@pluckyduck11y 3 года назад
DC was on fire for several bocks in multiple directions just last May. The 2020 riots were the most destructive and violent riots in half a century. Billions in damages were done to hundreds of buildings, and not just small businesses but also including your sacred federal buildings too. Over 50 federal buildings were burned or damaged. Thousands of people were hurt. There were hundreds of shootings, and over 30 people murdered. You don't get to call that "mostly peaceful" and then decry and condemn the Capitol riot. Not only did the establishment and MSM and leftist punditry set the precedent for this, but far, far worse than the Capitol riot. Oh, and we have no reason to expect anything less. The left pushed 4 years of Russia-gate, so you can expect at least 4 more years of election-fraud narratives. Again, the left set this precedent, pushing incendiary partisan propaganda for years, culminating in the 2020 riots. What happened at the Capitol was a drop in the bucket. The utterly insane rhetoric coming from Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Kamala Harris, and Joe Biden not only precipitated but inspired and encouraged the worst riots in half a century, by far. You do not get to trivialize and even defend the terrorizing of half the nation for 5+ months straight, and then condemn your opposition when they react not even 1/10th as destructive or violently. Biden and Harris literally bailed out the 2020 rioters. Please explain why Pelosi, Waters, Harris and Biden have not been deplatformed for inspiring and instigating exponentially more harm.

@@yaongingyfmm1571 That is the case if you think like you and I, Its quite obvious that there is a scary amount that doesn't though. I was a tad masochistic today, I went onto MSNBC RU-vid and started a discussion with some Trumpsters, It soon became clear that the person I was "debating" thought that it was Antifa that had done this attack to give the right a bad name. And for him this quote would have been perfect towards us. We see this over and over again, it is a real social cost to acknowledge that the actions taken by ones own group doesn't coincide with ones own moral principals so they decide to make a scapegoat out of the opposition instead.

That was funny. Shaman is a left wing extremist. Seen at BLM protests and climate change protests. Not a trumper. Friend of Pelosi's son-in-law (selfie taken together). We are finding out more as time rolls on. Like Capitol police chief asked 6 times for additional law enforcement and was denied. FBI was alerted to separate cell attacks prior to Jan 6th and did not alert the President. We have footage of Capitol police moving barriers to allow protesters to enter the Capitol. We need more information to make any determination on what happened that day. There was no "incitement of insurrection." That is absurd.

@@vickigeorge5348 you are just obviously reading ONLY conspiratorial nonsense and accepting it as true. You won't accept any evidence which directly contradicts literally everything you just said. Pelosi's son in law is a REPORTER who happened to be REPORTING about the riot and was recorded next to one of the most striking figures at the protest. You can literally find the unphotoshopped version of the viking guy holding a Q Anon sign. He has done podcasts about his conspiratorial beliefs - this is all obviously true and easy to find, but you are more concerned with blinding yourself to anything that doesn't fit inside your little conspiracy box. The only thing "absurd" here is that you have wasted everyone's time posting obviously false BS.

It's almost like Sam doesn't get that real life humans leave comments on his videos lol. The same way he doesn't accept an equivalence between some nobody bar-owner in Detroit having his life's work trashed by BLM and some guy taking selfies in Pelosi's office. The first is - to him - regrettable but requires context. The latter is abhorrent and must never be tolerated at any cost. Elitist public officials should never feel threatened by the little people - the bar owner can cower under his bar as the mob riots, but to think Pelosi - with her pomp and ceremony - should have to worry about *her* security in DC... perish the thought. One shudders to think.

