hello everyone from the kingdom of Cambodia now today we are talking about

0:05

something I want to speak about for a while and it's about why so many either

0:12

former progressives or people who were pretending to be Progressive why do they

0:17

end up as conservatives and mainly we're focusing on like the foreign policy element and supposed

0:24

anti-imperialists former Progressive and leftists and why so many end up to be these weird conspiracy theorists or

0:31

literally just support any regime that opposes the West now the way I'm saying

0:36

that you guys are probably automatically thinking about Jimmy Dore or Tulsi gabbard but it's actually really

0:43

interesting how we can go through like different people and assess whether they were hiding their real beliefs whether

0:49

they actually had their brain broken by certain things or whether they are just like straight up grifters and sometimes

0:55

it's a mix of all three like Jimmy Dore is a grifter did Jimmy Dore have a political Evolution based on certain

1:01

things and it's pretty clear he also did so what I want to talk about today is these anti-imperialists and why they

1:08

just have such weird politics and I also want to criticize more like lib leftists

1:14

because often I've been thrown in with these people which is absolutely bizarre

1:19

to me because these guys are now like outwardly supporting Russia which people accuse me of doing as well and I think

1:26

that's just interesting because it shows there is really no room for nuance and we actually have two sides on the

1:33

political Spectrum on like kind of the leftist side and it's these like posts leftists former leftists who've

1:40

basically had their brain broken by growing up in America and stuff and they support anyone who opposes America like

1:46

Iran or Russia and then we have like lib leftists who basically can acknowledge America is bad but also kind of support

1:53

the American status quo so if you try and have any Nuance on like foreign policy for example they will lump you in

1:59

with people like Jimmy Dore like I said that has happened to me a lot in the past and we're going to talk about all

2:06

of that today especially because a lot of these people just participated in like a rage against the war rally about

2:13

Ukraine and it turns out that like loads of them are actually pro-war because

2:19

they support Russia not only do they support Russia in that they're taking the side of Russia in the war they

2:25

literally support Russia doing the war in the first place these the people talking at a supposed anti-war rally

2:32

it's absolutely amazing but we're going to talk about all of this today we're going to talk about different characters

2:37

and I'm going to talk about like my perspective because although we have like terrible grifters people who really

2:43

don't have good intentions also a lot of people follow these people a lot of people subscribe to Jimmy Dore a lot of

2:50

people follow Tulsi gabbard not every one of them is like a really terrible person or a crazy person they are just

2:56

being misled and there are certain conditions that make it easy for them to be misled because they grow up in a

3:02

country like America or the UK that literally lies to your entire life and once you figure that out I think

3:09

sometimes a lot of people are ripe for being indoctrinated they're more like right-wing ways of thinking and stuff so

3:15

we're going to get into all of that today but before we get any further please like the video in the comments let me know who is the worst one of

3:22

these like Auntie imperialist I think Jackson hink calls it Jason Hinkle there's two people there who are very

3:28

different I'm gonna look at my notes to see who I'm actually talking about but you guys will know it's that guy who's younger than me who's essentially

3:34

morphed into like Rhonda santis like he looks like Alex Jones but let me know down in the comments also follow me on

3:41

Twitter at the Tabernacle and follow me on Instagram the same username Instagram is where I'm posting about my travels

3:46

around southeast Asia and it's all archived on the Highlight Reel page on my actual profile page so go check that

3:52

out if you're interested also consider becoming a patron I'm trying to build up as many one to three dollar patrons as

3:58

possible and you get access to exclusive travel content and also access to the private patrons disc called server and

4:04

also my Nintendo switch friend code and also check out the subreddit and check out my second channel the links to all

4:11

of those things are down in the description so I kind of wanted to talk about the political Spectrum thing just

4:17

a bit before we move further so like I said I feel like we have like these post left people like Kim Iverson Jimmy Dore

4:25

Tulsi gabbard people in the past who have espoused like Progressive politics but have now moved firmly past that and

4:32

often what they do is kind of take the framing of like more like leftist ideology like anti-capitalism for

4:38

example or anti-imperialism anti-us imperialism but it really leads them to really crazy conclusions like think

4:45

about how Jimmy Dore has been radicalized against like everything to do with vaccines because he's so against

4:51

big Pharma and then of course you had the anti-imperism staff where they'll say like you know we're spending all this money on war we invaded a rack for

