Julian A. A. Young evidence? I know of plenty who benefitted from affirmative action, as well as the wider implication of being role models for disadvantaged people.
Mark B I don’t remember where the stat is (I promise I’ll send it as soon as I find it, shouldn’t take too long though) but they saw a large amount of African American drop outs in colleges and universities because the added points to the SAT put them in a spot where they qualified to pass and had to dropout because of the expectations
This video is incredibly biased and wildly inaccurate. Obviously there is a heavy bias to the strange American use of political terms, in which most words mean their opposites.
I don't sense bias in your vids. That's nice.
I use bug spray in my bias.

Duh dummy..hes being factual and omitting his personal views. Hes providing an explanation. Get over yourself.
@@JulianAAYoung Dude, he did not say one was good and one was bad, he just stated what they are, not what some media mogul tries to make them out to be but the actual definitions of what they are. Just because you do not like the definition of liberalism as being what it is, because you bought into Rush Limbaugh and others who have redefined it, does not mean he is being inaccurate.
@@JulianAAYoung , And you must be a fake conservative who buys into anything Donny Tramp says !!
In my long life I have noticed that most are totally confused about political ideology. So you get both "conservatives" and "liberals" who don't actually understand their OWN ideology...much less the opposing ideology.
Politics is not really about ideology. Politics is about power and money.
@@thomasjamison2050 I think that politics has a lot to do with ideology as well. People have strong pride in their values and ideology contains those values.
I seem to be an economic conservative and closer to the mid-line on social issues.
I wish those further on the left would understand that conservatives shouldn't be painted with a broad brush. I think more and more conservatives are moving toward the middle. Of course the loudest voices always come from the fringe.
You aren't all socialists and we aren't all bigots. Let's try to respect the spectrum in both groups.
Finally! Someone who made a political comment on a youtube video and isn't completely deranged!
Thank you
hahaha
Difference being, you can be a proud socialist. Openly being a bigot is counter-intuitive to say the least.
I am neither.
Destroy all labels. You don't need a team name to be a good person.
I agree with you to a point. There is a LOT of good on both sides. BUT, just like a election with many parties ends up with a winner who pleases only a few.... to gather together helps the voting public focus on candidates and concepts that will please more of the population and get things done. Washington has enough trouble getting work done with the factions it has. Had everyone be out for their own without flag ships NOTHING would get done. - oh wait... only the aims of the richest by those willing to sell their votes.
That's where Centrism comes in but very hard to pull of correctly. A lot of people claim to be Centrist and they are not as they show much biased towards one side
Veto labels, vote for people.
Don’t destroy all labels

Conservatives are the ones that believe in equal opportunity, liberals believe in equal outcome.
+Landon Wright most conservatives seem to hate social programs that would help people get equal opportunities
+Olivia Harrison no social programs help people get equal outcome. Like if a guy works hard his whole life to get a job that nets him 200k a year the gov shouldn't take his cash to give to a lazy person that slept their way through high school and works at McDonald's. But conservatives are for common core which even though it hasn't done well it gives everybody equal education and what you make of it is on you
+Olivia Harrison Why should someone who is successful have to pay for these social programs? Just because you say so?
Conservatives think they believe in equal opportunity not knowing that everyone doesn't have the same starting points. Liberals believe we should all have some sort of an ok starting point and after that you do what you have to do. Conservatives believe everyone that's born has the same opportunities as everyone else when that's demonstrably false.
+ryacus no smart guy. Conservative republican nominated president Ronald Reagan started the war on drugs and then heavily policed urban areas to target and demonize minorities hippies that were liberal. We already knew this and have been saying it for years but only recently have one of Reagans top men came out and admitted it. With the government taking away union jobs that many black people had and outsourcing them over seas the black people began looking for other means to provide which happened to be drugs, but then we were demonized and jailed because of it. This forced women to be single parents, they needed help due to a corrupt system that the Conservative party was so proud of.
Its always nice to see a non-biased video. Been looking at a lot of left wing biased definitions and they have gotten very annoying. so thanks.
I usually find myself being someone what liberal, but I thought for a long time that it was because I didn't know much about Conservatives. I completely agree, it has been impossible to find non biased videos about this. I'm not sure how I stand now, but I agree with your comment!
+Raizor Endenium Pat Buchanan paleoconservative
+Aaron S Sorry that you have difficulty with history/reality in regard to the failed conservative ideology . Possibly you have been reading or listening to the radicals which can be found on both sides of the isle. Bottom line here is that conservatism has never been a success in any country of the world at any time. The 30 + yrs since the election of Reagan clearly has proven that the trickle down economics thinking of the right where they claim " a rising tide lifts all boats" has proven to be a failure yet they still attempt to sell such thinking to the small minded. In that 30+ yr. period conservatives got exactly what they claimed was best when the wealthy saw a 275% increase of income verses 40% for the middle class. The result was not a rising tide lifting all boats but instead a worse economy. Such thinking by conservatives goes against what any economist without a political agenda well tell us which is that the middle class, not the wealthy, buy the vast majority of goods and services and anything that takes from the middle class hurts the economy. Consider what happened in Europe when in a knee jerk decision resulting from the financial crisis caused by what even conservative Al Greenspan admitted was the result of "flawed conservative ideology". Many European countries cut social programs that took from the middle class and the result was double/triple dip recession. Conservatives in the U.S. attempted to double down on the problems they caused by cutting social programs citing the same study as Europe for proof. Paul Ryan among others cited the study at every opportunity until is was later proven wrong by a grad school student now they no longer want to talk about the study. If conservatives had their way we would have suffered the same double /triple dip recession as Europe. The flawed conservative ideology conservative Al Greenspan spoke of was in regard to OTC Derivatives which were the leading cause of the financial crisis. 10 yrs prior B. Born of the Clinton Administration warned congress that if conservative ideology prevailed and OTC derivatives remained unregulated a financial crisis would result. Since at the time $ was being made until it wasn't Greenspan and cronies convinced congress Born was wrong and that conservative failure cost the U.S. economy 20+ trillion dollars not to mention what it did to the world economy. And still even today conservatives embrace the same policies that caused the problem. Conservatives continuously push for tax breaks for wealthy so called job providers yet when such people get tax breaks it doesn't translate to jobs. The reason is quite simple because the wealthy are not the job providers. The consumers are the real job providers. History clearly shows the economy prospered when the top marginal tax rate for the wealthy was 90%. The reason was not because of the high taxes but that the middle class were doing well at the time. As previously mentioned the middle class buys the vast majority of goods and services. Even if your job is making corporate jets for the Walton family which owns Walmart or for the CEO of GM in both instances most of the companies products are sold to the middle class not the wealthy. Warren Buffett and Mitt Romney are not buying the vast majority of cheap plastic junk and Fruit of the Loom undies from Walmart and GM sells far more pickup trucks and cars to the masses than Cadillacs to Mitt Romney . Ronald Reagan tripled our debt , Dubya double it again and if you understand how government pays its bills you should realize that the debt under Obama was the result of the financial crisis caused by "flawed conservative ideology "where less revenue came in to pay the bills and as a result $ had to be borrowed to make up the difference. The financial crisis came BEFORE Obama was elected. Obama had less new spending than any president in recent history. Conservatives claim Obama does not go by the constitution but cannot supply specifics. They claim his executive orders are excessive yet he has issued fewer than any president since Grover Cleveland who left office in the 1890's. They claim Hillary is to blame for what happened in Benghazi but after 1 independent investigation and 7 or 8 investigations by conservative all they have to show is millions of dollars in costs and you and I got the bill $. During the Clinton yrs conservatives wasted 70 million dollars on White Water and found NOTHING ! You and I paid for that as well. How about the 50 + million dollars wasted on congress voting to repeal O Care or the 24 Billion dollars lost when conservatives shut down the government when they were holding no cards and proved they don't know how the legislation they are responsible for works. Why did they not realize that after O Care became law O could not have repealed it even if he wanted ? They looked like fools and attempted to turn attention to a poor roll out of O Care which later met ALL of its goals. Bottom line here is that most of you haven't a clue as to what REALLY caused the financial crisis, don't understand that social programs do not equal communism and support a conservative party that doesn't support you or what is best for our country. Conservatives would not vote against the billions of dollars given to big oil each year and really have no problem with entitlements which was proven by their passage of Medicare Prescript Part D in 2003 by a conservative house/senate and signed by a conservative president Dubya. Obviously that entitlement was a gift to big pharma costing you and I a trillion dollars. The conservative architect of the plan was rewarded for that gift by big pharma with a very lucrative job and quit politics. Wake up and stop being part to the problem. Ignorance is the enemy of democracy and the small minded conservatives have ignorance in spades.
Aaron.. I AGREE. Glad to find this channel. To learn about both sides without hearing the propaganda and slander. GREAT news!

