Where to Invade Next | Michael Moore | Talks at Google
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2016
- Academy award winning filmmaker Michael Moore stopped by Google to discuss his latest film, "Where to Invade Next."
"Where to Invade Next" is an expansive, rib-tickling, and subversive comedy in which Moore, playing the role of 'invader,' visits a host of nations to learn how the U.S. could improve its own prospects. The creator of "Fahrenheit 9/11" and "Bowling for Columbine" is back with this hilarious and eye-opening call to arms. Turns out the solutions to America’s most entrenched problems already exist in the world-they’re just waiting to be co-opted.

Michael I saw your movie "Where to Invade Next" on Saturday, 27 February 2016 at Landmark Cinema on E Street, NW, Washington, D.C. and I loved it. I lived in Germany for 28 years and I know what you say is correct. The French really do prepare lunches for school children that is restaurant quality. German workers do have a say in the running businesses. Italians do have two hour lunch breaks and the whole of Europe has government mandated vacation and sick leave. No one, and I mean no one, loses their homes because of a catastrophic illness. I lived in the city of Bad Kreuznach, Germany and one of the big employers in the city is Michelin Tires and they would close work so that their employees could attend the yearly yahrmarkt (yearly market festival). I could go on and on about all the positive things that I learned while living in Germany. The thing I loved most was that Europeans are so kind to one and other and they try their best to be as liberal as they possibly can be.
I REGRET not visiting Europe when it was still civilized.

Ever been to one of the, more than, 60 No-Go zones in Sweden?
Greetings from Swedistan, formerly known as Sweden,
Now a welfare Klondike for MENA leeches, where islamist-motivated
terrorism continues to pose the main terroist threat, most bombings in Europe occur,
gang criminality has gone through the roof and 48% of the people born outside Europe (a vast majority
from the Middle East and Africa) don't work. They live on OUR welfare system. to which the haven't paid
a dime (öre). On the other hand we have 250 000 (12%) of our retirees living below the EU poverty limit and
some of the longest waiting lines in EU, for healthcare. To no one's surprise, but their own, the Social
Democrats is no longer the #1 party. A position they've had for almost a century. They screwed up.
So, living in "Europe" is a bit vague. We've got countries like Switzerland, Monaco, Rumania and Bulgaria.
Light years apart.
@George Arndt
Right now it's, unforunately, not possible.
But I wouldn't mind living in Montana and even some parts of Texas, somewhere along the Gulf coast,
LA, Chicago and New York is out of the question. Dem swamps.
If you like Europe so much. Why don't you move to one of the suburbs outside Stockholm,
Gotheburg or Malmö (Sweden)? If you do, don't forget to brush up on your Arabic.
The most spoken language in those areas.
If Bernie wins, all of USA is out of the question, as far as I'm concerned.
Who knows, airheads like AOC and Ilhan Omar might end up in his administration.
So, to each his own.
@Michael Murphy
Sweden is a NATO country?
@Michael Murphy
The jihad freaks are being radicalized studying islamic texts,
not foreign policies. We have thousands of them in Sweden.
The ideas mentioned are not "American." The idea of humane treatment of prisoners came from an Italian philosopher during the Enlightenment, and "Americas" education system was adopted from a German education system.
Thank you, Michael Moore, for your goodness , and all you do for us .
The best to you and yours .
26:40 Moore very much over estimates how highly the rest of the world think of the US. From my perspective most people find the US arrogant and inhumane on so many levels.
Ryan Ellis They make the impression that they are very greedy.
I too find the US arrogant and inhumane on so many levels. but then, I'm a Republican., and working class which means I am invisible to the likes of Moore.
bluskies1000 The likes of Moore fight mostly for working class Republicans and Democrats, so don’t agree with that statement there.
MM is 33 so he's a NWO puppet!
bluskies1000 Why are you working class and not Progressive🙈? The Republicans are after your social security. Seems counterintuitive.
This is the best interview I’ve seen with Michael Moore, what a thoughtful,intelligent & very funny guy, ( several laugh out loud moments for me )
Thanks Google !
I wish Moore would watch his weight. We need him. The USA needs him and the way he looks, he may not be around as long as he should be.
+Donald Edward True. There's not many fat old people around.
agreed we need him, he should go vegan cut out sugar exercise before breakfast substitute green tea for coffee.
@keith mcdowell I was hoping at one point a year or so ago, that Ivanka was going to speak up and say that fatman Donald was going to step down because this was too much stress on her fat old dad, but no such luck; he seems to have thrived while getting even fatter. Keep hoping he'll explode out of here at some point.
high fructose corn syrup have ruined Americans. Corn fed cows have nine times higher fat content*
He gargles with bacon grease! - fat disgusting pig!
GREAT INTERVIEW! Michael Moore is one AWESOME Humanitarian!
37:00 "Europe does not have that many Tech startups..."

AND these are just from the tiny nation of Sweden.
You can have a welfare state AND great innovation and successful companies. No contradiction at all. Just take a look at the Germans: BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW, Porsche, Siemens, Bosch and thousands of other top of the line enterprises.
Well, to be fair, I'd hardly refer to the billion-dollar corporations in your list as start-ups.
