"I don't advocate for my more radical ideas." says Beau. Translation: education and persuasion 𝕟𝕠𝕥 𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕔𝕖 can move civilization forward. I'm an educator, and this has been my position and practice for years. Unfortunately it seems to have taken a perfect storm of epidemic plus corruption plus incompetent and even malevolent governance to awaken the American public. Voices like Beau's have been necessary since corporate media has come down on the side of no change. Thanks Beau, keep up the good work!
*awaken SOME of the country. Remember, the Trump republicans. Remember the conspiracy theorists with them. Remember the Biden Republicans do not want change, they just want a nicer face to speak softly so in the background they can continue their grotesque abuses of capitalism. MILLIONS of people hear the following multiple times daily......you are an educator, therefore you are automatically a radical, far left extremist actively indoctrinating children. You teach kids that the US is nothing but evil. You want them to burn the constitution, get rid of religion, and tear down the country from the inside out to create a Lenin style "communist" dictatorship. You are teaching them how to overthrow the US. They take this in as truth and teach it to their kids and tell their friends and family. This type of infectious misinformation only spreads and grows. It is how the Brown Shirts grew from 3,000 members to 3,000,000 in 3 years. Be prepared to run into radicals who want to cause harm to you.

Of course I taught young adults scientifically valid information, truth about the US and the Constitution [not self-serving lies] and to think critically. I often told them, "If you think I made a mistake tell me. If you think something may not be true look it up and tell us about it. Don't be afraid to question what you know or what you are told, only the truth is important."

I would appreciate a president who doesn't tweet constantly, and a president who understands that tweeting something is not creating policy, nor is it a method of legitimate governing. I would very much appreciate a president who doesn't piss away hours every day watching cable TV, "news," networks, a president who doesn't view the value of something by the ratings, and can define and describe anything with more specificity than, "the numbers," or, "records," or, "people are saying," or, "believe me," because he, " has the best words."
How about a president who actively protects those children in camps on the southern border? How about one who advocates for the unemployed and actually does something materially for those folks based on what's right? The focus on Trump's personal habits makes superficial his real and damaging policies. What do you believe here?
@Dorky Mindcrust suggests, "... and when I didn’t put the pictures in, you couldn’t get him to focus on it." So, if Trump wins I'll have to make a comic-book version of our demands.
If I could gain all the wealth for myself I would live on an impoverished planet. I feel wealthy because of all the things I can afford to live without.
When something is fact, acceptance of it and translating it into action is not necessarily self interest. It could simply be wanting to be in harmony and at peace with the world.
It is heartbreaking to watch what is happening over there in the USA. I hope that you are able to vote Trump out and start to make some moves forward. I don’t think any country really meets the needs of it people, or others in the world. I know Australia still has a long way to go too.
He's not leaving the WH peacefully. He's framing the election as rigged, will cry bloody murder if he loses and his followers will believe him. We must vote in overwhelming numbers to have the potential of avoiding this, but it's not going to be pretty.
Bit of a history lesson for you: I live in El Paso, Texas. As you might know, it's right on the very western corner of Texas, bordering right alongside Cd. Juarez. Do you know what the border looked like before that idiotic "war on drugs" nonsense? Virtually nothing but a few bridges spanning the Rio Grande to get across. And you know what existed on some of those bridges were actually street cars that would go to and from the opposite cities. They've rebuilt some of them in recent times, but sadly, they no longer go to Mexico. When crossing one of the bridges to Juarez, you can actually still see traces of the old streetcar line. Can you even imagine that? A public transit system going between countries? You try to bring up that idea these days and Americans here will call you a traitor or something. This whole concept of "borders" was just nothing more than unnecessary jargon that people chalk up to be some holy dividing line when, in reality, it never really did anything. That "war on drugs" was never won, and people still continue to cross. If anything, it's made the border patrol even lazier with regards to national security.
@@d123mahesh2 It was exactly that. You know that stupid wall Trump had put up? It's no taller than the Border Fence that GW Bush put up over a decade prior. Parts of it even fell down here once just because it happened to be pretty windy that day. Hell, some of Bush's fence are still there in places because it was just easier to leave them there.
Your point about the regime change is something that's been clear to me since Trump was elected. I've been spending a lot of my energy on trying to convince those less radical than me to recognize that we still have a ton of work to do once he's gone--thats he and his administration are only a symptom, not the disease itself.
The disease itself, then, is what? A core group of less intelligent people whose minds are poisoned by religion, and have largely fallen to the wayside as failures, pretty much unsuccessful in life in all their endeavors, and have collected a closet full of guns and ammo, oh, they love Orange Jesus and some of the stupider, more aggressive a.ong them are ready to get a gun and start shooting. All they need is a mother may I. This is Donald Trumps threat.
Yup, it's looking a lot better. I was born and raised in Florida and I'd move back down there in a heart beat to be his Jamie, and him my Joe Rogan. I'd be his in studio tech guy in a second lol.

