[@vtecsti]

She has evolved as of recently and broken out of the echo chamber. When the world gets absurd enough, many people begin to dig deeper.

[@vargonian]

I think this is more a reflection of polarized media than anything else; in these comments I see a lot of people coming from the same preconceived notions about her.

[@vtecsti]

@@vargonian Yeah, agreed. People tend to tune out. I wouldn’t know CNN and MSNBC stopped being state propaganda because I have tuned out. I only watch clips and look at their articles through an archiver to call out their absurdity. Ana really started thinking about her bias during the Rittenhouse trial. Was pretty dope to see. When someone that admits their own bias begins to open up, people should support and encourage it. In the end, the truth is all that matters. The truth always finds the light, but unfortunately it often takes years.

17:00 Being a small time landlord myself (3 units) the story of her dad hit home. I think many people think that landlords pocket all the money a tenant pays in rent, but there are so many expenses tied to a property that you cannot simply choose to not pay as the owner, fixed expenses and maintenence. Not to mention the hours you spend yourself managing the property.. It is supposed to make a certain profit considering you are spending parts of your life facilitating that others have a place to live

Nuanced conversations are awesome!

[@colemanalbright7134]

I was homeless a few years back. I also have mental illness. If anyone had offered me shelter then, I too would have refused it. The freedom of being outdoors is much less stress-inducing than the paranoia of being indoors with my own thoughts.

I've tried to watch her show over and over and she's unbelievably intolerable. I've watched half a dozen interviews and debates she's been on, and I love her. It makes me think she plays a character on her show, like a wrestler, but as a person I love her takes.

[@TH-lo8mq]

She's only been playing up her "character" in recent history probably due to TYT having financial trouble and feeling the need to generate more clicks for them. If you watch clips from, say, pre-2015 or so, she is less angry.

[@Borrelaas]

[@danieljankowski3849]

Absolutely amazing interview! I am an independent, and also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I have lived in very liberal and very conservative areas all over the country and I sincerely appreciate learning perspectives from both sides of the aisle. Historically, I have listened to more conservative leaning podcasts, but periodically I have watched interviews by the young turks. I haven’t heard Mrs. Kasparian as much in the past, but I appreciate her candor and honesty. Many conservative and liberal talkshow hosts simply seem to parrot party talking points, and rarely will agree with the other side, or admit when they are wrong. We need more people like this, if our country is going to come together. I believe the vast majority of conservatives, independents, and liberals actually are good people and want a better country to live in. We have to learn to listen to one another. This really opened my eyes to another perspective I don’t hear enough! Thank you

It's been refreshing witnessing the evolution of Ana's outlook in politics and society. We need more people calling bullshit on both sides of the political aisle.

That was great! I love listening to Ana because she’s not an ideologue. It’s been helpful for me to hear her talk about coming together with people on the “other side.” Like her, I have found that getting to know people in real life is incredibly helpful. With social media-it feels so much easier to just sort people. But when you interact in person, you really do get to know them in a completely different way.

So she just gets a free pass like Ben to whip everyone into a frenzy? These are political actors who want a free paycheck off the backs of hardworking americans who actually work on the causes that make change in America. Ana like Ben, Destiny, Hasan, Tucker, you name it are all actors nothing they say will change policy or make a difference but they are great distractions from the real issue. I'm glad you were reminded that not everyone in America hates each other but start to realize that all these people including Graham Stephan are playing you like rubes.

[@kevinkirk5105]

Ana used to be far more left but has moved right post Covid. In a way she kinda woke up

[@issadraco532]

yeah.. well, you weren't wrong. she was the one that used to be in the wrong, and now she has learned and changed her ways. the contrast is actually pretty crazy to see. i remember the footage of her from like a decade ago after trump got elected, and she genuinely looked like she was a crazy unhinged and extremely miserable and unhappy frigid witch. now she looks like a normal healthy and happy individual and appears to be relaxed and likeable and kind. it's almost as if a weight was lifted off her shoulders as she ditched her fellow deranged leftists that were holding her back and trying to control her thoughts and keep her miserable alongside them. i didn't watch this whole thing, but from hearing the way that she speaks, she seems to have genuinely woken up and decided to come back into the real world, so i don't even think that most people would disagree with her about a majority of topics anymore. she seems to have gained the ability to deal in facts and reality, so i think that if someone actually took the time to go through each topic one by one and break them down properly, she would most likely concede on most of the points. it's pretty clear that we're not dealing with someone that only changed an opinion about a single topic, but that she now instead genuinely sees the world from a different perspective. because otherwise there's no way that she would be committing the equivalent of leftist blasphemy with criticisms for the way that leftists went full-blown defund the police and lawlessness and disorder and open borders and unlimited abortions on demand after nine months and "uterus-wielding specimen" buzzwords and "america bad, orange man bad" and these types of crazy things if she hadn't somehow managed to actually come to the realization that she used to be totally clueless and wrong and most likely now feels embarrassed about not just the large amount of silly things that she said in the past but also the way that she used to express herself which made her sound like a very angry and bitter and miserable unhinged witch. so yeah, good for her. we can only hope that other people that are stuck in that parallel leftist universe see her and go like "oh wow i always liked anna, why is she out here suddenly saying these things, maybe she's right, maybe i should listen to her" and follow her example. or if those people changing their views sounds like unrealistic wishful thinking, then maybe at the very least they could continue to listen to her so that they are able to get a small break from the leftist propaganda and get whatever small bits of truth and reality that she is able to provide.

