I have a question. Do you think you could briefly explain your research process? I’m always astounded by how many quotes and book excerpts you incorporate into your videos.
can you please leave the donation dump at the end it so it doesnt ruin the flow. I liked how it was silent in the previous videos. thanks.
Edit: Since we are on the topic, as a second note do you really have to plug membership reminders twice in each video now with dedicated sections? I mean how much does this statistically do to get you more subscribers because I think people will subscribe if they want to rather than the constant need for donation requests at the beginning and end of each video. The silence with music at the end and beginning of each video was superfluous and now its ruined by donation plugs (im a member btw)

Are you planning on making a video about vaccines in the context of western society? I fear that people might take these messages to mean that any information disseminated by authority is bad. In any case, I've been a long time viewer and find many of your videos prophetic and insightful. Keep up the good work!
@@evanprice5470 There is nothing to say... if you want one go get it.
My folks have totally changed. Raising me, they taught me to question everything, never just blindly do what someone tells you. Now, I'm trying to teach that to them.
I know how you feel, my mother taught me to stand up for myself, not blindly obey anyone and to do what I know is right no matter what everyone around me is doing... yet she's slapped on a mask and got the vaccine without question and chastised me for not bowing to the government. I can't understand the sudden change😔

MORALITY is doing what is right regardless of what you are told.
OBEDIENCE is doing what you are told regardless of what is right!
👏👏👏
It is very very rare to see someone who actually values what is right more than their own life most people are just talk
❤ indeed
OBJECTIVE morality is what people need to understand and align their behavior to. However, the vast majority of people cannot clearly define what a "Right" and "Wrong" actually are - so how could they ever align their behavior to morality. And, voila, we end up with the world we have now. Global human slavery.

After 3 police broke into and raided my home with guns drawn on me "looking for a suspicious person" who had parked 1/4 mile away, I sued the department, and I put the story in the newspaper.
Roughly half the people who read the story supported me, the other half derided my challenging authority. That was a real wake-up call on ethical and legal cowardice. I won my case.
Great man!
Those type of people blindly back the blue right up to the point that it's their door that gets kicked in.

Morality is about what you choose to do when you think no one is looking.
Beautifully said!
As soon as I experienced early on an obviously successful network, in my terms, I also realized my responsibility to my family, my community and myself in what I contributed. A sobering and maturing experience...

“No One Has Ever Complied Their Way Out of Totalitarianism” ~ Robert F. Kennedy, Jr
Excellent and timely quote
Nope
Well said. But in this revolutionary atmosphere that to me is the tail wagging the dog, (dogs seem to be a theme in my thoughts today) it must be pointed out that if you, me, or Bobby were truly subject to totalitarianism, none of us would read or write those fine words without consequences. Are we rebels looking for a cause, or is truly a cause looking for rebels. I suspect the former is the case.
Actually yes : people can comply so much with a totalitarian regime that it becomes a clownery : that's the way Venice which used to be the most authoritarian place in Europe with the best political police became known as a city of art. It grew so ridiculously totalitarian with everyone reporting about everybody that there remained no time and no energy for economic growth and by stages the one proud state lost its sovereignty bit after bit to become a festival place in Italy.
@@MrMirville Hehe! As any code writer can attest, if I do everything they say, and do nothing until they say it, I can twist any system ever devised into a useless knot. No authority ever survives compliance with an agenda in conflict with its goals. Authority is and always has been a condition of consent. To have authority, there must be enough desire for it to sustain it.

What desturbs me about students in schools is when bullies pick on certain students and other students choose to just stand and watch bullies cause trouble, instead of confronting bullies,who are causing trouble in schools.
Not only students, adults do too. Years ago, at a playground with my child, a kid of about 10 was being bullied by 3 or 4 other kids. No adult did anything about it, and most just ignored them, I couldn’t believe it. When I got up from the bench to aid the kid with my bad English, my friend even told me to mind my business. Days later, the kid’s mother walked up to me and thanked me. Sad world we live in!
I was one who stood by silently and watched with horror. I deeply regret this. I have regretted it for years, even in the moment I knew I was being a coward. I let that be a lesson to me today when I encounter injustice. I wish I had back then.
Schools produce and protect bullies
You see this in every job!!!
Growing up being the forever punished anti- bully, I feel this. (Actively "engaged" and redirected the bullying toward myself. Then took my punishment from my parents for fighting.)
My attitude now as an old lady is; No good deed goes unpunished. Do good anyway.

