Yesterday in Ohio, twelve congressional district. There was a special election, the Republican One,
I one thousand seven hundred and fifty four votes. Many people on the left May Democrats are furious, blaming the Green Party and sang pretty horrible things about them, because they believe the Green Party cost them this election. That, by voting for the Green Party, they took votes away from the Democrats who them
However, the Green Party candidate only got one thousand one hundred twenty votes. So, even if every single person who voted Green voted for the Democrats, the Democrats still would have lost
To me, this is a sign of the authoritarian tendencies of many people associate with the left,
Don't get me wrong. I think there are many people associate with the right or authoritarian as well, but because the news today is the special election in Ohio, I'm going to talk about various instances where I believe the left is moving into authoritarianism, including the banning of Alex Jones and the response to twitters decision to keep them on the platform
anti for street battles, and I guess the question I have is just: why do these people on the left? Think the Green party cost them
selection, buoyant and examined, or has the story, Ohio special election pushes Green Party into twitters trending topics, the razor thin margin between Republican, Troy, boulders and undemocratic
any oconnor in the special election in Ohio, often rational district drove the Green Party to the top of twitter is trending topics. Late Tuesday, comedian, Cathy Griffin, was just one
a social media services users who criticized Green Party voters in the formally safe republican district, which saw bothersome leading oconnor.
Less than one thousand eight hundred votes late, Tuesday Green Party candidate, Joe MAGIC Guard, one thousand one hundred twenty votes
and we can see the breakdown here from the New York Times with one hundred-
one thousand five hundred seventy four above Gay Oconnors, nine, nine thousand, eight hundred and twenty two point: six percent that Joe MAGIC received would not be enough to give Danny Oconnor the victory,
so really close race and there are some people saying that many votes haven't been counted yet so
too soon to call we should wait and I think that's fair when you're my
Origin is only a couple hundred or maybe a couple thousand votes than we probably should show a little bit see what happens in the dust settles. But how do you think many high profile personalities on the left?
responding, thereby responding to well they're, saying pretty horrible things pretty strange things and, in my opinion, kind of authoritarian things get the Griffin said Green Party voters know what to say.
Can't vote for your candidates. But don't tell me you care about the environment. If you know your vote will make the difference between a damn winning over Republican, and you still choose to vote for your candidate, who has no chance of winning Charlot Climbers
If a house is engulfed in flames, you can always rely on the Green Party to stand on the sidelines and yell at the folks working their asses up to put out the fire that they're not holding.
Waterhole, the right way. Here we have a feminist writer from share Blue, saying, dear Green Party, I hate you see
All of these high profile individuals attack people for not voting
the way they wanted is worrisome, especially
Consider the Democrat wouldn't have one anyway. But what do you think's gonna happen later on? Do you think the Green Party voters are gonna, be convinced to vote for a Democrat after being berated yell that insulted and told that you are aided by these people? There are many principles the Democrats do not believe in
the principles the Green Party does Believin. So if you're someone to vote for the Green Party, I get it. You want someone who
Here's a certain values like not taking corporate money and wanting to upset the establishment. So there are a lot of people that dont care the Republican, not elected, because
They view the Democrats and Republicans is almost the same thing. If you want to convince a green party, voter turnout, Democrat screaming, I hate you insulting them and telling them off is not the weighted
but it seems like this is the strategy of the mainstream Democrats. There upset with people for voting for Donald Trump Trump in swing states so where they do they insult transporters, they call them racists, bigots attack them call them too far gone.
Ignore them, but that's not. How do you build a cohesive society that is authoritarian behaviour? Ok, because if you are not willing to talk to someone and say hey, this is why we should work together. What's the alternative forcing them to do something, if you believe you can impose rules on others with course of force with manipulation or physical force, yeah you're, an authoritarian! You want these people to a here, too.
Your authority, without choice when it gets worse because it I'm just saying I hate you, there also saying you're, all Russians and I'm not exaggerating Elysium Olano said you know it sucks because of our
willingness to pass policy that protects our election integrity. I immediately think the Green Party votes tonight, our russian meddling. Why else would anyone cast
protest vote in Ohio when there's so much at stake. There's a million reasons. Someone would cast a vote for the Green Party by calling it a protest vote
your insulting and denigrating those who would vote Green Party. There are legitimate reasons to oppose the Democrats and not support the Republicans
but she's acting like the only reason. Some of the great Party is because they are protesting not true. Maybe some people just want to stand up for their principles in the face of the imo.