The USA does start up a lot of companies. Unfortunately it gets through so many because a lot of them collect a lot of cash from investors and then promptly fail. They can get through a lot of start-ups (and cash) that way.
A better response to the point you were addressing could be drawn from the information on the following Quora discussion page, which talks about start-ups per-capita among other things:
www.quora.com/What-countries-have-the-most-startup-companies-per-capita
In that context, the USA is way behind a lot of other countries, but they do have the advantage of being able to collect a lot of cash from eager investors to stand a better chance of success. Also interesting is that the percentage of the population employed by small start-ups is low in the USA compared with some other nations (the UK stands out in Europe for that), although I have to say that I haven't checked the figures cited in that discussion.
I suppose it comes down to what's classed as a start-up and what's not.
D Brick you wrote:
_"The upper lists are of actual start-ups"_
_"Startup"_ is a pretty woolly term, but I would say that there comes a time when a company can no longer be referred to as starting-up.
I gave a better example of how you could have made your exact same point without listing established, stable companies and referring to them as start-ups - and I linked to a discussion on the same topic to help you out. Michael Moore made a good point. You did not.
_"You sound pathetic trying to defend us on this"_
When did I make such a defence? I only noted that you could have made your point in a better way.
_"Start-ups here MUST depend on those who are willing to forego insurance and other spiffs to succeed"_
The USA has a ridiculous healthcare system. Healthcare and education should not be run as for-profit businesses. As Michael Moore pointed out, you lot could cut your goose-stepping budget by a third or more (I'd say by a half or more) and even that would be more than enough to defend your borders. The cash saved could be pumped into making healthcare and education free to everyone in your country without increasing taxes to do so. In fact, do that and you could even reduce taxes. Spend the tax revenue on helping the people stay alive and receive an education rather than on new and interesting ways to kill people and make enemies around the world.
No country is perfect in every respect, but take good ways of doing/running things from each other and we can all be better off as a result.
_"BTW - I am a veteran"_
Then you are, or were, an idiot. I hope you've attempted to redeem yourself in later years. Dropping that in will not result in automatic respect.
_"China has managed to surpass our tech community in numbers and speeds of supercomputers"_
Good for them. India is up-coming too. I wish them continued success.
_"No, we PUNISH anyone who attempts college here with insane personal costs"_
I know. It's ridiculous. Carry on like that and you'll end up with a country full of drooling idiots who's only option in life is to become cannon fodder for a military.
_"No, it is NOT the 20th century anymore"_
My only point in responding to your comment was to show that your list of companies did not include any start-ups, except for the fact that those companies did actually start at some point. This is not the 20th century, as you correctly discovered, but most of the companies you listed were in fact started in that century. I do not consider the billion dollar corporations you listed to be start-ups, although I would have done so close to when they started up.
Taking a few from the top of your list:
Axis Communications - 1995
Cision - 1892
EA Digital Illusions - 1992
Elektron - 1998
ENEA - 1968
IAR Systems - 1983
IFS AB - 1983
Intertex - 1993
Jeeves - 1992
_(I could go on)_
Start-ups? Maybe they were some time ago, but not now. Google (1998) and Amazon (1994) were startups at one point, but I do not consider that to be true now - even though they are younger than many of the _"startups"_ in your list.
Sweden is one country. The European union contains 51. 44 in Europe.
They were startups, most during the harshest economic times in modern Swedish history. Stuff like Google though is a startup success story.
REAP That sounds like a good idea that could be reused elsewhere
Google has the guts to show this interview. Thank you Google. Keep the interesting guests coming.
Great interview, it's always interesting to listen to Michael Moore, thanks.
....no matter how wrong he usually gets it.
I really love this guy. This movie came out on my birthday and I saw it with my dad in a tiny art house theater that my small Midwest town for some reason has. Was a great experience.
and you think we care?
As a German it's a bit infuriating to hear the claim that the US wrote the German constitution. Sure, as occupation powers they oversaw the process of how West Germany organized its constitutional assembly but it was written by Germans and a lot of it is based on the Weimar Republic and even the Second German Reich (which was a more autocratic version of a constitutional monarchy like Britain anyway)
A lot in it, including universal healthcare, labor rights etc. is based on 150 years tradition inside germany and was not infused by ideas from the US (maybe improved as it had to be set up anew). It was a logical progression of what liberal( in the correct literal sense), socialist and democratic ideas inside germany had promoted since the 19th century and which had been slowly adopted even by conservative German circles when the 1930s had come around.
Even Nazi germany saw a lot of the welfare stuff as a natural basis to have a strong, healthy population, they however wanted a healthy population for nefarious purposes.
In a lot of ways it was a continuation of the Weimar Republic by removing its shortfallings and the baggage that came out of the Kaiserreich that allowed the Third Reich and follow its ideas to logical conclusions.
As a Pole, it's funny to hear a German complain about an occupier, hahaha
please take the info; from where it came? I loved living in the F.D.R. Mr.Moore may have drank a beer or 10 there, abd that is all he knows of your culture and country. Americans, and I am one, are at best, delusional about their "greatness". Regarding our place in the world, we are probably average. A young country, arrogant and violent. We generate large amounts of $$$$$$ putting our own citizens in cages, such as prison and jail. We are very effecient at it. I can not apologize for others. I do know that some
of us smart enough to know---some people are just faces making noise.
