  1. No. It was 2001. In Slovenia.

  2. "I don't know what Trump would do." Nonsense. Lie. Shameful.

  3. @John Jones ; Yeah whatever, except it happened in 2001, not 2007, son. 🙄

  4. Parsing Trump's words as if they have any entropy at all. This is ridiculous.

  5. It's the 80s-90s all over again, except it's the Chinese athletes, instead of the (not banned enough!) Russian athletes.

  6. @John Jones : No. 20+ years.

  7. Should've mentioned something about the fact that many millions of MENA Muslims celebrated his assassination.

  8. Does that make this better somehow?

  9. Who's the audience for this video? Remedial waste of space. Clickbait, at best.

  10. Eleanor Rigby enters the conversation.

  11. Traitors don't vote against Trump.

  12.  @elizabethhenning778  : Let's start with the fact that this essay generalizes to the point of meaninglessness. (Reminds me of the hot takes on leaf blowers.) For example, 90%+ of the homes in my small city (pop. 30k) have lawns that are watered naturally and never treated with fertilizer or pesticides. My neighbors are, for the most part, morons. If they watched this, they would feel unseen and offended.

  13. Agreed. Of course. But, given the context of increased surveillance, how do you tease-out the ASD (or GAD or whatever) from the nocebo? This is a social issue. It will be resolved by social consensus that (hopefully) gathers around better science. On balance, this is a good video. A good message for the stream.

  14. Nope. This is not what the sociological data shows. Quite the contrary. The disadvantaged suffer more if you tax alcohol. It's seductive to think of alcohol like cigarettes, from a public health perspective. But the two are nearly as different as they are alike.

  15. 👍👍👍

  16.  @DisinterestedParty  : Eventually. Once they stand up and make themselves known, and meaningfully take responsibility for their cause and separate themselves from the barbarians. Words are cheap.

  17. So utterly and completely tone-deaf, you have to laugh to keep from crying.

  18. So?

  19. No mention of when it'll be released? 🙄

  20. He's no Andy Zaltzman.

  21. Just, as an essay, this is a good piece of persuasive rhetoric. Because its subtle thesis is not "I'm going to change your autocratic mind about multi-culturalism," but, rather, "The expansion of democracy is the fundamental premise that unites us against authoritarianism."

  22. Disingenuous fools, any remaining undecided voters.

  23. Surprised no mention of 24/7 loitering aerial surveillance. 🧐

  24.  @laneatkinson6441  : I mow my clover. It grows flowers, you know. And they get tall and I ugly

  25.  @laneatkinson6441  : No, yeah, I shouldn't call the flowers ugly. Each flower is lovely. If my yard was uniformly clover, and it all flowered at more-or-less the same time, I'd be in yard heaven. But, the dappled light of shade trees in an old zone 7 neighborhood that gets plenty of rain means my clover is patchy. Grass, crabgrass, clover. And moss. Quite a lot of square footage blanketed with moss. No chemicals. Except herbicide on the curb. Keep it neat and tidy. Looks great. 👍 And way better for our environment than whatever concrete monstrosity this snooty essay was likely written in. lol

  26. What a disgusting video. 👎

  28. I beg your pardon?

  29. The CCP is a threat to the free world, for sure. But this panda breeding "exposé" is dumb. Sorry.

  30. OR---now stick with me here---ignorant decadent misanthropy delimits the modern American ethos. Derp.

  31. "Discontent with the direction of the country?" HAHAHAHAHA! Americans are too stupid to hold coherent thoughts about politics. The evidence is right. in front. of. your face.

  36. There will come a time for that. Right now is not that time. Not for most people. Be patient.

  38.  @robingrewal8103  : Yeah. So what's his position on Russian imperialism, and why isn't he more widely and openly supported by actual Russians?

  39. I'm struggling to understand how this comment relates to the video. I mean, good for you? 🤷‍♂