4:59

oil but then if you then turn around and support Russia doing like similar things then you aren't anti-war so you can't

5:06

take the framing of that because fundamentally these people have had their brains broken by Living in America

5:11

and being fed like American propaganda so they think anyone who stands up to America is good and then like I said

5:17

there's the pro-american left who basically think well yeah America are

5:22

bad but the American dominated status quo while flawed is actually better than the alternative and they can't imagine a

5:29

world that is different from this because they think well if America isn't the leader then Russia's the leader or

5:34

China's the leader not that there can be a world multi-polar world which people like Lula talk about where significant

5:40

powerful countries either exist in blocks or kind of like balance each other out so America doesn't completely

5:46

dominate like World institutions like the UN and IMF and things like that and then that leaves people like myself

5:52

because I'm not an evacamp I'm a communist I fundamentally think America

5:57

is the most evil country in the world about I think America since World War II has been the most damaging country in

6:04

the world killed the most people done absolutely awful things I'm in Cambodia

6:09

right now I'm going to Vietnam again soon and here is where you can see the terrible effects of what the US has done

6:15

like even in Cambodia not only did the US help create the conditions for Pol Pot to come to power for what they were

6:21

doing in Cambodia but also when he was overthrown by the Vietnamese government they backed him and gave him weapons and

6:28

helped fund his Insurgency against the new Cambodian government on top of all

6:33

the terrible things they did in Laos and Vietnam as well like even that alone is literally one of the worst things that

6:39

has happened in modern history and the US just acts like it's nothing and then we can talk about like all the stuff

6:44

they've done in the modern era all the stuff to do with propping up this terrible capitalist system and in my

6:50

mind although many countries are terrible in their own right like if we talk about Iran if we talk about Russia

6:57

for example they are terrible they also aren't as powerful as the US they also don't have the same reach as the US they

7:03

also cannot dictate world affairs like the US I have no doubt that Russia would if it could and that might look worse

7:09

but that's never going to happen the US is the hegemonic power that does all these awful things I do not support the

7:15

hegemonic power and I don't support how it uses its spheres of influence and something people have gotten on me about

7:21

a lot is that I don't agree with NATO and I think NATO is a bad thing and I think everything going on in the world right now proves this because if NATO

7:28

was about keeping Europe safe why do we have the US in it and why do we have turkey in it as well right turkey who's

7:34

fighting like proxy wars with Russia in the Middle East right now like that's the country we want to keep Europe safe

7:41

when it doesn't care about Europe in the slightest same with America it doesn't really care about Europe and the

7:46

slightest it makes European countries that have no interest in the Middle East basically fighting U.S Wars like Denmark

7:51

has gone along with all the US Wars do you think Denmark cares about Iraq and Afghanistan no they're doing it to

7:58

appease the U.S so it defends them so in my mind I've always said if we're going to have a defensive Alliance it has to

8:04

be just European countries no turkey and no U.S allowed because that fundamentally makes us way way unsafer

8:11

but again this worldview doesn't fit in with either side and that's why people on the lib left often call me something

8:17

like Jimmy Dore because I have Nuance I don't think the US has many redeeming qualities and I fundamentally oppose U.S

8:25

imperialism but because I'm also leftist in the Communist my solidarity is with

8:30

the people of the world so when it comes to something like Ukraine I don't support the Ukrainian capitalist

8:36

oligarchal State I don't support the laws they've enacted against leftists unions and stuff like this I don't

8:42

particularly like zielinski despite thinking it was Brave he stayed behind when The Invasion began but again to

8:48

people on the lib left they think I'm like Jimmy Dore for saying that because my solidarity is with ukrainians

8:53

defending their homes not with the Ukrainian capitalist state which I don't really care about the same way if Russia

9:00

invaded England tomorrow I'm going to start babbling about how England is like a peak and a freedom and democracy I

9:05

wouldn't say anything nice about the Tory government I would simply support English people's right to self-defense

9:11

but again to people on one side it breaks their brain they're like oh you support Russia because you don't support

9:17

zelinski and then on the other side they're like we're all like a NATO shell because you have criticisms of Russia so

9:22

it does feel like I'm in like a very weird place of these two groups and it does infuriate me that people would dare

9:29

say I'm like the Jimmy door crowd because I am absolutely nothing like them because they simply oppose

