A video discussing the meaning of dog-whistle politics, and why I think reading political double talk can easily lead to increased divisiveness. Specifically, I pull from videos of the following creators and topics: Polidice dog whistle, innuendo studios euphemism, HISHE Frozen, and Viva Frei on honi soit qui mal y pense. I don’t like attributing racist dog whistles to others because it tends to just turn into racist accusations and the boy who cried racist. There are definitely people who disguise racists things in double talk, but I would also say that some people read racism into everything they hear. I just think if people stopped assuming bad intentions and dog whistles from others less people would get burned at the stake, and we could have far more useful and meaningful dialogue in the realm of politics.
Here is a link to a video of a similar sort of argument, why I don’t like political preaching in shows: https://youtu.be/IkF30--d_VA

Is the US Racist? Welcome to a video that shows data about racism here in the US. The concept of systemic racism is nebulous, so I look into statistics and data in the following areas:
Redlining
Inequality
Mobility
Education and job rates
Black names on resumes
Affirmative action
Healthcare
Punishment
Crime
Policing
Police shootings
As I see it, seeing systemic racism in many ways is comparable to seeing a glass as half-empty or half-full. People look at the reality of the amount of water, but then disagree on which is the proper way to view the world. It’s complicated, but I hope you enjoy!

A video on hipsters, millennials, and a girl with a love for goats. The idea is that I think hipsters have faded from public perception and are now lumped into the millennial tent, which I can understand, but I think is a little silly. I also think hipsters hate mainstream, but they went mainstream, so that’s a little ironic. Ultimately, I feel like hipsters try to be unique, but in flaunting their unique hobbies, they end up as part of a stereotype, rather than a unique individual. And the people who are truly interesting and unique don’t need to flaunt it, because they are happy with who they are and what they like.

The third in a short series answer the question, are Mormons Christian? This episode is called Mormons and Salvation, but the real name of the Mormons are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but because I’m trying to approach the topic from a generically Christian perspective, I’m using the Church’s nickname to more easily answer people who have questions like, “Do Mormons confuse being saved?”, and “What do Mormons believe about being saved?” Anyway, I discuss faith vs works, the centrality of Christ’s great sacrifice for our redemption and salvation, and put forward that these discussion on doctrinal differences should never turn into an us and them, that is exactly what the devil would love, spend so much time squabbling over little details that we forget the basic tenets of Christianity.: to be meek, patient, and to love one another.

How God Reveals Himself to us Personally: revelation is the religious term we use to describe God making Himself known unto man, be it to an individual (personal revelation) or to a larger group (prophetic revelation). As both a Christian in general and a Member of the Church of Jesus Christ more specifically, I would like to talk about some of the complexities surrounding revelation that we should consider. I can only speak from my own experiences, but I know from my interactions with Him that our Heavenly Father is real and He cares about me, and he knows and cares about you. I hope this discussion helps you on your own search for truth and journey of faith.

This is a response video on incomparable world views, specifically discussing expressive individualism, Johnny Harris’ video “Why I Left the Mormon Church”, and the world view of Christianity in general, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints specifically. Johnny embraced the worldview of expressive individualism that put him at odds with the Christian faith. Then he moved from a place of being a religious majority to a minority, and he decided that a year’s worth of prayer and study was sufficient to get an answer from God. The biggest issue in my mind is that Johnny seems to believe that ‘self expression and self actualization’ can and should trump and be at odds with Obedience to God. To me it is obvious that if there is a God Who is our Heavenly Father, obedience to His commandments would be the only way to truly achieve self actualization.

Evan McMullin 2022 vs Evan McMullin 2016. McMullin has taken opposing stances now compared to a few years ago, specifically in the realms of abortion, gun control, and the Affordable Care Act, sometimes called ObamaCare. Now is it OK for people to change their minds? Definitely! But I'm also a fan of political candidates who are transparent with their positions and principles, and when they might change their opinions on a given subject they could point to an overriding principle they are striving for, or new information that has come forward to change their minds. So far, McMullin has shown a whole lot of change in opinions, but has yet to show his foundational principles common to both his past and present political campaigns. He could surprise me with just such information when debate season rolls around, but I’m not holding my breath.

Projecting racism everywhere is what Systemic Racism and Critical Race Theory (CRT) does best. Racism is always a tragedy, but not all tragedies are racist. Unfortunately Systemic Racism seems to assume that every tragedy or discrepancy is due to racism, and that includes the video of George Floyd and any sort of different outcomes for different races. This bugs me, so I decided to make this video specifically pointing out that there is no evidence that Floyd's death occurred was because of his race. And assigning racism to a tragedy because of the color of people’s skin is racist and wrong.
