  1. Dear God, I hope not.

  2. Do you actually think motst people give a shit beyond surface level virtue signaling?

  3. Sounds like a self fulfilling prophecy.

  4. You guys are unhinged. In a video about all deaths in all wars and all conflicts in the world, you throw a fit because your favourite genocide is not getting the attention you think it deserves at all times. Log off. Get out. Touch grass. Volunteer in your community and stop being annoying. You have not, and never will, save a single Palestinian life.

  5. It is a war. Are you denying it is a war? In Sudan and Ethiopia, there were also ethnic cleansing and genocides. Kurzgesagt still called them civil wars, because it is correct. And you can have genocide without a war. China is very good at that I have heard.

  6. Everyone wants that. The problem is the money is just given to them, be it via foreign aid or an over abundance of natural resources.

  7. 50MT Revolutionary In contrast to a certain other system which dictates how you live and what you can own, I would not call capitalism oppressive.

  8. Because not everything is about Palesting+Israel and not everyone cares about them. Ukraine is far more relevant to European security than some ethno-religious war in the so-called "Holy Land", and last I checked Kurzgesagt was European. Holy shit. I am getting really tired of all this "BUT WHAT ABOUT PALESTIIIIIIIINEEEE???" screeching under every video about conflicts.

  10. There was a rewind?

  11. "Why is the younger generation so depressed" because they constantly get told how shit the world they are living in is by insane Activists and political grifters.

  12. The huge assumption to kill all huge assumptions. The reason why nobody takes the islands of the Sentinelese tribes is that nobody has any reason to do so. If this changes, then RIP the Sentinelese tribes.

  13. 1% of what. The world? Cause congratulations. If you are from Europe or NA, you are part of the 1%.

  14. Who is them and who is we? You have to be careful. This war you speak of might be a war between Chinese-Mars and a nation of the planet Xirbldow, which might not even be the species's home world. And the war might not be a war of extermination, but dominance, with the end result being Chinese-Mars agreeing to unfair contracts with Xirbldow.

  15. Money is fucking great dude. There is a reason why literally every culture that did long distance and large scale trading used it.

  16. MrGoodcat Yes it is. Capitalist countries are the wealthiest in the world.

  17. The quality of the videos has been constant since they started out. They aren't going downhill. You are probably just ideologically captured.

  18.  @yaoitiddieexpert1486  The two nukes were not Genocide. Please dont downplay that word.

  19. Yes. We should put high tarrifs on chinese products.

  20. "We"?

  21. Which comments? All I see is comments complaining and being salty that their favourite war is not in the spotlight again.

  22. Adam Davies Good to know Youtube and Google were created by the goverment.

  23. Colonize me daddy!

  24. One thing I always have to think about is this: If all these tensions are artificial and stoked by the colonial powers, why are they still here? Why have they not been resolved? Why do groups still kill each other over grievances that are not real? One answer to this question: Those grievances are real, and the colonial powers just saw them and exploited them. Then the new state organisations and modern weapons allowed these groups to do actual damage to each other.

  25. Poor countries remain poor because (but not only): A repressive goverment lives on selling raw natural resources to other countries and not on taxes (no reason to keep your economy running) A repressive goverment lives on foreign aid and not on taxes (no reason to keep your economy running)

  28.  @arturintete2461  "capitalism destroyed the envirometn" False. large scale industry is destroying the enviroment, and large scale industry exists in modern countries, be they capitalist or not.

  29.  @arturintete2461  What? Are you seriously suggesting socialist countries like the Soviet fucking Union or east germany did not have heavy industries wich fucked up the enviroment harder than their free market counterparts?

  30. Yes. Especially when german politicians open their mouths.

  33.  @CannaFemFatale  Israel's foreign policy of the last 60 years has been to tolerate neighbours if they don't threaten them. As long as you don't support militias like Hamas or Hezbollah or pour weapons towards the border, Israel won't do anything to you. You may not be friends, but you are not enemies either. There are only two countries that understand this: Egypt and Jordan. And Israel has not been at war with them or shot rockets at them for a long time. Israel does not trust the Syrian rebels, so they preemptively take over strategic positions and destroy the weapons and bases of Assad's former army, which are not unattended.

