If you think that disarming the world is the answer you are sorely mistaken. Guns have been around for a thousand years now and they are not going away. You can't uninvent missiles, fighter jets, tanks and all the rest. Remember that Simpsons episode where Lisa wishes for world peace and the world gets rid of all their weapons, only to be invaded by Kodos and Kang with a stick. The same principle applies. If you get rid of all weapons, any country can now build back the deathmachine as you call it and rule. Once something is invented, specifically something as significant as weapons, it is virtually impossible to get rid of. I would be surprised if you could come up with only one such example.

Berta Cáceres was an internationally renowned figure fighting against destructive mining projects then supported by the coup government which Hillary Clinton backed. Cáceres was assassinated exactly eight years ago today (March 3rd), by a death squad sent to silence her. The identities of some members of the death squad have since been revealed, and they had received training by the United States' School of the Americas (with a notorious legacy connected to many atrocities in the global south). Before her death, Cáceres had spoken publicly about US, and in particular Hillary Clinton's, involvement in the undemocratic coup and subsequent military regime in Honduras. The video footage of this interview can still be found on YT for those interested. Berta Cáceres: presente.

While I loved the Barbie movie, the way the fans reacted towards other female nominees was unacceptable. Most of them haven't even watched KOTFM, PL, PT or Anatomy of a Fall. Stories about a woman regaining her humanity, reconciliation with a past friend, and a *literal genocide*.They completely ignored Triet's nomination, as the first non-american woman, and they also didn't campaign at all for Celine Song.

I think the answer is less malicious and simple and you said it at the beginning of the post: everyone saw Barbie. Of course they want a film that they actually saw and liked to be nominated. If they saw all the other films, they might think differently. But those films weren't marketed towards general audiences in the same way. The other nominated films are more serious, more adult, and didn't have the expensive ad campaign. Most of us don't follow movies that closely, we're likely to miss the lower budget films with limited distribution.

Some of these sound very similar to the White folks who told angry African-Americans that "We get you're angry, but don't destroy property".

Loved your video and your perspective. It seems obvious after I listen to you saying it, but the idea of "they are actually defending that the population should be submissive" when the liberals say "men are violent, women aren't" while meaning that this is an essential distinction between men and women is an idea that I've never thought about. My focus was always in the narrative of "men are more violent because that's how our society defined men, as essentially violent", because when we usually talk about violence we don't ask if that violence was morally right (like rioting after police brutality). Thank you for giving me a new perspective to think about society and the world. It's the first video of yours that the algorithm gave me, so now I'm a subscriber.

I really love your perspective and wording here. So often I only see either “all men are irredeemable and trying to argue any other point means you hate women” or “we need to stop being so mean to men, there is no pattern to their actions as a result of their socialization and you’re crazy for feeling wary around them” and I feel like you did a really good job validating those of us who ARE wary of men for very good reasons and ALSO questioning this assumption that the girl side of things is inherently better.

For example if you’re gonna talk about Hitler and the Nazis with nuance, you wont demonize them nor make a caricature of them, but explain the reasons why Hitler did what he did, why he was charismatic enough to obtain power, why he was so against the jews, christianity etc. Without talking about him as if he was a demon . We should approach politics and social phenomena in this way , but we wont do that because we want a reaction, a narrative not a nuance and realistic version of the facts.

It’s so visible in even our everyday language. We literally have the terms “mama's boy” and “daddy's girl” which, while sounding extremely similar, represent entirely different expectations. A daddy's girl needs to be protected at all costs, no rogue boy can ever break her heart. A mama's boy is expected to defend the honor of his mother at all costs, and failure to do so is emasculating.

There was a great fear regarding the softening and feminisation of male youth within consumer society... With Hitchcock's Psycho being a high point in popular hysteria.

Great video A large part of this problem seems to be liberаls' capacity to ignore the all-important difference between coercive controlling viоlеncе and viоlеnt resistance. Side note: A lot of people may be interested to know of Clinton's complicity in sеxual viоlеncе by far-right deаth squads in Colombia and state-sponsored rаpe of prisоners during Mubarak’s final days in Egypt. This was during her time in the state department. To be clear I'm not dunking on Alice for not including an exhaustive list of Clinton's misdeeds, as that would genuinely take days to fully articulate. As Alice said in the video, though Clinton has a reputation among liberals for being a proponent of women’s rights, she has a consistent history of standing against women’s rights in practice.

