Interview suggestion - Richard C. Meyer aka Comics MATTER w/Ya Boi Zack. Keri mentions him kind of at 44mins.
This was great lads..Keri is brilliant. Cheers
I'm newly subscribed to the channel and can I just say?
Konstantin Kisin is the coolest frickin name I've heard in a long time😌
This interview was very helpful for me.
My daughter tells me that I'm racist, but not in a bad way. Just in a "being born white" way. Now I can get over being offended.
We even argued over the definition of Racism. Mine came from the Webster's dictionary on my bookshelf, she got hers on line.
We had to stop the discussion; she was too upset.
@Camelot House I so wish all these hate-filled, oppressed people would go and live in China or Russia, but from what I have observed, these people who are spewing their social and cultural agenda into other people’s lives, don’t want to live by what they are making others live by; it is just an excuse to pursue criminal activities, or get noticed by the media, or make a lot of money. In addition, many of the hardcore SJW seem to have psychological issues.
I am a professional therapist. I have been telling people for months that the social justice mentality is in direct opposition to everything we know about mental health and proper therapy. Thank you for bringing this up.
Well I was just cancelled by my white upper middle class 31 year old son. Because I don't disavow Trump right now, as I get been a conservative all my 60 plus years, he told me to Fuck off, families are meaningless..
Please elaborate?
@@livinglife4835 That's terrible, I really hope you make up.
My son got very angry with me when I told him I'd watched DITRH and it really looked like the earth could be flat. This may seem like a joke, but I'm serious, anyway, he said he still loved me even if he thinks I'm an old idiot.
@@livinglife4835 That's terrible, I hope you're ok? Sending my best wishes. X
@@livinglife4835 I wouldn't call that an sjw move. At this point if a person still supports trump after all that has happened there really is a mental disconnect.
I love hearing former SJWs share their stories about breaking out of identitarian environments. It really is liberating. Much respect to her! 💯💪🏾
There is hope

