This makes hasans choice of political ideology make a lot more sense. ...vaush too. There is no way hasan would ever have had any success in life if it wasn't handed to him, and I'm sure he knows it deep down.
It also explains Marx. If you study his life, he was the prototypical hipster of his time, just like Vaush and Hasan. It only makes sense complete failures and slackers would flock to this ideology that just continues to crank out excuses for them.
... Obviously. They latch onto whatever they can. They're the type of personality that would collaborate with barbarians in order to rule over the ashes of their fellow man.
There's a maintenance crisis too. Things break and stay broken, sometimes for months because there are not enough people trained to fix things anymore.
Keeping it brief, but I got into engineering, ran all the way through a PhD, spent 4 years in academia after that, left that due to politics and BS, and now I mostly do machine repair and diagnostics for industry (CNC machines, machine tools, etc.). I largely took over work done by awesome techs who aged out, and I take the smaller clients (like job shops) that can't afford the gouge prices OEMs spit at them. I'm way happier doing this than being stuck behind a desk. But it sure looks weird from my perspective. Most of the time I'm flying blind and reverse-engineering stuff. A lot of equipment stays broken because nobody is left who knows what to do with it, or the OEM walked away from their product, or both. I do what I can, but I only have 2 hands.
My dad's an airline mechanic. He says the quality of mechanics is going down some. But worse is the beauracratic managing of mechanics and new systems with bloat and shit design.
@Kirtahl I've seen some of what your father is talking about. I work for an FBO in California and we have to deal with Sky West maintenance, sometimes referred to as Sky Worst or The Clown Show.
I think most times it's not even a matter of training. The maintenance guys need someone to report/log that something is broke so they can go fix it but no one writes it up because either they can't recognize that something is wrong or when it is it's then logged as having broke under their watch. While not officially tallied you can bet your ass if you're that person always reporting stuff is broken the highers ups and the maintenance guys start to think you're the one abusing the equipment and causing them to break and costing them money. People just don't report that something is broken until there's a catastrophic failure.
I'm a South African and you've just described the last thirty years of my countries' history. Apartheid (the rule of the white minority ) ended in 1994 and the new black-majority government immediately started an aggressive affirmative action campaign in order to "transform" the economy. People were put into management and technical positions they were completely unqualified to hold solely because of their race and loyalty to the new ruling party. Things weren't to bad at first because momentum kept the system going, but now the major city in which I live has routine electricity and water outages because the infrastructure in collapsing and unemployment is north of 30%. Even suggesting that we should hire the most competent people to keep the system going will get you branded as a right-wing extremest. Behold where this thinking will lead you!
What's happening in South Africa is truly tragic. I read about a town that set their own system to generate power and were able to eliminate blackouts, but the central government shut them down because they said it wasn't fair to the other towns (more likely, they just wanted to maintain the state power company's monopoly and authority). It's frustrating that so many people have to suffer to sooth a few people's egos.
You c-nts stole the vast majority of useable land and kept the economy exactly the same as it was under apartheid and your illiterate ass has the nerve to blame affirmative action for SA's problems?! You freak.
While watching this video and hearing him saying that the competency crisis is overblown, I immediately thought of SA. The competency crisis has more merit than SFO is granting it, I believe.
You're practically a neo-nazi you apartheid supporting fuck. Meaning you're probably lying or are too stupid to assess reality. Colonial legacies still control the economy and you freaks diverted resources from maintenance and use that as an excuse to bring back apartheid rule.
and here I am, a very skilled 34 year old, associates degree in diesel technology and 7 years in the field. Applied for several mechanic jobs in my region and have been denied every single one (usually you don't even get a no they just leave you hanging). Then my local paper has the balls to run an article saying "nobody wants to work at the saw mill" so I went to apply there for one of their several entry level positions and was told "I'm over qualified" and my favorite " I wouldn't be happy working here". MF'er it's not about happiness it's about MONEY I will be homeless in two months if I can't find a job. They don't care. They need an idiot apparently. The guy I bought my house from is a tweaker (I found all his drug baggies that fell under the cabinet I remodeled, the house was in shambles and I get court summons and derelict bills for him monthly in mail box) and guess where he works? THE FUC*ING MILL.
You poor chap. That’s really rough. 😢 I’m extremely grateful to have plenty of work for myself (I’m just a teacher in Japan) Whether you’re a Christian or not, I pray that you’ll get a good job and show those people that you really do work honestly and steadfastly, happy or not!
“I want to work here” “Your overqualified” “I don’t care” “But you won’t be happy working here” “I don’t care I need money” “Go away, we’re doing this for you”
I have to wonder if the job market is so screwed up that basic industry is scared of hiring. What you describe *shouldn't* ever be happening. On the face of things, this is entirely paradoxical. Clearly we need another factor here, and I don't think your factory towns are that big on pushing DEI bollocks at the level you want to apply to. My thought is thus. They're worried that you'll be an employee who is not object oriented. If they have a critical issue, you'll be the one to question orders, slow down the system by knowing not just how to do your job but how to do your managing of your job. In a system of high trust, this is all cream, no downsides. But in a system of low trust, HR knows there is a very much not insignificant chance you can out HR HR. Ergo the paradox of no hires and no workers. The druggie is loyal because he's not smart enough to cause problems that could sink a division. With the economy not doing hot, risk is the last thing any business wants to take on. I'll flat tell you your best option is to try and put that degree to work yourself. It sucks, but when a society declines in trust, as Dev stated, everyone is worse off, and this is one of the symptoms.
start marking black on your applications and if they give you any crap sue them for questioning your chosen identity! they made the rules now it's time we start playing by them.
How fitting! "Stalin" literally means the Iron Man, the name he received because of his successful industrialisation efforts. Yes, the country paid for it in millions of dead people, but fear not, cause the communist utopia is always just a few purges away.
Well, see, they used to want to do that part too. I remember reading essays when I was in high school about how companies should actually hire less competent minorities and then spend time and money training them to the level of competency needed for the job. They just skip that second part now, because it's cheaper to hire incompetents and then pay competent people to do their work too.
What's terrifying to me is every discipline I've applied myself to, I've been "competent" within a year. Not because I was actually that good at it, but because the standards for knowledge were so low that someone who legitimately applied their brain to it for a mere year jumped up the competency ladder past people phoning it in and just following protocol. There's not enough people spending the time to seriously engage with things and gain deeper understanding so they can easily think critically in that domain.
When it comes to jobs, it depends whether there's a reason to care. If the job itself isn't so vital to society that perfect understanding is required, and if said employee is satisfied with their current position, whether they simply don't care to be promoted or because they plan to only be at that job temporarily, their may not be much of a reason to put much effort in. Why bother trying very hard at a retail job? You won't get promoted, and it only serves a temporary purpose that isn't very vital for society. I think the problem comes in when people adopt this mindset to jobs that actually are important, like construction or medical workers.
Competence is mostly a personal trait and not related to training or experience. Smart employers test for competence over education or experience in the field, because a basically competent person can figure things out fairly quickly and make up for the gap in experience. It’s why there is no evidence preschool helps anyone academically in the long term; any advantage you get learning to function at school before your peers is erased by about the 2nd grade because it just doesn’t take that long for most kids to figure out how to write simple words or carry the one,
Some of us are fully aware of the Peter principle and deliberately avoid being promoted past a certain point. Because we know we're overqualified for our current position, but also know that we probably wouldn't excel very well in a higher position. And the extra stress just isn't worth the mild increase in pay/benefits. We also hide our power levels a lot because if we show that we can do extra work by pushing ourselves, then management will just come to expect that as the norm instead of a temporary unsustainable boost.
"Its not that bad." Unless you're a passenger and it happens, then it becomes the ultimate bad in existence trumping all other issues till you either die or not.
I mean, shark attacks are pretty rare, but people who survive them often develop a fear of the ocean. I'm sure it's deeply traumatic on a personal level to be involved in one of these incidents, but air travel is still the safest mode of transportation- and even if diversity hires made crashes/malfunctions TWICE as likely (it hasn't) then it'd still be the safest method.
@@harambe4267 We don't want ANY crashes at all. But that was just a hypothetical, as there actually hasn't been any statistically noticeable increase in airline deaths. Meaning that either 1) The diversity hires aren't meaningfully causing any negative effects. 2) They are, but the competent people in the system are creating more progress than the incompetents are creating regression. Or 3) There's a lot of inertia in the system.
that's what i was thinking. this stuff is deathly serious, literally. it only takes one plane crash and kill a hundred or so people, and that's not a worthy price to allow some people to feel nice about themselves.
One of the biggest reasons why a majority of african airlines are banned from flying to europe and north america is specifically because of serious concerns over pilot competency because a lot of those airlines have race based promotion and hiring practices that include hiring quotas. Those practices have resulted in dozens of truly horrific plane crashes including one where a pilot who openly expressed a desire to not be alive anymore and was allowed to pilot a flight that had more than 100 passengers onboard. Said pilot intentionally crashed the flight into swampland near the airport, killing everyone, including himself. It never got any coverage outside of africa though.
Jesus Christ, I knew that these diversity quotas were going to hire incompetent people, but straight up suicidal? Disgustingly negligent. Over 100 preventable deaths and BLM still hasn’t said shit about this either. I’d love a link to that story if you got it.
I was born poor. I've been poor my entire life. I'll probably die poor. But that doesn't mean I hate those who have more than me. That doesn't mean I want them dead, that doesn't mean I want to steal what they have. Because what would the point of that be?
Yeah. Single mother with no job and no extended family kid here. The only thing I will inheret is more debt from her Im sure. But Im still right leaning because it was her left leaning entitlement complex that got me in this stupid situation to begin with. I love it when my bro and I literally pay for her everything but she yells at us about being deadbeats for not making more because we are men and men have life on easy mode. In BC Canada no less. I swear she is lucky Im patient to a fault.
@@Xplora213 I'm so sick of people like you thinking the solution is a mindset. She's female, my bro and I are male, we're in Canada. Guess who is the badguy if she puts on the tears no matter what? Already been there, before I was even 18. After? ffs,
21:30 The moving of the kulak's definition only really reminds me of the inverse where Bernie was framed as a "millionaire against the billionaires" when they changed the target from "the rich" to "the ultra-rich."
It's like when Jon Boyega came out quoting A Bug's Life and trying to get the poor to attack his enemies. My friend, you were a headlining actor in the biggest film franchise in history, shut the fuck up.
Nope. They will never admit they fucked up. They will find some way to blame straight white men when two diverse women accidentally crash a plane into a building.
@@ShortFatOtakuThe competency crisis in aviation won’t start in the cockpit, but in the hangar where airplanes are being maintained and in the cubicle where they’re being designed. The issues with Boeing now are a direct result of the competency crisis as they shed their engineering based leadership for the profit driven McDonnell/Douglass one when the two companies merged. McDonnell/Douglass had so many problems with the DC-10 and other airframes due to poor management that they were driven into bankruptcy. Maintenance work on airplanes has been slipping up at a steadily accelerating rate to the point now where there’s an incident of some sort hitting the news fairly commonly now. You will see an uptick in major accidents as a result of these maintenance issues long before the cockpit gets “diversified.”
The theory that “academia is Leftist because the Left is smarter” falls apart when you learn to what extent essentially all of the best higher education was conservative by any modern standard, from the first creation of the university (by Christians) until roughly the 1950s and ‘60s. The Ivy League schools were basically seminaries, built to help men of God become well-rounded servants. And it was in this context that they earned the reputations that are now associated with their names. The association of higher learning with progressivism, on the other hand, correlates with the gradual squandering of those reputations.
Academia is leftist because they kicked up a stink at facing ideas they don't like and ended up getting inch, after inch, to create a mile, to the point where all the faculty is either those raving leftists, or people so scared that the second they speak out, they will be cancelled and made a black sheep, unhireable anywhere. You only need to see the *ahem* "intelligence" of the people leaving higher education these days. It might as well be like saying in Futurama, when Fry is in a robot asylum, therefore he must be a robot.
And the infiltration by socialists. The biggest issue is that the silent gen and boomers told their kids to not enter these bureaucratic institutions and instead pursue CEO status and corporate careers by any means necessary. Sell your small business to the first corporation to present a number followed by six 0s. The push for corporatism killed America’s middle class and market system, and allowed for the infiltration of its institutions.
In grece the word stated is literally called κράτος. In fact lot of words have that root not olny in greek but also in latin and english. Aristocracy,beraucracy, meritocracy, democracy, all that translates to power of the elite,state, competent and so on.
@@Seldomheardabout those come later when the company is in panic mode after the pilots left because of bad pay and long hours. ESG is nearly always a consequence of bad management, not a cause in itself
If you fire the competent, educated white man - there's no need to argue about a wage gap because you can pay everyone less? Just spitballing as to why the corpos think that ESG compliance will lead to profits.
@@marcogenovesi8570 Many pilots 'retired' because they were forced to get the jab to keep flying, I don't know many that complained about the pay/hours, that came after the 'retirees' thinned the ranks.
32:15 another thing to note is that a lot of academics aren't actually that intelligent, they gain their positions by prestige seeking and simply parroting whatever the dominant ideology is. This doesn't happen in the hard sciences as the standards are much higher but it is rampant in the social sciences. Take this thought experiment, I studying a social sciences degree, I'm slightly above average in intelligence but struggle with maths. So I just write a half assed paper, throw some buzzwords like intersectionality in and I'm published because I'm catering to the biases of my peers. The inherent flaw within peer review is that it is being reviewed by people who have some interest in preserving their own positions and therefore are more likely to approve papers they themselves agree with
This is the source of a crisis in academia where well over 90% of published scientific papers can’t be replicated under identical circumstances. This again is even worse in the social sciences, but this problem has even manifested itself in the hard sciences.
It's starting to occur in the some Hard sciences like Medicine, my field. Low competency researchers are pivoting from hard Research to safe research with Mickey mouse results. You won't believe the number of studies on the effects of Drug -X on "insert marginalized group" (real or perceived). And they're all qualitative studies meant to bypass Academic journal filters. And they have limited scope and even less clinical significance. Research conducted solely for moral posturing.
The problem with your analysis, Dev, is that in urban environments, the collapse in competence has already happened. New York is already ruined - the evidence is now the subway is filled with military personnel. Baltimore is ruined. Detroit is ruined (and collapsed over a decade ago). (I should know, I live in Metro Detroit) Every major city is in some state of ruin. This isn't exclusive to the US, either. Ottawa, Victoria, Montreal, London (UK), etc are all in various states of ruin. This is part of what Arch and Sargon were trying to tell you last week. In just the last 10 years, Hollywood has been ruined. The major Gaming studios have been ruined, and are in various states of collapse. Vice is destroyed. Most of gaming journalism has been ruined. Most of the higher education in the USA has been ruined. Large swaths of US industry is in various states of ruin, particularly, but not exclusively, in Tech. Scott Adams was told in the 80's he wouldn't be promoted in telecom as he didn't have the right skin color or sex organs. The collapse has ALREADY happened, Dev. Once the banking industry hits its final stages of collapse, we're going to have another great depression, as our governments and banks are led by the most insane leftist fools, Just like 100 years ago.
The bank runs are already starting, and we will likely be full digital by 2030. I actually think we will see a controlled depression though. Ubi cards that are only valid to purchase approved items such as tobacco, alcohol, McDonald's, etc. placating the cattle into ignoring their slaughter.
Don't worry. The military personnel is just as incompetent. And it kills even more men. Just to afford more privilege to self-obsessed wahmen. And to virtue-signal even more.
Lol'd at the GAMING JOURNALISM. As with any journalism, it is an entirely parasitic enterprise, it feeds on the subject it writes about. They form a symbiotic circle, what happens to one will affect the other, you must understand this!
@@pbkobold Honestly I think we're at the point where some industries are starting to come 'round from the activist mindset of the last decade or so. Places that went balls deep like big tech, entertainment and the media are now feeling the effects of embracing a radical ideology. All are haemorrhaging jobs and it's only a matter of time until they either divest themself of 'woke' or get replaced by companies that are managed by competent people. Things feel really bad now but, sooner or later, the money to be able to drive these agenda's isn't going to be there any more. Investors are going to get bored of flushing millions of dollars down the drain.
I work in aviation and have worked in the industry for over 20 years in a variety of roles. "Diversity" instead of competence WILL get people hurt or killed. This is an industry where competence is absolutely vital, as those crews have dozens to hundreds of lives in their hands. I've already seen the kind of incompetence DEI initiatives breeds and they've caused nothing but trouble and headaches for everyone else. I talk with United, Delta and Alaska pilots on a near daily basis and they all tell a similar story...DEI is a deathtrap.
what is insane is.. everyhitng was worknig naturally.. and then we just went into the darkest timeline. you did get the best of the best .. hard working people ni like the 80s90s etc.. ilke everythnig was diverse and it felt natural.. when i watch movies, etc.. it all lokos so natural.. and everyone is doing their best.. and it wasn't natural then either.. but the right people WERE getting the jobs.. even in the arts.. black actors were really good.. asian were realyl good ( i had no idea pat morita was a stand up comedian and he doesn't even really speak japanese)../ you had black asian, hispanic cops.. tc.. it was al lnatural.. ben carson is the first brain surgeon to do surgery on conjointed twins.. dei can't do that.. thats SKILL.. as for white people.. theyr'e equallly as bad.. cause they're the front runners pushing all this stuff.. its just we're in a dark time ilne.. and maybe everything has to collapse.. fly asian. can garantee the plane will at least get there lol
Boeing has proven your point on the engineering side while the steadily increasing maintenance issues are proving you correct inside the hangar. People focus on the cockpit because that’s the “glamorous” part, but the real source of the competency crisis will be in the engineer’s cubicle or inside the hangar.
@@onionfarmer3044sure, you can teach kids what it means to be poor and grateful for what they have, but without the experience, creating impactful understanding is an uphill struggle. It's just something that happens to other people. I wouldn't say the Noble was really taught about poverty. They are a managerial class. They are taught to do their jobs, which is making sure the territory is in working order because it is intrinsically linked to their status and power, and failure to do so could be fatal in many ways.
@@AmericanAdvancement Exactly. That also highlights a massive problem with those calling for and imposing these initiatives onto us. They have an extremely pedestrian view of what really goes on in these industries which truly makes them work.
Hey, Dev. I don't know if you know this, but kakistocracy as a method of control isn't unique to left-wing or even modern political movements. I noticed in this video that you only mentioned it in socialist/far-left wing politics (which is fine bc it was probably outside the scope of your original idea), but kakistocracy was actually quite common during the days of the collapse of the western roman empire. Roman Emperors never had explicitly clear rules for succession because many roman emperors got their power through military coups. Because of this, anyone with the loyalty of enough legions could overthrow the current emperor without any meaningful problems with legitimacy or legality. In order to combat this potential danger, many roman emperors installed incompetent (but loyal) governors to the proveniences so that they couldn't challenge their own power, but hastening the collapse of the empire in the process. Just something I wanted you to know.
@@kingofcards9516 Well, it was during the reign of Diocletian that this problem would first be addressed. One of Diocletian's many reforms was to internally divide the existing provinces of the empire into new provinces, effectively doubling the number of governors and diluting their power over the same amount of resources and wealth. While this did make the governance of the empire significantly more complicated, it limited the power of each individual governor, making it significantly less possible for a competent governor to raise enough support to overthrow the emperor. This idea of internally dividing the empire to weaken the power of local leaders would reach its zenith in the Tetrarchy, where the empire itself would be divided into eastern and western roman empires and ruled by 4 "co-emperors".
It was Diocletian's reforms that largely lead to the end of the Crisis of the Third Century and allowed the roman empire to continue surviving for centuries longer than it should have.
Didn't he mention it in passing for dictatorships more generally? My first thought was actually arab militaries, and in hindsight Russia's too, where the leadership is kept incompetent to minimize the threat of a coup.
and the biggest factor he didn't even cover, basically what "Idiocracy" was about, and even that was too optimistic. We have no democratic solution for this.
@@priapulidaDemocracy is what got us into this mess in the first place. People have always and will always vote in their own self interest. America started off with a white, landed voting base because it was easy to see that those people will have an interest in maintaining stability in the nation if for no other reason than their property values will decline if crises happen. This idea over time resulted in the civil war because “all men are created equal with certain unalienable rights” is incompatible with just landed whites having the right to vote. The 15th amendment was passed to rectify this issue and, for a time, things progressed as normal until the KKK succeeded in suppressing the right to vote. This would not be rectified until the civil rights act a century later. Industrialization began in the aftermath of the civil war. This prompted people to move into the cities en mass for a better job, but crowded cities and nonexistent labor laws caused a lot of people to bend towards socialism to help their lot in life. Reformers like Teddy Roosevelt came in and reformed the system, but he would never have been elected had the idea of landed remained (it was gradually phased out prior to the civil war by various states). Eventually you got to the point where women were starting to fight for the right to vote and they succeeded in 1920. This time was different however as women were the first enfranchised group in American history to be given the right to vote without the responsibility of having to sign up for the draft and being required to fight the war they voted for (whether or not they should is a debate for another comment). What’s important is that this opened the door for what’s going on today. People are no longer anchored down to the consequences of their vote. If you’re a leftist that has a bit of money then you can vote for policies that, over time, destroy a city/state and move onto the next locality while leaving the mess you caused behind like a locust. Cities like New York, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New Orleans and states like California, New York, Illinois, Washington, Oregon, and Massachusetts are among the many victims of this process. Ironically enough, it’s the Uber wealthy (read multi-millionaire to billionaire class) who gets the short end of the stick here IF they have any property in these places as their property values crash due to a lack of people wanting to buy. Hotels have abandoned their buildings in San Francisco since no one wants to buy and property values are dirt cheap in Detroit for obvious reasons.
@@AmericanAdvancement I am with you, but what I mean isn't just an American problem, it's a civilizational problem: how do we incentivize smart people to breed more
you're strawmanning the right, Dev. The simple colorblindness that you advocate for in this video is exactly what I see basically everyone on the right asking for.
You're completely wrong about Stalin. He was absolutely a doctrinaire communist. I don't know how the impression that he was a gifter came to so common. He was also literate who read a lot of and formulated theory. Point being he was a true believer not just some violent oaf who lucked into power.
He was also a student of history and had read up on how the semi-communist regime in France was overthrown by Napoleon. It’s why he decided to purge the officer class to the point where the red army was unable to hold off the initial advance during operation Barbarossa.
The idea that he's a grifter is Leftist gaslighting. First they deny what he did. When that doesn't work, they claim CIA/Capitalist sabotage. When that doesn't work, they claim he wasn't a REAL Communist because his policies would have worked if he were.
It's a defense for communism, using the "real communism hasn't been tried!" argument, as if Stalin was a grifter he clearly couldn't have led a "true" communist regime
He was the kind of socialist that pursued the communist dream with near-zero compromise. And it turns out that led to alot of executions, exiles and maximizing the strength of the state over its citizenry, which every socialist state deems necessary to drive progress. It's why Western Marxists hated him, it's because he has their ideology but put to the pedal and has forever tainted their viewpoints.
Dev failed to understand one key part of this. If you are seeing the effects, its too late. You can fire all the ineffecive people you want but those positions need to be filled and the training for them takes time. Nearly 20 years, to be precise. This has been a process going on for at minimum 2 decades though its arguable to be a many as 7, and it will take atleast 2 decades of concerted effort to undo it. Because what you are seeing is the final stages of problem not the start of it. Those pilots? Thats the ends point. Before that was trainings programs, higher eduction, and internal school programs all of whicth they displaced a legitimatly qualified person for. And the same momentum that has kept the sustem running till now. Will keep it degenerating until the new wave of compitnetly trained people come in.
Exactly, which is why problems never look so bad at first- until they do. Like bankruptcy: it happens very slowly, and then all at once. But I believe in the profit motive and the invisible hand of the market. Right now, large corporations can get away with this navel gazing regarding DEI and the like. Eventually, smaller, nimbler, more creative companies will outmaneuver them. I don't necessarily see a future of total societal collapse unless the free market is shuttered in this country (USA).
@@JalrealI don't see smaller outfits out-maneuvering anyone because the corporate capture of regulatory agencies has ensured it's way too expensive of the small outfits. Just look at how much competition the lockdowns wiped out while the big players fattened their stacks. The competition at this point will come from outside the American sphere.
I also arrived at the '20 years to correct' summation. That seems to be the historic norm. I'll also be sterile in twenty years, so I'm probably emigrating now.
There is a crisis and its more than just a talking point, but what most dont realize is that the crisis is a slow burn, still serious but not something you can truthfully call an immediate collapse. We are and will pay the price for this more and more, incrementally every day.
This. People like to say nostalgia for better times has always happened and people always complained about the youth but we do have the empirical evidence that decay is happening on many levels and in many areas.
"Everything naturally drifts to the left over time" Definitely doesn't imply a positive, anymore than saying "My room naturally becomes dirty over time"
I had a professor in college that we all figured was a diversity hire. She was from Jordan and could not teach. Many lectures were about how you would fail the course if you plagiarized anything while she read off slides that had other professor's names on them. Maybe she was good at research or something, but that's a side none of us saw. All we got was a professor who phoned in every lecture and graded projects arbitrarily. Of course, retrospect has made me glad I had to deal with her. I learned how to deal with poor middle management before I had to.
10:23 It's not just genetics, it's environmental factors. A skilled blacksmith is more likely to raise skilled blacksmiths than someone who's never been around a forge in their lives. Not because of genetics, but environment. The problem with power being granted in this way is that abuse of power is more likely when it wasn't earned through hard work.
"Its not THAT big of a issue" is often followed later by "No one could have seen this coming." Id rather we adress the issues today, becuase they become tragedys tomorrow.
I understand your claim. Yet, if we look at _their_ study and understanding of history, they place the rise of 'capitalism' (really what they mean is settled civilisation) at the start of agriculture. Land ownership. This ownership begot other 'ownership' such as wives, their own children, slaves, etc and the expansion of private property as people developed new technologies. The rise of structures to protect ownership and the establishment of a class system. To me they appear to admire the pastoralists or, even better in their view, the hunter-gatherers who didn't practice animal domestication and ownership. Basically people who owned little more than what they could carry in their hands and on their backs and heads as they moved around foraging: some basic tools and a cooking pot. They shared whatever was gathered that day. The lived communally. Women had power. Children were raised by everyone. 'It takes a village!' Do the socialists want to be hunter-gatherers? No, I don't think so. But they want its socio-economic structure to govern the modern, (post)industrial world. Yep, bonkers. _'Since the advent of civilization, the outgrowth of property has been so immense, its forms so diversified, its uses so expanding and its management so intelligent in the interests of its owners, that it has become, on the part of the people, an unmanageable power. The human mind stands bewildered in the presence of its own creation. The time will come, nevertheless, when human intelligence will rise to the mastery over property, and define the relations of the state to the property it protects, as well as the obligations and the limits of the right of its owners. The interests of society are paramount to individual interests, and the two must be brought into just and harmonious relations. A mere property career is not the final destiny of mankind, if progress is to be the law of the future as it has been of the past. The time which has passed away since civilization began is but a fragment of the past duration of man’s existence; and but a fragment of the ages yet to come. The dissolution of society bids fair to become the termination of a career of which property is the end and aim; because such a career contains the elements of self-destruction. Democracy in government, brotherhood in society, equality in rights and privileges and universal eduction foreshadow the next higher plane of society to which experience, intelligence and knowledge are steadily tending. It will be a revival in a higher form, of the liberty, equality and fraternity of the ancient gentes [primitive pre-class society].'_ That was from Lewis Henry Morgan, an influential figure in the mid- to late-19th century; his book, _Ancient Society_ , was published in 1877. Yeah, it's 'noble savage' bollocks. His book is available to read online for free. If you recognise the surname Morgan, yes, he was a member of _that_ Morgan family: New England/New York 'brahmins'. In his introduction to the 1982 re-publication, Debiprasad Ghattpadhyaya writes: 'Marx and Engels owed their first full knowledge of the primitive pre-class society [to Morgan]. While lifting the veil on the past, Morgan revealed also an inspiring vision of the future.' He adds, 'However, though from the point of view of the analysis of the economic and social laws of the last phase of class society making room for the classless society, the writings of Marx and Engels are incomparably richer than that of Morgan, nevertheless, they were basically indebted to the discovery of Morgan for their own fuller understanding of the dialectics of social development. Hence Morgan’s researches have in an important sense been incorporated into the fabric of the Marxist sociology.' Is this true? Aren't the socialists all about uplifting the proletariat [the industrial worker]? The development of massive industrial plants 'owned' by the workers? Yes, but no. Or no longer. Who do they get most gushy about nowadays? Indigenous people, especially those who were not animal herding pastoralists. Australia's Aborigines, for example. The tribes of the Amazon rainforest. For Morgan it was the Iroquois. He and his well-to-do cohort created rites of inindianation in which they were transformed spiritually into Iroquois. Yes, this cosplay larping has been going on a long time. The socialists are people who chant 'no borders' yet celebrate the unaliving of a fella who tried to visit the North Sentinalese people, likely the most primitive and least contacted indigenous group. These are their sacred people. Hence, all their guff about 'indigenous ways of knowing'; their disparagement of time and maths and settlers and the nuclear family. The invocation of 'land acknowledgements' before gatherings. Australia even held a referendum to award the indigenous a 'voice' over all legislation, i.e. a veto. 'It's only about laws that affect them' the supporters claimed. All laws affect all people, do they not? About 40 per cent of the voting public fell for this deceit. Can you imagine the socialists giving such overwhelming power to anyone else? 'It's all about equality for everyone. Oh, by the way, this special group gets a veto.' It was an attempt to establish an aristocracy (under the thumb of the socialists) because the aboriginal 'leaders' who would have run the council are mostly part-aboriginal urbanites with advanced educations in crackpot studies. Really the proletariat (and the peasants, though they were a lesser concern) were just a mass of bodies to be used like other so-called marginalised groups who form the socialists' meat shields today.
i know that the diversity push in the airline industry may seem to be new but as a aspiring pilot its very hard to find scholarships if you arent a minority
@@npcimknot958yes the progs ignore the Asians because you guys had the same tough start as all the other minorities but now you're successful - even the Pinoy do well here. Same for the Irish, Italians, Poles. etc. Every 'minority' who makes it just gets rebranded as part of the majority. They even call Asians 'White-Adjacent' now.
Honestly, one of the biggest myths is said in this video. All the documents, all the recordings of Stalin when he wasn't in public really shows... he was an absolute devotee of communism. The denunciation of his society isn't that it was run by grifters. We can denounce it because it was in fact run by true believers. If all Stalin wanted was to be self serving he wouldn't have left seminary (which had him hurtling toward one of the branches of Aristocracy in the society he lived in.) He wouldn't have dedicated 20 years to being a revolutionary and suffer for it like he did.
A true believer in _what?_ In _whom?_ Have you ever tried doing anything in your life without a crystal clear and precise goal with a precise list of actions to it? Let alone have other people rally behind you? It's a nightmare, nothing gets done whatsoever. Unlike Lenin, "Stalin" is a non-person, his biography doesn't make sense at all. He just suddenly appeared out of the shadows and took reigns. And nobody could do nothing about him! It's not like he had a scary band of thousands loyal Georgian thugs or anything, everyone else just respected his belief in a non-specific communistic vision of abstract progress, I guess? Ridiculous. One British writer wrote a satirical book exposing "Stalin", I think, maybe you've heard of it? He died a year after publishing it.
@@varvarvarvarvarvar he... didn't come out of nowhere? He was publishing papers for 20 years? As time would go on He would write about how leninism is the most correct application of dialectical materialism in dissecting the situation at the time and why leninism was the ideal path forward. Even confronting lenins mistake of trying to just abolish money right away nearly destroying the whole country resulting in the new economic plan. One of the things Twitter marxists do is try to lie ans say Stalin was a betrayal of leninism. NO. Leninism believed that there needed to be a "vanguard party" with "class conciousness" to take the reigns. He believed this was nessisary because the general population was of the culture that thought private property ect were normal and acceptable. Therefore they would reproduce capitalism after the revolution... which is really what they did after the tsar was overthrown but before he came to power. Same problems, different head of state. However it's important to note that the vanguard party mentality basically means that only those vetted as true faithful believers in marxism should be allowed to make decisions. This is by its very nature anti democratic. It's also how Lenin won the Civil War. His enemies be it the whites or the anarchists were all divided but his faction was absolutely totally unified. Stalin just continued to reinforce leninism, reinforce the vanguard party's control. No anti party dissent was tollerated.
@@dallassegno Making up bs about Stalin, saying that he wasn't a true communist is just pro Lenin bs propaganda. "Communism is great! Stalin was just a liar." No, both of them were men who truly believed and ran societies that did not give one damn about the the people in it.
@@varvarvarvarvarvar I have no clue who you are talking about, there's a lot of people who wrote about Stalin throughout the years. He didn't come out of nowhere and had published works (and public feuds within the commuinist movement) for years. He wasn't a betrayal of Leninism, he was the ultimate manifestation of it. Leninism is a "vanguard party" movement. In essence Lenin believed that the average person in the Empire was so accultured to capitalism, property ect that if he allowed them to have a say they would just reproduce the old system with a new coat of paint after the revolution. This was pre war theorizing but when the bread riots turned into revolution that's exactly what happened and Lenin overthrew that government. Stalin just reinforced the idea of the vanguard party to the ultimate degree. Nobody who was outside of the party (ie not ideologically "pure" ) was allowed to have a direct say in the way society was run. This was to "preserve the revolution." Communists preach about "democracy" but ultimately their very ideals are anti democratic. Stalin didn't betray the revolution, he WAS the revolution. Stalin's program was based upon the early 1918 experience when Lenin tried to abolish money and that turned out disastrously. The NEP became the new first step in the new plan. What's horrifying about the Holodomor wasn't that he had this problem with Ukrainians it was that he calculated, ruthlessly that this was his only chance to buy the technology transfer from the west. In the 1920s the west wouldn't trade with the Soviets, but the great depression made the west desperate and willing to trade and the only thing the Soviets had to trade was Ukrainian grain...
"from the outside you would be forgiven for thinking news orgs coordinated their coverage" dev you have covered gamergate extensively its entirely likely that other parts of the news are also infested with similar issues
Dev, the issue with management is what you mentioned earlier, often management isn't half as competent as they need to be but doesnt realize or acknowledge it and if they do, it makes them sabotage those they fear are could replace them. When there is broken equipment, parts shortages, no communication to the in house machine shop for scheduling, no employee other than the machinist that understands the 70 year old equipment, out of tolerance parts from outside vendors for decades and no updated design/print, a mouse infestation so bad they eat the bags of chips at the vending area, training manuals for assemblers that have blurry pictures and no words not 'no english' no WORDS and they relied on that to train people to assemble, losing 60% of their labor force and being unable to find a machinist that didn't run away screaming from the facility tour for THREE YEARS because they mutilated and poisoned the last two by being incompetent is all MANAGEMENTS RESPONSIBILITY. Dont defend those who fall upstairs just because its impressive they got up there, realize its an escalator running on the competency of those "beneath them."
I've been a CCNA for 8 years now. I'm by no means perfect, but I have to stress, there is a HORRIFYING amount of old tech holding up critical infra. I know a man who works for ATT. Regarding the recent phone outages, he tells me this was a result of a failure to do a system rollback. The person in question was a recent hire. There are older systems than I running the place I work at, and I don't know how to work them. Not because I'm incompetent, but ALSO because the knowledge for those older systems are not being archived, OR harder to get hold of (because older computer tech didn't have its resources stored digitally and easily accessible. In 40k's lore, there's a period of time known as the "Dark Age of Technology", which was (in reality) the closet to the Star Trek utopia that universe got to. After the apocalypse happened, you the the Imperium of Man, which, while powerful, is NOWHERE NEAR what humanity used to have. For the love of god, you have the Mechanicus, a religious caste that literally worships computers and machines because (while they do have a BASIC understanding of them, fundamentally don't understand the machines and thus think they are gods. If we EVER become a spacefaring civilization, we are destined for 40k, minus the cosmic horrors Pin for actually being relevant
"You would be forgiven for thinking its an coordinated thing." From back a decade ago when someone leaked it, we know that they have their groups where they talk to each other and coordinate stuff.
It seemed to me that airlines disseminated their DIE material in a painfully ignorant attempt to cover up the news of engineering and staff shortcomings (maybe to offset investor confidence), but it backfired splendidly.
The place that you’re going to see DEI creep into the aviation industry won’t be the cockpit, but in the hangar with maintenance personnel (see the mechanical issues that have cropped up as of late), Air Traffic Control (the controller who was arguing with the pilot about how to fly the plane), and the engineering desk (Boeing’s problems with the newer 737’s and other airframes). All of these roles are vital, yet don’t have such high standards to get into that, through force of merit, would otherwise keep them out like pilots.
Dev, you're wrong, the airline diversity initiative and the aircraft safety decline are absolutely related. It's affecting maintenance crews too, and the old guard, the people that have been doing aviation maintenance for 50+ years, are retiring.