There's no difference between violence to control, and violence to "resist." The victims of resistance are practically never those directly guilty of grievances, just like the victims of control are often not guilty of any meaningful crime. And the "resistors" will very readily become the controllers once they reach any sort of power. It's a false distinction. There's difference between the initiation of violence, and the use of violence in self-defense against an actively violent threat. That's the only meaningful distinction to make.

We’re seeing a rise of politicians that flex their countries liberal tendencies as a cudgel against the oriental other. From Douglas Murray to Geert Wilders, we see xenophobic elements of European politics flaunt progressive values that were hard fought for by the people in their society and saying that they’re “Western Values.” In order for Europe to not fall to very scary racist ideology, they must think past the “civilized” liberalism that they tout so strongly.

fascism is always going to be the end state of liberalism. Just like liberalism failed in the 1930s and eventually led to the rise of fascism, we're seeing neoliberalism fail now and witnessing the rise of neofascism. It's not that west europe has a particular lean to it. Hell, Poland and Hungary and Turkey are a lot closer to it than western europe at the moment. It's just that instead of recognizing the systemic issues with liberalism and coming to the conclusion that we need to replace it with something better, we double down, find scapegoats and make some small sacrifices (like democracy) to preserve the core of liberal values (in the economic sense). Because fascism doesn't actually have any negative consequences for the ruling class.

Their notions of being a "garden" to the rest of the world, the others, "jungle" speaks truth about their perceptions and how they apply their so called values. They cannot think past the notions you stated, it and the exceptionalism they feel through it and their history as Europeans, is at the core of their understanding of reality.

Yes, thats spot on. It also mixes with neocolonialism. These countries might act like they have overcome colonialism, but in their views about other countries, the same attitudes that once led to colonialism prevail: claiming other countries are uncivilsed, have no culture, that western values are better etc. Compared with straight up racism.

You posed a question about the men going into the streets to cause violence and assert dominance, and just before that I thought "Does anyone ever ask us 'power hungry dominance seeking men' why there are times where we are violent?" I'm not a violent man by nature, but there have been times in my life where something happened to me that I became so angry that I punched a wall or broke something. Does that mean deep down I was looking for power and to dominate? Absolutely not. It's sometimes easier to lean into your raw emotions and react viscerally than to rationalize your thoughts and feelings and then reflect on them, especially when we're young and haven't been taught to do anything else. It seems on the surface that a lot of these opinions and books come up with theories without actually talking to men about their experiences and emotions.

I enjoyed the video. I learned so many things that i don’t know the terms of!! Civilisational feminism and bourgeois feminism, nice!! Thanks. This is a huge issue in developing countries (I am Indonesian) who receives donor help from western countries for gender equality programs, and a lot of times the complexity of Indonesia’s culture on feminism is oversimplified and unfairly labeled as completely uncivilized and anti-progressive. What they dont realize is they miss a lot of very unique and complex feminism values within the Indonesian culture, which may be masked by the recent Islamic influence (which, again, the patriarchy that comes with islamic influence is not innately islamic but rather a result of multiple other factors). I noted the books you mentioned and I will be reading into them.

Often people (self-proclaimed "left-wing" liberals) tell me the world, or the country, would be better with women in charge, because they're essentially more peaceful, patient, kind, and empathetic than men (I'm Italian, by the way.

Otherwise, you're in a state of constantly fighting for gains you don't even believe are sufficient. Ideas of that sort is why some Pro-Black activists believed that black people should never integrate with white people: it wouldn't do anything I'm not saying that's the correct belief but if one is to believe coexistence is impossible because it's a net negative on one party, or those in the position of power are innately bad and that's unchangable, then I can't see how you justify trying to "educate" or "grab power" within their system

While I agree using “problematic” without further development of the premise can obscure arguments and hinder discussion, in this video I believe Alice uses the word twice and in both cases the word does not obscure her critique. 1. 2:13 “So the variation of the Overton window means that an opinion that was once deemed problematic can become neutral, acceptable over time.” In this case the use is literally discussing ideas that are not acceptable becoming acceptable so further details of what exactly is problematic are completely not relevant. This is not the use case I’ve described above where I would agree with you. 2. 7:24 “But the way her feminine values are used to sort of downplay violent acts is problematic to me. Here is a list of all the bad things she’s done. So she voted for the Iraq war…” In this case, Alice follows her use of “problematic” immediately with examples, to prove her point that using feminism to describe Clinton as peaceful, good, nonviolent is a shield that obscures her violent acts. Her argument is that we should not accept that this is truly feminism and that to blindly accept all women’s acts as feminism hurts others. Alice says that this is inconsistent with feminist literature. Thus, by following her use of “problematic” with an explanation, I don’t find her use of the word to be harmful or meeting the parameters I outlined above. If you have further critiques, please explain them better with evidence.