Change is scary. Hence conservatism.
A 2020 update to the video: "Social Conservatives" as defined in the video (Cause the terms have changed) have taken the name "Common-Good Conservatives", A social conservative now is simply someone who holds to tradional cultural ideals, not one that believe's in federal enforcement of those values.
I'm a moderate conservative

@@PolarisSGL he probably means he's somewhere in the middle, but leaning towards the right.
I used to identify as a liberal, now as more conservative. I don't fear intellectualism, there is a huge bias towards those of us who hold our faith however to automatically call us bigots. I am an intellectual. I'm just able to rationalize my religion and belief in science simultaneously. People in general often feel things are black or white.
Is conservatism about no change at all to the system, cause sometimes some social change are needed, or a revolution like the American one, right? Cause I like having your limits and values, but also want fast change if crucial.
+Keith Hughes
This videos are great. Thanks so much for all the work making them.
+Kyle Parrish yer velcome.
Constitutional conservative here and I'm an atheist. People think everyone that is "conservative" is religious and it's just not so and actually the idea of an atheist claiming to be conservative could empower the movement in the sense of embracing Free thinkers. That's the main thing I hear from people when you mention conservativism, they automatically think your a Christian or practice some religion in general and it's just not so!
Fiscal conservative here. Vehemently distrust Christian influences in politics and law of the land. I do believe in God, just not Christian. I support first amendment to its full extend. Will vote democrat though I do not agree with all of their policies. But I will vote anything not to let this country become an Iran of the Western hemisphere
Such a simple sentence, yet so truthful : where the attention goes, energy flows

Be FOR THE PEOPLE, By THE PEOPLE, and Gov. Should work in the best interests of THE PEOPLE.
Conservatives believes in Family Values and are against Abortion. Conservatives cherish Life. Conservatives believes in the Constitution and believes that America was founded in Christian principles by our founding fathers. Conservatives honors the American flag and the brave men and women who have died for our freedoms. Conservatives are hard working Americans who works hard for their families.