Typical response "It's not happening" to "It might be happening but it's not that serious" Just waiting for the final step "Well you're the problem for noticing" I consider myself a libertarian these days but you have to be wearing eclipse glasses not to see what is happening and what has been happening. The difference between Canada and the US is; people in the US are finally fed up.
Well, that and we fought a war for our country and some of us still remember that. I think that's genuinely what separates us from the rest of the Anglosphere: in the States there is still a deepseated mistrust for authority.
Depends on where you are in Canada. There was never an important western separatist movement in Canadian history until recently. The fact that even a minor one exists definitely means that people are fed up.
There's the idea that "the only virtue that matters in the political world is loyalty," which frankly shouldn't be true but unfortunately is. Really so many problems are caused by people refusing to be principled, only being moral as far as it benefits them. Almost like humanity needs religion or something. And not even real loyalty, just the guise of loyalty. So many examples of rulers infamous for paranoia being stabbed in the back in spite of trying to fill their courts with loyalists.
Not even religion. The majority of people need a fear of immediate consequences from those around them to do what's right. If they fear the person they'd need to act against more they won't do it.
Such is the weakness of tribalism. Every selfish douche wants an echo chamber of validation so that they can defeat all the other douches with echo chambers for dominance.
People need something to worship or else they will find something to worship. In the age of secularism, two new religions have sprung up: worship of the state and worship of the climate. Communism, and to a lesser extent socialism, hold the idea that, in the absence of an afterlife, the state must be given the authority to bring utopia on earth even if it means stacking bodies by the millions. Over 100 million have died as a direct result of communism. Climate change is another religion all in itself, with an origin story/garden of Eden (the climate pre civilization), the forbidden fruit/original sin (industrialization), a need for repentance (current climate policy), and the heretic (manmade climate change “deniers”). This one is far more dangerous because every policy that they push is anti human in one way or another and, if they can get away with it, would spell the end for billions of people. At least communism believed that humans were the most important resource even if it came at the cost of destroying the environment (Aral Sea vanishing).
@@AmericanAdvancement Your misunderstanding of climate change is incredible. Like it would be a hilarious satire if you didn't fully believe the nonsense you typed out.
@@kaminsod4077Climate change IS happening whether we are in control of it or not, but it seems as though you missed the point that I was trying to make entirely. My point is simple, people have turned it into a full blown religion in much the same manner that Michael Crichton tried to warn everyone about in his novel State of Fear. Deifying the problem and those responsible with identifying and “rectifying” it is counterproductive and will cost billions of lives.
Yeah it’s almost as if allowing women into the workforce has had a cascading negative affect over time…. Kind of like an aristocracy being mixed in with meritocracy. Oh wait, that’s exactly what happened.
So last week (Friday) I was rear ended and the car is unsafe to drive. That means I need a rental while it's being repaired. This is covered under my insurance policy. The car is a Honda Accord, which is classified as a full size sedan according to Enterprise. They call and ask me to provide them with a 48 hour notice prior to picking up the rental so they can ensure vehicle availability. I setup a drop off with the auto shop on Tuesday morning and notify enterprise I'll need the rental Thursday afternoon. I'm scheduling according to the notice they asked me to give them. They confirmed Tuesday morning a rental will be available Thursday afternoon. I arrive Thursday afternoon, and they attempted to put me in a compact car which will not accommodate the kids car seats I had in the Accord. They say it's because State Farm downgraded my rental. I call State Farm and they immediately reinstate a rental for a full size sedan. Enterprise has none available, so they put me in a pickup truck and tell me to come back over the weekend because full size sedans will be available. I call Saturday morning and over the phone "oh yes, we remember you, come on in, we have lots of full size sedans available" I arrive at the location and there was only one that they gave away to someone else prior to my arrival. At this point something that should have taken less than an hour had taken about 4 hours. I interacted with six people between State Farm and Enterprise. Between six people, none of them could seem to figure this out with a full week at this point. They upgraded me and sent me on my way. This is the competency crisis in a nutshell. (Just this last week's example)
Ever since Marx invented capitalism it's been on it's "late state". Funily enough Lenin and other thinkers of the time recognised it wasn't going to happen at all unless they caused it.
Dev: spends 44 minutes constructing a coherent argument for some right-wing issue Also Dev: "but I don't really believe it" Dev, i like you and your stuff but you frustrate me sometimes lol
The control tower woman was right. The pilot was incorrect about the definition of "short approach." It sounds bad that she Googled the term, but maybe she did so to make sure she wasn't mis-remembering something from her training. That is a scary exchange, but not for everyone's knee-jerk reasons.
Most Leftists I’ve come across IRL and online already view meritocracy as “right wing”, some even label it as a form of white supremacy. The latter of which is such a hilarious self-own I don’t even care to explain it lol
“Academia is Leftist because the Left is smarter" That is not true. At least not for Europe. Academia always had elitist elements, but that is true to every field in life. Merit is what generally prevails. not ideological association. That is why they need the diversity quotas. Meritocracy curbstomps everything else otherwise.
Fun fact: meritocracy throughout history is often re-instated by a class of eunuchs after they seize control of the institutions. And they are in a position to seize control because the institutions seek out eunuchs for their loyalty. IT'S PRONOUNCED MA'AM!
There was a joke from comedian Kyle Kinane that had the line "I was looking at the airplane with all the aeronautical expertise of a comedian." Turns out that could save your life.
"It's not that bad" - yet. The NHS here is undergoing a competency crisis for a number of reasons, but it's gotten to the point where A&E turned away a seizing teenager and 4 neurologists didn't check any bloodwork for a familial medical history of lacking B12 (seizures but no other symptoms relating to epilepsy can mean the lack of it). The kid is blind in one eye and can't walk right because it's taken weeks before her own mother decided to try the vitamin supplement after getting hold of bloodwork charts. The basic structures of what we rely on nowadays in society are crumbling.
The airplane malfunctions are just coincidence at this point, the industry still has competence. What worries me is the fact that the gatekeepers are gone and the meritless diversity hiring has started. At this stage the competency will only trend down as these people embed themselves and start making managerial decisions.
"At some point, life will present a challenge that flowery language cannot solve, and is then that people of substance, not of ideology, will show you they were right all along"
Yep because equality is not real anywhere God created things to be different and for difference races to be in competition with others just like in the animal kingdom different species do not mix and are not equal.@@wingsoffreedom3589
Another widespread example of competency crisis other than the Soviet Union is post-colonial Africa. In countries like Zimbabwe which have regimes inspired by Leninism, white farmers’ land was reclaimed similar to the Kulaks and put in the hands of local people who had no idea how to actually manage a farm. Every country that did this almost immediately collapsed into famine. It’s even happening today in South Africa because of the nationalization of utilities.
That's not how it happened in Zimababwe. People keep making these small important mistakes, Mugabe took over and put his cronies in power like the ANC does in South Africa. This mismanagement meant he couldn't play his veterans(including the ones that fought in the Congo) so he raised up racial and class tensions and set those veterans on the rich not connected to his regime(not just white farmers but rich black farmers as well) as their pay. That's why the people that took over couldn't manage a farm because they were literally soldiers and thugs.
Dev I get what you're going for with the new discord setup and frankly good fucking riddance to the old server. Having some resistance to access is a good move for filtering out the shitters, but I worry that "access to a single channel unless a mod notices you" is not quite the same as "the server is open to the public". Especially as, with only a single channel to post in, the signal to noise ratio is going to be pretty awful.
While I agree with most of your points, I do disagree that Stalin was just a "grifter". He was indeed a doctrinal communist, but he was a pragmatic one and not an idealist one. Hence why he opposed nativization programs and instead wanted to centralize the state under the RSFSR with other SSRs being mere autonomies. Ofc he had his post-war "Soviet society embracing high education as a cultural pillar", but that was later on. While Trotsky wanted to go to war with Europe and paint the continent red from the start, Stalin opted for a more cautious approach, trying to ally with the Allies during the Sudetenland crisis against hitler or trying to get soviet forces there to the Pole's disapproval, or signing the Molotov-Ribbentrop pakt when the first failed. He just had more grasp on what the Soviet state could extent its power on at the time, and he didnt want to erode the traditional pillars of society by embracing the lgbt wave, since he thought it was a capitalist psy-op. But the purges were indeed a thing that would have happened eventually, since the soviet system at the time had a lot of internal opposition, both in the army core and in the political sphere. With so many different doctrines came a lot more infighting.
You're talking about Stalin and Lenin as if the later was the only true believer, but don't be fooled. Stalin too was a true believer and praticioner of comunism in heart and mind. In fact he could probably run circles around most modern commies when it comes to comunist theory and philosophy. Him ending as the supreme ruler and making a reing of terror not only was the ideology working exactly as intended, it was exactly the same thing Lenin was already doing but with him at the top.
Small notes, dev: 1. Ethnic Russians were not at the top under Stalin, not even close. This can be proved by the composition of government, heavy taxation on Russian territories (and lighter one for "lower status" Caucasus and Central Asia), lack of Russian representation, push for minorities languages, etc. It only changed before WWII - and ended shortly after, in 1949, with death of Zhdanov. 2. The deposed "nobility" class of Russia was one of the most meritocratic, so the revolution did not only destroy the higher class - it also devastated the middle class as well, resulting in a deep crisis we are facing even 100 after. 3. PM's surname is Stolypin (Stall-ee-pin), not Styopin
As a fellow Russian I support this comment, except for questioning meritocracy in the Russian Empire. It might've been better then many other countries at the time, but certainly had it's flaws and bunch of unquallified people at the top where govenment instead of business had a say.
As some one who watches a good bit of rightoid content their response to “Yea it’s happening some and it ain’t that serious” is normally “That’s what people say before it gets serious.” It’s a sign of potentially worse things to come. Both sides smell their own farts and get alarmist at times, but not hiring people based off their competence is bad and if we let them get away with it a little bit they’ll keep on till they can get away with all of if
4:00 I have a unique insight as a former air traffic controller. Short approach is technically a quick base to final turn. Its used if someone on final is slow and you can land and clear runway quick and or you have an emergency etc. my thought is why argue over the air? Why not let them land and have them contact you on a land line. Every other aircraft monitoring to tower is listening. Also the runway is hot if he is cleared regardless if its low approach, touch n go, full stop etc.. that was really unprofessional
This. The argument on open comms was ridiculous. Get the plane on the ground and shut up so that OTHER people have the ability to communicate properly.
11:30 Well, you're presuming there that everyone acts rationally. We have rule by the worst because rule is determined by popularity, fame, charisma, not by proven record of doing things beneficial to the people, whether or not it's popular
A friend of mine from childhood now lives in the Seattle area. He's an airline mechanic. They hired a transmission who often falls asleep on the job. But they will not fire it because Transmissions are better than you. We are living in Harrison Bergeron.
“Don’t think it’s that serious”. Sorry Otaku. If one person dies because of an objectively bad idea - being DEI hiring instead of a meritocracy - it’s serious. And we’re talking about planes. Hundreds of people. Maybe even thousands depending on where they crash. This is serious.
I agree with him that it's technically true that 1 plane could fall out of the sky every year and society wouldn't collapse (which would be worse than it is right now). However, I ultimately disagree with him, because what we're seeing right now is a sign of things to come. If it's that bad now, how bad will it get when it's a "real problem"?
@@commentcomment-vu4ne I’m just going to have to reject the premise entirely. No scope through which you focus this makes it okay or reasonable to sacrifice a person’s life unless we’re talking about saving more lives. Which is simply not the case - we are sacrificing people’s safety for other people’s feelings. It’s fucking mental.
It's crazy how underrated good management is. The difference between good and bad management can be anything from decade long development hell on a game or a movie, or even an entire country spiralling out of control with corruption, as is happening very often in African countries. I'd even argue that it's far easier to find competent, good workers than managers who won't fuck things up royally for everyone.
Hierarchies move left over time because all systems degrade over time. This is the system falling apart while those who gain control of it deny its destruction since they are not competent to stop it.
8:35 The article implies the causation is only because of this woke bs but let's be real here. It's not just politics, while it is a major part, it's not the full picture.
Stalin did alright but nobody was more committed to communism than the Cambridge Five. Some of these guys had to pretend being homosexual degenerate drinkers just so that people didn't figure out their true allegiance to the working men across the globe.
The competency crisis is very real, and the competency crisis has taken a lot of lives. It's just starting, that's what the lumpenprogs don't grasp. It's just starting. No one trained, no one paid a good wage, and now the invisible hand of the market is going to do one of the bloodiest corrections in history.
As a student (private) pilot and a student aircraft mechanic. I am also female. When you are in a plane, all that matters is how good you are flying it. How good you are fixing it and how good you can get those people out of it when a crisis happens. I rather see competent, well trained, houred with the marks to prove it pilots in the seat. I don't care about the color, it shouldn't matter. What matters if they can conduct themselves in a situation, and have the training to help themselves in a situation. That takes many years and many hours of training, expertise, study and yes even investigation. Rules of safety are written in blood. No matter how much these people may cry to the God that is The FAA. They will never be able to change the FAAs mind. This comment has been blessed by the FAA
The problem with thinking "it's not that bad" is that this isn't a linear problem. Decisions are being made and have been made whose outcomes haven't really been felt yet; by the time the issue becomes obvious it's too late to stop it and the only thing you can do is hold on while trying to keep the wheels from coming off. 737 Max issues Skidding off of a corner in your car because you were going too fast An avalanche Famine due to poor farming practices Every financial crisis A formerly strong company experiencing a crisis two years after a long time CEO has left (+20 points if that CEO talked about "shareholder value"). These are examples this effect. Everything looks fine until it's not.
6:43. If the plane problem doesn't seems as serious to you as some right-wingers do, then you're making the fatal mistake of taking an issue in a vacuum. The crisis of competency is one manifesting across the board. The airline rejection of meritocracy is alarming because it shows how brazen the woke have become, that they'll throw equity in society's face when airline pilot competency affects hundreds of lives per flight, hundreds-of-millions per year. It's magnified the affirmative action doctor problem to a massive scale. This issue is exactly as serious as right-wing alarmists think it is. Always stop and feel if the water's getting warmer.