9:35

imperialism when it's done by America because they simply only care about their own like tax dollars and stuff

9:42

like that and the waste American imperialism is doing so they can't benefit off the American system themselves terms of things like Health

9:48

Care they fundamentally want to save money a lot of these people don't actually care about people losing their

9:53

lives Tulsi gabbard's a great example she doesn't actually hate War she just hates American Waste and that's where a

10:00

lot of people on that side that's where their whole world view is centered of course I also did my master's degree in

10:06

like international relations I wrote my thesis on public opinion media the first Gulf War and so I feel like I'm informed

10:12

enough on foreign policy and stuff that I can have these more nuanced opinions but it feels like neither side really

10:18

want Nuance like to one side they kind of just want the good versus evil to the other side they think the initiators of

10:25

this war are actually the good guys so just getting all that stuff out the way and outlining like how I differ from

10:30

these groups not that I should really have to do that I want to get into this rage against the war machine rally now I

10:36

posted an image on screen and it's basically a lineup of this rage against the war machine rally and all the

10:43

speakers involved and you don't really need to look too closely but notice you probably won't find any actual like

10:49

left-wing people on there they're all like weird Libertarians conservatives don't worry we're gonna get into who

10:55

some of these anti-war figures are but basically what they did is all organize a rally near the Lincoln Memorial now

11:02

you think when you hear something like rage against a war machine they're probably just people who are advocating for a diplomatic solution to the end of

11:09

the war that's fair enough they want to end the war because they hate War they hate death they hate destruction and

11:14

instability they hate all these people having their lives ruined that's why they care about it well it's pretty much

11:20

just turned into a pro-war rally where they actually just support Russia and I'm not someone who throws around that

11:25

allegation like Loosely these people are literally waving Russian Flags while actually saying they support Russia

11:31

obviously because there's so many like Libertarians here they've got like Ron Paul speaking someone's saying the Greatest American Hero and they have

11:37

stuff like this like they lied about Vietnam Iraq Afghanistan Libya Syria but trust them on Ukraine pharmacy now and

11:44

we're going to talk about this at the end about why so many of these people even exist and you see here pretty

11:49

clearly it's because they don't trust the US government but we're going to get back to that then you have like Jack

11:54

poserbeck also tweeting this out like that probably says everything about the of Rage Against the war machine rally

12:01

and then you have obviously a lot of people there waving Russian Flags apparently that's anti-war and then you

12:06

have speakers like this Colonel Douglas McGregor was a speaker who played a significant role in the battlefield in

12:12

the first Gulf War and took part of the NATO action in Yugoslavia in 1999 and his thinking contributed to the 2003

12:20

invasion of Iraq like this is one of your anti-war figures like a player an architect of like multiple U.S Wars you

12:27

have this person called Anya param pill and basically what a lot of these people are doing is they're talking about like

12:34

transgender people for some reason so she tweeted about this saying we can debate whether or not teenage girls

12:40

should have to share locker room to biological males later lovely if the U.S continues down this war path those

12:46

questions won't matter well it seems like they don't matter to you anyway and then even in Her speech she shouted out

12:51

Scott Ritter I want to give it up to Scott Ritter he

13:02

who knows what it feels like to risk and lose everything and he did it in order

13:09

to stand up to the greatest human in humanitarian catastrophe so far this

13:15

Century the Iraq War so thank you Scott who was meant to speak at this and if

13:21

you type in Scott Ritter into Google you get a nice headline like this like these are the type of people who are speaking

13:27

and rage against the war March of course you have Tulsi gabbard there as well Tulsi gabbard who we're going to get

13:32

onto a bit later who obviously clearly hates War though one of the organizers was called Nick branner and he tweeted

13:39

this he retweeted a Bloomberg headline that says how does Putin stay so popular while losing the war and he says because

13:44

he's not only winning the war he's uniting the world against American hegemony and I think that is a tweet

13:51

that like encapsulates so much of this thinking on this group of like weird Libertarians and former leftists of

13:58

course we also have Jackson Hinkle right here being a speaker and he was tweeting a lot about this if you just go on his

14:04

Twitter recently these are some of his tweets so we will save America and eliminate Nazism from the face of the Earth I'd like to make it very clear for

14:11

everyone alleging that I'm a supporter of Russia's special military operation I am again this guy was a key speaker a

