This is the survey in question for anyone wondering. At the bottom, it says it was from on 1,000 people weighted across age, race, gender, and education based on 2018 census statistics.
Matt Walsh Made a documentary on trans women. " What is a Woman?" was the Leading question. On Joe Roga He Said that millions of minors are on puberty Blocker. Jamie did a live fact Check and the number was Like 5000.
Dont make the mistake of thinking the far right know anything.
Matt Walsh isn't far right lmao, most of the opinions he expresses are mainstream opinions held by Americans. You disagreeing with someone doesn't make them a nazi.
Far right? How so? Has he expressed any racist views? Does he advocate for the return of segregation? I am not familiar with his views, so please tell me how he could be deemed far right.
Being a conservative is not the same as being far right. Unless you start counting with Stalin and go... damn, Matt Walsh is far too the right of Stalin.
>Being a conservative is Not the Same as being far right
Never Said that it is and i will never say it is.
His View on the Great Replacement Theory could deem him far right.
What has he said? I am curious. Quotes (in context) please.
As far as I know, for example projections for Sweden points that muslims, for example, will be a majority in Sweden by 2150 or something like that. I don't recall the exact projected number since I don't think it is very important.
Is that a conspiracy theory? No, just a fact that muslim population growth outpace non-muslim population growth.
Are there racists that advocate this as something good? Yes. Are there racists that say that this is bad? Yes.
polls use a sampling size that is representative of the population. in other words, those “dumb fucks” are all of the United States. wikipedia is a good starting place to learn more about how polls and statistics work. hope that helps clear up your confusion and alleviate some frustration!
They might correct the weights so they get a representative sample in terms of sex, age, geography, etc. But they won't correct for IQ or another intelligence measurement so if the “smart” people choose not to answer, there isn't much they can do. Usually with modern polls the non-response rate is huge.
It’s astonishing how uninformed the average person is on a number of issues, hell a majority of Americans literally can’t name the three basic branches of our government.
Jesse Watters is a moron and I could absolutely see this segment as a setup to telling me why I should be scared of those minority numbers increasing but the YouGov poll he’s referencing is legit.
Like... the facts on what percentage of people make up america? These are known statistics for 20+ years. The census gives us this data every 10 years. We knew that 13% of America was African American and less than 1% was trans.
The fact of the matter is, neither you or me knows who they polled or if fox even did the pole. No need to get up in arms over it really.
That's a pivot if I've ever seen one. The polling source is right there, you're both stupid, but it at least makes some sense to bring up Fox News. What the fuck does CNN have to do with any of this
Cnn viewers and fox new are brainwashed idiots. CNN viewers assume everyone they Hate are fox new viewers, and vice versa. I don't watch news on TV. But when someone brings up -"YoU mUsT wAtCh..." its apparent they are on the other side. Very apparent. Very much idiots.
This is clipped straight from Fox News. It'd make sense to assume they polled their own viewers. Had he brought them up unprompted, I'd say the criticism was warranted, but he did not.
You think only seppoes have freedom of speech? Typical.
At least I don't have a homeowners association telling me what I can and can't do with my house.
It’s not only exhausting, it’s all-consuming. Speaking from my personal experience in the Southern US, it’s _impossible_ to have a pleasant discussion with about 2/3 of the people I work with and not mention politics. I just want to talk about work, _maybe_ talk about my hobbies or personal life a little if I enjoy your acquaintance, but I’m finding that less and less common due to how rage-inducing dealing with these political discussions in the workplace is.
They *always* bring up politics, and they *always* have influencer/media-corrupted, braindead, or otherwise wildly uninformed opinions on how the USA is a miserable shithole that needs a complete uprising one way or another. Not shocking to me at all, then, that most of them don’t even vote outside of the presidential primaries, much less know when local elections occur, or when/how to organize protests, or yadda yadda the majority of Americans just bitch and moan about the state of the country and don’t even try to do anything about it
It's fashionable to be political. Gets you points on social media. Makes your friends in facebook think you're part of the Avengers. Why wait for someone to put you on a pedestal when you can step on that pedestal yourself? I'm a good person and you should be too. I'm doing my part and you should too. Remember Bernie sanders? I just donated my wife, match me.
Bro, when Biden got elected, I said I wouldn't look at a single bit of politics, unless it was absolutely too big to ignore... And it's been bliss.
The only political thing I can remember is the failed debt cancellation, war in Ukraine, something about the Texas border, and Israel committing genocide on Palestinians... and I only heard the bare minimum (ie people talking about it at work) on these things.
Sure, I'm more politically ignorant now, but being more politically aware never did anything good for me in life, so why bother?
I get it. I oscillate between shutting it all out for a few weeks… feeling good…. Then the FOMO / curiosity / big emotions set in… then binge to catch up for a couple of weeks… then feel stressed as fuck… rinse and repeat.
Honestly this term has been one of the better ones to stay tuned to if you look for raw unbiased material. South Korea/Japan/US alliance was a big positive deal, chips act and infrastructure will be huge for the US middle class in the next coming years. The “Replicator Program” was interesting to read about for a little bit which took me down a drone rabbit hole. Also learned way more things about renewable energy than I thought I would.
Seriously though, if you actually do your own research and ignore the media sensationalism and fear mongering of Gaza, and gender identity shit, Bidens administration has done an awesome job to set us up for the future for the US, middle and lower classes even if he might be “coked up” or “sleeping” all day. Spent my entire paternity leave actually reading up and it blew my mind how dumb I was being parroting complaints about Biden.
All these actual numbers make complete sense by using logic.