I sent a question asking if you thought leftists should vote for biden a few months ago. You responded in a respectable way. Between your videos and Trump's behavior I made up my mind. Him threatening to shoot protesters had a lot to do with it. I'll be voting this election

Beau, you have been instrumental in getting my pessimism turned around. In great part because of you I have realized that negativity and despair are not things to harbor inside myself nor to express publicly. It is about a settled choice to do what one can, maybe a post or a video or a conversation, just whatever one can. I realize this is a very long mult-marathon marathon. I will see much of the bad, but as you say over time progressive people always win. And history certainly bears you out -- slavery lost over a protracted struggle, women have come some much closer to equality over a long struggle, Native peoples are getting some wins. Thank you, Beau. 8 3 2020.
Yeah but ultimately in a federalist Anarcho-Syndicalists society programs like taxed funded welfare would be obsolete. But yeah it is good for a still capitalist society
I worry about the 1 provider of health insurance being a historically violent and oppressive state. How many Kim Davis's are going to kill people via beaurocracy?
Jake Nicholls The gov wouldn’t be the sole healthcare provider, but rather the sole health insurance provider. If the program is truly universal, then it wouldn’t be discriminatory. Of course, it practice it probably won’t be truly universal. But it will likely be less discriminatory than what we have now. And over time, the narrative will shift from “should we have M4A?” to “how do we make it even better?” Also, there are a lot of countries that were historically violent and oppressive (e.g. the UK) that now have world class universal healthcare.
The US is a historically violent and oppressive country. Look at the wars we get.ourselves into. SLAVERY and as Beau said our troops are sent to defend everyone else's right for systemic justice and economic security except our own in the US.
Flip Twist - yeah, well, that world might still include modern slavery. Just look at the rich oil states in the Middle East: they build the most futuristic stuff in the desert but are using Pakistani & Indian labour with methods that are basically slavery: all to play a world cup of soccer in airconditioned stadium’s. UBI & more automation & living standards should be Included in the road map to a Civ1 civilization.
Nobody out there wants us moving into the neighborhood, right now. We're more likely to be visited by a Vogon Constructor fleet than a Vulcan diplomatic team.
Thank you for saying this, Beau. I've been using the stepping stone argument for months, to encourage folks to vote for Biden. The first step is getting rid of Trump. As long as we don't replace him with Pol Pot, it will be a step in the right direction.
@@asielmilian38 I knew someone was going to say that. If you think Biden is (or will be) as bad as Trump, you are cynical and/or haven't been paying attention. This whole "they're both bad, so what's the point" viewpoint is really starting to rub me the wrong way. No one is suggesting Biden is a saint, but he'll be better than this. A 4 out of 10 is a damn sight better that the 1 out of 10 we have now, and the biggest thing people seem to have against Biden is that he's NOT a 10/10. OR are you one of these nihilists who wants Trump to get re-elected in the hopes the whole system collapses? I shouldn't have to point out how short-sighted THAT idea is...
Watched Original Series in it's first run. Because of other things going on in my life, I took quite a chunk as my moral and ethical compass. That has been my ideal. Not quite sure about veganism though.
Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end. (Lennon). I find this appropriate for Beau's message here. (Given a win) - the spectrum of the US dems are so wide that it boggles the mind of this European. We can lot the entire Right, Centric and Left political spectrum in the parliament well inside the US Dems. With only a couple of left-side political parties falling off the span (By being against NATO/for citizen salary etc). The Dems easily fit what we call Far Right/Deep conservative parties (in our parliament - there are of course some totally bonkers parties out there since it only takes 5000 signatures to register a political party over here - so the micro-political fauna is huge and irrelevant - we have 9 parties in parliament. I thus totally understand the message that Democrats does not equal a "win" or even a change of direction. Since the overlap with "kind Republicans" is so big. On the other hand - We all get that the change of regime will require a LOT of house-cleaning. You have to reinvent the EPA from the scraps. You will have to visit Europe and Japan and South Korea and...pretty much everywhere and re-establish a global "strategy" (that you used to have before Trump destroyed the traditional bipartisan outlook). They who take over will solve the current climate that has built up since before the modern Tea-Party started - with the "chaos is a ladder" ideology. (It is surprisingly effective considering that we like to call ourselves modern, even post-modern). But first anyone else but Trump must win. I am not trusting that to happen. The idea of protest-voting is a lazy one. I do get my share of the policies that Biden is pushing forward. I probably hear more about those than you hear about them in the noise of your President running a re-election campaign by some pretty bizarre "urgent press conferences" (as if that was even a normal thing). I guess for many Americans - all they get is that Biden is out to make suburbia into shanty-towns. I mean - he is doing more than rolling back Trump'ism. There are active policies there. That is about more than to regroup back into a sense of normality from the Obama years to catch a break from crazy. We in Europe hear and read about it. It is discussed. And some of the plans seem rather progressive when we listen to them. I can not pretend to be advised by every leftish viewpoint from America, but it bothers me a bit that most I get is that the dude in office must go - so you can return to "normal". It sounds so - disillusionised? Sure, Biden is not revolutionary. But I watched your resident Britsh guy (John Oliver) - and he made a pretty good point about how you treat your own history this last Sunday. There is a long way and much hard work to Utopia for all of us. When a Brit (the nation that has pretty much occupied or colonised or attracted any piece of solid ground say you must take a look at how you choose to own your history) - it is worth listening too. Not just the part when you win or loose abroad - but also how it worked inside. I love the great American story. It is possibly the best invention ever. It is optimistic and positive and fantastic. It is not real though. Just like two world-wars are historical siblings - the french revolution (singular) it was decades (in plural). There is lots of time between 1789 and 1848 - with lots Napoleon and Louis and empire's extrovert ideas tucked in between the 6 decades. It was seriously not a 1789 thing that "fixed everything". History is so slow. The quick-fix of the Russian revolution - apart from stopping to make sense almost instantly - it was broken 7 decades later from the commie-version of paranoia and totalitarianism. (PS - this reflection is not aimed at you, Rashid - you just made me reflect from the inspiration of a thought you gave me (I am aware that youtube comments are supposed to disagree with the poster (I make this mistake all the time)) :-)