There's a maintenance crisis too. Things break and stay broken, sometimes for months because there are not enough people trained to fix things anymore.
That’s what happens when you only want experienced people and can’t bother to train new workers. Well just have to see what goes…..
Keeping it brief, but I got into engineering, ran all the way through a PhD, spent 4 years in academia after that, left that due to politics and BS, and now I mostly do machine repair and diagnostics for industry (CNC machines, machine tools, etc.). I largely took over work done by awesome techs who aged out, and I take the smaller clients (like job shops) that can't afford the gouge prices OEMs spit at them. I'm way happier doing this than being stuck behind a desk. But it sure looks weird from my perspective. Most of the time I'm flying blind and reverse-engineering stuff. A lot of equipment stays broken because nobody is left who knows what to do with it, or the OEM walked away from their product, or both. I do what I can, but I only have 2 hands.
My dad's an airline mechanic. He says the quality of mechanics is going down some. But worse is the beauracratic managing of mechanics and new systems with bloat and shit design.
@Kirtahl I've seen some of what your father is talking about. I work for an FBO in California and we have to deal with Sky West maintenance, sometimes referred to as Sky Worst or The Clown Show.
I think most times it's not even a matter of training. The maintenance guys need someone to report/log that something is broke so they can go fix it but no one writes it up because either they can't recognize that something is wrong or when it is it's then logged as having broke under their watch. While not officially tallied you can bet your ass if you're that person always reporting stuff is broken the highers ups and the maintenance guys start to think you're the one abusing the equipment and causing them to break and costing them money. People just don't report that something is broken until there's a catastrophic failure.