ytsur8599 Conservatives should learn that their system have nothing to do with progress, and everything to do with giving up social liberties and rejecting compassion.
ytsur8599 See you fucking idiot, I can do it to.
I think that Conservatives would agree 100% with this description. I think the libertarian and liberal videos were also 100% from the point of view of those who identify with those ideologies. Now here's a challenge for you. Can you describe Naziism in such a way that a 1930s Nazi would be 100%... that is a description without leaking any criticism into it? I'll bet you come close. As a historian you strive to be as dispassionate as you can. I've never had that constraint so I'd miss it by a mile.
Tune,
I think you are right. Scary.
I wonder if experiencing that scary thought would make our own belief's more circumspect?
I hope Keith can do it for us. I don't want to read the whole thing.
Li🅱️erals be like
“The ICE, police, and Trump are neo nazis, and if you think I’m wrong, don’t you DARE try to explain why, I will screech at you and call the same police that I consider nazis and power abusive”
You want him to describe nazism **without** being critical? 🤨
Social conservatism is dying off. Economic conservatism is starting to gain some ground though.
If so then why is the current VP a poster child for the Religious Right?
This is just a question from an 18 year old trying to learn more about politics before I vote: Why do I see racism usually coming from the right side of the spectrum more than the left? And is it true that a lot of right-sided people have implicit biases towards minority groups based on a few people that they see and what they see on social media and the news from that specific minority group? Once again take it easy I’m just trying to educate myself, it seems like a lot of hate and prejudices come from the right side more than the left.
Conservatives also acknowledge, or focus on, the idea that human beings have a capacity to do evil. This is why Conservatives are weary about change in the Government, the movements of so-called "science" and teachings of atheism that is ever-so-present in today's society. It's not that Conservatives fear knowledge, nor do some doubt their social values, but rather, it can be argued that Conservatives value the foundational values of the Law. They value and encourage being anchored to a moral compass, instead of the movement away from the Law towards defining for ourselves what is "evil and good". I myself, if it hasn't already been apparent, am a Conservative. I see the values of some Conservatism (perhaps, not all) as the recognition that mankind can and does do evil things, and the removal of society's tie to a moral foundation can lead to an immoral, self-righteous (meaning people who see and define themselves as right and faultless by their own efforts) society in which, due to the lack in morality, can lead to devastation and most likely poverty.
I'm an atheist, and I'm intrigued by what you mean by "so called 'science'". To be clear, I'm not here to argue, I'm simply here to answer questions if you have any, and maybe ask a few of my own.
+Victoria Joy "Teachings of atheism" what does that mean? If you don't believe in a god(s) then you are an atheist. That's it. There are liberal atheist, conservative atheist, whatever.
Learning more about science and the workings of the universe can lead a person to be an atheist, but teaching science is not teaching atheism.
Also, what is "So called" science?
I'm a atheist Libertarian and I believe in science so please fuck yourself
?
Nobody Cares 😎
That chart (drawn up by a libertarian, btw) has a weakness or a missing scale, in that conservatives come out being conservative (right) on the economic scale but pretty much in the center between authoritarianism and anarchy, as we believe in both liberty AND law and order. So the missing element is the social conservatism scale, the belief in morality, tradition, religion, etc. The social conservative right isn't really represented in that chart. And it really is the area in which libertarians are most like liberals.
This is a really good point. I knew something was missing but I couldn’t put the words to it. Thank you :)
I would just like to quickly point out that this new ideology 101 series is freaking awesome.

Thank you for the knowledge. Very intelligent and unbaised. Thank you!

@@ghn_yug3351 I’m with you on that!
Leaving societal beliefs in the hands of EACH INDIVIDUAL FIRST, is a conservative. If many individuals are allowed to believe in a societal view they may move forward in it, but there should always be an open door. This is the basis of the founding belief system. In the least amount, societal views (not law) are what change the human heart, and institute real change in the land. Liberals institute laws which bind hands, bind hearts and prevent change. For example, slavery, or sharia law is liberal. It binds peoples rights, prevents change in societal norms. Instituting law won't change the society, allowing PEOPLE INDIVIDUALLY without being FORCED into giving or believing one mindset, and to chose with TRUE LIBERTY, will allow the human soul to transcend and find it's proper way to higher societal norms. A key example of this is Jesus. He died fighting the establishment, and was not allowed to be an individual because the individual had no power due to liberal views and instituted laws. Yet Jesus stood for equal rights for all, freedom of expression, and new ideas which didn't fit.
Been a subscriber for a month now and love the work!
Just one question about this series...
Will you be covering geopoloticts as refference? i.e. where lets say Switzerland or the EU would be on this matrix scale.
James Kenny Thanks Hames for the sub. I am toying with the idea, I am not sure how much time I want to spend on it, honestly the intention was for AP Gov but the idea of doing an AP Comparative Gov might be fun.
Keith Hughes
I learned a lot about governance by doing comparative analysis. I honestly felt like I learned more about political systems in college by studying ways other countries do things. It gives students an opportunity to break out of their indoctrinations, without feeling like they are being unpatriotic or whatever.
The thing I feel like I need to point out, regarding the matrix thing, is that it is comprised of an average of the respondents positions. What I found interesting from studying other countries political systems was how much their Authoritarianism, or Libertarian, Economic liberalism, or Control, were so dependent on the particular issue.
I'll give an example: There was a study done on organ donor rates in Europe. Lots of theories had been proposed that had to do with North/South religious behavior, or social conservative views. The study argued that the strongest reason for the odd pattern of organ donors was whether the country used an opt-in, or opt-out approach. It had so much more to do with seemingly innocuous policy than any of this political spectrum stuff.
So to try and close out before I ramble on too much. Where would The Netherlands fall? Is it a conservative country, or liberal? I think there is a lot to learn by looking at other countries as a way to look at the U.S.
Sorry, I was a bit all over the place there...........I agree talk about Europe!
Have you done a video on the history of the various Federal Banks?
That scale is too two dimensional, I never liked it, too simplistic it always made me feel boxed in. We know now J Edgar Hoover started Co-Intel Pro in the mid 50's. Also Eisenhower came up with Operation Dixie, besides the 2nd Big Red Scare' the CIA stirred up for the likes of Truman by 1949. I must be an Anarchist then (what Wilson branded socialists)? I can draw lines from the bombing of the LA Times in 1910-11 to 11, Sep. 2001 and come up with interesting parallels, but I digress, I grew up in the 60's and remember everything!
6:11 DOING!!
I am a social conservative, and believe STRONGLY in states rights. I believe that states should be a kind of mini nation in a sense, hence "The United STATES of America". So if a state wants to pass religious laws ok great as long as the governed support it and it's not something crazy like human sacrifice or something of the manner, like it was pre late 60's and 70's and 80's. Furthermore, but I do not believe in a across the map blanket establishment of religion though. Because that would be majoritarianism. So in my opinion, I would abolish the circuit courts. And severely limit the supreme courts. Because I hate hate HATE judicial tyranny. A few deciding for millions.
did I just hear the doctor who theme????
+octopusievideos of course
It was refreshing lol
We must paint conservatism with a broad brush as all bad. Because it is. There is no issue, no point of view, where conservatism has the moral or justified position. Not one. Conservatism likes to say and think all sorts of unsupported falsehoods, including saying things about liberalism that are not true of liberalism. Both conservatism and liberalism can be misrepresented by people, so pointing at a particular action or view in a particular person at a particular point in time may not be representative of which way they identify. We must use the words conservatism and liberalism to mean the opposite. They do, and must. To constantly convolute the usages just perpetuates our confusion. The words should have nothing to do with their 'literal' meaning. That is counterproductive as well. The words must refer to the general patterns of being civilized, or not. Conservatism is not compatible with civilization. Because conservatism has stood and stands against EVERY SINGLE issue that represents EXACTLY what civilization IS FOR.
I love your videos, Keith, and find them quite valuable for both introspection and discussions/debates with my friends. However, I have to note that when you put music on, the volume spikes considerably. It is irritating to try and watch your videos at work and have to constantly fiddle with the volume. Just a minor criticism, but I believe your work has tremendous value and encourage you to keep it up!
And you all should have learned all this by the 7th grade!
All I hear from people is, “ i’m not interested in politics!”
Well you better get interested in politics because politics is interested in you!

