The enemy effect will make you magnetic

[@valerieterranova8130]

Hundreds of videos I’ve seen about Taylor Swift’s brand and you’re the first person to get it right.

[@bklynmyke]

There's still more to it than this. It's HOW you react to your enemy. If you stand around yelling, "I hate this/them!" no one will care. You have to stand up to the/your enemy in a positive way. You can't just yell about why you hate someone/thing. You have to rise up in an inspiring way. A way that will rally people and make them root for you. They have to want to be able to picture themselves as the protagonist. People don't just root for Potter, Batman, or Swift (not a swifty). They wish they were them. They wish they had the resources and the courage to do what the person they love is doing. Oh, and BTW, I don't know why YT recommended this video, but I'm so glad they did. This was awesome!! New subscriber for sure. Can't wait to binge-watch.

@@gailscrypto1536 Exactly! I think of the Vegan Teacher. OMG. I'm not vegan, but I respect vegans. All vegans. Except for her. If you don't know her, then you'll live longer. She literally makes me want to eat more meat. She's so gross. She compared eating meat to being raped. I'm not going to go into that, but it was directed at a specific YTer who is very sweet and kind who was raped in college. I remember I was on my way to my friend's wedding. We ended up being late because bicyclists were riding through downtown Chicago, blocking traffic. Apparently, it was some sort of demonstration. The cops blocked up the streets until the bikes passed. My friend was screaming his head off at one of the protesters. He was ignoring my friend. I tried a different approach. I asked politely, "What is this protest about? What's this for?" to which the guy just grinned this cocky, condescending smirk and said, "Critical mass." So you have a protest that no one knows what it's for, and you piss off God knows how many thousands of people in downtown Chicago. Not the way to get people to be sympathetic to your cause.

That happened to me in my old job a few months back. Led by a ringleader who was the queen of gossip, she turned everyone against me. She and I used to be « friends » or so I thought, and even went on holiday together once and I was very friendly with everyone else. They excluded me and stopped talking to me and then got others to think I was the one isolating myself from ALL of them. They were all older than me in their 40s. I didn’t react. Karma came when I was contacted for a new position in a more prestigious company in the same industry, with a higher pay. They were all flabbergasted when I quit. I did not give them the time of day and don’t intend to if I run into them ever again. And yes the ringleader was basically jealous of me, even though I wasn’t giving her anything to be jealous about and just being myself. She was talking about me behind my back, even to our boss and that isolation thing is the only thing that came up in my improvement areas during the quarterly evaluation lol that lady could say nothing bad about my job and was between a rock and a hard place when I quit 🤷🏾‍♀️ your enemies will make you stronger so thanks to them, my favourite haters 😘

Hearing that taylor swift was bullied reminds me of the 30 Rock episode when Liz said she was bullied in high school and when she went back to her reunion everyone was terrified of her.

[@twiggypie2314]

Seems about 200% on-brand for her based on how she acts. Maybe it's real in her head, but more likely it's made up to appeal to an insecure audience. She had a recording/development deal with Sony Music from age 12 or 13 and spent her afternoons after school in Nashville studios before she was even a Freshman in High School. She was doing professional modeling before that.

Don't tell me... _She was bullied in school because she was too beautiful?_ lol Narcissists tend to have an inflated sense of self-importance and a deep need for admiration and approval from others. This need for validation can drive their behaviour, leading them to seek constant attention and affirmation to reinforce their self-image. Maybe she was bullied. It is one factor that can lead to a person becoming a narcissist.

[@WillN2Go1]

Good video, but keep in mind the enemy is a narrative device. It's a trick of the manipulator to convince you that you are afraid of something. In a story the enemy is just an embodiment of the weakness of the protagonist. The Stoic/Buddhist practice is to deal with an enemy, but not let them change who you are or what you do. Being too focused on an enemy gives that negative person a degree of control over your life. Not good. I had a horrible boss who wasn't even that good at back stabbing. One day I had the idea, instead of fighting his war -- and becoming like him -- I will, every week do something amazing. I'm sure Taylor Swift had a moment like that because she's the very definition of amazing. But I'm not a fan. I'm an old guy still listening to Joni Mitchell. No problem. I have deep respect for the community Swift's built with her fans. Until this video I didn't know how critical to her narrative were the mean girls, but instinctively I did. So well Done Taylor Swift. Mostly what I get from her is she's a woman with a notebook writing poetry, struggling with the things all women struggle with. Her challenge is as it is to all of us, with herself. But we all have some chip on our shoulder from past ill treatment. I'm almost 70 - it's still there. Almost everyday there's at least the echo of 'Oh yeah, I'll show them....' But I use it to push myself forward. Even if I had the chance I wouldn't seek out those who've wounded me and rub their noses in it. I wouldn't do that to anyone. It's cruel and a waste of time. Leo Koetke the guitarist song writer has a piece, "I guess I owe it all to Pamela Brown" because she fell in love with a guy who had a pick up truck, instead of him. His disappointment and jealousy went into his music. Just having the thought, what amazing thing am I going to do this week? Gets me motivated and gets something done. The downside? When any of us change for the better in some remarkable or different way, often the people in our lives who are used to us being a certain way can feel angry, hostile to the new changes. Often they reject us. We've upset the family, community, group....

