  1. Privatize the profits, socialize the risks....

  2. At 3:58 That rhetoric is comical. Imagine Nuremburg, 1946. Prosecution: "What did you do to 10,000,000 political opponents, Gypsies, Jews, and POWs?" Defense: "We didn't invent concentration camps."

  3. PragerU: "...but, but, but....he was a good Christian, and he was simply planting his Judeo-Christian values into heathens..."

  4. Why waste time on a 5 minute video? I can make a 3 second one. 1) one second intro 2) narrator says : OIL 3) one second captions and credits

  5. When slavery was abolished it was actually the slave owners who got compensated by the state, not the slaves who had been robbed of decades of their lives. Imagine that. Imagine the Allies liberating German slave lobor camps after D-Day, and then going: "These poor Nazis. It looks as if we'll have to compensate them now for their lost profits..." I guess "British sense of justice", lol.

  6. Gary Slovenskov That's just Americans bombing the shit out of places they can't even recognise on a map....

  7. I used to think they were a lobbyist group, now I know....

  8. A dollar in 1970 would have bought you a lot more than a dollar today.

  9. Glorious history? You mean 'cherry picked' glorious history don't you?
    43
  10. What's holding back the Arab world? Easy answer. Wars for oil, CIA covert operations, corporatism and corruption, regime change, outside meddling, "divide and rule" policies by foreign powers, wars of proxy...lemme see. Did I forget something?

  11. So a man who maybe existed, written about in a book of fairy tales, called an invisible dude who lives on a cloud "father", proving that the thing nobody had ever seen was a man.... Hmmmm....sounds a bit weird...

  12. There was no money elite defending "privileges" against the people. Now there is...
    32
  13. Simple answer: live according to own principles, without imposing these onto others. As long as common decency and common law is adhered to, no problem with any religion.

  14. Yeah, yeah. PragerU proganda channel in action again. Next week, show ALL about the citizens of Indonesia, China, India, or dozens of other countries where people don't believe in YOUR "god" constantly go around mass-murdering each other, looting, and plundering....

  15. Uhm..."Italy" doesn't go around occupying Austrian lands, doesn't annex Slovenian territory, doesn't call Geneva it's capital city "because it's "Italian you know" (without asking what the locals want for themselves), and doesn't steal (aka "confiscate") land in the French Alps to built fancy condominiums for Italians. I'd say "nice try", but I suggest you google "false equivalency"...

  16. From 3:00 minutes on wards. Everything explained here is not only true for governments, but everywhere power is centralized. When one is reduced, the other expands. The corruption doesn't stop, it just goes elsewhere.

  17. OK, for the last time "Social Democracy"....

  18.  Lord Cobra  I actually believe that (based on evidence) "Jesus the man" existed. The religious overtones are obviously added over time by hearsay, politics, exaggeration, and wish believe... To me, Jesus is simply one of the greatest historical philosophers...

  19. US advisor to Washington DC, Brzezinski: "What is more important in world history? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet Empire? Some agitated Muslims or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the Cold War?" So now you got the few "agitated Muslims" you sowed yourself 50 years ago- Status: "Reaping" as sown.
    22
  20. LOL The Vietnam War started in 1945, when the Vietnamese nation declared their independence from colonialism. Clearly, every American, who completely embraces the idea of "freedom" and "liberty", and fought for OWN freedom from British rule, MUST understand the basic urge of nations to be free.... Right?
    18
  21. NEXT WEEK: How the...ahem..."free world" created Hitler.... ...and the circle is complete.
    18
  22. How to police the world NYPD style? Sure, state brutality, state profiling, shoot before asking questions....and then blame the victims if everything goes wrong......
    17
  23. The Doctor LOL...even if they are paid to say something nice? ;-)
    16
  24. ROTFL Unless you were Native American people. Awww...well. I guess every mass murderer is also someone's hero...

  25. destroyuttobots Every Prager U video is an exercise in lying by omission.... https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Lying_by_omission It's not what they say, buddy. It's what they DONT say....

  26. Blackjack My message for the day :-) Yes, the USA is a great nation, with strengths and weaknesses like all other nations. Let's hope Trump does what he promised, and breaks the grip that dark side of The Force has on the nation, which rules America in the background, pulling the strings....the CIA interfering and meddling...the lobbying of the establishment for wars in shitholes where their business interests run... Instead, make America great, by improving the infrastructure, investing in the the education of the youth, and improve neighbouring relations. Oh, boy. In the words of Yoda: A tough uphill battle that 'dark side' is :-) If you are young, I wish you luck....

  27. Russia and China were not invited to the celebrations. The nations which kept at least 75% of the opposing forces occupied, at the cost of horrific losses (indirectly making D-Day a success), were snubbed, due to political reasoning. Makes you think, doesn't it?
    12
  28. Matthew Cioffi Nope. You certainly don't hear about any Jews wanting the Holy Land back after losing the Roman-Jewish War....ya know, Masada and all that... Uhm...wait a minute....didn't they get kicked out fair and square?
    12
  29. Let's make it moral... 1) Let's ask the inhabitants what they want, by way of referendum 2) Let's allow political parties to represent the views of the people 3) Let's make agreements with neighboring states 4) Let's ask the world (UN) to approve Nah. Screw all that...

