In a narcissist's mind, they'll always be the victim and if you dare say anything against them to bruise their egos, you are a horrible person. You can't reason with them because reason doesn't exist to them, their truth is THE truth.
Everyone is a 'victim' anymore, right? You're a 'victim' of the woke crowd, right? & they are a victim of everything that's not them (& boy don't start them on that because they each got their little names & acronyms & shit)......stop believing and start living....we are NOT 'labels' to be merched.....
@@cindyblount8621 nothing wrong with criticizing the woke who advance their hateful ideology by using victimhood/ hatred. It’s destroying the west especially the US. Criticizing that gets you censored (my social media accounts) and in the worst case even gets you fired. Pointing that out is not the same as portraying yourself as a victim to destroy others.
As an 18 year old, I'm really worried about the future. I feel like post modernism is only just starting to take its roots and that things will get even worse in the future, as my generation has almost universally accepted this approach as the right way to see things and live their lives (sadly data backs that up). I've lost friends because of disagreements I'd had with them, and this is something that shouldn't happen. I should be able to befriend people who think differently than I do, but it seems like this is actively discouraged by today's society, and that only increases internal divisions and polarizes us based on mundane and often unimportant disagreements and views. People have stopped agreeing on the facts - and that's what's so dangerous. When they get their information from biased sources and don't even attempt to exert judgment or independent, critical thinking, they believe that anyone who disagrees with them must be a bad, bigoted person. But media is a whole other issue that I won't get into here. I'm not even a right-winger, I consider myself to be a left-leaning centrist and I have still lost friends who subscribe to the woke mob's definition of how things should be. Sometimes I think maybe I'm better off without them, but that is a wrong approach too. They aren't inherently bad people, they just think differently than me and I accept that - as long as we're basing our disagreements on the clear, true and objective facts. But that's not what happens anymore. Wokeism calls for everyone to submit to the collectivist hive mind and discourages people from voicing their actual opinions for fear of societal neglect. It's happened to me, it's happened to countless others, and it's only getting worse.
I think this is temporary. Stuff like this is always cyclical. Check out a book called ‘the fourth turning’. It talks about the cycles of society and how every one 100 years we reset and start the cycle over. I’m doing a bad job explaining it but I think you’ll find it very interesting. If you do read it, let me know what you think!
@Hot Jambalaya No, I'm not a right winger and you have no idea what you're talking about. What you're doing is subscribing to the Right Wing propaganda that attempts to have you see everything as black and white and wants you to view yourself as a victim of censure and a society that is trending rapidly leftward, something over which you have no control. That is understandable, of course, as every change in society, like what Postmodernism calls for, evokes strong feelings on the other side of the political spectrum. Left wing media wants you to think one way, and some buy into that. Right wing media wants you to think the other way, and some buy into that too. It's a never-ending cycle of propaganda that is mostly just benefitting the corporate owners of those media outlets, as more chaos and polarization means more views and clicks, which equals more money. They don't want you to think for yourself. While it's true that they report mostly accurate information, they neglect to mention the other side of the issue, or the bigger picture, because it benefits their narrative. Corporate media is thriving on such chaos and people on the political left and right just fall right into their trap, and if one lacks the ability to exert critical thinking and independent judgement, it's often hard to leave that bubble. Well, I do not see anything in black and white. Virtually every issue I can think of has many sides and aspects to consider and I don't rush to judge something based on what I see or hear, instead I look for what I don't see or what corporate media is hiding from me. That is why I consume public media and unbiased sources like the AP, Reuters, PBS, NPR, PolitiFact and FactCheck. I want the whole facts, not just the facts one side wants me to know. The manipulation of facts by the political media is why nobody can agree on anything anymore. When you don't receive the same set of facts, how can you possibly see the bigger picture, have a civil discourse and compromise? You can't. This has also led to a rise in nationalism and extremism, which is a worrying trend. Also, nobody said being a right winger is bad, I certainly haven't. I merely stated above that despite me not even being a right winger, I've lost friends with whom I disagreed on woke-ism. I hold a certain set of fact-based beliefs. Now, a majority of them align economically with traditionally liberal to moderate stances, while I am also culturally moderate. That's why I consider myself to be a left-leaning centrist. I am not an ideologue, but a pragmatist, and I don't think any one ideology can claim to hold a mandate on solutions to problems our society faces. I advocate for what works and what I consider to be fair. And there is nothing wrong with that. If you identify more closely with right wing policies, that's fine. You have the right to think whatever you want and I don't judge you for it because I don't even know you. But what you've written is just patently false. Not only can't you dismiss an entire political position because you think it's "nonsense", but to me you seem to have adopted the right wing narrative that everything is pitted against you and that society wants to dispose of people like you. That's simply not the case, but I guess you can believe whatever you want. The Left doesn't control or influence me, and I don't let the Right do that either. I simply subscribe to neither.

