Ignorance is their biggest strength. If they knew anything or solidified any consistent position, they could be refuted. Instead, they are just critical of other positions; no knowledge required.

[@citezensane4413]

Violence is their strength. Intimidation for power

[@hayharut]

keep in mind, once everything in your life has become politicized, at that point its more accurate to call it propaganda rather than politics

[@vryc]

I've never met an activist that I liked as a person. And I've met quite a few; it's the nature of my job. They've all been incredibly shallow, boring, and aggressive personalities that have little regard to listening and introspective thought.

[@chrisg5219]

I was wondering about that.

[@larrydugan1441]

Could not agree more.

[@chanceparker853]

i guess I am kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good website to watch new movies online ?

[@musamarcellus6930]

@Chance Parker flixportal :P

[@chanceparker853]

@Musa Marcellus Thank you, signed up and it seems to work =) I appreciate it!

[@dalemore9645]

This is absolutely correct. No amount of facts will change an activist mind.

[@ElodieHiras]

My common sense is tingling. Common sense: so rare it's a goddamned superpower.

[@matt79hz]

Ummm.. it's actually, "not so common sense". Get with the times bruh.

[@Sage521]

I didn't want to get political either. I just wanted to watch movies and play video games. Why did they make me do this?

[@scottallison2296]

Knocked it out of the park again independent man. My sister in law is a perfect example of ultra negative thinking. This radiates off her like a cheap smelly sunscreen

[@benbunyip]

haha., sounds like we’ve all got one in the family. 😂

[@NervousNoodles]

@@benbunyip I believe we do. I've got a sister who pretty much fits in the boat. People who scream about injustice against women - without realizing that the world has progressed so far for them to even have the right to scream about such problems. It sadly means that as the world progresses further, their problems will regress further in quality. One day they will be talking about how being white, male, straight is a sin. Oh wait...

[@proscreens2137]

@@NervousNoodles Your sister is ideologically possessed and no amount of clear irrefutable evidence to the contrary will persuade her. She is lost down the rabbit hole.

[@benbunyip]

@@NervousNoodles haha... yeah, do you remember when Serena Williams lost that US final. My sister was posting to her feminist mob how hard Serena has it . At the time I was in The Philippines and there were mothers sleeping on the streets with their babies. I was pretty sure who had it rougher.

[@NervousNoodles]

@@proscreens2137 Going down the woke rabbit hole has not only damaged her credibility, respect and reputation, but it also ruined her marriage. Whoever coined the phrase "Go woke, go broke" knew what they were talking about with regards to corporations and entities. On a personal level, the effects of going woke are more damaging.

[@jiveturkey9993]

I don't think they're stupid. I think they're evil.

[@Dragonrose36]

Well, at a certain point stupidity and evil become indistinguishable.

[@godfreypoon5148]

The Guardian (hahaha) has a page titled "Deaths Inside: Indigenous Australian Deaths in Custody" It's worth a read. Apparently a "death in custody" includes being killed in a car crash before police even arrive. In fact, out of the total 186 deaths they list, 25 of them were road accidents while "in custody". Strangely, none of them were in custody in police or prison vehicles... they were all in custody in their own vehicles or in the vehicles of friends. Not sure how that works, but I guess we just need to listen and believe.

[@alaricgoldkuhl155]

"If it bleeds, it leads." I prefer the Arnie quote. "If it bleeds, we can kill it." If only it were true.

[@SunRise-ul7ko]

Australia is stuffed.

One of my favourite youtubers has made it back into my feed.

[@davidalen9279]

Brilliant and right on point. I, too, never wanted to get dragged into politics, but at some point you simply must stand your ground and PUSH BACK. Good video. Deepest thanks.

[@notanotherguitarchannel]

The world is getting better because of advances in technology and industry that most people are trying to reverse. Imagine where we could be if they gave the heroes of progress the recognition that they deserve instead of treating them like the villains.

[@andrewnelson3681]

Excellent video. Thank you. Clear, sensible, rational thinking, which is evermore seriously endangered. We’re surrounded by fear of catastrophe from so many fabricated disaster scenarios. A superb book which delves deeply into these issues is “The master and his emissary “ by Iain McGilchrist.

[@stujd1539]

"Their ABC" sums up our "public" taxpayer funded broadcaster in a nutshell.

go to a regional area of Australia and see which group of people is breaking into your home.

[@SireSquish]

I was thinking "I haven't seen an Independent Man video in quite some time". Then I see "3 years ago".

[@jfeather72]

Another great piece IM. Logic, reason, facts...who knew there was such a thing.

Yay - I have been doing public speaking engagements at Probis Clubs and Rotary Clubs for the past two years - with exactly the same message. Audience jaws drop and they JUST DON'T KNOW - it is absolutely appalling. At least my kids have listened to me... they probably won't grow up neurotic, morose, entitled, depressed and anxious... fingers crossed. I have 3 talks next week so the struggle continues... what I have noticed over those two years is that people are sick to death of the media telling them what they should think, reporters giving opinions, reporters interviewing reporters... no wonder people are abandoning mainstream media.

[@yukey2587]

Glad to hear from you again. This was worth a second listen.

[@shanosantwanos3908]

Knockin it out the park like Tony Heller channel does with the climate agenda. Good on ya..

Tony Heller is embarrassing.

[@susanvanduyn2847]

A 'possibilist' has real grounds for their position, not just blind faith. You have coined a great word. Sincerely enjoyed this vid.

[@jezfrench9435]

I don't always agree with your viewpoints but I always find your content well researched and balanced 👍

[@ormarrsclaw.9857]

I think it depends on what the situations are. We have made great progress in the development of technology such as newer computers, phones, TVs, etc.. but at the same rate have massively regressed in regards to social acceptance examples of this would be things like some countries jailing people for "misgendering" someone, people being assaulted for having different political opinions, and the absolute shit storm that has been happening in the US for the last few years.