every single republican had condemm january 6th, they have 100 times. No matter how many times they do it the media will always say they some how supported it even though supposidly they were going to "hang mike pence". At the same time they say they came to over throw the election and mike pence was going to do it but pence said no. I wonder why they wowuldnt have cleared something like that ahead of time before storming the capitol. I wonder how the conversation went "Hey mike, i know we were just out there saying we wanted to hang you, but can u do us a favor and not certify this?" The whole entire narritve of what they are accusing the protesters of what happend is totaly bogus, it makes absolutely no sense. These people were protesting because of all the election interference, with the FBI working to cover up the hunter biden laptop a full scale effort using the tools of the national security apparatus to get their preferred candidate election. they concoted the scheme with the 50 intel agent letter at the debate that was bogus. They wanted them to delay the certification as is part of the certification process, these issues are handled by the congress. The main goal of the biden administration was to stop trump from running again so the corrupt part fo the government would never face accountability. In the constituion one of the only things that can disqualify you from being president is if you plan an issurection. Since there was a permitted protest they decided to use that as an opportunity, all they had to do was accuse the protesters of being domestic terrorists and of this absolutely bogus plan in which there was no evidence. It took 3 trails to convict the proud boys, their rights and due process were denied, the whole thing was a disgrace there was no evidence at all. It begs to ask, why was there no secuirty in the building when they knew there was a big protest. pelsois daughter showdd up with a film crew she seemed to know it was going to happen Trump had authorized upto 20k national gaurd troops, it was turned down by the DC mayor why on earth would he have done that if he wanted people to storm the capital. Then we have the entire ray epps situation. I hope today people have figued out this was a huge fuckking scam, and i hope you detract your comment after realizing what was done to these innocent people is disgusting. That they would lock up innocent people some upto 20 years to advance a political interest. I hope these people one day are able to see justice. The people who did this have not gotten away with anything, they are accomplises in a criminal conspiracy that cost the lives or many people. I really hope the left one day figures out they are being lied to and the depth of those lies is bottomless. msnbc criticizes cnn for having trump on, they call it being a traitor, people on the right call it healthy debate listening to both sides. The left never will have people from the right on when they critcize them and give them a chance to give their side, their entire view depends on you not knowing the truth. If the left was telling the truth and right was lying they would be begging republicans to come on and debate, the inverse is true. Anyone that doesnt understand it by now is a moron, willfully ignorant. I know if people on the left were capable of critical thinking and could formulate their own conclusions through listening to both sides and determining them, they would agree with the right. We know this is true because they will never debate anyone they critcize on the right by the merrits of their arguments and views, never will they discuss the substance of the issues, they would loose everytime. Instead they censor, smear people, and double down on identity politics - racializing everything, demoralizing our youth convicning them that america is a hateful place and they are unwanted and will always be treated unfairly becaue of the color of their skin. There is no such thing as personal responsibility, nothign is ever your fault, its always the fault of some external system. Its the left that is slowly destroying our country, it is not the right, they are the only good thing going on right now in this country.

And furthermore, why would they then even further go to the trouble of complaining to Sam about it afterwards, if they don't care, lol? If they really don't care, they should at least have the humility to keep that apathy to themselves, and not expect the likes of Sam Harris, or anyone else for that matter, to also practice such apathy by way of silence. The only reason these people find his political talk distasteful is because they disagree with him, because let's not be so stupid and naïve that we pretend here that these people don't have any political opinions of their own... Just because someone practices meditation, and even sports it around as an app, doesn't mean they have to be totally sanguine on every other issue out there in the world.

I am hearing false information here, so I am not convinced this is either logical or wise, personally. First this was obviously not a coup, no-one was storming from what I could see, some of them probably acted inappropriately. It is not really a miracle that not more got killed, I am surprised any got killed to be honest. As I understand it people can enter the capital building, it is not illegal, true? Obviously a mob should be restrained, for the purpose of preventing chaos. I am not 100% aware of what actually happened. Was anything actually vandalized? I think there is no comparison with the BLM riots. The BLM riots were much worse from what I have seen, people being burned alive etc. That was terrible. The dictator in this case will be Biden, if you don't think that, then you will find out. Think about what side you are on when that happens (although I am sure that most of Sam's fans don't actually like Biden - I can only hope). When Biden issues a decree to give the dems absolute power then we will know. Maybe he won't, who knows? This podcast was absolutely mental from my point of view. I was quite surprised.

I agree with Sam's people who are talking about mindfulness and politics. They are the ones who are right here, and it is not about not caring about the world. I do think it is impossible for Sam to be completely mindful, at least for now. I like the fact that Sam does give everyone the benefit of the doubt, about making the "wrong point" about racialization. The black cop Sam was talking about, knew he was not going to die so he just backed off (fair enough the mob was probably extremely scary but they were not killers, even the BLM rioters for the most part are not killers). The fact that the cop is not dead is proof of that obviously. The claims of white supremacy are a cover for what the dems are about to do.... You do realize that, right? Last point, on Twitter, I could not disagree with Sam more. Twitter has been projected by section 230, and the government provided it with that to allow it to grow into a monopoly, and now the government protects it, so I cannot agree with Jack's actions, it is actually government action to silence critics. That is obvious. This pure fascism happening right in front of you all.