  30. If you hated the 'democrats' of the 1960s, you actually hate Republican values. http://us-presidents.insidegov.com/stories/3613/republicans-democrats-switch-platform

  31. Siddharth Tripathi​​ The USA supported the French in Vietnam....who wanted to reintroduce their colonial dictatorship on the Vietnamese people. After 400 years of colonialism, the Vietnamese people wanted independence for themselves. Since no help for the cause of independence was forthcoming from the 'land of the free' (cough, cough), guess where they were going to turn to for support for their cause?

  32.  @chrisg3258  Chamberlain tried to avoid another continental European war. He knew for a fact that it would mean yet another war between Germany/France/Great Britain, and could only have ONE outcome....that those powers "waiting in the wings" so to speak, would benefit. Another European war would mean the end of the Empire, and that the USA and the SU would be the real "winners" of such a conflict. Fast forward to the Cold War. From unmistakable Nr 1 in 1900, the British Empire went to merely 'on par' with the USA after WW1, and down to 3rd fiddle after WW2. That's a fact.

  33. LOOOOOOOOOOOL....socialism, and then they show the communist symbol. Uhm, there are many different kinds of socialism....

  34.  @hvern0n  India has enough land to feed its own people. British rule forced/lured land owners to produce cash crops like tea and cotton, which was exported by the millions of tons. Wheat ships from Australia which were actually docked in Calcutta were forbidden to unload, because Churchill wanted to set up surplus food depots in Europe. When reports reached him of the famine, he merely asked whether Ghandi was already dead. Why? Google "Quit India Campaign". Churchill was a primitive animal, who gladly accepted millions of dead, to "punish" Indians for daring to ask for more self-rule.

  35. Yes. Crime is a socio-economic problem. People don't become "less criminal" when they become rich or are rich. They simply commit a different set of crimes. A billionaire doesn't do "drive-by shooting in turf wars", same as the local street thug doesn't imbezzle millions in tax fraud schemes. Both crimes being equally destructive to society, but only one usually gets a lot of air time....

  36. Every "-ism" not reigned in by rules, laws, and regulations, will morph into evil. That is simply human nature...

  37. LMAO....how can a priest stand there and lie through his teeth? A viable alternative? Sure, drop the Bomb on a military target, for example Yokohama in Tokyo Bay. What would a MORAL person have done? Drop it on a military target, for example the military HQ in Hiroshima. What did the IMMORAL political and military leaders decide? Kill 'enemy' women and kiddies, by aiming at a bridge in the city center....

  38. Bottom line is that is that there are millions of people competing for the same limited amount of jobs. That simply means there is an oversupply on the one side (labor) which will be exploited by those who provide the jobs, and whose premier interest is mostly profit, not charity. Of course, we need a minimum wage....

  39. So, according to this, 'back in the good ol' days' when schools and churches emphasized building the character of individuals, there was never any crime, lynching of blacks, 'Injuns' stuck into reservations, gangsters, land grabbing, rape....oh, boy...those lefties have really messed things up....

  40. You can exchange "slice off your genitals" with "make your boobs bigger", or "cover your chest with tattoos", or "cut bits of baby dicks off to appease invisible gods", or "do body building to get really big muscles", or "inject poison (Botox) under your skin to look younger", or "get hair implants", and the list goes on and on....

  41. Yes, because there is an alternative for the executive (government).

  42. Doesn't he know the difference between "Democratic Socialism" and established "Social Democracy", like most of Europe?

  43. Seb L. You mean like Malaysia or Indonesia? Or do you mean the lack of secularism?

  44. wendy lynn OK...so Native Americans are the true inhabitants of North America. So, since it was given to them by the gods they believed in at the time...make space, and move over, baby....

  45. "The goal of authoritarianism is dictatorship." Me :-)

  46.  @daniellehalo6923  That's your bias. Why dont you google about the millions of cases boob jobs have caused infections, people are unhappy with their tattoos and spending thousands on bleaching it out, etc. etc. Whatever one "believes" that cannot be proven. All religions are belief systems that derive their "happiness" in part from social structures. Religious people hang out together, sing, read their Bibles, whatever. That makes them happy...so be it. Transgender dont have this opportunity. If you treat them like an outcast, they literally will be.

  47. INDOCTRINATION?!??!??!!! IDEOLOGY?!!?!! I prefer reading my Bible, based on recognized facts and provable historical events...

  48. They always forget the causal reactions to their own aggression. Classic propaganda tactics for dumb fans....

  49. OK, so let's say a horde of Mexicans invade Texas, send 700,000 'muricans as refugees to Kansas, and make Texas their own. You know, historically seen it theirs anyway.... Then, they start making things better than before with the help of gazillions of Chinese aid. Surely ALL 'murican conservatives would be mega-pleased and full of admiration....

  50. Does God exist? 1 new argument. NOBODY KNOWS OR CAN PROVE IT.....
