    "Why would my dad do that to me" is one of the most important points of this whole story and the most heartbreaking. If a society wants to reduce criminality it needs to protect children and reduce poverty first and foremost. This little kid didn't stand much of a chance, child abuse creates more and more abuse later on. I'm glad this man managed to break the cycle eventually.

      Had nothing to do with money, it never does, people join gangs for power, first and foremost, as a gang member i can't be screwed with, i'm the one who screws with others and they take it because they don't have a choice, that's why people join gangs and remain affiliated with them even after they got money.
      People understand they could earn a living working normal jobs, but you'd be a civilian, without power, without girls, without respect, they don't want that.
      It could just as easily be his dad telling you sob stories and you'd side with him if he was the one telling the story, both of them are equally evil, Marv probably more-so as he hurt considerably more people and for longer than his dad did as a low-level drug dealer and he did it for power

He learnt that he could take back control from the person who was tormenting him and his family on a daily basis through violence, the same thing which was used against him. When you're abused like that you become hypersensitive for the rest of your life, you promise yourself you'll never let someone fuck you over again and you mean it. Of course it was wrong and not everyone who's abused goes down that path, but it's just too easy without any kind of support system and when it's all you know. Through that lens it only makes sense

It’s hard to become a drug dealer or thief when you grow up in a rich neighborhood and never wanted for anything. It’s a lot easier when you’re born in a shit hole tho.

      This shit made me realize how normal my childhood was despite me having to argue daily with my drunk dad because my mom was mentally drained and mentally beaten. There was no crime or drugs, no "rich privilege" or friends. There was however bullying at school by literally everyone for years on end.
      Yet, i had roof over my head, i always had food, little bit of toys and i knew, absolutely knew that my mom loved me and dad kinda appreciated me because biology.
      There is no either/or, rich/poor, privileged/underprivileged switch. It's a spectrum, we all are spread around there with different backgrounds.

      privileged is such a shitty term nowadays because its veered so far off-course. It's like saying this guy is privileged as fuck because he only got shot as opposed to starving and becoming a child soldier of an African Warlord because of a civil war in Rwanda or something, it's not really a good measurement at all.

I had no emotions what so ever and felt like nothing bothered me.. now that I grew up and have my own family a lot of this shit is bugging me.. me trying to be the best father I can be and not having a relationship with my father I see all the time when visiting my mom.. he is there but not there at the same time which kills me inside.. I learned how to be a man alone.. and made a shit ton of mistakes along the way and I am happy the way I turned out but I have no fuckin idea why I have so much fuckijng anger built up.. I feel like a ticking time bomb waiting to go off ready to explode.. my family relies on me to feed them and be a man so I cannot show my emotions and be weak..

      @@t.4166 yeah man I used to feel like that, but at some point you have to realize that you can't deal with everything alone. I was once at the darkest point in my life where I felt very alone, as if i had no purpose or added no value to this world. All it took was 1 conversation with someone very near and dear to my heart to convince me not to take my own life. Speaking about your emotions and being true and open with your family, especially your wife, is the most manly thing you can do. Forcing yourself to struggle alone until you eventually crack isn't the mindset a man who wants to be able to provide for his kids for the rest of his life should have. and that last statement isn't a guilt trip I just said that so you could realize that your kids and family need you yes, but not only monetarily my friend. Please talk about your issues before it's too late, I really wish the best for you.

    • @lunacygeo
      @lunacygeo ปีที่แล้ว +2

      my father was very much of the mindset that he had to deal with everything by himself, and these days he's relaxed a little due to old age but for over 50 years he was a very very angry man, had little self control, and effectively ruined his relationships with all his children, he's just very lucky that we are all forgiving. But I still love him very much and it's because we know that those around us aren't perfect, and we don't expect perfectionism, the people around you love you for who you are, not what you bring to the table. Please remember that. Don't make the same mistakes my father did, things like that trickle down generations. Talk to your wife or friends or whoever, and try to focus on your kids more and the positive in life and I swear things will get better.