I don't suppose there's any hope of you breaking out of your stupid cult
There aren't too many of them ... the cult is too successfull in intimidating their members.
Many workplaces implement antiracist and anti sexist standards. Failure to abide by these standards may be cause! One reason why it is called the 'bourgeois identitarian left' is because employers are implementing anti-discrimination and anti-harassment rules, and thus dealing with the violations!
Keri’s point about joy is so on point. I have been saying for years, when I used to live up north, that I do not believe my ancestors suffered and died for me to be free only for me to then spend my life in misery. I believe I owe it to them to make the most out of the freedoms I have and to live a life full of joy and purpose.
that's a wonderful way to view life. We're only here once, why spend so much of our time wasting our energy on negativity and outrage?
Amen! I have always felt this way. My ancestors did not die so I can spend hundreds of years complaining about how they were treated. That would make their death meaningless. As a black person I make my life count and make sure I flourish as a productive member of society. I can't change the past, but I won't let them die for nothing.
You are free of the past, and this gives permission to people around you to also be free of their pasts. They can focus on the present, they can build a positive future.
@@jesusisking3814 no💖
I know exactly what you mean as a woman coming from a country where my people were under foreign rule - Byzantine, Ottoman, and to top it all of - 45 years of Russian socialism. That's the best way to look at life.
I was in this cult in highschool. Teachers and friends around me slowly like she said introduced me to ideas until i was full blown into it. Then the pandemic happened and I was in quarantine, my family is very conservative so when i started arguing with my dad he would ask questions or question my beliefs and I would have absolutely no idea what to say back, that’s when i first started to realize. Then the true thing that got me completely out of it was seeing all my friends become they/thems and the reasonings behind it. saying “oh I like to wear cologne so i’m not a girl” like???? it was outrageous and when you questioned them they would get insanely aggressive and defensive. Cut to three years later im fully out of it im central right leaning and i genuinely come to my own conclusions on anything political before listening to others. There is a light at the end of the tunnel!!
It’s about feeling like you are doing good without actually doing anything good.
YES.
Really like your comment. You put words to my feelings that had no words.
Like the trend on youtube to manufacture "doing good" videos.
Do you mean like staying home and watching Netflix for 10 months and occasionally sending out a #staythefuckhome and #newnormal on social media?
Many of them are bitter towards the world, they don't feel accepted, so if they can make the thing which they feel rejected by WRONG, then they can feel better about themselves.
when you are a hammer, everything begins to look like a nail
And when you're a racist, everything begins to look like racism.
And when you're a sexist, everything begins to look like sexism.
It's amazing where ugly human trait of envy has led millions of people.
@@DHW256 if you're racist......then you're f**king racist lol ya coulda stopped there 🤣👌🏻
@@Macheako Haman in the Old Testament's Book of Esther gives us all a careful warning about our ugly human nature.
Humans are very prone to projecting the guilt and shame of who they are onto everyone else, and that projection is often borne of envy and malice.
The Dimocrats, particularly the "Progressives", are reliably guilty of projection of their own thoughts and ugliness. They see racism and sexism in everything because they envy others, and are themselves the actual racists, sexists, etc.
They'd do well to take Haman's example to heart.
@@DHW256 absolutely correct. Just dont forget....we are rather emotionally complex.
Projecting is a common occurrence today mostly for the reasons you said.....but there are still other reasons a person may project.
Fear, ultimately, is the driving force for many people in our time.
Not sure about that, everything looks like a stained glass window to me.
The way she speaks of liberating herself from the cult sounds like an addict cleaning themselves up and rediscovering life. I'm genuinely happy for her.
Maybe this is a problem with extremism rather than the Left. I've noticed that the more authoritarian personality types tend to go overboard with more extreme views. Once they're out of the cult, authoritarian types move to the right instead of taking a more moderate position.
"They believe they're punching up." Exactly! This is such a great conversation.
Leaving a cult is always difficult.
But worth it.
She should watch that she doesn’t recult into Ayn Rand CandyLand tho.
actually most of the time leaving the cult is a disaster and results in life long mental instability. That is the true danger in cult mentality. The damage is permanent.
Tell that to Americans,they love being part of a cult,there's millions of them that believe a billionaire tv personality is behind an 8chan prank 😂
I agree. I've been there. Takes a good few years to fully recover but once you do, it's amazing.
I completely agree. I got sucked into an MLM cult years ago. Took me a while to finally wake up and smell the java and like Keri was saying, you don't just do it overnight - it's a gradual progression, just like how you get dragged into it.
i grew up conservative and started to lean lefty when i got into college. i assumed because i agreed with gay marriage and liked diversity and foreign cultures that i had to be a liberal. it didn’t help that i had an arts major. after college i was knee deep in the ideology and followed all kinds of fat acceptance and SJW accounts on instagram. one day i was scrolling endlessly through these posts and it just hit me like a ton of bricks the absurdity of what i was reading. it took a couple weeks but i came out of the stupor. i felt like myself again... my confidence came back. my anxiety is almost entirely gone. i don’t cry every day anymore. i’m HAPPY and i have a better relationship with my family. it’s the most bizarre thing ever. the mentality just sucks all the joy out of you and fills it with bitterness.
No way! That's so awesome! If you don't mind, could you elaborate on the sucking joy and anxiety part? I see a lot of my peers struggling with depression and anxiety and I've been looking for reasons for it for years. Your take on it would be awesome. What about the SJW thinking was affecting your anxiety and capability for joy? No pressure to answer if you don't want to. Have a great day!
So glad for you. Keep smiling
Good on you
@@greckles7821 well if you look at the slow but steady Islamisation of Britain/Ireland and discover that when you convey your distaste of this dangerous ideology in your country and how it gets a free reign to spread, that you are instantly labelled a racist and maybe get a visit from the police, you will understand, try it...unless you like bowing and scraping to islam that is of course.
Welcome back to the real world where life is much better.
That opening message, I was there once my friend, in my 20s, trying to find fault in everything and finding offense where there was none to be had.
Luckily, I grew up.
why did you think that way. I've always been a hyper rational person, so i just cant comprehend the irrational thought process required to get to that point
@@dash4800 -- Like all brainwashing, it's gradual. Once you decide you're ahead of the curve socially, morally, and even intellectually, it's a steady slip into elitist, militant thinking. Like a frog in boiling water, you don't realize how far you've gone until it's too late.
Personally, I've always been pretty rational as well, which is why I jumped ship when I realized the water was boiling. Others aren't so introspective, and prefer to stay in the searing heat, which has a catastrophic effect on one's state of mind. You've no doubt noticed how stressed and angry SJWs are.
she's talking about FAKE SJWs, not real ones.
all these college robots are spewing CONSERVATIVE garbage, like limits on FREE SPEECH.
LIBERal literally means LIBERty.
We Libs LOVE racist jokes and sexist jokes b/c we believe in LIBERTY.
@@-Zer0Dark- see? You've described CONSERVATISM, the opposite of real liberalism and real SJWs:
elitism, militant thinking....etc...you've described CONSERVATISM and capitalism (the rich think they're better than eveyrone else)....
Many people were. I think between ages 19 to 25 the brain is still developing (scientific fact) and one bit that is last to finish development is the part that weighs up risk and reward. This is where socialism or left wing rhetoric makes sense in the respect that say 5 million lives are worth the risk “for the greater good.” When we grow up a bit more we look back on that time by being so sure footed and certain of the lack of actual morality whilst hiding being morality is proper cringeworthy.
College can be a life destroyer if you're not careful. Especially if you're young, inexperienced in life, vulnerable or just weak minded. I went back to school as a non traditional, older student. It's extremely disturbing what goes on in colleges/universities.
It's shocking how universities have been derailed in the last 30 years.
Extremely. I’m trying to teach my sister to question everything
You make it sound like a nightmare however as an older student myself, I don't agree with this. How exactly is modern uni/college a "life destroyer"? What exactly have you experienced that disturbed you so greatly?
That was my experience 25 years ago; I am unusual in that I am from a conservative, working class background and was already a bit older than most when I went to university. The mind bending had already begun but I was resistant- The 'teachers' did not like me 😂
My situation is a little more traditional. I'm a third year who started university when I was 18. I'm not on the right, but I'm certainly not on the left either, and all of this critical race/gender theory makes me sick to my stomach. It shocks me how many students just readily eat it up. My biggest hope is that the bubble bursts after university and this is more of a fringe group, rather than what feels like the majority.
I give her a lot of credit for waking up, walking away and sharing her experience with us.
That's the thing with social justice warriors, they think that to fight racism, sexism and homophobia with racism, sexism and homophobia. That will never work and never has and never will.
Heterophobia. But yes. Accurate ate.
They call themselves "Social Justice Warriors" , because "Stupid Whiny Cunt" just doesn't sound cool.
Let us engage in plowing
Agreed,the only way to deal with racism is with a good right hook,as demonstrated on the tube earlier this year
@@Pines_Druid The more extreme end are pretty homophobic. "Genital preference" is Transphobic apparently
She's amazing. Smart, kind, humble, articulate, funny, brave. I learned a lot. Thanks. Great talk.
As a college-aged young woman who is also really critical about social justice ideology and intersectionality, listening to Keri speak about her experiences is so incredibly refreshing and validating. Thanks for fighting the good fight Keri. Your intellect and outspokenness is an inspiration for someone like me, who feels rather isolated in my university in California. Thanks for all you do!
I am glad to hear that you found it out!
You are incredible! You will get through each day and come educated and not indoctrinated.
"We believe in Critical Theory, where we can and will criticize absolutely everything!"
"...Can I criticize Critical Theory?"
_"Absolutely not!"_
The more I watch Triggernometry, the more I'm impressed by the relevent, intelligent and clear questions that the hosts ask of their guests.

