Hard On Politics: Abigail Shapiro becomes Classically Abby.

what does the word conservative mean
people like abigail shapiro are stepping forward right now to define and redefine concern she has her own definition of conservatives she has her own definition that revolves around concepts like modesty she would be ashamed if her own son grew up to be like donald trump she would be ashamed if her father or her uncle lived like donald trump nothing in this world could be more morally repugnant to her than donald trump and she sits here in silence marketing herself as the new pretty faced leader of conservatism and playing footsie with the trump supporters when you meet a guy and immediately have a connection you have one chance to make an impression do you want him to leave having your body at the forefront of his mind or you as a person you you you as a person modesty is dressing in a way that doesn't sexualize your body modesty is a way for you to respect yourself and respect others and do you want to be noticed for being beautiful or being sexy if you are wearing something incredibly revealing it will be difficult for him to focus on your personality instead he might be focusing on your physical appeal more men will think of you as a sex object if you dress like one than if you dress like a lady you may have heard me say this before there is neither good nor evil but there are people who care there are people who don't i'm a very harsh critic of what's going on on the left wing on the left end of the political spectrum it horrifies me it disappoints me in many ways but you know what the tragedy is on the left i see a whole lot of people who care i see a whole lot of people who are trying to make the world a better place and they're even courageous in the pursuit of that positive change really it's heartbreaking they think that burning down a wendy's restaurant will make the world a better place and it won't and they are courageous courageous to the point of being self-destructive in the pursuit of that positive political and social change that they yearn for so there's something there i can sympathize with and of course there's a whole lot i can despise on the left and you know when people on the right wing conservatives when they're correct about something i'm certainly eager to admit i'm eager to recognize anyone for being right about anything in politics in the 21st century but while the left wing may be simply too violent in the year 2020 what i see on the right really profoundly is a lot of cowardice you know very often i've said the deepest difference between the left and the right is the role of religion but if we're keeping all the way real when i listen to left wingers tell me why they think the drug ayahuasca is okay it sounds religious to me when i hear left wingers tell me why it is they're in support of harm reduction drug policies and the government handing out fentanyl and cocaine and heroin to people and you know this totally encouraging pro-drug addict mentality which stretches from from ayahuasca all the way down to to you know marijuana's in many ways that seems to me to reflect a kind of new age spiritual religious worldview even if it is not religious in the same sense that the worldview of abigail shapiro so overtly is there was this one quote imagine you found the love of your life and you realized you would do absolutely anything for them make that person you and do it something like that something corny i love a good corny quote and even if you're in a relationship right now do that for yourself you know make yourself feel like the most loved person in the world so it's it's not so easy for me right now to say oh well one world view is secular and one is religious they seem to be two very different religions uh contending to be more politically functional but i think there's a very important difference between someone who embraces the religion of their parents and grandparents and someone who with whatever misguided motives strikes out against the assumptions that have been inculcated into them by their parents by their grandparents by going to church by going to sunday school and who tries on some kind of new religion or attempts to reinvent religion for themselves and that is that is what's going on on the left all those people i may ridicule them and i do i may ridicule them for convincing themselves that they can buy an airplane ticket to mexico and get high on ayahuasca and speak to god that's just insanity to me but i know their grandparents didn't teach them that i know they didn't learn that in saturday school or sunday school or some kind of religious school right they somehow cobbled together this new world view this new set of spiritual beliefs they struck out on their own they struck out against the authority of their parents and grandparents and there's something courageous in that it's tragic and misguided it's self-destructive and wrong and it winds up with people getting brain damage and people becoming drug addicts and before it was ayahuasca it was lsd and i see the same mentality you know but there's something very different about the religiosity of classically abby abigail shapiro something very different when she tells you that she is carrying on the same religion her parents had and that she wants tremendous she wants to transmit that to her children she wants to make sure she raises her children with exactly the sandwich there's a real conformism right to her religiosity her worldview there's there's a there's a lack of any openness to trying new things and we all know she didn't arrive at the conclusion that her parents religion happened to be the best religion for her and her children through any kind of open-ended inquiry or