@@jamielamarche2276 then so be it.
I feel like I've been one of the very few relentlessly standing since 2020. Most thought I was nuts and a conspiracy theorist. Sadly, not many have stood up since.
Best thing I learned from my mom, is what she used to say all the time..."You just do the right thing....do it because it's right". Knowing she was "standing behind me" gave me courage.
As a child, I had no Parents, no Family. I was beaten, isolated and was the scapegoat for all problems. I was cowardly, but at 16 made a decision not to live my life in fear. I got on my bicycle and rode 250 mile down back-road in the middle of a Canadian winter to escape, I faced every fear I could from there on. I worked on towers 100's of feet in above the ground. First thing you find is you first trip up a tower is fearful. But after a week of climbing you start taking short cuts from one side to the other with no safety equipment. Fear can be overcome.
Thank you. Fear is learned behavior, and not everything one learns is true. Congratulations to you, as you are the author of your own destiny. Godspeed, my friend! 🙏🏼
May God bless u and guide you throughout your journey in life. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
Amazing 😊😊
I noticed even as a kid that most people are cowards. My peers would grumble and complain about something, a bully for example, saying how something needs to be done. I would take their words as an expression of willingness to take a stand so I would be the first to say something. As soon as I drew attention to myself my peers would gauge the response and cower like scared mice and pretend they never had a grievance with the situation. Many of them would immediately turn on me. I learned early in life that it was very wise to only pick the battles that are most important and to expect to make my stand alone.
yep.... that's reality

As a child of immigrants who risked life and limb to escape Communism in their late 20's for a better life and "freedom" in America, this video hit the nail on the head. Viktor Pestov and many others are my heroes. We are surrounded by weaklings and cowards. And for my outspoken directness against all that is happening the past 2 years, I get wrongly labeled and ostracized daily. Hats off to my fellow brave souls.
It's clear that they are using their usual tactics: ORDO AB CHAO is Latin for “Order Out of Chaos or Order from Disorder.” This term was invented by Freemasons and is the actual motto of the 33rd Degree of Scottish Rite Freemasonry. We were all born into this "cult."

People are cowards because there are things that hold them back. Family, friends, peace, at times doing the right thing asks for sacrifice from all of these and sometimes even your own life.
But when you & your family are the last ones standing because they have come for everyone else, what will you do?
@@Missy-Missy1111that’s correct. I live in an apartment where my next door neighbor does drugs and started bringing in his Drug friends. His Dog was leaving the yard with dog crap. Until I came I put him in his place. Things now run smooth and clean as I oversee what’s going on. I also have children living with me and my mother. You have to protect the earth from disgusting behaviors and take stands or you place of living with destroy you. No more being soft. You have to take a stand NOW. And be prepared.
U would do?
Exactly! I argue that people are not cowards. They just often lack the luxury to sacrifice the needs of their loved ones.
Most people gladly and openly tout their obedience and penalise those around them who do not obey. I rarely meet people who are doing what they are told 'against their own wishes but to keep family safe'. People love policing one another

“Historically, the most terrible things-war, genocide, and slavery-have resulted not from disobedience, but from obedience.” -Howard Zinn
The problem is, due to propaganda, these people aren't just complying and being obedient but they think they're doing the "right thing"... I got a medical doctor to literally admit that they hope people who don't get the cvd vccne die... And they're really a good person but it's important not to discount the effect propaganda has on their minds and how they think they are unquestionably correct