[@yelnatsch517]

Dang, Ana has come such a long way. I’m glad she’s looking at points in much more nuanced way because the world is indeed not black and white. The world is incredibly complicated and there’s a very good reason that as people age, they become more conservative. No, it’s not because the Overton window shifts or because older generations hold more conservative views. In respect to their own views, as people age, their views change to become more conservative. The reason is because people start to better understand the world and see it for how it really operates, while children tend to see the world in an overly simplistic way. I have to wonder if her father didn’t go through that experience during Covid whether Ana would have changed her views on landlords. Most people require having to personally experience things in their lives for their eyes to open. I’m glad Ana is finally starting to open her eyes.

[@nicfirebear]

I always chuckle when conservatives give themselves the most charitable explanation of why an average person would become more conservative over time instead of also exploring the less flattering data driven explanations. The “getting wiser/more experienced” explanation forgets the critical attribute of the average American/person is largely uneducated and will not become more educated as they get older. We’re talking HS and lower. So if they’re not becoming more educated/knowledgeable, what unflattering explanation might better explain gradual conservatism? Easy. Selfishness. If you think about the size of the community liberals want to take care of/be concerned with when they are younger, it’s absolutely larger and more inclusive. When they get older and have more earning potential, there’s more of a selfish incentive to slam the door and make a decision on perceived choice between them and “others”. This explanation gets around the fact that most people are uneducated and will not become “smarter/wiser” and can explain the well known psychological phenomenon of “I got mine, good luck.” 🤷‍♂️

[@GrandpaBaner]

​@@nicfirebearschool makes you smarter on specific subjects. You seem to be valuing school so much to the point that you are looking down on people who don't go to college. You don't need to go to school to get a better understanding of how the world works and how to live out in the real world.

[@Fairdemand554]

Ana does this stupid song and dance when she goes to more conservative podcasts, but she is just as outrageous and hostile as ever when among her peers on the young Turks. Her redemption arc is greatly overstated by the right.

[@RaymondStone]

@@nicfirebear I agree with the sentiment, but I'll slightly reiterate it in a more concise way. People becoming more conservative with age has a lot less to do with supposedly understanding the world better than it does the self-preservation instinct that comes with accumulating resources with age. When it comes to human beliefs and behavior, I always believe the selfish explanation over the charitable explanation.

[@nicfirebear]

@@GrandpaBaner thank you for missing the concept as it makes my point even more for me. Schooling does not just make you smarter in certain subjects, it's also indicative of your learning ability, understanding capability and attainment. This is something that those who couldn't attain higher education do not like to acknowledge, understandably. There's an overwhelming correlation between higher IQ and advanced educational attainment as well as the same for lower IQ's and lack of educational attainment. The average IQ of Americans with HS or less attainment is less than ~95. Those with graduate degrees is over ~125. Politically the average liberal is 106 and the average conservative is ~94. This a is massively stark contrast where for instance, one individual understands complex concepts of market forces and geopolitics affect on oil & gas market prices... and a simpletons understanding that "pwesident make gas go $$$." Now this doesn't account for "outliers" like a high IQ conservative HS graduate, but outliers aren't a norm or even common, their outliers for a reason. We stick to trends and multiple correlations that explain the bulk of the data. So while you don't "NEED" to go to understand the world better, (you'd be an outlier/statistical anomaly) you will have LARGELY statistically gone to higher learning if you understand the world concepts better. The more you know... ♥

I was surprised by Ana a few months ago when I heard her speak openly about some things she believes she was wrong about. She has impressed me even though I still disagree with her on a lot of issues. As we age, we generally become more conservative because we see how things really are instead of how we want things to be. The parties are more divided now than at any time I can remember (52 y/o) but people like Ana are helping to bridge that divide.

[@henrytep8884]

“We see how things are instead of how we want things to be” is a cope answer for old people who generation ruined it for the coming generation more than it is some epistemic, ontological conclusion on how the world works. Collect your retirement, it’s ok that the collected you generation is leaving the USA worse off than how your parents left it to you.

[@12345678bobster]

Yep, that is 100% a fact of life. The older you get, the more likely you are to become conservative for the exact reasons you mentioned. Which is also why I find it a very dangerous idea to lower the voting age to 16 (which the left is trying to do), because young people just don't have a clue about many things (zero life experience, have never paid taxes, don't know how systems work, etc...). And obviously one can see why the left would want 16 year olds to vote, because they will be the ones voting for the left (and their often times unrealistic/utopian views).

I’ve followed Ana and TYT for almost two decades. This is the best interview I’ve seen, very well done!

[@BrandonMirrors]

Ana Kasparian is the prime example of how one's politics change when their politics start affecting them. Left or right, she's just a solid example.