I'm a South African and you've just described the last thirty years of my countries' history. Apartheid (the rule of the white minority ) ended in 1994 and the new black-majority government immediately started an aggressive affirmative action campaign in order to "transform" the economy.
People were put into management and technical positions they were completely unqualified to hold solely because of their race and loyalty to the new ruling party. Things weren't to bad at first because momentum kept the system going, but now the major city in which I live has routine electricity and water outages because the infrastructure in collapsing and unemployment is north of 30%.
Even suggesting that we should hire the most competent people to keep the system going will get you branded as a right-wing extremest. Behold where this thinking will lead you!
Boer?
What's happening in South Africa is truly tragic. I read about a town that set their own system to generate power and were able to eliminate blackouts, but the central government shut them down because they said it wasn't fair to the other towns (more likely, they just wanted to maintain the state power company's monopoly and authority).
It's frustrating that so many people have to suffer to sooth a few people's egos.
You c-nts stole the vast majority of useable land and kept the economy exactly the same as it was under apartheid and your illiterate ass has the nerve to blame affirmative action for SA's problems?! You freak.
While watching this video and hearing him saying that the competency crisis is overblown, I immediately thought of SA. The competency crisis has more merit than SFO is granting it, I believe.
You're practically a neo-nazi you apartheid supporting fuck. Meaning you're probably lying or are too stupid to assess reality. Colonial legacies still control the economy and you freaks diverted resources from maintenance and use that as an excuse to bring back apartheid rule.
and here I am, a very skilled 34 year old, associates degree in diesel technology and 7 years in the field. Applied for several mechanic jobs in my region and have been denied every single one (usually you don't even get a no they just leave you hanging). Then my local paper has the balls to run an article saying "nobody wants to work at the saw mill" so I went to apply there for one of their several entry level positions and was told "I'm over qualified" and my favorite " I wouldn't be happy working here". MF'er it's not about happiness it's about MONEY I will be homeless in two months if I can't find a job. They don't care. They need an idiot apparently. The guy I bought my house from is a tweaker (I found all his drug baggies that fell under the cabinet I remodeled, the house was in shambles and I get court summons and derelict bills for him monthly in mail box) and guess where he works?