study i mean i you know i chose to move to cambodia and study cambodian as a language and history culture and so that might have been a terrible choice but it was my choice i didn't inherit the cambodian language from my parents or cambodian politics or anything i chose that i did some level of research and made that choice and i get to live with the consequences right i'm learning chinese now rather than cambodian by the way also my choice in case you hadn't guessed didn't have a hand down there's there's something very different and i think that that conformism there are many knock-on consequences psychologically political but maybe one that we overlook is cowardice is the unbelievable cowardice of these people who step forward to be the voices for conservatism to define and redefine conservatives and i do genuinely think abigail shapiro classically abby i do think she has the potential to be one of the most influential voices in the next 10 years we've seen so many kind of pretty faced female would-be leaders for conservatism rise and fall especially here on youtube many of them turned out to just not even really be sincerely conservative they were just kind of playing this as a way to build up their instagram following but they got a huge instagram following this is a pattern we've seen play out again and again there's actually a kind of see-through section on the side that has like lacing and i don't think that's super modest that's not my absolute favorite thing i don't know whether i'll wear shorts or something over the top of this because of this or if i'll sew a piece in [Music] searching for abigail shapiro and donald trump searching her twitter searching all over social media i could barely find any mention of any comment on donald trump what does the word conservative mean people like abigail shapiro are stepping forward right now to define and redefine concern she has her own definition of conservatives she has her own definition that revolves around concepts like modesty she has her own method of reinventing feminism within this conservative orthodox jewish paradigm how is it possible for her to hold her tongue and remain silent about what it is she thinks and feels about donald trump she would be ashamed if her own son grew up to be like donald trump she would be ashamed if her father or her uncle lived like donald trump nothing in this world could be more morally repugnant to her than donald trump and she sits here in silence marketing herself as the new pretty faced leader of conservatism and playing ftse with the trump supporters right what does conservatism mean it fundamentally means that you're willing to engage in this kind of pious silence that you're willing to live with this kind of self-censorship this kind of cowardice am i i'm not claiming it's unique and there's i'm not going no sure if you want to be a communist there are a whole lot of things you got to remain silent about there's a whole lot of pious silence on the far left sure it's different topic for another video and believe me i've made those videos harsh condemnations of communism in the far left all over this channel no answer but in this particular video we're talking about what's going on on the right and i can't even say the far right this is mainstream american conservatism where really the only issues are low taxes abortion god with a capital letter g we're living in a world right now where the neoliberal paradigm has fallen and everyone's been sitting around asking who has the next great idea after neoliberalism ran out of gas however you want to put it and god says on the left it's not bernie sanders bernie sanders is not the inspiring new direction for the left to go in after neo-liberalism right on the right wing it's not donald trump well what is new about trumpism in both cases these are old men promoting old ideas you'll look in vain for some great innovation in terms of bernie sanders or donald trump and i'm not saying they're wrong about everything but let's be real i would respect abigail shapiro i would have tremendous ethical moral intellectual respect for her if she would make a video talking about katie johnson do you remember the name do you recognize the name katie johnson it might be you've forgotten it just because it's such a common name but if you put that name into google what's the number one result katie johnson was the woman who stepped forward to tell us all the horrifying story of how she lost her virginity to donald trump when she was only 13 years old katie johnson had two witnesses willing to stand up for her in court one was a 12 year old girl at the time witness to and participate in the same sordid scenario but the other one the other one was an adult woman a woman who was herself guilty of orchestrating the meeting between donald trump and jeffrey epstein and these two underage girls to say this case has merit would be an understatement if you know nothing else just knowing that the woman who basically pimped out these two underage girls was willing to step forward and testify in court as a witness to support the girl's story that she was willing to incriminate herself that she was willing to put herself in a prison cell to stand up for the truth to get this on the historical record or perhaps in her own mind in her own heart to atone for the harm she done that that woman the woman who was the fixer and the arranger that she stepped forward as a witness and she put her name on paper she wrote out her testimony and had it in it's in those court documents for you to read don't you think don't you think it would count for something if people like abigail shapiro had the courage to step forward and say whatever conservatism means it excludes donald j trump