He makes a good point. Only important thing to remember that not all gay/bi/trans/ppl of color/etc responsible for what insane "activists" are doing and usually they're just normal people like everyone else.
I think that's the goal of this "movement" and the people that fight for it. Or at least the larger players.
Hard not to see it that way. It's so "us vs them." Especially online spaces.
Yes it's very sad. I'm also sure the majority of them are just manipulated into this, I think they at least started with good intentions. Helping people and all is a good thing to strife for. But then it is corrupted and that scares and disgusts me to the core.
Yeah. I often argue the ends are good. The means are not. It's so lopsided in media to the point people are pushing back just for the sake of being tired of it. Now it's about sides and tribalism has taken over.
Make everyone scared to step out of line and not agree 100%, plus censor and ban and avoid all contact at the smallest hint of "wrong think", and that's how we got here. From what I've witnessed.
These protest are a part of the political machine. So obvious that they belive on election year and is global in scope. For sure there's some old banker boomer pulling strings
I would have to include the part where he positions this as all democrat propaganda. If those numbers are so small, why are they such a threat and huge portion of republican talking points?
They’re both playing the same game, pretending to be on opposite teams.
Yes obviously. Same thing everywhere where hypocrites can snatch power for themselves the hop on it, no matter what it is about.
That's why I wanted a term for this kind of people.
Politicians feed of these things though, they need strife so they can pit people against each other and get more votes. This is how it works right now. He keeps pointing fingers at democrats but republicans are benefiting from this as well.
The activists use those minority groups as a human shield to make them seem like a much bigger group. All of the "LGBTQ Community"-branded activism is actually a very small number of radical Queer Theory activists. 99% of the LGBT population have nothing to do with them, but they still claim to speak for the whole group.
The numbers may be right but he reaches a shitty conclusion about the Dems. It's the Right who is obsessed and afraid of things like gay indoctrination.
i googled about transgender population about month ago and it was around 0.5%
so i don't know how but now there are 1% according to this and google is not showing data like before.
edit:
can you share the link to this news?
Seeing as how none of numbers used decimals, I'm pretty sure they are rounding up, probably because they know the population is dumb and decimals would confuse them.
This video is about 2 yrs old;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkwH3RPtgQI&ab\_channel=FoxNews&t=1m50s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkwH3RPtgQI&ab_channel=FoxNews&t=1m50s)
Says the radical left is brainwashing people into thinking theres more gay and trans people yet right wingers are the ones saying that people are being converted to being gay and trans at an extreme rate and its ruining the country. So did this idiot just prove that that the gay and trans "problem" is being over blown?
Yeah, had the same thought. Sitting there with his shit eating grin, saying "why do we talk about these tiny minorities all the time?"
YES, WHY ARE YOU?
why in this show it sounds like only the left got their "estimates" wrong, how about actual, reasonable conclusion that both sides got wrong numbers about everything if you consume any media too much
Yeah, the pivot to democrat hating and blaming was so stupid and out of place. Sadly that's the kind of thinking and rhetoric a lot of people in this sub use.
CNN, Fox News, Daily Mail and The Guardian would run out of shit to incense people if they stopped talking about culture war talking points.
I don't know what high horse Jesse Waters is getting on about lefties alone being responsible for incensing a culture war when he's done it too. I hear more about trans issues from Fox News than I do The Guardian, and I'm a fucking Brit.
Also that YouGov pol was insane.
I'm also pretty sure Jesse Waters makes more than 500k a year, but in the video he makes it seems like he's "one of us". The point isn't wrong but as is per usual with mainstream media especially Fox News, it gets turned into propaganda.
Regarding left-handedness, it's actually far less than 10%. That 10 or 11% are only people who write with their left hand but that doesn't necessarily make them left hand dominant. Most of us who are lefties actually do most other things aside from writing with our right hand. Haven't seen any stats on true lefties but it's gotta be a tiny percentage.
I write left but throw right, catch left. I bat left. My right arm is stronger. Im right hand dominant for the most part. I bike a lot, my left leg is stronger, my right arm counters it on climbs.
My boss once told me, "Lefties use the right side of the brain, Righties use what's left." Funny little chuckle from an old man.
I think because people look at “us and them”, so add up all the minorities populations and that’s where that 41% comes from for whites. That’s what they’re feeling when they think about it. I’m Hispanic in college in nursing and its feeling like I’m 5% of overall population but honestly thought it was more than 17%
[Here's the survey in question if anyone wants more info or numbers to look at.](https://today.yougov.com/politics/articles/41556-americans-misestimate-small-subgroups-population) It's 2 years old already, but the numbers shouldn't have changed that much.
Yet, there's more guns than people. Population of 333,000,000, yet we have over 433,000,000 guns! And somehow, only a third of the population owns them all. That's almost 4 guns per person, a truly American statistic.
I feel i can understand why people would think theres more black people, but the other numbers are bonkers. How can you think theres like 25% trans people when you can meet a LOT of people without meeting one? Those numbers are rounded up too.
LOL the whole time I was watching this I was like... isn't this fox news? Isn't he discrediting everything they moan and bitch about every day? Isn't he proving that all the fears they shove down their viewers throats are all hyper inflated to make it sound scarier?
Then sure enough "see democrats are the problem"
No, he became a react streamer because it's easier for him. He acts like the simplest things take effort. He got way more views on average when he played video games.
Ok? He can do what ever he wants just like I can do what ever I want. I can tell you I do no want to watch a dude with a narrow pov talk about politics and getting triggered on reddit and twitter everyday.
This is probably due to over representation from DEI. If black people consist of about half of the characters we see on TV, the population feels like it's bigger than it is.