I have to wonder if the job market is so screwed up that basic industry is scared of hiring. What you describe *shouldn't* ever be happening. On the face of things, this is entirely paradoxical. Clearly we need another factor here, and I don't think your factory towns are that big on pushing DEI bollocks at the level you want to apply to. My thought is thus.
They're worried that you'll be an employee who is not object oriented. If they have a critical issue, you'll be the one to question orders, slow down the system by knowing not just how to do your job but how to do your managing of your job. In a system of high trust, this is all cream, no downsides. But in a system of low trust, HR knows there is a very much not insignificant chance you can out HR HR. Ergo the paradox of no hires and no workers. The druggie is loyal because he's not smart enough to cause problems that could sink a division. With the economy not doing hot, risk is the last thing any business wants to take on.
I'll flat tell you your best option is to try and put that degree to work yourself. It sucks, but when a society declines in trust, as Dev stated, everyone is worse off, and this is one of the symptoms.

@@Jalrealnot good attentions, just virtue signaling
What's terrifying to me is every discipline I've applied myself to, I've been "competent" within a year. Not because I was actually that good at it, but because the standards for knowledge were so low that someone who legitimately applied their brain to it for a mere year jumped up the competency ladder past people phoning it in and just following protocol. There's not enough people spending the time to seriously engage with things and gain deeper understanding so they can easily think critically in that domain.
When it comes to jobs, it depends whether there's a reason to care. If the job itself isn't so vital to society that perfect understanding is required, and if said employee is satisfied with their current position, whether they simply don't care to be promoted or because they plan to only be at that job temporarily, their may not be much of a reason to put much effort in. Why bother trying very hard at a retail job? You won't get promoted, and it only serves a temporary purpose that isn't very vital for society. I think the problem comes in when people adopt this mindset to jobs that actually are important, like construction or medical workers.
Competence is mostly a personal trait and not related to training or experience. Smart employers test for competence over education or experience in the field, because a basically competent person can figure things out fairly quickly and make up for the gap in experience. It’s why there is no evidence preschool helps anyone academically in the long term; any advantage you get learning to function at school before your peers is erased by about the 2nd grade because it just doesn’t take that long for most kids to figure out how to write simple words or carry the one,
Some of us are fully aware of the Peter principle and deliberately avoid being promoted past a certain point. Because we know we're overqualified for our current position, but also know that we probably wouldn't excel very well in a higher position. And the extra stress just isn't worth the mild increase in pay/benefits. We also hide our power levels a lot because if we show that we can do extra work by pushing ourselves, then management will just come to expect that as the norm instead of a temporary unsustainable boost.
Take a multiple choice quiz, you're competent. Heres a worksheet to create a paper trail, the answers are in the back, complete it.

