Mans talking about correlation like its causation, saying random conjecture like it proves something.
Hey buddy you're saying more selective and less selective in reference to both individuals. You're talking nonsense like "well when the more selective person stops selecting as much and becomes more selective their wages go up"

Financial profit is only derived from the deliberate and forceful creation of a large working class. Feudalism is to blame for that, then the capitalist took advantage of that ready made class system. without that foundational class system capitalism could not exist. The hierarchies of feudalism and capitalism are pyramid shaped, while every natural hierarchy of competence is a bell curve (IQ bell curve) with few at the top and bottom and the majority in the middle. Pyramid hierarchies are artificial and integral to capitalism/profit, there has to be a very large base of low paid workers in a capitalist hierarchy in order for profit to be generated. Financial profit is not possible in a natural (bell curve) hierarchy because there aren't enough people at the bottom to skim labor value from. Capitalism is not contrary to feudalism, capitalism is the lying rat that feudalism gave birth to.
Thank you very much for this discussions. We in the Philippines learn something about this course.
Thank you! Really super interesting and informative.

===== Cultural prejudice is not racism. Thomas Sowell, in his well researched book, identifies a general, cultural prejudice directed at a specific subculture of African Americans, which he terms 'black rednecks.' This difference in cultures highlights the existence of conflict and prejudice toward or between certain groups. czcams.com/video/5vbOUTNs66o/video.html The presence of African Americans in significant positions of authority (Congresspersons, Mayors, Chiefs of Police, Generals, Judges, and various other roles) challenges the notion of the U.S. today, being a systemically racist society. While cultural prejudice undoubtedly exists, labeling it as racism is not supported by substantial evidence. Racism is the intellectual mistake of thinking that there is a causal link between culture and race. Research has repeatedly shown that race is not a scientifically valid concept. www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-01968-z

If you play the video in 0.25x speed at 0:36 you would vividly see that he only has 4 fingers on his right hand.
This fits exactly with what Prof. Shoshana Zuboff writes about this in her book The Age of Surveillance Capitalism.
This is a video with very important information about how the multi stakeholder world works and how dangerous it is. This information needs to be spread everywhere. The silence needs to be broken.
you said something at the end about "regaining control of the internet". We never had control of the internet. We cannot regain something we never had.. We basically have to start another net. Not having any other network or community is the lifeblood of this type of oligarchy state or some would say new form of feudalism or communication, documentation, training and conditioning, entertainment, population control monitoring and control system. It encompasses many or all aspects of the individual's life, in some cases it is the controlling middleman. There is no possible intervention. Zero. It is full on zero sum game. There is only alternative networking and community IMO. But herein lies the rub. The zero sum game aspect. We've been captured. We were told this is what we want. I mean the vast majority of us. We were told what we want and we believed it and now we got what we wanted. Everybody gets a new shiny thing and a new contract every year.
You're right. Everything in this world is controlled (including the internet) by a tiny group of people that you can't mention. That's why we need to take ten steps back and create our own internet, grow our own food, build our own homes and create our own industries. The time has come, this world has become so boring over the years, it seems like everything good has been removed, that's why we have to build our own world.
She's also a hate monger. Look up her "burn it all down" comment encouraging arson against the Catholic Church. I'm all for holding people/institutions accountable including the Catholic church but advocating for violence and then hearing this nonsense? Help us all.
These idiots have no idea whose interests abolishing borders will actually serve. The global borderless rich are clasping their hands and smiling when they see activists like Harsha Walia doing their dirty work. Poor brown people will still be stuck where they are, as will poor white people, and the most desirable places on earth to live will become completely inaccessible to anyone but the children of robber barons of all colours.
_"ISDS is good for Europe because...?"_ _"I think that question is slightly misleading..."_ Oh my god ...this is gonna be good 🤣🤣🤣

We should also have no doors and locks. Everybody should be allowed to live in any house with anybody.
Absolutely mind-blowing talk. Wish more people got to hear it. When I heard it for the first time I felt so inspired but I never knew where to even start advocating for these collaborative security solutions when they're so far removed from popular discourse (I live in the Netherlands), where hiring violence workers and entrenching racial capitalism is still seen as the main way to solve global problems (even on the left).
Thank you for the feedback, great that it inspired you!
Thanks, Pinochet 🇨🇱
Why do you support the guy who raped people with dogs?
I'm french, have been observing US politics for more than 15 years, and I have independently come to the exact same conclusions as this person.
Note to viewers: Harsha Walia is a promotor of hate speech against Roman Catholic Canadians. Supported the burning of catholic church's in Canada in 2021 hate crime attack and is a dangerous individual making false historical accusations. Please always research the individuals who you listen to. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Canadian_church_burnings

With all of the wildfires, volcanic activity and wars, there’s a lot of dust in the atmosphere. I think this dust is dimming the amount of light that reaches the earth. My tomatoes have taken an extra week to ripen this year. 🤔
This is a nice video, but I have the feeling the sound recoding is holding it back. It's worth investing in a headset or a separate microphone to record the narration with. Built-in camera microphones are usually very low quality.
Thanks for watching and for the advice!

Climate cycles….the 90 year Gleissberg cycle, the 400 year solar cycle, and the never mentioned 12,000 year orbital cycle. No one mentions solar magnetospheric energy, the effect is has on both plate techtonics and climate.
great docu, thanks. I hope nothing but the best for these people and all like them. You wont get rid of drugs ever, you have to minimize them. A healthy society will have few addicts, but still some. A broken society will have many addicts and must be fixed, not penalize the people who are stuck in it and trying to make it thru as best they can, no matter where in the chain they are.
How do corporations and government want to run the world? Straight into the goddamned ground for maximum profits and social control. The wealth inequality gap has long told the tale of the governments and corporations diseased intentions. The human race just had to look. The majority of the planetary population has been turned into a bunch at best serfs heading straight for modernized enslavement at the behest of government and corporate control instead of strengthening the status of sovereign individuality.