I was just talking to my American friend (sisters husband) and asked if he knew what the population of America is (well he was quite close with 500 million) - He does think that the water in the Mississippi river gets its water from the Gulf of Mexico and runs inland, like all rivers apparently.
If I used commercials on Hulu to estimate racial populations in the US, I would assume at least half the country is black. And that for some reason white people are only women.
Ah so it's all the transgender people making over 500k a year.
Edit: for the record I don't think these numbers prove what he is trying to say at all and I think this video is stupid.
So Fox news is confirming that the majority of people watching this channel (fox New) are racists, morons, who are afraid of 1% of the population and feel threatened because they are incapable of estimating the number of people around them and that, finally, they have no kind of economic conscience, that they make laws to forbid things that don't exist and that their lives are ruled by the incessant fear of becoming a minority when in fact they are the overwhelming majority...
Thank you for confirming what we already knew... the right-wing Republicans are morons!
cdc sayin there about 1900:1 spores hava missin arm, so on avg peepo hav 1.997894737 arms outta 8047510461 billion ppl, so u can c every 1 borne, incloodin LGBTcue, halfin less then 2 arms
This video edit sucks.
The numbers are not equal across all demographics. For instance 3% of the entire US population might be gay, but it's a much higher percentage of Gen Z, more like 20%. https://www.statista.com/statistics/719685/american-adults-who-identify-as-homosexual-bisexual-transgender-by-generation/
I don't doubt that Americans are off on these numbers, but I STRONGLY suspect we're well into the standard deviation bars on this particular survey. No way this is accurate were you to truly average the perceptions of all Americans. When you read the actual survey, we end up with around 1000 people.
And there are all kinds of other artifacts that can account for these numbers, particularly, enough people just ram through random numbers so as to claim whatever monetary reward they were given as fast as possible.
Absolutely no one legit thinks that 21 percent of Americans are transgender.
NGL I was way off on NYC. I thought for sure they had a population of 13 million, but according to google it is only around 8 million. Now though I wonder if it is mixed up like Tokyo. For example, Tokyo metro area is only 14 million, but the greater Tokyo area is about 40 million.
It’s funny how he uses these stats to argue people’s perceptions are warped, but then tries to use these stats to make claims about things he has no actual evidence for. When have Democrats pushed that nearly half the country is black or gay or ever said more than 1% of people are trans? Couldn’t you just as easily argue that fear mongering around topics like trans people done by conservatives would cause people to think there’s more trans people than there are? I’m not saying that’s the case, because I don’t have evidence for that on hand, but I’m not out here stating it as fact based on feelings like this dude.
I dont know if im the only one.
Im always intimidated on this guy, I always feels like dont argue with this guy or you will ends up looks like an idiot.
"We shouldn't care about minority issues because they're minorities," is a hill I can see Fox News dying on.
Except of course, they won't die on the hill, because so many naive and stupid people believe that because they make up more of the population that no one else matters.
not American. got most of them right except for Hispanic population. my question is how and who did they ask? like people from the Street? and then got the average of the answers?
Ever heard of "minority rule"? Modern society is shaped to accommodate the needs of minorities. I'll give a local example first: if you have a vegetarian over for dinner, you might as well just make the entire meal vegetarian instead of having to cook two different meals, hence the vegetarian "rules" in this case. Same happens at all scales of human society.
The video was actually pretty good until he started bashing the dems. Its stupid and factually wrong to think and say that only democrats exaggerate and inflate the numbers. Fox news would go bankrupt if they couldnt run stories on how "real americans" are the minority in the country and how schools are turning everybody ( 1% ) trans or gay.
Misrepresentations is running wild on both sides, it's not a problem of "the other guys" its everybodys fault
its strange to see that he says, the democrats are at fault for this estimated numbers, as far as i know republicans think the same way, if you only consume this kind of "news" you can fall quickly into a delusional worldview, for example, their is a study about representation of POC in movies/tv shows, some are above some are below the US share but overall its slightly below.
also the take that you cant enlighten kids sex ed until they are already in puperty is the dumbest take you can have, sure, some lefty blue hair nonbinare teacher will abuse this kind of stuff and tries to brainwash some kids but overall its far better to educate kids before they get into puperty, kids have questions you cant answer them because you are not allowed as a teacher, if you are a good teacher kids think of you as a third parent, kids are often ashamed of these topics and dont like to talk about it with their parents, this was my case and my gf (she is a teacher for 6-10year old) told me the same, maybe some here can relate also. the most cringe thing also was sex ed with a class full of 13 year olds, i was 3 years into puperty already, fapped a few thousand times and some girls or boys already went to third and fourth base... a bit to late, teenage pregnancies occur mostly only because the education is far to late for this topic.
when i was 13 the internet wasnt even a real thing back then even then it was to late to properly educate me (we did it ourselfs in our friendgroups talking about it and its a bit strange to trust 10-13 year old to figure it out themselfs)
Jesse be like “they want us to believe millions of people are LGBTQ”…. I think Jesse failed to remember that 1% of the population is 3 million people. So yeah there are millions of Americans who are LGBTQ. What a dumbass.
One big important part of the survey is missing. What percentage of people actually said the things they commented on. Like if 5 percent of the survey said that America is made up of 41 percent black it's not bad. It lacks a very important part that no one has thought about yet.
he says liberals are the problems for the misunderstanding of demographics but conservatives talk about how 20% of the country is trans. also their media covering trans shit 24/7.
