    If you're here from an online school for the Four Freedoms Speech (starting at I suppose every realist...) that's at 6:18

    This speech is nearly 82 years old and portions of it can be applied to the current way the world is heading.

      @cyanghost109 Why the hell would a Trump supporter dislike a video about FDR talking about American security and unity. I think their more likely to like the video.

      @cyanghost109 I was calling into question your position that "trump-tards will do anything to own the libs" Firstly it is my view that the libs do their own owning, mostly I just sit and laugh at them. Secondly, I would think that "trump-tards" are just people who I disagree with who hold their positions and beliefs that form more complex motivational hierarchies than merely wanting to own the libs. I would love it if you would expand on your position about the "trump-tards" having no lives and not being exciting and therefore disliking a video about F.D.R. (p.s. I'm not a racist, and I don't like trump)

      Sadly, no such thing as "Just any Speech" anymore... Supposed to be no Protected Classes and No Protected Speech. But, "Hate Speech and Censorship" come in myriad forms.

      the whole point of the last 80 years was to get rid of the new deal. thats just history lol. high taxes meant that instead the wealthy purchased influence. they created american identitarianism, (the nuclear family) and with that created a foundation to create a popular front style coalition of confederates, klansmen, and german bunders, along with the rest of the conservative movement that became ascendant in the late 70s due to the southern strategy created by Lee Atwater. you may have heard of barry goldwater and that hillary clinton was a goldwater girl. once the clintons took over the left, the 90s onward has been a bipartisan rape of the middle and working class

      @albert40151 Před měsícem

      You didn’t specify after you mentioned the nuclear family but the examples after imply it’s not beneficial to any other groups. The reason the nuclear family was pushed is because no matter your background, if you’re raised in a traditional sense, you are better off., statistically speaking. I understand not everyone has that, but why not make that the goal?

    Certainly this is no time for any of us to stop thinking about the social and economic problems which are the root cause of the social revolution which is today [ JAN 1941 ] a supreme factor in the world.
    For there is nothing mysterious about the foundations of a healthy and strong democracy. The basic things expected by our people of their political and economic systems are simple. They are:
    Equality of opportunity for youth and for others.
    Jobs for those who can work.
    Security for those who need it.
    The ending of special privilege for the few.
    The preservation of civil liberties for all.
    The enjoyment of the fruits of scientific progress in a wider and constantly rising standard of living.
    These are the simple, basic things that must never be lost sight of in the turmoil and unbelievable complexity of our modern world. The inner and abiding strength of our economic and political systems is dependent upon the degree to which they fulfill these expectations.

    I was never aware of how the Four Freedoms speech tied in with Lend Lease speech and the presentation of the dangers of growing dictatorships. I cannot help wondering I the expansion of the great dictatorships of today Russia and China not primarily thru military force (not forgetting East Georgia and Armenia) match's them. An we have to battle Climate change, air and water pollution, the Islamic Calapathists, and the anti science activists.

    20:34 Franklin Delano Roosevelt calls for the need to produce more and ship more arms and equipment to allied countries engaged in battle where as John Fitzgerald Kennedy resented the need for arms and emphasized the importance for disarming and moving towards peace in his inauguration

    • @sammartland932
      @sammartland932 Před 2 lety +4

      FDR was writing in the midst of massive wars in Europe and Asia and doubted that the US could avoid them in the long run. JFK was speaking after 20 of hugely expensive Cold War at at a moment without any major hot wars going on. Kennedy could hope for peace without someone having to win a war first.

    • @UnitedStates17

  • @kimf6498

    He tells us about Four Freedoms: speech, religion, want and fear. An utopian society where if you say something that doesnt align with the global objective, you're pretty much die in an "education camp" .
    Free will the doctrine that the conduct of human beings expresses personal choice determined by physical or devine forces. This is my own revised definition that what Webster's dictionary has.
    Free world, the nations of the world that are not under totalitarian control or Influence. Thats right, so No New World Order! Each nation has it's own constitution. Lets respect and have the ability to argue those difference freely. Freedom of speech and fear cannot coexist without discomfort. Speech moves people to act or hide. At least theres a choice

  • @jdougswallow
    @jdougswallow Před 4 lety +6

    Franklin D Roosevelt talked about freedom and democracy in this speech. He then gave all of Eastern Europe to Stalin and the USSR to be under the iron heel of Soviet Union oppression for the next 50 years and this was done in spite of Churchill's objections to this kind of stupid action. He managed to split the Korean Peninsula and that is an ongoing problem today. Had he not died when he did he would have gifted the Soviet Union with half of Japan even though they did not contribute anything to the Pacific front and the defeat of Japan. He talked about concentration camps and then threw Japanese Americans into concentration camps. We need no more people like him serving as president of the United States.

      @Bernard de Fontaines Gotta give props to George F. Kennan and his Long-Telegram (1946) followed by his brilliant assessment and understanding of Russia and CCCP, creating The Containment Theory which served as our main IR and FP Approach towards the Soviets throughout the Cold War. Even piggy-backed on other Policies like Domino Theory and our Nuclear Posture Reviews.