I knew Harry was in deep trouble when I saw that interview when they were engaged. When he started talking about Meghan being a team player in the Royal Family, the expression on her face and clinched jaw for that one second betrayed her true feelings. I remember saying out loud "he better run for his life." Boy was I right.
@@comfunc The Behavior Panel on TH-cam dissected her body language too. I love their channel for body language. The panel is made up of four experts. I recommend checking them out if you like body language analysis. I'm also going to check out the channel you recommended.
I was done listening to Markle when she said she felt isolated because she couldn't go to lunch with her friends?? Excuse me? Us peasants haven't been going to lunch either due to covid and we're in a far less glamourous setting without staffers waiting on us hand and foot. Get outta here.
Whoever the hell set up this GOFUNDME for these self-serving entitled? It's better that the money goes to organizations: Salvation Army, churches with food pantries, meds for the needed people; babies, old people, etc.
Example of children being told and encouraged to live "their truth": Little boy comes home and says "dad, I feel like I'm a girl." Stepmom proceeds to take him shopping for girl clothes, braid his hair, and take him to the nail salon to get his nail done. Oh yeah, let's not leave out the Gay Pride Parade said kid was allowed to not only attend but actually participate in. There's for living "YOUR truth".
Oprah was not interested in absolute truth. Like "Baggage Claim" explained, she sees Markle only as a black, a woman, and from the working class. Thus, she sees her as VICTIM - - oppressed by the powerful Royal Family. Nevermind that Oprah is very powerful American woman herself and Markle, by virtue of marrying Prince Harry has also become world famous, extremely wealthy and has many sycophants. Both have been said to bully (read: oppress) others of lesser social stature, yet both have promoted themselves as VICTIMS of Western European Caucasian civilization!! Such hubris and hypocrisy is hard to fathom.
Opra's reactions were overplayed and clearly lacking in spontaneity. She may have made a lot of money with this interview but lost a lot of credibility
True. Meg was denouncing very loudly the "pale and stale" white men, but her choice was invariably a wealthy white man. She is a vicious and shameless profiteer. Meg has zero sense of dignity.
@@cerenaseawell5753 yeh Harry was a perfect fit for her social climbing MO.. powerful, wealthy and easily manipulated. When this is all over his family will take him back.. he’s a very good human being, just been walked down the garden path a bit.
I've always had it drilled into me that my future husband should be like a brother to my sister and a son to my parents, not someone that should break the family apart, also that my own future husband should at least get along peacefully with my sister's future husband (not necessary best friends but at least a peaceful torelateration, that they can spend hours together without any tension flaring, but it would be ideal for our husbands to be friends) I feel true love is to be someone that loves you and you love them, but that they love your family, and yours love them too (exceptions apply of course)
Relationship with narcissist in a nutshell: You will go from being the perfect love of their life to nothing you do is ever good enough. You will give everything and they will take it all and give you less and less in return. You will end up depleted emotionally, mentally, spiritually and probably financially and then get blamed for it.
So true. I feared for the future of my three sons. They are good respectful boys, but I'm afraid of how some female have become, manipulative demanding entitled diva. These type of female will eat my sons alive and spit them out. I'm worried about how gullible my boys will be when they fell in love with these type of women.
@@Sergeant_Fury there's no guarantee I guess. Look at Harry, he's nearing 40 and he is still such a weak and gullible man who fall for Megan's every tricks
@@rockthecasbah6450 When a beautiful and intelligent woman turns on the charm, there are few men who can resist it, that is why mothers like you are so important in vetting the women their sons bring home. You can see through them in a heartbeat. It is also a good argument for arranged marriages. After all, who knows her son better than his mother?
Why do people want to be victims? I'm actually a survivor of domestic abuse and you know what I did? I ended the relationship, went to therapy, didn't broadcast that I was a victim in any way and moved on with my life and now I'm happily married to an amazing man and I love my life. I refuse to ever be a victim so this just sickens me
When I got into tiktok, I had the worst mental health ever. When I took a break and went back to therapy, I realized it's because Tiktok was brainwashing me into thinking I'm an oppressed victim (Asian, queer, abuse survivor). Then I went to therapy and realized how good of a life I have despite these victim points. I no longer want to go back to tiktok, I'm much more stronger and empowered by not being a victim
I grew up in an abusive household. My father even went to jail for the abuse. I have spent my life not to be a victim. Or not to be seen as one. I am a survivor. I am to strong to let people or my father bully me.
And that's the message of empowerment that Oprah, markle, king, Obama and Williams should be sharing. Yet instead these incredibly wealthy women want us to share their bigoted ideology because at present it suits their insidious agenda and causes further race division.
I've come to the conclusion that the phrase "my truth" is pretty much used as a stand in for "my feelings". As if feelings are not valid enough to just be called what they are. Feelings are still not the same as facts though.
@@jbel7510 When she has squeezed the last drop of usefulness from Harry what will be the next gambit, will it be looking for a high-ranking Muslim to marry?