@@mike2carrington Glad someone said this because I just started listening and was thinking what?? How do you expect a successful coup if you're not even armed? Anyone who thinks this was a coup attempt is mental in my eyes. A handful of unarmed people vs. the entire US government? Maybe they're reading between the lines and are attributing it to Trump trying to manipulate his follows into taking action in numbers that meant it would be possible to make something happen (that's what I assume this is really about) but what transpired was not close to a coup, and from the side of the likes of Sam Harris it's a very uncharitable way of viewing Trump. I'm not entirely sure of the chain of events but I heard him say to peacefully protest so I don't think you can go after Trump. In my opinion this is just an effort to tarnish his reputation, from leftists that don't like his brand of politics and want to discourage people from following in his footsteps. He threatens the status quo, and in my eyes they see it as the lesser of two evils to lie about him, rather than risking what comes down the tracks (they think he's the next Hitler or something?). I could be wrong, but plenty of people have let the mask slip over Trump in the last 4 years. As for BLM, those riots were far worse. The capital hill rioters were a bunch of people who probably let things go too far, overstepped the mark and then goofed around in a place they shouldn't have been. I didn't know a cop was murdered with a fire extinguisher, if that's true it's unacceptable and the person/people responsible need to be thrown in jail, but the cops also murdered an unarmed woman so both sides did bad things. I think Trump makes people take leave of their senses, on both sides, and I really don't know why. In fairness though, I still think he makes some good points (literally right after I made this comment). I suppose it is a difficult situation for the police if rioters burst into a building. Elected officials lives should be equally valuable to any citizen in the country (not more valuable) but I suppose the police can't assume the mob are going to show restraint, so perhaps in hindsight the mob were largely not dangerous, but at the time you couldn't have treated them in that way.

@John Smith - This is an insane conflation and false comparison reflecting a partisan disconnection from all reality. From 25 to 30 million Americans (of all races, actually) engaged in street demonstrations in every major city in this country. The cause of this reaction was a breaking point from the endless cases of white officers killing unarmed blacks, as captured on video dozens of times over, including in just the last few years: shooting a man in his car next to his girlfriend, slowly strangling to death a man for selling cigarettes, shooting a child with a toy gun not even pointed at anyone, shooting a man repeatedly in the back and then planting a gun next to the body, and shooting a kid who was walking away, in the back, and then shooting his body which was flat on the ground an additional 15 times. Then of course the slow murder of Floyd, also done in front of multiple cameras because white cops knew none of these other incidents mattered in America. That is what those protests with all those millions of American participating was about, and yes there were a tiny fraction of people involved who committed crimes of looting and violence, by mathematical comparison an utterly minute fraction, and it was condemned. The causes of the sedition and terrorist insurrection at the Capitol had no moral component, but rather it was an attack on democracy and the Constitution driven in huge part by white nationalism and the Trump Death Cult. Even in the course of bringing justice to the these terrorists we immediately and yet again (again, again, again) see white privilege in the courts in its ongoing obscenity against basic decency and fairness: mobile.twitter.com/DerenicByrd/status/1352559036915310594 Trying to use that tiny percentage of those millions of Americans as comparable to Trump cultists and openly admitted racists engaged in violent acts of sedition and insurrection against our government, against democracy, including goals of killing even the Vice President, is the most idiotic kind of argument a person could ever attempt.

I know Sam doesn't read the comments, hell, would you? lol.. But just to put it out there, thanks man. For some reason listening to this helped lift a little bit of weight off my shoulders or lift just a little bit of the fog that's around me right now. It's refreshing and reassuring to know there is someone out there who clearly sees what is happening all around us and can put it into words that clear, concise and on point. Edit: As opposed to Dark Horse I, for one, am glad we haven't got "the old Sam back", as if it was Sam who changed in the first place. Maybe it's not that we need to get the old Sam back, maybe it's time for some others to take a long hard look in the mirror to see who's changed.