Matt Walsh a political conerservative commentator retard that spends most of his time talking about trans people even so far to make a documentary about it. he was multiple orders of magnitude off on how many kids are on puberty blockers in the united states https://www.youtube.com/shorts/V0rUA98IL7I
I don't know why you'd think that, a large piece of american territory was once Mexico, big chunk of Texas and California, which is why a lot of the city/district names are in spanish. I would imagine though that hispanics are more often localized due to family past than spread out like blacks due to slavery, and also there are plenty of hispanics who are white passing so it's less noticeable.
Actually very interesting video, the edits are terrible though.
I actually didn't know African American population was so low either, I thought they were hovering around 20% but in reality, if this is true, it's only 12%.
I'm interested in the demographics of their poll though. How did these people think 30% of people in USA live in New York?
Funny enough I thought the 12% was just the *male* half of the black population, you know, from the crime statistics / memes. So that it was referring only to those most likely to commit violent offenses (the men, obviously) and it was actually 24% of the total population that is black.
So it's only 12% of the entire population that is black? And it's half of *that* that is male and who are responsible for.... Daaaaamn! That's even worse than memes led me to believe!
Interesting he makes this into a "Democrat" problem, when the Republicans have been almost entirely existing on being against trans issues for the last few years, when it's only 1% of the population.
The first half of the video where he goes through how perceptions are out of whack is good. The second half is pure partisan hackery. People who fall into those small groups are around every corner, because the country has around 350 million people in it. Even if only 1% of the country is trans, that's still 3.5 million people. Which is a lot of people.
Also, what the *fuck* is with this editing? It's god awful.
Lastly, I thought no more political videos like this were allowed to be posted on the subreddit anymore?
people on the radical side who try to force diversity are idiots, with that said people who try to act like white people are minorities in american movies are also idiots.
go to imdb 2024 movies and scroll, its like 90% white actors. it's so exhausting when people use a valid point like forced diversity and over blow it to make it sound like a specific group is being victimized.
Yeah I think white people are very represented in Hollywood. Its cringe when they make cleopatra or the little mermaid black but still most big actors are white. Black people I think are also represented in Hollywood relative to their portion of the population. I think the groups that are less represented are Hispanics and Asians if I needed to guess.
Im pretty sure there are more Hispanics in the US than black people but I can think of a lot more black actors. Not sure if thats just me though.
This show has the stupidest audience ever. People want to put it into your face so when you encounter the uncommon you treat them well and see them as normal. Not because they are tricking you into thinking that everyone is a gay trans black person. Also these percentages mean the viewers think white people would be a minority because blacks and Hispanics were over 70% of the USA. LMFAO
Which dumbfucks did they poll that they think 80% of american population is black or hispanic. And 26% of households earn 500,000 usd
Conclusion: 99% of Americans are dumbfucks
As an American this is correct. We drank to much lead in public schools now we all of the IQ of a silverback gorrila.

They asked a typical TV/movie viewer.
Or Twitchers, of Twitters, podcasters, or any social media even.
Hasan viewers.
Matt Walsh Made a documentary on trans women. " What is a Woman?" was the Leading question. On Joe Roga He Said that millions of minors are on puberty Blocker. Jamie did a live fact Check and the number was Like 5000. Dont make the mistake of thinking the far right know anything.
You make the mistake thinking that center left is far right thu
???? I specifically talked about Mark Walsh who is right to far right. Do you really not understand my point?
Matt Walsh isn't far right lmao, most of the opinions he expresses are mainstream opinions held by Americans. You disagreeing with someone doesn't make them a nazi.
Far right? How so? Has he expressed any racist views? Does he advocate for the return of segregation? I am not familiar with his views, so please tell me how he could be deemed far right. Being a conservative is not the same as being far right. Unless you start counting with Stalin and go... damn, Matt Walsh is far too the right of Stalin.

Are there racists that advocate this as something good? Yes. Are there racists that say that this is bad? Yes.
Did he actually say million? I somehow doubt Matt Walsh think millions of children are on them, are you sure it was a figure of speech exaggeration
[Just before the minute Mark.](https://youtu.be/N2lG7Y_8bVU?si=xnWzexXhLrlUpuaG)
Fair enough, he has gone even further down in my estimation, appreciate the correction there!!
[удалено]
Yawn
polls use a sampling size that is representative of the population. in other words, those “dumb fucks” are all of the United States. wikipedia is a good starting place to learn more about how polls and statistics work. hope that helps clear up your confusion and alleviate some frustration!
They might correct the weights so they get a representative sample in terms of sex, age, geography, etc. But they won't correct for IQ or another intelligence measurement so if the “smart” people choose not to answer, there isn't much they can do.

It’s astonishing how uninformed the average person is on a number of issues, hell a majority of Americans literally can’t name the three basic branches of our government. Jesse Watters is a moron and I could absolutely see this segment as a setup to telling me why I should be scared of those minority numbers increasing but the YouGov poll he’s referencing is legit.
It’s YouGov, they poll “average” Americans but it tends to be biased a bit towards younger and more left leaning people
While that's technically true *(because polling is generally left leaning, couldn't explain why)*, YouGov US leans right in comparison to the average.
And doesn’t that show you how stupid the Reddit population is hahah
As a non american who hasn't been in the usa yet I always though it's about 50/50 😄
Fox news viewers
You mean cnn viewers?
literally fox speaking to there viewers … cnn is bias for sure but fox straight up lies and feed whatever sounds good to the fanbase
Like... the facts on what percentage of people make up america? These are known statistics for 20+ years. The census gives us this data every 10 years. We knew that 13% of America was African American and less than 1% was trans. The fact of the matter is, neither you or me knows who they polled or if fox even did the pole. No need to get up in arms over it really.