I am in France and have been feeling this weird wave coming off the US of those social warriors bullies for a few years now and only know finding it has a name. The woke culture. Oh boy.
Woke for the privileged who are right with whatever woke is correct at any particular moment. You see, woke is an ever moving target. If you miss the target you will be canceled. The woke overlords have no compunction from calling, messaging, etc your boss until you get canceled. It is a very ugly gift from America to the world. I’m an American and am truly ashamed to think that is the best America has to offer. If you have an active, power hungry left political movement it will land on your shores and you won’t know what hit you. Black Lives Matter is at the forefront of this movement along with the Tech and social media oligarchs.
Please resist and fight against it, it's a malignant mind cancer. One of the US's worst exports. Although France has also done its fair share to contribute to the postmodernist bullshit mindset with all its leftist "philosophers."
@@annemary9680 Absolutely! Horrible things happened here around the 70's and on, particularly to kids when morals flew out the window and they decided the reshape the world free of moral constructs. And now I can see it happen again, differently but same bs in the end. I am trying to raise awareness on that, people here still have a completely flouted imagine of the US through the media and that minorities are victimised to the core and that's pretty much it.
Funny enough, woke culture is basically an evolution of thought that got there because leftist German and French academics came to the US during WW2 and in the 70s. Traditional class based Marxism didn't really work so well in the US like it did in Europe because the US had such high socioeconomic mobility due to having more economic freedom, so they apploed Marxist principles to aspects of culture: race, gender, orientation, etc. Woke culture is essentially that mixed with postmodernism which derived from a bunch if degenerate pedophile academics and philosophers from France (actually, the theory that sexuality exists on a spectrum was imvented by a guy who appears to have come up with a such a concept in order to legitimize pedophilic attraction). These ideas took root in the US because they were groomed into people over a handful of generations through higher education, constantly changing, evolving and trying to work out the kinks, and now it's trickling out into business, culture, politics and lower education. People had been warning about it's inevitable impact on wider society as far back as 2014 (Gamergate was in some ways an expression of the culture wars where people were criticizing corruption in games media and the woke infiltration of feminism and identity polotics that has tried to take over the subculture and it against them.) Unfortunately, mainstream society either didn't know what was going on or didn't care. And now we are where we are.
@@JJ-iq8mi Horrific watching on if one has lived through this process. Sounds like you have. I am no royalist (I am british) but my affective empathy responds to his plight. Psychopathology destroys the lives of others be they prince, princess or pauper
@@cerenaseawell5753 Actually, you're right. Though I believe he"s also a victim of a preying narcissist, I feel the same way about him. He's a weak, shallow man child. Not sure if caused by the trauma of losing his mother at a young age. William lost his mother too, he seems to have found solid ground within himself. Also, made a better choice with his wife. Harry is setting himself up for things to fall apart in time, money and fame won't help him once he "wakes" up. "Waking Up" will be the worst thing he can do being married to a narcissist, that's when the rollercoaster ride really begins. She will destroy him any way she can. I'm sorry to say, I really don't feel all that sorry for him. His brother and from what I hear his father warned him. He didn't listen. Instead he willingly let her isolate him from his family, won't be able to expect much help there. He kinda made his bed.
The way Meghan walks onto the balcony at 1:32 is so telling. She has the expression of someone who is the guest of honour at an event, though with a lot less fake humility than she might realise.
People that can read facial expressions and have lived with narcissists can see the look of joy in both Amber and Meghan's eyes as they talk about their problems. They both appeared to enjoy sharing negative experiences. Neither are good enough actors to hide their love of attention and are too narcissistic to know that loving attention in the form of craving the sympathy of others (including a whole world of strangers) does not sit right with a lot of people.
Yes Megan definetly had that dupers delight look a couple of times during the Oprah interview. I think Oprah saw the real Megan there, she's talked to many Megans..attention seeking liars.
@@S.richi3568 Oprah has a bit of her own narcissistic smirk at times (not necessarily in this interview) so I think she’s got a blind spot where Megan‘s black half is concerned.
@@S.richi3568 When she's talking about the skin colour issue she delivers her lines like a Mexican soap opera dialogue when they are going to revel who's the real father of the main character. That's enough proof to me.
@@jackiep6704 actually someone else might be on crack as postmodernism is something entirely different and arguably a reaction to these very ideas.. which seem to more closely resemble Marxist thought with the focus on equity, power politics, philosophical materialism etc. do your research people
Thank you so much for your pointing out the pernicious nature of Post-Modernism! I knew something was going on with people but you threw a spotlight on it. The whole idea of all relationships being only oppressors/victims, with no room for equality. Branding everyone of a particular ethnic group as racist, because some are is truly stealth prejudice. What you state about this evil philosophy taking away individuality, the recognition that each person is to be judged on their character, is a revelation for me. Knowing what post-modernism for what it is, better enables an individual to recognize it for the baseless fraud that it is and the root of much needless conflict.
Just look at films of Harry, his whole body language, mannerisms everything about the guy is that of a broken man, and not a person of free will. M looks excited and charged, Harry looks deflated. If he thought he was running second to William, he isn’t even in the same space as M. She is in her destructive glory.
Sadly I have already seen this happen. In the late 90s a young girl, who was in foster care, didn't like the rules her foster parents were setting, so she lied and reported the husband of the couple for sexually assaulting her. Some time later, after he had been registered for a while, she admitted that it wasn't true. Was his sentence reversed? No. It did not matter that he was an innocent man wrongfully accused and convicted. It also almost happened in the early 2000's again. This time two girls who saw an episode of SVU, decided to lie to people that their male teacher touched them inappropriately. Other students came forward and stated that the 2 girls were not alone with him at anytime they had claimed.
I am surprised to see such a thoughtful analysis of postmodernist implications in our time. It is rare to hear anyone/anything critical of woke narratives pushing their preconceived notions of victimhood down our throats. I keep thinking about the dark road society is headed towards after the left and "woke" culture gaining underserved momentum. Rarely do I get to hear analysis confirming my sense of concern. mainstreaming postmodernist pov is the first step to a Marxist revolution. for Marxists, everything is about oppression. we are raising a generation of youth with glorified victimhood complexes. Most who try to fight back are scared of being accused of being racist/sexist/bigoted/xenophobic/islamophobic etc help your friends, family, peers to fight back and see through their bs.
I'm here a year later and your words ring more true than ever. I hate this road we're on, the stormclouds are gathering. It's up to us adults in the room to clean up the mess that these spoiled, entitled, brainwashed brats keep making.
I agree. As a black person it’s hard to call this stuff out with being seen as anti- black, or hating our women/LGBTQ. Most people aren’t identifying themselves as Marxist’s they just see it as culture. Im pretty sympathetic to the racism stuff but everything else revolves around identity politics I can see right through it and it irks me.
I think the difference b/w Kate and William's engagement interview and Meghan and Harry's interview was so telling. In Kate's interview, she was not afraid to reveal her uncertain position when it came to William, her initial nervousness about being aroudn him, her unhappiness about the fact that they had split up... she just came across as real. She came across as vulnerable, because she knew she was, that she didn't have control over the situation (because she didn't have control over William). But she accepted it. Instead of painting the story and herself and all rosy, she saw no reason to hide those maybe less flattering points in their relationship and that she wasn't happy with them at the time. That's what a normal person would do. During Meghan's interview, it's all literally unbelievable. A normal person would be like, "yeah sure, I heard about Harry. Who hasn't? I was nervous about meeting a prince and I couldn't really believe it." It's like at every turn she needs to paint herself as utterly perfect. It's pretty crazy actually.
Thank You. We are headed in the wrong direction. As a minority immigrant, I will never stand for the "woke"...we know where this leads. We have seen it in countries like North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Soviet Union, etc
Not sure what you mean....people fled those countries.....why did they? BTW I loathe Markle & though I realize abuse against women is endemic & misogyny rampant: I do not buy Heard for an american sec (& our seconds are shorter than the rest of the world, believe me, lol)
There's an old saying "America sneezes and the rest of the world catches a cold." If America succumbs to the influence of postmodern thinking, it's going to be a global catastrophe not just a national one. If people want a one world global fascist dictatorship, let the postmodernists win with their "my feelings are facts" propaganda.
It's all about feelings, not facts. People jump to the side of what seems to be the victim without checking facts. You nailed the analysis. We need to push individualism as much as possible.
"Feel angry for being victimized or be guilty for being successful" perfect example of this is Serena Williams vs Naomi Osaka. Poor Naomi apologized for winning and covered her face from the crowd because Serena was too busy playing the victim during the match.
what the hell is post & pre - I make fun of that shit.....live life without an acronym or a post/pre: then you're really truly post & pre & all that jazz... lol whatever
Great explanation for all the craziness that's going on. I'm all for raising people's consciousness on important issues, but I do fear that so many in the younger generations have sacrificed their critical thinking. Years ago I'd never have thought it was possible to be 'too woke', but now we've created a monster of political correctness that oppresses and engenders hate.
@@witchplease9695 hmmm-I disagree I tend to see this video as a reminder of how much has the western world fallen down from intelligence and truth to the stupidness and woke/cancel culture in the recent years-and I am the most happy person for not living in your world...but that is just my opinion-I am not a part of cancel culture so I won't call you a racist, even tho I know that the cancel culture people 100% don't understand what racism is.
As a black woman, I’m just asking for *the truth*. Not the victim’s truth, not the abuser’s. THE TRUTH. Its known fact that people will perceive things in different ways, its natural. Thats why evidence is needed. Receipts and all. Just because you’re a woman, you’re black or another racial minority, your gay, trans whatever. I wanna be fair to you, I wanna believe you, and I sure as hell aint gonna belittle you for what you’re feeling. *But i need the evidence.* Its necessary when we live in a world where people would use such factors as weapons against others, to put others down in order to shine a better light on themselves. We’re striving for fairness to all right? Then lets do this the mature way.
Harry's grandfather died today. If he didn't already regret his actions, he probably does now. He lost the opportunity to say goodbye to someone he was very close to. He can never get that back.
You're right and hopefully the seed of his resentment for her will be planted. Removing the mask of a narcissist can, for the victim, take a really long time (if it ever happens) but no one can remove the mask but him. She is giving him children, very early in the marriage, as a means to tether him to her and it's a very powerful rope. The likelihood of him leaving her before his children are grown, even if he discovers who she genuinely is, is practically nil.
You’re perfect, you’re beautiful! Everything about you is perfect! Did you make that baby? Oh, you’re having an exclusive interview with Oprah. They eat her up EVERY SINGLE TIME she’s on that damned camera. She could walk out there in a fucking diaper and they’d be like, “Meghan Markle, Your truth is beautiful”
So happy to hear someone speak out against the "your truth" idea. There is only the truth and the truth is based on facts. Facts don't care about anyone's feelings.
Your truth, my truth, her truth, his truth is not the Truth... Only the true TRUTH is the truth! When your facts can be fact-checked by others then and only then it becomes the truth🤯
As a Democrat I constantly get called "Oh you're old fashioned, cause you won't believe women right away." and I'm like "No I want to see facts, and yes just cause I'm a democrat," I want facts, and I didn't believe Amber Heard and SUDDENLY when Johnny Depp has proven innocent not a damn peep, from anyone.
I get it. I left Twitter because I was sick of the bullies trying to shame me for not being a Progressive, or a DINO. It gave me empathy for all those RINOs out there
I thought all democrats believe anything anyone says. I was born a man and now I am a girl. It’s my body. Printing money won’t cause inflation. I am not corrupt and neither is my son, Hunter. Biden/Harris will be great leaders.
we Lefties know what you mean. It’s the neoliberal Dems who won’t stop virtue signaling (cough, Hillary). Kavanaugh’s accuser was suspish, too. But Biden’s accusers? Nah, #MeToo. Bernie is a white male? Oh he must be sexist.
Narcissists weaponise emotion and sentiment to their advantage. I’ve seen it on display all my life with both my parents being narcissists. Only the members of the family and God knows what truly happens in their homes unless it leaks out.
The worst thing in my opinion is the call in modern culture for tolerance, but that they simultaneously think it’s okay to go off on you and accuse you of bigotry based on the idea that some opinions or ideas are actively hate speech
Tolerance? In my experience, if you even slightly disagree with the super-woke, you are subjected to a barrage of hate, personal insults, and intolerance!! Lol 😂
I get frustrated that these types always get away with this. No matter how much proof is show to call out their behaviour it is ignored and they continue.
You can’t have your own opinion these days unless they call you something it’s so frustrating, Narcissist springs to mind about these two people. #JusticeForJohnnyDepp
I spoke to two older gentlemen recently. And after they disagreed on a few topics I mentioned how I appreciated seeing people disagree without it being a fight. They were just confused. I miss conversations like these.
Agree. This post modernism all over penetrated into our lives and govern how to think and react... objectivity isn't important anymore.. they all twist facts and situations to the group's interest.. so powerful... and I'm worried about ppl getting dumped not to look at the reality but to listen to someone who is powerful...
Thank you Baggage Claim! As always, your videos take me down a deep rabbit hole of reading and assessing your insights. I have just spent the last 20 minutes reading up more on Postmodernism!
Please also do a breakdown of Serena Williams as well how she yelled at the umpire and Osaka victory being ignored and many different aspects You literally broadened my outlook about some people
yes Serena Williams lost the game fair and square and she behaved like a brat on international Tv yeah , there is a reason they are great friends Meghan is an opportunist , i mean the interview on Oprah showed her true character, yes she said her version but she accused the Royal family of racism ,mentioned that they didnt receive enough financial support when they live in big houses, have food ... and yeah does she and harry not understand that the Royal protection costs lots of money ... i Mean that is just being spoiled
How she behaved is not so different to how many other men behave when they loose. But how the media chose to ignore Osakas victory has nothing to do with Serena. She paved the way for Osaka, and has battled a lot with how she has been unfairly represented. So please don't come for Serena, she has her flaws but she has not done anything that we know of that warrants any scrutiny that you are looking for. A lot of people are friends with the wrong people, usually because they don't know them really well. Like Johnny Depp and Marilyn Manson.
Ok she got worked up. So does many players. Virat kohli himself abused left and right during cricket matches, but he is hailed as competitive and macho. But when serena did that, she got a lot of backlash. What she has achieved in her career is not only hard work, but cut throat competitive attitude.
*Harry must have known the people Meghan Markle was going to meet and socialise with were out of her league especially after she was caught with a camera photographing the interior of Kensington Palace and thereafter was forbidden to walk around similar properties unescorted. The view formed then was: She may-well-be gathering private information on them to be sold-on to newspapers, supermarket tabloids and tv stations. The Oprah W show is just for starters. Piers Morgan and Sharon Osbourne nailed her correctly and they both deserve all our thanks and praise*
@@vordman *Actually, someone let Kate know that Megham held a private conversation with a dressmaker from Givenchy (the wedding dress designers making the wedding and bridesmaids dresses for Meghan), who afterward was reported to have described Meghan remarking (to this designer) that Prince George and his sister Princess Charlotte - were "those two spoilt brats" with Princess Charlotte being the one with the posh accent. As if this gaffe was not bad enough she then imitated Charlotte speaking voice. When you hear this you can sense Tower Bridge being closed on her. This bad omens ahead news spread and it was downhill thereafter. The LA street kid was an LA street kid and had just proved it. Goodbyeee*
You just voiced my opinions on this perfectly. I find the way society is "progressing" so sad and free speech is absolutely dying out while people seem to believe that it is getting better and better. Social progress is creating a kind of dystopia in which people fear to even mention any controversial topics lest they be misunderstood, and people are forced into a set of opinions from which any divergence can cause them to be shunned by people around them. People's stories of victimhood get so ridiculous and farfetched and yet people are brainwashed into believing them, fearing that if they don't, they are morally wrong. Thank god some people are still willing to speak out about this. Good on you!
Another well researched deep video well connected to other related events , excellent. 👍 It is extremely dangerous when " "someone's truth" is considered more important that FACTS OR EVIDENCE . Thank-you
Well thought out and good video. I can't wrap my head around this new age term of "My Truth" There is only one truth, and that is "THE Truth". If this way of thinking continues unchecked, there may come a time when no one is ever guilty of a crime because their truth is different from reality
I still think it's important to fight against racism and seismic, to recognize it and call it out, but using that as an excuse for bad behavior and a shield against criticism is hugely problematic and allows narcissists to flourish, and that worries me. Anybody can be an asshole and should be called out as such if so. Edit: sexism, not seismic. Damn autocorrect.

