This is so true. What an amazing family! Everyone brilliant in their own way, but still carrying the same message of humanity and compassion. Mate family is bringing hope/trust in humans back into my life.

You left out a member of the Mate family that is amazing

Oddly, or maybe not, they are from the far left, that *DOES NOT* mean liberal!

@@taosyoginamaste6278 he left out two amazing family members, the female part of the family that has less media exposure but are both beautiful, genuine, and authentic in that very special Mate way too.

I’ve always been a fan of Aaron and Gabor. So happy to have found Danial a few weeks ago.

Don't forget Nelson Mandela was on terrorist watch lists too.

@@eyedownload Hell, they imprisoned him for 27 years as a "terrorist"! Thanks for reminding me!

@@eyedownload we (U:S) had him officially labeled one up until *~2008~…yes, as in over a decade *post** Nobel Peace prize. It’s farcical.

...and that the CIA helped apartheid SA arrest him.​@@eyedownload

It is such a pity you only add to the violent hatred we see growing on both sides.

i totally feel the same. Thank you for posting!

Am surprised by your praise for Brene Brown. I just watched her thing on Netflix and she's so superficial, choc a bloc with catch phrases, but a very good communicator.Found her annoying after 15 minutes.

So true, I was really shocked at her naive and yes dangerous stance - I have been previously so impressed by her. Thank you Daniel - a very fair and reasoned breakdown.

I may be wrong, but I think this is the son of the amazing Gabor Maté?

Years ago I saw her weigh in on some political issue and I was done with her. She isn’t honest about her participation in war-thinking. She’s not deep enough to self-confront. She postures to protect her comfortable position. I’m not surprised that she took this position.

Having a Romany grandfather whose family was killed in death camps this excuse has always been hollow, the holocaust has always been heavily politicized, including the erasure of ethnic Poles and Romany. I got laughed at for mentioning the ethnic Poles, they know exactly what their intent is, they really don't care about holocaust history unless they can use it as leverage. Currently people want to erase pacifist Jews as well, pretending these people have any empathy will just ensnare you in their gaslighting.

Said is a bullshit orientalist. Jews are fighting Jihad, not overcompensating for the Holocaust. Watch your mouth homie.

I bet Said would think babbling about “white manhood” is brain dead.

Agreed! The "victim" storyline is now shopworn.

There is weakness in some of your argument an protestations. The abject violence, especially sexual directed at those in Israel on Oct 7 was not just a 'liberation' strategy. While acknowledging the rightful rage, desparation, and desires of Palestinians for justice and a concern for their suffering in the vengeful reaction of Israel's government, why can't you show outrage over the ideological hate and barbaric actions,rapes, torture, encouraged by Hamas and other groups in their assault on Oct 7? Their actions were not just a spontaneous riot under tension, not just an intifada. You ignore the leadership, planning, intent, intimidation, and religious repression imposed on the Palestinians and also real evidence ( not just IDF propaganda) of using civilian homes, schools, hospitals as cover. Use of fear and suppression of opposition within. Recruiting aid workers for murder. Your outrage in this emotional response has lost my respect or ability to listen. Your disdain and superiority is what Is conveyed without an ability to show compassion to those who 'also' suffered on Oct 7 alongside the Palestinians caught in terror by the failure of their leaders to negotiate or surrender. Several who sit in luxury and have while their people were suffering. Their failure to use more resources to build up, educate, innovate ,rather than entrench and focus on terror. Your brutality comes through in your speech, not any respect or consideration for gray or any position other than what you proclaim. You are indeed coming across misogynist especially by not even acknowledging the terror, rapes , and cheering on of cruelty, not acknowledging the accounts witnessed and documented. It need not be one or the other. The oppression and incursions by Israel need to stop. It's murder campaign is neither just nor perhaps even effective in it's stated purpose. Too much damage covering up years of bad policies and protecting power of a would be dictator too. The provocations by holding power over Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza need to stop for there to be dignity. Yet to not call out the brutality and antisemitism of Hamas and other Islamic jihadists etc shows a willful blindness on YOUR part. Perhaps your own desparation to have a simple good/evil split and side to align with to feel redeemed for your prior zionist upbringing. While i wish for freedom for Palestinian people and walls to come down, in no way as female or Jewish would I want to live under a regime led by Hamas or proxies of Iran, those who have no interest in tolerance. Oh and you overide the desires of millions of Palestinians within Israel who would choose it's (now stressed) democracy over the other, and a more peaceful path to reconciliation and restitution. How about giving and recognizing their voices in this matter too?

