  1. This helped me figure something out. The parts of the country that supports Trump are the remaining pride driven areas, and the areas that hate him with the passion of 1,000 white hot suns are the anxiety driven ones.

  2. You’re conflating Indo-Aryan with Indo-European. The Indo-aryans are a sub group of the Indo-Europeans

  3. Russia has basically said that in a war against China, they’re not going bother sending in ground forces; they’re just going to use nukes.

  4. @LTNetjak the US has been the driver of global economic growth. The US has developed and commercialize new technologies then offshores them as part of mass commercialization

  5.  @090giver090  A) no, the long term effects are maybe a couple thousand people die early from cancer, but it’s impossible to actually tell because that number is below a standard deviation for the size of population exposed. In reality, we can only firmly say around 50 people died from Chernobyl. B) “contaminated” makes it sound like a wasteland rather than a forest C) it was out dated. Only the Soviets were using that type of reactor. The US had built and abandoned designs similar to the RBMK in the 50s because of the safety problems that happened at Chernobyl.

  6.  @freddiemercury8625  Russia doesn’t have the population to just throw men at an enemy unless they’re the size of Estonia. The US over took the Soviet Union back in the 90s, and Russia proper long before that

  7. ​ @alfalafelstine1536  bullshit. China never controlled a huge amount of the territory it does now, and the reasons it’s claiming some areas are clearly for other reasons. The water shed from Tibet is too important to let India control it. A free Chinese state sets a precedent the CCP can’t stand. Taiwan directly disproves many of the arguments the CCP makes for their legitimacy. China has never controlled the area in the 9-dash-line; they just want the resources

  10.  @offthemountains  that’s just not true. Indo-Iranian is a subgroup of Indo-European. You’re right the term was changed from aryan, but it was Iranian, which is, funnily, a derivative of aryan.

  11. People have been saying the US is going to collapse from the start

  12. No, all life is very rational. It’s just the logic being used is game theory and it’s often so deeply embedded into our thinking that we don’t even know that’s how we’re thinking.

  13.  @alfalafelstine1536  Tibet wasn’t under the control of the ROC. However, you’re ignoring the more important argument

  14. China is even more dependent on imports and exports than Germany was in WW1. Just the Quad (the US, Japan, Australia, and India) would be able to seal China in the first island chain.

  15. Every time the US has fought communists, the US had well above a 4:1 kill ratio.

  16. The USSR fell apart because of social and economic problems created by ideology. Capitalism has no lords or central planners telling people what needs to be made or how much to make.

  17.  @saladin3273  1) we care what they think? 2) it’s easy to criticize the people who brought the greatest age of peace and prosperity until that peace is gone.

  18.  @frankrenda2519  you’ve obviously been watching too much Russian propaganda. You also might want to brush up on American history.

  19. As long as it’s an honest and intelligent disagreement. Unproductive insults are just annoying

  20. Yes, it’s minor. It barely killed anyone, and the majority of people who died were over the average life expectancy. There was no mass death among the population, destruction of cities, nor famine.

  21. I see you’ve gone so far left you fell off the end.

  22. The military has lost a lot of of its respect, but it’s still the most trusted government institution. It probably always will be because the US doesn’t need the military to police it’s internal matters, except for really bad riots when the National Guard are called in, but they’ve got enough separation from the full time it doesn’t affect the military’s reputation. It’s not unheard of for the leadership and rank&file to split. It’s also possible to run an army with Sargents and low ranking officers. It’s not possible to rebuild a military with just Generals.

  23.  @frankrenda2519  well, if you’re going to count the locals rising up to help over throw the tyranny oppressing them, it’s kinda hard not have allies popping up all over. Being the good guys makes people want to work with you.

  25. There are lots of differences. Besides being taller on average, Northern Europeans have much higher rates of genes connected to alcoholism/depression and lactose persistence. Subsaharan Africas have a gene that makes them more resistant to malaria, but it’s also the gene that causes sickle cell when a person has a double of the gene. The Australian Aboriginals had no resistance to simple colds because they had been disconnected from other populations for so long. Groups that live at very high altitudes have developed several different genes that make living at those altitudes easier. There’s a group who have been living on boat and deep water diving for so long they’ve developed traits that help them dive deeper and longer. Those differences don’t make one group better or worse in any moral sense, but not recognizing the differences can have real consequences to individuals.

  32.  @leko4420  you’re a complete idiot. You’re basic assumption that China is just going to keep growing is asinine. China’s population is the fastest aging of any major nation. The most populous nation in the world has found a way to run out of people.  The largest part of the real estate market in China are second homes, and they’ve already emptied out the countryside of all the working age people. Moreover, the ghost cities aren’t in areas people are moving to.Those buildings are speculative assets people are hoping to sell in the future. China’s economy began slowing down years ago. China hides a lot of their debt by taking it out under the name of state owned companies, rather than government by name. They’ve even started taking out loans to pay back money they’ve borrowed to pay back more loans. When a country gets to that point, the only question is how many history books are going to be written about the collapse.

  33. Depends on the type of orbit you want, but polar orbits are a lot less common.

  34.  @ChewEberrie  communist China is the world’s biggest polluter, and the Soviets created more than their fair share of environmental disasters, none of which have been cleaned up. Environmentally friendly isn’t something you can call communists. Capitalist countries have actually dedicated quite a lot of resources to protecting the environment. I have a feeling all the other examples you didn’t give are just as wrong.

  35. I would call you ignorant, but you’re a commie, which is basically the same thing.

  36.  @L0stEngineer  that’s because they’re communists. However, even is areas that are near parity, the US dominated. In Korea with the F-86 vs the MiG-15, the two most evenly match fighters in history, the US had a 7:1 kill ratio.

  38. You leftists and your eternal problem with not understanding what words means. I suggest you look up what fundamental and rampant mean to start with.

  39. It’s simple supply and demand. If there is large supply of low skilled workers, prices for low skilled labor will go down.

  40. That’s happening just about everywhere, even in Africa. Granted, the birth rates in Africa only just started declining a couple years ago, so they still have 50 years with large populations.

  41.  @f3tsch906  Stalin and Mao did a lot of killing of ideological reasons.

  42. It’s simple. When we take a beating, everyone else takes it worse, so we’re always the last ones standing.

  47.  @theresafisher8781  I was going to ask if you understand the difference between teasing and harassment, until I saw you were in Washington. The leftists, leftists not liberals, are the worst hypocrites in the world. They denounce everyone else for what they are as a way to deflect from their own ism.

  48. You’re right there’s no comparison. The BLM riots were far worse. They killed dozens of people and did billions of dollars in property damage. The riot caused by Pelosi not stationing enough police for proper crowd control only had one person killed, and she was shot by the police.

  49. The problem is the politicization. The left has turned science from a way of developing knowledge into a dogma, and university students have been indoctrinated in to things like critical race theory

  50. What the people are like and how the government acts are two very different things. Also, he’s covered the reasons China is going to collapse in other videos.