  34. Why spend money on NASA when the private sector are starting conquer space?

  35. wadss If you give people money just because, why would they inovante or work on anything?

  36.  @jonharness5314  The thing with the cloaked stations is that there has to be some kind of new physics involved, because cloaking in space is pretty much a fantasy.

  37.  @MR-dc4od  "And that's not even considering the vastness of cosmic timescales and how any civilization we meet is probably beyond our comprehension in tech or still using stone tools, and very unlikely to be anywhere within thousands of years of our tech level." Or even exist anymore for that matter. It could be gone or broken into many small pieces by the time we learn of it.

  38.  @jonharness5314  The problem is that you need to be indestinguishable from cosmic background radioation. If you are a black body, absolutely absorbing everything, then you would still be visible as a negaive compared to the enviroment, and if we take into account that we are speculating about tech beyond our grasp, it is not unreasonable to assume that a high tech civilization does have ways of detecting these things. Unless you go completely invisible, but then you cannot interact with anything and light up like a light bulb whenever you fire the space equivalent onf an ICBM.

  41. It takes one crazy alien who wants to be on TV for once to mess that all up.

  42. I can relate. Climate activists in my country have nothing better to do than protest every new power plant under the sun. It does not matter how efficient it is, how friendly to the enviroment or how modern it is. They will try to stop anything that is not solar or wind. And if a new wind park is planned, the residents try to protest against it. Now the electricity bills in my country are the highest in the region and we have to buy power from our neighbors. They also hate nuclear. It makes it really hard for me to take them or any other green movement seriously, since it appears that most of them think electicity grows on trees.

  43. I find the idea that a civilization that has colonized large areas of space to be able to remain silent to be such a huge assumption and reach that it might be impossible to exist. Let's imagine a species with hundreds of billions of members in a region of space. Let us also assume that the species is not a true hive mind since those do not exist on earth really. Instead, it is made up of individuals with their own desires and thoughts. Then the following things are probably true: 1) This space civilization might not be one civilization at all but many. One Nation might not even completely control its native solar system. These nations probably have wildly different morals and ideologies. If one of those decides to tell the universe where their international enemies are or that they exist themselves because one hippy alien is their leader, then silence is broken, and there is no guarantee that this will not happen again. 2) With billions of individuals, the probability of a group of them deciding at random to send alien memes with their GPS location into space for other aliens to see, is almost 100%. There might be a religion with 99 billion members that tells them to keep their race hidden, but then we have 1 billion who do not belong to that religion, and even if 900 million of those think that staying silent is smart, you have a pool of 100 million aliens who don't think so. And then is just the randomness present. Humans do random stuff all the time. Let's not assume Aliens don't do the same. This is also why I do not buy the "The aliens are just collectively deciding not to contact us" idea. Because let's be real, one might do exactly that just out of spite or for any other reason. I also don't agree with the idea that the aliens are just waiting for us to reach a point of mental enlightenment. Enlightenment is not passed down every generation. It has to be taught over and over again and humanity has failed in that regard repeatedly. Most humans on earth are not enlightened or smarter than their ancestors 200 years ago, so why assume the aliens are? Unless they genetically engineered themselves to be smarter, but then 1) and 2) apply again. One alien species is probably not a monolith.

  44. This would get political really fast.

  45. Does not help that many ideologues see climate change as a chance to "overthrow the system" and replace it with their own twisted view of what a "fair" society is.

  47.  @saintfrac5360  Why do space battles if you can just nuke entire Planets with your Warp drive?

  48. Would it not be funny if Earth was saved from the star laser by coincidentally being at the right spot to be inside of destructive interference?

  49. What about Gluons?