14:19

rage against the war machine rally while clearly saying he supports War so before

14:24

I outline like why so many people gravitate towards this sphere of thinking just like your average people

14:30

not the key figures involved I thought we'd go through the key figures that I know a bit better because some of those

14:36

people I don't really know that well but it's just funny to me that they're a anti-war rally supposedly some of them

14:42

are leftists but also talking about transgender people when they're opposing War but I thought we'd start with Tulsi gabbard first so Tulsi gabbard used to

14:49

be quite popular in leftist circles not only because she was like Anti-Imperialist in like the American

14:56

intervention sounds but because she also supported Bernie Sanders when it was more unpopular to do so but she also got

15:03

famous for going on Fox News a lot back in like I think like 2014 2015 and

15:08

talking about like how much she opposed like Obama and stuff like that and it was normally focusing on Islamic

15:14

insurgents because fundamentally Halsey gabbard I'm pretty sure to take his Muslim people and that's why she has no

15:20

problem allying herself with Modi in India and allying herself with people like Assad who are Baptists who don't

15:27

like islamists because she views the world in that Islam is like one of the biggest dangers because she was involved

15:32

of course in the Iraq War to begin with also she grew up in a homophobic cult as well which is pretty telling when she

15:39

started making her new political identity recently basically on opposing transgender people and the LGBT

15:46

community so it seems like a nice full circle moment that she started her work in politics helping her dad who was an

15:52

extremely homophobic politician and then she's now at the stage in her life where she is literally being her dad in a kind

15:58

of like 20 23 sense but she was at this anti-war rally and something she's always been fairly consistent on was

16:05

opposing America's military industrial complex saying like we are wasting so many lives we're wasting so much money

16:12

we could be using that home I feel like with Tulsi gabbard her main ideology for a lot of this stuff is basically

16:17

motivated by just hating Muslims but also she's not anti-war she's not anti-imperialism in 2021 she wrote this

16:25

on Twitter Aloha you haven't heard much from me lately as I've been gone for the last four months on an active duty tour

16:31

and deployment to Africa as a special Affairs officer supporting a special

16:37

forces mission to go after Islamic insurgents it was truly my honor to work with the incredible Patriots experience

16:44

Focus warriors with an unwavering commitment to serve our country we should never forget that no matter the

16:50

decisions made by the politicians and careerists in the Pentagon it's our men and women who selfishly and quietly

16:55

defend the Safety and Security and freedom of our country every single day so Tulsi gabbard a key speaker at the

17:02

rage against the war machine rally is literally working in the war machine in

17:07

Africa so that's not imperialism that's not the military industrial complex

17:12

you're not helping them by going to Africa to watch as U.S servicemen fight

17:18

African people over what for what reason are they keeping Americans safe from African insurgents like is that really a

17:24

threat to America that's the type of thing Tulsi cabard has criticized throughout her life but again if it's a

17:31

group of Muslims then she's all game for going along with the military industrial complex and American imperialism because

17:37

yeah if for her and Muslim people I guess imperialism is actually okay and through that lens you can see why she

17:42

doesn't have a problem with Russia allying with Assad as they both fought islamists in the Syrian Civil War

17:49

because she supports that and if Russia start doing war crimes in Syria I don't think she's really crying about that too

17:55

much and like I've always said these people if Julian Assange had exposed Russian war crimes none of them would

18:00

care about them if he was rotting in Siberia right now no one would care about him they simply like Assange

18:06

because he exposed something that helps their political cause not that Assange should be free to basically save the

18:13

independent press policy gabbard I firmly believe she's just a careerist politician and a grifter first and

18:18

foremost she now was hosting like soccer Carlson recently and I believe a lot of the Anti-Imperialist rhetoric was just

18:24

like some populist language for a while maybe motivated by her own experiences in the armed forces but no one can tell

18:31

me someone can bang on about the military industrial complex and how bad American imperialism is and then go and

18:38

actually do the imperialism herself in just 2021 again this person is full of

18:44

rubbish is full of garbage you can't trust her being anti-war because she's not anti-war she's only anti-war when

18:50

it's convenient to her she is a fave for a lot of these like Anti-Imperialist types but to move on a bit further I

18:56

want to talk about Jimmy Dore because I find him the most interesting out of all these people I don't think he's particularly ever been like a nice guy

