  2. ​ @slaterslater5944  ​ The Police in the USA has nothing at all to do with the comment that MikuChan wrote. It is not very nice to hijack someone else's comment I will just have you know that the USA is a very big country and only a small part of the USA actually has a local Police force and so many areas of the USA can be a bit lawless or permit organized crime to operate freely which links American cities directly with the drug networks of Mexico and South American countries. This is a very unique situation and is nowhere to be found in Europe. A lawless Narco-state on the border, large land area that is nearly impossible to enforce laws and prevent illegal activity, a similar situation in Brazil. Keep in mind that in the USA there are 239 Police for every 100,000 people while in Germany it is 336 and in France 442 so the USA just has a lack of Police due to the size of the country and the idea of limited Government power which is part of the Public vs Private discussion as TIK discussed in the video. Here in the USA there is the idea of accountability of the Public to the Private citizen which is why Americans vote for local Judges instead of appointment from above as is common in Europe. Also, the USA is a Republic and so local changes are voted on by the local population, sure, sometimes it can be petty like the lighting on my street was polled if it should be converted to LED or not and what color, white or yellow light but this is part of being in a Republic and accountability for the Public/Government. For example many USA states wanted to legalize Weed and so state by state the Private citizens ordered a Vote regardless of the wishes of the State/Public voted in to place a law to legalize Weed based from the power of the Private person voting for it to be so. This is the balance of Power in the USA as a fully functioning Republic via Democratic system, as in: the majority wins the Republic vote. This is 2 systems working together for the better of society with no Politics or Politicians involved at all. What we call "We the People" we have the power to change the laws.

  20. Chamberlin saved Hitler out of fear of war and wanting to avoid it but as a result of giving in, he only delayed war and created apatite for war by Hitler. Sometimes peace requires threats and not backing down which is the American policy today on Ukraine. Russia claims that eastern Ukraine belongs to Russia due to ethnicity of people living there but that is not much different than Hitler claims for Czechoslovakia in 1938 that German nationals living there should be in Germany. Does France demand lands be handed over of parts of Belgaum that speak French and are of French Heritage? NO! France would never ever demand to take control of that land, the world is different today countries are made of many cultures and no one country can demand control of land due to the ethnicity of people living there. There are Hungarians in Ukraine, is Hungary demanding those lands be handed over? NO. Does Germany demand land with German nationals be handed back from Poland? NO! The world does not work like this in 2021 but Putin thinks it does and that is very backwards thinking. Crimea was a step back in to old world thinking and the west is holding firm against Putin and keeping him accountable for that action and never negotiate with such a person. The west standing up to Putin will prevent future war in Europe. I have no doubt if the west would sign a paper allowing Putin to take eastern Ukraine, that would lead to unstoppable apatite by the Russian army leadership for more and more war. For the safety of all of Europe and Russia as well the west must never back down to Putin.

  35. The problem with Socialism more than any of it's endless list of flaws is that simply it cannot adapt to the cyclical nature of humanity. There are always cycles to society, world economy and order and Socialism is simply unable to adapt to these changes, Governments can NEVER reduce their size only grow larger and larger, by it's most fundamental form, Socialism is unable to shrink. Capitalism, companies, private pocket books can all shirk during hard times and reduce expense, to pay off debts to leverage against increase risks in the environment but Socialism can do NONE of this. This is why the Soviet Union collapsed it could not shrink during a global recession that occurred in 1990 and lost control and collapsed. Recessions occur to Communist nations, Socialist nations it is a human nature and unless the system of state can adjust then it will fail too. Capitalism will force bad preforming companies, stores and individuals to fail and make way for new development or people with opportunities to expand in their place, Socialism offers none of this, it is inflexible dead end and will eventually fail. Every country that boasts about Socialist programs is funding them using Capitalist systems or else it would end up like Venezuela and that could still happen in the future. Unfunded Social programs are stifling western economies and could in the future risk global stability and economies once again due to the failures of Social programs inability to shrink their sizes to account for a changing human environment.

  52. In the USA everyone over age 65 is covered by universal health care and the Government funds their insurance called Medicare. Maybe one day in the future as US population rises and density increases maybe in 50-100 years they could extend to all the population, I can see that happen, but today it is only for people over 65. However the medical facilities will always be private. The real issue is that in the USA it is like 50 countries in one and each state has a different economy for example an emergency room visit in California is worth $3000 but in Maine it is $900 so if you unify in to 1 system you have a mess to deal with and balance the costs so it just would not work, you end up creating 50 NHS systems in 1 country. Now that would be a disaster imagine 50 NHS systems? No that's not going to work. Also keep in mind that unlike other large countries like Russia, Australia, Canada, Brazil in the USA people can live almost anywhere, you have some 100,000 towns and cities there is no way a top down Government can manage such a large system so it would lead to 50 independent systems which is really incredible overhead costs so not going to work. I have a friend who lives in the city of 1,000 people called Tonasket WA have a look on the map, you can barely find it and yet they have a nice local hospital funded by the community and local population who use the medical services if the system was managed by the Government they would not have any care and would need to travel to a larger city.

  64.  @sethtwc  That was only due to Hitler being in competition with communist, Marxist and Socialist elements in Germany. Hitler was not the only show in town, he did not even have the largest crowds, not at first, it was a progression. Hitler himself said that he is a Socialist and that his world view for the Aryan German people was a Socialist utopia where the Aryan German people did not have to work hard, had a fare share of society, Hitler simply did not get the chance to see his Socialist plans come to reality. If Hitler had won WW2 he would have progressed onwards to his Socialist utopia > Historian Modris Eksteins argued: Contrary to many interpretations of Nazism, which tend to view it as a reactionary movement, as, in the words of Thomas Mann, an "explosion of antiquarianism", intent on turning Germany into a pastoral folk community of thatched cottages and happy peasants, the general thrust of the movement, despite archaisms, was futuristic. Nazism was a headlong plunge into the future, towards a "brave new world." Of course it used to advantage residual conservative and utopian longings, paid respect to these romantic visions, and picked its ideological trappings from the German past. but its goals were, by its own lights, distinctly progressive. It was not a double-faced Janus whose aspects were equally attentive to the past and the future, nor was it a modern Proteus, the god of metamorphosis, who duplicates pre-existing forms. The intention of the movement was to create a new type of human being from whom would spring a new morality, a new social system, and eventually a new international order. That was, in fact, the intention of all the fascist movements. After a visit to Italy and a meeting with Mussolini, Oswald Mosley wrote that fascism "has produced not only a new system of government, but also a new type of man, who differs from politicians of the old world as men from another planet." Hitler talked in these terms endlessly. National Socialism was more than a political movement, he said; it was more than a faith; it was a desire to create mankind anew.[330]
