Emma Thompson is having such fun with this grisly role... ( :
@@sonnykingcomposer Yikes as in she’s scarily good. It’s like Katy Hopkins and Nigel Farage had a child that was raised by Twitter. That’s a lot of dimensions to cover with not a lot of screen-time.
I think the scariest thing is that this is the most accurate version of the future, all these things are already slowly beginning to come true, countries are beginning to fall and surprisingly it's up to us to stop this from being true, but we can't do that if we are all turning on each other.
2 years on from your comment, this version of the future seems like a certainty. and a near future at that
@@intraum the world doesn't appear anywhere near as bad as the show displays yet. Things are looking up.
The scariest thing is that all of these things are inevitable not even probably inevitable
What’s scary, is this what’s slowly happening now.
Yes, but now, Corona virus has slowed the chance of it happening soon by ×1000000000000000000000. So, it's probably gonna happen in a few decades thanks to lovely coronavirus ;)
1:12 police attacking members of the press and arresting protesters in Washington. wow this is surreal
@@skoviozgamer7436 Things may be about to turn around. I only hope that the CCP realises that if it is to achieve its goal of truly ensuring prosperity and harmony for all chinese, it needs to democratise. If China can do that, then even if the west falls to populism, there's still hope for humanity.
This was 2027, but Roe v Wade is going to be subverted in 2022
This show still gives me nightmares now
I sometimes forget how socially backwards the united states govt is
@@Flannel535 primarily yes, given how fascistic they operate and how often they use pseudo science and religion in the mainstream. However their supposed opposition is barely any better (altho yes, they marginally are) and certainly still right wing and conservative
@@owenhay7154 Not all of the Democratic party is like that, however they're so useless at getting themselves organized half the time that they're never as good as they could be.
1:01 If you read the titles at the bottom you can see “TRUMP CARVED INTO MOUNT RUSHMORE”.
"the supreme court has overturned Roe Vs Wade"
I guess this happening was predictable.
My allegiance is to the Republic, to democracy!
interesting RTD thought same sex marriage would turn over before Roe v Wade
or that it would happen under a 2nd trump term
To be fair, they had Trump end his second term with a nuclear attack, we had Trump end his term with an attempted insurrection and coup. I first watched Years and Years in October 2020, so it already felt as if half the stuff had already happened within a year.
It’s really not that unrealistic, either. Roe was largely overruled because the current Supreme Court is quite unfriendly to “substantive due process” rights, which aren’t in the Constitution but are essentially seen as enough of the country’s history to warrant protection. Same-sex marriage is protected under the same idea, so the Supreme Court very well could overrule Obergefell v. Hodges in the coming years.
Watch this space. The USA is teetering on the brink of Gilead as we speak.
well, America overturned Roe v Wade 3 years earlier than they predicted.
Nueva Esperanza jajajajaja
Isn't democracy in Hungary dead these days?
The streaming news stories at the bottom... Trump carved into Mount Rushmore... *shudder*
Goes to show what can happen
0:51 lol this is almost literally Trump's line from one of the interviews.
It was a documentary
Poor Danny 😭💔
Right about Roe V Wade. Trump being carved into Mt Rushmore is a bit of a stretch but RTD loves his hyperbole haha
CORRECTION: As the year 2020 begins, liberal democracies across the globe fall apart.
@@jbudlo2 "Conservative democracies" hide autocracy, inneficency and empty populism behind their strong-man rehtoric.
they did row vs wad early
We have elections today in Spain, guys. Let's see if this happens... :(
Good news
0:04 Hail Hydra?
Look at HISTORY . Too much alarmism to scare people.
Biden 2020. Supreme Court could possibly overturn those things if it gets too conservative.
I really like this show, but I dislike what Viktor said about “go far enough you meet in the middle”. I would say that although you can have far left economics while having conservative social values, that sort of tyranny is not inherent at all to communism or left anarchism.