I agree that this is an unbiased and really good lesson. However, my understanding of what a Conservatism is includes tangible assets as well as ideology. Conservatives actually poses something of equity to conserve. There exist a distinction between Republicans and Conservatives.
A Republican uphold values, principles and ideology of privatization, or independence from government control. However, Conservatives may embrace the same ideology, yet Conservatives actuality poses something to conserve. The Conservatives are typically of families who have benefited from both or either the Head-Right Program or the Homestead Act. Conservatives typically continue to receive benefits from tax right-offs and interest from stock investments.
The hole point of being a conservative is to conserve these benefits bestowed by government. The agenda is to build a legacy of wealth and prosperity that grows exponentially over time; and this equity may be passed down from generation to generation., to generation. A person may have Republican views, but if they have no assets, what is it that they are conserving?
This looks plagiarized. How about something quick and to the point.
Concervatives don't believe in individual freedom. Concervatives believe in religious values or traditional values. They don't believe in live and let live,always dictating to people about how they should live thier lives.
Now that's the real definition of a concervative.

IN SIMPLE TERMS WHAT IS A CONSERVATIVE? SHEESH
I love that there’s no bias 💯💯💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I am more conservative than I am liberal or proggresive.
Keith, I disagree with your characterization of Conservatives as closer to authoritarianism than liberals. In my view, both groups wish to use government power to reorder the social landscape to fit their worldview. Is not Obama using government power to promote his ideaology with executive orders at the institutions of the federal government and beyond? I would view Obama as at least as authoritarian as Bush. Religion is not a special class of belief that pushes one toward authoritarianism, and in fact, as the left have instilled themselves as "The party of Government" i.e., public government unions / employees and government dependents being their primary constituencies, I would suggest to you that modern liberals are actually closer to authoritarianism the modern conservatives. Modern conservatives want to reduce the size, power and scope of the US government. Modern so called "liberals" want to increase it the size, power and scope of government and use it to recast society according to their idealogy. ..
Sir, you are absolutely right.
Martin Moore Well said...... I wish I had the patience for these uneducated, indoctrinated liberals like you. I am not that cordial.
Storm Simpson What's the confusion? Give an example.
Storm Simpson Do you? You made the claim, now prove your point.
Storm Simpson Don't respond then if it is "wasting your time."
I'll put it this way: A conservative doesn't let his brains fall out of his head by being too "open minded".

Useful in clouding the water. Sadly his understanding and teachings are not unbiased and correct. The lazy want all the social programs until they get forced to pay for them, then they say hey, that’s not fair! I’m working harder than so and so! Conservatives are not interested in government control. They want less of it. They want only laws that pertain to everyone. No special interest groups. Special interest group laws should be down the chain in the State laws. They are not against cultures and intellectuals. They just don’t want to support division. A unified general keep it simple form of law. The problems we all suffer from now is all the special interest peoples grabbing at funding that doesn’t benefit all.

Not true , almost no liberals these days , that actually play a huge role in politics do support the free market , in fact they are constantly regulating it.
True , but the liberalism you are talking about shifted over to the term ''Libertarianism'' . By todays 52% of people identifying as liberals support socialism.

Hydro_ XPatriotX
Do you even know what system they use in Europe (which is a Continent, not a fucking country). What they use there would be liberalism here. The left here is not the left there. Just like Conservationism is not like it is there or even Canada. The Republican Right in the US is 100x more right than the right in Europe. Their Conservatives would be considered liberals. Liberalism, based on the location, is very different. Europe is a very progressive area. Some of their best nations are eve socialist. And look at classical American Liberalism. That does work and is in synch with working political ideologies in Europe.
US Liberal =/=/ European Liberal

+Deadly Meep
Oh okay I would be a leftist then but what I wanted to know is why am I so far to the "Libertarian" side on the political compass web site but not considered a Libertarian? Or put another way; why can only those on the right be considered Libertarian while being a leftist is taken as being Authoritarian even though I'm far closer to Libertarian on the compass? Are you sure that rightists don't just 'tend' to also be libertarians while leftists do not? It was my understanding that you could be liberal and a libertarian.
+Deadly Meep
"I'm guessing you want the government to regulate businesses more but not to control people's lives as much"
Yep that sounds like me :)
You were right about me in the first comment except for the opposing personal freedom part. I'm pro choice, for gay marriage and pretty much for anything that doesn't hurt other people or infringe on their rights.
But I do think that businesses have a prerogative to take actions that benefit their company above others' well being and the world at large
and that government is needed to prevent unethical business practices and to prevent things like anticompetitive monopolization, so that businesses don't make the rules that smaller competing businesses have to play by.
Conservative; a true american,
I have taken it before but I was more in the middle leaning right. Now I lean MORE right AND more LIBERTARIAN which makes since I guess since I am kinda "Eh, you do you." I don't think my religion should dominate others and that we should have opportunities. I HIGHLY hate social programs and believe in if you screw up... YOU SCREWED UP. The only people who should help you are good people and the state IF you are willing to work. If not then you will die in the streets. We are animals bounded by natural selection so I believe that still applies in our modern world.