Agree the questions were deep and gave more insight.
@Dr. Richard Long A fish eater and a potato eater working harmoniously together in the land of fish and chips.
They are intelligent people.
I lost my mom at a very young age, and a year after, my father was hospitalized and almost died as well. Many people wanted to treat me as a victim "oh the poor dear", even a friend telling me how lucky I was because I now had a valid excuse to do any crazy thing I wanted. This was in the early 90s.
I despised this type of thinking, and instead wanted to be seen as a fighter. I never used any circumstance I had been in as an excuse for my short-comings, mistakes or achievements.
I learned that everyone is dealt a hand of cards, some better, some worse, but you choose what to do with that hand and how to place the cards in life. This is called being responsible and accountable for one's choices. Pushing or indoctrinating someone into "victimhood" is, in effect, depriving them of their choices, of their fighting spirit, and pushed them in dark corners.
You can win in poker with 2, 5....you can loose with pocket aces. It’s how you play the game.
You described me. I could never get woke... and I tried. 😂😂😂 but most of the time I was like "this doesn't make sense".
Pushing or indoctrinating someone into "victimhood" is, in effect, depriving them of their choices ... Wow! What a great insight!
_"It's like putting on glasses every day and you're trying to find it in everything."_
Exactly.
It's as if they're TEACHING confirmation bias as if it were a positive way to live.😕🤦🏾♀️
It's not. It's miserable.
That's part of what CRT (Critical Race Theory) is attempting to do and the left want to push it throughout every institution.
But you liberals keep on voting for more of the same so look in the mirror next time you want to blame someone for the dark future we are heading towards.
I sometimes wonder if I've fallen into the same trap on the other side. Am I going around looking for all the woke bullshit or is it really just everywhere? It is equally miserable at times. Best thing I've found is to quit twitter/ig/fb/BBC
Those are the woes-coloured glasses.

@@gagamba9198 underrated comment, I love it.
Thank you so much for this. This described the “me” from 2016 to 2020. Therapy and sobriety got me out of it. I appreciate you all.
This woman is class. Share this video with your friends and family and don't be afraid of the consequences.
I have someone very close to me who has fallen victim to this "cult". She attended Womens Studies and Gender Studies classes and now we see through the raising of her children just how horribly affected she is. Her children are now paying an awful price. She is so against traditional values and calls many basic traditions as archaic. Its awful to see unfold. I really appreciate this young womans insight and great communication skills. Great interview!
@@charlenegareau9302 we all know people like that unfortunately.
The most fascinating thing about the interview for me was that she was literally brainwashed into discriminating against people in the exact ways that she perported to want to stop people being discriminated against - and was tricked into believing she was the good guy for doing it.
Fantastic interview and glad she's out of the cult. We need as many people like this as we can get.
She don't have class. She has a weak mind.
Larry Wilmore was always very woke on his show. I think it was before it was before the woke movement because it didn't last long.
I bet she read Books or saw VIDs from Jordan Peterson. Thank you Jordan, and thank you Keri for taking a look behind the curtain and to have the courage to speak about it.
The Joy-eaters - I like that. My daughter calls them The Pointer People. When they are arguing and angry, they are always jabbing and pointing their fingers at people.
CONSERVATIVES are not only ANTI-HUMOR....they JAILED thousands of comics from Lenny Bruce to Carlin to Mae West...for JOKES!! I've been jailed by nazi Amerikkkan kops for JOKES and CARTOONS!