We worked so long and so hard to build on MLKs great dream to judge on the content of character and not the color of skin and this ‘movement’ is undoing all of it and actually getting many poc to demand to be judged by their race. And as a side note, that clip with Megan Markle trying so hard but succeeding only in invading the Queen’s personal space, only to be tapped on the leg to basically back off is so awkward. She just thought the centuries old Royal Family and their norms didn’t apply to her because she’s so special and woke.
I wish I could like your comment more than once! I breaks my heart the way POC are being led unthinkingly into a new apartheid. It's crazy! (And I noticed that moment with the Queen too! Absolute Cringe!)
To be fair and only in this instances I don't think any old royal family is free from criticism hell Markle was a "royal" before she got with Harry really that whole family and connecting royal families are shady as shit especially with their "norms"
That MLK quote is often taken out of context, later on he said its unrealistic to ask to not be judged by colour in front of a racist. I agree it should never be the forefront of your entire identity but its a bit idealistic to pretend it has no impact on how people treat each other.
Playing the victim card is very easy. U see that in religion, in celebrities, in relationships, in societies. The person/ people will bring out something different about themselves, e.g. gender, identity, skin colour, use that as a reason that they are being victimised, blame societies and other people besides themselves, people gullibly believe them eventually.
Exactly. This "woke" movement convinces people that we must automatically believe a person was victimized without any actual proof or logic. Anyone who merely questions thems or shares their opposed opinion are automatically deemed a racist, "unconsciously biased" ,or bigoted. Its scary how a movement basically bullies people into silence in fear of being labeled these terms or even being "cancelled" if they have a large platform to express their opinions.
There are people dying of starvation and here you have people that can't deal with loud clapping. They have everything. A house/apartment. Food. Shower. Bed. It's not enough for them.
No one can argue with a narcissist, that how it is these days and it is a problem when people believe them than the people who tries to argue with them.
That was very interesting. The thing about "your truth" reminded me of "Cloud Atlas" where they ask Sonmi for "her version of the truth" and she replies: "Truth is singular. Its versions are mistruths."
This stuff helps my depression. My abusive ex got away with everything because she became gender fluid, she's a lil white girl and I'm an older mixed guy. It's not a good world to live in anymore. I learned very differently
I hope things have gotten better for you, and/or that good things continue to come your way, maybe even a new lady in your life. :) It is truly absurd to think that because us men are (on average) talller and physically stronger, no female partner can ever be abusive, dangerous and violent. Does a knife or a broken beer bottle not cut both women and men? Does fire not burn the flesh of anyone, male or female? To what extent does a man have to be hurt physically and damaged psychologically before we can say there is domestic violence and spousal abuse and he's the survivor not the perpetrator? That's what happened to Johnny Depp, and to yourself (but differently, I am sure). It's really offensive how people think being male somehow makes us impervious to insults and calumnies, emotional manipulation, and even physical hurt. I know saying "I'm sorry this happened to you" doesn't fix anything at all. I can only hope that there were and there still are good people in your life who helped you.