@florianedlinger636

4 ай бұрын

Well, if I deem something as 'problematic' it just means that a certain issue raises problems to me (f.e. a contradiction with other statements of the same origin or ethical problems etc.). And if you state these logical or ethical problems in addition to saying "x is problematic" I do not see an issue with using that word. In this case Alice clearly states that the peace-making, caring public image of Hillary Clinton stands in contradiction with her political ideology and actions and therefore raises (logical) problems.

I heard a quote somewhere talking about privilege. It was something along the lines of that in every situation people will back on whatever privilege serves them the strongest in a moment.

I live in a super wealthy area so I've encountered a lot of that. A lot of those people balk at the idea and say "I'm not doing that! I've never thought that way in my entire life!"... but nobody ever said it was a conscious, deliberate decision. Of course it's not.. it's subtle and built in to the way one perceives the world and the people in it. Most people try to do the right thing when they can; the issue is that privilege can change what constitutes "the right thing", and how one goes about actually _doing_ the right thing to such an extent that it becomes the *wrong* thing. People have a really hard time with self-reflection.. especially well-off people. So many of them fall into the trap of "well I'm doing great, so obviously I must be doing the right thing" despite that making literally zero sense. (that's kinda the thing with lenses, I suppose: if you leave them on your face for long enough, you forget they're even there!

We re-oriented this, but if you ask most people, they would say it was feminism harming boys. When in reality it was traditional sexism (which implies the girls are essentially less assertive) harming boys: because girls are "of course" more innocent, the transgression could only be the boy’s fault.

Fascinating discussion. I learned a lot. I think there is a problem with the notion that masculinity equates to conflict. While I think there is some truth to the notion that men are more inherently conflict driven, it’s a stretch to say conflict happens as result of this phenomenon. Generally speaking, I think conflict arises when diplomacy fails, and that isn’t an issue that can be alleviated by the sex of either party. In other words, diplomacy is not an all encompassing solution. There will always be cases in which diplomacy won’t (or can’t), meet the needs of a given party, and conflict will be the only option for that party. You can’t just throw femininity at that problem, and expect it to resolve for that reason alone.

Not every conflict with a person of the other gender is sign of the patriarchy. The other person might be actually grumpy to everyone or you are just perceiving it negatively because you are grumpy.

While I genuinely don’t disagree on the existence of people who are exactly as you’ve described, I think there’s still too much generality with your definition for “grumpy feminism”, it doesn’t provide any specificity to how someone would discern these women from those with valid grievances. The definition’s vagueness would make it too easy for another individual’s political illiteracy/ignorance to result in them mislabeling another person’s valid grievance as just another “grumpy feminist”. Additionally, what you’ve described isn’t a counterpart to male incels. I know “Incel” gets thoughtlessly tossed around as a generic insult but the definition of Incel encompasses a very specific view of the world, not just general woe-is-me grumpiness. Incels view themselves as unjustifiably bereaved by women, stemming from a belief that a man should be able to “earn” or be “deserving of” access to women (access to their romantic affection and sexual access to their bodies). An Incel feels entitled to the encroachment of another human being’s (specifically a woman’s) self determination and bodily autonomy. So while Incels have a faulty premise behind their claim to victimisation, it’s based on a real obstruction that comes from the very real very existence of a woman’s self sovereignty. Their issue isn’t that they’ve imagined a nonexistent force standing between them and what they want, it’s that they resent, want to invalidate and overrule the very real thing presently obstructing them. Where as, what you’ve described as “grumpy feminism” involves someone who is misusing if not knowingly weaponising political terminology to give the false veneer of validity to their claim to be a victim to an otherwise nonexistent obstruction.

@@Sanakudou yeah these are valid points. The term could be misused and the comparison to incels is not really fitting. I guess the key indicator is if there is really (how convenient, just referring to objective reality) a bias in someone's perception before labeling them as patriarchal. Stupidity, mistakes or lack of knowledge could be reasons too (and in turn CAN be results of patriarchy, but there needs to be a difference between direct and indirect or involuntary discrimination). The comparison to incels is just in regard to over-representing or widening the divide between the genders instead of referring to a shared humanity and a shared enemy of class oppression.