[@mikemaroyi7756]

Yup you’re right she got a taste of her own medicine in real life

[@12345678bobster]

You can see it's a mix of seeing the negative policies affecting her directly (like her parents being landlords, being attacked by homeless people, etc), as well as the typical effect that when people grow older they usually tend to become more conservative because they see the reality of how the world works, compared to the youthful naiveness/utopian view of what they think/thought life is. For example, on paper, communism sounds great, it would be such a beautiful world. However, it's utopian and will never work, because humans are different. Not everyone is equal in ability, equal in looks, equal in intelligence, equal in creativity, equal in *insert anything here*. And if you have unequal people, you'll have unequal outcomes, and no amount of regulation/forced taxation/etc. can ever make things "equal for everyone". Once a person realizes this simple fact, it changes your views on a lot of things. There's always going to be poor people, middle class people, rich people etc.

[@blackops2096]

It's really funny how it takes for her to be the victim of the machine was apart of, to change her views of so many things.

[@foddersfollies7494]

A simple rule on how to determine if someone is guilty of an 'ism" or "bigotry" is to ask yourself one question. Does your opinion on the alleged offense change based on the person who is committing it? If the answer to that question is "yes", then odds are that the person is not guilty of the alleged offense.

[@iBlameNile]

Great interview and appreciate how she is not conforming to certain ideologies and carving her own path. 👏🏼

[@MeZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZ]

This show has way too many fucking ads/sponsors. Takes away from the show.

[@taylorbarnard4880]

She seems to be moving towards the right, or more like being shoved towards the center from the far left which makes me slightly more respectful of her views.

[@franklegarda6510]

I see her in a different light and I respect her even more out of all the people on our channel she's the only one I trust

[@msmong123]

I have always said no matter if I agree with you or not if you actually had your own thought and not say what the tv /KZbin told you too I have 100% respect for you

[@Gio-nl7eg]

Still rubs me the wrong way all the lies she endorsed back in the day like the way she handled the Kyle Rittenhouse case

[@moaj9996]

As a conservative, people like Ana are who I want the political left to become like. Respectful, kind, self-aware, and will take a stand for those who have no voice in society.

[@sevensages5279]

You should probably take care of your own side before you go and demand anything on the other side! 🧐🧐🧐

[@moaj9996]

@@sevensages5279 but what does “taking care of your side even mean”. I simply mean for our society to shift away from anger and towards respect. I’ve found myself agreeing more with liberal ideals when the ideas were presented by compassionate voices rather than getting bashed over the head with guilt. Same thing with conservative ideals.

[@vinnym5607]

You want people you can buy off. That's exactly what Ana is.

[@slaptheaskshow130]

Respectful debates and disagreement. Love to see the variety of guests.

[@SnappyWasHere]

I think she speaks for so many of us. Not way left or right. In the middle and have to think about each issue separately. I wish our leaders would do that.

[@hstephens78]

Where is this Ana on The Young Turks?!?!?!? She was delightful and downright reasonable in this interview!!! It's almost as if she's playing the character of a shrieking ideologue on her regular show. Or, maybe this was the character, but I hope not!

[@AlexPerazaTV]

She is super biased

[@michelleschroeder9015]

If you have a lease how is it ever a squatter?? Great interview!! Appreciate honest conversation!! Keep it up!

[@kaylawatson8540]

Wow officially a fan of Ana ❤ she’s beautiful, caring, and smart.. great interview guys ❤❤

[@josephharty5048]

I disagree with Ana, but have much respect for her.

[@hfonseca1000]

Best episode no joke

[@MrRamguerrero22]

Please do a part 2 with Ana.

[@dannygithinji7370]

Love you guys and I have always always loved how Anna isn’t an idiologue… she’s the only one at TYT I love to listen to

[@michael7054]

Great video! My favorite part of the whole video 1:31:18 😂😂😂

[@KorbyLenker]

Really appreciated seeing this side of Ana. Smart person who cares about people and the country. Willing to speak highly of opponents like Shapiro. quotes Jonathan Haidt. Really she's an old school lefty and there's a lot to like there.

[@lmiles169]

Good show

[@teresabittiker2824]

Thank you for supporting small landlords. Often people on the left have no understanding of this.

[@oeckstei]

A good quote I heard, "be disciplined with yourself and tolerant of others".

[@Phoebonaccii]

It's not on Spotify yet. Why

[@357Anthem]

I disagree with Ana on most topics but totally respect her POV and insights. Thanks for having her

[@sunny_lis7135]

I really enjoyed how honest she was and I do agree with trying to see people as individuals and not assume ill intent right off the bat just bc they're you're political opponent or whatever... I'm trying to do the same now. I think it would be good if we all tried that a little bit more.

[@bustertn2014]

One of the specific reasons why US health insurance costs so much along with the drugs, is specifically that in places like Canada, and Europe, they have price caps and somewhere the companies have to make up that cost.

[@LuckyDingle1]

I love Ana because I don't agree with her 90% of the time but she's real, and authentic enough that its refreshing and I'm happy to hear her perspective.

[@nkeet89]

I really enjoy her outside of TYT she's great to listen to.

[@bumrush5314]

Good shit

[@ramonegraham7644]

Her word associations were perfect!