You are right. I heard it but I didn't get it. My guess was that the world would live as one. I often think what a paradise this world could be if we worked for each other instead of against each other. Was my guess close? Clue me in please. I'm a little dense.
@@kathryncasey4114 No Borders politics rejects notions of citizenship and statehood, and clarifies the centrality of borders to capitalism. We argue that No Borders is a necessary part of a global system of common rights and contemporary struggle for the commons. Man is born free, yet everywhere he is caged. Barbed-wire, concrete walls, and gun-toting guards confine people to the nation-state of their birth. Not every place in the world is equally well-suited to mass economic activity. Nature’s bounty is divided unevenly. Variations in wealth and income created by these differences are magnified by governments that suppress entrepreneurship and promote religious intolerance, gender discrimination, or other bigotry. Closed borders compound these injustices, cementing inequality into place and sentencing their victims to a life of extreme poverty. Freedom of movement is a basic human right. Closed borders are one of the world’s greatest moral failings but the opening of borders is the world’s greatest economic opportunity. Basically governments should have no say on where we can and can not go. Who made them gods over our freedom?

this video really spoke to me. As I realized I am on of those who are more driven by theory, than short term results and wins. But really came to light, is your comment on the no wins, on how I am in for the long haul, and that it is more prepping society for what we can have, than what we will have, probably in my lifetime. It also made me realize how important both are, the ones who are more realistic at what we can accomplish today, and pushing those changes, and bringing more people on our side. But equally important are those who want more radical changes, who can prepare society, getting these ideas out into the mainstream, and sow the seeds of thought of what can, and hopefully will be.

Beau: The foreign policy 'style' you describe at 3:15 is very much the policy China has been practicing for the last three decades. The Chinese government has made deep in roads into developing and soon to be developing areas in Africa, not by military actions, but by helping to build the infrastructures these countries need to move forward in the world economy. Who in America politics has recognized this and is vocalizing how far we are falling behind in being able to influence these countries because of our wrong headed foreign policy decisions?
Agreed. In addition, the pandemic is now nearly history in China and everything is very close to getting back to normal. That's due to the combination of government and people taking the correct actions.
China isn't developing infrastructure out of goodness, they are loaning money to only be used to develop infrastructure and if the loans are defaulted on, they take control of ports from that government. It's just imperialism through capitalism.
China also abuses its foreign policy for China's gain. There are several articles about how workers on the African continent are being exploited and marginalized by their governments because the Chinese are paying off their officials to look the other way. Not that that is any different than anybody else exploiting another country. But it is not all hunky dory.
Yes! So much needs to change before we can get there. Especially the us and them between R and D. They've so well put the the people against each other and made the agenda to pick a side where neither side really works well for any of us.
I think a credible stepping stone for here at home which could lift the view of us to the outside world may start from promoting employee owned enterprises. Some already do exist yet the model for that isn't as widely taught. Wage equality/class equality/race equality/gender equality, could all be addressed more properly within the employee owned model.
This reminded me of when the Congress voted (not that I have heard of anything coming from it) on the possibility of requiring all young people to serve in the military. I was so enraged! Not that I don't want my grandchildren to be of service to their country but because of the current nature of our military and how it basically gets used as a mercenary force. I do not want my grand daughter to serve in a military that has such an extreme rape culture. If everyone is required to serve than we need a sector of the military that is more like a combination of the Peace Corps and the CCC. So I am so glad to hear you say that we need to have a policy of building infrastructure. And if we make countries safer, why would people flee? Immigrations would take care of itself then.
I have a sad suspicion that playing the long game will be a challenge for my generation (Millennials) and the generation after mine (Gen-Z). Instant gratification is a double-edged sword: on the one hand, I fear we may lose heart a lot faster if/when those small victories feel hollow. But on the other hand, I think that same drive for massive change will make it harder for the powers that be to placate us with half-hearted concessions. FYI: I got 4 ad breaks during your video (1 at the beginning, 3 during the video itself)
No Party or candidate should be privately financed and I think one of the best ideas I’ve heard came from Andrew Yang where American citizens are given political donation vouchers to support their preferred candidates.