I took the test and I am apparently a left-leaning Libertarian. More specifically, here are my numbers on the graph.
Economic Left/Right: -3.5
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.92.
Long story short for me I believe that we should leave things alone regardless of your Religion, Sexual Orientation, and Race. We should not Ban Abortion just leave it how it is if u don’t agree with it due to your beliefs just dont do it anyone problems are different. I also believe that schools especially Elementary and Middle schools should not carry LGBTQ flags or anything Protest flag like BLM that should be outside of schools kids are too young to know any of that. Idk if thats a Liberal Thinking or Conservative.
The way I see it, the problem with conservatism is its desire not to allow change, or to change things slowly, is basically about self interest, in that the "current order" benefits conservatives, especially white conservatives, and oppresses many other people. I see some "conservative values" as being things like slavery, racism, discrimination against women and children, wealth supremacy (a superset of white supremacy), discrimination against those who are "different", like LGBTQ+ persons.
America is about race! Therefore being a conservative has a different definition between Blacks and Whites.
I look at political figures such as Barry Goldwater who believed in less government but refused to support the Civil Rights Bill based on his idea of private property rights. Well Barry Goldwater was referring to the " White Only" signs in front of White owned businesses who refused to serve Black people before the Civil Rights Bill was signed. Barry Goldwater's argument was that those White store owners had a right to deny Black people from entering their store because it was private property and the government should not interfere. Goldwater lost in a landslide in that 1964 presidential election because of his views. No wonder African Americans vote Democrat today.
But African Americans were always Republican voters.
African Americans voted 39% for Esinhower and 32 % even for Nixon. I think Goldwater ruined the Black Republican vote in that 1964 election as the Civil Rights Bill was the essential issue in that 64 presidential campaign.
Goldwater was a very Conservative Republican but dropped the ball when not supporting citizenship for Black Americans. Civil Rights is citizenship so why would Barry Goldwater not support citizenship for Black people?
Back in the 70s I was a Democrat. It was because all those white before me with Democrats. This was the World War II generation, and my relatives were those that were either born overseas or the first was born in this country they came here by Ellis Island. This sort of looked at the Democrats as being for the people because of FDR. It was all about FDR doesn’t matter what anyone says. In any event, why did I become a Republican? I could look back and see that some of the Truman did was good. But Eisenhower especially his first term did very well. Kennedy did pretty well and of course our family was all for him. I can tell you lots of people I knew were for Kennedy he wasn’t just a celebrity people thought he really was bringing us to a new place. And then he was standing up against the communists. But Kennedy was assassinated and we got LBJ. Let me tell you that was a disaster. LBJ was just a disaster himself. That Vietnam war just kept going and you know about all the things that were going on in this country. They were all identified with the liberals. Burning down college campus buildings A number of crazed far left is the violent organizations, rioting in the streets, and something no one ever talks about anymore the generation gap. It had a lot of issues.
Then Nixon brought us Watergate. This guy had just won the biggest landslide in the history of the United States and he had to help his crooked buddies cover up Watergate. What idiocy. And the more he tried to covered up the bigger jerk he looked like he lost his own support base. Gerald Ford came next and so did double-digit inflation. It wasn’t his fault but this guy just was not a president he didn’t know what to do. Jimmy Carter was very popular because people thought this is what we wanted a common man. A man who is not a politician. But that’s exactly what Jimmy Carter was. He was a politician he was a career Navy man. He was not a farmer even though we were told that his brother was the farmer. He didn’t run a gas station his brother ran the gas station. Jimmy just wasn’t effective in any way in his life he let a very bland life. His career was bland and what is more he let a lot of people down when they found out that his church was segregated.
Why do I bring all this up? Because in came Reagan and everything changed. Reagan saved this country. No matter what you think. But Reagan was it a classic far right winger. At one time in fact he was so liberal that the FBI investigated him. He went through with a lot of others went through he just went through it ahead of us. The truth is most people in this country used to be in the center. The center was one wide broad area. You only had party people and real honest to goodness extremists they were on the far sides of the issues. But all that changed. One thing that changed this country tremendously was the coming of the Clintons. Very few people will ever understand that. They didn’t know it was going on. But that was the beginning of it. That’s not to say that the bushes were to be excused oh no, the bushes were like Nixon the worst that the republican party had to offer. These people are party people they are politicians they are about money etc. etc. etc. And that’s why you see the influence of the same people since Reagan the same party people the same people involved in government And you’ll notice so many of them and their relatives are also involved in the news media! A lot of these people who are higher ups at the capital of the White House are married to people that are at the TV networks!
It really doesn’t matter anymore you think or what I think. What matters is that political corruption rains and rules. And even if you elected Donald Trump does nothing to do about it. And you’ll never find someone like Kennedy again they’ll finish them off before you get to start. And that my friend, is the real truth. Truth.