1) Anarchism is incompatible with economically left-wing ideas.
2) Viktor says that coming from a country that was tyrannized for decades and suffered several genocides because of your marvelous progressive Marxism.
3) It's not that tyranny is inherent to communism, communism is tyranny (one of the forms it takes) and if you're a totalitarian who wants a totalitarian socialist regime implanted be honest about it (many people have and will continue to admit it) but don't come to anyone trying to fool them into thinking a totalitarian dominance of the economy can result in anything but genocide and starvation, as your ideals have always brought.
Pol Pot, Mao, Stalin, Chavez, Castro, Mugabe, Ortega, Jong-Un. Pick a book
@@eumeswil1976 that’s why I favor a more decentralized planned economy model, or doing some form of market socialism with worker cooperatives as the lead. I agree that central planned economies can have issues.
Stalin like a bit of racial based genocide. Time to stop picking sides in their game.
@@gabrielmadrigal2087 I didn’t say I supported those people or everything theyve done. If you read what I said, I said that tyranny isn’t inherent to communism or anarchism.
trump carved into mount Rushmore, anyone see it?
Roe v wade (turnover) happened
I wonder what brexiters think watching this series....
Oh marvelous. You assume they are thinking. What an unexpected relief. 🎉
We think that thanks to Brexit this outcome are possible - those "concentration camps" without shooting, no one getting killed during the revolution and police are still protecting the law and not a regime, since in the series Viv was *arrested*.
Unlike left-winged remains of EU, which was even hinted in the series, or as it was once after WWII in Europe with Gulags, brought to you by a fellow socialists. Equal amount of lead to everyone!
Don't believe that police can cover crimes of the regime, army, tanks, artillery and airforce being used to "calm down" protesters? Well then, here's a quick reminder: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kengir_uprising
@@cartmann227 nice, assuming someone's mental abilities based on their association with a certain group. You would vote for Viv, since she's proposing to ban citizens with a lower than a certain level IQ from the election, wouldn't you?
Guys, I think you missed something: Viv wasn't oppressing aliens, as stereotypical rights are doing, she sent *her own fellow citizens* to concentration camp, like left did and doing now. At the same time institutions haven't been corrupted, so you can't say that a left-totalitarian regime of Rook was depicted, plus there was clearly little to no propaganda. So please, try to be open-minded and stop seeing rights in every character or a dark corner, especially when the show itself is about democracy in a nutshell and how citizens are free to chose their future, which doesn't always correlate with the promises of the candidates.
@@TheSoundofPleasureASMR It's concerning how they were able to brainwashed you so well that even a show like that doesn't make you understand what they are doing. I will fight brexit, I will fight fascists, I will fight you. Get ready for that because this is happening.
This is all can happen to greece spain italy and hubgary and not because of trump or brexit but because of those countries own fault. It is certainly a little scary when you put it all together and see the state of the world nowadays
I'm from Spain and this scene is quite accurate in some aspects but not in others.
There is a leftist tendence in our country since 2011 and the Indignados Movement (similar to Occupy Wall Street,but in Madrid's Puerta del Sol) BUT there is NO way that Catalonia gets independence or the whole parliamentary system goes to hell so easily. In fact most of the military are kinda right-wing, so there would be a civil war before letting an extreme-left party to govern Spain and expel the Royal Family.
Also, if Spain and/or Italy leaves the euro (and the EU) it would collapse. It would be much worse than this.
I' m from Hungary, it will not happen here.