I'm sure it's deeply traumatic on a personal level to be involved in one of these incidents, but air travel is still the safest mode of transportation- and even if diversity hires made crashes/malfunctions TWICE as likely (it hasn't) then it'd still be the safest method.
@@adamperdue3178 But do we want twice as many airplane crashes for the sake of diversity?
@@harambe4267 We don't want ANY crashes at all. But that was just a hypothetical, as there actually hasn't been any statistically noticeable increase in airline deaths. Meaning that either 1) The diversity hires aren't meaningfully causing any negative effects. 2) They are, but the competent people in the system are creating more progress than the incompetents are creating regression. Or 3) There's a lot of inertia in the system.
It's the way canadian liberals tend to think. It's not that bad as long as it doesn't directly affect them.
that's what i was thinking. this stuff is deathly serious, literally. it only takes one plane crash and kill a hundred or so people, and that's not a worthy price to allow some people to feel nice about themselves.
One of the biggest reasons why a majority of african airlines are banned from flying to europe and north america is specifically because of serious concerns over pilot competency because a lot of those airlines have race based promotion and hiring practices that include hiring quotas.
Those practices have resulted in dozens of truly horrific plane crashes including one where a pilot who openly expressed a desire to not be alive anymore and was allowed to pilot a flight that had more than 100 passengers onboard.
Said pilot intentionally crashed the flight into swampland near the airport, killing everyone, including himself.
It never got any coverage outside of africa though.

If the pilots are from Africa, where the majority of the population is black, why do they have race based promotion?

@@ShortFatOtakuThe competency crisis in aviation won’t start in the cockpit, but in the hangar where airplanes are being maintained and in the cubicle where they’re being designed. The issues with Boeing now are a direct result of the competency crisis as they shed their engineering based leadership for the profit driven McDonnell/Douglass one when the two companies merged. McDonnell/Douglass had so many problems with the DC-10 and other airframes due to poor management that they were driven into bankruptcy.
Maintenance work on airplanes has been slipping up at a steadily accelerating rate to the point now where there’s an incident of some sort hitting the news fairly commonly now. You will see an uptick in major accidents as a result of these maintenance issues long before the cockpit gets “diversified.”
The theory that “academia is Leftist because the Left is smarter” falls apart when you learn to what extent essentially all of the best higher education was conservative by any modern standard, from the first creation of the university (by Christians) until roughly the 1950s and ‘60s. The Ivy League schools were basically seminaries, built to help men of God become well-rounded servants. And it was in this context that they earned the reputations that are now associated with their names. The association of higher learning with progressivism, on the other hand, correlates with the gradual squandering of those reputations.
Academia is leftist because they kicked up a stink at facing ideas they don't like and ended up getting inch, after inch, to create a mile, to the point where all the faculty is either those raving leftists, or people so scared that the second they speak out, they will be cancelled and made a black sheep, unhireable anywhere. You only need to see the *ahem* "intelligence" of the people leaving higher education these days. It might as well be like saying in Futurama, when Fry is in a robot asylum, therefore he must be a robot.

And the infiltration by socialists. The biggest issue is that the silent gen and boomers told their kids to not enter these bureaucratic institutions and instead pursue CEO status and corporate careers by any means necessary. Sell your small business to the first corporation to present a number followed by six 0s.

32:15 another thing to note is that a lot of academics aren't actually that intelligent, they gain their positions by prestige seeking and simply parroting whatever the dominant ideology is.
This doesn't happen in the hard sciences as the standards are much higher but it is rampant in the social sciences.
Take this thought experiment, I studying a social sciences degree, I'm slightly above average in intelligence but struggle with maths. So I just write a half assed paper, throw some buzzwords like intersectionality in and I'm published because I'm catering to the biases of my peers.
The inherent flaw within peer review is that it is being reviewed by people who have some interest in preserving their own positions and therefore are more likely to approve papers they themselves agree with
This is the source of a crisis in academia where well over 90% of published scientific papers can’t be replicated under identical circumstances. This again is even worse in the social sciences, but this problem has even manifested itself in the hard sciences.
It's starting to occur in the some Hard sciences like Medicine, my field. Low competency researchers are pivoting from hard Research to safe research with Mickey mouse results. You won't believe the number of studies on the effects of Drug -X on "insert marginalized group" (real or perceived). And they're all qualitative studies meant to bypass Academic journal filters. And they have limited scope and even less clinical significance. Research conducted solely for moral posturing.

The problem with your analysis, Dev, is that in urban environments, the collapse in competence has already happened. New York is already ruined - the evidence is now the subway is filled with military personnel. Baltimore is ruined. Detroit is ruined (and collapsed over a decade ago). (I should know, I live in Metro Detroit) Every major city is in some state of ruin. This isn't exclusive to the US, either. Ottawa, Victoria, Montreal, London (UK), etc are all in various states of ruin. This is part of what Arch and Sargon were trying to tell you last week.
In just the last 10 years, Hollywood has been ruined. The major Gaming studios have been ruined, and are in various states of collapse. Vice is destroyed. Most of gaming journalism has been ruined. Most of the higher education in the USA has been ruined. Large swaths of US industry is in various states of ruin, particularly, but not exclusively, in Tech. Scott Adams was told in the 80's he wouldn't be promoted in telecom as he didn't have the right skin color or sex organs. The collapse has ALREADY happened, Dev. Once the banking industry hits its final stages of collapse, we're going to have another great depression, as our governments and banks are led by the most insane leftist fools, Just like 100 years ago.
The bank runs are already starting, and we will likely be full digital by 2030. I actually think we will see a controlled depression though. Ubi cards that are only valid to purchase approved items such as tobacco, alcohol, McDonald's, etc. placating the cattle into ignoring their slaughter.

I work in aviation and have worked in the industry for over 20 years in a variety of roles. "Diversity" instead of competence WILL get people hurt or killed. This is an industry where competence is absolutely vital, as those crews have dozens to hundreds of lives in their hands.

Boeing has proven your point on the engineering side while the steadily increasing maintenance issues are proving you correct inside the hangar.

Hey, Dev. I don't know if you know this, but kakistocracy as a method of control isn't unique to left-wing or even modern political movements. I noticed in this video that you only mentioned it in socialist/far-left wing politics (which is fine bc it was probably outside the scope of your original idea), but kakistocracy was actually quite common during the days of the collapse of the western roman empire. Roman Emperors never had explicitly clear rules for succession because many roman emperors got their power through military coups. Because of this, anyone with the loyalty of enough legions could overthrow the current emperor without any meaningful problems with legitimacy or legality. In order to combat this potential danger, many roman emperors installed incompetent (but loyal) governors to the proveniences so that they couldn't challenge their own power, but hastening the collapse of the empire in the process. Just something I wanted you to know.
What else could they do?
@@kingofcards9516 Well, it was during the reign of Diocletian that this problem would first be addressed. One of Diocletian's many reforms was to internally divide the existing provinces of the empire into new provinces, effectively doubling the number of governors and diluting their power over the same amount of resources and wealth. While this did make the governance of the empire significantly more complicated, it limited the power of each individual governor, making it significantly less possible for a competent governor to raise enough support to overthrow the emperor. This idea of internally dividing the empire to weaken the power of local leaders would reach its zenith in the Tetrarchy, where the empire itself would be divided into eastern and western roman empires and ruled by 4 "co-emperors".
It was Diocletian's reforms that largely lead to the end of the Crisis of the Third Century and allowed the roman empire to continue surviving for centuries longer than it should have.

@@priapulidaDemocracy is what got us into this mess in the first place. People have always and will always vote in their own self interest. America started off with a white, landed voting base because it was easy to see that those people will have an interest in maintaining stability in the nation if for no other reason than their property values will decline if crises happen. This idea over time resulted in the civil war because “all men are created equal with certain unalienable rights” is incompatible with just landed whites having the right to vote. The 15th amendment was passed to rectify this issue and, for a time, things progressed as normal until the KKK succeeded in suppressing the right to vote. This would not be rectified until the civil rights act a century later.
Industrialization began in the aftermath of the civil war. This prompted people to move into the cities en mass for a better job, but crowded cities and nonexistent labor laws caused a lot of people to bend towards socialism to help their lot in life. Reformers like Teddy Roosevelt came in and reformed the system, but he would never have been elected had the idea of landed remained (it was gradually phased out prior to the civil war by various states).
Eventually you got to the point where women were starting to fight for the right to vote and they succeeded in 1920. This time was different however as women were the first enfranchised group in American history to be given the right to vote without the responsibility of having to sign up for the draft and being required to fight the war they voted for (whether or not they should is a debate for another comment).
What’s important is that this opened the door for what’s going on today. People are no longer anchored down to the consequences of their vote. If you’re a leftist that has a bit of money then you can vote for policies that, over time, destroy a city/state and move onto the next locality while leaving the mess you caused behind like a locust. Cities like New York, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New Orleans and states like California, New York, Illinois, Washington, Oregon, and Massachusetts are among the many victims of this process. Ironically enough, it’s the Uber wealthy (read multi-millionaire to billionaire class) who gets the short end of the stick here IF they have any property in these places as their property values crash due to a lack of people wanting to buy. Hotels have abandoned their buildings in San Francisco since no one wants to buy and property values are dirt cheap in Detroit for obvious reasons.

You're completely wrong about Stalin. He was absolutely a doctrinaire communist.
I don't know how the impression that he was a gifter came to so common. He was also literate who read a lot of and formulated theory.
Point being he was a true believer not just some violent oaf who lucked into power.
He was also a student of history and had read up on how the semi-communist regime in France was overthrown by Napoleon. It’s why he decided to purge the officer class to the point where the red army was unable to hold off the initial advance during operation Barbarossa.
The idea that he's a grifter is Leftist gaslighting.
First they deny what he did. When that doesn't work, they claim CIA/Capitalist sabotage. When that doesn't work, they claim he wasn't a REAL Communist because his policies would have worked if he were.
It's a defense for communism, using the "real communism hasn't been tried!" argument, as if Stalin was a grifter he clearly couldn't have led a "true" communist regime
He was the kind of socialist that pursued the communist dream with near-zero compromise. And it turns out that led to alot of executions, exiles and maximizing the strength of the state over its citizenry, which every socialist state deems necessary to drive progress. It's why Western Marxists hated him, it's because he has their ideology but put to the pedal and has forever tainted their viewpoints.
What's the difference? You think people are smart? Ha ha BaaaahahaHAAAAAA
Dev failed to understand one key part of this. If you are seeing the effects, its too late. You can fire all the ineffecive people you want but those positions need to be filled and the training for them takes time. Nearly 20 years, to be precise. This has been a process going on for at minimum 2 decades though its arguable to be a many as 7, and it will take atleast 2 decades of concerted effort to undo it. Because what you are seeing is the final stages of problem not the start of it. Those pilots? Thats the ends point. Before that was trainings programs, higher eduction, and internal school programs all of whicth they displaced a legitimatly qualified person for. And the same momentum that has kept the sustem running till now. Will keep it degenerating until the new wave of compitnetly trained people come in.
Exactly, which is why problems never look so bad at first- until they do. Like bankruptcy: it happens very slowly, and then all at once.
But I believe in the profit motive and the invisible hand of the market. Right now, large corporations can get away with this navel gazing regarding DEI and the like. Eventually, smaller, nimbler, more creative companies will outmaneuver them. I don't necessarily see a future of total societal collapse unless the free market is shuttered in this country (USA).
@@JalrealI don't see smaller outfits out-maneuvering anyone because the corporate capture of regulatory agencies has ensured it's way too expensive of the small outfits. Just look at how much competition the lockdowns wiped out while the big players fattened their stacks.
The competition at this point will come from outside the American sphere.
I also arrived at the '20 years to correct' summation. That seems to be the historic norm. I'll also be sterile in twenty years, so I'm probably emigrating now.
There is a crisis and its more than just a talking point, but what most dont realize is that the crisis is a slow burn, still serious but not something you can truthfully call an immediate collapse. We are and will pay the price for this more and more, incrementally every day.