imo Damn good vid. Seems to me that traditional conservatives and liberals-from decades ago-had more well-established visions of what they wanted than today's so-called conservatives and liberals. Today's so-called conservatives just want those who have to have more and today's so-called liberals are deeply focused on self-centered micro-issues. Niemoller's "When they came for" and JFK's "As not what your country can do for you" are meaningless in what passes for the current conversation. Obviously, I'm way damn old. One of the reasons I watch Beau so often is that he always pushes for well-established visions. imo
Yes, I find "neo-liberalism's" acceptance of hyper-capitalism to be as dangerous and the "neo-conservative" impulse towards pre-emptive warfare and general warmongering. Both Neo-conservatism and Neo-Liberalism are empty and/or dangerous in their own rights.
I’ve been trying to explain the baby steps, but I keep getting “It should be Bernie.” Whelp it’s NOT Bernie, so we have to work to start steering this giant slowa$$ ship in the right direction, with the candidate we HAVE! BABY STEPS!!
"It shoulda been Bernie" (and I'm one) people fail to realize that each policy he introduced would have been met with a brick wall. We have to start at the bottom and vote out the dinosaurs and corporate politicians and elect progressives for our city and county seats and state and federal seats. Then we will already be moving towards progress so a president like Bernie not only is possible, but can actually get something done instead of fighting partisan resistance to progressive change. Edit: I mean vote blue in every single local and state election.
People don't seem to realize that with enough baby steps along all the dimensions we need to go - we get there. You take the small step and then another. We don't have to make long journeys in enormous jumps; it's not particularly clear that we even CAN.
exactly, for really hardcore dug in people I have taken to explaining it like this. We have 3 options before us. Either stomach Biden to buy time for real change to potentially happen, have trump win and roll over giving into fascism, or a revolution. No one wants a revolution, even if they thing they do and romanticize it, they don't. So then which option do you want, fascism, or the at least faint possibility of hope. Or in another way if we remove the idea of revolution because as stated if we really think about it that shouldn't be an option we are jumping to, not yet. America right now is like a house on fire. Sure, the democrats will sit by doing nothing about that fire while offering useless platitudes. But the republicans will roll up the fire engines with their water tanks full of gasoline. Just because the democrats are awful cannot at this moment blind us to how much worse the republicans are.
I really and really appreciate you so much. You are absolutely a true American. I am an immigrant who started my American life 40 years ago. If it was not of the locals who gave me the chance and helped me along the way to be fit in the system , I would have never was able to make it where I am now. I worked hard and now sixty years of age and two American kids later and loving life. I think the government does influence people some how but deep inside American are are truly unique people and even the one who claim to be racist is still have a heart that wants to help. Believe me I have met some of them and I was helped by them to. So unique culture. Thank you for sharing

Change how you pay entirely. This sounds bizarre; But we honestly are sitting at a crossroads, a window that will only be here for a few years where we can entirely shake up our economy into something fully new before someone goes and nabs an class M meteoroid with more metals in then the entire earth's crust sets up a space based manufacturing plant And if things stay the way they are will own the entire worlds economy. Or we can pursue a different economy entirely. For example, print money based on how many labour hours occur in the USA Or Tie the economy entirely to intellectual property Or Place a means of production in every home and say eff it to money entirely and nab that class M meteorite as a nation. Trading resources may sound backwards, but if we can get (a lot) more power generated there is the tech to 3d print everything but food, handcrafted, wooden and cloth items. And that means just trading could be everyone's job.

I’ve worked in “customer service” and excelled. People need to feel heard. Then, I ask questions rather than just “tell someone that they are wrong..and I am right.” Asking questions is more apt to lead to a conversation. It isn’t fool proof; but it can be helpful. Small steps of progress matter! So does persistence.
One specific problem I have with this and a more general problem. Specifically: "Anybody who wants deep systemic change is united because we have the personification of everything that is wrong with the United States sitting in the oval office. We've got everybody on the same team." Unfortunately this is not true right now. Liberals and corporate democrats still don't see progressives as being partners in removing Trump. It could have been that way. Most liberals think that removing Trump from office is the highest priority we should have and this should have given progressives the power to shift the democrats to the left if they exerted their power by being willing to withhold their votes until they could extract serious policy concessions. But they didn't and now the DNC is completely ignoring progressives and shifting further and further right to court the 'moderate Republicans' who would be willing to withhold their votes if their demands aren't met. Just look at how they responded to progressive delegates to see what they think of progressives [1] . The more general problem: Clearly a Biden presidency would be better than a second term for Trump. However, I have yet to be convinced that it would actually be better in the long term. The problem that most liberals seem to have is that they think Trump *is* the problem, so obviously things will go back to normal once he's out of office. Even progressives who have backed Biden focus all of their attention on what can be done once Biden's in office to slowly nudge him further left to justify their support. However, what's missing from that discussion is how the right will respond to Trump losing. It is incredibly clear that Trump is a symptom of a larger problem, and that the tolerance for fascism displayed by Republicans won't just go away because he loses an election. Nor will the sentiments and resentment which led him to the White House in the first place. Removing Trump will just leave a power vacuum, and my concern is that it will be filled by someone who's actually competent. The only reason we haven't fallen to fascism yet is because Trump is terrible at it, and even so the democrats can't stop him. They can barely beat him in an election and when he's in power they can't do anything to thwart his legislative agenda. The biggest threat to democracy in this country is replacing Trump with a competent fascist leader on the right before the Democrats get their shit together enough to actually resist, and that to me looks like the most likely outcome if Biden wins the election. [1] www.politico.com/news/2020/07/30/joe-biden-bernie-sanders-convention-389226
It's a good point. We still have an authoritarian culture, an ignorant population, and a large right-wing extremist propaganda machine that will happily help usher in a fascist takeover. Because fascism is good for business, you know?
@earth ocean I mean, do you really think that people who are voting for Biden aren't aware of this fact? Like, trolling fascists aside, I know that things aren't going to be immediately better just because of Biden. In reality, I'm mostly worried that Biden is just going to follow Obama's legacy of "just compromise" because it was stuff like what he did that allowed Trump to get away with a lot of the horseshit he's pulled. At the same time, you have to remember that another thing that's led to Trump getting away with a lot of this horseshit is the fact that we virtually don't have any checks or balances with this current Senate. Mitch McConnell has largely been responsible, along with his majority, for allowing a lot of nonsense to get through and for blocking actually useful policies. The Presidency is not the end all, be all everyone makes it out to be. Local and State Governments matter just as much and should be brought into consideration. So yeah, the sad truth of the matter is despite my vote going towards Biden, I don't believe things are going to get better. Not even within my lifetime anymore, a lot of stuff is just so far down the drain that we honestly need to replace the plumbing. But the point that Beau or that anyone in this place is trying to make is that despite it all, we can at least change things in our own spaces before we can confront tackling the bigger systems that have allowed things to go so far down in the first place. It's so much more complicated than just "BIDEN 2020."
@earth ocean While that tends a little too close to accelerationism for my tastes, it does seem unlikely that anything short of losing two elections which should have been guaranteed victories in a row will be enough to convince the DNC to re-evaluate their position. Or they'll just bury their head in the sand and find other people to blame like they did in 2016. But I think more people are aware of what's happening now and will call them on their bullshit.

