These are proud to ignore and haven’t the slightest desire to understand. I think it’s because of dehumanizing others and self righteousness. Just like a cult as you say.

[@MiddlePath007]

Cult behavior indicates unified thought enforced by a leader. These people will divide themselves and have victimization competition because they don't want to admit their own ideas could be wrong. This is just a group against others while having no actual hierarchy of good. A cult leader will always explain how to be the best people can be, and those that follow will accept what they are told. These people will eat each other the first time they see the other holding different values from what they hold. It's far too self centered to be a cult.

[@isaklytting5795]

@@MiddlePath007 I don't think so. All what you describe is also what goes on in a cult: "eating eachother the first time they see the other holding different values", etc. "The leader" in this case is some ephemeral "common goal" which doesn't exist except as some vaguely held opinions and sense of group and power which shifts moment to moment. Or maybe it's purely power - "the leader" is the sense of which part of the group is the meanest - the greatest bully - and the least likely to be bullied by the others in the total group - that's "the leader" and they follow it. If the "power" of invulnerability shifts to another way of acting, then they follow it, and the people who are most associated with that way of acting - those who "represent" it the best, can mobilize control over their "brethren". And boy do they love to control.

[@MiddlePath007]

@isaklytting5795 I'm guessing you mean incorporeal, ethereal, or immaterial when you talk about the common goal acting as the leader of the cult, as opposed to ephemeral. Either way, I think my point still stands. The lack of consistent tangible goals leads to the selfish nature of each woke person getting caught in a trap of supporting an idea as a goal that isn't supported by a majority of the rest of those who claim the same social outrage. Look at turfs (I dunno how it's spelled) who were in full support of hearing women and respecting their autonomy. They are now an arch nemesis of the movement. Each time they shear off a section of their supporters for not being perfectly in line with their dogma, that sun section sees the beast for what it is. That's how they eat each other. As they can not, and will not specify their ultimate goals and the steps to get there, there is no cult. The cult leader absolutely must point their followers in a direction so they act in a uniform fashion. Even if it's ephemeral, the idea is conveyed to all followers who are pressured to follow that idea. If the individual members have to guess the direction they are heading, they will separate into sects and cliques that are convinced of being right, they infight and are cleaved from the whole.

The difference is that I have the right to BE offended, but I respect that I DON'T have the right to tell someone else they can't think it or proclaim it. That is ME respecting others. That is ME showing tolerance, which is something the liberal, WOKE, leftists certainly don't seem to extend to ANYONE else, even though they can't stop preaching about it.

Newspeak 'Advocate' = 'Enforce'

[@MiddlePath007]

No. Advocacy comes from people wanting to know they are accomplishing good. If they choose to advocate a voice that is supposedly silenced, the success rate is self determined. That means the only people who can say they did wrong are themselves. Contradiction means that you are threatening their sense of being good. If they think too hard, they might tell themselves they are bad, they don't want that. You can be an advocate for good. Just look at this channel. If you are willing to be wrong and use that to better yourself, you can learn humility and actually do good. That's not control over anyone except yourself.

Do you know what newspeak means? Perhaps look it up. Your response makes no sense.

[@MiddlePath007]

It doesn't change anything. These people are using the word the same way it always has been used. Perhaps look up the word enforce. The difference is that if you disagree, they can't handle it, and they break down. The closest you could get is "advocate ≈ define." And it's not just defining a concept. It's giving a definition and declaring it to be the only option. If you, as a woke, advocate for vegan ballerins, you aren't enforcing for vegan ballerinas, you are enforcing for a group who limits the potential of vegan ballet to be only one thing, and one attribute is their inability to speak for itself. So, advocating the values of vegan ballerinas isn't enforcing the values of vegan ballerinas, it's explaining that if you don't hold the same view they have of the values they think vegan ballerinas have, you're just a bad person. How they enforce is not through advocacy. How they enforce is through public declarations of shame, accusations of bigotry and bias, coercion, and intimidation. Perhaps, you could say. advocacy = reeducation People love to use "orwellian," or the concepts orwell brings to light, incorrectly. It's a rallying cry to shame ideas, and those who hold them, that's based in hypocrisy. Try being direct. Try pointing out how the other side is using hypocritical ideas without doing so yourself. "artificial life obviously does not matter to ALM" or "the vacation reduction act has increased vacation." And "the new blue deal has been attempted by many for years and the outcome is contradictory to the idea of blue marketing." Clearly stating the problem and the connection will help get across your concepts without the wiggle room of semantics used by opponents who can't deny truth in your words.