Both are hurting their proclaimed goal by the way. Both bringing a lot of negative attention that ultimately is counter productive because they present the movement as outside the Overton window

If you think the two are the same, you should also think that poc people who make "white people be like" memes are the same as police violence and white supremacists or your a hypocrite. One is mean, the other KILLS

how have i never found this channel before? great video :)

Reminder, violent oppression will create violent resistance. Violence may not be the most productive way to resolve issues and will cause significant harm to those even not directly involved in the violence, but violent resistance can't be critiqued while violent oppression is justified. The responsibility and accountability for resolving the violence sits with the oppressor, not the resistance. Rulers propagandize a paradigm where their violence is deemed righteous (both domestically and globally) while the response violence is barbaric. The West routinely does this. Israel's Hasbara (and pro-Israel states/media) and 'law and order' rhetoric and framing are prime examples. That state, a structure controlled by the ruling class, wants a monopoly on violence to maintain status quo. Any other violence is vilified as terrorism, rioting, lawlessness, etc. It places blame for violence on the reaction to injustice and violence, not on the cause of the reaction.

If you were not antiwhite, you'd go to jail for this statement. This proves that the regime is antiwhite, and Whites are the ones being oppressed.

First time watcher here. I really enjoyed the video, great work.

The voice & style is delicate, the perspective is rare and the intellect spot-on. Good job on calling out evil girl bosses :)

Capitalism and Fascism will always dance together, while liberalism is in the corner applauding.

_"Capitalism and Fascism will always dance together, "_ Wrong. Fascism had nothing to do with Capitalism whatsoever. On the contrary, as a socialist ideology, Fascism strictly opposed it.

@@gili12341 : Fascism was a totalitarian far-left, socialist 3rd position ideology based on National Syndicalism which they adapted from Georges Sorel. It rejected individualism, capitalism, liberalism/democracy, and marxism. The means of production was organized by national worker syndicals (i.e. trade unions), and the guiding philosophy of the state was Actual Idealism. Fascism was an outgrowth of Sorellian Syndicalism, which itself was an outgrowth from Marxist socialism. The idea was that society would be consolidated (i.e., incorporated) into syndicates (in the Italian context, fascio/fasci) which would be regulated by and serve as organs for the state, or "embody" the state (corpus = body). The purpose was the centralization and synchronization of society under the state, as an end unto itself. To quote Mussolini's infamous aphorism: "All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state." As created by Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile, Fascism comes from a belief that the "Stateless and Classless society" Communism calls for after its dictatorship cannot achieve Socialism, and that only the State can properly organize a Socialist Society. It cared about unity in a strong central government with society being brought together by syndicalist organizations obedient to the State.

Excellent video, Alice. I was reminded, by your discussion of the different ways in which men and woman are treated in the criminal justice system, of Davis' 'Are Prisons Obsolete?' where she describes how women's crime is pathologized. A couple great quotes: "It is true that men who commit the kinds of transgressions that are regarded as punishable by the state are labeled as social deviants. Nevertheless, masculine criminality has always been deemed more 'normal' than feminine criminality." "While jails and prisons have been dominant institutions for the control of men, mental institutions have served a similar purpose for women. That is, deviant men have been constructed as criminal, while deviant women have been constructed as insane." "Psychiatric drugs continue to be distributed far more extensively to imprisoned women than to their male counterparts." "If male criminals were considered to be public individuals who had simply violated the social contract, female criminals were seen as having transgressed fundamental moral principles of womanhood." She goes on to talk about how many of the proposed and established systems of punishment for women who had committed crimes mirrored domestic labor and were a kind of 'reset' to the supposed womanly duties these women had fallen away from.

Merci beaucoup pour ta vidéo, qui synthétise plein de bouts d’idées que j’avais dans la tête, et qui se relient aussi à mes réflexions sur la pertinence de la binarité des genres dans la société, qui n’est pas seulement pertinente pour les libertés des sexualité mais aussi pour l’égalité et/ou equité entre toustes les humain·e·s. Chaque vidéos sont vraiment super à regarder, bien construites et alimentées de références, pas trop longues, merciiii pour ton contenu !! Ha et super de parler de Léo et son travail hehe