I have been noticing this lately. Some people will scream at you about what they see as the best opinion and then berate you for not doing enough in their eyes.
I think postmodernism can in many cases actually make sense when speaking purely about groups. That is probably also the intent of the original thinkers behind this philosophy. F.e., is there a power dynamic between fathers and sons? Well technically yes. Is there a power dynamic in trade relations between countries (even if both benefit)? Again, yes there is. And is there a power dynamic between different groups within a society that have clashing interests? Yes. There are countless power dynamics between individuals, social groups and entire societies/countries. But what do you do with this information? Does the fact that there is a power dynamic between father and son mean that parenting is literally oppression? No. It can be oppression, but a power dynamic is not inherently oppression. And to go even further, does this mean that the son, should he put on a show of victimhood, is always correct or "his truth" is valid without exception? Of course not. I feel like the general populace, who aren't philosophers, take on postmodernism without actually understanding it and apply it to just about everything. Yes, we can define many elements of society as a power dynamic. But the real question is what do we do with this information? And how do we interpret that information? Your typical woke person doesn't have a clue and they come to absolutist conclusions like "there is a power dynamic between group X and Y, therefore all individuals within group X are oppressed by all individuals of group Y". Reality doesn't work like that. Postmodernism is an interesting philosophy and has its merits, but some people corrupt it and take it to extreme levels.
Postmodernism attempts to make quirks out of sensible solutions. Its predecessor, Modernism, attempts the diametrical opposite. Say you have 16 acres of prime Lower Manhattan real estate and there's a ton of inefficient-yet-quirky buildings on that site that make up a rather charming little enclave. Your ownership, through the power dynamics it enables, allows you to effectively call the shots for that neighborhood. Ownership of that site for instance, has little real impact on the new buildings happening to pop up in Midtown, if no action is taken by the owner. You know what does have an impact city-wide? Building 7 brand-new, state of the art buildings in that neighborhood, 2 of them the largest-ever towers built to date, creating an attraction that would transform the skyline of Manhattan as a whole. We shouldn't look at power differentials as oppression in and of themselves. As long as a free exchange of goods and services is being provided, and fair compensation is given to each side, that's all that matters. As long as the tenants of the older buildings were being paid enough money to buy them out from the rest of their leases and as long as no tenants raise undue criticism, nobody should care on that front. We should look at whether or not people are abusing power differentials to effectively tangle up people's personal lives and extract what they can from said suffering for their own benefit. That's oppression.
@@brandonfj5811 That's the exact process I was trying to describe. I don't mind it, but I hate the idea of masking it and trying to somehow be pretentious around that whole debate. That's what really gets me under my skin, and that's what's wrong about the current debate, and in my experience, what gets me under my skin is usually something that ought to be eliminated. I won't give any examples because I would have to give it in person.
I believe you're confusing postmodernism with intersectionality. Postmodernism is the philosophy of skepticism towards the ideas of modernism, such as reason, science, etc and places far more importance on individual perspective. Intersectionality is a framework in which there are victim groups (women, black people, trans, etc.) and oppressor/privileged groups (men, white, cis, etc.). The idea behind it is that issues that affect one group affect all other groups and so the groups must work together to affect larger social change, which would adequately describe what you're getting at.
On paper, but the line between them is hazy, when the latter start demonising ideas as being based on "oppression". Furthermore, intersectionality is garbage because it has that oversimplification that you're either "oppressed" or an "oppressor." The effect of this way of thinking is bizarre, because you get ideas such as a multimillionaire female socialite is oppressed by a homeless man on account of gender. You get intersectionality people openly shitting on male domestic violence victims because they're from an "oppressor class," and their abusive female partners are "oppressed" by them/can't abuse them because abuse is caused by "oppression" rather than the demons of the individual/are merely "fighting back against their male oppressors" hence their open support of Amber Heard and vilification of Johnny Depp. Personally, I've seen intersectional feminists actively celebrating female abusers, even rape of men, as "payback for oppression" and as a sexual assault survivor that marks them down as abuse apologists.