I was watching a video interview with a current 30 something Franciscan Monk, why he became a monk and what it’s like. I came to the realization that this persons life wasn’t full of true discipline. That would consist of actually living in current society and maintaining mindfulness while working through problems of finance, materialism, and politics. I appreciate you not treating mindfulness like an escape but more of a tool to logically pass through the problems that present themselves to us.

Yes, it's true. To deny the passion spectrum is to deny real current humanity. Passion should be polished with understanding and critical thinking, not ignored until it explodes or oppositely until our hormones become so depleted that proper motivations are waned. If your meditation practice leads to beliefs that make you unable to engage politically, then you have cultivated improper aversion instead of any basic goodness.

I’m disappointed in the first portion of his response. He’s minimizing the impact that the rioting, destruction and violence that occurred throughout 2020 had on this country. People’s entire livelihoods were destroyed in cities all over the USA just because people felt like taking out their personal frustrations on the businesses of complete strangers. We now have a VP in the White House who personally participated in bailing out rioters and people who committed violent criminal acts. As unhinged as the event at the Capitol was, it’s nothing compared to the damage that’s being caused by “educators” in schools and universities, brainwashing students with delusional views of reality based on a Marxist ideology where anyone who challenges it is considered a “racist” and is cancelled and their life is destroyed. It’s an act of complete hypocrisy by the Left. It’s their usual ‘Do as I say, not as I do’ way of operating.

I think you're misrepresenting a lot of people's arguments when you say that people are arguing that, for example, the black police officer didn't shoot the white people threatening him because of internalized white supremacy. Most people, I hope, know that's bullshit. When they say that we all know it would have gone differently if it were a BLM protest its because we literally know that in the past, it has gone differently. Not to say that police showed up and shot everyone. But they did show up, in far greater number than the capitol police showed up for this insurrection, and with far more intimidating equipment and a much freer hand with tear gas, rubber bullets, concussive grenades, etc. What came to mind for me, when this comparison was made, was the Lafayette Square protest and the President's // law enforcement's response to that. There is a very stark difference. Its possible to attribute it to things other than white privilege, maybe its as simple as Trump and the DC mayor inadvertently working together to sabotage law enforcements response. But there is a difference, and its not as braindead a comparison as you make it out to be.

@ksin42
@ksin42 3 года назад
Yes, thank you I'm so glad you wrote this out so I didn't have to. This deconstruction of the "if this was a BLM protest" seems disingenuous at best. The woman who was shot was trying to climb through a window to disrupt the literal government as it was verifying the election results in real time, nothing at all comparable to even the most violent of the looters this summer. The police violence against the *peaceful* BLM protesters is exactly the point since the events of the 6th did start out with a theoretically peaceful protest. Riot gear was standard this summer, but it appears the riot gear only came out on Wednesday well after the violence was in full force. Sam seems very blinded by his SJW fixation in this analysis, which has lead to a disappointing lack of nuance in his discussion of race here.

BLM have been treated with kid gloves, and even have direct support from democratic party. It is hard to compare when there are so many examples of BLM protests and riots and only one trump supporter protest or riot. If you took BLM at their demonstrated worst, the Capitol building would be in flames, congress creatures would have been attacked and even killed. Police would have been killed and all the laptops would have been stolen. At their best there would probably be a press at the barriers with minimal damage and injury. But the police did fire on unarmed trump supporting protesters, they did use tear gas. Have any BLM protestors or rioters been shot and killed by police? (While protesting at their worst)
@neverhero3215
@neverhero3215 3 года назад
You've got to be kidding me. Lets take it point by point. First off "congress creatures" lol. Why do you think BLM would have killed any members of congress or police? In all the dozens of BLM protests, there was not a single police officer killed. Yet in our very first Trump Insurrection (TM) we had an officer casualty. The police fired on them when they were literally beating down doors behind which were people they were charged to protect. There is no analogous situation with BLM for you to compare to. As for tear gas, don't make me laugh. Either you paid no attention to BLM protests and riots, or you aren't remembering them very well. There is video after video of the insurrection without any visible misting of crowd control, either inside or out. Things certainly changed as the day progressed, but even after the capitol was breached the crowd as largely unopposed. Saying that that is somehow worse treatment than BLM saw is absurd.