That's what you imply that there also Russians is also insane because people always vote for the Green Party. The green parties, been around forever green part, has been a huge issue. This argument that the Green Party takes votes away from Democrats has been going on for ever, but maybe these people don't realize that Green Party voters would never vote for a Democrat. I would probably vote
Party before Outlook Democrat at All- and I can imagine, is put a lot of people that would say there either going to vote for the Green Party candidate or not vote. You can't assume simply
because they vote green. They would support the Democrats. That's ridiculous argument: taller reports
Tromp supporters are deranged enough to think he's doing a good job. Green party voters no
is destroying everything. Yet they choose to vote in a way that hands him more power. Therefore,
party voters are even worse than trumps supporters even worse than tromp support, as this is a guy who said, he thinks that transporters are arranged and because the Green Party is conscious of what Europe is doing their worse, because you don't line up with them. They're going to attack you insult, you accuse you of being russian. I assure you. This is not the way to convince people to come to your side and vote where you
them to vote. But look is this really surprising to anybody? Anti first shows up to events to rally swear, not a whole lot happens and they throw me
Rochelle stay, throw bags of bodily fluids and rocks and bottles of police, and then, when the police move and on them like Nissan Portland, the narrative becomes, the police helped the fascists when in
telly the fascists, the right wing side we're having calm and peaceful discussions with antitrust protesters. So look I've been to many of these protests and even by saying this they're going to accuse me of being a protein, fascist or or-
I sympathiser, but as much as there were deplorable, behaviors and insults coming from the right. You have people like TAT.
Wearing a shouted said. You know Pinochet did nothing wrong, which is detestable young people when right wing dust DES Watchwords, yeah, that's awful, but they were talking with aunt. I trump
protesters rights. On the other side, they were throwing things at police, they are blocking the streets, they had weapons, both sides that weapons to a certain extent, I don't know who had more once I was bigger the anti
was much bigger, but anyway shows up to these rallies where much we learned apart mining, known business talking and whenever they believe some of its deplorable, but they're not fighting people that are causing violence
I'm a narrative becomes it's the conservatives, it's the right wing side who is violent and seeking violence. Now, because there wasn't violence from the right wing side for saying it was pr you ve got.
Four reports in the daily be sang. It was a pr stunt to try to make the fascist look good.
When they realise that joy Gibson is half Japanese in there are many minorities on the probably side they.
Oh, this is racists,
embracing a new kind of diversity, but why
How are they racist if their supporting mixed race and minority individuals? Perhaps the narrative isn't true? Perhaps there are people on the left who simply want to lie to manipulate who are gonna? Call you names insult. You say they hate. You call you a Russian, because your vote, the way they want you to them in a shop wearing black mass and goggles and physically attacked. You insult you and lie about you because you don't believe the things they want you to believe, and then you have the instance of Alex Jones when Twitter says that John
didn't violate any of their terms of service and doesn't banned them people than attack twitter. Let me give a quick shut up to today's sponsor virtual virtual.
A virtual private network service that helps to keep your data safe, be it from the government, a hacker
We want the spine. Your information of GPS is going to help boggy escaped your data and make it much much harder for eliminate
their offering their identities safe service for free. You can enjoy twelve
of online security from the world's easiest and fast asleep. Yet only fifty seven, fifty plus one year, for
of their exclusive. I tend to safe software, for those that are interested in the link will be in the description, but we oppose Twitter, CEO Jack Dorsey, called out on its own website over Alex Jones decision.
