From the Left to Sanity | Amala Ekpunobi | EP 317

Dr Jordan B Peterson and Amala Ekpunobi discuss her early life being raised in a far left household, the instances that caused her to question the all-encompassing ideology she had been fed, and her rise to providence as an internet and podcast personality, advocating for the truth across party lines.
Raised in a far-left activist household, twenty-two-year-old Amala Ekpunobi was once a student organizer for the left. Unanswered questions-and a search for the truth-led her to a complete ideological transformation. Passionately sharing her new conservative values online, Amala became a viral social media sensation. Now the host of PragerU’s popular show “Unapologetic with Amala,” she inspires millions of young people every day to discover the truth, defend their values, and lead better lives.

“You dont love the poor, you just hate the rich” Perfect quote describing a lot of people in our society

[@Mike_Daddy]

My mother used scripture, particularly "It's harder for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven," to justify her jealousy of wealth.

[@nancyinthegarden3160]

same happened in my country Venezuela where i am from, they are destroying usa by dividing people in this case using racism, feminism. to create chaos is what the left does to gain power.

[@nankypooh655]

I remember seeing an "Anarchist" cartoon spoofing Robin Hood after his band of "Merry Men" robbed some millionaires. Little John turns to Robin Hood and asks when do they give what they robbed to the poor. Robin Hood replied that they don't give their money to the poor, but they simply give the poor the satisfaction that the rich were robbed.

[@Zimtbiss1]

I found a brillant quote in a video ("Victor Davis Hanson: Biden is the most dangerously radical President in US history" at 30:08 there ), a real eye-opener to me: „So i think that the republican party finally is shedding this image that it‘s a bunch of white guys on a gulf course putting around and talking about capital gaines and privatizing social security. And it’s a party of the middle class in contrast to the democratic party that despises the white working class we know but really the entire working class and is a party of very very wealthy people, the Bill Gates', the Warren Buffets, the Zuckerbergs, the Bloombergs, and then the subsidized lower middle class and poor. And so they don’t care about the middle class. They feel they lack the romance of the poor and they don’t have the cultural sophistication of the wealthy and they make fun of them at 360 degrees, 24/7.“ (I hope I didn't make to many typos in this quote.) I think it's the same here in Germany, with our social democratic party SPD and the leftist party.

I generally agree with almost everything J. Peterson says, but I see problems with his use of the word "belief." For example, I know that planet Earth is not flat, but it is not my belief. It is a fact. So if in talking to him, I would never say that I believe anything. You need to verify everything, but not believe.

That is an extremely important point. There are people that go from job to to job because they are very good at talking employers into hireing them.

cheers to you. stay strong on those ideals you have. remember the left may have a few points down, but are so entangled in radical activism, that the classically good points they brought to the table are strangled from being applicable. like, war is bad, people should be free and happy. now even those 2 points are twisted upside down. The current arguments they have are all debunkable if they dare to explore the inconvenient truths they stop short of.

[@bro_kevin]

@@Hakton802 It was a typo, thanks much ;)

[@terry63lee]

the problem with the concept of immorality is that it has always been assumed even since the time of Adam & Eve that people actually have a choice or intelligence. and in order to make an intelligent choice, you have to have intelligence. if you don't have a sufficient amount of intelligence, how the heck are you going to make an intelligent choice?? society judges people of low intelligence as if they purposefully chose to be born with low I.Q.s. what madness!! higher intelligence (a.k.a. the Freudian superego) requires a certain distancing from instinctive impulses which reside in our subconscious minds, but if that part of the brain is damaged, how is the judge going to make sound judgement?? the chief of the tribe or the king of a kingdom used to decide what was moral and what was immoral or wrong. then the churches began to make that decision. and then finally a democratic majority of citizens began making that decision. the concepts of morality & immorality had evolved over the centuries. but now, in our present political climate, we have all been brainwashed into thinking that we are still living in medieval times. that's two steps backwards from progress or two steps down on the ladder to heaven. never downplay another person's suffering and belittle them. always have compassion for those who are less than you. for one day you may be in their shoes.

I was pretending to be a leftist for a longtime too, and I was self loathing and lacked confidence the entire time. My anger was all derived from not being able to see a way forward. I lashed out at normality. I refused to conform. But Then I started getting paychecks. I was able to get my license and bought a car and obtained my freedom. I expanded my circle of friends and was shown a fresh perspective. I realized leftist are bonkers. A normal life became exciting after I established some kind of control over my own life. I grew up. All we have to do is make good choices and start improving ourselves. Be the best version of ourselves. Its never too late to make the right choice and develop a routine. If everyone who was able did that, society would heal itself. We'd be unstoppable.