I would appreciate a president who doesn't tweet constantly, and a president who understands that tweeting something is not creating policy, nor is it a method of legitimate governing.
I would very much appreciate a president who doesn't piss away hours every day watching cable TV, "news," networks, a president who doesn't view the value of something by the ratings, and can define and describe anything with more specificity than, "the numbers," or, "records," or, "people are saying," or, "believe me," because he, " has the best words."
The more time spent tweeting is less time listening, thinking and planning.
Yes!!! No governing by tweets.
My teenagers tweet... A president shouldn't.
How about a president who actively protects those children in camps on the southern border? How about one who advocates for the unemployed and actually does something materially for those folks based on what's right?

Bit of a history lesson for you: I live in El Paso, Texas. As you might know, it's right on the very western corner of Texas, bordering right alongside Cd. Juarez.
Do you know what the border looked like before that idiotic "war on drugs" nonsense? Virtually nothing but a few bridges spanning the Rio Grande to get across. And you know what existed on some of those bridges were actually street cars that would go to and from the opposite cities. They've rebuilt some of them in recent times, but sadly, they no longer go to Mexico. When crossing one of the bridges to Juarez, you can actually still see traces of the old streetcar line.
Can you even imagine that? A public transit system going between countries? You try to bring up that idea these days and Americans here will call you a traitor or something. This whole concept of "borders" was just nothing more than unnecessary jargon that people chalk up to be some holy dividing line when, in reality, it never really did anything. That "war on drugs" was never won, and people still continue to cross. If anything, it's made the border patrol even lazier with regards to national security.

Your point about the regime change is something that's been clear to me since Trump was elected.

Jake Nicholls The gov wouldn’t be the sole healthcare provider, but rather the sole health insurance provider. If the program is truly universal, then it wouldn’t be discriminatory. Of course, it practice it probably won’t be truly universal. But it will likely be less discriminatory than what we have now. And over time, the narrative will shift from “should we have M4A?” to “how do we make it even better?” Also, there are a lot of countries that were historically violent and oppressive (e.g. the UK) that now have world class universal healthcare.

Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end. (Lennon). I find this appropriate for Beau's message here.
(Given a win) - the spectrum of the US dems are so wide that it boggles the mind of this European. We can lot the entire Right, Centric and Left political spectrum in the parliament well inside the US Dems. With only a couple of left-side political parties falling off the span (By being against NATO/for citizen salary etc). The Dems easily fit what we call Far Right/Deep conservative parties (in our parliament - there are of course some totally bonkers parties out there since it only takes 5000 signatures to register a political party over here - so the micro-political fauna is huge and irrelevant - we have 9 parties in parliament.
I thus totally understand the message that Democrats does not equal a "win" or even a change of direction. Since the overlap with "kind Republicans" is so big.
On the other hand - We all get that the change of regime will require a LOT of house-cleaning. You have to reinvent the EPA from the scraps. You will have to visit Europe and Japan and South Korea and...pretty much everywhere and re-establish a global "strategy" (that you used to have before Trump destroyed the traditional bipartisan outlook).
They who take over will solve the current climate that has built up since before the modern Tea-Party started - with the "chaos is a ladder" ideology. (It is surprisingly effective considering that we like to call ourselves modern, even post-modern).
But first anyone else but Trump must win. I am not trusting that to happen.
The idea of protest-voting is a lazy one. I do get my share of the policies that Biden is pushing forward. I probably hear more about those than you hear about them in the noise of your President running a re-election campaign by some pretty bizarre "urgent press conferences" (as if that was even a normal thing). I guess for many Americans - all they get is that Biden is out to make suburbia into shanty-towns.
I mean - he is doing more than rolling back Trump'ism. There are active policies there. That is about more than to regroup back into a sense of normality from the Obama years to catch a break from crazy.
We in Europe hear and read about it. It is discussed. And some of the plans seem rather progressive when we listen to them.
I can not pretend to be advised by every leftish viewpoint from America, but it bothers me a bit that most I get is that the dude in office must go - so you can return to "normal". It sounds so - disillusionised?
Sure, Biden is not revolutionary. But I watched your resident Britsh guy (John Oliver) - and he made a pretty good point about how you treat your own history this last Sunday. There is a long way and much hard work to Utopia for all of us. When a Brit (the nation that has pretty much occupied or colonised or attracted any piece of solid ground say you must take a look at how you choose to own your history) - it is worth listening too. Not just the part when you win or loose abroad - but also how it worked inside.
I love the great American story. It is possibly the best invention ever. It is optimistic and positive and fantastic. It is not real though. Just like two world-wars are historical siblings - the french revolution (singular) it was decades (in plural). There is lots of time between 1789 and 1848 - with lots Napoleon and Louis and empire's extrovert ideas tucked in between the 6 decades. It was seriously not a 1789 thing that "fixed everything".
History is so slow. The quick-fix of the Russian revolution - apart from stopping to make sense almost instantly - it was broken 7 decades later from the commie-version of paranoia and totalitarianism.

