  5. Imagine thinking the Trump administration was trying to fix anything and was going to get anything "back on track". Question the powerful more often dude.

  9. ​ @kevinsimmons5481 the US is not going to have an economic collapse because of USAID 😂 What baseless fear mongering, I can't believe you actually buy the narrative being pushed by a trillionaire

  10. Because they're all just virtue signaling really, the unborn are the easiest group to advocate for.

  11. There is no organization that was fighting diseases with DEI/Fraud. You're believing reactionary propaganda, you don't know what DEI even is. DOGE is corruption buddy, it's run by corrupt rich guys. You're on the wrong side. Conservatives don't care about fighting TB, they care more about pretending to be discriminated against, which isn't happening. USAID didn't have to go, it's essential. DOGE has to go, it's a con.

  12. Redistributing wealth from those who have too much and got it through mass exploitation is a good thing. Wealthy people steal more from the working class than anyone else. Wealth confiscation is not evil, you're being ridiculous. The way the ultra rich accumulate wealth is evil. Also don't fall for the rhetoric that foreigners are causing societies problems by getting tax money, that's just a scapegoat to distract you from the real problem, wealth inequality caused by wealthy people buying up all the assets. Wealth redistribution is good, not evil. Not redistributing wealth has already caused disaster and it's only getting worse until we address wealth inequality through high taxation on assets.

  14. No he won't. He has no plan or desire to, he's going to do exactly what he did last time. Enrich himself and his family and wealthy executives and play golf. Maybe watch some tv. That's it. America will be worse off in 4 years, there's zero chance of it getting fixed.

  15. ​ @rhymstien3975 the united states has spent trillions making the rest of the world worse. Spending a few billion making it a little better is the least it could do. Stop building b💣mbs if you want to help Americans, spend that money making your country better instead of blowing another one up.

  16.  @rhymstien3975  I think the statement us correct but not your reasoning. The US isn't the caretaker of the world, it's the occupier. It's basically a protection racket, they police the world and get involved often when non one asks them to but it's for the benefit of the empire, not for the protection of others. It's almost always purely about military positions and business interests. The US doesn't stop atrocities and war crimes, it often funds and commits them, like with Pinochet for example. And most of the time the US just makes other places worse, like in Iraq and Afghanistan for example. They weren't wanted, the countries were even flourishing in the 70s and 80s but it was unacceptable and unhelpful to the US, so they spent billions of dollars and decades blowing the place up and making it worse, like they have done in many other places. The US likes to cast itself as a noble protector of the "free world" but that's a farce, usually US intervention results in less freedom and more dead people. It's about money and power.

  17. You've accepted their false narrative. The US spends more money making the rest of the world worse when it could easily end child poverty domestically if they chose to. They want you to blame foreigners for child poverty in your country, when it's simply that those in power don't care about reducing it at all, it's a useful talking point for manipulating you.

  21. Abortions are performed on fetuses, not children. You can't abort a child, because a child is a human that's been born. Stop virtue signaling, there are children who have been born that need your help, maybe try caring about them.

  22. Republicans would certainly like you to think foreign aid is the problem, even though the biggest waste of money and the most corruption is happening with the military budget which is clearly the real problem. If the government needs more money they can always introduce a capital gains tax on luxury goods and tax assets at a higher rate.

  23.  @boxcar1996  indeed. The US should give democracy a try, oligarchy doesn't seem to be having very good results for the majority of people

  24. I'm sorry, do you really not understand why trump winning the election might be traumatizing for women, people of colour and queer people? Are you seriously that out of touch with all of these groups that you're completely in the dark about their perspective? You are clearly speaking from a place of privilege and absolute ignorance, very out of touch with the reality that politics have on other peoples material conditions. A life of bliss.

  25. Wrong side of history

  26. You don't know what you are talking about. The US should build some train tracks but doesn't because of corruption. Sierra Leone has been devastated by Western imperialism and reparations have not been paid until this day.