Some people come out of the woke and are fine and pleasant. The ones that stay are joy-eaters! Perfectly described!
The ones that stay were probably born miserable and are happy in their misery. They have, however, NO RIGHT, to take others into it with them. They need psychiatric help.
Some of the "woke" are people with real problems who keep trying to find way to solve their problems but keep seeing their strategies hijacked by people without serious problems who don't get it then render our ideas/theory meaningless. All the ways I found to describe my situation in the past are now meaningless or worse because they've been "woked". (I've been on disability the whole time, and just want to solve my problems. I still have my hopes pinned on universal design, but kind of expect that to be "woked" and rendered meaningless, or worse, too.)
I would absolutely love to be half as capable as this woman is in terms of holding down a job and supporting myself. She's really lucky and I'm not jealous, I'm just glad she stopped with the nonsense and got back to her life.
This adopting mental illness as identities makes me so angry. I have suffered severe anxiety all my life and it reflects itself in my life. You can see it. I have always struggled to do basic things like hold down a job or even deal with basic things like bills. I really struggle. In the past I could explain I have anxiety if pushed to do so as I always feel ashamed about it and prefer to try and scrape through whatever I have to do. But now the condition has been highjacked by the woke with now even uber successful people identitfying as 'anxious personality' or suffering with depression so that now both terms are increasingly meaningless and not perceived as something that can truly limit your life but as a trendy label to get people to feel sorry for you. It fact it switches people off!
Eaters is very triggering to anorexic people! Jk
Social fire blankets.
As a recent dropout from Portland Oregon woke quacktivist religion, thank you so much for holding this space on the internet. My indoctrination was similar. In 2002 I started college as an art major, first two years at community college level. In that time it was just learning the craft of painting and drawing and sculpture, nothing about SJW stuff. Then transfer to Portland State University in 2004, and then instead of practicing our craft in art classes we spend more time on critique, and endless discussions on what art 'is'. Then I began to notice that the art department was obsessed with two historical figures primarily; Andy Warhol, and Karl Marx. By the time I graduated in 2010 I had been through the wringer of black women's studies, where I learned that I can't suffer because pale and male, and therefore privileged. Thing is, I grew up as the family scapegoat so I never felt privileged in my life. My little brother got everything the same year as me; I had to wait until I was 8 to get a bicycle, last kid in my school year to get one. Brother got a bike when he was 4. My whole childhood after my brother was born was like that. I got hit, he didn't. I got to know our Dad, he didn't and never missed him, only remembers the stepdad. I consider it to be anima possession, a Jungian idea in retrospect, growing bigger as I got older. Heterosexual to the core, not one bit of sexual attraction to anyone but biological females. Yet, taking on a growing sense of victimization that only grew worse through my years in college, and then homelessness that was a direct result of that cult influence. Fear of Republicans, even my parents, believing things about them that were untrue, just fear I got through channels like MSNBC, who frame EVERYTHING as a war on stupid, bigoted, racist, transphobe, etc. idiot Republicans while the spotless Democrats are here to save the day. Then through college the anima possession became complete, as I learned that my maleness and skin tone were to blame for all the bad things in the world. Fear of strong men, even after years of martial arts training was my norm. Fear of anyone taking the Republican side of the American great divide. Fear of my family, fear of white folks, fear of normalcy in any form. Then Portland bicycle cult after college, in my homeless years. Woke meetings to discuss ways to deal with toxic males in our community came to be around 2015. It was then I began to wake up from the woke trap. I was told by some young activist boy that I was incapable of suffering due to my age, race, and gender, so shut the fuck up. Ok. Bye. Then, I had been familiar with trans people for many years, no prejudice other than lack of sexual attraction cause, hetero. Then comes people who don't even try to adopt the ways of the opposite sex; first was a woman telling us to use male pronouns. Then 3-6 males claiming to be women, with man chins, dick and balls, hairy chests and all, no hormones, nothing but a little bit of cross dressing. The old term was transvestite and in my 20's I knew a few, and none of them asked to be taken as actual women. The trans people I knew appeared to my senses as the opposite sex. Then the BLM explosion, which hit Portland harder than anyplace. The crazy was all out to see. Old friends from college telling me I'm transphobic and misogynistic because I perceive differences between men and women. It wasn't until then that channels like this started to appear, and I'm digging the cleaning up of the mess woke Portland has made of my life. Still trying to escape the homeless trap.
Owning a home is sexist. Jk. Good luck bub...
The myth that people abandoning the woke movement has anything to do with rightwing propoganda or downloading opinions from online is nonsense.
Nothing makes the average person move away from wokeness faster than actually hanging out with fully woke people.
Good luck in your search for selfhood. You are a person, not a group mind. Love and respect others best you can Aim high, be truthful and openminded and willing to learn by helping others be free you will free yourself.
You are an individual, loved by God as much as the next person. I’m so glad you’re coming out of the bondage!
Did they not teach you how to use paragraphs at college?
My daughter has become more and more woke. She came from a more conservative background and one thing you said that rings true about Comedy, it can change people. She began listening to more and more, just binge consuming, more leftist comedy personalities. Entertainment is the biggest, and most nefarious tool in the leftist's bag of tricks. They can subtly and slowly manipulate you and move culture further left.
Yes. Comedy is powerful. I'm glad a comedy channel actually pulled me out of this woke culture. There's this really nice comedy channel called aba and preach that celebrate diverse opinions. I was also sucked in by those comedy/documentary shows.

I think young people tend to be more “woke”’than the average member of the population anyway so I wouldn’t panic too much. If I and my fiancée are fortunate enough to have children, I intend to debate with them and expose them to other ideas too and let them make their own mind up. Challenging her views and providing a rational alternative is likely the best way to get her out before she goes too far.
You know what makes me sick? Seeing my small town male best friend move to San Bumcsico, become a SJW street poet and teach me lessons on feminism. Dude, I am the woman here.
Omg im so sorry but that made me laugh as the entire situation is ludicrous
Would of made a good episode of a comedy (Pre woke)
Like when a friend discovers “Jesus”...holy shit they bash you continuously like everyday you’re obligated to help them move into their new brain space.
Being a woman doesn't necessarily mean that you know your rights better. There are women who justify their husbands when they beat them.
See, you may technically be a woman yes, but if you don't advocate 100% for women's rights then you aren't really a woman sweety.
(yeah, that smugness is cringe)
I recently was dumped from a 12 year relationship because basically I wasn't "left" enough. (I'm an Independant) Good riddance..