I think that, even within the humble perspective that this talk show proceeds, even from the mouth of such a modest and poignant man as Michael Moore, American arrogance will rear its ugly head. America has historically had a jingoistic and myopic view of itself as the greatest in the world: it's people as the strongest, most intelligent, most creative, most humanitarian, etc. Perhaps one reason why American society has diminished so much is because they just assume that they are the best and never look at what the rest of the world is doing. Not to mention the 0.1% oligarchs that treat the rest of their own citizens like shit.
Thoroughly enjoyable interview.
I was 'allowed' to take my statutory holiday when my father died unexpectedly, but only two days. How kind! Michael Moore is one of the great commentators of our time...☮❤️
in France its 3 days for a parent s desease (father mother sister brother,etc...) and more for a child (family is very important in country like France), paid by your firm. If you r ill, you stop the work but be paid for same salary during the time you need. Hollydays : 2,5 days per month. We are working 35 hours a week except 2 days the "week end" saturday and sunday, but we can work 38 or more hours per week : it just will be more paid until 41 hours. Rest is for family sports holydays...living.
We pay more taxes than US citizens yes (dont care in fact at the end) but studies and hospital are free...and we still the 5th most rich country in the world (France is richiest than Californian States)
For US citizens and Murica : its possible...largely possible if you really want and if your new president want...
Real for France why not for USA ?
French citizens fought and vote for that...specially in France. What i call a civilization.
Thanks for posting this, it was a great discussion
My professor recently showed us this movie in my sociology class and it was like a hilarious fever dream we couldn’t believe the systems that were in place and working well, even especially more when some were based off of American ideals...
Michael is always telling you the truth when you talk to him , no matter how ugly that truth is.....
Michael Moore is one of America's smartest and talented film makers, he has shared so much of his clever insights and gifts with us, our country and people are bettered by his creative work! Thank you Michael Moore, especially for this latest film "Where to Invade Next" because so many of my conservative students have been jolted to reality today from seeing it! It was so creative and funny, I've seen it three times already! :) Bernie and Hilary should take lessons from this film to campaign with and definitely try to implement them if they become President!
He is refreshing full of common sense, saying what we think but afraid of political corrections of our thoughts.
His films are very misleading.
The questions from the audience were great.
When Moore appears on screen my home air filter goes into overdrive.
For me . . . This is the most important movie I have ever seen. It shocked me in a way that is beyond words!!!. Thank you Michael from the bottom of my heart!
+solomon faber r u american?
Nice Interview :) The good thing about Sir Michael Moore is he is not biased :)
+krishnan srinivasan True! =)
I would appreciate and pay for a bitter truth than for a buttery lie.
krishnan srinivasan
Interesting response. I will tell you that there is always a hidden agenda.
+krishnan srinivasan LOL HAHAHA OMFG too funny! You should take that joke on tour.
+Mr Automatic You also despise John Oliver and the like?
Wishing Moore's "film" was on DVD for all to watch...Might have profound effects on this election.....Healthcare for everyone...College without a decade of debt....paid leave for marriage, children, having to move....If this is what you want your president to prioritize , you need to FEEL THE BERN!!
I can't afford to go to a movie theater. When I was a kid, in the stone ages, mom would give my sister and I $2.00. $1.00 for the show, 'A Hard Day's Night' was awesome and $1.00 for popcorn and maybe a soda. I haven't been to a movie for close to 12 or more years.
Very interesting interview. Michael Moore is a great person, a good filmmaker, and most of all - he makes movies every American should see. Here, he touches on important subjects and talks to the audience as well. An hour well worth spent.
It's really presumptuous to state that other countries look up to us. Really?
I know they look 'at' the USA, they certainly cant ignore a country that has become so dominant in the world in terms of foreign policy and popular culture.
Go almost anywhere in the world, If they have electricity there will be a TV with American films or programs playing and quite probably a fridge with coke/Pepsi inside
@Flash Gordon and in s.india for stealing water and passing off poisonous byproduct as 'fertilizer' selling it to local subsistence farmers .
USA predatory foreign policy , cultural hegemony plus poisonous commercial enterprise. Yeah other countries know all about America
Important yet fun stuff...thanks for this!
i love this movie. saw the new Michael Moore movie yesterday "where to invade next"
basically about him traveling to more socialized countries with
progressive taxes and good built into taxes, no extra medical bills
healthcare for all citizens and more paid time off, money for
vacations, amazing healthy food for lunch at schools for kids in france
(public schools not fancy schools-) higher wages, friendly ceo's and
unions for workers to get their rights met, the education system in
finland is amazing with shorter days for kids and many speak multiple
languages, no standardized tests, happier kids, more art and music as
part of the normal learning. in finland students are encouraged to be
happy, play, balance their school work with time with family and
friends. brought me to tears many times.
+Shannon Kringen You loved the movie?You`re one of the few."Where to Invade Next" has been a terrible box office performer.The take is so low the film might actually lose money.
@@1994g0
Not really strange. The Americans are actually shown (without been seen)
as extremely stupid. And who will pay to see him self as an Idiot.
