@goodthinking thinking Trump is just a single plutocrat, and not a very wealthy or savvy one at that. Not to say he's not dangerous in his way, but this is a systemic problem, not a problem of specific individuals like Trump. The only way to prevent Trumps is socialism.

Prof. Wolff delivers an excellent presentation, perhaps his best, pulling it all together. I wish everyone would watch and listen to him carefully. These are disturbing times, to say the least. This lecture explains why things are falling apart and points a way out towards a system based upon humanity and care and away from greed, corruption, and war.

I don't know why you're not on every network, but I also know why you're not on every network. I've watched most of your stuff. This is among the best videos I've seen. You're laying out things in a way that makes sense of things realistically. On that lex guy's show people said you were being dramatic, but in reality your show is 50 times more informative than a network program and as many times less dramatic I don't know what your numbers say but I think your words and views are catching on. When my friends talk about how they feel about things I usually end up referencing a video you've made. It's rough out here man, people are cracking up and breaking down. They personalize their hardship as personal failures and I keep telling them to check your channel out I even wrote to the McKenzie Bezos foundation or whatever about getting money for a community garden together. Something to provide aid to the community. Something to give a few jobs that provide a decent living and do work that makes a difference in the lives of those around them. A place with no means tests. A place for the community to connect with one another. Lol, if I hit the lottery that's what I'm doing with the money because they wrote me back saying the email I used was for people who wanted to give money

This talk was ON FIRE! You encapsulate the contemporaneous circumstances with the long road of history in a connective way that strips away the veils and pushes away the fog to reveal the facts of the situation and why things are as they are. This heading towards destruction isn't by accident - it is a purposeful endeavor in which those making it occur seem to have no care in an insanely preposterous lack of self-awareness and self-preservation. And anything to maintain power and lucre over the mass of workers in so doing.

@PetaloudesTouYialou Жыл бұрын

Indeed. I watch around me (here in UK) as people mindlessly flag-wave. This war is undoubtedly a crime against Ukrainians, but it's not without context. Wolff also explains how the political rhetoric as represented on media is quite different to the reality, and he reminds us that media skews our view on Ukraine, magnifies it, and omits the fact that most of the world either is nonchalant about it or are in economic partnership with Russia anyway. It's that neologism: "Don't worry - what happens mostly happens without you." We need to get a grip!🤣

Professor Wolf's oratory is contagious, and those not "politically aligned" with him have no choice but to listen in awe to what he has to say. The current economic system with its serious systemic flaws has no escape from his well-documented diatribe as he illustrates them from the beginning to the end of his thesis. The "splittings" and the "distractions" are laid out in clear, everyday language for everyone to see.

@dinnerwithfranklin2451 Жыл бұрын

@@LeeeerrrroooyJennnnnkins I have to say that I agree, in that I enjoy the longer segments. One explanation may be that the targets of the shorter pieces are are being introduced to these ideas for the first time in many cases and it could get overwhelming for them. Seeing as it is counter to the narrative we've been consuming our entire lives. I'm reminded of a video I watched recently. It was by an American living in Asia and he was explaining some positive actions by the CPC and I was physically uncomfortable. The only thing I can credit that to is that it ran counter to the propaganda I've seen my entire life. I noticed the discomfort and finished the video then thought about it but realized that this is perhaps one of the hurdles that the Professor has to overcome with newer viewers. Sorry I rambled.