What does even LEFT mean today ? The narrative wants us to believe that LEFT is just and always GOOD. That is just not the case (anymore).
Maybe your ex will find another leftis and then they can be miserable together for a while, but this will not last long because this is just not a healthy view of the world.
Whoever left you did you a favor!
you were sleeping with the enemy? damn shame.
@@PhilVanDerPolz I'm glad you put the "(anymore)" in there because I've had to redefine myself as "center-left" rather than left; and I used to feel that the left was correct about virtually every political position. But with the poison pill of Identity Politics largely adopted by the left, I can't honestly say that's the case any longer. However, I still feel that the right is only correct on those issues of Identity Politics they reject and a small handful of others. Barring those, the right has gone entirely insane with the adoption of the "Trumpism" here in the US, which functions even more as a cult than Identity Politics does. Frankly, the issues with the right are the most dangerous -- particularly the environmental & healthcare issues. That said, being right wing in Britain would be a different matter because they lack the insanity of the gun nuts, the religious wackos, and the health care platform of "don't get sick and if you do, die quickly" (the Republican Healthcare plan).
Good point she makes about redefining words. Distorting meaning and redefining words is the main technique for cults. It creates the in-group, and distrust of the out-group. The tricky thing about it is that smart, open-minded people are more susceptible. That is why it was identified already in 50's that universities are the best location for recruitment.
Hi, Alex. That's very interesting! Can you please share any sources you may have about the correlation between smarts and susceptibility? Or the thing about universities? I'd like to explore more.
@@anterenic1809 Only people above a certain level of intelligence are able to see patterns (and continue to look for them). Curiosity (open-mindedness) means exploring different ways of thinking, and young people are more open-minded, and intelligent young people can be found at universities.
I think Yuri Bezmenov talked about the Soviets targeting western university students because of that. I don't have any documents for you, but you could find it if you really search for it.
One of the words they definitely redefined was the word gender. It was synonymous with “sex” but got twisted into how sex is defined and expressed in a culture blah blah blah. We already have a term for that, it’s gender roles.
Why do open minded people become close-minded? It seems like most are.
They got closed minded because they joined a cult.

when you go into something looking for flaws, you're going to find them.
Conservatives: "Striving for improvement is bad because it will make you think about faults."
If you disagree with this statement, then maybe you only have a problem with people finding flaws in things that you cherish. I'm not sure how conservatives can be so entitled to think that they get to determine which topics and institutions are sacred and beyond reproach.
@@mattstiefel4806 Did you even read what he/she was saying? Because to me it looks like you are triggered and just spouting out whatever comes into your head. A lot of us are not conservatives at all but as center as it gets. Personally I reject any authority who will try and impose their will onto me without properly explaining their decisions. You can always improve things, but not at any cost. And just because it's not ideal doesn't mean your improvement won't make it worse.

They also act like a victim to gain control by putimg others down. Those who do that are the ones most paranoid that others are doing with they are doing. That is what this leveling and oppessing everyone around them is about.
For an ideology that is supposed to be so "empowering", it's most fervent practitioners sure are miserable.
Anxiety ridden , scared , and weak . You are absolutely right . These people are miserable Because they really think they are being oppressed . Im so glad I broke out of this mindset . Ashamed to say I was indoctrinated myself
It's empowering once you get out of it.
A brilliant analysis of woke people is that they're deeply and disturbingly religious but without spirituality, so they've substituted spirituality/ traditional religion for the cult of wokeness. The language, zeal, and devotion of these people are strikingly similar to religious zealots in more traditional religions.

I feel this. I was in a religious cult until my 20's. I can see so many parallels from my former cult to society today.
i am sure the religious cult was better
me too
@@nyahhbinghi i mean, i have made a lot of peace with my upbringing, as growing up the way I did gave me certain advantages over my peers, even though you could say I also lost a lot of my childhood and went through a lot of personal loss and grief and trauma due to my upbringing as well. I am a very strong individual due partly to my upbringing, and party due to my perseverance to break away from it. I would say this social justice "cult" that we are seeing before us today is definitely more sinister and harmful to society at large, because it's accepted as the "correct" way to be, and presented like its the answer to all world problems, when in fact it only serves to hurt the regular people while propping up the elite.
I recently listened to a lecture discussing cult mentality and specifically how cults deal with cognitive dissonance in the belief structure. The professor mentioned the most sinister of cults will change the meanings of words to fix these issues people bring up. The example she mentioned was Heavens Gate. When one of their leaders died before they could be transformed to the next level of existence they changed the meaning of death to mean transformation and everyone in the cult had to do it to join her. It then clicked with me when I realized that left is a true cult. They are changing definitions of racism and sexism and changing history to fit the narrative but this isn’t fixing the dissonance in people’s hearts because it’s not true. So they are angry and confused and hurt all the time. It’s really sad because it’s so easy to fall prey to this kind of mind control if you aren’t aware and mindful.
@@OliveJuice023 exactly. Robert Jay Lifton wrote about this in his book Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism. He lived in and studied communist China, and he was able to detect 8 things that totalist dictatorships (or high control groups/cults) do to brainwash or condition (thought reform) their members/followers. One of the main things they ALL do is what Robert called "loading of the language". It essentially means using thought stopping clichés or changing the definition of words. My cult did this, and the establishment (or the "left") is certainly engaging in this a lot!
I feel like I'm currently going through something similar. I've always been very left, very liberal and a lot of my beliefs are still considered left. I wanted to become more interactive with that side of things, so I joined some facebook groups which I thought would be safe spaces. Nope. Having predominantly left ideals isn't good enough, if you disagree with anything your descended upon, like vultures, branded homophobic, racist, transphobic, a terf ect, like they are waiting and praying someone says something the can be offended by. There's no healthy discussion. We're not talking small groups either, we are talking groups with tens of thousands of people. I don't want to be associated with people like that. It really opened my eyes
I've been kicked out of every atheist group I've ever belonged to lmao. Progressives and Communists HATE Liberals like me. I call them out on their anti-scientific anti-liberal non sense. I didn't learn about these lunatics until about 12 years ago. I hope to one day re-join an atheist community that isn't a religion. That last one I got kicked out of was for the sin of saying that biological sex is real and NO! biological females who produce eggs CANNOT become biological males who produce sperm. They can transition to be female to male trans, but they will never be biological males who produce sperm.
That..... is what opened my eyes to how incredibly insane these lunatics are. They HATED me for correcting their biology lesson they were trying to spread in Atheists against pseudoscientific nonsense. The irony still hasn't escaped.
Leftbook is exactly what made me really start questioning the way that we do things. I’m still a leftist. But I’m not going to attack somebody for asking a simple question or using the wrong terminology. But if you point out that it’s wrong to dogpile someone - you’re considered to be just as bad as that person.
The more you are able to look at them without the rose tinted glasses on the more u will realise how authoritarian they are
Me too - same thing. I've given up on almost all of my previous lefty sites because the intolerance and unwillingness to consider other views (even when you can support your view with data!) is off the charts.