Of cause, we will, people all around the world. We can`t understand why people in
US, don`t have Universal Health Care etc,
but people in US don`t have Democracy and therefor no Power
I saw this documentary only because there was a UA-cam Ad. I would have never had known about it until I saw it on Netflix. Great documentary!
I have cut my cable years ago.
With regard to that boy who asked the first question.
The USA got a leap start in hardware and software thanks to world war II. Many European scientists emigrated to the USA, some were captured by the Americans (the organisations which eventually developed into the CIA). The first computers were developed by both Americans and Europeans and the Pentagon financed it. Back then it was from a commercial point of view not interesting, for war reasons it had potential.
That is one reason why the USA has more tech startups.
Besides, stuff like the iPhone is being made by tenths of companies, if not more, amongst which European companies. The same applies for companies like Intel, they buy a lot of (start up) foreign companies.
Intel, AMD and NVidia might make the chips for the PC's (not for the phones), they do that with a product that comes from the Netherlands.
Just saying, his view might be rather naive. I won't contradict that we can learn a few things from the USA, just like the USA can learn a lot from many European countries.
Truly an amazing movie by Mr. Michael Moore, who found progressive political ideas in countries with governments that care about their citizens' well-being. It's especially amazing how women citizens encourage positive economics & influence their political systems. The Icelandic response to bank fraud actually punished the bankers responsible for the economic collapse. The most surprising facts expressed by those countries were their ideas were based on American ideas. America now focuses on the good of the one ("me"), rather than the good of the many, & that ideology is causing many problems in America for the working class people. Thank you for a really great movie. Hopefully this will remind Americans to take our Democracy from those who don't care about the good of the many.
19:00 Austria: if you're old enough to drink, you're old enough to vote.
I believe we all can learn great think from other countries & other people, that's the message I want to take from this movie, I've lived half of my life in South american and the other half in Europe and I visited the US at least 20 times and I realize there's no perfect place or society but you can be a better human being no matter your location, it is wrong to compare when you don't even experience living in that country and even if you had the experience that's just your opinion for others might be completely different, I believe Moore's intension is to show other ways of living thinking my country/other countries can learn from this examples.
Thanks, Michael, for a loving warm-hearted kind and sad movie that cares for everyone and the children too. Not to suggest that this is any different from your past movies.
From 59 mins onwards...this is the message we ALL need to take home and think over. Tke home and get angry about. Come one people, come on all you smart people! Get on it an start stiring the people up!!!
can't wait to watch the full version of the movie with all the countries ;)
Critics of Moore's appearance. Don't we wish we had five percent of his talent and ability?
They criticize his appearance, because they cant criticize his views. So I would see that as a good thing.
I am from Switzerland and i can tall you is totally different system than in USA! We all have a health insuarance, and have to have one. Thats the only way it works Properly. We have amaizing eduacation system, and nobody is homeless, only by choice. Government protect everyone and tax is not high at all. And by the way salarys are big in Switzerland. We all having a lot of holidays...and and and. Everything you dont have we do... So i am asking my self, why?
lol, "we have no homeless, oh except by choice," lol wtf who would listen to someone like you?
@ Nikolina,...Switzerland has wonderful benefits that many countries can learn from and try to imitate, BUT It's impossible to make the comparison between governing Switzerland and the USA, for many, many reasons. Apples and oranges. Actually apple seeds and orange trees.
For starters, Switzerland is tiny in landmass and population. The entire Swiss population (8 million) is that of a small city, the population is quite homogeneous and 20% of them in just two cities. (93% of the country are of German, French or Italian descent with little to no ethnic diversity), making it MUCH easier to govern than a huge country of 325 million of every race, color ,creed and background.
I think a good analogy would be to try sitting in a room with 4 white men and ask them to agree on something. Anything. It's not difficult to achieve relatively quickly. Their wants, needs and desires will be similar. Then sit in a room with 170 people of every imaginable socio-economic, cultural background and ask them to agree on anything. It simply won't happen because their wants, needs and desires vary greatly. This is just one of many reasons why we can't draw the comparison. There are more.
As an American, I am envious of much of what you have mentioned but sadly we will never see it.
you are defended by the US taxpayer, which is how you have one DIME for all that bs.
Because Switzerland is the innocent bystander in world events. Consider a car accident: a driver runs over a pedestrian with his vehicle and many people are present. The driver now has a damaged vehicle and a legal dilemma. The pedestrian has injuries and a hospital bill. The good Samaritans who come to the pedestrian's aid surrender their own time and resources. They save the victim's life and call the ambulance. They help pay the hospital bill. The driver wants to leave and hide but the good people won't let him. Reports are made to the police and witnesses give testimony in court, taking more time and money. Switzerland is none of these people. Switzerland is the guy who walks by and keeps on going. He has done nothing so he has incurred no expenses. One day it may be him that is injured, but until then he enjoys the best outcome. Folks, please be a good Samaritan when you can. Please don't be Switzerland.
@@drrydog
I would, I`m from Norway, its the same here, we have 5-6 weeks payd Vacation, free Health Care, Free Schools etc.
The same in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Island.
I believe its the same all over Europa.