19:03

or anything but I think it's pretty clear part of his political Evolution has been genuine like okay I know he did

19:10

buy a mansion recently for all the money he was making off his YouTube channel but as someone who has watched tit since

19:17

I was like 16 and of course Jimmy Dore was constant on tyt throughout those years and sometimes I'd watch his own

19:23

show just when he was talking about things it was pretty clear he got radicalized by what happened to Bernie

19:30

Sanders though Bernie Sanders comes along of course loads of people gravitate towards him because he is

19:35

giving this populist message and talk about how you can fundamentally fix America and fixing problems which harm

19:41

so many people and fixing problems that are so obvious to loads of people so of course Jimmy Dore supports that but then

19:48

it's pretty clear the Democrats are never going to let Bernie Sanders win and there's evidence of them actually

19:54

undercutting him and making sure he didn't win and of course that was even more cemented with the next primary for

20:00

2020 where every single person dropped out when he was winning to endorse Biden so Biden won so it's not like

20:07

conspiratorial thinking in that regard but I firmly believe this basically broke Jimmy dore's brain and he became

20:14

increasingly radicalized by the Democrats who were just like feckless they lost to Donald Trump remember those

20:19

videos going around of like tyt reaction to Trump being elected he was really really angry and I think that really

20:26

really radicalized him more against the Democrats than the Republicans and increasingly over time the only videos

20:31

he would make were actually criticizing the Democrats that went on to include Bernie Sanders as well like he would

20:38

criticize his people going along because he felt like everyone was complicit in this terrible terrible system which

20:45

obviously victimized so many and they were wasting so much money abroad all the time while not spending it at home

20:51

so Jimmy Dore did often view things through like maybe a bit of an anti-catalist lens basically saying that

20:57

they screw over everyone in America and there's always money for war which is true but then he became more and more

21:03

radicalized during the pandemic of course then it just started becoming like Tim Paul or any one of these other

21:09

people where all his videos would just be criticizing leftist people or criticizing the Democrats while never

21:16

having a bad word to say about any conservatives and of course pushing loads of anti-vax conspiracy theories

21:22

which basically what became the bread and butter of his channel for a long long time while that stuff was really

21:28

popular but even now go on his channel it's still there he's still talking about this stuff but even in his speech

21:33

at this rally he started talking about you know what we could solve in America with the hundred billion dollars given

21:39

to Ukraine and that's why I guess like a lot of people are attracted to him but at the end of the day now his brain has

21:44

been so broken he thinks like the pandemic was invented by the captives class so they could sell the medicine

21:51

stuff like that like he's properly gone into unhinged conspiracy territory and he was always partial to conspiracy

21:57

theories throughout his career on YouTube but it just became increasingly worse and then he just became a post

22:04

leftist where he's now attacking woke leftis he's now attacking transgender

22:09

people he's basically becoming indistinguishable from a conservative

22:14

just like Tulsi gabbard the only difference is he's using like this populist language similar to Donald

22:20

Trump in 2016 and it's so funny that Donald Trump was part of this guy's radicalization and I could totally see

22:26

this guy voting for Trump in the next election if Trump starts saying stuff about we shouldn't waste money in

22:32

Ukraine and stuff like that and that's all these people need to hear because they have been so radicalized by the

22:37

American system which I'm going to touch on a bit later so that's Jimmy Dore and I find that more interesting because of

22:42

course he's grifting but I fully believe he's also been radicalized by various different things but I think Bernie

22:48

losing the primary and Donald Trump winning the election were two key things that set him off so now we get to

22:54

someone like Jackson Hinkle and I don't really want to talk about this guy too much because you guys remember he was

23:01

like a really really small Lefty streamer and then he became more

23:06

conservative started talking about like ago communism and then he just straight up saying he's an American Patriot and

23:12

he supports Russia right so in this case this guy is about like five years younger than me despite looking like 15

23:18

years older and I just think he's grifting like he likes the attention he likes the popularity he likes being

23:24

invited on TV shows he likes being interviewed he likes doing all his podcasts it happens to a lot of people

23:30

they like the standing they receive people like Jimmy Dore and Tulsi gabbard were already popular so although I feel

23:36

like they are grifters and Carreras I don't think their turn towards certain elements of politics is entirely

23:42

motivated by Fame and money with this Jackson guy is just so obvious it's just so cringe the thing I will say as

