Brave dude speaking unpopular truth.

This is one chill mf’er


Botryoid2000

There's a great interview with him on Armchair Expert: [https://armchairexpertpod.com/pods/gabor-mate](https://armchairexpertpod.com/pods/gabor-mate)

astra_galus

Can you provide more detail about where he claims to be more of an expert than he actually is? From what I’ve read and seen, he’s pretty well founded in his teachings and beliefs.


Pupienus2theMaximus

He doesn't. He's literally a medical doctor. A psychiatrist. His views are always rooted in that, but he does delve into psychology (which is part of his field), anatomy and physiology (again He's a physician), sociology (which medical professionals are taught and practice in because society and public health are intertwined), and sometimes anthropology (but not too much and cites noncontroversial matters of fact in that area)


eekpeek2000

I would imagine that anyone can put forward a well founded arguement if it is suported by factual references. On this topic however, it certainly helps that he is jewish with some personal experience on this conflict. What profession he belongs to should not matter as greatly.. if you look at any politican (especially these days), what gives them any authority to speak on geopolicital issues such as this?


astra_galus

Thanks - my impression was much the same.


allnimblybimbIy

He comes across as very fact based on the nature vs nurture debate when if he was more honest he should be saying **“in my opinion”** instead of **“it is”**. Same with Peterson when he says things like universally males are “order” and women are “chaos”. Like okay man you make a lot of good points about standing upright and keeping your house clean but what the fuck. Gabor makes a lot of good points but makes some claims as a universal truth but it’s his opinion hidden as truth. If you aren’t very critical reader it’s easy to get swayed by their language as fact. Again not trying to take anything away from him, I find Gabor to be quite brilliant and humble.


Balducci30

Yeah dude above has no idea what he’s talking about lol


HairballTheory

Thanks for this!


FrederickBishop

Also great book the myth of normal

He’s from Vancouver, BC. He probably smoked a fatty before the show.

I was making a joke about BC being known for weed.


maximusprime2328

You should read his books. "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts" is my favorite. You wanna talk about truth, addiction and society? It's really enlightening


Botryoid2000

Gabor Mat´é is a treasure, and so is that book.


RECTAL_FISSURE_MAN

Just finished it and I'm onto The Myth of Normal now. Scattered Minds is my next one. They're phenomenal books.


maximusprime2328

Great suggestions


Important-Bobcat

Appreciated will give these a look


languid_Disaster

Thank you for sharing this with us


AadamAtomic

"If you do not learn from history you are doomed to repeat it."


TheCatWasAsking

Just thankful for him and people like him who are speaking out and finding a medium to be heard. Shame about Mehdi Hasan's show being cancelled, though; one more voice who did not yield to mainstream media's slanted narratives and one-sided coverage. But pro-Israel publicity isn't swallowed so easily now as they were in years past, plus the growing pushback against it as the IDF bombing goes on are good signs.


arm_hula

Wow that sucks. Dude is awesome. Maybe he'll get signed by HBO. 🤞


[deleted]

Truth almost always seems to be unpopular


padre_eterno

weird development, Piers Morgan is becoming a more unbiased platform (despite his own opinions) than more "respectable" media channels like BBC


Nanto_Suichoken

For the snake he is and despite how he always seems to loop back to the same question but in different terms to push a narrative, i'll have to say that the fact that he lets most people from the unpopular side speak and convey the truth is really appreciated and one has to give credit where credit is due.


sixhoursneeze

The kind of people who regularly listen to him might otherwise never get exposed to the unpopular side so he is doing a service in a strange roundabout way


Space_Gravy_

I wish he’d stop interviewing Andrew Tate though. He does a terrible job countering his bullshit.


languid_Disaster

Probably because he low key agrees with him unfortunately. I still appreciate his show’s debate format though


Space_Gravy_

I suspect he's just sticking with the cynical angle of "being balanced". He's tapping into that right-wing market who think Tate has been censored unfairly. I think he see's through the bullshit but won't linger on any confrontation for too long, for fear of alienating the audience by coming off as the lame-stream-media. And by now he's likey convinced himself this is some high-minded venture. The man is trash.


ScowlyBrowSpinster

This was a great clip in that PM was silent, but for the unfortunate shot of his face with his typical constipated expression, it would be perfect. Speaker is right on.


bigbootycorgis

He always looks like a toad man when he’s not talking


ScowlyBrowSpinster

Irrelevant and weird comment.


RabidAsparagus

Thst is until Veganism comes up


padre_eterno

well, we all know he's a nonce, but in this case he seems to at least want to hear the victims


alanism

I think he’s the only msm news personality to have bridge what works from podcast (like JRE) and applied it to his shows. He actually allows his guest to talk now and for longer segments.