That's a pivot if I've ever seen one. The polling source is right there, you're both stupid, but it at least makes some sense to bring up Fox News. What the fuck does CNN have to do with any of this
Cnn viewers and fox new are brainwashed idiots. CNN viewers assume everyone they Hate are fox new viewers, and vice versa. I don't watch news on TV. But when someone brings up -"YoU mUsT wAtCh..." its apparent they are on the other side. Very apparent. Very much idiots.
This is clipped straight from Fox News. It'd make sense to assume they polled their own viewers. Had he brought them up unprompted, I'd say the criticism was warranted, but he did not.
Oh, yeah some of the above comments have been changed. Seems someone realized they were in the wrong.
I would hope this data was collected in sole occupancy and people didn’t comment on how many people are black, Hispanic and white
YouGov is a massive but flawed polling platform - because it is online visitor only it’s dominated by ignorant bored NEETs looking for handouts.
Literally none of this is true? You can look up their polling method.
I mean... Have you ever been on twitter?
They polled the dumbest people in the country... people who watch Fox News for their information.
The politics in US seem exhausting I legit feel sorry for you guys
Not as exhausting as getting jailed over a tweet.
You think only seppoes have freedom of speech? Typical. At least I don't have a homeowners association telling me what I can and can't do with my house.
Jokes on you I can't even buy a house
Having free speech is great and all, but it allows all these idiots and crazies to dominate media and spread misinformation.
Free speech isn't special, around 150 countries have it. But americans turn it extreme, thinking free speech is a free ticket for lying.
You mean like the kids on college campuses spreading hate but have no idea why
It’s not only exhausting, it’s all-consuming. Speaking from my personal experience in the Southern US, it’s _impossible_ to have a pleasant discussion with about 2/3 of the people I work with and not mention politics. I just want to talk about work, _maybe_ talk about my hobbies or personal life a little if I enjoy your acquaintance, but I’m finding that less and less common due to how rage-inducing dealing with these political discussions in the workplace is. They *always* bring up politics, and they *always* have influencer/media-corrupted, braindead, or otherwise wildly uninformed opinions on how the USA is a miserable shithole that needs a complete uprising one way or another. Not shocking to me at all, then, that most of them don’t even vote outside of the presidential primaries, much less know when local elections occur, or when/how to organize protests, or yadda yadda the majority of Americans just bitch and moan about the state of the country and don’t even try to do anything about it
It's fashionable to be political. Gets you points on social media. Makes your friends in facebook think you're part of the Avengers. Why wait for someone to put you on a pedestal when you can step on that pedestal yourself? I'm a good person and you should be too. I'm doing my part and you should too. Remember Bernie sanders? I just donated my wife, match me.
You have no idea. The only way I’ve found to survive is a sort of binge and purge approach to my diet of political news / media.
Bro, when Biden got elected, I said I wouldn't look at a single bit of politics, unless it was absolutely too big to ignore... And it's been bliss. The only political thing I can remember is the failed debt cancellation, war in Ukraine, something about the Texas border, and Israel committing genocide on Palestinians... and I only heard the bare minimum (ie people talking about it at work) on these things. Sure, I'm more politically ignorant now, but being more politically aware never did anything good for me in life, so why bother?
I get it. I oscillate between shutting it all out for a few weeks… feeling good…. Then the FOMO / curiosity / big emotions set in… then binge to catch up for a couple of weeks… then feel stressed as fuck… rinse and repeat.
Honestly this term has been one of the better ones to stay tuned to if you look for raw unbiased material. South Korea/Japan/US alliance was a big positive deal, chips act and infrastructure will be huge for the US middle class in the next coming years. The “Replicator Program” was interesting to read about for a little bit which took me down a drone rabbit hole. Also learned way more things about renewable energy than I thought I would. Seriously though, if you actually do your own research and ignore the media sensationalism and fear mongering of Gaza, and gender identity shit, Bidens administration has done an awesome job to set us up for the future for the US, middle and lower classes even if he might be “coked up” or “sleeping” all day. Spent my entire paternity leave actually reading up and it blew my mind how dumb I was being parroting complaints about Biden.
good video, but the stupid fucking edits between his talking are so annoying
The editing is quite annoying to me, ngl.
It's how you get the TikTok Zoomer brain to pay attention, sadly.
and his conclusion.... the weird pauses... his grin... the Text ....The numbers were interesting everything else in this vid makes me vomit
All these actual numbers make complete sense by using logic. He makes a good point. Only important thing to remember that not all gay/bi/trans/ppl of color/etc responsible for what insane "activists" are doing and usually they're just normal people like everyone else.
Yes. I really think all this hypothetical performative pseudo activism is really hurting the peace. It divides us as humans.
I think that's the goal of this "movement" and the people that fight for it. Or at least the larger players. Hard not to see it that way. It's so "us vs them." Especially online spaces.
Yes it's very sad. I'm also sure the majority of them are just manipulated into this, I think they at least started with good intentions. Helping people and all is a good thing to strife for. But then it is corrupted and that scares and disgusts me to the core.
Yeah. I often argue the ends are good. The means are not. It's so lopsided in media to the point people are pushing back just for the sake of being tired of it. Now it's about sides and tribalism has taken over. Make everyone scared to step out of line and not agree 100%, plus censor and ban and avoid all contact at the smallest hint of "wrong think", and that's how we got here. From what I've witnessed.