This is like listening to my own life - I only recently got out of the cult of the left, it started when I began working on my mental health and got self esteem. They truly prey on those who have very little self esteem and are mentally ill. I believe that is why they try to stop people from improving themselves by making mental illness and obesity "OK" - I was both of those things when I joined them and I worked hard to better myself, I was demonized by them for healing both of those things. I used to weight 300 lbs because of childhood trauma that I had not healed and when I was proud of it I was made fun of and put down as a "healthist" and now that I have self esteem and better mental health, I am straight up called alt-right by former lefty friends.
I realized that these folks are damaged and all I can do is send love and understand that they are not in full control of the decisions they are making, they are being manipulated by very narcissistic folks.
The question is not about you being fat and sad but about you voting for Trump or not? Are you a bigot or not?
Wow kudos to you for taking your life into your own hands and reaping the benefits. Sorry to hear your old social circle was threatened by you looking and feeling healthier. It’s hard for them to relate to the concept that we’re not simply victims of our oppressive circumstances. You healing is scary because it means they actually have to *do something* rather than blame someone to change the world around them.
"They truly prey on those who have very little self esteem and are mentally ill." Yep.
GOOD FOR YOU. Wokeism is a deadly narcissistic cult. Thank God for people like Jordan Peterson who shows that being a thinking , caring person is not evil.

Was part of a leftist group that is sooo inclusive, progressive and scientifical. I questioned them and got bullied out.
Similar story here, began to question my SJW “friends” when they thought eliminating masculinity was a great idea, another SJW friend did a course in hegemonic masculinity at a major university, he believed women live in a rape culture, that most men where rapists and was a total believer in feminist patriarchy theory.
Well done you. I hope you are working on others to follow you.
@@Yupster2501 sounds like she needs psychiatric help. This "cult" has a lot to answer for. Especially mental health problems amongst its members. It needs purging from the inside out and the perpetrators of this nonsense removed to some kind of remote location where they can receive electrode and ice bath treatment, or whatever they recommend these days.
Yupster2501 - Parroting that universal rape nonsense makes a laughingstock of all feminism, which is unfortunate because at its genesis Feminism had some quality ideas.
The thing is whenever a resolution to inequality comes into view, some idiots or neurotics have to reinvent the problem to make sure we don't fully solve anything, just so they can natter away nervously because they enjoy complaining.

@@normankelley it depends which stage they’re at, if you have children go through trauma before four years old, that lasts a lifetime, your first four years shape how you relate socially and emotionally and that’s why abuse in early childhood is so detrimental.

@@gerard1657 "It's very obvious..." Your proof? As usual, weasel words and hearsay.
This channel is so damn underrated.
"Leaving the SJW cult" sounds a lot like what we used to call "growing up". Perhaps the core problem is that there are a great many people in the US that are chronologically adults but mentally they're still children.
It's because we all have it so easy these days. A lot of it comes down to things like "helicopter parenting", or "bulldozer parenting". Parents don't let kids grow up the way they used to, and kids end up being dependent and underdeveloped as people.
A 30 year old today often is more like an 18 year old from the 70s or 80s development wise, maybe even less.
Kids left home earlier and learned discipline, and the value of earning your keep, unlike today where they are babied well into their twenties.

@Yahargul really? Interesting, at least they finally considered when the brain matures.
@@exlibrisas And I think most people have some sort of phase in their youth where they embrace progressive ideologies and I think that's perfectly normal. I started working taxable jobs when I was 13 years old and I think I "grew out" of my liberal phase in my late teens or early 20s, when I got deeper into the adult workforce and started realizing that my welfare was nobody's responsibility but my own. I think, for whatever reason, people increasingly feel like their welfare is somebody else's responsibility past the age where one's parents are responsible for them; some people never progress beyond that phase. Increasingly, people want to look at society or government as a "parent" and they feel that somebody owes them something; which is an idea that used to look repugnant on adults but is increasingly normalized and even validated by society and government.

George Orwell was just so far ahead of his time, wasn't he? Reading 1984 ought to be mandatory for anybody entering university. Just so that people go in with the guard up.
Track down Lion and the Unicorn. It is an essay he wrote in 1940. It is a very interesting take on how Orwell actually thought when he wasn't being forced to hide inside the metaphor of a story. There are a few things that are a bit 'Yeah... whatever mate', but definitely worth the read.
Interesting and insightful man.
Aldous Huxley was ahead of his time, too.
Materialism, free sex, pronounced consumption of one's PLEASURES would be man's downfall.
I wouldn't mind forcing highschoolers to watch Yuri Bezmenov, maybe in like 15 minute sessions, followed by 15 minutes of what the Democratic Party and Main Stream Media has pushed. It would take a whole week to get through it, but after looking at what Yuri said in 1984 and looking at what the establishment and media have been pushing, it would be impossible to not realize that not only is that what was happening, but the entire process has come to a finish by 2021.

