Well, there are more people obese in the world than impoverished these days. We have amazing technology in the palms of our hands. The average person in the US makes 40,000 per year and is basically in the 1 percent of the world in terms of wealth. It’s not all as bad as the documentaries try to make it seem. It’s a drama that sells, no matter whether on the left or the right. Violent crime has gone way down, yet news shows more violence than ever. You see where I am going. I wish PBS would be fair also. They go right into it with January 6th when the Portland riots were way way worse overall. It all comes down to psychology. The capital (much like the towers) has a psychological significance whereas the buildings in Portland you can’t even name what they were called or what businesses were looted and burned. I just wish PBS portrayed a more of a fair and balanced approach to their journalism, which should be objective. And I am a fan of Bernie, yet appreciate Trump too. I just like to see fairness in these documentaries which is a bit too much to ask. It’s in Biden’s hands now, and we just have to pray that he makes some better decisions than he has done so far. We shall see

@@MrGflan if PBS was more patient , they could have included the Taliban sweeping Afghanistan and the US NATO withdrawl as the REAL ending to this documentary and not Jan.6

Yeah, I think most of it is, I think that the "De@th by the thousand cuts" tactic has worked, and it will get worse, especially with the Russian-Ukrainian thing and the USA giving billions of $ worth of help to Ukraine, this will create debt for sure and they're creating something, like, a trillion $ of debt(?), in just a few weeks. Plus, I watched the videos of how rampant homelessness in major states has become (there is a Thai KZfaqr filming areas in San Francisco where there are LOTS of homeless people, this is not as common a few decades ago.). So yeah I think my innocent image about the USA being a beacon of hope and liberty, for the most part, is irrecoverably gone.

I agree. I feel like I never really processed the event until recently. We’ve definitely been on a downward spiral since then and we’re certainly not honoring the lives we lost that day and all those who served since. And quite frankly we still don’t know how it came about. There are still looming questions. If we don’t understand that with honest reflection we‘ll never be able to move on. It’s like we’ve been in a state of arrested development.

I think some of it was a result of 9/11, but a great deal more of it is, in my opinion, is due to a combination of convenience, lack of discipline, lack of adequate parenting and role model guidance, blatant, amoral, unapologetic greed that has been all but encouraged and the capitulation of the government to the screaming of special interest groups who have a desperate need for fulfilment of their own sense of entitlement and the wearing of labels but feel no need to work and earn like the rest of society. Make no mistake, America is a society on its steep slope of civilizational decline.

Usa has been murdering and torturing innocent people overseas and murdering torturing people at home from day, That caused 911. You didnt see it till 911 and you still dont see it fully. That you can know you nuked entire cities full of children in japan, what the usa did to vietnam over lies. The poverty rate , the child abuse . Feel sorry for yourselfes and call yourselves good people .Usa is evil and americans just ignore it, Thieves in a country build on lies and murder. Liars calling themselves christians as they step over homeless children on their way to starbucks . Usa is attacking 20 countries in africa for decades. Do you even KNOW THAT?

No matter what, we as veterans lived through history and experienced the aftermath. Just like Vietnam vets it wasn’t a great outcome but that’s life.

Powerful

When we live in the present, we believe all morals and ethics have been resolved and we know what is right. One fact from history is the rise and fall of great powers with good intentions and intelligent people, all the way back to the beginning of cultures. It's ignorant to believe we have the best country and previous civilizations absorbed the destruction of trial/error. We are not seen as great nor terrible in the eyes of a majority of industrialized countries. We are just another country that now has more history than just 1. the freeing of slaves 2. Both world wars objectively successful. 3. Place to seek ultimate freedom. 4. The most advanced technologically... We still have those traits mostly, but so do LargeMadeUp% of countries. Finally our newer country has a long enough history and permanent school record as mistakes over decades add up and never go away.

yep and that's not even the worst of it all

It feels weird thinking the world used to be fun and not having bad news literally every hour

Honestly, as someone who was 11 when it happened, it's hard to remember when it wasn't a part of daily life.

Me too. I was born 7 months after the attacks. Every September I watch videos about it and try to find videos talking about Pre-9/11 , however I haven’t found anything, it’s as if people completely forgot and what that felt like and changed. But for some reason, though I can’t understand 9/11, like I can’t imagine what that must’ve been like, I can for some reason understand the pre and the post 9/11 era. Idk it’s weird. It’s weird to see how people still used to get along in the 80s, ( though that’s exactly when America began to change and divide) Now however kindness is so rare and selfishness and rudeness has become normalized, and those of us who are Gen Z are making things worse.