[@BabyAmels1]

Agreed! In my teenage years I used to be very leftist but changed as soon as I moved around the country and met many different people, started working towards my goals, and developed a life for myself. Also didn't have religion at the time and thought arrogantly that as a human I was strong enough to take on life by myself. I can see it in my younger self that leftist thinking is a great way to fit into a "group think" and have some sort of identity. But identity based on blame and victim hood is a very unstable and bitter existence. Glad we were all able to see a way out and take control of our own lives 🙌

[@elliewall7621]

I really admire Amala's willingness to self reflect. It has enabled her to be humble enough to logically analyze the beliefs that she had been immersed in all of her life, and to change her mind without demeaning others who still believe those things. I pray she never loses that humility. It is a beautiful, godly attribute.

In about 1986 I, as a male career US Marine, currently a police officer decided to take a "Women's Studies" class to find out what the major issues, from their perspective, were. The first incident took place during a group project. My partner for the project was a very attractive young blonde. She was annoyed that she was being treated like a stereotypical dumb blonde by the female professor. A while later there was a "Self Defense for Women" session. As it just so happens I'd taught the exact same class as a police officer. But no .... I had to leave the classroom in order to protect some sort of secret techniques no male should be privy to. At the time WOKE wasn't a term but in retrospect it's obvious the professor was.

It's easy when they agree and support one anothers' agendas. I've seen JP in a very different mode when debating opponents. I understand how difficult it is to hold one's temper when one's precious thoughts are challenged, rightly or wrongly. But to paraphrase Jesus, if we love and do good to our friends only, from whom we expect to receive the same in return, what credit is that to us?? Evil people can do the same. Jesus is ALWAYS right. Jordan doesn't know that yet. He only dabbles around 'religion'. That dabbling has nothing whatsoever to do with Christianity or the historical role of the Church. It is a waste of time.

[@christinehills3929]

This was very helpful to me. Jordan hit the nail on the head over and over and over again, and did such a thorough and effective job of explaining so very much that is crucial and vital to understand and understand about yourself, as well as pivotal in addressing and acknowledging exactly what is going on with oneself via introspection armed with some truthful knowledge that plays the key role in solving one’s own problems, helping to identify and understand them well enough to then be able to begin resolving the internal struggles one has, by recognizing what they are, specifically. Jordan did an outstanding job in giving reasonable viable solutions, as well, to such problems and struggles, by explaining the nature of them, and providing an alternative perspective to one’s current one, that will actually help, because it is based in truthful knowledge, as well as logic and reason. I got an incredible amount of insight into my own self, as well as, my own struggles and problems, and where I’ve gone fundamentally wrong in my own attempts to deal with my own struggles and challenges and problems. This was extremely helpful to me, on a very personal level. I am looking forward to watching and listening to more of Jordan. as someone with some intelligence myself, I am able to clearly understand everything he is saying, and really absorb the clear concise and very well spoken and very well thought out message he is carrying. and everything he said aligned 100% with my own thoughts on the subject matter. I do recognize about myself now, after having watched and listened to Jordan, that I am someone that can far more easily apply such knowledge and understanding in a practical manner to others, than I am able to practically apply to my own self and my own life. This was very helpful to me because it helped me to see how much I have been out of touch with my own personal self and my personal problems and highly disconnected from what is actually at the core of my own personal problems and how I’ve been unable to solve them because my own understanding of them was inadequate. I am hoping now, with better understanding of them, I will be more able to help myself, and better equipped to handle them. Thank you so much Jordan. and it is always wonderful to listen to Amala, she is an incredibly bright and intelligent young lady, and wise beyond her years. Always a pleasure. I will be watching you both more and am looking forward to the personal gains I will reap from doing so. Thank you so much.

I finally realized that money alone is a terrible measurement for success and that fulfillment and happiness is how I am going to measure success going forward.

What a remarkable young woman! I wish I had been half as smart when I was 22 years-old.

[@braxtonagee412]

Right? Lord, was I a hopeless dumbass when I was her age. Still am, I suppose, but at least I'm self-aware. She's a smart, capable and poised kid. Let's hope she goes onto great things.

I was intelligent when I was her age but in retrospect clueless about politics. And she is highly articulate whilst I could never speak like her.

she is adorable

[@JMBBrasil]

Me too

[@echo-channel77]

Absolutely. She's also one of those gems who hold both high levels of wisdom and intelligence. Remarkable, indeed!