It's unreal that such a transparently pathetic set of ideas has taken this much hold in society.
Pathetic indeed. Sadly we must judge people by the quality of their ideas and thinking, and there's no exception.
People do need the chance to learn, or sometimes change, but despite this some just want to decide what to think - and then it really is like being intellectually and morally dead. A person who hasn't learned either has potential or, like a completely dead battery has zero potential and also refuses to take in anything valuable and useful. It's no life.
Yes, blame lack of critical thought (not to be confused with CRT) mixed with social media, victim hood and a warped narcissistic belief that they are "helping"
It comes down to manipulating languages and giving words multiple contradictory meanings. It makes a transparent discussion about these ideas difficult.
Blame those who lobby for this sort of change and those wealthy megalomaniacs who fund particular university programs etc. That serves in creating a particular mindset.
The aim is to break society so as to build it back up in their image.
It's replacing traditional Religion... People gravitate toward stories and explanations that are

Such a simple and solid analogy.
The dangerous irony is that people think it's just the opposite.

They incited anger, hatred, division, and ostracizing of all Americans who do not agree with and join them. And finally they & Leftist MSMS have succeeded in creating extreme hatred among Leftists toward a legitimate, and only President that actually fulfilled his promises to us, brought millions of us back together united, as Americans, and stood by the people, even to the point of being framed up by the Left, for something he didn't do, and ostracized by men and women who turned out being wolves in Republican clothing.

