(This Might Be My Favorite From Ren) REN - Crucify Your Culture | REACTION

[@marileemaraugha6864]

Nothing to break down!! He's speaking Truth. Truth is RARE😢 I Learn this as a Child. Being a Native American..Trail of Tears 😢 My people marched into the big Muddy & Killed for our LAND...Government wants what they want not what the People want..I LOVE REN✌🏽😎❤️ IM 70 Years old..I get you Ren . I get you to the Core‼️

[@evolutionviii12]

'There's no left. There's no right. In the middle we sleep.' Love his messaging! Ren is what music needed. He is blowing up right now because this is the time he was supposed to blow up!

[@zonzillamagnus5902]

Weird then how there were no new wars under Trump, the economy was great, manufacturing was coming back, racist Marxism was being removed from public schools and the establishment media and weaponized judicial system has lied constantly to destroy him.

[@hetherpickwell5174]

I instantly thought "stuck in the middle with you" when i saw your post lol

[@LHartman-gj7dl]

Just came here to quote that too!!

[@sunshynff]

You do know what he means with that line right? Someone claiming they're in the middle, or a moderate, doesn't mean they've taken some moral high ground, or are above getting bogged down in the muck that is the political divide and ugly discourse we find ourselves in. It means in the middle they mine as well be asleep, sittin' on the sidelines, content with the status quo because it doesn't affect them directly .

[@NeilBlanco]

This is one of my favourite ones by Ren. It really has got that Rage Against the Machine vibe. Loving your Ren content...

[@thefractometrist770]

More than just a vibe… At 2:40 there’s a sample from the guitar solo on No Shelter

[@Stunl3y]

Just love Ren , he lives in my home town of Brighton and we love him , he has touches of The Beastie Boys , Prince and pretty much every other legend , he is simply in my honest opinion the best up and coming talent on the planet right now

[@Shiroar]

I think that one of the things that makes Ren so loveable is how he gives a fuck. Man has plenty on his own plate to deal with that no one could fault him for being unable to see past that, but he is out there showing us that he cares about the world and everyone in it. How can you not care about someone so empathetic who just wants the world to be better? Doesn’t hurt either that he is sharing his messages through pure fire 🔥

[@kyosuke423]

AMEN!

[@jasonstewart3996]

Ive been loving your reaction videos for i dont even know how long now. But i just found Ren a couple months ago and do i started checking your channel everyday to see if you would jump on the Ren train. And since youve been on it you havent missed a beat. You're even doing reactions that i havent seen too many otherd do. At least not yet. Im a 50 year old white dude and i love you jamal and your reactions and Rem is my absolute new favorite artist. He hits home with so many of us. The people, the real people of this world

[@1998TDM]

A musician / band has not grabbed my attention like this for 30 years. What a joy to be off into really connecting music again, every song!. I feel like a teenager listening to Ren's songs, it's like the first time I heard the Dead Kennedys having been raised on Terry Wogan and Abba. Cheers Jamel

[@paulblake3954]

Revolving protagonists and antagonists on the centre stage of distraction. The magicians oldest trick - while you’re watching one hand the others in your pocket. If you take the messages in Rens music he lays it out clearly and cleverly, We need to be better humans. Much love brother!!!

Thanks for this reaction. I've been listening to a lot of Ren but had not heard this one. I love that Ren always seems to have a legit message. Finally, Somewho actually has something REAL to say! He really is wise way beyond his years. I wish more of us had his mindset.

[@alaricschenck3553]

It is interesting how Ren continues to develop themes across his videos and cross references them. In "Illest of our Time" Ren says "Crucify a Catholic" so I was interested in seeing this video and I can see how he is linking back here. "A murderous mind" "Burn down the Altar". Also the figure in the end with a sack over his head is similar to "Money Game" where there is a character with a sack over his head. Thanks for reacting to Ren!

[@sch7194]

Ren talking about real shit 🔥🌍🔥

[@NativeNYerChicHK]

This is the first time I’m hearing this one!

[@riverlove6820]

Yes corporations rule But it does matter who is in there. Ok which party is working to take rights away you? It's not just about money but those who have money have a different justice system for them as we can see from the former president. Let's take the money out of politics if we want politicians who start representing the people over corporations. It does matter- so VOTE.

[@ryanzeigler9763]

if we're only talking economics you're absolutely correct. if we're talking about culture it absolutelyfuckingmatters because that's where we live. macro economics, systematic racism, property>people culture etc. are too big for the avg Joe to lose sleep over. If your neighbor has a hood on his head that the president APPROVES of is worth voting about.

Read this The Meaning of Ren 2003-04-19 The core thought of Confucianism is Ren, but what is the meaning of Ren? Ren (or Rén) is the Confucian virtue denoting the good feeling a virtuous human experiences when being altruistic. Ren is exemplified by a normal adult's protective feelings for children. It is considered the inward expression of Confucian ideals. Yan Hui, Confucius's most outstanding student, once asked his master to describe the rules of Rén and Confucius replied, "One should see nothing improper, hear nothing improper, say nothing improper, do nothing improper." Confucius also defined Rén in the following way: "wishing to be established himself, seeks also to establish others; wishing to be enlarged himself, he seeks also to enlarge others." Another meaning of Rén is "not to do to others as you would not wish done to yourself." Confucius also said, "Rén is not far off; he who seeks it has already found it." Rén is close to man and never leaves him. Nature of Rén Rén relies heavily on the relationships between two people, but at the same time encompasses much more than that. It represents an inner development towards an altruistic goal, while simultaneously realizing that one is never alone, and that everyone has these relationships to fall back on, being a member of a family, the state, and the world. Rén is not a concept that is learned; it is innate, that is to say, everyone is born with the sense of Rén. Confucius believed that the key to long-lasting integrity was to constantly think, since the world is continually changing at a rapid pace. There have been a variety of definitions for the term Rén. Rén has been translated as "benevolence", "perfect virtue", "goodness" or even "human-heartedness". When asked, Confucius defined it by the ordinary Chinese word for love, ai, saying that it meant to "love others". Rén also has a political dimension. Confucianism says that if the ruler lacks Rén, it will be difficult for his subjects to behave humanely. Rén is the basis of Confucian political theory; the ruler is exhorted to refrain from acting inhumanely towards his subjects. An inhumane ruler runs the risk of losing the Mandate of Heaven or, in other words, the right to rule. A ruler lacking such a mandate need not be obeyed, but a ruler who reigns humanely and takes care of the people is to be obeyed, for the benevolence of his dominion shows that he has been mandated by heaven. Confucius himself had little to say on the active will of the people, though he believed the ruler should definitely pay attention to the wants and needs of the people and take good care of them. Mencius, however, did state that the people's opinion on certain weighty matters should be polled. Rén also includes traits that are a part of being righteous, such as hsin, meaning to make one's words compliment his actions; li, which means to properly participate in everyday rituals; ching, or "seriousness"; and yi, which means right action. When all these qualities are present, then one can truly be identified as a chün tzu (君子), or "superior man," which means a morally superior human being. Confucians basically held the view that government should be run by ethically superior human beings who concentrate solely on the welfare of the people they govern

[@jacks9624]

So, it's a moral compass in feeling, in deliberation and in action?
