Reality (everything that physically exists) leans realist (expressing things as meaningfully physically extant) is certainly tautologous. That's a very old complaint about reasoning that seems circular (in logic), or redundant (in expression) but is in fact correct. Why "the left" leans realist ('leaning' being used as an idiom, but in fact the left - liberal - side of the Nolan Chart for libertarianism), I suppose because liberals do not reject government as a reality.
Rockefeller nor Bill Gates have degrees, so if superior education is a criteria of being an elite, they should not be grouped in. Conservatives have labeled Angelina Jolie an elite. She studied drama in New York. I'd hardly call a drama student an elite.
If someone has immense power, be it politically, economically, or socially, they are considered an elite. This doesn’t directly correlate with skill though, since there are many ways to gain power and we do not live in a meritocracy
why is it bad that felons can’t vote? i’ve never understood that. i can see arguments for illegal immigrants voting even though i wouldn’t agree, but people who clearly had no regard for our laws..?
@@LGrian so? again they had no regard for our laws, so why should they have a say in shaping them? do you want murderers, pdf files, etc making decisions about who gets to run the country?
@@Tylernal most people on both sides tend to find and believe that reality leans in the direction of their own worldview. There are policies on the left that are clearly, to me at least, much better and more in line with reality. Same with the right. Saying that "reality leans left" ignores and even rejects the autonomy and intelligence of those who think reality leans right, and exposes a clear ignorance for other people and their worldviews.
@@Tylernal (: nice reply, yet morality leans left (in applied ethics, that's politics), whereas reality leans realist (which is also known as "the left," obviously)
What wood you have liked to have seen highlighted? Sincerely. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around who exactly is considered "elite." Help me see a right-leaning highlight. Thanks!
@@Tylernal sigh This smug line yet again? I'm mainly on the left but saying stuff like reality has a left bias is only going to annoy people not sharing this view.
Worthy work. Gladly shared.
I've been loving this series. As a student currently taking an American government class, it could not come at a better time.
This is a great educational video... Thank you. 😊
Very timely, cheers!
Dude it's almost as if it were a, How they call it?🤔 a Class Struggle?
Thanks for the content !

She is rich though.
It's a class of the Uber wealthy.

Rehabilitation vs. Punitive justice
They’re still human beings and citizens.

Is this how all college students think now? This is some woke motivated education.
I know right, in actural Elite Theory Martin Luther is part of the elite
bruh in what way lmao
If you knew any history, you’d think the 1950s were “woke”
This is good, but note how they highlight things from a left-leaning point of view
Reality leans left