[@NervousNoodles]

"Possibilist". I'm stealing that.

[@kaosinc]

Just read an article in the Daily Mail..."Melbourne schools are urged to stop saying 'Mum or Dad' in a push to be more 'gender inclusive". Then read in the comments..."I am a 'Mum' and I earned that title. I do not want to be referred to in any other way." She was upvoted 2106 to the downvotes of just 8 people. It says a lot of how a small minority will get their way!

[@cyberserk5614]

Thank you for giving a shoutout for Hans Rosling (RIP)! Look upp his TED-talks.

[@sarjim4381]

"Possibilist" I'm going to send this off to the Oxford and Wbester's dictionary word teams to see If I can get it included as a new word. It completely expresses my own views on life, and there's never been a word for it that made sense. Yeah, I like "Possiblist".

[@hopebear06]

Brilliant! Thank you for putting in the work. So true.... Common sense ain't so common.

[@mayormccheese6171]

The ABC thinks because it sometimes talks about farming it represents all Australia. Most Australians understand this is not the case at all. It has been ideologically captured for decades and has gotten even worse in the last 10 years. Its riddled with critical theorists, overpaid technocrats, champagne socialists and embittered arts graduates.

[@kalypso4133]

'possiblist' I just call myself a realist and leave it at that.

[@wrekgaming8211]

My thoughts are that London used to be covered in a thick smog. Now there isn't (not as severe).

[@TheRealFollower]

Lol. It's so true that activist think everything is getting worse. It's rare to find someone who thinks things are getting better and just wants to speed it up.

My favorite idea is that climate change is so bad and destructive of ecosystems and economies that the poorest regions of the world are the only ones experiencing a population boom these days.

This looks like chaos theory. If an entity can create enough chaos in your life and surroundings.... then people will sacrifice their rights and freedoms to have order or some peace. Out of chaos... order.

[@thechloromancer3310]

Common sense was never particularly common.

[@TheBasicTruth]

It all comes down to being able to think things through. Some people can, some people try to and the rest couldn't give a cow's commission, so they don't bother to think things through. That bereft complex bunch of non-thinkers follow their leaders who, likewise, can't be bothered thinking. I am not highly intelligent and way back before I learnt how to think, I found thinking very hard, but I tried to learn. Today, I know I can think and looking back on my 70+ years, I've never been lazy either. Doesn't that make you think?

[@carlostommybaggs5763]

Maybe you have the same issue that we do in the UK. Activists here are part of a mostly left wing block, that would for instance prefer to talk about black men getting longer prison sentences due to imaginary legislation or bigotry, rather than the actual laws and policies that lead to men getting harsher sentences than women committing the same crimes. It's in all areas too, we have charity appeals here for money to educate little girls on the far side of the planet, yet each year boys graduate our schools by the thousand who are barely able to read their Mum's tattoos. Activists are generally ignorant as you say, but they are usually very keen on hiding other more important issues, Like the global warming alarmists who won't admit the planet was once much hotter than it is now, as well as much colder as in the last ice-age.

[@paulwary]

Agree with a lot of this. Your data of forest cover sounds suspect to me (ie "more forest cover now than 25 years ago"). Where did this figure come from? Is it like for like, or are you counting eg timber plantations as equivalent to native forest? And is there really true forest on these 'reforested' lands, or has it merely changed formal status from 'cultivated' to (eg) 'forested', or some such?

[@petermaquine8173]

There is answer to your question, but Karl Popper which has tried to talk about it, but he explained that it is one things people never heart him about. There is a method to think the world invented by Plato and later by Aristotle called Essentialism (I use the name used by Popper in The open society and its enemies ). Fundamentally it cuts the words from the properties of the things to which they point to. Words become the knowledge and are attached to feelings. Popper says that they start from the language, the words and then try to make sense of the world, but it doesn't work without properties, so they fall back their emotion to give meanings. The other like me and you we look at the properties of things, try to understand and then we will put a word on it. For them hate-speech has no properties, it doesn't need one, negative emotion are its properties. Bell curve for them is racist, for us it's a distribution law. I'm curious, what are you gonna do, now that you aware of that knowledge? Well as the sign say Ignorance is bliss. Essentialism is worse than I.Q, people who use 'common sense' refuse to believe that a part of humanity has another way to think the world. I just check it seems people have start to wake up. If you don't believe me newdiscourses.com/2021/02/essentialism-logical-fallacy-plaguing-us-since-plato/

[@thepvporg]

It doesn't matter what evidence that you bring to the table, your words are falling on deaf ears because once a person who is closed minded makes their mind up, there is no changing it. My Ex is a prime example of this problem, routinely she will cherry pick on words and restate your sentence as something completely different and then claim that you said it despite your comment is actually the opposite of what they claim. She did this recently with me and I pointed out what I had actually said, to which she immediately disagreed despite me recounting exact words to her in the way it was said and not what she thought I said. So the woke are an example of this... your arguments to them are like sweeping water up hill with a leaf rake. Going nowhere and futile. Talking to people who listen and understand is a different matter, they are few and far between.

[@schrokittyschrokatzerl1050]

Post post script: i do agree for the record that activists tend to have massively inaccurate views of world affairs.

[@crossjay]

Patsy dear, what Americans call 'baloney' we in Australia call 'devon'. The colloquial use of 'baloney' to mean 'nonsense' is overwhelmingly American, so you're using a colloquialism imported from America to try to make people think that an excuse for anti-white behaviour that was imported from America, wasn't. Also, what on earth is a 'chance to elevate an issue like this'? What was stopping everybody every hour of every day when there was no George Floyd and no C19?

[@bulletprooftiger1879]