He's done a similar one about his dream world. It's somewhere in the video library.
WE all have time to think. That's why the overlords are trying so hard to get schools open (public childcare) so peons can get back to work and stop thinking.
I live near the Oneida reservation in NE WI. That tribe's decision making process includes considering planning and ramifications for the next seven generations of the tribe.
The world I want to live in is where I can vote for the better of two goods, rather than the lesser of two evils.
Really valuable stuff. Thank you Beau
Thank you, Beau 💙

currently there is enough food produced globally, that no one needs to go hungry. 28% of that food is wasted. The U.S. leads with over 40% annual waste.
Some people want to invest in people. Some people want to invest against people. Which one someone prefers tells me a lot about their hidden self.

Hey dude, you got that camera dialed in. Looks good!
Oh, hey, you're right. I can tell the little pumpkin is a pumkin now. It always looked like an orange before.

I bet they didn't get your statement on not having any borders, I laughed out loud once you said it knowing they wouldn't.
You are right. I heard it but I didn't get it. My guess was that the world would live as one. I often think what a paradise this world could be if we worked for each other instead of against each other.
Was my guess close? Clue me in please. I'm a little dense.
@@kathryncasey4114 No Borders politics rejects notions of citizenship and statehood, and clarifies the centrality of borders to capitalism. We argue that No Borders is a necessary part of a global system of common rights and contemporary struggle for the commons. Man is born free, yet everywhere he is caged. Barbed-wire, concrete walls, and gun-toting guards confine people to the nation-state of their birth. Not every place in the world is equally well-suited to mass economic activity. Nature’s bounty is divided unevenly. Variations in wealth and income created by these differences are magnified by governments that suppress entrepreneurship and promote religious intolerance, gender discrimination, or other bigotry. Closed borders compound these injustices, cementing inequality into place and sentencing their victims to a life of extreme poverty. Freedom of movement is a basic human right. Closed borders are one of the world’s greatest moral failings but the opening of borders is the world’s greatest economic opportunity. Basically governments should have no say on where we can and can not go. Who made them gods over our freedom?

Right on Beau! I keep my radical an-com ideals to myself at work. They all think I'm some DSA type lmao!
We seek progress , not perfection, eh?
Thanks Beau. :-) Wish I could `like' this one twice or more.
this video really spoke to me. As I realized I am on of those who are more driven by theory, than short term results and wins. But really came to light, is your comment on the no wins, on how I am in for the long haul, and that it is more prepping society for what we can have, than what we will have, probably in my lifetime. It also made me realize how important both are, the ones who are more realistic at what we can accomplish today, and pushing those changes, and bringing more people on our side. But equally important are those who want more radical changes, who can prepare society, getting these ideas out into the mainstream, and sow the seeds of thought of what can, and hopefully will be.
Well said, the struggle is never over. Gotta keep fighting.

Beau: The foreign policy 'style' you describe at 3:15 is very much the policy China has been practicing for the last three decades. The Chinese government has made deep in roads into developing and soon to be developing areas in Africa, not by military actions, but by helping to build the infrastructures these countries need to move forward in the world economy. Who in America politics has recognized this and is vocalizing how far we are falling behind in being able to influence these countries because of our wrong headed foreign policy decisions?
Agreed. In addition, the pandemic is now nearly history in China and everything is very close to getting back to normal. That's due to the combination of government and people taking the correct actions.
China isn't developing infrastructure out of goodness, they are loaning money to only be used to develop infrastructure and if the loans are defaulted on, they take control of ports from that government. It's just imperialism through capitalism.
China also abuses its foreign policy for China's gain.
There are several articles about how workers on the African continent are being exploited and marginalized by their governments because the Chinese are paying off their officials to look the other way.
Not that that is any different than anybody else exploiting another country.
But it is not all hunky dory.
@@CloudedAnon Thank you. To understand the Chinese government goal, look at treatment of Hong Kong and the failure to honor thr 2045 Agreement.
I know! I know who! Am I allowed to say it?
Yes! So much needs to change before we can get there. Especially the us and them between R and D. They've so well put the the people against each other and made the agenda to pick a side where neither side really works well for any of us.
Beau, thank you for the post.
I think a credible stepping stone for here at home which could lift the view of us to the outside world may start from promoting employee owned enterprises. Some already do exist yet the model for that isn't as widely taught. Wage equality/class equality/race equality/gender equality, could all be addressed more properly within the employee owned model.
It's just a day, y'all have a good thought.
Unfortunately those that most need to have a good thought seem to be allergic to the concept.
Thanks for showing the whole tshirt
I have to say Beau listening to you gives me hope. Thank you
This reminded me of when the Congress voted (not that I have heard of anything coming from it) on the possibility of requiring all young people to serve in the military. I was so enraged! Not that I don't want my grandchildren to be of service to their country but because of the current nature of our military and how it basically gets used as a mercenary force. I do not want my grand daughter to serve in a military that has such an extreme rape culture. If everyone is required to serve than we need a sector of the military that is more like a combination of the Peace Corps and the CCC. So I am so glad to hear you say that we need to have a policy of building infrastructure. And if we make countries safer, why would people flee? Immigrations would take care of itself then.
I have a sad suspicion that playing the long game will be a challenge for my generation (Millennials) and the generation after mine (Gen-Z). Instant gratification is a double-edged sword: on the one hand, I fear we may lose heart a lot faster if/when those small victories feel hollow. But on the other hand, I think that same drive for massive change will make it harder for the powers that be to placate us with half-hearted concessions.
FYI: I got 4 ad breaks during your video (1 at the beginning, 3 during the video itself)
The clock is running out. We're dead by climate before our seeds can sprout.

