  1. Is this a joke? Or a conspiracy theory?

  2. As an African who grew up in post-Apartheid & post-Derg Africa, South Africa's (and Africa as a whole) messy gradual decline has been a tragedy that has eaten at me. I grew up in a time when South Africa hosted the World Cup, (flawed) democracy still existed in places like Ethiopia, and economic development was exponential. Now Africa is suffering from stagnation, democratic backsliding, coups, civil war, and a rise in neocolonialism. I hope the future gets better for South Africa in the long term.

  4. I agree. I was thinking about how that video did not age well while watching this.

  5.  @DroneBeeStrike  Healthy capitalism is based on free & fair market competition. Unhealthy capitalism is based on unfair monopolies and exploitative practices. One helps small communities, and the other destroys them.

  7.  @justgoogleit1005  Sounds like a nationalist statement in this ever more internationalized problem.

  8.  @christiangoulden4399  The death penalty was abolished in El Salvador in 1983 for all crimes except "for cases stipulated in military legislation during a state of international war" (Article 27 of the Constitution). The last execution was carried out in 1973. At least on paper. There is no one left to enforce except Bukele, himself. By the way, El Salvador voted in favor of the United Nations moratorium on the death penalty many times, most recently, in 2020.

  10. Most problems in America could be solved if not for the lack or hostility of political will. Many times this means the rich and powerful, but it also applies to the shortsightedness of working-class Americans. We are the ones holding ourselves back.

  12. As an architect, I get that.

  13. Yet another legacy of the Ronald Reagan era. Every Congress, Supreme Court, presidency since Reagan's administrations have strengthened his exploitative policy/practices because they profit great from the lie of the "trickle down."

  17. That's why I always say the F-35 is biggest bang for your buck while staying economically practical.

  18. That's partly because the US Government doesn't appropriate funds evenly amongst departments and with a clear road map. It's also partly because most parks and conservation sites don't have access to enough sponsors and privately raised funds.

  19. Another great, thought-provocative video by the team at Wendover Productions.

  20. LMFAO The perfect get-rich-quick scheme.

  21. Plus, the current Pope is respected by other religions and atheists alike.

  22. Canada is our top hat so our military is their military.

  23. Yeah. Nothing would justify this level of military expenditure during peacetime, if not for the fact that the US is mindbogglingly wealthy now.

  24. This is what people think America is like. A nation controlled by conglomerates and cultist cabals. It's still crazy to think that this is actually occurring, but it's in South Korea, not America.

  25. If the sign is a lie, then the other door is the one that is actually safe.

  27. Revenge will only come back to bite you. It always does. That's why retribution is NOT part of the Rule of Law. You have given Bukele all the power in your country, what's stopping him from targeting you for disagreeing with him. Go read a history book.

  33. Well, I officially cannot make fun of Australia anymore. They were leagues ahead of the US -- we are currently going through the numbed process of: exhausted people, politicians, & lobbyists VS the NRA, the GOP, & average polarized gun owners. But to be fair, this model would never work for the states. Solving gun violence in America would take something as drastic as a Constitutional Convention (setting a dangerous precedent).

  35. Redundantly speaking, in power projection, what makes power so significant is the ability to actually PROJECT it.

  36. Actually, Qatar got rich because of their Natural Gas. Importing the migrant workers came after that. And let's not mince words and just call them what they are, slave laborers.

  38. Ever since I started watching One Piece, I have had this urge to set off to the open Blue as a pirate. Living my life lawless and free while searching for a legendary, historic treasure that could change the world.

  39. The US already has all the benefits of "owning Greenland" without any of the hassle of actually owning and buying it. Under NATO, the US military has everything it strategically needs and US corporations are on the shortlist of mineral mining. All this does is cause rifts and create bad blood which can be exploited by our opps. Worst case scenario, American blood will spill on the ice of a Greenland that is defended by Europe.

  41. It's not the war, the cartel, Biden, Putin, or peak oil that is at fault; it's just the reality of the globalized energy market during the 2020s (& maybe beyond). Climate change, the power of scarcity, the ruin of abundance, the surreal obliteration & resurrection of the price of oil, and the true power of supply & demand were all factors that built up this sum.

  44. That is being very generous to a country that was complicit with the Nazi plunder of Europe. Not just Nazi's, but most of the worst dictators from the Cold War, too. Switzerland = Qatar - slave laborers.

  45. Yes. After all, at the end of the day, the only "tangible" thing people care about more than guns, is money

  46. Today's Republicans not realizing that supporting stronger trade/ties with Mexico will kneecap US dependence on Chinese products, increase southern US states' economic activity, correlate w/ a decrease in the volume of immigration, and all come at a cheaper price (for Americans) than the status quo. That's how you know MAGA and the FF Coalition don't stand for traditional Republican values. They're ultra-conservatives masquerading as Republicans. Yet, the electorate either doesn't wanna know the truth or doesn't care enough to know.

  50. The real problem is not the division. The real problem is East Germany had to deal with 4 decades of thuggish "communism". And North Korea has been a brutal dictatorship with a brainwashed population for 80 years. THAT is the real reason that East Germany is still shit.
