now, because they have zero perspective from being lied to and never having anything real to face. They'll all shut up quick as soon as they have to fight an actual fight for their survival, or they'll die. Either way it's a win for the rest of us.
That's what I was thinking. Give them some REAL adversity or hardships to deal with. Put all that need for 'safe space' and 'language as violence' when they encounter REAL violence.
"birthing people" jeez.... like in some kind of insane fantasy-horror movie