Im apparently social liberal
Libertarianism is a system that worked before, it is the proginator the United State's consitution. Libertarians no longer call themselves liberals as do not with to be confused with statists (progressives) who have adopted the term. Libertarians believe in natural rights, freedome of the individual and sound, rather than Mickey Mouse Keynesian economics. Statism is conventionalism as this is the commonest ideology. The most devoted ''liberals'' are charactarised by a suspicion for heads of corporations and mistake the croney capitailism for real capitalism, which a great many of us have experienced in our lifetime.
Croney capitalism works thus: corporations are taxed so highly that only long-established businesses and their subsidieries can survive (I did not say thrive) and because of this fact their frontmen become demagogues, as does the idea of mass wealth creation. Statists (liberals) hold the belief that businesses should be forced to give to charity, the reallocation of course being controlled by the government (unfairly taking away the power of free association from those who are forced to give).
I think the word "conservative" would be better used for liberals, as their ideology is conventional as it is this that the media and the viewing majority adhere to
Libertarians have sympathies with conservatives as the latter hold key elements of the American consititution dear, and also preserve their liberty by believing in moral absolutes. There are conservative-libertarians who take elements from each group. We can say that they are libertarians plus a very clear idea about moral absolutes.
How can we tell that "liberalism" is actually far removed from its monicker? Observe not only the level but nature of criticism that conservative and libertarian broadcasters experience at the most minor slip up and compare this to how, say, a devout member of a religion would behave when faced with an unbeliever and the double standard when it comes to who is alloted their special treatment. Sexism will be challenged, but this crime against personal freedom is commited by another racial group, or indeed, artists whose chosen musical form of expression is linked to that group, they will not be challenged; racism trumps sexism, so essentially statists are sexists if not by choice but by default.
Libertarians and conservatives intelligence is put in question by various fake studies. GIYF, search for ''democracts less intelligent" and oddly you will find studies with sparse to non existent research espousing this, and at the same time expressing the mentality of the devout progressive; we don't need to prove that progressives are less prone to use an intellectual approach to view the small print rather than ideas that (due to the media) are canon. A layman researcher can use online retail trends to see, at the very least how well-read persons on each corner of the political compass are. Look at the subject matter of the best-selling books on Amazon and other such sites, indeed, collections that barely make the list of best sellers and you will see that most are written by and for Libertarians and conservatives. Of course you will see the odd social justice warrior classic; we're broadly read, and unlike progressives, really wish to understand the psychology of the other side (know thy enemy?)
You can view this any way you want; conservatives and libertarians read more. Jung would describe the intake of information as extraverted thinking (information and its application) rather than introverted (ideas creation, brainpower, intelligence), but reviewers of our material express a propensity for both; we not only have the best books but the best reviewers; libertarians education is not just deep it's broad. We don't run the news-based media, but we're producing teleplays, novels, are in cutting-edge realms of psychology (Dario Nardi comes to mind).
You will meet many conservatives and conservative libertarians who don't really care about gay marriage etc. it isn't necessarily approval, but rather we have bigger issues, not to mentiion the excitement that comes with what to many of us is COMPLETELY NEW, the understanding that our way of thinking is completely out of the ordinary in relation to that of those who follow the convention (statism).
On the other hand, many of us live in fear and silence due to the absolutely disgusting thought policing that goes on
I am a Christian and a libertarian because although I am extremely socially conservative, I don't believe it is the role of the government to punish victimless crimes (hurting themselves) which are vices I might even view as sins.
No a government should have no place in telling anyone about religious values and morals.That is where I part with social conservative. I believe that we should not police the world. I also believe in drugs should be legal.A baby should have a right to live like the incubator that carries that baby.This what the baby would have ,life liberty and the way of happiness.
I took the test. I wound up 0.5 to the right and 2.14 to the top. Can't say that I'm surprised at all. Enjoyed the videos on the ideologies of Libertarian ism, Liberalism, and Conservatism. I've subscribed and will check out more of your presentations.
Conservative can be arguably described as traditionalism; this can be either Jeffersonian, or a “big Whig” aka a Hamiltonian idea of the American way, original intent; meaning the original prescribed meanings of our rights and laws should be understood in that same capacity and do not recognize any evolution in that understanding, classically liberal and or mercantile (protectionist) in regards to the markets, belief in an older definition and understanding of property rights and the freedoms that would exist in that gravitational pull. From an old world perspective, you could call it right wing anarchism, which is what I’ve heard some progressives in Europe describe it as, however, I would go as far as to argue you have to understand Brythonic, and Norman, but more so Saxon and Gaelic views on the world, the values that these people held and look at those common denominators. American conservatism draws its lineage from a deviantion in the line of the thought in Great Britain that made the same nation of both the 17th and 19th centuries, into two totally separate entities. America is the 17th century on steroids, conservatives wanna conserve/preserve that lineage even if they don’t imagine it in such a way. Aka it’s a mixture of the direct descent of either Jamestown and Virginia or the Massachusetts bay colony. They contain some of both, but will never be without one or the other. The religious right is the son of Plymouth, whereas constitutional conservatives are the sons of Jamestown. (Just as an example)
In general this was excellent. I would disagree on three points.
1. Just as there is a leaning toward authoritarianism with conservatives, there is a leaning toward authoritarianism with liberals.. Liberals also push their ideal society. Who is suing bakeries to bake wedding cakes for gay marriages, who is passing laws to force me to accept your self assigned gender, and willing to pass legislation to make this happen. by penalty of jail time.
2. in general conservatives are not trying to spread democracy but defend it. Vietnam and Korea were not communist nations, but the US sent troops to both places to DEFEND democracy. We did not send troops to Czechoslovakia or Poland or Yugoslavia. Iraq and Afghanistan were both more complicated than just spreading Democracy.
3.The south did not flip from Democrat to Republican in the 60s to a new racist home hiding behind law and order. All the prominent Democrat racists died Democrats: Bull Conor, Al Gore Sr. George Wallace, j j William Fulbright, etc.... The only Democrat that switched parties was Strom Thurmond and a few years later Jesse Helms, and few others later. Democrats lost as the south became LESS racist.
Lastly.... food for thought. The BIg Bang theory was developed by one George Henri LeMaitre. Belgian astrophysicist and...Catholic priest. He was ridiculed by secular scientist as a creationist. Those scientist that argued for the steady state theory, that the universe Always existed. Maybe they are not so open minded and "science and facts based" as they would like to think about themselves.
Most of these points are the result of a media bias. For instance the face of Christianity for many was Rev Fred Phelps. He made LOSTS of headlines. although his church had only 70 or so members and half were his family.
