Freedom of the press or freedom of the media is the freedom of communication and expression through various mediums, such as electronic media and published materials -From Wikipedia

Freedom of speech is the right to articulate one’s opinions and ideas without fear of government retaliation or censorship, or societal sanction.

There is a difference between individuals not going to hear something they don’t want to listen to by not clicking, not watching, not attending, and a ubiquitous platform making different rules for different people. I don’t really analyse this in the video, but I’ve been thinking about this. Yes, I recognise it is a private company.

Some more commentary on BLM, responding to each of their Guiding Principles.

Sorry, my camera was unfocused at some points. Also, I was in a humorous mood. It got slightly out of hand.

00:15 A rant on so-called ‘for black people’ movements

02:08 Results and outcomes vs trumpeted headlines

02:51 I do not believe in lowering standards

04:20 You cannot talk about black lives mattering without discussing the crime rate within the black demographic

04:50 Focus on the self/ Black Fathers Matter.

06:05 The Black Lies Movement

07:12 Wanting exclusion and special treatment as a means to gain ‘equality’ for all.

08:07 Equality of opportunity or equality of outcome?

08:36 There are bigger fish to fry. (Like the breakdown of the family and it’s negative effects)

Thank you for watching.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2015/01/09/are-black-or-white-offenders-more-likely-to-kill-police/?utm_term=.0361bd967416 This article concludes that cops are more likely to be killed by whites, but look at the percentages, and their relevancy to the rates (which are less) at which blacks are killed by cops.

I’m sure you all know about the 13% of the population commits 52% of murders. And also greater than the population for violent crimes. And I encourage you to do research on hate crimes and which groups commit them, in the present, and also on rape and robbery statistics. To be fair, there is also ‘white collar’ crime, but that is not what people think about when they think of crime.

00:00 Intro/ I don’t know what this video is.

01:19 Why are people watching this show?

02:00 Bringing Structure to Imagination

02:45 Our Reptilian Brain

03:30 Is there a link between the extremes of violent fiction, and less violence in the real world?

04:50 Living vicariously through character development

05:35 Is Game Of Thrones an example of the “male gaze”?

06:20 A way to help criminals, or would this make it worse?

So I made this video, then realised it could offend people. I’m not doing it over. I was just thinking on the topic. Correct me if you think my opinions are too anecdotal.

00:00 Intro. This is not entertainment. And I am not an expert.

00:56 Is race realism bigotry?

02:01 What RageAfterStorm was talking about was extremely important.

02:36 Some personal thoughts

04:36 The walls in our minds

05:33 Reaction to Rage After Storm’s video

06:06 Were her facts accurate?

08:20 Things I am not sure about.

08:45 Logic vs. precision, and morality when dealing with individuals

10:22 What I didn’t like about the video/Could we break bread?

12:08 Why the information is important. (I meant to say average low IQ when talking about immigrants)

13:30 I want to live in a moral world, not just an ordered one.

Thank you for watching.

This is re that culture can influence behaviour in terms of influencing childhood, regarding the statement about environment probably affecting behaviour such as violence regardless of genes. I am not an expert on these topics and claim no such position.

Stop the blame game. Two wrongs don’t make a right. And equal standards for all.

Thank you for watching! Please support!

I know this doesn’t address cultural compatibility or things like IQ. I know. But this is where the world is headed, and how many societies already are. And if these societies which are being created are to work, this is what I have to say.

00:22 Not everybody is the same!

00:54 Drawing the distinction between cultures and the types of experiences that are normal, based on personal examples.

03:27 Scary story time (not to make light of the situation). Then more examples.

04:40 Who we are is instilled in us from a young age

05:24 People are different depending on where they are from, and they will create a different society.

06:13 Welfare and the creation of incentives.

06:47 The first standard for unity in a society is the rule of law.

07:37 People carry culture it doesn’t exist in the ground they walk on.

08:25 Disclaimer 🙂 Sorry to all the people who shall be offended. I prefer some things about my home country, but I also know exactly where I am coming from.

Thank you for watching.

Also came across this criticism, but frankly doesn’t change my mind. You’ve probably seen these already:

I know there is a slight echo. Bear with me. I was trying out a mic. But I’m going back to the clip-on.
