I miss the Jon Stewart with integrity, you know, the man that wasnt afraid to criticise both sides, that talked sense, how many grains of gold to shut you up does it take? RIP. His staff is excessively woak which means they are ok with insulting people, being unprofessional, and they are warping Jon's common sense.

@@EricBarthDev Gosh I couldn’t disagree more. Jon Stewart has a completely different style of programming with his podcasts, compared to satirical, comedy current affairs programme. I see the same display of intrinsic understanding of issues, the same empathy for in need or being undermined by those who care little for anyone but themselves, and the same passion for maintaining democracy and fairness for all. Thankfully, I also see the same blatant criticism and true exposure of those who are so deserving. Does it still get a little caustic? Yes, with the ridicule and humour that targets in such a way that appropriate attention will be highlighted where change is necessary. Yeah, I am a fan. Perhaps those in need of criticism and ridiculing exposure are on a larger platform on the stage of Donald Trumpty Dumpty’s coat tails, causing Jon Stewart’s commentary to seem more one sided - less balanced. He still tells it from all perspectives because his discussions on topic, and interviews with guests, are thorough. Personally, the distortion of peoples’ empathy and conscious activism to counteract fascistic power schemes, into the description of “woak ” as a negative perspective is one sided and seemingly supportive of those outspoken numbers who LOVE free speech, provided it is in agreement with their perspective only. I hope the term “woak” soon disappears so people revert to accurate expressions of what they feel.

​@@EricBarthDev Lmao, no. It seems you got warped between the "good ol days" and today.

​@@EricBarthDev I don't think you've been in a writers room before. Also, this is his staff..HIS staff, it's people he chose to have around him not some network shill telling Jon to not be risky or pull pumches

@@EricBarthDevdefine “woak” or woke, if that’s what you meant. Woke is defined as being aware of injustice or being open to admitting something is unjust. There are degrees, as there is with anything, as to what any given person sees as injustice. The idea is really “I’ll help you try to end the injustice that hurts you, and someone will hopefully help me if/when I’m ever being unfairly treated.” Woke is the opposite of indifference. It is anti-selfish. You don’t have to agree that a particular injustice needs to be fought right away, or at all, but you have to put yourself in someone’s place and admit that what is happening to them isn’t fair. Think about it like this…if laws are made that anyone having your hair color can’t get married, get a good job, join the military, get into a good school, get credit, or buy a house…you can dye your hair. But what if you couldn’t? And worse, What if everyone around you just didn’t care that the laws weren’t fair, and you just were stuck with your hair color and the discrimination that it brought? Wouldn’t you get angry? Wouldn’t you do whatever you could to wake people up to how unfair the laws were? If you can’t change your hair color you need to change the laws, and you need help for that. You need people to be aware of the problem. You need them to be “woke”.

The left does that too, the left loses a lot of numbers due to intellectual laziness that causes an inability to maintain dialog. That's why Paolo Freire said neither left nor right could be radical at the opening of Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Education can be used to indoctrinate or be used to promote freedom.

Exactly.

Excellent! I'm always amazed how the uneducated - and even many college education - do not understand the purpose of an education. They think of it like a vocation-technical training. And maybe it is given how many do it solely because their paycheck will be larger. But if you are doing it right your major does not matter, in some cases not at all. (STEM with its long train of cumulative knowledge is obviously different. And yet even there I know a history major who got an MD and a math major who got a PhD in Biology.)

@@David-iv6je In the USA, a college degree can cost close to the price of a modest home, and take 30+ years to pay off. Most of us here have to view a degree as a highly expensive ticket to the middle class.☹️

@@David-iv6je Your comment about a math major who got a PhD in biology - Both math and biology are STEM fields. It seems perfectly logical for a math major to have an interest in another science field - quite often people have split degrees in different fields.

If you think this is informative then you are brainwashed.