[@MiddlePath007]

Tldr: confirmation bias They have a career based on victimized people. If there are more victims, there are more job openings. On the other end of the timeline, just my theory, it could be that when you're young, they might have low self esteem or some other social inhibitions. Later, while in college actively looking for a date, you have time to just skip someone and move on. What's the point of engaging someone else and starting an argument when you want to get off on the right foot to increase your chances of getting along when the goal is to find compatability? When those women are going into social service fields and learning that it is societies fault for all bad things, the guys who don't want want to bother will just leave them, which reinforces misandry and victimhood and the feeling of men being cruel. The guys that do engage them are practicing the "sneaky fk" strategy. They support those views and encourage the behavior, but eventually, they feel like they are "owed" a relationship for all the "work" they put into the friendship. If they do hook up, they get comfortable and stop supporting the women as much. That leaves the feeling of men not being able to be trusted, that they lie and are all cruel, even the ones that seem nice. Eventually, it seems to them that men are all oppressors. The more the pendulum swings towards believing the victim, the fewer people are willing to tell them how they could be wrong about whatever claims they make. Maybe it's just harder and harder to get through to them, the pool of men who seem worthy shrinks, and the amount of friends that see past the annoyance of being around them but also willing to counter their ideas drops dramatically, and the people they can relate to all share the same ideas. If all their friends blame everyone else for all the wrongs, they eventually blame each other, then nobody is worth listening to unless they are clearly saying someone else is victimizing them so they can rally together.

[@magoose84]

I find myself having a very difficult time, especially after the past 8-9 years, comprehending how situations like these are so common place in a period in time where we have so much information at our disposal. I have my beliefs and some have been reinforced over my life and others have changed slightly or even drastically and the views or beliefs that have changed always stem from new information or living through an experience. I want to understand things even if I don’t agree because understanding an opposing idea allows me to either reinforce my own position or admit that I was wrong and work to have a position that I’m confident in. It almost seems like we have an issue with people that adopt a set position without doing any of the work to reach that position which then leads to contradictory or hypocritical arguments that ultimately lead to ad hominem attacks because they get angry they can’t justify or convince another why they are right. I feel like we rarely have productive arguments anymore and that only gets exasperated when certain views and beliefs are shut down completely by those with the power to do so. Sorry for the rambling, I just get frustrated because I understand but at the same time I don’t lol. Love your videos ❤

Exactly.

[@dafunkmonster]

This goes beyond that, though I certainly think that the misplaced maternal instinct is part of it. These women are psychopathic.

Bravo Warren, bravo Peter

[@travtotheworld]

I keep thinking about an Oliver Wendell Holmes quote: “Between two groups of people who want to make inconsistent kinds of worlds, I see no remedy but force.” The people arguing with Boghossian believe truth is just a "social construct" imposed by those who have power on those who do not. Essentially, they believe that might makes right. Ultimately, there is no way to debate them because they don't believe in the validity of rational arguments, the legitimacy of logical reasoning, or the existence of objective evidence.

[@lunkerjunkie]

nice

[@MissBeeeBeee]

Great comment!

[@MissBeeeBeee]

Great comment!

[@dafunkmonster]

It's a self-serving claim, because if truth is merely a "social construct" created by those in power, they don't need to debate. In fact, it means there's no such thing as free speech, because speech is just a tool of the powerful. And they also don't need to be truthful, even by their own definition of "truth". They can lie in service of the power struggle. I am starting to think that this whole movement is just a formalized, scaled up form of psychopathy.

[@alanmitchell1132]

I feel so sorry for the people who have them as social workers.

[@christiandenmark]

I feel like you have a unique voice in the youtube space of debate commentary and critical thought about the conversations we have because of your excellent speaking skills, your editing/presentation, and your lack of being old and condescending. I like that your videos are precise on single ideas but I cant help but hunger for longer more in depth content from you exploring these topics further. Great work though i look forward to more from you ‼️

[@ChristophelusPulps]

Good video, but cool it with the background music. WAY too cheesy and distracting.

[@neepers22]

This was the video that introduced me to Peter and I'm so grateful I saw it. Keep up the good work Warren 👍

Yeah, I was born into and raised in a cult, and these people could blend seamlessly into our old congregation. The way they overwhelm you with numbers to give themselves the appearance of holding the moral and reasonable high ground while using emotionally manipulative language feels like my whole adolescence. Pure evil.

[@wanda520]

They seriously believe what they are trying to defend.

[@ikkehierrro]

They are willing to deny all truth to get or keep the social workers job.

