  1. Given the choice I’d say about 30 ~ 40% of almost any given population, even the US, would chose a dictator to lead them and tell them what to do, say and think. They love to see others getting beaten down. The parallels to wrestling are not specious. Trump is one of the very few non-athletes inducted into the WWE wrestling Hall of Fame

  2. What a good insight, especially on the naïveté of some western ‘enablers’, like Elon Musk. What a world class fool, thinking he can appease a psychotic megalomaniac by just being nice to him. WOW! How naive indeed!

  3. How many US Americans die from the common flu every winter?

  4. Republicans are fighting for the very same system they claim to be fighting against; fascism.

  5. Russia is not a country, it’s a criminal organization, a mafia state. The dangerous psychopath will steal your wallet, and then call the police to report you stole his.

  6. You’re right, she’s a terrible looking woman. Shame on them

  7. If NATO took in Ukraine the west would risk pushing Russia into the arms of China, along with Pakistan.

  8. Why haven’t any governments done anything to help people defend themselves against this virus? It’s criminally negligent. For two years all I’ve heard is “be safe”. Not once have I heard someone ”be healthy”. We know this virus kills (besides older people) the sick, the fat and the weak. If you are healthy you probably won’t get sick. But if you’re a sickly person you’ll probably get sick. Why is this so hard for those with average intelligence to understand? And why is this so hard for doctors and scientists, epidemiologists, virologists and vaccinologists to understand?

  9. Cris T 0 seconds ago According to history, to facts and to science, the term ‘herd immunity’ was never coined to refer to populations who are immune by way of vaccination, but by way of natural infection. To misuse this term so blatantly is a lie, propagated by medical and public health officials. These officials are untrustworthy and anything they claim should not be believed on face value

  10. My all-time favourite YouTube title. No need to even watch the video itself, but still derive great satisfaction from it

  12. Putin invaded for the glory, but now he’s staying on just to save face

  13. The only real indictment is on American culture and American voters who knowingly and willingly SELECTED a loser, a conman, a pathological liar, a philanderer, a psychopath and a criminal as their leader.

  14. Someone has very craftily learned how to co-opt and usurp the latest grievance of the day and turn it into a rallying point for these right wing mobs to get angry over. It’s as if these crowds are chanting “PLEASE, JUST GIVE US SOMETHING TO BE ANGRY ABOUT, SO WE CAN CHANNEL THE DEEP DISSATISFACTION WE FEEL WITHIN OUR OWN INDIVIDUAL LIVES!” Well, someone looking for an army of morons did listen, and they are now providing them with the ammunition they require to get angry about something.

  15. I thought a thousand people die every day in the USA anyway, even before Covid. Old age, car accidents, suicide, gunshots, accidents, etc.

  16. Kids and teenagers are the least likely group of people (demographic) to get sick from Covid. It’s those over the age of about 65, as well as people who are already sick, weak or elderly, who may benefit from certain measures, like isolation and distancing. The vaccine does just about nothing to prevent infection and transmission. The masks don’t do anything since the virus is smaller than the weave in the fabric of the mask material. The best and safest course of action is to build one’s own level of health, and therefore their immune system.

  17. Chinese scientists were most likely ordered to refute, lie and deny their previous personal health record about having being infected with Covid back in late 2019

  18. Why aren’t people like this is public office? Instead, we get the lamest, laziest, lacklustre, milquetoast ‘lifers’, zombies who live only to draw a pay check. I love his fighting spirit.

  19. He fears creeping authoritarianism just now? A few years too late. Welcome to the party

  20. All the equipment has been quietly and slowly set up, sitting in the dark, just waiting for someone like Trump to the lights to turn on and flip the power switch to ON. The background and infrastructure work has all but been complete.

  21. Does anyone have data showing the vaccine is responsible for mitigation of Covid symptoms, rather than it just being a weaker variant and therefore more survivable?
    1
  22. Even if every single human being on earth had five vaccines in their system there’s still the wild animal population around the globe to consider. All animals can get Covid, too. Vaccinating only humans is a butterfly net to try and catch an elephant. Fools

  23. It’s the same reason kings would kill their own brothers; remove any possibility of being usurped by another

  24. Nothing more infuriating than third rate bureaucrats hedging their words, especially when it comes to genocide and crimes against humanity

  25. There is no rise in anti-Semitism in the West, only a rise in perceived anti-Semitism, and a rise in an attempt to create through ‘hasbara’, a contrived ‘victim’ narrative, as a way for Israelis to buffer against the inevitable rising negative criticism of Israeli policies from their ongoing genocide in Gaza.

  26. This book banning craze isn’t about deciding what your own kids can and can’t read; it’s more about deciding what other parent’s children can and can’t read

  27. As viruses evolve and mutate into newer variants their lethality goes down, yet their infectivity goes up, its an inverse relationship. This is basic grade 10 high school science, yet these “experts” refuse to admit this simple fact. Why is that?