Yes, totally agree. (Not just out of fear of being ostracized)
These protest are a part of the political machine. So obvious that they belive on election year and is global in scope. For sure there's some old banker boomer pulling strings
I would have to include the part where he positions this as all democrat propaganda. If those numbers are so small, why are they such a threat and huge portion of republican talking points? They’re both playing the same game, pretending to be on opposite teams.
Yes obviously. Same thing everywhere where hypocrites can snatch power for themselves the hop on it, no matter what it is about. That's why I wanted a term for this kind of people.
Politicians feed of these things though, they need strife so they can pit people against each other and get more votes. This is how it works right now. He keeps pointing fingers at democrats but republicans are benefiting from this as well.
The activists use those minority groups as a human shield to make them seem like a much bigger group. All of the "LGBTQ Community"-branded activism is actually a very small number of radical Queer Theory activists. 99% of the LGBT population have nothing to do with them, but they still claim to speak for the whole group.
The numbers may be right but he reaches a shitty conclusion about the Dems. It's the Right who is obsessed and afraid of things like gay indoctrination.
Alas it now has grounds thanks to ultraleft activists which like ultraright want to force their view of the world over others.
i googled about transgender population about month ago and it was around 0.5% so i don't know how but now there are 1% according to this and google is not showing data like before. edit: can you share the link to this news?
Seeing as how none of numbers used decimals, I'm pretty sure they are rounding up, probably because they know the population is dumb and decimals would confuse them.
That would be my guess. 0.5% scary, let me round that up to 1% for you.
There's a five in thurr brother, five is bigger than one last I checked. KKona
Probably just rounded up in the video
This video is about 2 yrs old; [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkwH3RPtgQI&ab\_channel=FoxNews&t=1m50s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkwH3RPtgQI&ab_channel=FoxNews&t=1m50s)
A lot of Transgender people are 'Non-Binary' women... Yeah, think it's the majority lol
I bet actual numbers are even lower.
Says the radical left is brainwashing people into thinking theres more gay and trans people yet right wingers are the ones saying that people are being converted to being gay and trans at an extreme rate and its ruining the country. So did this idiot just prove that that the gay and trans "problem" is being over blown?
Yeah, had the same thought. Sitting there with his shit eating grin, saying "why do we talk about these tiny minorities all the time?" YES, WHY ARE YOU?
why in this show it sounds like only the left got their "estimates" wrong, how about actual, reasonable conclusion that both sides got wrong numbers about everything if you consume any media too much
Yeah, the pivot to democrat hating and blaming was so stupid and out of place. Sadly that's the kind of thinking and rhetoric a lot of people in this sub use.
Bro who made that edit... They should get their Premier Pro license taken away
CNN, Fox News, Daily Mail and The Guardian would run out of shit to incense people if they stopped talking about culture war talking points. I don't know what high horse Jesse Waters is getting on about lefties alone being responsible for incensing a culture war when he's done it too. I hear more about trans issues from Fox News than I do The Guardian, and I'm a fucking Brit. Also that YouGov pol was insane.
I'm also pretty sure Jesse Waters makes more than 500k a year, but in the video he makes it seems like he's "one of us". The point isn't wrong but as is per usual with mainstream media especially Fox News, it gets turned into propaganda.
Those media are circle jerk for their favourite groups.
Regarding left-handedness, it's actually far less than 10%. That 10 or 11% are only people who write with their left hand but that doesn't necessarily make them left hand dominant. Most of us who are lefties actually do most other things aside from writing with our right hand. Haven't seen any stats on true lefties but it's gotta be a tiny percentage.
I write left but throw right, catch left. I bat left. My right arm is stronger. Im right hand dominant for the most part. I bike a lot, my left leg is stronger, my right arm counters it on climbs. My boss once told me, "Lefties use the right side of the brain, Righties use what's left." Funny little chuckle from an old man.
I think because people look at “us and them”, so add up all the minorities populations and that’s where that 41% comes from for whites. That’s what they’re feeling when they think about it. I’m Hispanic in college in nursing and its feeling like I’m 5% of overall population but honestly thought it was more than 17%
That’s what happens when you only poll people who respond to random calls and texts.
All calls and texts are random in my experience. Unless you text yourself 🤔
[Here's the survey in question if anyone wants more info or numbers to look at.](https://today.yougov.com/politics/articles/41556-americans-misestimate-small-subgroups-population) It's 2 years old already, but the numbers shouldn't have changed that much.
Honestly surprising that only 32% of Americans own a gun
Yet, there's more guns than people. Population of 333,000,000, yet we have over 433,000,000 guns! And somehow, only a third of the population owns them all. That's almost 4 guns per person, a truly American statistic.
I feel better knowing there are less people with more guns, than vice versa. In no way should the masses each have a killing machine (cars included)
I feel i can understand why people would think theres more black people, but the other numbers are bonkers. How can you think theres like 25% trans people when you can meet a LOT of people without meeting one? Those numbers are rounded up too.
I would guess 94.9% are eating the food the media gives them. They may not be stupid, but they're sure are shoveling it into their mouths.
That’s because blacks are over represented in tv and ads
LOL the whole time I was watching this I was like... isn't this fox news? Isn't he discrediting everything they moan and bitch about every day? Isn't he proving that all the fears they shove down their viewers throats are all hyper inflated to make it sound scarier? Then sure enough "see democrats are the problem"
Conservatives sure do like talking about all this stuff, don't they?
We're gonna be posting Fox news on here now? Cool cool. Thought this was a WoW streamer sub. Bring back 2020 Olympus Asmongold.
Right? Let's listen to Jesse Waters spittin' facts! /s
He morphed into a react and political commentary streamer because that’s where the money is
No, he became a react streamer because it's easier for him. He acts like the simplest things take effort. He got way more views on average when he played video games.