Thank you for validating my "soft touch" approach to politics. Like when I meet a possible Trump supporter, I advocate for third parties.
It's why they don't want to let up on the protests.
Team Blue and Team Red have the same owners. It starts with election reform.
Better boundaries, public funding for getting a certain percentage of the vote, instant runoff voting.
@@Ocker3 certain percentage? How about 100%.
@Kris Moodley Politicians don't come cheap. I can't even afford to rent one. Offering them self-respect won't influence them.
Ranked Choice Voting and publicly funded elections. And more than two viable parties, five or six should be the goal.
No Party or candidate should be privately financed and I think one of the best ideas I’ve heard came from Andrew Yang where American citizens are given political donation vouchers to support their preferred candidates.
Thanks for the video Beau. Listening to you is always enlightening.
I'm Canadian but I love this channel. Pure sanity, great talks.
I believe you need to have a clear understanding of your own beliefs to have an understanding of the world around us at any given moment.

With awareness of oneself, change can happen in an instant. Without self-awareness change will take forever.

Damn good vid.
Seems to me that traditional conservatives and liberals-from decades ago-had more well-established visions of what they wanted than today's so-called conservatives and liberals.
Today's so-called conservatives just want those who have to have more and today's so-called liberals are deeply focused on self-centered micro-issues.
Niemoller's "When they came for" and JFK's "As not what your country can do for you" are meaningless in what passes for the current conversation.
Obviously, I'm way damn old.
One of the reasons I watch Beau so often is that he always pushes for well-established visions.
imo
Yes, I find "neo-liberalism's" acceptance of hyper-capitalism to be as dangerous and the "neo-conservative" impulse towards pre-emptive warfare and general warmongering. Both Neo-conservatism and Neo-Liberalism are empty and/or dangerous in their own rights.
I’ve been trying to explain the baby steps, but I keep getting “It should be Bernie.” Whelp it’s NOT Bernie, so we have to work to start steering this giant slowa$$ ship in the right direction, with the candidate we HAVE! BABY STEPS!!
T A
Yes! Joe is our opportunity to do that.
Exactly and note that Bernie is already making sure that it will have Bernie in the plan.
"It shoulda been Bernie" (and I'm one) people fail to realize that each policy he introduced would have been met with a brick wall. We have to start at the bottom and vote out the dinosaurs and corporate politicians and elect progressives for our city and county seats and state and federal seats. Then we will already be moving towards progress so a president like Bernie not only is possible, but can actually get something done instead of fighting partisan resistance to progressive change.
Edit:
I mean vote blue in every single local and state election.
People don't seem to realize that with enough baby steps along all the dimensions we need to go - we get there. You take the small step and then another. We don't have to make long journeys in enormous jumps; it's not particularly clear that we even CAN.
exactly, for really hardcore dug in people I have taken to explaining it like this. We have 3 options before us. Either stomach Biden to buy time for real change to potentially happen, have trump win and roll over giving into fascism, or a revolution. No one wants a revolution, even if they thing they do and romanticize it, they don't. So then which option do you want, fascism, or the at least faint possibility of hope. Or in another way if we remove the idea of revolution because as stated if we really think about it that shouldn't be an option we are jumping to, not yet. America right now is like a house on fire. Sure, the democrats will sit by doing nothing about that fire while offering useless platitudes. But the republicans will roll up the fire engines with their water tanks full of gasoline. Just because the democrats are awful cannot at this moment blind us to how much worse the republicans are.
I really and really appreciate you so much. You are absolutely a true American. I am an immigrant who started my American life 40 years ago. If it was not of the locals who gave me the chance and helped me along the way to be fit in the system , I would have never was able to make it where I am now. I worked hard and now sixty years of age and two American kids later and loving life. I think the government does influence people some how but deep inside American are are truly unique people and even the one who claim to be racist is still have a heart that wants to help. Believe me I have met some of them and I was helped by them to. So unique culture. Thank you for sharing
I found your channel a few months ago and look forward to your post everyday. I even have my friends tuning in. You are so calm and your perspective so profound... oh and your voice is awesome.

@@thehellyousay Do you feel better now Carl?
How, as a World, do we move away from built-in obsolescence?
Now the push is selling people up-dated house window.
dajokn19 I think new terms are required for new ideas, as people fear terms such as socialism. The future needs a rebrand to attract the widest listenership.
Change how you pay entirely.
This sounds bizarre;
But we honestly are sitting at a crossroads, a window that will only be here for a few years where we can entirely shake up our economy into something fully new
before someone goes and nabs an class M meteoroid with more metals in then the entire earth's crust sets up a space based manufacturing plant
And if things stay the way they are will own the entire worlds economy.
Or we can pursue a different economy entirely.
For example, print money based on how many labour hours occur in the USA
Or
Tie the economy entirely to intellectual property
Or
Place a means of production in every home and say eff it to money entirely and nab that class M meteorite as a nation. Trading resources may sound backwards, but if we can get (a lot) more power generated there is the tech to 3d print everything but food, handcrafted, wooden and cloth items. And that means just trading could be everyone's job.
@@allhumansarejusthuman.5776 I'm really intrigued by the "place a means of production in every home". If you were heading a program of that nature, how would you accomplish it?
"When your core belief is so far outside the Overton window that the strawman made to come at you isn't extreme enough..." - this is brilliant!