"conservative" values include pro-choice eugenics (which they did not oppose--and Republicans started the Feminist movement in the Midwest), birth control ['conservative' clergyman Thomas Malthus' Population control theory], and abortion (as the Christian-Republican majority ruled on Roe v. Wade 7-2), and Social Inequality {which is predicated upon the idea of moral relativism that there is no absolute, universal moral truth that applies to everyone}. Just as Christians were the jackals of anti-culture that devastated the Roman Empire, Evangelicals are the opponents of traditional values here in the U.S.
There is no such thing as a conservative because the category is entirely context dependent. In China a conservative is one who supports a strong state interventionist centralized managerial capitalism, which is not a form of socialism even though it is a "communist" uniparty government. In the US a conservative is one who supports a market domination of the state as well as all other aspects of the culture and society. The idea that conservatives are for liberty and liberals or leftists are for state domination and control is just a false narrative which stereotypes the opposition political and economic philosophy and oversimplifies a complex reality. However there are some intrinsic problems having to deal with large or super large scale organizational structures operations and orientational purpose steering and guidance that are universal systems constructs and dynamics problems and not limited to a particular economic form or type, whether left right or center. There is nothing inherently good about small scale, except maybe it's easier for people to deal with and comprehend, and there is nothing inherently bad about large scale, though large scale can have more challenges in terms of effective efficient functioning and high performance outputs and high value and quality goal accomplishment reaching and results.
RiotHouse , you are correct, in terms of republicans vs democrats voting for the 1964 Civil Rights Act, but today's republicans would have been aligned with 1964's southern democrats. I am not saying today's republicans would have been racists, but I think they would have been indifferent. Remember, the 1964 Civil Rights Act caused the "Dixiecrats" to invade and redefine the republican party.
@RiotHouse You fail at history. You're making false equivalencies hoping no one would be historically informed. s Read the party switch. Republicans and Democrat are PARTIES, not IDEOLOGIES. Libertarians today maybe me Anarchist but they may endorse Authoritarianism tomorrow
Not all conservatives are stupid, of course, but there are many conservatives who are stupid.
That said, famous conservative icon William F. Buckley, Jr’s opinion of the Beatles is puzzling:
"The Beatles are not merely awful. They are so unbelievably horrible, so appallingly unmusical, so dogmatically insensitive to the magic of the art, that they qualify as crowned heads of antimusic.”
Post World War II conservativism has long had a problem coming to terms with pop culture, which is ever seeking out, not the familiar, but the novel.
Barack Obama’s election was a political phenomenon-but it was also a pop phenomenon (like electing a Beatle as president)-and conservatives reacted to Obama’s glamour and mass popularity with the same incomprehension and contempt that Buckley offered the real Beatles in 1964.
But Obama, like the Beatles, has marked a cultural shift.
Conservatives just haven’t figured out yet how to move about in this new environment.
The temptation, for conservatives, will always be the nostalgic one: to turn back the clock and reject the contemporary; to put on the Mozart record, and despise the Beatles; to recall with fondness the Eisenhower years, and despite the Obama years.
I’m a conservative because I recognize that all things have value such as the definition of marriage or temperance.
One of the key points of conservatism is to keep the good and burn the bad
Two examples in suffice: religion and slavery
Both of these institutions are as old as civilization.
As a conservative, I want to get rid of the bad old as slavery while keep the good old as religion.
Conservatives are very wary of the appeal to novelty fallacy just suggested, because something is knew it is there for a good. However, we are all so vulnerable to the appeal to tradition fallacy. We’re just because something is old that means it is good.
I kind of take offense at the idea that the lie of the great switch might have been hinted at here where the old slavery Democrats switch to the republican party, and the old abolitionist Republicans became welfare Democrats.
His definition of "intellectualism" is really just postmodernism ie: there is no absolute truth. This is not only a foolish and deluded way of thinking that rejects reason and logic of the modern era but it is also fundamentally impossible to hold . Everyone believes in SOME ultimate truths of some kind. What we should do is debate the ideas based on reason. A conservative and libertarians would have views that they believe are absolute ( which you must in order to reason and yes these ideas can change but the burden of proof is pretty high) while many liberals pretend to not have absolutes and will ignore blatantly obvious facts about life, which would be fine except they are constantly wanting to use the government to force their views on everyone else. This is why they continue to try the same failed social experiments again and again even though they always get the same horrific results.
Agreed. The statement itself is a paradox: (it is true that) there is no absolute truth.
I understand that you have limited time in these videos, but this was a miss IMHO.. The Conservatives (as w/ the Liberals to Progressives (progressives being a newish 'communist (not them)/ Capitalist (for them)' sort of movement) have many facets. However, many conservatives do not agree w/ the far right libertarianism view, nor the using federal govmt (actually, many conservatives are for limited federal powers, which, as the founders, see the States as the rightful power for everyday life)- they simply do not want Big Daddy dictating everything, & many conservatives are not for invading nations and forcing democracy & western views upon them (though, yes, NeoCons typically do). Conservatives were against slavery, eugenics (have you taught your students about U.S. & UK eugenics and how Hitler built off this philosophy, which was built off of Darwin, whose cousin actually coined the term "Eugenics" yet.?.
This vid barely scratched the facts, very simplified, thus, easily misleading
I can't understand why someone would want unlimited freedom for everyone, basically anarchism. Haven't they seen waterworld and thunderdome, mad-max?
I think you have soemthing wrong. see as a conservative I don't think the govt should up hold any values wether it be Christian or Jewish. That defeats the purpose. I want a govt that recognizes its Christian roots but doesn't legislate on them. in terms of religion anyway. In values I also disagree. it is not up to the govt to hold our values. Its up to us to hold our core values in terms of life liberty and the persuite of happiness.
See the point is that govt shouldn't have a say in many things. it should be up to the people. and up to the people to hold the govt accountable.
Does anyone remember what happened during the Industrial revolution? and the late 1800s early 1900s????? All the conservatives please address the issue of child labor, lack of workers rights, lack of worker safety in factories, no vacations, no pensions, debtors prisons, on and on.. ...
I have to disagree that those who identify as conservative would necessarily, or even generally, fall on the right side of the economic spectrum. Most of the self-identifying conservatives voted for Donald Trump on account of both his social conservatism (anti-immigration, anti-Muslim, pro-Judeo-Christian and European identity) and his promises of economic protectionism (imposing tariffs on imports and bringing back jobs, very left-of-center on the two-dimensional political axis).
I imagine relatively few Trump supporters would agree with his social stance while disagreeing with his proposed (also, supposed) economic stance, while the reverse is a seemingly common sentiment.
Keith - do you know of a Political compass Test that would be better for high school students? The first question even stumped me with the hypothetical, "If globalism is inevitable... " I stopped there to vomit and couldn't go on. LOL