  28. I thought he was referring to his own country, Israel.

  29. If you’re wondering why it’s taking so long to imprison Donald Trump, a criminal conviction of a former president forces the world (and Americans) to admit the USA is a failed state, a banana republic.

  30. Civil wars get a foot hold because liberal minded masses believe “oh, it can’t happen here”, exactly as your guest behaved. Strangely, she’s the perfect example of the sort of naiveté she cites in her research.

  32. The midterms was Trumps bellwether for running or not, for leadership of the Republican Party. Now, hopefully not

  33. At which point does the world realize Russia is nothing but a terrorist organization, no longer a ‘country’ in the usual sense of the word?

  34. Social media has allowed for the expression of more grassroots opinions, which, in my opinion, have been more in favour of the Palestinian plight, and more against Israeli position on the conflict. It has also brought about more and bigger protests in more cities around the globe.

  35. At what point will the world finally realize Putin’s Russia is nothing but a terrorist organization, a mafia organization, run by a mass murderer, and not a ‘country’, in the usual sense of the word?

  36. Pushing the price of oil down will starve Putin’s war chest.

  37. As viruses evolve and change they become less lethal but more transmissible. This is basic high school science, yet the so called experts seem baffled, and the general public are terrified, fear of the unknown, yet this is basic biology. What am I missing here?

  38. Maybe Putin’s ultimate goal was never to occupy more and more of Ukraine, or even neighbouring countries, but simply to destroy what he can’t have; a free and prosperous society like Ukraine. Ukraine is everything Russia isn’t, but wants to be. Russia is a new country and a criminal enterprise run by nationalists, which is accusing a much older and noble country of being run by Nazis, yet whose leader is a Jew.

  39. When populations reach a critical number of stupid people they always disintegrate; except this one

  40. The virus didn’t initiate this crisis of loneliness, it was our government over reaction to the virus through strict lockdowns and other mandated measures, like only fast food and junk food, no exercising, closing gyms, closing parks, yellow caution tape around playgrounds and campgrounds, stay inside, and don’t go out unless for essentials. Two weeks to flatten the curve. Trust the science. We’re all in this together. Do your part. Get vaccinated, and other propaganda

  41. As long as Russia remains on the security council the UN is a party to, and an enabler of, a terrorist organization.

  42. Nuke the Kremlin, kill Putin and his inner coterie, deal with the power vacuum and football later

  43. Ms. Hill might be well versed in power geopolitics, but she is naive when it comes to hardball negotiations with a madman. She’s too logical and reasonable.

  44. Every person on earth will eventually be infected with this virus, even the fully vaccinated and those with 100 booster shots. And herd immunity doesn’t exist in vaccinated populations; only in populations of the unvaccinated who acquire the virus naturally. I’m surprised this highly educated professor is ignorant of this well known historical fact.

  45. As far as country wide levels of education the United States has already reached its historical peak, probably sometime in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, bookmarked between World War II and shoulder pads, and likely parallel with the natural lifespan of Americans, too. We will stop seeing people dying in their 90’s and 100’s in the next few years. It’s all downhill from here.

  46. Authoritarianism and fascism always rises in hard times. Populists and demagogues will always take advantage of the prevailing angst found during hard times.

  47. If scientific thinking can evolve over time then it can never be a fact, yet we are always told to “trust the science”, knowing full well we were dealing with a novel virus, as well as a novel vaccine, as well as a novel type of mNRA technology. I realize the world was mostly in dark with this pandemic, from 2019 to the present, but if that was the case why were so many scientists, public health care officials, doctors, researchers, politicians, influencers, courts, neighbours, mass media and society in general so sure of itself and it’s pressure to foist their half-baked ideas upon the rest of society? The vaccine never did anything we were told it would do; it turns out the vaccine never really prevented transmission after all between recipients and others. It turns out the only people who got sick from Covid were unhealthy to begin with (the virus attacks fat cells directly). It turns out intubation for serious cases of Covid was actually detrimental (fatal) to most patients. It turns out being healthy was probably the best defence against getting sick from Covid, specifically a strong immune system being the best defence, yet oddly no one ever recommended anything to the public to boost their immune system. Vaccinating doesn’t boost the immune system; it cripples it and makes it dependent upon repetitive booster shots.

  48. “Where they burn books, in the end they will also burn human beings" -Heinrich Heine, 1822 This quote is inscribed on a plaque at the Nazi book burning memorial on Bebelplatz in Berlin, Germany. The plaque has a quote from Heinrich Heine's play Almansor (written 1821–1822). "Where they burn books, in the end they will also burn human beings" (Dort, wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man am Ende auch Menschen) about burning of Quran in Granada that was expected to be followed by burning humans (Muslims then Jewish) in 1500s.
