The Most Dangerous Thing In The Western Hemisphere

Howdy, friends! I started working on this video two weeks ago and so much has happened since - Biden spouting right-wing talking points about "illegals," liberals patting themselves on the back for sending a handful of expired meals to Palestine (while continuing to support their ethnic cleansing campaign), Biden announcing the US will officially be occupying the region in order to build a "port" in Gaza (which will surely not be used for military purposes), it's almost too much to keep up with. Time to tell it like it is. Our liberal friends need a wakeup call. If you appreciate the work I'm doing, please consider becoming a patron. It's pretty much impossible to land sponsors with content like mine, so I'm entirely dependent on viewer support. You can get early access to every video, plus access to our Discord server (where I do a live Q&A every month) by becoming a patron at patreon.com/secondthought

Said it before, I'll say it again: I never thought I'd live in a time when protecting innocent children was unpopular.

"Many of us like to ask ourselves, 'What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?' The answer is, you're doing it. Right now." - Aaron Bushnell

"I have more respect for a man who lets me know where he stands, even if he's wrong, than the one who comes up like an angel and is nothing but a devil." - Malcolm X

I remember being at a dinner with a liberal Californian who couldn't understand why my country was so ok with high taxes (even if it meant free education and healthcare). During the same dinner he gave a car to a friend because he couldn't fit all 8 cars into his two garages. Thank you, I'll take the free education and healthcare for all of us, no violence in the streets, and bike to my job.

Martin Luther King and Malcolm X were absolutely correct.

MLK Jr wasn't murdered directly because of wanting to end segregation and racism, but shortly after he started speaking truth to power and tied the struggle of black Americans to the struggle of the working poor. Once he realized that racism went hand in hand with wealth disparity he was assassinated, because those with the most would sooner make him a martyr and co-op his message than ever allow fair wealth distribution to become a reality in this country. The struggle has always been a struggle of class, it's just those at the bottom rungs of society tend to be minorities that get ground to dust the fastest.

That's what really alienated King with the ruling class. He started talking not about Black or White but about class and economic justice.

As a wise man once said: "A liberal is someone who opposes every war except the current war and supports all civil rights movements except the one that’s going on right now."

Captain Picard once said, “villains who twirl their mustaches are easy to spot, those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well camouflaged”.

If I was a leftist in America and my only option is Joe Biden, I would be crying now. In my country, Biden would be a common right wing candidate. There's no real American left.

You’re not being overly harsh. You’re 100 percent correct.

As a college student I personally feel safer with the Palestine rallies on my campus. It lets me know other people care and are trying to work for change. It is an image of unity and strength in the face of oppression.

Saying unironically "Why don't they just protest peacefully?" is either one of two things: very privileged or very ignorant

"A liberal is someone who opposes every war except the current war and supports all civil rights movements except the one that's going on right now." Phillip Gourevitch really nailed it.

Also, as a Jew myself, the idea that protesting Israel is antisemitic would be hilarious if it weren't so sad. For one, tons of us do not and have never supported it. For another, people seem to forget that Arab Palestinians are, in fact, also Semitic people. (But then, these are the same people who insist on calling white people "Caucasian." Since when does the actual meaning of words matter?) Anyway, there are multiple reasons for a Jew not to support Israel. For one, many of the Jews who have historically supported it have been secular Jews who don't care about our faith or traditions whatsoever. For two, it's outright sinful to take back the Holy Land ourselves or rebuild our own Temple. Only the Messiah can do that. For three, and perhaps most importantly, especially now, we've been the victims of pogroms and genocides for hundreds and thousands of years; there's nothing more sad or disturbing than Jews doing to others what has been done to us. We've always been on the side of the oppressed standing against tyranny. This is not us, and anyone who thinks it is is someone I don't wish to be associated with.

Infinitely correct. The state of the world is utterly catastrophic due to liberalism. We literally burned our planet due to this system, and we cannot even provide decent lives to everybody in the richest countries in the world, even considering that we've been looting the global south for 200 years... This system is abysmal, the lowest point of humanity, ever.

In France, we have a name for this kind of people, "l'extrême centre".

For most of the world, the word "liberal" doens't mean leftist but capitalist. I'm a french socialist and have always hated "les libéraux", especially néo-libs.

This reminds me of one of my best friends. A very open-minded guy, very empathetic. Happens to be American, but the minute there was some violence around the BLM protests. He turned his back, claiming that the methods weren’t correct, but yet, he also doesn’t believe that the Democratic process will change anything either, And he doesn’t believe in strikes. So it’s very frustrating to know what to say to a person like that. You don’t believe that the Democratic process will change anything, which I can understand at this point. You don’t believe that strikes are appropriate because it disrupts peoples day, and you think that a protest or March is illegitimate immediately, because some violence happens, when it is all filtered to you by the same media who wants to shut it all down. Basically you end up being a person who doesn’t like the way the world is and has closed up all options of doing anything about it as inappropriate
