Bruh this is literally a gen Z debate. 😂

[@JoeARedHawk275]

The reason is because they hire media trained conservatives, conservatives from think tanks and special interests groups, and online conservative personalities who know how to derail conversations and try to evoke anger. The people, mostly conservatives, that they invite are not there to change their minds. They are making money from their views. That’s not to say the liberals they invite don’t have those, but once you learn about the real way in which America operates and combined with Jubilee casting choices, it’s very clear why the conversations in their videos keep getting derailed.

[@h1jen1x]

[@Trail_Cairn]

Agreed, good point. Everyone starts out as a a liberal democrat in their youth (mom/dad why doesn’t the gov’t just give everyone a million dollars and everyone will be happy). Then the parent, education, and real life take root and people understand how the world works. It makes sense that the fact that if only voters of 45+ voted in the past couple elections, ALL 50 states would be Republican. To restate, if only those 45 and older were allowed to vote, every single state would be 100% republican. To put in perspective, think of when you were 10 years younger, are you smarter/wiser now or then? Would you rather make decisions with your current knowledge or that of your younger self?

[@Dev_KG]

100% and I think the young married mom was a wonderful representative of that exact point. She's not that much older, but her life experience gives her a decade's worth more practical knowledge of the world.

@@Trail_Cairnlove this comment!

[@rodgens1195]

@@Trail_Cairn I kind of agree, to a point. I don't think they start out liberal at all. The family system is a cross between an autocracy and socialism. Everything being given to them they need, but the parents being the king or queen. As far as them growing up to be Republican, if that was true, we all would be now. But our experiences do have an effect on where we are. I was a Republican, but 100% disagree with Trump who I do not in any way see him as a conservative in any way. So, I guess it depends on your definition of Republican to start with. Of course I would rather make serious decisions now than when I was young. When I was younger, I voted more with a hive mind mentality. Now I look and want the best solutions for the whole country, not a single subset of the citizens only. I see the whole picture of our place in the world as well as in the country. When I was younger, I saw only where I was.

This is a loan and an investment, with the goal being American security as this poor smart young guy whose uncle died from 9/11 understands- the danger of radical Islam, jihadism and Islamism is not a joke.

[@emanuelzbeda1420]

Gen Z liberal here. One thing I would love to see in left-of-center institutions is a comparable devotion to scrutiny of non-Western societies. Western Hegemony and Western influence like any form of power has pros and cons, and I've witnessed a complete monopoly of attention devoted to denigrating the West through selective attention to its failures. I have seen no comparable requisites about, for example, the dangers of political Islamism or the negative qualities of other political systems or ways of life. This, I think, has blinded us to the urgency of issues abroad, such as slavery. Those issues (particularly slavery) seem to me to take higher priority than the issues we debate in the culture wars, not that those issues aren't also important.

[@JackMSheridan]

You don't see comparable critiques because they have been taught a false alternative history that presents all non whites as victims, so they are simply ignorant of the realty outside the west. In Nyc, my public school education teaches that all 3 “major” religions are basically the same, when one of those blatantly advocates for the killing of apostates. That liberal delusion

Yes and that explains why some of the comments from girl in the suit and dude in blue polo shirt were completely from online (problematic) people even if they made some good points, but blue polo shirt didn’t know how to defend his opinions or cite facts and actually spread misinformation. The US does NOT “give” more money to Israel than anyone first of all that would be America then Ukraine talking about where funds go but also it’s stipulated defense money only that goes to Israel and they have to buy from American-made companies as part of that stipulation, it literally creates American jobs and of course the mainstream media completely fails to share this completely factual information. Sam in the grey suit was best able to defend his positions with history and fact rather than just talking appoints and opinions. I was sad to hear his uncle died from 9/11. That explains why he’s so passionate about national security and sees a big connection between protecting Israel and protecting America, which I agree with him on.

[@duneeaaasha]

This is true for those of us who were in highschool during or after COVID. I graduated in 2019 and my experience is VERY different from my younger siblings. When I was their ages I was always out, sadly everyone their age is closed off and we’re only a few years apart.