@@maria-melek I have a huge amount of love for people younger than me who can articulate the pre9/11 life that they are curious about. I was 11 years old in my 6th grade language arts class when me and my friends and teacher watched all that death on LIVE TV. I am now 32 and I still find myself trying to find the words to explain how life changed aside from the war and politics. I was young but old enough to comprehend culture and economics at the time. Try to find MTV shows from the late 90s and the year 2000. America was so freaking COOL and fun and confident. I am a black dude who grew up in the Dixie south and I'm telling you that 90s America was soo DOPE! I get so angry because 9/1 was literally our 2nd month in middleschool and I feel like so Much was stolen from us kids of the 90s.. we weren't old enough to be heard like the high schoolers, and we weren't young enough to be coddled like the elementary kids. Most people from that age group are empathy. We FELT what was going on. We felt how our parents became more stressed in the years after 2001. We graduated high-school during the recession caused by the war. Before 9/11 we went to pizza hut and BLOCKBUSTERS VIDEO every Friday. Music was so cool that even us black kids loved NSYNC Hanson, and stuff like that. There was no PC culture. Beavis and butthead, south park, wwf, and nickelodeon was our life as far as TV goes. After 9/11 all we heard was "terror alert level orange, and the taliban and the economy. ALL THE SNACKS CHANGED!! as anyone from the 90s how DELICIOUS sprite and honeybuns used to be before they switched to high fructose corn syrup. U younger people only know Surveillance cameras watching us everywhere. Yall sadly will never know about life BEFORE our parents let President Bush sign "The patriot act" which made it legal for the invasion of privacy we all experience today. There was no wifi and smartphones in 2001. Yall please just think about how much technology they began shoving at us after 9/11. Like they wanna keep our heads down or something

Polarization and Allienation: I’m sure when an issue arises we will all unite and beat it down like it always has. But this fighting usually happens in America, it just hasn’t been broadcasted and is due in part because of what’s wrong with the current global problems of all. If you want examples: No Priorities or anything to work towards, no increased socialization and so polarization, no home bloody industry, and worse of all, the internet has made us mote depressed, impatient/ dopamine filled, and disconnected from our fellow man. Forgot to mention over population problems but they will all slowly culminate into molding us into something after this whole ordeal. Take for example this pandemic, new political systems, then a culture that will put us on track and usual historic conflict that humanity will always have. I just hope 1 day we can calm down from this global disorder and come back to a peace like previous again.

Even common sense is politicized now.

Hear hear!! I’m so sick of even the smallest things being politicized. That’s where we are today, unfortunately.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The real mismanaging was on the part of the AMERICAN PEOPLE. Of course that's just my humble opinion. I don't know what our gov coulda done more than they did to "help" us. At first, cops were breaking down doors of parties. Stopping gatherings in parks and all that. And then? George Floyd! And then? Protests. All over the WORLD! There was literally no way for the authorities to actually put a lid on all these gatherings. Also. We just haaaaaad to party! Spring break trips as if there may be some mistake or mixup as far as the severity and communicability of the virus. We dropped the ball ourselves. Good thing it's not as deadly as ebola was all those years back. Whole country would be a shell of its former self in less than a year in that situation. There were two main components to "winning" this viral war. Advice. And action. Gov gives us proper advice. We take the advice and push on. They did their job(kinda). We? Nothing.

PBS Frontline already has documentaries out covering that.

Well he positioned himself as one. Not all Americans at the time would’ve known about his vote, nor looked it up.

But the worst war monger of them all has been Trump.

@@meekos699 And therein is the problem. People voting for candidates without knowing where those candidates stand on the issues. As for your comment about Trump, I will respectfully disagree. Trump did not get the US involved in any new wars and he pulled American troops out of Syria.

And no, I'm not a Trump supporter!

Lol at Bilary. Was that on purpose?

@@justrubio3121 I must confess that it was!!!

Sept 12th Bush was the most popular president in history. He should have been arrested. That same day he allowed 2 planeloads of Saudi Arabians to flee America forever without so much as one question from the FBI. That's the day America fell. Look at it now.... And it was Bush's fault.

Yes this is slightly unrelated, but after the 1995 OKC bombing, my dad said that everyone was depressed, the streets were quiet and empty, and everybody, and I mean everybody, helped each other, no matter what race they were, where they came from, or any flaw that they had. Also, you are correct. 9/11 defined the cultural difference between the 90s and the 00s, and it probably made the mood drop all over the world. C19 is not helping.

it was a time i remember i lived it . even tho the muslim or anyone with turbans caught the brunt but americans did get along

Wrong, Americans came together to hate on Muslims and Americans whose families hailed from the middle east. It was a pathetic, pathetic, display of nationalism, tribalism, and a repeat of how we treated Japanese after Pearl Harbor.

I was two when 9/11 happened. I never had that. It’s why I believe my gen, gen Z, is the way we are.

Ignorance is bliss *Wisdom is solemn(&)grim*

I was 24 on 9/11. The period between the Berlin Wall coming down/Soviet Union dissolving and 9/11 were not perfect but likely the best years me and a lot of people my age will ever know.