23:49

someone who has engaged with some of his posts just ignore him because he knows you're going to hate on him he's like

23:55

that Nick Adams you know that Australian conservative he is in on the joke now where he knows this is a good way to get

24:01

popular on social media by posting stuff that he knows left as people will hate

24:06

on and that's why he does it and that's why he's playing like this contrarian being controversial he wants a social

24:13

media engagement because I guess it will find people who agree with him and then he'll get more popular More Money More

24:18

TV shows all that stuff so he's better left ignored because unlike Tulsi gabbard and Jimmy Dore I don't think he

24:24

even represents anything like there aren't people who are like 22 going through this like extreme political

24:31

Evolution because they're not motivated by Fame and money we're taking Jimmy Dore especially is more interesting

24:37

because I think he's representative of a lot of people who are entering like this circle of politics so I think the

24:43

fundamental question is why are these people relevant why are these people popular why do people like them and

24:49

although it's easy to dismiss these people not take them seriously I think that'd be wrong because honestly I think

24:55

the reason they gravitate towards Jimmy Dore and others is because of America you grow up being told this is the best

25:01

country on Earth you grow up being told like capitalism is great you grow up being fed this history of America which

25:09

completely whitewashes any bad things they do in a lot of States I know a lot of you who grew up in California you

25:15

tell me you learn about the bad things but to a lot of people they don't even learn about the bad things and then one

25:20

day you come to the realization that this whole system is alive that people in other countries don't die because the

25:27

healthcare industry is completely predatory and is completely unregulated including big Pharma including drug

25:34

pricing and stuff like that you then realize as you get older the whole system is designed to enrich a small one

25:40

percent at the expense of everyone else and that includes all the money they have to spend on things like Foreign

25:46

Wars where they take like working-class Americans put them into the meat grinder use them for these wars and when they

25:52

come back home they have terrible Aftercare so they just get discarded by the same country that use them to

25:58

further like their goals to basically enrich the one percent and just speaking of my own experience I I can totally

26:04

relate to a lot of people like you grow up thinking oh Britain is a great country paper and is a tolerant country

26:09

Britain is a prosperous country isn't it great to be British we are diverse we

26:15

have a rich history Britain was even a Force for good in the world like how much we get banged over the head with

26:20

World War one and World War II propaganda in the UK like about Churchill for example is absolutely insane but it does take effect and I'm

26:27

someone from an Irish background and until about like 2016 I didn't hate the UK what happened with brexit is there

26:34

was so much like xenophobic and racist campaigning and then our country voted

26:39

for brexit and I'm like I'm done with the UK like this is really revealed to me the face of the UK and just from then

26:44

increasingly I just learned more and more about the UK oh yeah like the UK not only were they not good they were

26:51

evil in the world and of course I started identifying more with like my Irish heritage like one of my relatives

26:57

was the leader of the East the rising in 1916 it was actually the planner and he got executed for it and I just more

27:04

identified with that struggle against cellular colonialism because in the UK what you get brainwashed is UK good

27:09

America good NATO good EU good Israel good Palestine bad Muslims bad and

27:15

everything we do in that regard is Justified somewhat the only thing I will say is that some stuff like Iraq and

27:21

Afghanistan are things like a lot of people like never supported and it was very easy to discard that but also

27:27

because that was Labor doing that a lot of people associate that with labor so they still supported like the

27:32

conservatives doing similar things to a less extent like Libya for example I think the main thing is as well for me

27:38

personally communism gets so demonized in our society like communism is demonized in the UK it's far more

27:45

demonized in the US and then you realize throughout history like although there are like bad facets of communist regimes

27:51

you realize that the UK was just so much worse in many respects like we think about World War II as like a binary

27:56

struggle good versus evil but then as you get older you realize that the UK

28:01

and the US let some of the worst war criminals off to put them in post-war governments to fight communism like look

28:07

at the history of of post World War II Greece and you see that the Communist insurgents who fought the Germans

28:13

throughout the whole War the British literally put German collaborators in the new government who then cracked down

28:18

on the Communists who helped the Allies fight the Germans in Greece like this is the stuff that like breaks your brain

28:24

and in America it's even worse CIA MK Ultra all these terrible regime changes

28:30

and you realize that you get older you're like oh my God I am living in such a terrible country and I can

28:36

understand why so many people have their brains fully fully broken by this because to a lot of people you can't

