Comments by "Tony Wilson" (@tonywilson4713) on ""F*ck Him!": Trump FIGHTS With Bibi Netanyahu | The Kyle Kulinski Show" video.
James Comey compared Trump to a mafia boss. There's plenty of interviews to look up. What he explained was in the Mafia everything is about the Boss and what the Boss wants RIGHT NOW. What the boss wanted yesterday doesn't matter. Wat the boss wants tomorrow doesn't matter (until tomorrow). The only thing that matters is what the boss wants RIGHT NOW. Look at how Trump's behaved since.

@josiplilic3384 You need to slow down and read through your comments before hitting "REPLY" and learn to use the space bar. Its hard to tell what you mean at times. I think you meant the fundamentalists who adore trump are incapable of thinking dialectically. Dialectical thinking is defined as seeing things from multiple perspectives. Trumps supporters are NOT capable (or incapable) of seeing anything except what Trump says. Its why they can't see that he's lied about the election result. The neoliberal status quo is not just an American problem its a global problem. Americans tend to forget that the American super wealthy (what some call plutocrats and others oligarchs) do not just operate in America they operate all over the world and have partner ships with similar people from other countries. Main stream media is a gigantic problem world wide. Its no so much they are to blame for Trump but that allowed Trump and others like him to exist. If you want a good idea of how the world is working, look up Prof. Mark Blyth. He's originally from Scotland so he talks like Shrek, but he's fantastic at explaining how politics and economics work. He's coined the term "Angrynomics" which is what we see when lots of people don't feel like the system (politics and economics combined) don't work properly and people get angry. Here's his 3 minute introduction to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXJD5rE4omY

@josiplilic3384 I know who Cornel West, Richard Wolf & Zizek are. I watch Richard Wolff fairly often and have seen a few interviews with Cornell West. I haven't watched much of Zizek at all. Richard & Cornell are a little too far to the left for my liking, but I watch them because they mostly make good points. Mark Blyth is a leftist he's just not as far to the left. It takes a bit but capitalism 4.0 is nothing like capitalism 3.0 (what we call neoliberalism). Its more like something in between capitalism and socialism. I have even seen people refer to capitalist socialism. Capitalism 3.0 all stems from people like Milton Freidman, who's famous for "Greed is good" and "greed is the ONLY driver of innovation". His most famous/infamous concept was that corporations have no other obligation than to deliver profit. He claimed that corporations had NO responsibilities to the societies they operate in. It was heavily promoted by politicians like Thatcher and Reagan. 'The complete failure of capitalism 3.0 is that it resulted in a staggering transfer of wealth from the bottom 99% to the top 1% as it destroyed the growth of both the working class and middle class. I tend to call Capitalism 4.0 as "Social Capitalism" because its geared towards wealth growth for the working and middle classes. Mark Blyth talks about doing things like sovereign wealth funds but on a local (not national) level. The big problem I see with it is how do you stop the top 1% from just taking over anything and everything that the 99% try. They just have so much wealth and control so much of our lives. The really dangerous thing these days is that the anger people have can be weaponized. That's what Trump did and several others around the world. The question is what will the next populist who weaponizes the anger & frustration do with it?
