Both sides partake of the same ingroup and outgroup signalling. They show a lot of compassion for a certain group and a lot of hatred for the outgroup. There is also the same vein of a hero complex running through both. Each side thinks they are saving the cultures from the demonic Other.
In this episode we talk about the immature hero complex operating on both sides and how each is a mirror of the other and a co-dependant mirror insofar as they fulfil each other's needs to continue the drama.

Empathy and justice are definitely human impulses, but they are not our primary ones (though we flatter ourselves to think so). The lust for power and greed are much stronger. Some of us go for the grand prize of them all: moral superiority (“I’m a good person and you are not”). For all our advances, we still haven’t got the slightest idea what to do with evil: what is it and what do we do about it? All we know for certain is that it belongs to the “other” and not to “us”. Thus, we play an eternal game of hot potato.

We need more channels like yours. Idk about others, but one of the reasons why I trust and listen to you and what you have to say on these more pop stories is because you have already built a catalogue of video essays on more academic subjects and have shown that you can dig deep and articulate what you have seen. But you never go full on cultist/extremist when sharing these ideas as if they were the end all be all. You are not a pusher of YOUR ideas, but a pusher of ideas (that interest you). For sure we cannot escape the fact that a part of you is always embedded, but i feel your opinion is never centrefold. And for that, you are invaluable, trusted and listened by me with care.

Great stuff as always.
I've lost a friend while trying to make that point. Early on in the history of this debate. I always wondered how so many of us were able to interpret a certain event as a systemic social disaster while others considered it an intentional social treachery. And then you would switch roles for another, very similar social event. How are we so fragile in our mental rigor?
It reminds me of the question raised by Dave Chappelle "how old is fifteen really?", where he raises the simple question of the double standard.
I feel that it puts more weight behind the idea that to deny the deterministic part of the explanation of human behavior is to enforce a moral battle between theories with different starting biases. The refusal to restrain a political or moral engagement during social commentary is an issue because it pins down two identical thought trajectories against one another. It makes enemies out of two similar minded people who would've otherwise been able to have great discussions with cooperative conclusions.
Wish you the best continuation as always.

Thank you, so glad to hear your point of view as it seems near impossible to find content that is not tainted in some way when it comes to this topic. I have found the tribal nature of this "culture war" to be exhausting and it is a breath of fresh air to hear an unemotional and unbiased analysis, because at its core it is really a fascinating development in collective psychology.

Great Video! A clear 3rd person take on the matter imo, really well done.
Also, congratulations on 60k subs!

Hey, refreshing and liberating video. Better than the 12 that I watched today since discovering your channel this morning and they were fascinating.
Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.
CG Jung.
Condemnation is such a "miracle grow" nutrient for the ego:)

Wonderful channel. Can't wait to consume more content. Thank you buddy!

Great video, James!
Loved the nod to the meaning crisis at the end there 😉

Great content as always, I have also noticed a change when off social media. I used to have 5 different social media apps and I have narrowed down to 2 (YouTube and Facebook). Not only can I think more clear but also make time to focus on my goals and develop better critical thinking skills. Thanks to on content like yours I strive to be more knowledgeable in the political, but more importantly philosophical sphere. Thank you for all that you do and keep up the great work my friend!

The ability to find understanding by being objective is something we seem to have lost as a collective. Your ability to be see from a birds eye view is something that we should all strive for.

Imagine understanding that life isnt about binary choices, isnt about enslaving yourself to peer group and their identity or illusion of political choice. Great content, sir. Keep it up.

Thank God that even with the rise in social media, there are authentic voices among the chorus (that would be YOU) reminding us to view life from a better angle.
Your video reminded me of Postman's "Amusing ourselves to death" book that I read when it came out in the mid-1980s. In the book, the author explained how media (radio and TV at the time) shortened our attention span and allowed others to program our thinking. The book was so interesting and scary because you could see the reality that you hadn't noticed in your day-to-day life.
Now, it's 2022, and you point out the insanity once again.
With the 24 hr news cycle and social media, it's easier than ever to program or amuse the masses. In this newer hyper-social version, we all align in camps and war against the other team. We are entertained, stressed, addicted to the likes, and of course, we stay distracted and manageable because we let others "think" for us.
I am sure the insanity of our system was glaringly evident after stepping away for a bit. So I'm happy you are addressing this and giving us some interesting insights.
The story of the child making fun of the man just so he could get attention was the perfect analogy for what you were about to explain. The cultural blaming is childish, stupid, and meant to garner attention. It only detracts from the world; it doesn't add value. Thank you for reminding us to work harder to avoid the chest-beating stupidity of "our side but not your side."
Overall I have to say the way you have consistently been able to take a wide-angle view of life is fabulous. I love your authenticity. Your videos add value and make me think. Thank you!

Loved this episode!! Thanks so much for accurately describing exactly what we’re dealing with right now. It really gathered momentum since all the the Covid lockdowns & mandates. Divisive ++
A real us & them syndrome. Why has this situation developed and how can we stop it?
|
it's been a while mr j, but good to catch up with your vids. as a big jordan fan it was refreshing to get this perspective. keep up your great work and off to see martin heideggar next. yours, loyally, stoic joe.

Fabulous analysis! Great thinking, very clear 👍.
|
Perhaps a session on retracting projections would be in order. Husserl's and Gebser's work come to mind as well as Jung.

Great analysis as always. Great video.
|
This was pure fire 🔥 very enlightening video. People don't realize that they have the opposite inside themselves that need exploring. It can end up as shadow work because they depressed it and what these two groups could be doing shadow projecting. Thank You, excellent job. 🖤🌹
