Eh, If you read the second definition, it does not conflict with the first definition, its just that they think the first definition is now 'unreasonable or extreme'

I think its important to examine what kind of prevailing cultural biases inform our media as you said if atheists were constantly denigrated or sidelined in movies that would be a problem, the problem isnt that the anti woke examine movies its that they make such a big deal out of it. Sarkesian would always say "youre not a bad person if you like these movies" but if you like a woke movie you might as well be dead to these people. And as you mentioned their critiques often amount to thinkly veiled bigotry anyway. If you are interested in left wing media critique without feeling like youre being preached to I personally find BigJoel funny and informative

Anti-woke people are "gaslighting-the movement". They dont deny their offensive words...they just insist that everyone should laugh and move on cause "its all fun and games" until you point to them what they say is bulls**it :)

I’ve always considered myself an SJW, perhaps because I’ve always seen racism as an ultimate evil of sorts, so anyone who makes some kind of racist joke I could never be cool with that. And I saw the sexism in the world and in media before the 2000’s and I welcomed “the message” as a way to move us along to a better world even if it meant the writing was sometimes clumsy, hackneyed, or even artificial. Because I remember how formulaic most old media was, where the women were typically helpless damsels. I’m sure I could be fucking insufferable towards people who disagreed. And yet I don’t think I was hypocritical, just a true believer as in my life experience I had seen the evils that the SJW railed against and I wanted to see them defeat those evils. Today the battle continues and the old evils have found fertile new soil in which to grow. But still in many ways we have grown past the society we were in the 1980’s and I think that the mask off nature of the right will continue to make even those who found the left annoying as hell recoil at the viciousness that is rising, and the eventual backlash to that will finally see us make progress again. I wish we could have just moved forward without any steps back but that’s not how the world works.

It’s almost like the powers that be want us to constantly argue so we don’t get any real work done. It’s all a distraction and the people that just give in to thinking their way is the only way just don’t help anyone in the long run. There should be more discussions instead of arguments, the only goal of an argument is to win.

This was an uncomfortable but brilliant watch

Holy smoke that modern review of terminator two and aliens will do numbers with the outrage algorithm lol

I define "woke" as modern day Communism/neo-Nazism, and so as such must be fought, hard. However, many others define it merely as anti-conservative, which is ironic since Communism is ultimately based on medieval Catholicism, Islam and Protestantism. This includes Feminism, which is a very conservative secular religion, since it ultimately advocates for traditional gender roles, by continuing the age old practise of infantilising women and dehumanising men.

And this comment section is disgusting you're literally just calling everyone bigots you're woke and the auntie woke stuff isn't going to stop until this stops I'm talking about the comment section in this one video Although I'm willing to bet he chose low IQ takes instead of actually going through someone who can explain it properly I mean he already got the right wing definition of woke wrong within a minute so

i was big on the “anti-sjw” crowd when i was a teen in 2016. i guess i just grew up and stopped thinking like that

We all know true intellectuals say "dudn't."

You were anti-woke lol

Love your anti-woke analysis of the terminator & alien sequels 😂

Woke Cult like adherence the far left ideology there you go and as for why it's hard to describe it's because it's related to Communism and that kind of stuff well they don't actually make anything clear because they're not actually trying to tell you anything it's meant to be confusing that's why it took so long for people to figure out what was going on it's okay though we're winning can't believe I used to watch you lol well you used to be sane but not really relevant anymore don't hate you but I already know you're wrong at least for now the revenge might go too far at some point but for now they need to pay

Who would have predicted that extremism begets extremism... The problem was that there never have been a conversation in good faith. The extreme 'wokes' create a generalised racism against their perceived enemy group, the extreme 'antiwokes' do the same. And what about the people in the middle (the sane ones)? They are gradualy driven to either one of the extremes by the other; if someone is constanlty demonised, they will eventyaly become demons either by finding solace amongst the actual demons or as a protest. And we all know that in the current zeitgeist of braindead ideologies and nonexistent actual critical thinking, once you are labeled as 'x' or 'y' you may as well embrace it as there is no way of distancing yourself from it. People have let the social media do their thinking for them and now there is no coming back. Personally, i tend to blame the 'wokes' for the whole mess as i believe it was them that opened this Pandora's box. However, both sides are now as braindead as it gets. The sane people, capable of having conversations in good faith and agreeing with both sides where they are right, are effectively extinct now and if some do exists the rabid masses are incapable of listening to them. Welcome to the last age of human civilization.

