He was good, but I felt he got caught in semantics way too much, guy is an ESL speaker for hecks sake, complained about hakim's speed, which was perfect, I can't stand slow talkers at least if they're young and not on the spectrum, and missed some of his meanings that should have been clear. Overall he was OK, but just grated on my nerves at parts.

@thegloryboy3867 are you aware GDP isn't that great of a metric and reflects nothing but raw output power as supposedly measured in currency but easily obscures far more complete and accurate realities of a particular nation or region's economy? It also gives no reflection on the true state of relative poverty or wealth distribution within a given nation??

Sorry moderator you're getting on my nerves hard bro. Nothing personal I'm sure you're a great dood by good grief, we've got a non-native English speaker for chrissake trying to get all his thoughts out before he forgets and he's doing a fantastic job. Cut him a break eyy?? Also if you can't keep up I mean, go interview someone else then. None of us have all day. I could've stood hearing it twice as fast. We're trying to do a high volume of material here. I'm sorry for those who are on the spectrum but I get so frustrated when a podcaster or speaker sounds like he's talking in slow motion. Fs. The faster the better. And besides the speed can be adjusted in the settings for those who view once it's uploaded. Faster would have been even better. For people at average or above average IQ, the fastest possible talk rate is ideal because you maximize your information transfer. Our boy Hakim is the (actually) smart and based Ben Shapiro and I feel much smarter already.

@aleklja9036 I mean, it all starts with exploring the issues and boning up on knowledge first. Then yes, let's get down to the nitty-gritty and make a plan. My plan rn is to conceptualize as many Dem-soc and Socialistic solutions to broader social issues as possible, then write them down in as much detail as possible. Take a page for every problem- then write down every improvement you want to see. Organize and adjust for clarity as necessary. I also resolve to vote for the most progressive/Left candidates as I can find. I also resolve to join a local PSL or DSA or Greens or even Revkom chapters and continue brainstorming solutions, then decide where to begin our advocacy- local, county, or state level. Then, we just start advocating. We will go and make our proposals, make some presentations and demands, do some begging/ lobbying of the people in office, and see how far that gets us. Hopefully somewhere. If necessary we can always escalate things to lawsuits. One way to handle things is the ballot box, the other is the courts. The courts can often be infiltrated by shady, corrupt assholes in the judgeships, but we still have to try to give it our best, so at least we can say we did all we could to achieve XYZ. Finally, some of us will have to be willing to run for public office. It's important to always have a detailed plan on every issue, so that unlike most piss-ass politicians, we can point to tangible information when people ask us what do we stand for, what we want to see done, etc. And ofc all this can go up on our party or campaign websites. Federal is almost hopeless and the hardest to affect, so I don't even worry about bothering with that at this juncture. Just keep calling our reps and pushing more real Progessives into office is the best we can do there rn I think. So I mean, that's a plan anyone who's interested in making public change can get on board with.

@aleklja9036 lol ok. Geez move along my guy. Talibs deserve bullets or forced removal. All wackjob extremists do. They want to live in the stone age and force it on everyone else and keep women on permanent house arrest, burka slavery and as slaves to men. No I don't think so. I hate to be rough but any savage like that deserves forcible removal or a bullet sandwich.

@aleklja9036 I don't think so. It gives an alternate vision of a large-scale social structure and one I'd like to hear more about.