[@sengasengana]

No, they don't. They do what every conformity experiment has shown 3 in 4 people do. Manipulating the masses to do the most ridiculous and outrageous things is a very old art.

[@cainemarko5021]

Respectfully, I don't think they do. I think they all have a talking point they are defending, not a real belief. None of them actively engaged him in a real discussion on the merits of their point. They just hurled accusations and insults. And when he wouldn't back down, they did, and ran.

[@compugasm]

@@cainemarko5021 Good point.

[@sianais]

No, they don’t. They have no idea what what they believe in or what they're they're supposedly defending. They are mindless puppets reacting as they are programmed to. That's why they can't defend a single point even if they wanted to. They spit out garbled nonsense and then launch accusations. If all that fails, run and cry assault. Because that one braincell they collectively share becomes dangerously close into being activated when pressured. Thinking is scary.

[@jibberjabber6919]

lol, that orchestrated move they did with people coming in to join their mob is so comical and obvious. They're like robots/zombies without a mind of their own.

[@TheDjcorey19]

Thanks a lot. It's taken years to get over the rage I felt watching this the first time. Now it's all back. 😊

Big fan of yours here. It's too much about "feelings,nothing more than feelings..." nowadays. Lord help us. Be well,dude. Greets from Warsaw.

[@wbtittle]

One of the hardest things to grasp seems to be that you have to be able to be offended and to be offensive. We can't perfectly navigate the balance. But too often the easier path is to avoid offending. The easier path is to not rock the boat. The most successful path is to not rock the boat. There are lots of examples of people who rocked the boat and did well. But there are more examples of people who Blew the whistle and then ended up "gone". This doesn't mean dead most of the time. It does mean "Not part of the conversation any more">

I love what you are doing. I find the piano music distracting.

[@MissBeeeBeee]

As a huge music lover and piano player, I love the music in this video. That being said, I find it distracting as well. There is no need for background music when you are speaking imho. Your words are wise and stand up on their own. Please play the music at the end (or very beginning in an intro). I love what you do, Warren. ♥️

[@Tamara-qd5dc]

These people have no logic, thought or analytical inclinations. All they have is negative emotions.

[@sianais]

They have been given power to push their nonsense, while anyone who challenges them gets unpersoned. If that person gets taken out, they will cheer like the good people they are since challenging them is a crime worse than murder.

Thinking is something many people do everything they can to avoid. They're addicted to the comforts provided by the narrative that best fits their lifestyle and thus will act hostile towards anything that might cause disruption.

[@andrewcram6032]

The art of having a good faith conversation is absent in the West and more specifically in the USA. At the end of the day I am getting to the point of apathy as others try to cancel me and even tell me to un-alive my self because I have a more traditional perspective.

[@MissBeeeBeee]

What? Who is telling you that? This is extremely concerning.

[@cathyhorn963]

I watched this video on Peter’s channel when it originally aired. And you, Warren, have defended and elaborated on my thoughts as I watched.

[@rplewis]

Why is the tyrannical compelling of untruthful speech seen as the ethical option? In 1984 the population was made to say things that it knew not to be true, because doing so would break their spirit--a population with a broken spirit won't rebel.

[@TruthWiz]

This looks like an adapted version of a M ao ist struggle session.

[@nutloaf]

The upspeak speaks volumes to me. A lack of surety in what they are saying delivered with a smug and patronizing tone.

[@alexander0877]

Your content is fantastic. Ultimately, the core of what's being presented is that one side argues in good faith and the other side does not. Your dissection of this shows that unequivocally.

[@MissBeeeBeee]

I wholeheartedly agree.

[@dafunkmonster]

One side believes in objective truth, while the other side believes that there's no such thing as free speech because everyone is just a mouthpiece for their power group.

[@DF-cc5im]

Frightening thought, that these are the people that could be running/protecting the country one day.

[@fixed-point]

This is not remotely what made him famous 👎

[@penneyburgess5431]

My question is what was the message? It’s difficult to understand their objections and reasoning responses without that. I believe that most of their responses were actually ultimatums. An advocate is someone who defends another who cannot defend themselves on an equal basis. Defending another with the mindset of taking away everything from the other person is not advocating. It’s bullying. I believe Montesquieu said something like ‘Freedom is when one man can live without fear of another man.’ You could replace person with man if it offends you, but it’s still true. However, if society limits your freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedoms of all kinds to the rights of 5% of the population, why call it freedom? It’s the worst kind of bullying. There’s got to be a conversation where this can be settled equally. Neither side of this argument will get everything they want, but everyone should feel comfortable enough to give up a little bit in order to live in peace.