See? The comments of the video are the perfect example of the problem with the conversation Everybody acknowledges that "woke" has different meanings for different people, yet nobody seems willing to concede that when someone is "anti woke" they might intend the term with a different meaning than they do How does nobody see that?

We're not dumb and I've already seen thunderfoots thing on this so I already have a pretty good idea you're probably going to complain about them canceling people even though the other side did that first it's not surprising and I don't really have an hour to watch someone tried to say we won or something and that we can totally ignore it now no that would be foolish all that's happening is turn about and that's perfectly fair play we are using their weapon against them simple

"Woke" is just antiWhite, especially anti White society. Always has been. This is why people have trouble defining it, because theyre not allowed to. "Antiwoke" that ignores the antiWhite foundation is also antiWhite.

36:26 Calling Been Shapiro a professional victim is actually quite anti-semitic. ADL should have your channel removed.

I won't lie, I kinda miss the times when politics was ever brought up, it's actually a discussion of policies. Now, it's just vibes. Not just politics, basically any discussions to be honest. You can't have conversation without a fear of triggering them and completely shutting you off.

So you become the same what you hated.

As a military veteran. Keep it up. 💯

as a woke guy, thank you for this video. It's very well articulated! i wasn't mad at this one brah!

Well analyzed. I enjoy your calm and reasonable approach too. Subscribed.

Merci.

The breakdown of Terminator series through the "woke" lens needs to be a video in and of itself as a stand-alone demonstration of how choosing to view media through a specific lens can ruin almost anything. Each wing is kind of the same and they're on the same bird. Snowflakes are just as delicate and fragile on either sides of the bird, on each wing. This is an excellent hour-long script with a brilliant narrative throughline. It's hard to appreciate this skill as a non-scriptwriter!

I have been an atheist my whole life, and when I died last week (tragic toe stumping accident), my final words were "Oh shoot, I guess I was wrong about god not being real, sure hope christians don't use my final words to rub it in my face or something, anyway, bye now".

Should have been the whole time brother! Maybe then we wouldn't have a cheeto as president of the USA. Not trying to sound conceded, the US president decides shit for the world. PS. I hate America

What an insightful and wise man. He looks like Kratos yes. He looks like an angry skull crusher who pushes others around he doesn't like - but he speaks of tolerance, understanding and looking beyond the "persona" people create for themselves - which is based on hate. Today we see that hate is easy to stoke because it comes from frustrations and it is profitable. Very.

I'm even more bothered by the internet hate machine that generates and profits on hate, pitting us all against each other.

It seems that a huge degree of polarization has occurred. Today, you are either "Woke" or "NAZI". There seems to be no middle ground.

My brother I follow you for a long long time. I have had a lot of different accounts but you and the amazing atheist were my pillars for a long time. Then TJ fell off for a lot of reasons I don't think I should mention here and then... There you were. I have always found you to be one of the more intelligent people on KZbin and I love your sense of humor but I do have a critique. On this video you talk about the problem of compartmentalizing people like "all black do this" or "all women do that" and I personally find appalling and I always did since I was a child. Why do people assume there is racism there? And why don't people complain when another race does the same? Are you really believing that when a black or Chinese person for example says "the problem with white people is..." Is not the exact same? And if it's not, aren't you enabling racism against that race? Also when people say "group X has Y problem" why do you think that the solution on that person's head is eugenics or outright genocide? It isn't. When people say that they just mean "X group should stop doing Y thing". That's the logic. I live in a country which is being ravaged by woke ideology and it's beginning to create really bad problems. For example, they are firing white people to put "diverse races" (because it seems white people aren't a part of diversity) and those companies are closing doors one after another which is something we (Portugal) as a country we cannot afford. And they are closing doors not because they hired a lot of black people or something like that but because they strive to show that they are woke, they are unqualified people that have no clue on what they are doing. Moreover, even on government facilities we have signs affixed of Woke and DEI. I couldn't take a photo of the woke one because I wasn't permitted but I managed to take it from Dei. This is ripping this country apart. We have black people incentivated by political parties on the streets putting fire on people, like they did to Tiago, a bus driver burned almost to the dead. And on the other side the far right is also gaining ground because people can't stand this anymore. This is the result of that ideology. We have a choice, a truly important choice that people aren't really understanding yet. If we don't do anything there will be a civil revolution because people are angry on both sides, very angry and they have the right to be. Now we cannot defend any kind of extremism and we must erradicate the far right but also the far left. Anything else than that is just intellectual dishonesty and devious.