You're being tricked in America, the rich are getting away with all the money, you dont get your share.
It is a shame to see the host so disoriented and unsure about Google's history. Michael was great! Thanks for doing this and prepare the host nex time.
University of California charged tuition in the 1970s at $208 per quarter plus admin fees, $90 parking/yr, $125/quarter books. Very expensive to live close enough to walk to school and loans did not pay for support then, just tuition, if that--and you had to get parents to sign a disclosure or move out. No one could afford it without help--min. wage was $1.65/hour and only those jobs were available to young people unless they got a job in a grocery store where union wages were much higher.
I knew kids who went to state college, worked to pay their tuition and lived at home. Tuition was $170/semester plus $70 parking and $100 books/semester. Doable. And junior college was nearly free--$5.00 reg fee they'd waive if you said it was too expensive. Free parking. Lots of kids finished JC. And working people went at night. Rent nearby was no higher than elsewhere. People finished JC while working to save $$ for their final 2 yrs, then borrowed to attend state college or U.C. It worked tho it was hard.
Lots of us worked during college but our grades suffered as did our learning--but we had no debt when parents helped. Not the free ride MM asserted. The free ride days were more like 100 yrs ago. Or after WW2. Back when only men were allowed to go to college. Watch an old movie from the 1930s--universities were only white males!
21:36 I don't know what he means by tasty, but maybe they should implement a diverse dietary plan, so children can develop a more sophisticated sense of taste, instead of making them addicted to super-sweet or super-salty crap.
I heard that you need to diversify a child's diet starting about 9 months prior to birth. The developing fetus apparently gets information about what to eat in the womb. Then there is another important period of food exposure immediately after birth that extends for some period (I can't recall how long) where it is vital to introduce a wide variety of food tastes. Or we can just let our children's brains get hijacked by salt, fat and sugar like everyone else...
+Low lines "9 months prior to birth"? so u mean at conception? hold on, lemme just get my "can tell if your pregnant after ejaculation" kit ...
+JD McKinstry Thank YOU for your words of wisdom!
As IF pregnant women don't have ENOUGH to contemplate - now someone tells 'us' we need to be mindful of our food intake - from the moment our eggs do the 2-step with our partner's sperm!
I doubt the benefits of 'keying-in' nutrition diversity - practically from the moment of conception - would outweigh the risks of NOT doing so.
You're *seriously* taking nutritional advice from that guy? Look at him!
bcubed72 hahahaha I know right? That's like taking advice from a dude in a body cast from jumping off a cliff into a shallow fast moving river, telling you to jump off a cliff into a shallow fast moving river.
40:10 She NAILED it. Facist government they got.
Wow. It's nice to watch an actual Q & A with this Film Maker. However, it would have been more interesting in a largely diverse environment unlike Google.
I wish you would increase the audio so us old folks can hear clearly.
Live in various Scandinavian countries, Japan, Germany and even France etc and one thing jumps out at you. The citizens look around and see people who look just like them, work hard like them, value education like them and have the same work ethic which makes it easier to mentally process the idea of government benefits being shared.Whereas here in the states you look around and see some people who look like you, but a lot who do not. And a lot who do not have the same values and work or educational ethics. And here in the states you have so many people who put personal desires above what is good for the common good. People who choose poor choices and then expect society to support the consequences of the poor choices. One does NOT see this in Scandinavian countries, Japan, Germany.
+Beth Grant-DeRoos exactly, and just imagine whatever you said, keeping South Asian countries like mine, India and also African ones. They're even worse than USA! (I am not sure about the value system about African countries, but in my opinion, about my country, it's what you have said about USA)
+Beth Grant-DeRoos High trust societies are at the very least culturally homogeneous. High levels of social support only work if there is a culture of unity which shames failure so people do not take advantage. Currently high diversity, highly individualistic countries/cultures have very low trust and so such systems do not work. In fact the scandainavian countries are effectively undermining their own model with the mass influx of refugees, so their model is bound to fail sooner or later.
People like moore need to realize they can't go around pushing identity politics at the same time as their socialist policies, it just doesn't work together.
+wooo weee In a telephone call with friends and family in Sweden, and Denmark have seen a full circle shift in Syrians coming to their countries, not because they don't want to help but because a majority are unskilled young male, and because there is no desire to become more Swedish/Dane. Instead the refugees want Sweden and Danmark/Denmark to become more like the Muslim countries these refugees have escaped from. And its making the Swedes and Danes very very uneasy. German friends express similar concerns.
Bullshit. About 90% of the population are white in Sweden, Germany and the UK. Very different social setups
glad i am living in Norway
Be careful - Trump wants you to move here. (U.S.)

Sorry Michael, but the first transatlantic telegraph cable was laid across the floor of the Atlantic from Ireland to Newfoundland, Canada. The first transmission occurred August 16, 1858. The second one was laid from New York.
My mother cried a long time after watching this movie. A week later she died. Our country is fucked. RIP mom. Thanks mister Moore for waking us up.
Like a citizen, vote for change...
And let s see what your new president Biden will make for you. Surely more better than the other one - with a fat ass in love with golf and young girls...
its bc of these liberal aholes our country is so fkd up !!!