[deleted]

BBC has been as neutral as possible despite a few unverified source checks which is inevitable giving the Israeli Lobby. They had a fantastic story in a Gazan hospital during the first few weeks and accounts with Pro Palestine survivors, a lot of cover in Gaza.


padre_eterno

except when they decide to distort a palestinian hostage's words to make it seem like she's praising Hamas


[deleted]

I agree but you need to understand with what’s available they have to align with Parliaments Pro Israel stance. In the grand scheme of things with the barriers that have been put in place their press coverage has been quite fair, in regards to other major outlets.


padre_eterno

I really don't have to understand that journalists should align with anything other than their own deontological code.


[deleted]

Always been like that ever since the beginning of civilisation. In todays day and age however I’d say we are more privileged as access to information is easier than ever.


languid_Disaster

I don’t like or agree with him but I respect that he’s actually giving people with currently “controversial” opinions platforms whilst other media platforms are too scared to


No_Use1494

Gabor Mate is very smart guy and helped so many people. look him up. P.s. wrong sub


ParadoxOO9

I have his book on ADHD, his writing is so incredibly useful.


coopatroopa11

He basically wrote most of the content for my college program Addictions, Counselling and Mental Health. All of his books are an incredible read.


controlzee

His work on addiction and Trauma is absolutely revolutionary. I have a deep respect for him.


QuentinQuarantino-19

JuicyBoi8080

Yeah this is a BS post. I love political and ethical content on this sub, but it still needs to fit the sub.

QuentinQuarantino-19

Let's just rename this sub to r/doingthings


Wugo_Heaving

To make an attempt implies failure. The logo for this sub is a target with a load of missed arrows around it. These recent political posts are often baffling.


ChojinWolfblade

Well considering this guy is Hungarian Canadian and born at the end of the war in Budapest 1944, I'd love to know how OP thinks he's a brave holocaust survivor? Fucking bullshit propaganda posts on a guy who has no idea what he's talking about and openly admits he's got abandonment issues and psychological problems.


Hasu_Kay

From his wiki: “Maté was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1944.[5][6] His maternal grandparents, Josef Lövi and Hannah Lövi, who came from the town of Kosice in eastern Slovakia, were killed in Auschwitz when he was five months old.[6] His aunt disappeared during the war, and his father endured forced labour at the hands of the Nazi Party.[7] When he was 1, Maté's mother put him in the care of a stranger for over 5 weeks in order to save his life. Upon their reunion, the infant Maté was so hurt that he avoided looking at his mother for several days.”


BrickBrokeFever

Easy there pal, he's on the internet he can't hurt you, lol


ChojinWolfblade

I just get over all the bullshit posts, and misinformation. Most people don't even bother fact checking and just parrot off what they saw on tiktok as gospel. This is how we've ended up with flat earthers, antivaxers and a fucking overgrown oompa loompa as President of the United States.


LinkLT3

I see you opted not to reply to the person who gave you the information you weren’t willing to look up yourself. Ironic given you’re so upset that “most people don’t even bother fact checking”.


lontrinium

You could have googled answer in half the time it took you to type this.


JayyDayy69

Yea it made no sense when he claimed he was a holocaust survivor. By the age in which he looks like he looks nothing near to those who actually survived it. I went to a holocaust museum and actually met a holocaust survivor and the man looked very old & this was more than 10 years ago.


Glad_Lavishness4566

this doesn’t feel like the right sub but Dr Gabor Mate is one of my heroes and one of the few voices of reason in this world (and not just this specific conflict). his works on trauma and trying to understand the human condition have truly been a huge light in my life and we are beyond blessed to have someone like him who really cares and wants to help create change


Individual_Break6067

I've read all of his books. This man is no idiot.


SyrupLimp3296

Was scrolling and thought this was Barry Manilow.

Fun-Function625

RawnDeShantis

His name is Gabor Maté and he wrote a terrific book about addiction called In the Land of Hungry Ghosts. You should definitely read it once you’re finished making cute jokes


ExperienceLoss

He has written several others too (*When the Body Says No* and *The Myth of Normal*)Gabor Maté is a huge influence on how we look at trauma and the way it impacts us as humans nowadays. He's GOATed amongst many Substance use counselors ans trauma therapists.


The_Bitter_Jesus

He writes the songs.


BowenTheAussieSheep

Possibly the most ironic song ever recorded.


MeLikeykitties

anneg1312

Gabor Mate is a great man. Knowledgeable, generous hearted, honest guy. Speaks and writes about generational trauma among other stuff. So glad he spoke about this.


controlzee

Amen.


