This comment section is so refreshing, it’s amazing how cordial politics can be when people don’t make it their entire identity

I've watched your content for years, so much of this is stuff that I already know. But I don't watch you particularly because of your political stance. There are times I agree with you and times I don't. I watch because you have a distinctive style and you're engaging, if not also funny. Your biggest strength is that you never take yourself too seriously, even when talking about serious things.

I know your audience is generally left of center but as a part of the percentage that is probably even further than right than you are, I want to echo everyone else's respect for your positions. Your dignity and humility in approaching everything is what makes you such a one of a kind voice in this space. It is something you've inspired me to practice myself.

You’re at 600, 000 subscribers now!?!? That’s absolutely insane! I’ve watched for about 1.5-2 years and you had like 60k subs. Definitely hitting a million in 2022, JJ. Keep up your grind and it will pay off!

I'll be really honest, knowing what political beliefs you have, have no affects on how I watch this channel, as I enjoy this channel and I always click on a new video.

The community you’ve garnered around this channel is truly amazing, it’s so rare to see genuine dialogue and understanding between rivalling opinions. Growing up in a middle class family in a nice suburban neighbourhood in maple ridge I feel very similarly to issues as you and you’ve helped me find the right words to express my opinions to both family and friends and for that I can’t thank you enough. I strive to be as unbiased as I can and look at things from every side (my family is very liberal so that also helps me stay grounded in my more conservative beliefs); and to find a channel like yours that effectively reports on issues and events in ways that appeal to most people on both spectrums has had a very positive effect on how I’m able to discus politics considering I’m still young and learning (just graduated last year). Just wanted to say thank you for the sincerity and knowledge you’ve shared.

This is good political content. I was raised as a “centrist” moderate conservative, and have drifted center-left on average over time as I took the time to re-examine my positions with more information and more nuanced moral arguments, but I deeply respect anyone who can coherently articulate and civilly argue their beliefs in good faith...which is sadly becoming rarer as the parties here in the US play the populist game of erecting strawmen to tear down.

[kobalt]

I cannot begin to express how much i appreciate your mindset on a lot of these things. The world needs more people who think like you (not necessarily policy wise or specific idea wise) but people who are able to be pragmatic about things and arnt afraid to have a more nuanced political identity. thank you

[applesushi]

I'm a pretty unapologetic "lefty" (though think more European social democrat than socialist) and I really appreciate your thoughtfulness and channel as a whole. I am so sad that moderation has been largely lost.

[Wilderness-Will]

You're so reasonable it's kind of ridiculous. In this age of hyperbole and never ending mass-media induced social fury, I expect my content creators to be bombastic, angry, and tell me to hate people who disagree with us-- your temperate disposition simply won't do in 2022.

[christophertstone]

As a lefty bordering on socialist, I respect and understand you viewpoint because it's grounded in a broader understanding. If all political discourse had as much thought as yours we've be a long way from the culture war crap to that motivates too many voters. Thank you.

[carl-oscarkallstrom]

I am what people would call a “leftist” and your channel and perspective is something I really appreciate. I remember coming across your channel a year or so ago and actually clicking away from the video when I heard you were a conservative. That is something I do regret and I’m happy I was mature enough in the end to click on your videos when they popped up a few months later.

[soupasaurusrex]

i'm so glad i found your channel, as a left-leaning queer person it's really hard to find other perspectives that don't seek to alienate people like me so i frequently get stuck in echo chambers, so it's really good to find an 'un-left' creator that doesn't base their political identity on who they don't like :)

[onelazynoob]

As someone who's firmly positioned on the left, it's good to hear there are people who don't necessarily agree with all my values but in a way that doesn't demonize the very existence of certain groups or the inflammatory moral grandstanding often heard from conservative rhetoric. It's also refreshing to hear someone with this particular perspective of conserving the status quo that is aware that their position is at least in part influenced by how they benefit from the status quo. I think the main thing that separates you from most conservatives is that you actually think critically about your beliefs rather than simply leaning on appeals to emotion. Great vid

[notaword]

I'm pretty heavily left wing, but you represent a very welcoming and understandable form of conservatism. And as someone from the U.S. I can genuinely say it's incredibly refreshing to see a conservative that doesn't break down into cultist conspiracy. I enjoy engaging with your videos and really appreciate someone who treats politics reasonably. Thank you for being here :]

[sunnydaze]

As a leftist, it's refreshing to see a reasonable conservative talking, given that the majority of people on social media calling themselves conservative are much more the prickly culture war types. That, and your intentions seem to be relatively good.

I think it is more appropriate to build your own beliefs and principles stronger rather than tear down those of another when pleading your case in the political field

[JayTeeDE]

I'm glad that you openly talk about political opinions instead of toxicly denying that videos are apolitical. This a lot more honest than other creators. Being honest with that can make it easier for both viewers understanding which comments might be neutral or which might have a bias (in a way you didn't intend).

[magicalwizard]

I do appreciate that this channel is an un-left space and I personally think its the the most unique and gravitating 'selling point' of J.J.'s videos. As someone who would probably consider themself on the left side of things, the internet is oversaturated with a left prespective to the point of nausea but at the same time, most things labeled 'conservative' are very reactionary and 'radically' conservative to the point of nausea which is why your non-sensationalized beliefs make a pleasent and refreshing breath-of-fresh-air middle-ground

[furby]

As a leftist liberal, I appreciate you being an aware conservative more than I would if you were a blind liberal. Whether conservative, liberal, or otherwise, one of the worst things you can do is blindly follow and agree with every single thing your party does. I think it’s great that you realize your party’s history, unlike a lot of LGBTQ+ conservatives. Not only do you acknowledge the wrongdoings of your party, you hold them to their faults. I try to do the same and I think it’s the best thing to do if you hope to ever truly achieve a better future for your nation and the world.