Reasons:
- people who are young and healthy and good at what they do are going abroad, the ones left here are sick, feeble, elderly, those not wishing to work, just to get money after giving birth to children (gypsies and Hungarian mothers) and those who are allied with the current system and benefitting from it as people in leading positions per country regions and those citizens who also serve them unquestioningly
- people are inherently afraid of anything new and not conservative, even despite LGBTQ people is in high numbers amongst 2/3 majority parliamentary party
- lots of scandals came out, like one of the politicians did drug parties from public revenues, other one was in LGBTQ orgies in Brussels, third one used public money to have an over-the-top expensive yacht party with lots of supermodels, by cheating his wife - and the most important part is anti-EU, anti-LGBTQ, moral and nice living
- the ruling party changing its colours well, and a nice populist one - it had been liberal in the beginning, then they became right-wing extremist, and now Putin-supporters
- they do use the principle divide and conquer well: they always find a target group whom they demonize: liberals, teachers, LGBTQ, illegal migrants, all sorts of non-white Hungarians, list goes on
- not many changes happened during their reign, they merely made themselves richer and did some things which was met with the approval of lots of people in the country: fence against illegal migrants, made a law in which they made LGBTQ synonymous with pedophilia, if there are any problems there are 3 culprits for it: European Union, Brussels, Gyurcsány Ferenc
- we had a leftist politician (on paper he is that, in reality neo-liberal) between 2005 to 2010, he is called Gyurcsány Ferenc, who said on a closed session, which was later came to light: We f*cked up, not a little, a lot
- it happened during the first economic recession of 21st century, people had it hard
- he resigned at end of 2008, and in 2009 a team of economic specialists handled the solving of crisis
- here you can be fired from your job on a whim, there are no trade unions whom you can protect you, or funds would be immediately withdrawn from them
- all key positions and almost all positions altogether in courts, politics, associations, companies is in the hands of government' s friends and also majority of media
- if anyone is speaking against them, they will be fired from job, ridiculed, had a campaign against the person, demonized
- in 2010 the fidesz came into power with 2/3 majority, ever since they can and will hold it for a number reasons:
Reason 1: they overwrote the Hungarian Constitution, and changed it to something called the Book of Basic Laws, that Book of Basic Laws ever since has been modified 10 times yearly
Reason 2: they are giving lots of support and dole for those who give birth to children - so much, those people do not have to work at all
Reason 3: they create menial jobs in countryside for people who are not really good at anything
Reason 4: starting from 1920 Hungary has have had 3 major leaders, Orbán Viktor, Horthy Miklós and Kádár János, who ruled for most parts during this period to this day (ages when others ruled merely counts as 25 years). Hungarian people has a mindset that they love to be told what to do, a lot of them, they need a leader figure who kinda feels like a safe conservative father figure (they also prefer the father figure to endorse religion, so Orbán did made ethics/morality OR religious studies compulsory in school)
- ordinary citizens, unless corrupt to the core or friends with them, need to work a lot, and barely makes a living

Thank GOD Trump lost in 2020
what about whoever’s controlling Biden, cos he’s off his head, and Klaus Shwab and his Great Reset, we still have a lot to worry about with Agenda 2030
That would be amazing seeing the UN up and leave no one would take them also the US funds them why would we pay their rent
Ryan Reyes, the UN already has headquarters in other countries - there’s one in Nairobi (Kenya), one in Vienna (Austria) and one in Geneva (Switzerland). Also, in the extremely unlikely event that the USA cut all of their funding towards the UN, American corporations (especially those not aligned with Trump and the far-right) would most likely compensate for it - the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation already donates $300 million a year to the UN, and if the USA cut funding I would expect that figure alone to go up significantly.
Liberal nightmare 😂
Terrible series.
We got Roe, I'd be happy beyond belief to get rid of same sex "marriage"
Why? Two men are two women getting married does not at all negatively effect your life.
Why? The the Regime would just eventually bring it back. You think that matters? Its all Bread and Circus
“You go far right, you go far left, eventually you meet in the middle”
Here in Spain most people don't get that. They love extremes and perpetual civil-war-like state of mind.
Google User ‘Enlightened centrists’ be like . Nazis and communists are the same actually
@@damon4977 they are not. The nazis killed 45 million people. Communism killed over 100 millions
"The supreme court has overturned Roe Vs Wade" yeah, imagine that