      I bet his dad was once an innocent child who was betrayed and abused by someone that was supposed to love him unconditionally as well.
      It's so heartbreaking to think that we all start out with the same innocence, and that some folks' lives are shaped by that innocence being stolen away at the hands of abuse. Marvin could have easily ended up like his father, and this video shows that he started down that path. Perhaps if this video had been made 15 or 20 years ago we'd be calling Marvin evil and horrible.
      Everyone has a story, and our perception of them often depends on which chapter we're reading. The actions of Marvin's father were reprehensible, but it's important to remember that in the end we're all just people who sometimes make mistakes. I like to think that a little bit of understanding and compassion for your fellow man, despite those mistakes, can help break those cycles of violence and make the world a better place.

Nobody looks at their own infant child and says "i want them out dealing drugs and getting into fights"
      People especially the ones in that life do whatever they can to push their kids away from it, their kids choose to join it for the same reason others do, they're impressed by the girls, the money, the power, especially the power.

      suffocated inside plastic bags, ground up alive, or gassed to death by the billions yearly... that's what happens to male chicks in the egg industry. CASTRATION, tail docking, and other forms of mutilation such as teeth yanking, dehorning, beek filing, etc. are performed on other animals WITHOUT PAIN RELIEF. These are STANDARD practices done to farm animals across the globe. Look up what a gestation crate is on Google, imagine being confined there & not being able to take a step forward, backward, or even turn around. You'd think after all that they can die a peaceful death, but no during transit depending on how far away the slaughterhouse is, many of the animals die from thrist, heat, & the cold. If you watch interviews with ex-slaughterhouse workers they maintain that a lot of animals remain conscious as they're hung upside down choking on their own blood. When you buy animal products, you are funding the atrocities committed unto animals.
      According to the American Dietetic Association (consisting of 100,000 professionals in health and nutrition) we can thrive on a vegan diet at every stage of life: pregnancy, lactation & infancy. This is backed by the British Dietetic association, the Canadian Dietic Association, the NHS, as well as many other.
      Furthermore, meat consumption is absolutely devastating for the environment. The United Nation published a 40 page report titled Livestock's Long Shadow detailing every envionmental issue we face as a result of animal agriculture. The list is extensive everything from global warming, climate change, water pollution, resource depletion, antibiotics resistance, deforestation (to make room for feed crops) leading to habitat loss and species extinction at an unprecedented rate... and so on
      Still insist we have valid reasons for meat consumption? Look up "earthling ed ted talk every argument against veganism" he will debunk all the best points waged against veganism
      To the vegetatians out therewho arent aware of the cruelty of dairy and eggs. Please look up "why aren't vegans just vegetarian earthling ed" here on TH-cam