I wasn't around for 9/11, but my school forced all of us to watch videos of it and do a whole lesson on it during the second week of September. I was barely 7 years old when my school showed me videos of the planes crashing and people jumping to "educate" me on our nation's history. We were traumatized, not only because we were forced to watch this and learn about it, but because Sandy Hook happened later that year in December 2012. And now I've lived through 2016, 2017, 2020, and 2021.. I think my childhood innocence d!ed a long time ago but whatever remained of it was absolutely demolished by January 6th, 2021.

I was two at that time (a 99'born). I didn't really know what 9/11 was until my history teacher told me about it. After watching this documentary I think that any hate, whether it's racial, political, or something else, really began after 9/11 and got worse as the years went by. Right now there are cases of stabbing simply because of being convinced that they might be spies in disguise carried out to do t3rror1st attacks. That was shocking and sad, but given the history of this it is inevitable.

Yup. The terrorists won

The audio of Congress singing "God Bless America" over the terrorist attack on the Capitol on January 6 just got me. Shivers.

Agree. Michael Kirk at Frontline is fabricating a common thread to make his derisive narrative seem insightful.

🙄

I think what they’re trying to say is that with the funding of two useless wars and 2 trillion dollars down the drain led the common folk to suffer. Which in the end divided America with such polarity that a coup was attempted. Same narrative of 1930’s Germany

I was wondering the same thing.

The whole point was that everything has changed in the 20 years in between. Congress singing "God Bless America" on the Capitol steps in unison 2001 vs. an insurrection in 2021 on those same steps is meant to demonstrate that juxtaposition.

Did they get any? Tks.

Same. There was so much potential in the air at the time. Adulthood was going to kick ass. Nobody had any idea of the rocky road ahead when the sun came up on the following morning.

Narrator is voice on "Ironman"🤔

I'm a 60's senior. And u are a breath of fresh air! I wished ppl MY age had your maturity.

@@riceburner4747 haha thank you for your kind words! 😊 definitely made my day!

911 was an inside job

9/11 was done by bush, cheney and rumsfeld, along with saudi and israel, to promote instability around the world, most specifically the Middle East

@@Augfordpdoggie exactly!

Right it’s beyond just being divided and not getting along this path is dangerous that’s probably why a lot of people are mad because they see it and some people rich people want to keep us on this effed up path all for their personal wealth and personal power that’s it zero to do with the well being of the country in fact they would see the country burn if they could rule over the ashes. No joke just about serious with that last one it’s so phony the whole thing then they wonder why the average joes are acting crazy it’s like a crazy kid at school usually they learn that behavior at home

60 minutes Australia does a great job as well

@@edwardcunha1629 60 minutes has their own narratives and see one sides point of views.

@@lissa4798 fox and all right wing media are incapable of seeing both sides of anything. Fair and balanced my ass.

@@edwardcunha1629 But, have you noticed, they NEVER allow comments. Comments are disabled on every one of their videos.

@@randibgood yes due to the trumper q-nutz crowd

Yes! Mi padre was even a soldier during the war, and I still did not know. I didn’t even know who was president until 3rd grade 🫣

Yeah you got it: like ham and cheese…they’re on a roll‼️

"More Koolaid Please Massa..."

I feel like they sold out on this one. Frontline /Taliban spokesman

@@Joe-kx7bl really you are off base

right wing groups just used cancel culture to stop a PBS documentary about chinese poverty alleviation programs that lifted 800 million out of poverty

@@texajp1946 CGTN is funded by Chinese Communist Party's state media, which is notoriously unreliable data/metrics to keep CCP in power. You don't have to support an authoritarian regime without transparent elections just to smite a political enemy.

Ed M you are brainwashed by anti China propaganda, right wingers won’t even let you see a documentary about lifting 800 million out of poverty, also the documentary is made by code pink, CGTN just helped with access

Ed M CPC is way better than corrupt usa government

@@texajp1946 Damn you really did work your way through this entire comment section saying the SAME FKNG THING over and over. If you hate America so much, you can always move to a socialist that you advocating for. All socialists countries, are falling apart. It doesn't work. People are literally dying to get out of those countries, to come here.

Absolutely, because traditional media sold the wars and all the other interventions.

Yes, I completely agree. Beautifully articulated!

@@determinesee Yea I'm about to watch it.

And 90% of Obamas missiles missed the intended target 🤦‍♂️ even I got better aim then that

@@heisenberg3415 sources?

So you just want to watch the world burn?

@@strawberryteapot7442 I'm just expressing how shocked I am at how evil happens in the world.

Its how the US was founded. A bunch of rich slave owners convinced poor people to fight against an empire so they can create their own aristocracy. It worked.

@@vingram100 you are right

They had their stories to tell. You tell yours

Why should we be ashamed of ourselves? Why do you act like you speak for all Americans. I live in the greatest country on this planet. I’ve spent my late teens and 20’s serving my country in the United States Marine Corp. Keep your shame, I love my country.

You have to tell your granddaughter all of it, the good and bad, and hope that her generation can do better.

@@Willie5000 Great response and very true.

By the time your granddaughter is grown. America will either be a dictatorship or some other society will rise in America's place. Would be interesting to see what new country would rise here in North America.