The entire Mate family.... so talented ❗🌟❗🌟❗🌟❗🌟❗🌟

​@zovalentine7305 talented for sure. What I find most remarkable about Aaron, Daniel, and Gabor Mate is their epistemic humility and integrity. They do not care what is true they only want to know the truth and operate from a humble understanding that doing otherwise makes them hypocrites and shills for those who want what's least good for humanity.

Thank you for breaking her writing into the facts that a lot of people don't seem to research starting with her! You gave done a Fantastic & profound analysis Thank You Thank You!🙏🙏👍

Excelent commentary!!!

Great stuff Mate!!!

Brava, Steph. Hope you have also seen the conversation between Daniel, brother Aaron and father Gabor kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l-Cop9t83q7SpHU.html - and the panel with Gabor, Naomi Klein and Simone Zimmerman on the film "Israelism" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/itaYis-FtqzPh3k.html - both of which delve deeply into the psychological aspects behind the propaganda. Simone's personal experience is explored in the film, which can be screened at home via its website. Blessings to you ~ M.

The solution is to end the illegal occupation. l​@randomletter-5i4

You ♡

@randomletter-5i4 end the occupation, for starters.

I feel exactly the same.

☝🏽💯

I can’t stop commenting on her website! This was therapeutic for me too.

I'd never heard of this influencer until listening here to Daniel's full scale dismantling of her emotional--political arguments. But the arguments are bad-faith stances we've all heard from colleagues or neighbors or family members in recent months. It's a pipe-dream to hope this Brené person will ever hear, much less absorb, what Daniel said here. But at least he's modeled for the rest of us, in both argument and demeanor, some helpful ways to respond to the disingenuous Brenés in our own lives. Thanks, Daniel!

I didn't read her piece, but in reading watching you get people still not seeing what's going on. And it's hard to take. I go into a rant, In my head. Hearing shared eye-boggling cognitive dissonance its hard to take. Listening to Daniel's rant is fun and he is a good person to have an outlet. Well-spoken, not spoken in any disrespectful way addressing her blind spots. And found more to learn about.

I think in this situation, Brene Broen doesn't deserve respect . She only deserves to be addressed as human.

Whether she deserves it or not, Daniel would demean or dehumanize himself by being disrespectful, whatever the flaws of the "deserving" target of his disrespect.@@lesliemctavish4300

On behalf of all the decent people, thank you from the bottom of our heart.

I’m so sorry for the trauma this ruthless attack on Gaza brings back for you. This Californian is on your side. I wish I could give you a hug. 🙏❤️

I’m so sorry that Israel’s current aggression is stirring up your own trauma. Sending you and your family love from the US, where I’ll keep screaming into the void.

Why would he have any beef with the palestinians?

Palestinians didnt do anything, the empathy is for the thousands of people dying, kids being killed by israel. it is called having basic empathy for human suffering for the ones who were merely put on this earth a couple years, a couple days ago.

Any trauma he or his brother have, come from zi0nism and being raised in zi0nist culture. There is a difference between teaching/learning history, and ritualistically re-traumatizing children with it on a daily basis with no end in sight.

@@mariGentle I had the same question.

Islam created hamas

best thing I've listened to on KZfaq this year! well done Daniel. continue to call out the ignorance of ppl like BB! bravo ✌️🇨🇦🙋🏽‍♀️

Don’t feel alone ! They are pretending not to see but be patient , and don’t lose hope ! Palestinians are bearing such a plight, let’s be strong and will-spirited to not give up ! Love from France

I'm with you, most people commenting here feel like you, empathy is precious and even though sometimes we feel alone, know many kind people all over the world think and feel like you ☮️💜

I’m just south of Portland & know many who feel like you, as I do also. God bless you ❤️🙏🏼

Unfortunately a lot of the „hippie“ and esoteric crowd is like this: hide behind „peace“ phrases until your privilege is at stake. Keep going to protests, don’t shy away from discussing with friends, write journalists and politicians! Every little bit helps

Long Story Short: you can not „both sides“ a Gen0$ide - that’s called gaslighting

100%

It would be better that she make her views public, IF she were big enough to respond, vulnerably. She could grow. The world could grow. Compare her audience with Daniel's. Unfortunately vulnerability is just a "cash-cow" to Brene!

Was Getting Sick of her beforehand. Mature white woman here.

One thing you have to remember about Brene is she is a Texan, and therefore will usually be behind... but what credit i give her is that she usually will reflect and catch up.

Amen!!!

@@SD62534 If I were religious, I'd say that too.

I have to add my voice here. Please speak more about this and anything important to you. Subscribed in case you're inclined to do so in future.