[@waynestock2006]

@duneeaaasha obviously my point of view is from someone who is about twice your age. Our worlds and childhood is much different, and we can only speak to our experiences. I have two sons, one 18 and one 19, so my opinion is based on observation. When I was 19 I moved out of town, went o college on my own, and the only way we could see our friends was to leave the house. What that does is force interaction with random people without the ability to hide behind the firewall of a text/DM/(insert seclusion facilitating device of choice). But I take your point, the younger GEN Z kids are at even more of a disadvantage.

[@judeseibel5909]

I’m 19 and while I think social media is definitely having a huge negative impact like you said. Another factor I think is car culture and suburbia which I think compacts on that negative impact that social media has on socialization. For example if I’m looking visibly depressed I feel like someone is infinitely more likely to reach out and try to help if I’m walking, biking, or taking public transport. I’ve been to Mexico and France which are places where they have really strong community structures which are a byproduct of their great walkable communities. I think the difference this has on everyone for the better is staggering.

[@waynestock2006]

@judeseibel5909 I can see that. It forces people out of seclusion. I grew up in the street racing scene so we were always out in our cars, but the intent was to use the car to draw attention. As opposed to just riding solo with no social interaction. Public transportation will definitely build interpersonal skills.

Really enjoying this series. One thing I noticed as they were speaking, is that the younger members of the panel had tremendous difficulty making eye contact, and a very hard time speaking with conviction. My older kids (two in college now) had their early high school years messed up by covid, and there was a definite record scratch in a crucial moment of social interaction. Mine happened to be ok long-term, but I have seen so many kids their age have ongoing consequences from that period of their lives. On this panel, they really tended to withdraw (I'm thinking of the two younger girls on the left and the boy to the front on the right) and only speak up when specifically asked, whereas the older panelists were more willing to offer and expand upon their views. I know some of that is just age and seasoning in the real world, but this micro-generation of lockdown seems especially affected.

Also…. I hate to say this but it’s a huge concern: are these kids on anxiolytics or antidepressants, or both?

[@duneeaaasha]

I graduated high school in 2019, I have 4 younger siblings and I got to see firsthand how much COVID ruined the younger side of the generation. My sisters 16, we’re really close so I see her friends often. She got into a fight with them and was so worried because she has no other friends, I asked her how do you have no other friends and she said after COVID everyone changed, became closed off. People turned into small groups, 2-4 friends, and nobody else. When I was 16, I was always out and meeting new people, I became friends or at least acquaintances with hundreds of people during my teenage years. People used to go out, throw parties, bonfires, and just hang out with random kids in the community. It is so different for my sister, she’s an outgoing person and she can’t find anyone her age to match that. It’s so sad to me.

It would be so coo to check in with these people after about ten years of life experience. Particularly the woman who claims to be strapped into corporate life by an overly-individualistic society. I’m married with two kids and rely on my husband’s income to feed our family; we homestead and all. I can’t imagine and don’t wish to impose this structure across the board-I can assure her it’s slightly harder than being a single woman with a full-time job and benefits. I’m only able to watch a video like this and post (my first ever) KZbin comments because my husband is on a lunch break. She is clearly fresh off a difficult few years and seems especially defensive. I’d be curious to speak with her. She invokes the ‘50s, a time when there were fewer people in the country competing over more resources whose immediate and extended families lived nearby to help raise kids. My grandmother, Catholic, had ten children and struggled greatly, even with the help of her family. Today, you’ll need more than just robot compassion to turn on and off in order to foster relationships with your neighbors who you will rely on to help you and who will most likely mention the word abortion at some point, possibly not in the connotation she prefers. Anyway. Good luck to her. As far as the policy talk goes…there’s a new movement across the country’s institutions and businesses that are leaving DEI policies behind due to utter lack of return, maintaining or implementing only the ones that show improvement in positive outcomes ie in consumer base and workplace culture. These Republicans sound like much of the right wing internet that has come to rely on “woke” outrage to fuel their fire. Most of the country is ready to move forward. The majority of the founding fathers (versus signers) were in fact not religious and cite the use of the word God with the most calculated intention, certainly not with the idea to impose a universal demagoguery. Religious freedom etc. Where’s our libertarian?

I'm a right winger. But i find myself super proud of the 2 liberal girls in the black. And intrigued. The tan suit conservative girl contradicted herself. She said it was so hard to be a single ambitious woman and that it sucked. Then she said women have it easier than men. We don't. And she is in for a rude awakening. Women her age are expected to compete with men. AND they're expected to be mothers and take care of the home and family. Not to mention the physical part of being a woman. The dude in the gray suit was very well spoken. And he was the best looking in the whole group.