I had a professor in college that we all figured was a diversity hire. She was from Jordan and could not teach. Many lectures were about how you would fail the course if you plagiarized anything while she read off slides that had other professor's names on them. Maybe she was good at research or something, but that's a side none of us saw. All we got was a professor who phoned in every lecture and graded projects arbitrarily.
Of course, retrospect has made me glad I had to deal with her. I learned how to deal with poor middle management before I had to.

I think most Socialists confuse Socialism for Agrarianism.
Alot of socialist rhetoric tends to boil down to: if it's good, it's because of socialism; if it's bad, it's because of agents that thwart it.
@@Ranchor489 Yea its litteral ideological shamanism. Giving it serious thought is pure folly considering how braindead it ends up being.
And confuse socialism with facismo
I understand your claim. Yet, if we look at _their_ study and understanding of history, they place the rise of 'capitalism' (really what they mean is settled civilisation) at the start of agriculture. Land ownership. This ownership begot other 'ownership' such as wives, their own children, slaves, etc and the expansion of private property as people developed new technologies. The rise of structures to protect ownership and the establishment of a class system. To me they appear to admire the pastoralists or, even better in their view, the hunter-gatherers who didn't practice animal domestication and ownership. Basically people who owned little more than what they could carry in their hands and on their backs and heads as they moved around foraging: some basic tools and a cooking pot. They shared whatever was gathered that day. The lived communally. Women had power. Children were raised by everyone. 'It takes a village!' Do the socialists want to be hunter-gatherers? No, I don't think so. But they want its socio-economic structure to govern the modern, (post)industrial world. Yep, bonkers.
_'Since the advent of civilization, the outgrowth of property has been so immense, its forms so diversified, its uses so expanding and its management so intelligent in the interests of its owners, that it has become, on the part of the people, an unmanageable power. The human mind stands bewildered in the presence of its own creation. The time will come, nevertheless, when human intelligence will rise to the mastery over property, and define the relations of the state to the property it protects, as well as the obligations and the limits of the right of its owners. The interests of society are paramount to individual interests, and the two must be brought into just and harmonious relations. A mere property career is not the final destiny of mankind, if progress is to be the law of the future as it has been of the past. The time which has passed away since civilization began is but a fragment of the past duration of man’s existence; and but a fragment of the ages yet to come. The dissolution of society bids fair to become the termination of a career of which property is the end and aim; because such a career contains the elements of self-destruction. Democracy in government, brotherhood in society, equality in rights and privileges and universal eduction foreshadow the next higher plane of society to which experience, intelligence and knowledge are steadily tending. It will be a revival in a higher form, of the liberty, equality and fraternity of the ancient gentes [primitive pre-class society].'_
That was from Lewis Henry Morgan, an influential figure in the mid- to late-19th century; his book, _Ancient Society_ , was published in 1877. Yeah, it's 'noble savage' bollocks. His book is available to read online for free. If you recognise the surname Morgan, yes, he was a member of _that_ Morgan family: New England/New York 'brahmins'.
In his introduction to the 1982 re-publication, Debiprasad Ghattpadhyaya writes: 'Marx and Engels owed their first full knowledge of the primitive pre-class society [to Morgan]. While lifting the veil on the past, Morgan revealed also an inspiring vision of the future.' He adds, 'However, though from the point of view of the analysis of the economic and social laws of the last phase of class society making room for the classless society, the writings of Marx and Engels are incomparably richer than that of Morgan, nevertheless, they were basically indebted to the discovery of Morgan for their own fuller understanding of the dialectics of social development. Hence Morgan’s researches have in an important sense been incorporated into the fabric of the Marxist sociology.'
Is this true? Aren't the socialists all about uplifting the proletariat [the industrial worker]? The development of massive industrial plants 'owned' by the workers? Yes, but no. Or no longer. Who do they get most gushy about nowadays? Indigenous people, especially those who were not animal herding pastoralists. Australia's Aborigines, for example. The tribes of the Amazon rainforest. For Morgan it was the Iroquois. He and his well-to-do cohort created rites of inindianation in which they were transformed spiritually into Iroquois. Yes, this cosplay larping has been going on a long time. The socialists are people who chant 'no borders' yet celebrate the unaliving of a fella who tried to visit the North Sentinalese people, likely the most primitive and least contacted indigenous group. These are their sacred people. Hence, all their guff about 'indigenous ways of knowing'; their disparagement of time and maths and settlers and the nuclear family. The invocation of 'land acknowledgements' before gatherings. Australia even held a referendum to award the indigenous a 'voice' over all legislation, i.e. a veto. 'It's only about laws that affect them' the supporters claimed. All laws affect all people, do they not? About 40 per cent of the voting public fell for this deceit. Can you imagine the socialists giving such overwhelming power to anyone else? 'It's all about equality for everyone. Oh, by the way, this special group gets a veto.' It was an attempt to establish an aristocracy (under the thumb of the socialists) because the aboriginal 'leaders' who would have run the council are mostly part-aboriginal urbanites with advanced educations in crackpot studies.
Really the proletariat (and the peasants, though they were a lesser concern) were just a mass of bodies to be used like other so-called marginalised groups who form the socialists' meat shields today.

Honestly, one of the biggest myths is said in this video. All the documents, all the recordings of Stalin when he wasn't in public really shows... he was an absolute devotee of communism. The denunciation of his society isn't that it was run by grifters. We can denounce it because it was in fact run by true believers. If all Stalin wanted was to be self serving he wouldn't have left seminary (which had him hurtling toward one of the branches of Aristocracy in the society he lived in.) He wouldn't have dedicated 20 years to being a revolutionary and suffer for it like he did.
A true believer in _what?_ In _whom?_ Have you ever tried doing anything in your life without a crystal clear and precise goal with a precise list of actions to it? Let alone have other people rally behind you? It's a nightmare, nothing gets done whatsoever. Unlike Lenin, "Stalin" is a non-person, his biography doesn't make sense at all. He just suddenly appeared out of the shadows and took reigns. And nobody could do nothing about him! It's not like he had a scary band of thousands loyal Georgian thugs or anything, everyone else just respected his belief in a non-specific communistic vision of abstract progress, I guess? Ridiculous. One British writer wrote a satirical book exposing "Stalin", I think, maybe you've heard of it? He died a year after publishing it.
@@varvarvarvarvarvar he... didn't come out of nowhere? He was publishing papers for 20 years? As time would go on He would write about how leninism is the most correct application of dialectical materialism in dissecting the situation at the time and why leninism was the ideal path forward.
Even confronting lenins mistake of trying to just abolish money right away nearly destroying the whole country resulting in the new economic plan.
One of the things Twitter marxists do is try to lie ans say Stalin was a betrayal of leninism. NO. Leninism believed that there needed to be a "vanguard party" with "class conciousness" to take the reigns. He believed this was nessisary because the general population was of the culture that thought private property ect were normal and acceptable. Therefore they would reproduce capitalism after the revolution... which is really what they did after the tsar was overthrown but before he came to power. Same problems, different head of state. However it's important to note that the vanguard party mentality basically means that only those vetted as true faithful believers in marxism should be allowed to make decisions. This is by its very nature anti democratic. It's also how Lenin won the Civil War. His enemies be it the whites or the anarchists were all divided but his faction was absolutely totally unified.
Stalin just continued to reinforce leninism, reinforce the vanguard party's control. No anti party dissent was tollerated.
Aw, cool daddy Stalin is someone's bestie westie.
@@dallassegno Making up bs about Stalin, saying that he wasn't a true communist is just pro Lenin bs propaganda. "Communism is great! Stalin was just a liar." No, both of them were men who truly believed and ran societies that did not give one damn about the the people in it.
@@varvarvarvarvarvar I have no clue who you are talking about, there's a lot of people who wrote about Stalin throughout the years.
He didn't come out of nowhere and had published works (and public feuds within the commuinist movement) for years.
He wasn't a betrayal of Leninism, he was the ultimate manifestation of it. Leninism is a "vanguard party" movement. In essence Lenin believed that the average person in the Empire was so accultured to capitalism, property ect that if he allowed them to have a say they would just reproduce the old system with a new coat of paint after the revolution. This was pre war theorizing but when the bread riots turned into revolution that's exactly what happened and Lenin overthrew that government.
Stalin just reinforced the idea of the vanguard party to the ultimate degree. Nobody who was outside of the party (ie not ideologically "pure" ) was allowed to have a direct say in the way society was run. This was to "preserve the revolution." Communists preach about "democracy" but ultimately their very ideals are anti democratic. Stalin didn't betray the revolution, he WAS the revolution.
Stalin's program was based upon the early 1918 experience when Lenin tried to abolish money and that turned out disastrously. The NEP became the new first step in the new plan. What's horrifying about the Holodomor wasn't that he had this problem with Ukrainians it was that he calculated, ruthlessly that this was his only chance to buy the technology transfer from the west. In the 1920s the west wouldn't trade with the Soviets, but the great depression made the west desperate and willing to trade and the only thing the Soviets had to trade was Ukrainian grain...

I didn't want to fly in an airplane back when the pilots were competent. Now I don't even want them flying above me lol.
Dev, the issue with management is what you mentioned earlier, often management isn't half as competent as they need to be but doesnt realize or acknowledge it and if they do, it makes them sabotage those they fear are could replace them. When there is broken equipment, parts shortages, no communication to the in house machine shop for scheduling, no employee other than the machinist that understands the 70 year old equipment, out of tolerance parts from outside vendors for decades and no updated design/print, a mouse infestation so bad they eat the bags of chips at the vending area, training manuals for assemblers that have blurry pictures and no words not 'no english' no WORDS and they relied on that to train people to assemble, losing 60% of their labor force and being unable to find a machinist that didn't run away screaming from the facility tour for THREE YEARS because they mutilated and poisoned the last two by being incompetent is all MANAGEMENTS RESPONSIBILITY. Dont defend those who fall upstairs just because its impressive they got up there, realize its an escalator running on the competency of those "beneath them."
The problem with kulaks and Soviet nationalization was that they've seen all managers as tge ones who fell upwards.

I did find it so funny how all the airplane accidents happened around the same time the celebration of higher diversity occurred.
It seemed to me that airlines disseminated their DIE material in a painfully ignorant attempt to cover up the news of engineering and staff shortcomings (maybe to offset investor confidence), but it backfired splendidly.
The place that you’re going to see DEI creep into the aviation industry won’t be the cockpit, but in the hangar with maintenance personnel (see the mechanical issues that have cropped up as of late), Air Traffic Control (the controller who was arguing with the pilot about how to fly the plane), and the engineering desk (Boeing’s problems with the newer 737’s and other airframes). All of these roles are vital, yet don’t have such high standards to get into that, through force of merit, would otherwise keep them out like pilots.