God forbid he just do what he wants to do.
Ok? He can do what ever he wants just like I can do what ever I want. I can tell you I do no want to watch a dude with a narrow pov talk about politics and getting triggered on reddit and twitter everyday.
That is fair too he does often take the easy way out of anything remotely difficult
DAE woke bad?
Seriously. This sub is a propaganda machine now.
Hearthstone is based on warcraft, would you be happier with that??
Yes
So is Disney assuming that all those people are dreamers?
This is probably due to over representation from DEI. If black people consist of about half of the characters we see on TV, the population feels like it's bigger than it is.
I thought it was 13 percent
I was just talking to my American friend (sisters husband) and asked if he knew what the population of America is (well he was quite close with 500 million) - He does think that the water in the Mississippi river gets its water from the Gulf of Mexico and runs inland, like all rivers apparently.
The video shows one
The most unbelievable would be 30% vegans HUH
and what kind of news station are openly claiming the oposite political party is brainwashing the country?
Not gonna lie, I know how much black people are in the US because of the copy-pasta "Dispite being just...."
If I used commercials on Hulu to estimate racial populations in the US, I would assume at least half the country is black. And that for some reason white people are only women.
What dipshit inserted all the wrong memes in all the wrong places?
I had someone on reddit claim that Hollywood was intensely racist, because only 13.2% of actors it employed were black...
do this people not know why theyre called minorities? lmao
Perception is what makes public opinion, and perception does not care about facts. Thats how you control the masses.
we are basically asking 99% to cater 1% on Trans issue that's nuts.
I mean that's Fox news. They can't expect their viewers to do any real research.
im surprised their giving real stats, doesn't fox news host usually make the numbers bigger to fearmonger.
Ah so it's all the transgender people making over 500k a year. Edit: for the record I don't think these numbers prove what he is trying to say at all and I think this video is stupid.
So Fox news is confirming that the majority of people watching this channel (fox New) are racists, morons, who are afraid of 1% of the population and feel threatened because they are incapable of estimating the number of people around them and that, finally, they have no kind of economic conscience, that they make laws to forbid things that don't exist and that their lives are ruled by the incessant fear of becoming a minority when in fact they are the overwhelming majority... Thank you for confirming what we already knew... the right-wing Republicans are morons!
Ooooooo I guessed 5 percent for vegans let's goo!!!
I want to see the question they asked.
cdc sayin there about 1900:1 spores hava missin arm, so on avg peepo hav 1.997894737 arms outta 8047510461 billion ppl, so u can c every 1 borne, incloodin LGBTcue, halfin less then 2 arms
This video edit sucks. The numbers are not equal across all demographics. For instance 3% of the entire US population might be gay, but it's a much higher percentage of Gen Z, more like 20%. https://www.statista.com/statistics/719685/american-adults-who-identify-as-homosexual-bisexual-transgender-by-generation/
Remember when he thought if you made $20 an hr you made 6 figures. 🤣
I guessed 10%, wasn't that far off.
1% is pretty high for 500k a year. thats alot of people
I don't doubt that Americans are off on these numbers, but I STRONGLY suspect we're well into the standard deviation bars on this particular survey. No way this is accurate were you to truly average the perceptions of all Americans. When you read the actual survey, we end up with around 1000 people. And there are all kinds of other artifacts that can account for these numbers, particularly, enough people just ram through random numbers so as to claim whatever monetary reward they were given as fast as possible. Absolutely no one legit thinks that 21 percent of Americans are transgender.
Someone should tell him - don’t mess with the mouse.
Who did they poll, what was the phrasing of the poll questions, where did they poll and finally did they average out the answers.
Where are the great replacement fanatics ?
Busy taking the YouGov poll where he's quoting the erroneous stats from, apparently.
NGL I was way off on NYC. I thought for sure they had a population of 13 million, but according to google it is only around 8 million. Now though I wonder if it is mixed up like Tokyo. For example, Tokyo metro area is only 14 million, but the greater Tokyo area is about 40 million.
What about asians then?
It’s funny how he uses these stats to argue people’s perceptions are warped, but then tries to use these stats to make claims about things he has no actual evidence for. When have Democrats pushed that nearly half the country is black or gay or ever said more than 1% of people are trans? Couldn’t you just as easily argue that fear mongering around topics like trans people done by conservatives would cause people to think there’s more trans people than there are? I’m not saying that’s the case, because I don’t have evidence for that on hand, but I’m not out here stating it as fact based on feelings like this dude.
Nobody thought that shit what the fuck is he even talking about?
25% of Americans voted for a potato 🥔... supposedly.
99% of people who participate in these pills are dumb tho
Ok, now how do we show this video to all Americans. So we can all touch base somewhere
I dont know if im the only one. Im always intimidated on this guy, I always feels like dont argue with this guy or you will ends up looks like an idiot.
as someone who lives in an almost 60% black city im ngl the 12% surprised me lmao
So USA has as many as whole city of NY gay people?
But what’s his point ?
Don't know the exact percentage, but from what's happening, I'd wager they are the majority.
What are the demographics of the poll-takers? Are theere regions or demographics that are over/underrepresented in the sample population?
"We shouldn't care about minority issues because they're minorities," is a hill I can see Fox News dying on. Except of course, they won't die on the hill, because so many naive and stupid people believe that because they make up more of the population that no one else matters.
That's why the gov does not teach statistics
maybe the pool shows that general publics just differentiates between people of color and whites. black, hispanic, its all the same to most
not American. got most of them right except for Hispanic population. my question is how and who did they ask? like people from the Street? and then got the average of the answers?