There are some flaws in his logic but mostly well done

Oh so well put. Thank you.

Nice!! ❤️🙏🏾

This! If there is one more point to add to the video this would be it.

I just wish he had acknowledged that language most certainly is a form of violent control also in personal relationships within the larger power structures he talks about, especially but not only in abusive relationships. This is quite different from accepting the notion that people shouldn't hold each other to account with language that causes discomfort.

Because she understands where her money comes from

Well said.

Brutally fair indeed.

Our media has not shown an objective coverage of the Palestinian/Israel conflict for many decades which is why so many have the pro-Zionist feelings that they do. They simply don't know the facts and thus their feelings are formed as a result.

She knows exactly what she's doing. Follow the money...

And so should you. This felt more like a triggered tirade than a considered response, and ignores lots of facts. Besides shows a lack of empathy for the victims of Oct 7 and also many Israeli's who work for peace and seek justice, just because the government is indeed oppressive. Regardless of the atrocities of a right wing and violent fundamentalistic government, do the people deserve to be targeted? If so then you have just strenthened Israel's justification for the attacks in Gaza. ( which I do not agree with or support)

@amonly this didn’t sound like a triggered tirade at all and you don’t know what you’re talking about, sweetie. Your view is heavily determined by your ego rather than he facts of the matter.

There do seem to be some facts you missed yourself, however, kinda loved that you took on a sacred cow. Laughed out loud a few times.

very well said!

Exactly what I was thinking as I was listening to this

As a former staunch NPR liberal I stopped following Brene when it became obvious that somehow the 2016 Trump election broke her brain. ( Btw: I never voted for Trump or Biden ) Her work with shame and vulnerability is a good stepping stone on the way to self awareness. It's too bad Brene has exposed herself as someone with a deep lack of self awareness that she has built a multi million dollar living teaching.

Yes! I also think that a classical education in which a very high standard of language is developed and logic/critical thinking is a main part is lacking for most of us today. Not to forget studying and discussing the Great Books.

I read your comment then looked over to the right of the screen to see a suggested video of Brené Brown on "Surrounding Yourself With People Who Take Pleasure in Your Joy" on The Ellen Show, another white woman in the comfortable liberal pajamas who has been exposed for being cruel and unfeeling

cancel her and don't buy her stuff!

DO not support her ever - signed Indigenous Genocide Survivor

Sounds to me like her body of work has rigamortis.

76 years ago, Truman & Congress violated Magna Carta principles. They unilaterally removed Americans' inalienable fundamental right to freedom from religion. Read it on Wikipedia and replace the characters with the current actors. King = Truman French guy = South Africa Rebels =Palestinians America was created post Magna Carta and multiple holy wars in mankind's rear view mirror. 1st Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, Was to protect us from this because in order to have a free society, one must first have freedom from religion. The second sentence is freedom of religion. Justified by the Christian writers' belief, one had to accept Christ.

Cause it’s not a concentration camp so that blows your bs out of the water

@@dafnacohen9735 can you tell me what you think it is? Describe the life of a typical gazan, just so I can understand where you’re coming from.

​@dafnacohen9735 what is Gaza? I see Warsaw add Dresden

@@dafnacohen9735 here is the definition from Merriam-Webster dictionary that I’m following when I use the term concentration camp: « a place where large numbers of people (such as prisoners of war, political prisoners, refugees, or the members of an ethnic or religious minority) are detained or confined under armed guard. » What definition are you using?

Ooh I wouldn’t go so far as to call them top psychology experts 😬

I agree ... it's been shattering seeing the position of people I truly admired with respect to the genocide going on - people from whom I heard an unequivocal message of courage before, have behaved so cowardly. A true awakening for me, and probably many others. Thank God for the truly courageous people like Dr. Gabor Mate and his sons! They are a light to the world!

Yikes Peterson is just clickbait he's not much of a thinker - hardly surprising. Bit of a sad old creep tbh. I agree Daniel nailed it!

@@YuyiLeal just a note: Dr. Gabor is *almost* truly courageous. If you want to see truly courageous, see Alice Miller.

​@@penyarol83 Alice Miller never had the emotional courage to admit just how much and how badly her father failed her. I don't hold it against her but it's important not to idealize anyone.

I see more people wake up and learning about the reality. I am feeling more and more confident that things will change to the better. Also, as an Arab this makes me reflect on which side would I stand on if the roles were reversed and I always ask god to show me the truth and help me stand on the side of the oppressed.

@@Wise__guy Well said my friend. Blessings from Los Angeles 🙏❣️