I get the frustration he feels. Those white soldiers are fighting for their lives especially with their lack in man power rn. I personally know a lot of doctors who died of cvd 19 or even died of exhaustion, leaving their grieving kids and families behind, all because some assholes refuse to get vccinated.
There is only so much a doctor can do. They can't make miracles happen and those who are still alive try so hard, with the lack of equipments and everything. Some sleep 2 hours a night for a week sacrificing themselves for the people and yet will be sabotaged by the same people because their loved ones passed away because of their OWN ignorance.
However it's NO excuse to wish death upon them.
As a med student myself, we are taught to be the bigger person and put life as a priority to anything else. Despite the frustration, anger, sadness and grief. Since so much could have been avoided if the people cooperated.
Some on the front line, as any human do, reach a breaking point and get fed up with the bullshit. The doctor you know most likely feels this way and made a futile wish knowing it won't happen literally, he just was expressing his anger. Because he cares. (Again not to excuse him, but to sympathize with him)

Fear is a reaction, courage is a choice
Well said 👉🏾🙏👈🏾
Sometimes yes, other times no. Some of the most courageous acts have come from instinctive reactions, by people who were otherwise extremely reserved. In other words you don't always know ahead of time quite what you're liable to do. Though It's true that most of the time most people are indeed craven cowards.
Cultivate courage • destroy cowardice.
This definitely depends on context of situation tho I will add.
For instance a angry driver is speeding towards you, you can pull out a weapon and attack them, or you can run away. If you attack them you get arrested for murder, your future gets thrown away becase of a rash violent descison. Courage can react in stupid choices sometimes so it's important to also always remember to be rational, calm, and think things through before reacting. Otherwise that moment of courage will turn sour REAL quick.
Always do what's good and right as a way of life. Being good, and wise requires consistency, proof of actions, (how you act to the world around you, and in your life.)
@@lawyerreactsnotthemoon85 - Reacting violently all of a sudden w/o due cause is NOT 'courage'. Nobody's suggesting that. However, you do have the right to defend yourself. If retreat is not viable, then you can morally and legally use whatever amount of force is necessary to protect yourself - and in most places, another person in mortal danger.
Wow, TH-cam isn't complete crap. I endorse this video 1000% and it was refreshing to see. Nicely done.

The reason most people are “cowards” is because human beings want to survive. The drive to survive is very strong so it’s a common sense thing to avoid confrontation until we have no choice but ti confront it. Another reason is the fear of losing your job/livelihood/being cancelled. We’re living in an age of job insecurity and financial insecurity. This is no coincidence, the Elite love normies not having any security and being kept in “their lane”. The last thing the Elite want are independent thinkers that are politically and socially active. They want us fat and distracted with bread and circuses.

The unfortunate thing about these sayings is that they only seem true because people repeat them over and over.
And people like to adopt and repeat them because the word choice is pleasant, tidy, and congruent… even though the statement is false.
Too often you are told that you don’t stand for anything if you are someone who can see the merits of both sides of an argument. I’d say, that means you are the least likely to fall for anything since you are always putting BOTH teams under the microscope and you don’t fall quickly into one ideology or the other based on membership.

At least the pandemic made everybody and every institution reveal their true selves. In addition to the covid stuff, we also had Donald Trump in the United States who made people react in a very broad spectrum of extreme ways revealing their true selves.
I was watching what was going on in Australia (and Canada) and found it to be pretty horrifying.
"Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves."
-Henry David Thoreau
Thoreau was a true master of disobedience. His book Walden is still
very much recommended. Gandhi was inspired by his work.
Slave is too generous. A slave acts against his will. These people are mind-bots programmed by controlled information.
In a framework
Wasn't he only referring to an unjust state?
@JeThoreau So Thoreau advocated for anarchy?
"Groups Search for Consensus, Individuals Search for Truth."
-Naval Ravikant
Great quote!
Here's another thought:
When you start obeying and following a person/group of people, then will you automatically stop following truth(because it can differ from the persons opionion).
Proud ones seek at all cost, to be right and be served.
Humble ones, on the other hand, always care to do what is right, aren't needy and wish to serve.
@@theresefournier3269 The Search for Truth requires Humility and the Will to Grow.
@@ScotsThinker YAHbsolutely🔥❤️💯
Here's my version: Groups search for whatever they search for. Individuals search for whatever they search for. The concept of truth doesn't mean anything.
I would argue that there are many groups that keep a more open mind compared to certain "individuals".
The concept of the "individual" is a relatively modern construction. Man is a herd animal, and we are not individuals. We are interconnected, flowing in universe allong with other people, the sun, the grass, the wind and even stardust. The concept of "my self" as a separate thing existing independently from nature is a concept divorced from science and engaged to the egotism of the western man type.
Additionaly, believing in the concept of the truth is not compatible with a free mind either.
For me, cowardice began in my early childhood when surrounded by 3 serious BULLIES: dad, mom & older brother. Group therapy helped me regain some of my natural courage & sometimes i actually feel powerful & self reliant. 😂