Good video. Part of the reason the enemy effect works to help you define yourself without thinking about yourself.

You need to figure out what you are about, and what you’re not about.

easily one of the best videos Ive watched in a long time

[@codyrap95]

My "enemy" is precisely this type of people who unite *against* something instead of uniting *for* what they want.

[@ethanpintar5454]

Yeah! Let’s unite against those people who- wait…

And what exactly do you think you are achieving this by posting this comment? Becoming one of them! "When we deal with monsters, we shall be careful about not becoming s monster ourselves"

[@notjaydanbhooshan93]

It's interesting the entire video I thought for sure one name would come up who believe demonstrates this concept more than any of the names included: Kanye West. He is the definition of a personal brand, George Bush, hurricane Katrina, Taylor Swift, 50 cent, Obama, Nike, Adidas, gap, Drake, the karadashians and so many other names have all been at one time or another enemies of Ye and his cultural significance is still growing along with the list of enemies. The difference I think between taylor swift and Kanye is that ye's brand truly is Kanye where taylor swifts brand like you said is about connecting with the insecurities of her audience. But the reality is taylor is THE cool girl now, and Kanye is still Kanye.

[@sebastian1234hamburg]

Never thought about this effec before! Thanks for sharing!😊

[@areyalunera7126]

This is really sharp!!! How do this not have more view?!

[@christianmackie4286]

I love you because you broadcast the logic that brews in my subconscious

[@RatatatKing]

Dude this is awesome, I can see your channel blowing up in the near future

[@theoryofone]

Thank you! I appreciate that a lot!

[@angels2797]

I’ve never hated anyone, real or fictional, the way I hate Dolores Umbridge. Makes my skin crawl like no other! Guess your theory is right, our mutual hate for a shared enemy made me relate to you & like this video instantly.

[@VanTuanDao-z6j]

on a roll recently, love these videos

[@purplerainbow1995]

Problem these days: a group of people painting an innocent person who is kind to everyone as an "idealistic enemy" when actually they're just bullying her bc they're jealous.

[@blackholeson-pp9ue]

They use duality to control those that are trapped by their own duality . Played by players, no freewill, no destiny, only a fate .

[@TemiBabalola]

This is brilliant content . This is why i am on youtube. Well done!!!

[@MikeD-tf7dk]

Oh my G-D! This whole thing is AMAZING.

[@SweetSunrising]

Opposite of gratitude journaling? I’M IN!

[@chrisd3637]

Great video and super informative, thank you! One thing: I think the word 'enemy' is quite intense, as I don't think I genuinely hate anything (but of course do have strong disliking for). Maybe 'antithesis' suits me better.

[@chrisd3637]

Also just subbed when looking at your channel: your content seems right up my street :).

[@horizon5677]

or maybe your "unbearable" things

[@deanc3233]

There is no enemy. That is just a construct to create division. I agree with what you say that it does work. People love something to blame their own problems on. This way they don't have to take any personal responsibility.

[@marinajakovacz]

Everything you said is also the description of how cults and heavy manipulation work. EVERYONE, no matter how intelligent, is subject to heavy manipulation.

[@alenngk]

Why is it always if you like something - people assume that you hate the opposite.

[@Lintybaybay]

Firstly, your eyes are beautiful 🥰 secondly your content is excellent, I’m in learning and development and your personal brand deep dives are very good. I’ve subscribed 👌🏾

[@DolphLundgrensDolphinDungeon]

Mine has to be people who press the pedestrian crossing button more than once. They must be thinking the more they press it, the quicker it will change. As if pressing it 20 times makes it think there's a crowd of people so it needs to change quicker. But no, pressing it once sends a signal that someone is waiting. Pressing it more than once does nothing. In cities they're usually fake and literally do nothing at all. They call them "placebo buttons" because for some weird reason people can't stop themselves pressing it a hundred times

[@samuel3253]

Worse are those people who press the button without looking if there are any cars going past and then cross the road when they notice that there aren't any, thereby forcing cars to stop with no one crossing the road.