[@AlysiaRosen]

I’m conservative (in the Nikki Haley school) and agree! And I loved the guy with the white shirt grey suit

[@djsrage1305]

Th guy that you mentioned brought up how men die at work at a disproportionate rate compared to women. Also how males make up 80% of the suicide rate. Can you ask yourself, if being a man isn’t as hard as being a woman why would men kill themselves 3 to 4 times more than women do? I also want to bring up once he brought up the suicide rate for me they instantly shifted to the next topic. That is a microcosm of the issue played out in real time. Not only are men’s lives so difficult, in every instance you can imagine when bringing up the issue it gets disregarded or shifted to “women have it worse.”

[@7782estesm]

This girl wants to go back to the 1950’s. She obviously has no clue how hard people worked in the 1950’s…..especially housewives. Things are not perfect, but life has never been more comfortable than it is today.

[@WestonMeyer-n6x]

You can’t get the safety and community of the 1950s in today’s world no matter how hard you work. Even the fake government structured communities that Roosevelt and Clinton created are falling apart as this county is invaded and drugs destroy everything else. Working hard in the 1950s was largely a matter of pride and trying to be at least as good as your parents if not better. You cannot remotely compare anything in the 2020s to the 1950s, hell RFK Jr has proven that the 1970s were VASTLY better than the 2020s and the 1950s were much better than that.

The aid that the US gives to Israel is conditional on it buying American and Israeli weapons that are manufactured in America. This is not assistance. It's not free money. It's a credit!! A loan!!

[@ilsa_xo]

Not to mention Israel has earned its keep and puts themselves on the line physically. They don't sit around waiting for US soldiers to appear and defend them. They all serve in the military. And to add to that, Israeli scientists are currently working on ending Parkinsons Disease, they offer us medical advancements and technology, along with the military intel to keep us safe. Don't expect polo-wearing wannabe Roman Catholic white nationalists to understand any of this. They follow the likes of Candace Owens.

[@Dev_KG]

[@AlysiaRosen]

Correct. That gives Americans jobs and makes Americans moneys. And not just the elites!!!

[@alysiaduemler2221]

Yep it’s shocking what people don’t know. Fact check: America does not “give” Israel more money than any other country including America. America does spend the most on America directly but second has been Ukraine. Additionally it’s not “giving money.” For Israel it’s specifically funds going to military equipment and defense only, they can’t use it for anything else and it’s stipulated they must buy American equipment, so America makes a huge amount of money back on it. This is a loan and an investment, with the goal being American security as this poor smart young guy whose uncle died from 9/11 understands- the danger of radical Islam, jihadism and Islamism is not a joke. This is fact and not opinion. Opinion is continue to aid or not.

[@user-tk1jj1cp9x4]

Watching this kind of thing from Taiwan, where I've lived for many years (though I'm American), it always feels like the most important aspect of this election is misunderstood widely back home: Trump has repeatedly indicated that he is open to ceding the defense of Taiwan and by implication our Asian treaty allies, which would likely unravel the rest of our allegiances and, in the end, the sustainability of our economic system. I really don't blame anyone back in the US for not having this on the forefront of their minds, but it is more important than everything they are talking about.

[@AlysiaRosen]

Praying for Taiwan. I wish we had Nikki Hayley for president

[@next_door_rigil3270]

Americans fall for Trump no matter what he says. But if people attack him... Why do you have TDS? On that specifically, Trump has been clear that he doesn't care about allies. He feels attacked by them while he also defends dictators that talk to him softly and compliment him. He is easily manipulated. I couldnt ask for a better president... if I was Russia or China. Really making sure we get ahead of the US. The division he causes is also a bonus.

[@Chasandor]

I find this video's title VERY misleading lol. I came here to see arguments and talking points get deconstructed. Instead I got a rather amicable conversation of different views, which is honestly fine and we frankly need WAY more of this. But don't label it one side vs another cuz this ain't even a debate.

I liked the curly hair conservative guy that actually spoke more about the fact that there's a why behind abortions that need to be addressed. E.g., it's expensive to start a family. Too many times, the right (I'm moderate right leaning) doesn't talk enough about the why nor try to address those real reasons. They just speak on the right to life, and people escaping accountability, but there's more to it.