Can't you and I act in concert towards the same objective? I think we can, even if there are many of us. What is this thing you call government. It is always a collective. It is a fragmented collective that is easy for Right Wingers to control or it is an organized collective. Not necessarily a dictatorship but perhaps a harmonious whole.You make it sound like it is a thing like a "gravel pit" or an "oasis" or a religious sect. You can not escape the fact that whoever and how many we are, what you call that grouping is "government" . It doesn't encircle us and it doesn't define us. You can only use the word after the fact of a species called Human. You can't put a block around it. What you can do is define people according to the way that their brains are wired. Some can feel and some can not and their values will be shaped by that fact - and those values will define their politics. Don't be fooled. Right wingers , THEY LIE. Every thing they have ever told us has only resulted in them having more. They Lie. The more conservative you get in any way the easier it is to go farther in any other Conservative direction. Look at history and Conservatives in other countries see what it brought them. You can see more easily there because it is less shielded by your patriotism. All the dictators are conservative. Even Hitler who only used the term Socialist as a stepping stone to Dictatorship. Remember. Nazism is an ideological frame of mind that ordinary human beings can achieve. DON'T GO THAT WAY!
Most Conservatives want to believe that way because it brings them closer to the people who have money. They don't easily see that for all that wealth they have lost the humanity to enjoy it.
Remember this: Right Wingers see the world as it is when they are born and they say to themselves, " I see what is. How can I exploit it for selfish gain". Left wingers see it and say " OH No, this is shit. It must be changed." You know that's true. what you don't know is that there is no such thing as a Liberal. They are just the people who wont have it that children be forced to work 10 hrs a day, seven days a weak. In countries that are completely Right Wing they do! - and a hell of a lot worse. They would see children anthe elderly sick an dying in the street. AS long as they make more money for paying you less they will drive you into poverty. Want to see the ideal? Look on youtube for info about Nazi work camps. They worked people until they died and then through their bodies out the back door. You find it hard to see them as your only true enemy because they are so mingled in with you socially. They are in your work place and in your family and they want you to notice every kind of difference but the most important one. The difference between you and them.
Don't forget that it is a profound luxury to be poor and thrive. Other wise where would teachers and barbers and street cleaners come from. Are people who contribute in these ways expendable?
Modern conservatism is Classical Liberalism.
CL is libertarian, not conservative
8:08 that's the very intellectualism which birthed the DOI and was abhorred by British loyalists during the American Revolution. Interesting to think about.
This is why I never got the "duality" between conservativism and liberalism that we often see framed in politics, at least here in America. If anything progressivism (or social justice progressivism) seems more like a proper antithesis to conservatism, with each focusing more on advocating for some form of government involvement to uphold shared ideologies and values. I think libertarianism is a better parallel to liberalism, as both put more emphasis on freedom over cultural ideas, even if their methods of obtaining it are different.
I think this graph he keeps using his wrong. It should be authoritarianism at the top, conservatives in the middle of the red and blue, liberalism in the middle of the green and purple, and Anarchy at the very bottom. That would be more accurate. But damn it's kind of freaky how much that graph really does show how divided our country is, kind of like we did exactly what someone wanted us to do.?🤔 well I'm sure glad I don't segregate Myself by politics or ethnicity🖕
Not splitting hairs but.. He said use the government to allow us the 2nd amendment... I am a conservative. I am all for abortions, all for you to worship what ever you want, all for the 2nd amendment, all for the ability to do whatever drug you want, all for gay rights, if they want all the same exact treatments a straight married couple gets(with the exception of making a non gay churches wed gays, that's the government forcing beliefs on people; you cant get married in a Temple without being Jewish, you cant be married by a Priest that doesn't think you are ready - even if you are straight you can be turned down...), and I am an agnostic atheist.
I just want to know how it is Totalitarian to limit the governments ability to control who gets a gun? Pretty sure that is the EXACT opposite.
I'm libertarian:don't take my guns away,let me hit a blunt,support LGBT rights,make things in America,non intervention,less taxes but pay taxes for things that really matter like infrastructure and healthcare.
A lot of conservatives are like me we believe in minimal regulation. Enough where you don't have a repeat of the 1890's. Thing's like minimum wage for example are good regulations that don't allow capitalism to go off the deep end. When you have social programs that's where we get growly. The main cause of opposition to social programs is knowing that people will work the system and basically get paid to sit at home.
It's very simple folks.
At the core - conservatives/republicans/rightw wing, etc.. believe that you should have an owner / dictator where you work. Someone who doesn't do the work but takes most of the money. They do not believe you should have a say in the work or the use of the profits or any of that. You should only be happy that you are allowed to make whatever money the owner wants you to make. That your owner should have total control and should be able to fire you or not hire you for any reason at all including your religious beliefs. No government intervention to prevent this either. They are against that. So in a social system where you need money, you must conform to what they think is important or you will not be given the money to survive.
Someone on the left thinks the opposite way. They think Democracy in the work place is the only way. So the workers own the company, equipment and means of production etc... like a co-op and they decide how much (by vote) that everyone gets paid, including the guy you made CEO.
They recognize that we live in a system that relies on work for money for survival so they use the government to make sure you get a job if you want one and can have one. They make sure you don't get fired because you let your beard grow too long or the owner's wife was checking you out or any other silly reason.
In the democratic work model - the people who work in the company and vote on pay would not ever decrease their salary, off-shore their work or pay the CEO (who doesn't do much) 400x what they are getting. In the first model, the conservative model, that's exactly what happens now. Maybe you can understand why they have invested so heavily in owning your media and controlling that message. It's kind of worth it for them isn't it.
This video does more harm than good. Simply creates confusion. In the Anglosphere conservatives tend to be economically liberal (it's doubtful whether 'economically conservative' has any meaning) but that's consistent with 'conserving' the Christian-liberal tradition and has a bit to do with Protestant ethic and all that jazz.
I get confused where conservatives diverge from Libertarianism? I think Libertarians just mean what they say. And as much as you straw-man us, I think I could make a better effort defending the position than your half-hearted nonchalance. You are fairer than most, fwiw.
Ok I'm going to have to play this back at 0.75x speed. 😂
Loved the unbiased video so I took the quiz.. what a crock of shit . Placed me in bottom right corner of the top left block lol, anti-communist, dont believe in fascism, Hard anti-left. Note like that quiz is guided to confuse the right into taking a more leftists approach
Conservative libertarianism is a thing as well. Basically, it's not the government's job to impose morals, as that is a use of force, but that we should push toward the ideal and moral society naturally and without government, since most of the government's push toward social change, conservative or liberal, has lead to many side effects and tension that was previously unforeseen. Back in the day, after the civil war, people were trying to rebuild the south. Conservative republicans wanted to do it slowly with as little intervention as possible. Liberal republicans wanted to do it by force and military while granting black people some rights in the process. They did so, and the black rights part seems great, until you realize that immediately changing society through force like that added fuel to the racial hatred fire and led to the KKK and Jim Crow laws. Most of the time, when the government pushes for progress, they accidentally set things back.