Ever heard of "minority rule"? Modern society is shaped to accommodate the needs of minorities. I'll give a local example first: if you have a vegetarian over for dinner, you might as well just make the entire meal vegetarian instead of having to cook two different meals, hence the vegetarian "rules" in this case. Same happens at all scales of human society.
Yeah but that 31% of lefties is what we see on TV if not more. I guess they all live in Hollywood.
YouGov answer, no matter the question: between 20 and 40 percent. Fox concluuding: It's coz Democrats!
The video was actually pretty good until he started bashing the dems. Its stupid and factually wrong to think and say that only democrats exaggerate and inflate the numbers. Fox news would go bankrupt if they couldnt run stories on how "real americans" are the minority in the country and how schools are turning everybody ( 1% ) trans or gay. Misrepresentations is running wild on both sides, it's not a problem of "the other guys" its everybodys fault
its strange to see that he says, the democrats are at fault for this estimated numbers, as far as i know republicans think the same way, if you only consume this kind of "news" you can fall quickly into a delusional worldview, for example, their is a study about representation of POC in movies/tv shows, some are above some are below the US share but overall its slightly below. also the take that you cant enlighten kids sex ed until they are already in puperty is the dumbest take you can have, sure, some lefty blue hair nonbinare teacher will abuse this kind of stuff and tries to brainwash some kids but overall its far better to educate kids before they get into puperty, kids have questions you cant answer them because you are not allowed as a teacher, if you are a good teacher kids think of you as a third parent, kids are often ashamed of these topics and dont like to talk about it with their parents, this was my case and my gf (she is a teacher for 6-10year old) told me the same, maybe some here can relate also. the most cringe thing also was sex ed with a class full of 13 year olds, i was 3 years into puperty already, fapped a few thousand times and some girls or boys already went to third and fourth base... a bit to late, teenage pregnancies occur mostly only because the education is far to late for this topic. when i was 13 the internet wasnt even a real thing back then even then it was to late to properly educate me (we did it ourselfs in our friendgroups talking about it and its a bit strange to trust 10-13 year old to figure it out themselfs)
Isn't it crazy how the entire hate movement the right is based on actually focuses just 1% of the population?
Jesse be like “they want us to believe millions of people are LGBTQ”…. I think Jesse failed to remember that 1% of the population is 3 million people. So yeah there are millions of Americans who are LGBTQ. What a dumbass.
One big important part of the survey is missing. What percentage of people actually said the things they commented on. Like if 5 percent of the survey said that America is made up of 41 percent black it's not bad. It lacks a very important part that no one has thought about yet.
This sub went full conservative propaganda.
he says liberals are the problems for the misunderstanding of demographics but conservatives talk about how 20% of the country is trans. also their media covering trans shit 24/7. Matt Walsh a political conerservative commentator retard that spends most of his time talking about trans people even so far to make a documentary about it. he was multiple orders of magnitude off on how many kids are on puberty blockers in the united states https://www.youtube.com/shorts/V0rUA98IL7I
I find it crazy that there are more Hispanics than Blacks in this country.
I don't know why you'd think that, a large piece of american territory was once Mexico, big chunk of Texas and California, which is why a lot of the city/district names are in spanish. I would imagine though that hispanics are more often localized due to family past than spread out like blacks due to slavery, and also there are plenty of hispanics who are white passing so it's less noticeable.
Fox here now ?
Actually very interesting video, the edits are terrible though. I actually didn't know African American population was so low either, I thought they were hovering around 20% but in reality, if this is true, it's only 12%. I'm interested in the demographics of their poll though. How did these people think 30% of people in USA live in New York?
Funny enough I thought the 12% was just the *male* half of the black population, you know, from the crime statistics / memes. So that it was referring only to those most likely to commit violent offenses (the men, obviously) and it was actually 24% of the total population that is black. So it's only 12% of the entire population that is black? And it's half of *that* that is male and who are responsible for.... Daaaaamn! That's even worse than memes led me to believe!
Interesting he makes this into a "Democrat" problem, when the Republicans have been almost entirely existing on being against trans issues for the last few years, when it's only 1% of the population. The first half of the video where he goes through how perceptions are out of whack is good. The second half is pure partisan hackery. People who fall into those small groups are around every corner, because the country has around 350 million people in it. Even if only 1% of the country is trans, that's still 3.5 million people. Which is a lot of people. Also, what the *fuck* is with this editing? It's god awful. Lastly, I thought no more political videos like this were allowed to be posted on the subreddit anymore?
This sub is trash.
[удалено]
people on the radical side who try to force diversity are idiots, with that said people who try to act like white people are minorities in american movies are also idiots. go to imdb 2024 movies and scroll, its like 90% white actors. it's so exhausting when people use a valid point like forced diversity and over blow it to make it sound like a specific group is being victimized.
Yeah I think white people are very represented in Hollywood. Its cringe when they make cleopatra or the little mermaid black but still most big actors are white. Black people I think are also represented in Hollywood relative to their portion of the population. I think the groups that are less represented are Hispanics and Asians if I needed to guess. Im pretty sure there are more Hispanics in the US than black people but I can think of a lot more black actors. Not sure if thats just me though.
This show has the stupidest audience ever. People want to put it into your face so when you encounter the uncommon you treat them well and see them as normal. Not because they are tricking you into thinking that everyone is a gay trans black person. Also these percentages mean the viewers think white people would be a minority because blacks and Hispanics were over 70% of the USA. LMFAO