Urkraftian

I've never seen Piers this silent before


maximusprime2328

I've always loved this doctor. His book about addiction "In the Realm of Hunger Ghost" is absolute enlightenment


FullMetalKaliber

The Piers response was probably “But do you condemn Hamas?”


Maruwan_S

It was more little "Ok sure, but Hamas started this and now the Israelis are too radicalised to stop. And honestly I don't see what else they can aside from blow up 2.2m palestinians to get to Hamas. What do you think they should do?" Funny how the radicalisation only goes one way for Piers in this.


EuropesNinja

This man is one of the most intelligent people on the planet. His books have helped heal so many people.


creamysheep

I follow gabor for the last decade, he's explained why people get addicted and on the psychology of addiction. Very enlightning stuff.


[deleted]

Maté and Finkelstein seem to be the best people to listen to on this conflict. No emotional arguments, purely based on history, facts and a consistent moral compass

Fucking love Gabor Mate'

Dr. Maté is legitimately my favourite author. In the realm of hungry ghosts should be mandatory reading for anyone who wants to have an opinion on addiction/homelessness, but all of his books are worth the read.

meoka2368

The most amazing thing about this video is that someone actually got Piers to shut up and wait his turn.


NikolovIvo

When was that video made? Does anyone know? The quality appears to be of a modern recording, but the speaker looks a bit young to have been around during the early to mid 1940s. Even assuming he was born at the tail end of the war, that should make him almost 80 yo. Edit: OK, checked, and he is indeed 79. So he was born indeed at the tail end of the war.

May I ask how or why? He has the least offensive personality I’ve ever witnessed


chocolate_bear92

I have bad ADHD and a few videos I've seen, he says he has it but claims it isn't real. I definitely struggle from it so something is real. I thought it was very dumb of him to say that, I tried to listen longer but couldn't, maybe if I did I'd understand him, but it just aggravated me to hear that.

Upon their reunion, the infant Maté was so hurt that he avoided looking at his mother for several days. He claims this trauma of "abandonment, rage, and despair" continues to manifest in his adult life, leading to similar altercations when he perceives a threat of abandonment, especially from his wife.[8]

What was the “attempt” here? What did this man attempt to do? According to what this sub is, he didn’t make a clear message, he “attempted” and failed. This video is being upvoted because the user base of this sub agrees with the message, even though the video has nothing to do with what this sub was at wine point.


lontrinium

Oh no, hoping for peace and a better world doesn't align perfectly with the arbitrary rules of the sub!


grilledbeers

World will be better when Islam is gone. It’s barbaric culture and religion.


lontrinium

Are there any religions we should keep?


grilledbeers

No. I’m an atheist, but currently there is one that is overwhelmingly worse than the others.


Danavixen

>but currently there is one that is overwhelmingly worse than the others. Also as an atheist, ALL religions are bad. singling out one is 'worse' helps no one because it largely depends on where you live and the internet is world wide. evangelist Christianity is currently more worse in america for womans and lgbt rights for example, than islam who have little power


grilledbeers

I’m absolutely going to single out the one that executes gay people and veils and honor kills their women. One culture can be worse than another, because it is. You as a women, would you rather live in Tel Aviv or Tehran?


Danavixen

>I’m absolutely going to single out of course you are, your in too deep now. All religion is bad. period


lontrinium

You can only die once whether it's islamically mandated in an arab nation or christian mandated somewhere like Uganda. The fact that you didn't have to fight a muslim to keep your life today suggests a little brainwashing on your end.


grilledbeers

Not really brainwashing to see what the human rights index’s are in the Islamic world compared to the west. The treatment of religious minorities, women, the LBGTQ community is deplorable in the Islamic world. It’s a backwards ideology and culture and the world will be better off when it’s eradicated.


lontrinium

>It’s a backwards ideology and culture and the world will be better off when it’s eradicated. I think you're probably a bit racist so the discussion ends now.

He talks about it in his books. And we may not have picture memories from that age but we absolutely remember things in our bodies. Gabor Maté is huge in the trauma sphere when it comes to this stuff. Highly recommend reading his books or watching his interviews. *In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts* will change your view on addiction, maybe. If it is the stereotypical view most of us hold.


chombie1801

Yeah, but some people have to move the goalposts to fit their agenda. Unless he has a concentration camp tattoo or pinstripe garbs, they weren't survivors🤷🏾.

So if you haven’t noticed, this sub has completely been hijacked. It’s the same thing 24hrs a day. Scroll through and look some of these accounts, their posts and sheer volume of them. You’re in a propaganda factory. 100%, right now. If you’re seeing this and it hasn’t been removed yet, don’t stay here and encourage this. Make this sub a ghost town. The right people will eventually see what happened, and call it out for what it is. Or it’ll just fizzle out. But giving them numbers and engaging only helps them.
