You've already lost your argument with the New Left who want to ban free speech. You acknowledge that the people who ban free speech are correct in their assessment of the people whose speech they want to ban, that they are evil and a potential threat. In doing so you grant the argument that they should be kept to the fringes. Banning their speech is the most efficient way to keep them on the fringes. You don't win an argument with the New Left by granting that their moral framework is correct except this one new thing. They have gained the power they have through incremental pushes and by accepting the moral validity of the victories they've already made you make it inevitable that they will win on this issue as well. If you truly believe in free speech it should be because you believe that people must be able to have the freedom to speak. That's it. Any caveats or reasoning that accepts that the people who want to ban it are correct in their moral and threat assessments and are merely misguided on the best method to minimize the threat is already ceding the argument.

With social media making it easy for anyone to portray who they want to be it's refreshing to see someone who is real and this needs to be celebrated more.

Yo i just saw Sean take the MW title belt and found this. Major respect to Sean. Not just the fighters in the ring, but the demons haunting his mind could stop him overcoming himself. Bravo

I have the same communication style as him. Though I'm not as tough, the hurt he has gone through is apparent to me. It fucks you up, noticing you're turning bordeline psycho due to trauma, and doing your best to be a good man knowing you can only rely on yourself to be there for you. Good for him, people supporting you gives you hope. I hope he doesn't lose them, it's bleak.

Most people unfortunately equate disagreeing with or disregarding 21st Century Western Liberal social and moral values with being stupid. The modern tendency to view morality and philosophy as a science that can be derived through a consensus of experts leads to the majority of people viewing people who disagree with them as stupid or suffering from some sort of clinical mental disorder. They cannot acknowledge that someone might disagree with the consensus for reasons other than stupidity or insanity, and this tendency is leading to a very dark place.

I think anyone who grew up extremely poor in the US has at least once in their lives been in the same emotional place as Sean. It gives an entirely different perspective on the world from what most people experience. It makes a person far more inclined to violence and uncaring about consequences because when you experience severe hardship even jail sounds better than an average day. Three solid meals a day is better than nothing. People fail to understand that poverty can leave permanent effects on people. This is something that I believe we should bring awareness about and try to create ways to help people who grow up in these situations. The system currently fails so many people and most of them will end up in prison or on drugs to cope with their problems. Childhood trauma, abuse and poverty are legitimate problems in our society and have been overlooked for the most part.

My wife and I are huge Strickland fans and laugh at the notion that Sean is some psychopath on a warpath to kill… it’s simply a false sense of what some want to make him out to be! Having the clip of Jared speaking on Sean was a must for this video so again well done sir!

Sean is now being criticized by people saying he "talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk". I think these people have never been locked in a cage with another man essentially trying to kill you.

He has a wonderful Jab, what can I say. It worked and he won!

Great video man, as always!

Appreciate it brother, always great seeing you in the comments buddy! Hope you are well.

What a nuanced opinion piece on mma and culture at large, although I understand why you would think this video would go over the intended audiences heads I believe there may be a few out there that could truly benefit from your perspective. Thank you :)

Thank you my friend I appreciate it! It definitely was tricky to write without coming off like either pretenseious or stupid aha

He is crazy dude and funny and honest today 95 % of people arent honest they put faces to hide honesty you know i think sean is rare in my opinion.

Sean is the kindest man in the UFC.. a real psychopath would NEVER call himself a psychopath, a REAL murderer would NEVER talk about murdering someone. Trust me the ones who claim to be nice guys are usually the most evil ones, and Sean is not an evil guy.

Great video and it exactly encapsulated my thoughts about the guy, just in a better told way than I could ever say

He is not psycho he is just edgy.

Probably a sociopath

Not really sure if Strickland is a psychopath. He's so over the top and "seemingly" transparent about having violent tendencies. I would think most psychopaths actually try to put up a mask and appear to be kind or superficially nice

Thats your perception. “I would think” Not all psychopaths are the same. Some of them are totally transparent and open

Well done. Im not sure if people will understand what this video is all about? Byt in my eyes, it was not about Sean and that's why I love it. You used paradigm of Sean's character (that he plays or not) to give an exsample of something that touch us all. Only people that were intimate with chatarsis for some time might have a chance to understand message (deeply hidden, but yet in plain sight) of this video.

great video! keep em coming!

Ghandi is wrong. It’s as natural to hate as it is to love. People naturally are drawn to their own kind also. Look at the stats. Especially true in tribal scenarios, but it’s blatantly true even in this plastic modernity