Fear=inaction. Inaction=compliance.
Compliance=mental and physical death.
Stay strong my friends!
Absolutely
and that fear and inaction can lead to complusions/addictions and mental illness. Easier in the long run to face your fears and make yourself strong.
I agree with Genki Feral, that facing fear to become stronger is better. But I would say, as long fear has not yet captured you in a neurotic manner, it is easier to overcome fear as long its effects are not fully developed in your mindset. But you must first be ready to admit that you have those fears, otherwise they will slowly capture you.

Western culture has been inundated with the following principles for at least the past 30 years: subjectivity and there is no “wrong”, compromise and tolerance. Maintaining a non-conformist attitude when being reminded that your non-conformity is antithetical to the collective good, makes it more challenging, not so much to remain courageous, but to remain committed to your principles, in the first place.
The goal it seems is to rid the individual of the need and desire to fight for anything.

@@reasonwarriorSo all the Salam witch trials, The Spanish Inquiston, the 4 crusades, atrocities of the church and many of the other horrors which plagued humanity have all been committed when people had less fear and suspicion about others due to a wider belief in God in their indivudual lives and society's they lived in.

"We were keeping our eye on 1984. When the year came and the prophecy didn't, thoughtful Americans sang softly in praise of themselves. The roots of liberal democracy had held. Wherever else the terror had happened, we, at least, had not been visited by Orwellian nightmares.
"But we had forgotten that alongside Orwell's dark vision, there was another - slightly older, slightly less well known, equally chilling: Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Contrary to common belief even among the educated, Huxley and Orwell did not prophesy the same thing. Orwell warns that we will be overcome by an externally imposed oppression. But in Huxley's vision, no Big Brother is required to deprive people of their autonomy, maturity and history. As he saw it, people will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think.
"What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions." In 1984, Orwell added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we fear will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we desire will ruin us."

People fear confrontation. It takes them out of their comfort zone bubble to engage in difficult conversations. It is much easier for them to try to stay under the radar, comply and hope for the best. The enemy thrives on this human weakness.
Very true!
Spot on, and also I think women may be scared to confront a man of he is paid more than them. Testosterone fueled men only care about themselves. Women are inherently more nurturing and caring. That's why the world is so messed up if you ask me.
Joe, I can't speak for anyone else, but personally, unless I have something prepared I easily lose my train of thought.

"We have to do it." "We have no choice." When I hear such lame excuses, it causes my blood to boil. I don't know why cowardice upsets me so.

The dilema for standing up for freedom is that you fight for a majority that dont even care thst their rights are taken away.
Especially when there is nothing to be afraid of. It is manufactured fear for the sole purpose of getting us to do it without considering that there is a choice
Because you realize your not able to be a coward, no matter what the price is. Even death. I'm the same way, cowardice makes me blindly angry. I'm willing to die for my freedom.
You always have a choice...