I live in Finland and I have always thought private schools odd for the well being society. In private schools a kid with rich parents, but who may be dumb as bricks will take a place for a kid with better qualifications and/or be more interested in the subject of his/her study (but doesn't have rich parents or get a scholarship). This is not good for society since it encourages a creation of backdoor aristocracy instead of a meritocracy that is good for both private sector and public sector.
+BahamaBlue123 I don't suggest that we get rid of private schools. First whatever country want's a good educational process has to get rid of the "Those who can't do, teach"-mentality and start respecting teachers of every educational level more (this may be the hardest step, since you can't force people to change their minds). Second while you should be allowed to send your child to whatever entrance exams you or she/he want's. After that it should be up to how well he/she does in the exam etc. There should be some kind of "separation of church and state" between the financial side of the school and those who choose the students. The school bursar should not choose the students.
Yes but we are talking about European public schools not American ones. I have lived in the 14th I believe it was richest county and the school there where a bit better than the mountain town with almost 30K people. Still they where barley better at all and that was in one of the richest ares. I mean in San Jose and near cupertino there are giant corporations millions of people yet still there where more people in the classroom but some other things where a bit more modern.
I think that the major difference between American educational system and European (at least Scandinavian) one is that America prioritizes freedom and we prioritize fairness. This is not only in education and both views have strengths and flaws, which are not just about left-right politics. For example freedom gives better education for the student by finding the best teachers and encouraging competition. This also gives a (smaller number) of experts to the job-market. Fairness gives the student more mobility to educate his/her strengths and interests no matter the background and giving the job-market (a larger number of) jack-of-all-trades workers, who might not have as good of an education, but can be more interested in their field, since they chose it instead of their background "choosing" it for them.
Another related point is weather competition or co-operation is better for: 1.The worker 2. The firm 3. The society, but I would not want to start a partisan/patriotic flamewar, so I'll try to remain neutral and "middle-wing" when commenting.
I am an American and I just watch this movie and all I have to say is oh my God!
I just want to say thank you Michael Moore for presenting me with this profound Insight of everything that I have missed
just saw 'where to invade next'. brilliant! inspiring! it will make you laugh, cry, and pissed-off about how american innovations have been fully realized by european societies while whittled away in our own country. very objectively presented, so impossible to deny. thank you for this ingenious documentary!
Michael Moore, one of my heroes.
not saying much for yourself
A great talk but you all really need to turn your audio volume up. Too quiet especially for the audience's questions. What's up with that. You guys are Google, for god's sake. you should have a handle on tech.
+Toosin Beymen it's your audio system... sounds fine to me w/ crappy earbuds
Michael is such a good story teller
The Americans should watch this video!!!
As I read many americans hate his guts. Apparently they are alergic to facts, when the said facts don't support their idea of the greatest country in the world.
i can only imagine whats going on in his mind. He must be a super thoughtful guy. The filmmaking i suppose helps him to put his thoughts and ideas into something he is able to share with us people.

I go to a cinema maybe once a year (or once in 2 years). I prefer watching films at home. I hate it when people are eating, drinking and talking around me, checking their phones, kicking my seat from the back and when there is a big head in front of me through which I cannot see aynthing. Also, I prefer watching a film on my own. When I go to a cinema with a friend of mine, I feel like I wasted the time we had together which we could have used for talking and really being together and enjoying each other's company instead of just sitting next to each other and ignoring each other for 2 hours.
I like his Dead Kennedy's reference. Lol
The effort of the USA after the WWII in Germany was not to write a constitution for Germany. German professionals have been able to write a constitution by themselves. But the effort of the USA was to generate a room or a climate in witch the Germans could produce there own Constitution. We Germans are thankful for the USA to defend the plans for a new human, social, liberal, moderate, democratic State in Germany against all resistance of France and Great Britain. These nations were interested to throw back Germany in a state of humiliation and depression, such like after the WWI. The great effort of the US was to break through the law of revenge and to see that there only can be peace in Europe, when the nations of Europe started to work together instate of fighting against each other and to enumerate all crimes of each other. The German constitution has its pattern on the constitution on the Waimarain Republic in the most issues. But important issues had to be changed. The US and the other allies without the Soviet Union checked up the new constitution on some special standards and finally allow the political elites to establish a new nation with the new constitution. Germany did already have social security and medicare before the WWII, but it was not as developed as in the later German Federal Republic.
Hitler and Merkel are puppets of the Zionists? I disagree harshly. I think you overestimate the power and the influence of the Zionists by far. It would be the most stupid thing for Germany to leave the EU and change the currency. The issue to change into an EU on different velocities is to discuss. But other nations are not willing to follow Germany alone. Germany must be in company with France. Sadly France is not as in a comfortable situation as Germany. But without the British, many political discussion can be held more easily. BREXIT is not only a fault, but in some cases it can be a comfortable advantage to the EU.
This poor guy is always judged by his looks than his ideas
Exactly!! He is gourgess inside, I love his mind, everything he makes I will watch with such absorption, he is reality check every time.

I think the problem of high college tuition expenses will resolve itself as soon as the gov't quits feeding It. Every year, tuition increases and every year the government pays more. That's why college costs so much! The colleges know in advance exactly how much they can charge.