@@cindyblount8621 yes!!
@@cindyblount8621 nothing wrong with criticizing the woke who advance their hateful ideology by using victimhood/ hatred. It’s destroying the west especially the US. Criticizing that gets you censored (my social media accounts) and in the worst case even gets you fired. Pointing that out is not the same as portraying yourself as a victim to destroy others.
As an 18 year old, I'm really worried about the future. I feel like post modernism is only just starting to take its roots and that things will get even worse in the future, as my generation has almost universally accepted this approach as the right way to see things and live their lives (sadly data backs that up). I've lost friends because of disagreements I'd had with them, and this is something that shouldn't happen. I should be able to befriend people who think differently than I do, but it seems like this is actively discouraged by today's society, and that only increases internal divisions and polarizes us based on mundane and often unimportant disagreements and views. People have stopped agreeing on the facts - and that's what's so dangerous. When they get their information from biased sources and don't even attempt to exert judgment or independent, critical thinking, they believe that anyone who disagrees with them must be a bad, bigoted person. But media is a whole other issue that I won't get into here.
I'm not even a right-winger, I consider myself to be a left-leaning centrist and I have still lost friends who subscribe to the woke mob's definition of how things should be. Sometimes I think maybe I'm better off without them, but that is a wrong approach too. They aren't inherently bad people, they just think differently than me and I accept that - as long as we're basing our disagreements on the clear, true and objective facts. But that's not what happens anymore. Wokeism calls for everyone to submit to the collectivist hive mind and discourages people from voicing their actual opinions for fear of societal neglect. It's happened to me, it's happened to countless others, and it's only getting worse.
I think this is temporary. Stuff like this is always cyclical. Check out a book called ‘the fourth turning’. It talks about the cycles of society and how every one 100 years we reset and start the cycle over. I’m doing a bad job explaining it but I think you’ll find it very interesting. If you do read it, let me know what you think!
@@BaggageClaim I'll check it out, thanks!
@Hot Jambalaya No, I'm not a right winger and you have no idea what you're talking about. What you're doing is subscribing to the Right Wing propaganda that attempts to have you see everything as black and white and wants you to view yourself as a victim of censure and a society that is trending rapidly leftward, something over which you have no control. That is understandable, of course, as every change in society, like what Postmodernism calls for, evokes strong feelings on the other side of the political spectrum. Left wing media wants you to think one way, and some buy into that. Right wing media wants you to think the other way, and some buy into that too. It's a never-ending cycle of propaganda that is mostly just benefitting the corporate owners of those media outlets, as more chaos and polarization means more views and clicks, which equals more money. They don't want you to think for yourself. While it's true that they report mostly accurate information, they neglect to mention the other side of the issue, or the bigger picture, because it benefits their narrative. Corporate media is thriving on such chaos and people on the political left and right just fall right into their trap, and if one lacks the ability to exert critical thinking and independent judgement, it's often hard to leave that bubble.
Well, I do not see anything in black and white. Virtually every issue I can think of has many sides and aspects to consider and I don't rush to judge something based on what I see or hear, instead I look for what I don't see or what corporate media is hiding from me. That is why I consume public media and unbiased sources like the AP, Reuters, PBS, NPR, PolitiFact and FactCheck. I want the whole facts, not just the facts one side wants me to know. The manipulation of facts by the political media is why nobody can agree on anything anymore. When you don't receive the same set of facts, how can you possibly see the bigger picture, have a civil discourse and compromise? You can't. This has also led to a rise in nationalism and extremism, which is a worrying trend.
Also, nobody said being a right winger is bad, I certainly haven't. I merely stated above that despite me not even being a right winger, I've lost friends with whom I disagreed on woke-ism.
I hold a certain set of fact-based beliefs. Now, a majority of them align economically with traditionally liberal to moderate stances, while I am also culturally moderate. That's why I consider myself to be a left-leaning centrist. I am not an ideologue, but a pragmatist, and I don't think any one ideology can claim to hold a mandate on solutions to problems our society faces. I advocate for what works and what I consider to be fair. And there is nothing wrong with that.
If you identify more closely with right wing policies, that's fine. You have the right to think whatever you want and I don't judge you for it because I don't even know you. But what you've written is just patently false. Not only can't you dismiss an entire political position because you think it's "nonsense", but to me you seem to have adopted the right wing narrative that everything is pitted against you and that society wants to dispose of people like you. That's simply not the case, but I guess you can believe whatever you want. The Left doesn't control or influence me, and I don't let the Right do that either. I simply subscribe to neither.

Stepmom proceeds to take him shopping for girl clothes, braid his hair, and take him to the nail salon to get his nail done. Oh yeah, let's not leave out the Gay Pride Parade said kid was allowed to not only attend but actually participate in. There's for living "YOUR truth".
Absolute proof should be required in all circumstances. Oprah should have asked for some proof.
Oprah was not interested in absolute truth. Like "Baggage Claim" explained, she sees Markle only as a black, a woman, and from the working class. Thus, she sees her as VICTIM - - oppressed by the powerful Royal Family. Nevermind that Oprah is very powerful American woman herself and Markle, by virtue of marrying Prince Harry has also become world famous, extremely wealthy and has many sycophants. Both have been said to bully (read: oppress) others of lesser social stature, yet both have promoted themselves as VICTIMS of Western European Caucasian civilization!!

I am trying to raise awareness on that, people here still have a completely flouted imagine of the US through the media and that minorities are victimised to the core and that's pretty much it.
Funny enough, woke culture is basically an evolution of thought that got there because leftist German and French academics came to the US during WW2 and in the 70s. Traditional class based Marxism didn't really work so well in the US like it did in Europe because the US had such high socioeconomic mobility due to having more economic freedom, so they apploed Marxist principles to aspects of culture: race, gender, orientation, etc. Woke culture is essentially that mixed with postmodernism which derived from a bunch if degenerate pedophile academics and philosophers from France (actually, the theory that sexuality exists on a spectrum was imvented by a guy who appears to have come up with a such a concept in order to legitimize pedophilic attraction). These ideas took root in the US because they were groomed into people over a handful of generations through higher education, constantly changing, evolving and trying to work out the kinks, and now it's trickling out into business, culture, politics and lower education. People had been warning about it's inevitable impact on wider society as far back as 2014 (Gamergate was in some ways an expression of the culture wars where people were criticizing corruption in games media and the woke infiltration of feminism and identity polotics that has tried to take over the subculture and it against them.)

People that can read facial expressions and have lived with narcissists can see the look of joy in both Amber and Meghan's eyes as they talk about their problems. They both appeared to enjoy sharing negative experiences. Neither are good enough actors to hide their love of attention and are too narcissistic to know that loving attention in the form of craving the sympathy of others (including a whole world of strangers) does not sit right with a lot of people.
Yes Megan definetly had that dupers delight look a couple of times during the Oprah interview. I think Oprah saw the real Megan there, she's talked to many Megans..attention seeking liars.
@@S.richi3568 Oprah has a bit of her own narcissistic smirk at times (not necessarily in this interview) so I think she’s got a blind spot where Megan‘s black half is concerned.
There is a body language reader that actually says Meghan is honest.. . The same one says Amber lied.
@@S.richi3568 When she's talking about the skin colour issue she delivers her lines like a Mexican soap opera dialogue when they are going to revel who's the real father of the main character. That's enough proof to me.