[@POOOOOOOO416]

'Does a supervillain cackle in my castle whilst stroking my cat'. Just you wait Dolph soon all pedestrian crossing will have their buttons mashed repeatedly before walking and the world will be MINE! 'lightning flashes across the castle'

[@DolphLundgrensDolphinDungeon]

@@POOOOOOOO416 I will go absolutely mad. All over the world people will hear a quiet ringing in their ears. That will be me screaming from tens of thousands of miles away

[@YoutubeCommenter1]

You are wrong, and my greatest enemy. I will stop at nothing to defeat you

[@BadEnglish-y6m]

We are all alone together. Understand that & appreciate everything. Build your heaven !

[@bentam1516]

My enemy is inflation as someone who lives in 3rd world country Buying a car today is like buying a house back then or even harder

[@jeremiahalexander5513]

Great video. It’s actually helped clear up my vision for my musical project I’m working on.

[@heyJordanParker]

Great breakdown. Learned a lot about Taylor Swift too - win-win, basically.

[@Dr_Sofia-di6mg]

"This is the opposite of gratitude journaling." 😄 Love it.

[@Yasmin-pi5pr]

My enemy is inconsistency.. I value perseverance. Awesome video!

[@TaLeng2023]

While I'm not a fan of Taylor Swift, what really puts me off are the fans. They just look freakin craycray. Like I've seen them online gang up on anyone saying anything they perceive is a criticism on Taylor.

[@syrckwildberry8356]

Swifty here, The fanbase is unhinged, I’ll give you that. But this video makes me understand why. It’s radical stance against bullying. They’re seeing any criticism as micro aggressions 😂

[@n8works]

Got me. I subscribed. My enemy is those with a disdain for human life. I've always thought that was the most basic one, but I'm finding more and more it is a question these days.

[@CarasComments]

I love you so much, you have no idea! This is such great info, insight….it bloody well explains a thing or 2….so thank you for bringing it to our attention & keep the great content coming. Subscribed.

[@dominikgruen]

best video to change the world for the better! it brings people to reflect and think about their values, which must be positive by identifying a negative value they try to work against. Saying this I am not sure if there is anyone who would say their enemy is honest people... because all dishonesty stems from trauma of suffering under dishonesty, in broad terms.

[@meidhir]

Thanks! I can really use this - I suppose in anyone's narrative there are instances that help us identify our values and what to fight for. Cheers.

[@SoloHunna]

This is amazing. Just the video I needed to validate my brand approach.

[@jerm3659]

This video was very helpful, thank you

[@jsal8681]

Focusing on Hate is powerful, but ultimately flawed and misguided

[@shhh3185]

It’s not about gate, it’s overcoming

[@jsal8681]

Yes, but you don't overcome through hate. You do it through understanding. “In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him.” - Enders Game

[@AbhirupMishra-i7d]

Ight im subscribin’.. this is pure gold. Ya’ better remember me ma’e cause you gonna get Famouuuuussss

[@devindodge8648]

Lies and deception thats what boils my blood. Great video btw.

[@monzerfaisal3673]

Girl who tf are you? You show up here with 3.8k subs and drop the sickest, well reflected video essay? That was great. Do you write this yourself?

[@j.m.f.g.450]

The best way to not bite the bait is to treat it like it didn't exist at all.

[@ToniYoGood]

Thank you so much!!! This feels like a missing link, another contrast to make my story pop!

[@Emily-ln3zv]

Love your videos and perspective on things. Very helpful and I agree on this and the concept of finding ideological alignment to create belonging. Interestingly, I've never bought the authenticity of Taylor's narrative about being unpopular though. Not at the beginning , definitely not now.

[@SpeechNerd]

So glad I clicked on this. You're awesome. Now to binge the rest of your channel...

[@RevsPastRedline]

With all the talk of Swift, we can't forget to mention one of her best enemies. He captured the idea of this video in one line: "Everything I'm not made me everything I am." -Kanye West

[@MeekandMe]

Ive been a musician and artist my whole life and after failing to make it my living after 44 years im ready to try this…

[@anthonywritesfantasy]

"Me against my brother. Me and my brother against my cousins. Me and my brother and my cousins against a stranger."

[@zaiahroos]

This is such a brilliant video!

[@alenscaria1516]

oh I lovedd ur way of story tellin! 😄