I have one explanation for the trans obsession for at some of the obsessed . Double feedback loops. Rowling craves attention, she got so much attention for Potter but that excitement and attention was starting to wane. She said one thing that was mildly anti trans. Immediately some long time fans jumped on her calling her out. Other fans rushed to her support. She tried to make things a little right by offering a non apology. The first fans would not forgive her but the second group encouraged her to stand firm. Seeing her fan base dwindle before her eyes she embraced the remaining fans. Testing the water slowly with more and more controversial comments. Her opinions got more extreme by interacting with her new fanbase as she lashed out against the old one that betrayed her feelings. As she got more extreme the negative feedback loop (old fans) got meaner to her. As she got more extreme the positive feedback loop (new fans) got nicer to her. People go to where they feel the most accepted. I also believe this applies to Dawkins in a slightly different way.

It’s refreshing to see someone practicing self-reflection, and it should serve as a reminder to us all to follow suit. Unfortunately I could see at least a little of myself in your criticisms, and therefore I am officially triggered :)

Respect to you for doing the introspection required to come to this conclusion

Never been Anti-Woke™, but things that go out of their way to be overly woke do annoy me. Like when the government uses tax money to paint rainbows on road crossings, or traditional stories being remade to be woke.

The Right complained about "crisis actors" while becoming crisis actors.

The religious always hated what Jesus told them. In fact, they want you to believe a LIE (john 11:51) <like they do> that Jesus roamed this planet for over 30 years, but only came here to die for their sins, not to tell them anything important about who they are (Matthew 23:15), where they are (Matthew 23:33) and teach them the only Way out now. They say they believe he died for their sins so they can sin at will. See, they “believe” someone already paid so they can do whatever they want, whenever they want to whomever they want and expect magical forgiveness, and the only reason they believe that lie is because they didn’t believe anything Jesus told them. Let them (religious) tell it, and he only came here to die for their sins, not to tell them anything important now…… Anything to take the focus off of his words because they’ve always hated what he said. SSDD. so they murdered him and taught their children that’s how he saved to justify what they do. True story and they are in big trouble. It is so insulting and disgusting, really just disgusting that Jesus told them so many important things which they completely ignored because they were tricked. The crucifixion is a Bait and switch, smoke and mirrors, a cheap parlor trick that took the focus off of everything Jesus told them. Gotta love free will baby. They are SO rude, greedy, perverted and just disgusting and they NEVER listened. After all, why would they need to listen, they say he died for their sins, he didn’t sacrifice his life on this planet trying to tell them something important now. They are So rude.

Fascinating to watch a man make an entire video with misogyny as a central theme and not say the word. Is that one of the words that triggers your viewers?

I came here just to click the like button because of the thumbnail.

Underrated video.

For more than 30 years of my life woke was simply past tense of Awake

"I got bored with calling out bullshit so now I accept bullshit" The anti-anti-woke movement in a nutshell.

Ok, maybe. But I have a question. Why were you anti woke in the first place? Being anti woke means being anti aware, anti educated, anti political and antisocial. Why would anybody choose that?

This guys speaking to me.

22:30

Commas and points, please. Interesting perspective, though.

Really enjoy these monologues. Also love seeing a familiar channel from back in the day still making content.

I think that co-opting terms and sub or inverting their definitions in order to put other people down is generally a pretty clear indicator that one should step back an take a long self critical look. Especially if you are part of a dominant majority.

First time watching you and wow, that was a good, calm and intelligent monologue. I enjoyed it.