I wish Michael Moore was president but he's too smart for that
I'm going to point out something that no one has mentioned during the talk, or had a question about it, but yet something that I see as THE BEST example of BEING HUMAN/CIVILIZED, and that is the moment in the film when Michael asked Norwegian father would he kill his sons killer if he had a chance and he responded with NO! He said that in doing so HE would become a killer, that he would be on the same level as a man who killed his son, and that it's beneath him as a human being.
Violence should not be, could not be, can not be dealt with more violence! And I think that is something that we MUST teach our children!
The trajectory of the human experience may be changed with Bernie Sanders win tonight in Wisconsin. Senator Bernie Sanders - next best thing to Jesus! Keep the faith! : )
go to 39:07 hope youre awake now America...
I don't think there are literally more or less enlightened countries per se but rather socio-economic auspices. I've seen European countries. I live in one of them. The idea is that policy and mass media propaganda will set what is acceptable and what isn't. I'm sorry to say this but people as a mass are not that enlightened. USA's course of history has seen the country move from a 3'rd world status in the 20s to 50% of world's GDP past WW2 and now it slides back and if you look at the economy and world politics, you begin to see a trend. The New Deal which is so often mentioned these days, Sanders being a New Dealer (not a socialist, I know what socialism is, I've lived in all forms of it), this New Deal was USA's response to actual socialism growing in USA, it's method to salvage capitalism. The way I see USA is that there are 2 distinct entities, a republic and an empire. And the empire is chipping away at the republic and thus cutting the branch from underneath it's feet, like a cancer which kills it's host. Europe is looked up at by some Americans I think because as a snapshot, it looks somewhat better. But let's not forget that us Europeans nearly exterminated ourselves twice. Like Chomsky said, _in other places, killing is a sport. In Europe, it's an art_. As this lesson of history fades away, we'll slide back into the dark ages (hopefully not) and this illusion of enlightenment with it. Likewise there was this aura of American success back when it was the engine of innovation and economy and now that it outsourced and privatized everything, it has faded away.
I hope my unstructured and condensed rant is of any worth to anyone.
+TechnocraticBushman As for this PC nonsense that's very virulent and attacking USA's immune system, it's auto-correct mechanism, it's not invented in USA. I think the French are to blame for it with their post-modern relativistic crap and means for the intellectuals to get away with being ardent Stalinists only to discover the gulags in the 90s, which later migrated and infested the humanities departments of USA universities.
When it comes to philosophy USA has been the birth place of pragmatism which I can't stress enough how important is to the sane development of society. I'd just love to see someone argue against it. It would be an epic intellectual suicide :D
TechnocraticBushman
Why would anyone argue against a fact.
We Europeans were at each other's throats for more than 3'000 years, and via inquisition and other interregional, 'misguided', feudal government systems and legislature, causing, yes, horrid socio-economic conditions for the majorities. We have managed to reduce our reproduction rate by digits...
We've come along way. We call it evolution, learning, maturing, rising, progressing, etc. The Important thing is what we all learn from our mishaps, and I mean as a species. Now, that's where we don't look so good, and we can't blame it all on misguided auspices.
All our resources go up in 'smoke' in wars and competition, one against the other...
Our largest spendings and efforts, go toward our own demise. I question our intelligence.
As it stands, we are a despicable species on a well deserved self destruct course.
In my viewing angle, we, the common people, are as much to blame as the ruling class we accuse of covertly, illegally and unethically controlling us. Every time we purchase a product, we have a choice. Mostly we make the wrong choice because it is convenient. Then we blame our leaders for allowing bad products to be made and rotten services to be sold.
We have the choice, almost every time we are being consumers.
In a few millennia, we have managed to bring the ecosystem of our home planet to the edge of collapse.
Do you call that intelligent?
This collapse will be but a hiccup to the planet. We'll have been gone for a few decades
and Earth will rejoice and sigh,
'Good riddance, now where were we before this mishap?'.
Alexander Somm very well said. The earth probably won't tolerate us much longer. We live on the peel of an orange. At any given time (as it's been happening for 4 billion yrs) the crust will shift and the majority of us (if not all) will parish. It's the cycle of the universe. Mother nature will eventually step in, call us all fucktards and wipe us out lol. Humans aren't going to stop a glacial period and we are due. Being roughly ten thousand five hundred yrs into an interglacial, it's coming time. And I'm sure dinosaur facts didn't cause the last shift, or interglacial lol its just the planet we live on evolving.
TechnocraticBushman one of the best comment on UA-cam . You took the words out of my mouth . With all these forms of propaganda people cannot call a spade a spade . They are wrongly influenced to come to a wrong conclusion that doesn’t better society rather keeps it divided and these propaganda are intentionally designed for this purpose .
It's true americans go abroad to kill people xD
I wish I could learn the art of making documentaries from Michael Moore
I have to make a documentary project next week, any tips or ideas?