28:42

handle that realization you can't handle but you've basically been told Santa Claus is real until you're like 25 or 30

28:48

and then one day you're told he's not real or something like that because your whole world view has now changed and

28:54

you're like has everything I've ever been taught has that all been wrong do I view the world in the wrong way and

29:00

that's why I think when I see people supporting like North Korea Iran and Gaddafi sometimes I just kind of feel

29:06

bad because I'm like you've been radicalized so bad you think these people are good and that's what happens sometimes they view anyone who stands up

29:13

to America as good because they finally realized America is the bad guy America

29:18

is so evil where someone like me I still think America is the worst country in the world in terms of like their

29:24

negative impact in the world but at the same time I'm not going to turn around and say oh based Iran fighting against

29:30

U.S imperialism or based Russia fight against U.S imperialism or North Korea I'm just not going to do that because

29:35

you can seek out reputable sources on things like North Korea academics who had connections from the Soviet times

29:41

and yeah you realize it's not a good place to live I've made videos of course like criticizing these North Korean grifters who basically make uploads of

29:48

stuff so we all hate North Korea and demonize it more so we can all like accept sanctions which hurt the poorest

29:53

people in North Korea but at the same time you need a nuanced worldview where you can accept that one country is the

30:00

worst others are bad but I'm also not going to go along with the propaganda from that country that makes me think

30:05

this other one is bad if that makes sense and like I said I think to a lot of people they just can't handle the realization that you grew up thinking

30:12

one country was good and realizing it's the worst and and then you just think anyone who's demonized by this

30:19

government anyone who's sanctioned by this government they must be doing it because they're standing up against U.S

30:25

imperialism and we need to critically support that government no matter what they do and I feel like Nuance just

30:30

isn't something you can attract people to because it's so much easier to have things that fall down on one side like

30:36

either Iran is based in standing up against U.S imperialism Iran is bad and

30:41

deserves will be sanctions and it doesn't feel like there's any middle ground and I think like that's why this like Jimmy Dore Circle appeals to people

30:48

because they say look at that look at Biden in Ukraine he's not doing anything for you all the money for Ukraine and

30:55

you can't afford prescription drugs you can't afford health care that's what he cares about so buying to our way of

31:01

thinking therefore because America is so evil any country against them must therefore be good so first video might

31:08

have felt a bit more ranty but I guess the conclusion is I sympathize of people who get radicalized living in late stage

31:17

capitalism in the west because you have so many things going on there you have you know our lives getting far worse

31:23

than previous generations you have corporations continually growing their power over us the UK is literally run by

31:30

hedge fund managers right now the US is pretty useless with Biden doing nothing against the rise the far right in

31:37

America who might take over the government in the next election and it just feels so hopeless and when you're

31:43

feeling so hopeless you're feeling like such a Doomer it seems like the people speaking truth to power are the people

31:49

saying stuff that really go against the United States but then because you're so

31:54

radicalized I feel like a lot of people are more susceptible to having these more radical views in terms of not only

32:00

do you hate the US which is fine not only do you oppose the US which is fine you start supporting countries which are

32:08

fundamentally just as bad as the us in many ways like Russia because it's fighting a war against a country the U.S

32:15

supports like that is how much this radicalizes you and rots your brain that anyone who thinks they care about life

32:21

and thinks they care about stopping Wars could support a country like Russia is absolutely insane but like I said I feel

32:28

bad for these people because I feel like we could offer them a different solution we could offer them a different world

32:35

view more in terms of like frame in the world in terms of capitalism and anti-catism rather than anti-imperialism

32:42

because I think that's the flaws of often viewing the world through anti-imperialism especially in America because you're viewing it in terms of

32:48

like American control not so much that America is the country that has created

32:53

this captive system to benefit itself the most but it's definitely a system that could one day be taken over by

32:59

another country because who did America take over the global capitalist system from it took it over from the British

33:05

Empire in the first place so although America is the country perpetuating this imperialist catalyst system and stuff

33:11

like that we have to look at our problems in terms of capitalism with imperialism rather than just like oh

33:18

America bad doing imperialism everyone who stands up to their imperialism with their own imperialism is good even if

33:24

they are all capitalists and I guess that's the point I want to drive home but anyway let me know what you guys think down the comments and if you made

33:30

it this far thank you for watching
