@joshholmes9976 "Its a biased perspective for sure. But its all based on what people are exposed to within whatever echo chambers they belong to." Aaaaarrgh! I wish people would just learn that this is what history points to. You read enough political history and everything she's saying fits. This is the modelling she refers to early on. It's not some lefty hypothesis. It's a distillation of historical fact to see what those events had in common. That kind of thing doesn't have a bias. I didn't particularly like her book because her descriptions of things like the Russian Revolution and the breakup of the former Yugoslavia were rather dismissive (I've read plenty of both) but her conclusions about the way history played out are provably accurate. It's really hard in this day and age to get a decent picture of history because, as you say: "Social Media Algorithms force feed everyones biases." And this is a major problem. Nobody - and I mean nobody - reads books any more. This sad fact means that all anyone is looking for is a potted ten minute version of events that they would have to read 250 pages to understand properly. So nuance is sacrificed for people's convenience (and the resultant clicks). "Sure some of the MAGA crowd are exactly as she described, But most are just average folk." But that is true everywhere. There weren't that many people who actually carried out the Russian Revolution (which was the consequence of a power vacuum) but everyone was affected by it because of the four year civil war that followed.

Okay, what's the difference? Because you elect your representatives and you elect your president. Even in the UK they still have an appointed House of Lords and they still have a monarch. So how is your republic not a democracy when the democratic process is directly interwoven into the constitution.

Why should she?

@johnwalker47 Antifa didn't try to overthrow the government.

"If you listen she's sharing policy not research there's no resolution just the hammer😋 I luv democracy I'm only 100% disabled fr defending it😋" That's a complete lie. This isn't just some lefty think tank putting out research that puts some groups in a potentially poor light. This is based on historical reality. Anyone who has read any serious history - and the absolute vast majority of people here don't read anything - knows that what she's saying has a fair amount of truth in it. She's given heaps of examples from other parts of the world. But you think they don't apply to you? Most Americans are simply incapable of reflective thought, especially when it comes to the politics of identity. How many more reports do you need from the CIA and FBI before you start believing it? But of course, it's so much easier to believe that, rather than being the result of years of research by dedicated staff with expertise in the field, it's easier to believe in a deep state plot... Until you actually read history, you are not likely to understand this.

10:53 Not 'Kuzenov'. 'KuzNETsov'.

Oh? Why not?

@haachamachama7 "But, the scary white Christians!!" You mean the ones who tried to overthrow the democratic process? The ones who tried to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan? These people have turned up in every security analysis in the last 30 years. The Oath Keepers, The Three Percenters, The Proud Boys and the Boogaloo Boys are absolutely a threat.

@evilchaperone "We see left wing political violence daily." Wow. Blaming already. So it's never the right's fault, even though they tried to overthrow the government?

"Academic types sicken me. The word fraud comes to mind." That's really common with the right. Go back to the bible, son.

@dbsexhaustvids That's true. Conversely, you should read about the history of Fascism.

"Trump 2024!" For the electric chair!

21:30 This is the core of a failure in a lot of American foreign policy. Because the United States was founded by evangelical Christians and because the American Revolution ended with the British leaving, there is always the assumption that something similar will happening in other cases or examples. The US State Department is always talking in terms of someone like Putin being on the verge of being overthrown. There's always this assumption that 'the people' will rise up and overthrow the evil dictator. This has not only been a factor in a lot of US foreign policy failures - because they are looking in the wrong place - but it has created a case for particular groups like the gun lobby. Those people have been telling the American public that if you own a gun, you can rip up and overthrow the government (the one you don't like). Needless to say, all this goes under the radar because everyone assumes they're 'the good guys'. The biggest problem is that, when it does happen, there's no unifying policy other than weapons, violence and a hatred of the other side. That's why civil wars a re so violent.

Please explain the difference.

@haachamachama7 "Yeah, I stopped watching when it just suddenly became about "white Christians scared of losing their advantage in America" i was like huh? Where'd that come from? lol" Except that this is exactly what's happening. Remember what happened when people started talking about 'Replacement Theory'?

@tylerfoster1353 What a silly thing to say. Do you even know where this information is coming from? Because it's not some lefty think tank. It's a whole bunch of data where there are obvious common traits. And anyone who has read as much history as I have knows that.

"This lady has a definite left-leaning agenda." You're not listening, are you? This is what historical data points to. If you don't like it, maybe you either 1) don't like having your views challenged by someone who has been studying the problem for 30 years or 2) are part of the problem. Has it occurred to you that reality might have a left wing bias?

Yeah but hasn't an awful lot of this been linked to rampant company profits?

Well, I read her book and she's just working off real world examples. It's pretty hard to be biased about that. There were things I didn't like about it - some of her versions of history are very American views and often wrong - but her conclusions are spot on.