The history of the Czech nationality is one of considerable history and heritage. Not only was the first University in the world begun at Prague, but the original Czechoslovak constitution of Masaryk and Benes based upon the U. S. Constitution, but was the only true democracy in Europe during the inter-war years (1919-1939). With "friends" like Great Britain and France, it's no wonder that they were up against a major challenge to carry out a sophisticated democracy. While General Pilsudsky and the "Three Colonels" of Poland, allied themselves with Germany (!), but alienated themselves from Czechoslovakia by making more demands upon their nearby neighbor during and after the Munich crisis by demanding Czech and Slovak lands--completely and blatantly (stupidly) unaware that they were the next German target. Czechoslovakia had the second largest munitions manufacturer in Europe during the inter-war years (a company [Skoda] Hitler hungered for and as high quality as Krupp), but a well-trained army second to none in Europe, the highest rated Intelligence Service next to the British and Soviets', and a defense line which after testing, made Hitler gasp that he would have had a much bigger fight in 1938 than he ever reckoned with attacking. The Czechs were sold out by the British and French in 1938 for one (1!) year of peace, the Ukraine sawed off the tip of Slovakia and stole it for the Soviet Union, the Hungarians did the same with their demands to a wounded nation after the Munich Pact of 1938. Masaryk's son was murdered by Stalin's goons after a March 1948 putsch attempt which succeeded largely due to the Soviet Union's occupation of the country following the last year of World War II. His foreign policy would have opened doors to a further democratization of the country had he not been murdered. How dare anyone dismiss a country which carried out an effective, non-violent velvet revolution in December 1989, while the Romanians resorted to mass violence to make a governmental change? What country would put an anti-Soviet communist Dubcek on the central committee during the Prague Spring of 1968? What country would elect a poet (Havel) as its President in the '90s? What leader would allow the country to divide without blood as Havel negotiated a division between the Slovaks and Czechs in January 1993? I don't seem to recall the United States doing this, or Nigeria in 1970? Or Mongolia from China? The Czechs and Slovaks were administered by the Austrians and Hungarians prior to 1919 but the Czechs managed to stay independently rebellious beginning with Huss during the Reformation. Anyone who sees this nation as "inconsequential" is either a philistine conservative who hasn't read a book in his/her life or is some profoundly gifted ignorant individual.
The movie is not about invading other countries. It's about the things those countries implemented that are working, many ideas of which started in the US. Just see it before you make any judgments. It's very funny and uplifting because we can change things.
WHAT A MESS THIS MAN IS. I FEEL BAD FOR THE GUY.
I have often wondered why the US seem so uninterested in looking at how other countries do things when trying to find a solution to a problem.
Some great thoughts and commentary on the current climate. Not exactly positive in outlook but trying to turn the corner of American thought.
Why does Michael Moore look like an out of work lesbian trucker?
LOL
+CiniCraft
Because you're a ditship.
Lol, and she needs a shave.
He has always looked/dressed like this. Listen to him if you are upset with his looks. It is the young ppl today who look great but open their mouths and you wonder how they got through high school. He has had some great ideas.
+CiniCraft Bigger question, why did millionaire Michael Moore get invited to meet publicly and in private with presidents of multiple countries and drug czar and police officials, dressed just like that, and get them to be on camera on his movie, but can't get that in America, our *Land of the Free*, with our great representative republican model of democracy?
Masters of Universe working for peanuts at GOOGLE: alot of stuff has happened since this.... invite him back.
Brilliant mikey
I wish I could see more movies in the theater, it's just gotten so comically expensive to do. 2 tickets and a snack will run you around $40. Holy crap.
+Brad Kolar 2cokes, a popcorn, 2 adult tickets $45 in Seattle lol. you're right, it sucks.
+Brad Kolar Same here in Europe :(, the ticket prices have risen 10 to 15 fold over the last 20-25 years.
Here's something interesting "Manufacturing Dissent: Uncovering Michael Moore"
In UK get 20 days paid holiday plus 8 bank holidays (national holidays) I try to take days off either side of bank holiday so I get a long weekend
Why don't people go to movies anymore? Used to be that with one theater in a town, it could show a new feature every two weeks, and the average person could see maybe half of the important moves released in a year. Now there are 100 theaters in town each showing 14 films at the same time, and they don't manage to show half the important films made in a year.
Michael is a great extemporaneous speaker and spot on with his evaluations. Thanks, Michael !
He was so right about Trumps unelectabilty, its like he has some form of ESP and your ability to spot this is truly remarkable. Well done both of you. Gifts to your fellow man
@@munsterabu Moore was the 1st on the left to actually say that Trump would win long before any of the RNC mob believed he would.
He was correct though that Trump was unelectable, something that never stopped Nixon or G W Bush either.
Pretty crazy watching this in 2021
Michael Moore for president!
gota love Michael moore ;-] the far right is terrorfied of him. he is the walking internet.
On 01/04/2020 .....
... This is fun, FUnn, FUNNY...!!!
Cool backdrop.
Right on Michael.................
Would love to see a Moore documentary about the two original sins
Voting every 4 years isn't enough
Educational systems are a direct reflection of there govt , true higher learning is not asking a child to pay you to teach them about the world and how to act in it , true higher learning is knowing that child you teach , and show compassion to may end up being the same one that wipes your ass when your old .
This is a great movie if you haven’t seen it you should where to invade next is just great
How can we have any confidence in the polls with what we have learned in the primary?
St. Michael speaketh!