An old proverb: *“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”*
Did you see the leaked video of the border patrol agents meeting?
The only problem is that we do not have a shared understanding of what is "evil" which is an invented human concept. I believe it is "evil" to act in a way that demonstrably puts others at risk, because other actions inconvenience me. You can be both obedient and moral, the real quandary is working out when and not just reacting in a knee jerk manner against anything that we "don't like."
Read my mind Val!!
The good can only do so much in the face of so many sell out cowards. Also it's not their job to save you.
I think that saying should be changed to "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to follow orders." The past 2 years has shown that so clearly.

This was excellent. Thank you.
This video is so relevant today for me. In a meeting at work while they were trying to roll out the vaccine mandate, I stood up and voiced my concerns, destroying the narratives that were put into place by the government. I was almost alone in my resistance. After awhile, some people also began to speak up and ask questions. Long story short, I was complimented much by the people who were afraid or unable to articulate their views on the subject. Thanks to the Supreme Court, the mandate was rejected the same day. The reason this video made so much sense to me is because despite all the good news, there was still someone who had been on friendly terms with me who completely changed and lashed out against me with weak arguments and blatant delusions that had no foundation. He is a conformist, very much upset by my nonconformity. He did his best to demonize me, just as this video laid out. I am glad he has been exposed for who he is.
The weird breach with people you were cool with pre-covid seems to happen over and over. I get the "Oh, you're a Trumper now?" Or no hesitancy to get vaxxed just to fit in says alot about a person's character.

And when your enemy threatens you with persecution of any kind, my actions almost become something more than just "different."
As we’ve learned in the last few years, conformity is also enforced by an endless parade of overblown crises. It makes freedom appear greedy and irresponsible, and those who support it dangerous.
You hit the nail on the head !! As does this video.
No doubt, I’m sure we’ll get the biological weapon scare that Bill Gates has been talking about real soon.
Excellent comment 🔥
Yes, to the extent that one can be 'free' at all in a society. As George Carlin put it, in this society we get a dwindling set of privileges that get smaller every year, not freedom. And beyond that there's also a deterministic slant that can limit one's sense of freedom. Of course if an existentialist of the Sartre type then I suppose yes one would bear all responsibility for their choices. But what you refer to here on the topic of demonizing dissenters against popular conformity has played out before many times in the US, particularly during its great wars.
That's exactly what's going on right now. People need to wake the fuck up