Thank you so much for your pointing out the pernicious nature of Post-Modernism!
I knew something was going on with people but you threw a spotlight on it.
The whole idea of all relationships being only oppressors/victims, with no room for equality. Branding everyone of a particular ethnic group as racist, because some are is truly stealth prejudice.
What you state about this evil philosophy taking away individuality, the recognition that each person is to be judged on their character, is a revelation for me. Knowing what post-modernism for what it is, better enables an individual to recognize it for the baseless fraud that it is and the root of much needless conflict.
Just look at films of Harry, his whole body language, mannerisms everything about the guy is that of a broken man, and not a person of free will. M looks excited and charged, Harry looks deflated. If he thought he was running second to William, he isn’t even in the same space as M. She is in her destructive glory.
“The truth” will set you free. “Your truth” will put an innocent man in chains ⛓
This needs to become a quote.
Sadly I have already seen this happen. In the late 90s a young girl, who was in foster care, didn't like the rules her foster parents were setting, so she lied and reported the husband of the couple for sexually assaulting her. Some time later, after he had been registered for a while, she admitted that it wasn't true. Was his sentence reversed? No. It did not matter that he was an innocent man wrongfully accused and convicted. It also almost happened in the early 2000's again. This time two girls who saw an episode of SVU, decided to lie to people that their male teacher touched them inappropriately. Other students came forward and stated that the 2 girls were not alone with him at anytime they had claimed.
@@MaggieCandy999 it already is...
Well said... I remember Oprah talking about "Her truth" (Megans) I almost thew up
"Your truth" is SELDOM the real truth
Absolutely spot on
I am surprised to see such a thoughtful analysis of postmodernist implications in our time. It is rare to hear anyone/anything critical of woke narratives pushing their preconceived notions of victimhood down our throats. I keep thinking about the dark road society is headed towards after the left and "woke" culture gaining underserved momentum. Rarely do I get to hear analysis confirming my sense of concern.
mainstreaming postmodernist pov is the first step to a Marxist revolution. for Marxists, everything is about oppression. we are raising a generation of youth with glorified victimhood complexes. Most who try to fight back are scared of being accused of being racist/sexist/bigoted/xenophobic/islamophobic etc help your friends, family, peers to fight back and see through their bs.
Yes yes exactly!!
I'm here a year later and your words ring more true than ever. I hate this road we're on, the stormclouds are gathering. It's up to us adults in the room to clean up the mess that these spoiled, entitled, brainwashed brats keep making.
Woke IS racist.
I agree. As a black person it’s hard to call this stuff out with being seen as anti- black, or hating our women/LGBTQ. Most people aren’t identifying themselves as Marxist’s they just see it as culture. Im pretty sympathetic to the racism stuff but everything else revolves around identity politics I can see right through it and it irks me.
Agree with you. Two years after your comment and the far left is losing a lot of traction as it's become more and more insane.
It is sad that we have gotten to a point in society where people do not know the difference between truth and perception.
👍🏼👍🏼
I think the difference b/w Kate and William's engagement interview and Meghan and Harry's interview was so telling. In Kate's interview, she was not afraid to reveal her uncertain position when it came to William, her initial nervousness about being aroudn him, her unhappiness about the fact that they had split up... she just came across as real. She came across as vulnerable, because she knew she was, that she didn't have control over the situation (because she didn't have control over William). But she accepted it. Instead of painting the story and herself and all rosy, she saw no reason to hide those maybe less flattering points in their relationship and that she wasn't happy with them at the time. That's what a normal person would do. During Meghan's interview, it's all literally unbelievable. A normal person would be like, "yeah sure, I heard about Harry. Who hasn't? I was nervous about meeting a prince and I couldn't really believe it." It's like at every turn she needs to paint herself as utterly perfect. It's pretty crazy actually.
Yes!
Good point !!!!!
Kate was all mumblecore, she just mumblesd and said not much of substance, her causes her platform, etc!

As a black woman, I’m just asking for *the truth*. Not the victim’s truth, not the abuser’s. THE TRUTH.
Its known fact that people will perceive things in different ways, its natural. Thats why evidence is needed. Receipts and all. Just because you’re a woman, you’re black or another racial minority, your gay, trans whatever. I wanna be fair to you, I wanna believe you, and I sure as hell aint gonna belittle you for what you’re feeling. *But i need the evidence.* Its necessary when we live in a world where people would use such factors as weapons against others, to put others down in order to shine a better light on themselves.

@@iwillwh00pyoa52 LISTEN to all women is much more fair all around than "Believe all women". Amber just proved that.

Meghan Markle and Amber Heard are the definition of "gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss"
Harry's grandfather died today. If he didn't already regret his actions, he probably does now. He lost the opportunity to say goodbye to someone he was very close to. He can never get that back.
He got to spend time listening to Meghan's self-absorbed BS instead.
Or not. It’s not right to assume everyone has the perfect relationship with everyone in their family.
Yes his mother died painfully too
He didn't speak to his grandfather for the last year of his life. That's shameful. One day when he's older and wiser that truth will crush him.
You're right and hopefully the seed of his resentment for her will be planted. Removing the mask of a narcissist can, for the victim, take a really long time (if it ever happens) but no one can remove the mask but him. She is giving him children, very early in the marriage, as a means to tether him to her and it's a very powerful rope. The likelihood of him leaving her before his children are grown, even if he discovers who she genuinely is, is practically nil.

Narcissists weaponise emotion and sentiment to their advantage. I’ve seen it on display all my life with both my parents being narcissists. Only the members of the family and God knows what truly happens in their homes unless it leaks out.

The worst thing in my opinion is the call in modern culture for tolerance, but that they simultaneously think it’s okay to go off on you and accuse you of bigotry based on the idea that some opinions or ideas are actively hate speech

Please also do a breakdown of Serena Williams as well how she yelled at the umpire and Osaka victory being ignored and many different aspects
You literally broadened my outlook about some people
she is horrible,no wonder her and megain are besties,I see it now
Man she really is some piece of work. I love how Novak gave her ****!
yes Serena Williams lost the game fair and square and she behaved like a brat on international Tv yeah , there is a reason they are great friends Meghan is an opportunist , i mean the interview on Oprah showed her true character, yes she said her version but she accused the Royal family of racism ,mentioned that they didnt receive enough financial support when they live in big houses, have food ... and yeah does she and harry not understand that the Royal protection costs lots of money ... i Mean that is just being spoiled
How she behaved is not so different to how many other men behave when they loose. But how the media chose to ignore Osakas victory has nothing to do with Serena. She paved the way for Osaka, and has battled a lot with how she has been unfairly represented. So please don't come for Serena, she has her flaws but she has not done anything that we know of that warrants any scrutiny that you are looking for. A lot of people are friends with the wrong people, usually because they don't know them really well. Like Johnny Depp and Marilyn Manson.
Ok she got worked up. So does many players. Virat kohli himself abused left and right during cricket matches, but he is hailed as competitive and macho. But when serena did that, she got a lot of backlash. What she has achieved in her career is not only hard work, but cut throat competitive attitude.
*Harry must have known the people Meghan Markle was going to meet and socialise with were out of her league especially after she was caught with a camera photographing the interior of Kensington Palace and thereafter was forbidden to walk around similar properties unescorted. The view formed then was: She may-well-be gathering private information on them to be sold-on to newspapers, supermarket tabloids and tv stations. The Oprah W show is just for starters. Piers Morgan and Sharon Osbourne nailed her correctly and they both deserve all our thanks and praise*
PipersSon Actually, those two were late to the party. Most people could she was a wrong 'un from the start. Including Prince William.
@@vordman *Actually, someone let Kate know that Megham held a private conversation with a dressmaker from Givenchy (the wedding dress designers making the wedding and bridesmaids dresses for Meghan), who afterward was reported to have described Meghan remarking (to this designer) that Prince George and his sister Princess Charlotte - were "those two spoilt brats" with Princess Charlotte being the one with the posh accent. As if this gaffe was not bad enough she then imitated Charlotte speaking voice. When you hear this you can sense Tower Bridge being closed on her. This bad omens ahead news spread and it was downhill thereafter. The LA street kid was an LA street kid and had just proved it. Goodbyeee*
You just voiced my opinions on this perfectly. I find the way society is "progressing" so sad and free speech is absolutely dying out while people seem to believe that it is getting better and better. Social progress is creating a kind of dystopia in which people fear to even mention any controversial topics lest they be misunderstood, and people are forced into a set of opinions from which any divergence can cause them to be shunned by people around them. People's stories of victimhood get so ridiculous and farfetched and yet people are brainwashed into believing them, fearing that if they don't, they are morally wrong. Thank god some people are still willing to speak out about this. Good on you!