      "One of mankind's greatest longings is complete freedom. One of mankind's greatest limitations is the inability to ever truly be free. We want the frictionless state of our origins. We want the autonomy of a god. We want the sea of reality to part at the whim of our fluctuating, individual will. We want, like is so often the case, what we cannot have. Of course, there are many different types of freedom, and there are many layers and nuances within each type, but arguably, absolute freedom, the existential sort, in wich one is able to do, feel and choose what one wants how and when they see fit without any kind of coercion, restraint or imposition, this is the ideal of freedom that drives the passionate pursuit of all other forms, and perhaps, at least to some large extent, all human activity in general. However in the final analysis, this ultimate endgame of freedom appears to be an incoherent impossibility.
      At the top of the pyramid of freedom, even an individual who is lucky enough to have unfastend all material and societal shackles remains unfree, restricted and told what to do, when to do it, and why to do it. This individual, of course possessing one of the most basic freedoms, physical freedom, can move their body around the world as they please. But in just this fist layer of analysis, obvious restrictions are found. Of course, that can only move according to how their body does and can, and can only move through and with the body. We generally do not see the body as a ball and chain because we associate parts of who we are with it and only know of existence trough it, but it takes more than a sick stomach or migraine headache to realize just how heavy this corporal weight is, how stricken to and limited by it we are.
      We are stuck inside, captives to it, subject to its faulty and fragile mechanisms that do and will break, keeping us bound in space according to its condition until it finally turns itself off, and us with it, unpreventably. And more yet, our body controls much of what we choose to do with it, how we move it, where we move it, and why. Being told when to eat, when to go to the bathroom, when to sleep, when to wake up, that is the daily routine of a prisoner, not a free man. Of course, one can decide to temporarily resist their bodily urges, and not eat or sleep and so forth, momentarily experiencing a fleeting distinction between mind and body. But it takes very little time for the conspiracy between the mind and body to reveal itself, the mental sensations corollary to the body's state soon compelling the individual to behave accordingly and get in line. This, of course, is just physical issues, though.
      Psychologically, abstractly, the individual is also able to think and consider everything beyond the mere urges and physical conditions of their body and environment. This much is true, but isn't our relationship with the mind in the realm of thought ultimately the same as our physical relationship with the body? We can only think through our mind, and we can only think in the way our mind thinks. We are given one lens of the world wit hb one type of software running on one type of hardware to process all that we intake and experience. If an artist was commissioned for a job and told that they were free to make anyrthing they wanted, but were then told it must be on an etch-a-sketch, would they really be free to make anything they wanted? Only in some sense. In truth, the freest of persons are free to think and see things how they choose, but only as long as it is with words that exist, through concepts that have been construed, in a brain that has been built, with respect to an environment that has been experienced, all moved by the laws of the natural world.
      Our mind's abilities are its constraints and its constraints inform us what to think and see. Each condition of the brain working in relation to the world like levees and dams controlling the flow of thought, each thought emerging out of the cause-and-effect ripples on the surface of its unending self-orchestrated flow. We are caught in this movement, swept away uncontrollably without ever choosing where we started from and where we go. Being compelled what to think and how to see is the report of an indoctrination, not a free man. It is a demonstration of humanity's overzealous ego and anthropocenticism to think that so long as no other humans tell then what to do they are free.
      Man should undoubtedly strive, fight for, and protect all their earthly freedoms within the physical, social, economic, and political domains of the world. But if and once he has, the remaining unsatisfied existential freedom, of wich he will continue to drink and run and lust and love to try to attain, perhaps requires a different kind of consideration. The closest thing to absolute existential freedom, it seems, is freedom from freedom itself, freedom from the constraints that the concept of freedom imposes. Being totally existantially free or unfree implies being a defined, separate thing that can be contained or inhabited by some other thing.
      "A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "universe", a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. The striving to free oneself from this delusion is the one issue of true [religiosity]. Not to nourish it but to try to overcome it is the way to reach the attainable measure of peace of mind." Albert Einstein"

    To come out the other end of that kind of upbringing and still be a decent human being afterward takes immense inner strength. You are an inspiration sir🤘

    “He’s gotta bellybutton pierced, he’s gotta nipple pierced, he’s got his tongue pierced, *HOW TF CAN I GET KILLED BY THIS GUY!* “ When i say that killed, I literally mean that killed me. Dude was more disappointed of getting killed by a feminine “man” then actually dying. 🤦🏻‍♂️😂 this dude is awesome. Crazy, but awesome.

    His answer to the regret question at 21:32 really struck me. Ironic that so many kids get involved in gangs and criminality for the love, respect and loyalty, yet this guy's experience shows the reality of that is the complete opposite. Never really heard anyone come at it from that angle before.

      Wasn't so much the answer itself for me, it was the reaction on his face. His lips quivered, almost as if he had prepared himself for the question but hearing it aloud just broke him for an instant

      The part that got me the most (humorously) was 17:43 when he recounts that he thought he was in heaven and says "Bollocks!" out of frustration. Such a light exclamation compared to the actual consequence of having died.