Loved this video. Thanks for elaborating this content
I am either a late millennial or early gen z, but I still remember my high school government teacher asking the class to divide between those who believed the Patriot Act (mass surveillance to catch terrorists) was right or wrong. Most of the class held that it was right. Me and a few others held it was wrong. I quickly found out most of those I was standing with were anachists and began to put physical distance between me and them, inadvertently creating a third group. The teacher immediately put me on the spot. Being not that articulate I tried to convey my feeling that I felt uncomfortable with the anarchists, but could not in good faith join the conformists. The conformist argument of if I am doing nothing wrong I have nothing to fear rang hollow to my own belief that if I am doing nothing wrong the government has no right to suspect me.
I am impressed you are digging for truth and standing for freedom at such a young age. If I could give you some advice: not a day goes by that I don't regret reading more books! It aches my heart how much time I've wasted. Make it a goal to read one new book a week and no matter what you do in in life, whether you "succeed" or "fail" there will come a day when YOU will be the one writing the books. It's that simple. Knowledge is power. Keep on going. Our future depends on young men like you!!
Sounds like you were standing exactly where you should. I am not an anarchist, but all their ideas are not bad.
@Lawless ...Anarchy allows total control by government.
@Lawless ... I was succinct. I'm sorry that you don't have the capacity to understand.
The anarchists of the 1800s and 1900s rightfully predicted the outcome of authoritarianism and were ahead of their time. Which is why the governments of those days wanted their heads for simply speaking. Here's a quote from one in like late 1800 something for Christ sake
"how many of these unhealthy industries are there? The number would be too large to count them all, not to mention the foul and unhealthy prisons or the factories where the worker, imprisoned for ten or twelve hours is obligated, for the sake of conserving his family's bread, to incur the vexations, the humiliation of an insolent convict, missing only the whip for us all to recall the heyday of ancient slavery and medieval serfdom.
And the unfortunate miners, imprisoned five or six hundred feet underground, seeing the light of day no more than once a week and when, tired of so much misery and suffering, they lift their heads to reclaim their right to sunlight and to the banquet of life: quickly the army is in the country side at the service of the exploiters, and we shoot this scoundrel! The proof doesn't default.
And the exploitation of man by man is nothing compared to that experienced by women. Nature is already thankless in this regard, to make them sick 15 days of the month, but we hardly take this into account: flesh of profit, flesh for fun, this is the fate of women. How many young girls arrive from the countryside, full of strength and health, only to be enclosed in the workshops, in rooms where there is room for four and they are fifteen, twenty, without air, breathing nothing but pollution: hardships they are forced to self-impose. By six months they are anemic. From there the sickness, weakness, and dislike of work that is not even sufficient to meet their needs drives these unfortunates to prostitution.
What does society do for these victims? It rejects them from her breast, like the leper, puts them on the map, enrolls them with the police and makes informers of their lovers.
And do you think the workers, with noble and generous sentiments, can see this picture of the human life unfurling constantly before their eyes without being revolted? He who feels all these effects, who is constantly a victim of them, morally, physically, and materially: he who is taken at twenty years old to pay his taxes in blood, cannon fodder to defend the property and privileges of his masters: and if he returns from this butchery, he returns maimed or with a sickness that renders him half crippled, making him go from hospital to hospital serving therefore as experimental flesh for these messieurs of science. I know what I speak of, I who have returned from the carnage with two wounds and rheumatism, a sickness that has given me four years in the hospital and which prevents me from working six months of the year. As an incentive, if you do not have the courage to give them my head as they ask, I will die in prison.
And these crimes are committed in broad daylight, after being plotted in the corridors of the government, under the influence of a clique, or the caprice of a woman, while shouting over the rooftops: The people are sovereign, The Nation is sovereign, and under the buzz words of patronage - Glory, Honor, Homeland, as if there were several homelands between all beings living on the same planet.
No! The anarchists have but one party, and that is humanity."
"People tend to assume that victims have earned their suffering by their actions or character."
Chillingly accurate.
Victim-blaming is a very clear sign of authoritarianism.

they weren't friends to begin with. stay pure, don't give in and keep your faith in Jesus, he'll get us through this. God opened doors for me during all this so I could keep making a living as well. God bless you and your family!
You dropped your crown my king
@@myidentityisinjesus8880 Thanks for sharing so others will be encouraged. God Bless! All the best to your family.
sadly, hyper conformity and blind obedience has infected not only the West, but the whole world :( . i am beyond grateful for the energy you both put in to making these videos freely available. thank you! ♡
is it not enforced conformity by the govt.
While it's infected the west in modern days, in a lot of the world, it's business as usual.
Sure is nice of these folks to get us moving on this GENOCIDE. Deadly U S Navy veteran at your service. They taught me to kill........ I always held fire out of mercy but, I had my finger on the KILL SWITCH. Even got to the ready with 3 fellow crew men. NUKE WEAPONS was worth KILLING over... just like FREEDOM.
I would even go as far as saying that "the West" is the least conformist compared to the rest of the world.
Not really, most of the world tries to stand against the west but they have the weapons and the propaganda so to the eyes of westerners looks like nobody does nothing
You are spot on when you mentioned Turkey 😢 ,, it won't be long when before it changes it's name and flag ,,
These past 2 years has shown me how easily influenced people are..Its scary, but I'm glad I saw it.
You don't need two years of observations to see that, you can witness it full on just by browsing this comment section...
If it took this past 2 years to see the light, you're already too far gone to save.
Yea and y'knw whats truly fcked up: ppl are also so easily influenced by this video 🤷♂️
@@dl30wpb Oh, please save me...
Absolutely. I've seen so many people refuse the vaccine and endanger everyone around them just because they read some conspiracy on facebook. It's scary, and really just shows how people like the nazis managed to gain power.
