  1. 34:14 - 45:36 This documentary is an internet gem.
  2. @Member It's hypnotic
  3. That guy would for sure be a lefty if he grew up in the right neighbourhood.
  4. @Preety_India Yes, there is a distinction there, and I would call that distinction a higher vs. lower perspective on what counts as injustice: one is more inclusive and empathetic than the other. The psychiatric lens I'm still not fully onboard with.
  5. When their principles are under attack, they perceive themselves as victims. See how that works? What are we defining "support" to be in this case? In terms of votes in 2016, around half the country?
  6. @Bernardo Carleial What does our green boy Vaush have to say about this?
  7. It's not impossible to use that description on how some people are being recruited to Antifa aswell. I mean, they do want to spread fear in the hearts of facists when they turn up to a protest with provocative displays and/or violent intent. This is not me defending the proud boys though (just to be clear). Then you have some of the people from the proud boys' perspective who believe that their beliefs and values are under attack, and that they are genuinely concerned about protecting them. In both scenarios, you have people who are convinced that they're fighting for a noble cause, only the values are different. The definition of injustice is relative. Empathy requires a higher level of development, and a lack of empathy is therefore not necessarily indicative of psychological issues (only low development). You seem to be saying that being in favor of fascism is in some way indicative of psychological issues, however I would instead say it is indicative of a lower stage of development. To make a point on that though, I think it's more right to say that the moment when psychological issues step into the picture, then in the case of fascism, it becomes a more visible problem than with higher levels of thought, and therefore that factor of the equation can be perceived as more problematic. Regardless, I just don't feel like terms like "personality disorder" or "psychologically disorder" is necessary to describe the bulk of these movements. Both movements experience the influence of those forces on the fringes, although I would concede that it does skew more towards the conservative side, just not very significantly.
  8. ...or it's just a particular expression of a normal stage of development. It's the same reason why some people join Antifa: for community and purpose, but again, just at another stage of development where the toxic aspects are less obvious.
  9. People in the intro look like they just escaped from Elliott Hulse's basement
  10. @electroBeam
  11. You should expect that type of stuff on this forum. People are concerned about openmindedness, self-bias and taking multiple perspectives into account.
  12. I wrote this on Mouthy Buddha's 5G scare video a year ago:
  13. He was infected by his political advisor Hope Hicks.
  14. If you take any monoamine related drug at extremely high doses, you will start to hallucinate sooner or later, be it Adderall, Prozac or cocaine.
  15. Messing with MAOIs is not a joke.
  16. If anything, it will come out when he writes a book in 5 years.
  17. Calm down a bit there with the Red. He isn't riding horses into cities and chopping people's head off and raping the children.