Beau! This is THE BEST video I've seen from you since I started watching you a couple of months ago. And, I watch you every day and am catching up on the ones you did in the past. I will watch this video at least twice more, share it all around the place, and start working on the ideas you've shared for achieving change. It absolutely amazes me to hear that you care about all the people in the rest of world, and that they deserve a good life too. I'm aiming for all the animals too, to be included in this paradigm shift towards a good life for all. We'll get there!
Hey Beau heads up that I'm seeing ad breaks in middle of the video again
Me too. 3 of them to be exact
Me too. Pretty sure more ad time than Beau time 🙄, I just mute it and let it run.
Positive vibes from New Hampshire and remember to be kind to each other and yourself during this pandemic and social crisis
Those mid-vids ads are the worst, esp for Beau’s content. The ads destroy the impact of the message, completely destroys any impact Beau is trying to build, any emotional connection to the message/content the audience is building is immediately lost. It is a complete nightmare for anyone w cognitive issues, attention deficit issues, learning disabilities. Can creators at least time a pause in their script to time with the mid-vid ad content break? I can’t follow this info/content at all. I have to skip Beau’s videos w mid content ads.

That would require a significant global social evolution brought about by social engineering.

At one time...I worked at Family & Children’s services...in the child abuse unit. It was NOT an easy job. What if no one did it? Things would be even worse. I’ve worked in “customer service” and excelled. People need to feel heard. Then, I ask questions rather than just “tell someone that they are wrong..and I am right.” Asking questions is more apt to lead to a conversation. It isn’t fool proof; but it can be helpful. Small steps of progress matter! So does persistence.

One specific problem I have with this and a more general problem.
Specifically: "Anybody who wants deep systemic change is united because we have the personification of everything that is wrong with the United States sitting in the oval office. We've got everybody on the same team." Unfortunately this is not true right now. Liberals and corporate democrats still don't see progressives as being partners in removing Trump. It could have been that way. Most liberals think that removing Trump from office is the highest priority we should have and this should have given progressives the power to shift the democrats to the left if they exerted their power by being willing to withhold their votes until they could extract serious policy concessions. But they didn't and now the DNC is completely ignoring progressives and shifting further and further right to court the 'moderate Republicans' who would be willing to withhold their votes if their demands aren't met. Just look at how they responded to progressive delegates to see what they think of progressives [1] .
The more general problem: Clearly a Biden presidency would be better than a second term for Trump. However, I have yet to be convinced that it would actually be better in the long term. The problem that most liberals seem to have is that they think Trump *is* the problem, so obviously things will go back to normal once he's out of office. Even progressives who have backed Biden focus all of their attention on what can be done once Biden's in office to slowly nudge him further left to justify their support. However, what's missing from that discussion is how the right will respond to Trump losing. It is incredibly clear that Trump is a symptom of a larger problem, and that the tolerance for fascism displayed by Republicans won't just go away because he loses an election. Nor will the sentiments and resentment which led him to the White House in the first place. Removing Trump will just leave a power vacuum, and my concern is that it will be filled by someone who's actually competent. The only reason we haven't fallen to fascism yet is because Trump is terrible at it, and even so the democrats can't stop him. They can barely beat him in an election and when he's in power they can't do anything to thwart his legislative agenda. The biggest threat to democracy in this country is replacing Trump with a competent fascist leader on the right before the Democrats get their shit together enough to actually resist, and that to me looks like the most likely outcome if Biden wins the election.

It's a good point.
We still have an authoritarian culture, an ignorant population, and a large right-wing extremist propaganda machine that will happily help usher in a fascist takeover.
Because fascism is good for business, you know?
@@grmpEqweer Everyone always thinks the fascist authoritarians will serve their interests up until they turn on them.
@earth ocean I mean, do you really think that people who are voting for Biden aren't aware of this fact?
Like, trolling fascists aside, I know that things aren't going to be immediately better just because of Biden. In reality, I'm mostly worried that Biden is just going to follow Obama's legacy of "just compromise" because it was stuff like what he did that allowed Trump to get away with a lot of the horseshit he's pulled.
At the same time, you have to remember that another thing that's led to Trump getting away with a lot of this horseshit is the fact that we virtually don't have any checks or balances with this current Senate. Mitch McConnell has largely been responsible, along with his majority, for allowing a lot of nonsense to get through and for blocking actually useful policies. The Presidency is not the end all, be all everyone makes it out to be. Local and State Governments matter just as much and should be brought into consideration.
So yeah, the sad truth of the matter is despite my vote going towards Biden, I don't believe things are going to get better. Not even within my lifetime anymore, a lot of stuff is just so far down the drain that we honestly need to replace the plumbing. But the point that Beau or that anyone in this place is trying to make is that despite it all, we can at least change things in our own spaces before we can confront tackling the bigger systems that have allowed things to go so far down in the first place. It's so much more complicated than just "BIDEN 2020."
This is the outcome that keeps me up nights.
@earth ocean While that tends a little too close to accelerationism for my tastes, it does seem unlikely that anything short of losing two elections which should have been guaranteed victories in a row will be enough to convince the DNC to re-evaluate their position. Or they'll just bury their head in the sand and find other people to blame like they did in 2016. But I think more people are aware of what's happening now and will call them on their bullshit.
I rarely see commercials on your videos, it is interesting that this one has not (yet) been demonitized.