  27. ​ @donbotting5700 Yeah, if you're actually educated about US history you realize that a lot of terrible things in the world the past 50 years are the fault of the US and western empires in general. Truth hurts bro

  32.  @dietcoke1872  trump voters like to make stuff up and then talk about it to nobody, because they can't talk to normal people anymore and definitely can't hold their own in intellectual discourse.

  33.  @rhymstien3975  they didn't want or need any of those coups, the people voted for left wing leaders who wanted to help the people, The US want the opposite of that so they overthrow those democratically elected leaders and install right wing puppet dictators who are bad for the people but good for American business interests. It's just about money and exploitation, the coups were not wanted or needed. It's patronizing and ahistorical to suggest that they were a good thing or that the people should have done it themselves, you're arguing on behalf of imperialism and empire, which is not to the benefit of those countries ruined and undermined by US intervention. The commenter is right, your country should pay reparations for the damage done by your illegal govt intervention.

  34.  @rhymstien3975  In Chile they overthrew the democratically elected socialist president Salvador Allende and replaced him with Pinochet, a brutal right wing dictator who was favourable to American business interests. But they have done that sort of thing at least 40 confirmed times in south America alone since the 50s, not to mention the other places in the world where this was done or attempted.

I think the US should try spending all their money and bringing their troops home, stop pretending to protect the world and stop exploiting it. But they won't do the later any time soon, they are gearing up to expand outside its borders. The rest of the world is capable of protecting itself and banding together to repel bad actors if they did try to invade some country. The US could help, be an ally if necessary, but no one is asking for the US to do it for us. If we are in another world war and the fate of the world requires it, the US can swoop in and be the hero, put that military to good use. But that hasn't been needed since the 40s and not how the US military has been used since the 50s. An isolationist US would be interesting to see, but I don't think that will happen. They have spent a lot of money funding aid to balance out all the bad they've done but I think they will stop trying to balance things out by helping anyone and just increase the bad. The US citizens won't be helped and neither will the world, but the ultra rich and corporations will make more money.

  44.  @Zyyy-  Their opinion is wrong. Objectively. The only people who didn't make a mistake by supporting Trump are billionaires, everyone else is a sucker who's life will not be improved by the white collar criminal president. Executives are going to do very well under him, everyone else will need to tighten their belts. Sometimes in the real world, there is a right answer and a wrong answer, and we shouldn't pretend all opinions are valid just because millions of people made a mistake and don't want to feel bad about it.

  45. 1. Racist 2. Wrong 3. Wrong. The correct answer is: 1. Colonialism 2. Imperialism 3. Capitalism These three go hand in hand.

  48. ​ @markerickson6320 the only reason they think left wing populism is good is because it actually is good. I don't want to be controversial, but good things are good actually. Leftwing populism is the answer to the question how to we improve the world.

  49.  @markerickson6320  you're right I'm very sorry I did that. If not left wing populism then how do we improve society do you think?

  50.  @markerickson6320  I understand, no worries about the aggressive interaction, it's the internet, it often brings out the worst in us. Well in order to implement policy there needs to be people in power who will actually do it. We don't need to have rigid ideologies but we do need to choose political parties to support if we're going to have a reformist approach to improving society like you suggest. Those political parties will have certain values that inform their policies. What kind of values do you think a party that supports a carbon tax and zoning laws has?

  51.  @hudmo4193  sorry for being rude, appreciate the grace. Should have asked more questions and made less assumptions. Do you watch the creators FD signifier and Contrapoints? They were very instrumental in me gaining more understanding about these topics.

  52.  @hudmo4193  Don't apologize for communicating clearly, I really appreciate it! I wish more people used dictionaries correctly and we're as honest and straightforward as you are being. It's always good to get a different perspective from people who have done their research, both creators cite their sources. Last channel recommendation, my personal favourite that's taught me so much, The Leftist Cooks. Watch any of their videos that catch your eye, really worth your time.