So true.
Classic parent line that will always ring true.
Very underrated coment. Most don't think about the BS they shout about.
In this case it's left.
Trying to end racism with racism just increases racism.
@@BasedAurelius ye, cause black liberals doest have that goal :?
She's spot on about women being more likely to be "woke". Women tend to be more protective and want to be kind and accepted. I've seen it it fandoms. Even non-woke female fans are more likely to be protective and meticulous with language as misquotes can cause actual harm to their idols. I'm a female fan so I get it. There are benefits but once the woke parasite infects a portion of a fandom, it can be.. rather.. unpleasant. Just... The woke part of the fandom is often the source of most of the drama. And since the rest don't want to offend or continue drama, we tend to... Follow the flow. And indirectly... Even our language becomes policed.
I was on Tumblr for about six years. Many women in fandom spaces, particularly with Star Wars, are self-righteous and nasty. I saw horrible bullying and melodramatic antics, constantly. If you had a 'problematic ship' or reblogged a set of Pewdiepie, you were open slather. I often say 'people on Tumblr treat fictional characters like real people, and real people like fictional characters.' I'll never forget how the Reylo fandom treated me after I said that non-Jewish people died in the Holocaust. That particularly upset me, because here I was, making beautiful gifsets for them and writing meta. None of that mattered when they decided I was the 'wrong' kind of fan. Tumblr and to a lesser extent, BookTube here, kind of glorify 'drama' and see it as alot of fun to 'roast' people while sipping tea. It's not. Real people get hurt. Tumblrinas love to lecture writers on how 'problematic' they are. It's all about control.
I joined Tumblr to talk about Buffy. Not for this crap. Although I'm still upset over Tumblr, I'm glad I left and stood up for myself.
@@snowyfictions you did the right thing! I was horrified when I first entered a fandom and made the bad decision of liking the wrong post. Someone I didn't even know entered my DMs and began demanding an explanation as if I had signed off a death sentence or something. Some of my friends were bullied too, and further attacked for trying to stand up for themselves.
I'm glad I found a multilingual, multinational fandom that is pretty understanding of language barriers. I was once accused of being racist to Asians(I'm Asian) by someone. All I did was try to make sense of what a Russian said and this person called me racist. :( :( :(
@@snowyfictions I feel bad cause you created so much content and were treated poorly. People are people. Even the most jovial nicknames have real people behind them... I feel so sad when I see members of a community forgetting this.
@@kasvinimuniandy4178 Thank you :)
Women are more attuned to emotions and as a result more susceptible to manipulation in that regard and all this type of nonsense relies on emotional manipulation. It's all about inciting outrage in a person. Often times outrage about fictitious or extremely overblown issues. A certain segment of society is ruled by emotion instead of the brain and that's what movements like the BLM and SJWs prey on.
Just an outstanding interview. How refreshing and fascinating a good, detailed discussion is compared to the mindless noise out there. Thank you so much for what you do, all three of you!
She laughed several times.
She's far too happy to be an SJW.
The whole point is, she isn't one any more. She left it behind.
She was on Friday Night Tights, a pop culture nerd show here on youtube two times already and they talked about what got her into SJWism and what got her out of it. They also talked about happiness last time (Nerdrotic the host is a recovering alcoholic and drug addict) and she said something to the effect of life was hell as an SJW. Utter and complete misery - and that her life has improved unbelievably since she kicked the cult.
😎 Welcome to the world of free thinking.
😃 Why do my lungs and face hurt?
😎 You've never honestly laughed before.
😃 I could get used to this.
@@elizabethrye560 I don't believe it. I reckon she was thrown out for smiling.
Dont forget the balls she busted to get happy
She articulates so clearly the way that social justice has become a substitute for religious fervour. Well done Keri.
This is a great interview. She's hit the nail on the head totally.
She seems to understand that the cult arises out of real oppression, which then was misdirected to make the oppression even more probable.
@@johncaccioppo1142 everything you just said was stupid garbage
And you deleted my unnecessarily civil response? Wow, you lil hater...
@@johncaccioppo1142 yes, I control RUclips and can delete your responses
@@anonleft all you had to say was you didn't do it, snarkmaster
Excellent discussion and love watching Keri chat on her show. Always smiling, which is great. Such a great person and one of the first of many progressives who will change their views in the next few years!
The point about the joylessness of social justice is right on! At its core, social justice operates on a principle of intense, continuous, unrelenting anger and a desire to cause injury to others.
There is a lot of truth to that. I'm a college student who has never bought into this SJW mentality, and questioned it, but it has impacted my experience. I'm someone who naturally wants to get everyone's perspectives, always get to understanding a person to their core. That's where my interest to psychology comes in. However, to "get in" with an SJW on campus, I have to utilize my depression for them to even speak to me. I mean, as a cisgendered straight white male, how else will they accept me as a human being? Mental health struggles of course! It's not something I even realized I had to do at first, but it took me some time to realize it, and it's difficult for me to even want to leave it behind for the sake of understanding people. It's stupid, and I can see how extremely stupid it is, but it does make it harder to get to this point of not being depressed. It's difficult to be allowed to be an open minded person on a college campus, but not impossible. That's what I strive for, and this video really helped me understand their perspective better, and honestly inspire me even more to try and get through to them somehow. I'm not sure how, but I do want to reach them. It really is just sad for all parties involved.
Took me 3 months to finally watch this, and boy, do I regret it took me so long! Great show!
Wonderful interview, wokeness is a cult that sees bad in everything. Great quote regarding joy eaters. Keri offers hope to all SJW’s
CONSERVATIVES always ruin a party and hate fun and wit, and these are SJWs who are CONS, not libs.
Thank you, Keri Smith. This is brilliant. Couldn’t agree more.
Wow, this lovely lady really taught me a lot about how we got here with dignity and emotional courage. Utterly compelling and highly educational. Thanks so much guys, great interview on a very difficult topic.
Her first comment is so telling. Those kind of people, they LOOK for things to be offended by.
Now, in the world of modern literary fiction, most publishing houses employ what are called "sensitivity readers." It sounds like a joke, but it's a real thing. And a casual glance at my bookshelf chills me, realizing how few of my absolute heroes would've gotten their books through unscathed.
Every position, the person holding it needs to find ways to justify its existence. This is why the programmers employed by your email company change the format out of nowhere, when no one wanted them to. They have to do SOMETHING, right?
So, these "sensitivity readers," it must be pretty rare when they find nothing objectionable in a book. Some blue-haired grad-school gal with her pronouns in her bio is literally going through your book, your life's work, with a red marker, LOOKING for things to be offended by.
Art cannot survive like that. Every classic book, every writer that was truly brave and innovative, they offended someone.
Only 10 min in and this already has to be one of the most incredible videos I've seen. This woman is sharp and I'm very happy that she didn't lose herself to be here with the truth
" To feel the joy of another as joy in oneself, that is loving." Divine Love and Wisdom - Emanuel Swedenborg
She's pretty adorable
Yes, let's praise the woman for being normal.
Bro, I love this chick. She’s got a great sense of humor with the “I’m a woman” retort. That was genuinely good.
Ironically, she then spent several minutes listing why a woman would in fact be more susceptible to joining the cult. But I agree that she's both charming and attractive- too much so to be an SJW.
@@videowilliams do you disagree with any of the facts she outlined for why a woman perhaps be more susceptible to join the SJW cult?
@@shanehall7331 No, not at all. She makes perfect sense. Heck, I know at least one woman who thinks giving women the vote was a mistake.
@@videowilliams Yeah I've just finished reading Douglas Murray's "The Madness of Crowds" and while I think he hits the nail on the head with a lot of things, you can't help but feel extremely pessimistic coming away from that book because he doesn't really offer anything more than a complete scathing of the concerns of the far left thats has trickled into the mainstream. Listening to Keri here is a much more palatable experience where you can at least gain some optimisism that people that were previously so indoctrinated into that line of thinking can come out the other side and they, along with the world, can be much better off
It took her a while. Like when you become a parent, and want to protect your daughter! I remember telling my Daddy I know what I'm doing, and now as a mother... I want my daughter to see how she might be viewed ..
that was a brilliant interview and she was a beautiful, articulate and honest woman who gave us great insights into the SJW cult. Thank God she is out and thank God she is unafraid to speak out. Wonderful! :-)
"she was a beautiful, articulate and honest woman" waht I wanted to say, but then I´d been sexist....I think....
@@getyoursupervisor8519 no way! It's a lovely comment and I think she would be thrilled! 😊
Halle-bloody-lujah. Finally someone has succinctly nailed this cancerous trend. Statement after statement. Something tells me we're gonna see more of this lady.
🤞
Agreed!
Just a question thats been on my mind lately:
Having seen Candace Owens speak at Liberty University(via utube), are there any such intelligent anti SJW folk out there who are Not christian Right evangelical?
@@stevencruise5516 Keri's partner on Unsafe Space, Carter, is an atheist. :)
Baby, It's Cold Outside is a portrayal of a woman wanting to stay and a man providing potential excuses for her to do so. They are being coy.
I love how the "outrage" over the song lasted for a couple news articles over a year ago, but the right is still talking about it like anyone really cares. If you have to make up straw men like this, you don't have a valid point.
Who saw the movie (40s/50s) where a woman sings the song to a man-??! It’s all about flirtation-
Thank you Keri. I never understood why people on the inside behaved like that till you explained the belief system so succinctly. What a precious video.
Thank you thank you thank you.