Nato Nazi cretin

Progressives and communistis killed Ukrainians and russians for being rural and white, in a lunatic attempt to end racism, and this ties into the current war between gog and magog. This is openly called for in 19th century left wing literature and also in the bible. "Villain" is an ethnic slur for rural white people. Russians arent mental, you are

​@@Dogrunningwild Too big for your head? Its OK.

hope is a noun

Mr. Stewart, they will take down this ship unless persons such as yourself can get into the immediate political discussions. You're not crazy enough to take on this responsibility directly, but how about spearheading a coalition of like minded, rational people who can invade and take over the Democratic Party?

Sorry - I'm hot sure if that's supposed to be a joke or you are taking a cliched aphorism literally. Either way it's a chance for me to get all pedantic up in here 😁. History repeating itself could also be about natural events like salmon returning to where they were born or disasters like active volcanoes or earthquakes that happen over and over again with the passing of time. But human history, ancient and modern, is the record of what some person or people did in the distant or recent past. So when someone says "history is repeating itself" they are saying that the modern historical action(s) or event(s) is/are a repetition, or at least similar to, the past historical action(s) or event(s). So you aren't wrong, but it's just easier to say the thing about history repeating itself - or rhyming.

Why don't all of you repeat a good piece of history and watch the 1942 USDA video *Hemp for Victory* and grow weed to fight against fascism again?

Jon! The thing that the establishment in failed democracies do not see is that all of this anger and angst exists for a reason. That reason is we are not a representative democracy. We are a Tweedist Plutocracy - corporate, special interests and elites control elections through money. They own the process by which candidtates are presented for election. The representatives are bought and sold. The public is sold the illusion of choice but that veil has been lifted for a long time now. People understand that they are tied over a barrel and both sides take turns screwing them. The feeling that there is no escape, that there is no way for the system to correct, is what drives the anger and the willingness to follow demagogues - because we really do live under the thumb of an elite that makes the rules and suppresses the masses. I know you are aware of it. I don't have to lay out the case - you've seen the Princeton study showing the public has no effect on laws passed while elites get everything they want. There doesn't have to be a secret cabal - the system warps itself driven by self interested people who use the rules to gain power for themselves. So rail against the Plutocracy and the fact that we don't live in a representative democracy. Rail against the fact that if this not corrected the public will raise up someone willing to burn it all down. That is the root of the rot - not Trump or Stone or any of the other maggiots that feed off the suffering. Address the suffering itself - the average person knows he will be a slave excahnging labor just to live another day to work. Most people have no path to a better life for their children. Everyone sees the obscene level of wealth and self dealing in government and elite circles. That deserves to be burned down. But predators will harness that power and make it worse. Someone has to harness that power to make it better.

Very correct Lloyd; the bear market has contributed significantly to the growth of my investment. I was able to quickly increase my portfolio from $180K to $572K. Essentially, I was just doing as my financial advisor instructed. You're good to go as long as you get competent assistance.

I used to think, when given a choice, I'd rather laugh than cry ... increasingly I find it healthier to do both. Humanity and the reality of being conscious during this geologic blink of an eye is both AWESOME and tragically terrifying... enough to make you laugh until you cry (or vice versa?) B-)

"... it's the normal desire of people in power to keep power." There have been some powerful exceptions. George Washington is my favorite President because he did nothing and he did it twice. After the Revolution he was offered virtual kingship, and he refused. When the original confederacy failed and a stronger central government was needed, the Constitution was created. Washington was chosen as President because EVERYONE trusted him. And after 2 terms, he refused power again. I know of only two others in history. Cincinnatus of Rome, and Nelson Mandela. No doubt there are others ... I hope so.

@@veramae4098 The late pope that died was the 1st one to retire.

In difficult times people tend to look up to the one who promises simple solutions to very complex issues.

I wonder if said young fella has ever been to Orbán’s Hungary (my guess is that he hasn’t). It’s quite the thing to hear this stuff coming from people from the West of Ireland (my home region), given that only a century ago, the Black and Tans were wandering round razing local businesses and terrorizing people. Or that less than 200 years ago, people there had no rights to their own land, many starving to death. One would have hoped that this historical memory would naturally instil empathy and understanding of other people’s troubles, but alas it’s not always the case.

I thought about Niall Ferguson's book "the square and the tower". It's exactly about how printing, radio and internet collapsed traditional authority and empowered the mob.