There's the idea that "the only virtue that matters in the political world is loyalty," which frankly shouldn't be true but unfortunately is. Really so many problems are caused by people refusing to be principled, only being moral as far as it benefits them. Almost like humanity needs religion or something.
And not even real loyalty, just the guise of loyalty. So many examples of rulers infamous for paranoia being stabbed in the back in spite of trying to fill their courts with loyalists.
Not even religion. The majority of people need a fear of immediate consequences from those around them to do what's right. If they fear the person they'd need to act against more they won't do it.
Such is the weakness of tribalism. Every selfish douche wants an echo chamber of validation so that they can defeat all the other douches with echo chambers for dominance.
People need something to worship or else they will find something to worship. In the age of secularism, two new religions have sprung up: worship of the state and worship of the climate. Communism, and to a lesser extent socialism, hold the idea that, in the absence of an afterlife, the state must be given the authority to bring utopia on earth even if it means stacking bodies by the millions. Over 100 million have died as a direct result of communism.
Climate change is another religion all in itself, with an origin story/garden of Eden (the climate pre civilization), the forbidden fruit/original sin (industrialization), a need for repentance (current climate policy), and the heretic (manmade climate change “deniers”). This one is far more dangerous because every policy that they push is anti human in one way or another and, if they can get away with it, would spell the end for billions of people. At least communism believed that humans were the most important resource even if it came at the cost of destroying the environment (Aral Sea vanishing).

So last week (Friday) I was rear ended and the car is unsafe to drive. That means I need a rental while it's being repaired. This is covered under my insurance policy. The car is a Honda Accord, which is classified as a full size sedan according to Enterprise. They call and ask me to provide them with a 48 hour notice prior to picking up the rental so they can ensure vehicle availability. I setup a drop off with the auto shop on Tuesday morning and notify enterprise I'll need the rental Thursday afternoon. I'm scheduling according to the notice they asked me to give them. They confirmed Tuesday morning a rental will be available Thursday afternoon. I arrive Thursday afternoon, and they attempted to put me in a compact car which will not accommodate the kids car seats I had in the Accord. They say it's because State Farm downgraded my rental. I call State Farm and they immediately reinstate a rental for a full size sedan. Enterprise has none available, so they put me in a pickup truck and tell me to come back over the weekend because full size sedans will be available. I call Saturday morning and over the phone "oh yes, we remember you, come on in, we have lots of full size sedans available" I arrive at the location and there was only one that they gave away to someone else prior to my arrival. At this point something that should have taken less than an hour had taken about 4 hours. I interacted with six people between State Farm and Enterprise. Between six people, none of them could seem to figure this out with a full week at this point. They upgraded me and sent me on my way. This is the competency crisis in a nutshell. (Just this last week's example)

“Academia is Leftist because the Left is smarter" That is not true. At least not for Europe. Academia always had elitist elements, but that is true to every field in life. Merit is what generally prevails. not ideological association. That is why they need the diversity quotas. Meritocracy curbstomps everything else otherwise.

There was a joke from comedian Kyle Kinane that had the line "I was looking at the airplane with all the aeronautical expertise of a comedian." Turns out that could save your life.
"It's not that bad" - yet. The NHS here is undergoing a competency crisis for a number of reasons, but it's gotten to the point where A&E turned away a seizing teenager and 4 neurologists didn't check any bloodwork for a familial medical history of lacking B12 (seizures but no other symptoms relating to epilepsy can mean the lack of it). The kid is blind in one eye and can't walk right because it's taken weeks before her own mother decided to try the vitamin supplement after getting hold of bloodwork charts. The basic structures of what we rely on nowadays in society are crumbling.
The airplane malfunctions are just coincidence at this point, the industry still has competence. What worries me is the fact that the gatekeepers are gone and the meritless diversity hiring has started. At this stage the competency will only trend down as these people embed themselves and start making managerial decisions.

Another widespread example of competency crisis other than the Soviet Union is post-colonial Africa. In countries like Zimbabwe which have regimes inspired by Leninism, white farmers’ land was reclaimed similar to the Kulaks and put in the hands of local people who had no idea how to actually manage a farm. Every country that did this almost immediately collapsed into famine. It’s even happening today in South Africa because of the nationalization of utilities.
That's not how it happened in Zimababwe. People keep making these small important mistakes, Mugabe took over and put his cronies in power like the ANC does in South Africa. This mismanagement meant he couldn't play his veterans(including the ones that fought in the Congo) so he raised up racial and class tensions and set those veterans on the rich not connected to his regime(not just white farmers but rich black farmers as well) as their pay. That's why the people that took over couldn't manage a farm because they were literally soldiers and thugs.

While I agree with most of your points, I do disagree that Stalin was just a "grifter". He was indeed a doctrinal communist, but he was a pragmatic one and not an idealist one.
Hence why he opposed nativization programs and instead wanted to centralize the state under the RSFSR with other SSRs being mere autonomies. Ofc he had his post-war "Soviet society embracing high education as a cultural pillar", but that was later on.
While Trotsky wanted to go to war with Europe and paint the continent red from the start, Stalin opted for a more cautious approach, trying to ally with the Allies during the Sudetenland crisis against hitler or trying to get soviet forces there to the Pole's disapproval, or signing the Molotov-Ribbentrop pakt when the first failed.
He just had more grasp on what the Soviet state could extent its power on at the time, and he didnt want to erode the traditional pillars of society by embracing the lgbt wave, since he thought it was a capitalist psy-op.
But the purges were indeed a thing that would have happened eventually, since the soviet system at the time had a lot of internal opposition, both in the army core and in the political sphere. With so many different doctrines came a lot more infighting.
You're talking about Stalin and Lenin as if the later was the only true believer, but don't be fooled.
Stalin too was a true believer and praticioner of comunism in heart and mind. In fact he could probably run circles around most modern commies when it comes to comunist theory and philosophy.
Him ending as the supreme ruler and making a reing of terror not only was the ideology working exactly as intended, it was exactly the same thing Lenin was already doing but with him at the top.

Small notes, dev:
1. Ethnic Russians were not at the top under Stalin, not even close. This can be proved by
the composition of government, heavy taxation on Russian territories (and lighter one for "lower status" Caucasus and Central Asia), lack of Russian representation, push for minorities languages, etc. It only changed before WWII - and ended shortly after, in 1949, with death of Zhdanov.
2. The deposed "nobility" class of Russia was one of the most meritocratic, so the revolution did not only destroy the higher class - it also devastated the middle class as well, resulting in a deep crisis we are facing even 100 after.
3. PM's surname is Stolypin (Stall-ee-pin), not Styopin
As a fellow Russian I support this comment, except for questioning meritocracy in the Russian Empire. It might've been better then many other countries at the time, but certainly had it's flaws and bunch of unquallified people at the top where govenment instead of business had a say.
By 'tight elite of russian ethnics' Dev clearly meant that one time Andropov was in charge.
As some one who watches a good bit of rightoid content their response to “Yea it’s happening some and it ain’t that serious” is normally “That’s what people say before it gets serious.” It’s a sign of potentially worse things to come. Both sides smell their own farts and get alarmist at times, but not hiring people based off their competence is bad and if we let them get away with it a little bit they’ll keep on till they can get away with all of if
4:00 I have a unique insight as a former air traffic controller. Short approach is technically a quick base to final turn. Its used if someone on final is slow and you can land and clear runway quick and or you have an emergency etc. my thought is why argue over the air? Why not let them land and have them contact you on a land line. Every other aircraft monitoring to tower is listening. Also the runway is hot if he is cleared regardless if its low approach, touch n go, full stop etc.. that was really unprofessional
This. The argument on open comms was ridiculous. Get the plane on the ground and shut up so that OTHER people have the ability to communicate properly.
11:30 Well, you're presuming there that everyone acts rationally. We have rule by the worst because rule is determined by popularity, fame, charisma, not by proven record of doing things beneficial to the people, whether or not it's popular
A friend of mine from childhood now lives in the Seattle area. He's an airline mechanic. They hired a transmission who often falls asleep on the job. But they will not fire it because Transmissions are better than you. We are living in Harrison Bergeron.
Copy paste your story with the Canadian rail industry except it's Hello Sars and the friend got demoted for pointing out the train driver was asleep.
“Don’t think it’s that serious”. Sorry Otaku. If one person dies because of an objectively bad idea - being DEI hiring instead of a meritocracy - it’s serious. And we’re talking about planes. Hundreds of people. Maybe even thousands depending on where they crash. This is serious.
I agree with him that it's technically true that 1 plane could fall out of the sky every year and society wouldn't collapse (which would be worse than it is right now).
However, I ultimately disagree with him, because what we're seeing right now is a sign of things to come. If it's that bad now, how bad will it get when it's a "real problem"?
@@commentcomment-vu4ne I’m just going to have to reject the premise entirely. No scope through which you focus this makes it okay or reasonable to sacrifice a person’s life unless we’re talking about saving more lives. Which is simply not the case - we are sacrificing people’s safety for other people’s feelings. It’s fucking mental.
It's crazy how underrated good management is.
The difference between good and bad management can be anything from decade long development hell on a game or a movie, or even an entire country spiralling out of control with corruption, as is happening very often in African countries.
I'd even argue that it's far easier to find competent, good workers than managers who won't fuck things up royally for everyone.
Hierarchies move left over time because all systems degrade over time. This is the system falling apart while those who gain control of it deny its destruction since they are not competent to stop it.
tldw: we are screwed
8:35 The article implies the causation is only because of this woke bs but let's be real here. It's not just politics, while it is a major part, it's not the full picture.
Yeah genes matter
The politics is why we look the other way and are too afraid to address the problem before it becomes a problem.
Stalin was very much committed to communism ideologically. Read some Kotkin.
Stalin did alright but nobody was more committed to communism than the Cambridge Five. Some of these guys had to pretend being homosexual degenerate drinkers just so that people didn't figure out their true allegiance to the working men across the globe.
not as time went on
The competency crisis is very real, and the competency crisis has taken a lot of lives. It's just starting, that's what the lumpenprogs don't grasp. It's just starting. No one trained, no one paid a good wage, and now the invisible hand of the market is going to do one of the bloodiest corrections in history.
As a student (private) pilot and a student aircraft mechanic. I am also female.
When you are in a plane, all that matters is how good you are flying it. How good you are fixing it and how good you can get those people out of it when a crisis happens.
I rather see competent, well trained, houred with the marks to prove it pilots in the seat. I don't care about the color, it shouldn't matter. What matters if they can conduct themselves in a situation, and have the training to help themselves in a situation.
That takes many years and many hours of training, expertise, study and yes even investigation.
Rules of safety are written in blood. No matter how much these people may cry to the God that is The FAA. They will never be able to change the FAAs mind.
This comment has been blessed by the FAA
The problem with thinking "it's not that bad" is that this isn't a linear problem. Decisions are being made and have been made whose outcomes haven't really been felt yet; by the time the issue becomes obvious it's too late to stop it and the only thing you can do is hold on while trying to keep the wheels from coming off.

If the plane problem doesn't seems as serious to you as some right-wingers do, then you're making the fatal mistake of taking an issue in a vacuum. The crisis of competency is one manifesting across the board. The airline rejection of meritocracy is alarming because it shows how brazen the woke have become, that they'll throw equity in society's face when airline pilot competency affects hundreds of lives per flight, hundreds-of-millions per year. It's magnified the affirmative action doctor problem to a massive scale.
This issue is exactly as serious as right-wing alarmists think it is. Always stop and feel if the water's getting warmer.