Jones is seriously the hell. You want your integrity to die on. Dorothy said it's not of a twitter to disown him referring. The outs Jones is on everyone else. Its critical journalists document validate and refute such information directly, so people can form their own opinions. Dorsey wrote. This is what serves the public conversation,
that's dance, didn't go over well on his own platform, we're going to read through all of these tweets, but suffice it to say there are many people who are arguing that
Twitter should remove Alex Jones because he spreads lies, and I've talked a million times was concerned about this because who gets to decide what the truth is. That's not a good thing that centralisation of
our so going back to the idea of the left having a problem with authoritarianism. They believe in some kind of centralized belief, structure or action should be taken against certain individuals, authoritarianism,
is broad right. The general ideas that everyone adheres to an authority without choice if the opposite of libertarianism, where the individual has the right to freely move about and do what they want to do so long as they don't harm others. If you're authoritarian, you likely believe that you have the right to impose rules on other people without their consent, whereas the more libertarian position on talking at the top bottom political compass libertarians believe that people have to agree to things now. There is the left and right spectrum where left, libertarian as people vote democratically on having should function and right, libertarian us
means more towards free markets where we can just buying traded as as we see fit. But then you have the authoritarian spectrum where they say do as your told or else, and now we can see the tendencies coming from the left in this issue. The Green party did not cost the democratic election, but they're going to attack you anyway they're going to insult you.
Their mad that Donald Trump one. So when they do they insult they attack and they physically attacked even outside of anti thought. There were men
it protesters showing up trump conventions. Beating people
I was there and I watched all this. When did any of the Trump supporters show up to Bernie or Hilary rallies, an attack people they didn't not once
Now, there's absolutely violence among the left and the right and a lot of people get angry,
when I say this item stop equating the two- and I say this- it is true at least to do as far as my wrist
scouts when you, Google, search something like you, know, tromp supporter and attacked you find
overwhelmingly the stories are about people wearing tromp, hats or being transporters and getting attacked. There are a couple instances where people wearing trumpets attacked others. It happens. But when we talk about the difference in violence, there, extremists on the right who commit acts of terror- and I call them right because their nationalist internationalists at its it's hard to really define what left and right means because cut of nebulous, sometimes, but it exists the differences when I cover mainstream politics. When I'm talking about run of the Mill America, the left is oppressive to the right in October of twenty seventeen vocs produce this video
tubes messy fight with its most extreme creators where they talk about how they are people who produce hate speech on the platform in the video they show Stephan Manu Lawrence Other a match.
This is what you got Gavin against behind here. You ve got marked ice. Stephen prouder Alex Jones Loop, Caskey, impulsive Watson,
stand the argument there making against enforcer, claiming that he gets wait. You closed advocated for violence. They call it hate speech, positive lots in very critical of Islam and critical of Trans community as his Lawrence other. So if you want to call that hate speech, ok, I understand it, but when they bring in Stephen crowded was actually
their tepid he's more to stay, moderate conservative voice and he's rather respectful in most instances or Luke Rakowski when they say conspiracy, theorists, but loop. Caskeys content has been feature on the front page of Yahoo.
Who's, Al Jazeera and AOL outcome, because he's done actual reporting. Where he's question people can be wrong. I think Luke can do some pretty fringy content, but when he interviews politicians at the democratic conventions, that's
mainstream news reporting the reason I bring this up as that box tweeted this out just the other day in response to the banning of Alex Jones, saying it's not just out Jones.
Is also these people. The people on the left, mainstream left people at vocs who call themselves
justice where's as this individual does? Who made this video wants to ban certain speech because they disagree with it,
one example they use is a calm. Video from Jared Taylor, who is a racist, was a white nationalist and argues about race, realism. He says that's clearly hate speech, but you just have to figure it out. I absolutely disagree with James Taylor. I dont like racism or racists, but he's not saying he hates people he's arguing for
point of view and you disagree with it now. I don't necessarily like the argument is that he's making? I dont think that people have to support any these individuals, but I'm worried about a future.
Where, when someone tries to prevent an argument, you call it a hateful argument and you remove them from the platform think about what that means for civil rights at there was a point where civil rights was considered to be degenerate, hateful and shouldn't be alone. Public discourse and people were attacked because of it. We don't want to go back to that and I think that's why so many people call this the regressive left. They want to restrict certain speech, because I disagree with the arguments. Well, that can only lead to one future where your arguments get shot down below, in which they are the comments below the budget even subjects year, but typically, I think we have.
Authoritarian tendencies among the left. That's rather than starting to me. So let me know what you think will keep the conversation going to new videos every day at four p dot m and have a bunch more videos up on my second channel at Youtube: dot com, Timcast news starting around six p dot m. So thank you all so much for watching
And I will see you all next time