But at the same time the decentralizing of information gives us the means to challenge the authority of power- the “tower”.

Something my Mom taught me when I was young listening in on the way to school. Got to understand the other perspective and what's driving it to help change it.

Agree, they both see problem clearly.

Our Bill of Rights is based on the laws of Cyrus the Great of Persia, but he doesn't get mentioned either and he was Thomas Jefferson's historical hero... Lots of people make up history and lots will be forgotten, but as long as some of us remember and it is written down, it isn't truly lost, and someday these facts and peoples will be remembered yet again. And forgotten again. And re-remembered. Sometimes misinterpreted. Over-acredited as well as under appreciated, but never truly lost forever.

In the Federalist Papers they also talked about the successes and failures of the Dutch republic

It was the Iroquois nation that formed a confederation with surrounding tribes that utilized diplomacy and cooperation the end conflicts. Benjamin Franklin studied their confederation and sought to implement the Iriquois model into the Articles of Confederation that provided the scaffolding for the union of separate states under the auspices of a Federal Government. How tragic that the Europeans who built this Government did not continue to consult the wisdom of the native peoples, who lived side by side in peaceful respect, for the common good of its citizens and the land itself. Greed was a foreign concept.

@@JeepCherokeefulJon criticises and talks about china all the time, perhaps not in this video but definitely in many others

I've asked this question for the last 50 years your comment is on point

I would love for Jon to explore this as well. The only thing I can think of is the expansion of unions to the point that the public can hold general strikes to make demands that restore democracy.

@@bluesun1291 I fully agree with your comment . I have many decussions with people about returning to the days of united we stand divided we fall as a country. Without a balance between capitalism and the social fabric global living standards for the majority of people don't exist sadly.

Some of my thoughts: First, we need to understand that autocracy isn't the root of a problem, but a symptom. It persists, because people think it provides value to society and their personal interests. And while autocracy is thus maintained, it's making its best to cultivate a population that wants it. One of the main cultivation strategies is controlling people's world views. Schools, media, religious institutions, and so on. The crucial element is hope. If you can believe in a brighter future, you're already resistant to the "solutions" autocrats are selling. But I can't stress this enough: I don't mean a brighter future that will just happen, but one that takes a lot of work and personal sacrifice, because our entire paradigm is built for cynicism and selfishness. It's a world-view cultivated with billions of dollars in advertisement, lobbying, corruption, and so on. Creature comforts are a drug to keep us docile. The road to a brighter future might sound dismal, but the alternative is more so: The belief that the cost of our well-being does not matter. That the people who work themselves to death for pennies so that we can have our iPhones and Playstations don't matter. That the environment doesn't matter. That is how people get tempted by xenophobic rhetoric, and sucked into fascism. It's a complicated issue, but it starts with the simplest factor: You. Join a union or start one. Don't become complacent. Get active in local communities. Be a voice for hope. We need to stand united, and we mustn't allow ourselves to succumb to despair.

These people arent liberals, they are leftists like you.

@@Andrew-fy9wu Wait. You think Applebaum is a leftist? Wow. An ex fellow at the American Enterprise Institute is actually a closet leftist. I gotcha. To you leftist is someone you violently disagree with, liberal means someone you vehemently disagree with, and so let me guess.. You think someone who is illiberal is someone you probably agree with?

@@SwarmerBees Liberals dont talk the nonsense she does. Like you, she talks nonsense.

@@Andrew-fy9wu I understand. It's how the pamphleteers used language as how Father Coughlin did with radio. It's mostly birdsong for distinguishing one tribe from another. Simplified compression of terms into binary sets of categories where the concept of Reagan championing liberal democracy is unintelligible because he was not a liberal. But what is interesting in a multicultural society is that language used as birdsong is not unique to tribes like those following Orban, Putin, or Trump. The advantage of those groups on the "autocratic/ nationalistic" end of the spectrum is that they can leverage the ingrained hominid behavior pattern of dominance hierarchies- eg. the alpha male led pecking orders of great apes. This pattern generally doesn't work with "big tent" multicultural coalitions each with their own unique birdsong.

@@SwarmerBees As I said leftists talk nonsense. Thanks for confirming it.