And as a side note, that clip with Megan Markle trying so hard but succeeding only in invading the Queen’s personal space, only to be tapped on the leg to basically back off is so awkward.

To be fair and only in this instances I don't think any old royal family is free from criticism hell Markle was a "royal" before she got with Harry really that whole family and connecting royal families are shady as shit especially with their "norms"
That MLK quote is often taken out of context, later on he said its unrealistic to ask to not be judged by colour in front of a racist. I agree it should never be the forefront of your entire identity but its a bit idealistic to pretend it has no impact on how people treat each other.
Playing the victim card is very easy. U see that in religion, in celebrities, in relationships, in societies. The person/ people will bring out something different about themselves, e.g. gender, identity, skin colour, use that as a reason that they are being victimised, blame societies and other people besides themselves, people gullibly believe them eventually.
Exactly. This "woke" movement convinces people that we must automatically believe a person was victimized without any actual proof or logic. Anyone who merely questions thems or shares their opposed opinion are automatically deemed a racist, "unconsciously biased" ,or bigoted. Its scary how a movement basically bullies people into silence in fear of being labeled these terms or even being "cancelled" if they have a large platform to express their opinions.
There are people dying of starvation and here you have people that can't deal with loud clapping. They have everything. A house/apartment. Food. Shower. Bed. It's not enough for them.
No one can argue with a narcissist, that how it is these days and it is a problem when people believe them than the people who tries to argue with them.

It is truly absurd to think that because us men are (on average) talller and physically stronger, no female partner can ever be abusive, dangerous and violent. Does a knife or a broken beer bottle not cut both women and men? Does fire not burn the flesh of anyone, male or female? To what extent does a man have to be hurt physically and damaged psychologically before we can say there is domestic violence and spousal abuse and he's the survivor not the perpetrator? That's what happened to Johnny Depp, and to yourself (but differently, I am sure). It's really offensive how people think being male somehow makes us impervious to insults and calumnies, emotional manipulation, and even physical hurt.

Thank you for being a voice against the woke mob.
I have been noticing this lately. Some people will scream at you about what they see as the best opinion and then berate you for not doing enough in their eyes.
I think postmodernism can in many cases actually make sense when speaking purely about groups. That is probably also the intent of the original thinkers behind this philosophy. F.e., is there a power dynamic between fathers and sons? Well technically yes. Is there a power dynamic in trade relations between countries (even if both benefit)? Again, yes there is. And is there a power dynamic between different groups within a society that have clashing interests? Yes. There are countless power dynamics between individuals, social groups and entire societies/countries.
But what do you do with this information? Does the fact that there is a power dynamic between father and son mean that parenting is literally oppression? No. It can be oppression, but a power dynamic is not inherently oppression. And to go even further, does this mean that the son, should he put on a show of victimhood, is always correct or "his truth" is valid without exception? Of course not.
I feel like the general populace, who aren't philosophers, take on postmodernism without actually understanding it and apply it to just about everything. Yes, we can define many elements of society as a power dynamic. But the real question is what do we do with this information? And how do we interpret that information? Your typical woke person doesn't have a clue and they come to absolutist conclusions like "there is a power dynamic between group X and Y, therefore all individuals within group X are oppressed by all individuals of group Y". Reality doesn't work like that. Postmodernism is an interesting philosophy and has its merits, but some people corrupt it and take it to extreme levels.
Postmodernism attempts to make quirks out of sensible solutions. Its predecessor, Modernism, attempts the diametrical opposite. Say you have 16 acres of prime Lower Manhattan real estate and there's a ton of inefficient-yet-quirky buildings on that site that make up a rather charming little enclave. Your ownership, through the power dynamics it enables, allows you to effectively call the shots for that neighborhood. Ownership of that site for instance, has little real impact on the new buildings happening to pop up in Midtown, if no action is taken by the owner. You know what does have an impact city-wide? Building 7 brand-new, state of the art buildings in that neighborhood, 2 of them the largest-ever towers built to date, creating an attraction that would transform the skyline of Manhattan as a whole. We shouldn't look at power differentials as oppression in and of themselves. As long as a free exchange of goods and services is being provided, and fair compensation is given to each side, that's all that matters. As long as the tenants of the older buildings were being paid enough money to buy them out from the rest of their leases and as long as no tenants raise undue criticism, nobody should care on that front. We should look at whether or not people are abusing power differentials to effectively tangle up people's personal lives and extract what they can from said suffering for their own benefit. That's oppression.

Very good video with clarity and insight. Thank you.
I believe you're confusing postmodernism with intersectionality. Postmodernism is the philosophy of skepticism towards the ideas of modernism, such as reason, science, etc and places far more importance on individual perspective. Intersectionality is a framework in which there are victim groups (women, black people, trans, etc.) and oppressor/privileged groups (men, white, cis, etc.). The idea behind it is that issues that affect one group affect all other groups and so the groups must work together to affect larger social change, which would adequately describe what you're getting at.
On paper, but the line between them is hazy, when the latter start demonising ideas as being based on "oppression". Furthermore, intersectionality is garbage because it has that oversimplification that you're either "oppressed" or an "oppressor." The effect of this way of thinking is bizarre, because you get ideas such as a multimillionaire female socialite is oppressed by a homeless man on account of gender. You get intersectionality people openly shitting on male domestic violence victims because they're from an "oppressor class," and their abusive female partners are "oppressed" by them/can't abuse them because abuse is caused by "oppression" rather than the demons of the individual/are merely "fighting back against their male oppressors" hence their open support of Amber Heard and vilification of Johnny Depp. Personally, I've seen intersectional feminists actively celebrating female abusers, even rape of men, as "payback for oppression" and as a sexual assault survivor that marks them down as abuse apologists.
Deception in the last days.
I've never fallen for Meghan's stories, I saw through her on the engagement video.
We could see Harrys sad face of despair even back then.
The same thing here too. She's not what people she is.
She's just plain jealous.
I never saw the engagement vid (thank God) but the minute I saw her swanning up the nave, a divorcee in her 30s dressed as a virginal bride, I knew she was trouble.
Same! Woohoo to the very few of us with commonsense left and can’t be fooled by the world.
