The religious right have subjected us to plenty of inane laws and constitutional violations. I'm an atheist and most of my family are still Christian and I fear the kind of idiocy they and their ilk might implement if we ever returned to a religious right in the ascendency. However, that possibility is comically far away. The cringe makes it impossible for me to finish watching your tribalistic, dogmatic, essentially religious "takedown" of Trump's religious followers. Neo-Marxism and the globalist threat are so much more insidious, so much more destructive to Western Civilization, and yet your tribal, religious mind will not allow you to properly analyze and recognize that threat. Instead you mock (some genuinely idiotic) people who notice aspects of this threat and give it their own idiotic, religious interpretation. Again, these dingbat theists may be part of a political movement but their influence is not very concerning. The great degradation we're experiencing across the West, from the Anglosphere to Germany to Italy to Norway to France et al (see the most recent mass uprising and violence in France) is the result of a de facto global oligarchy who are ascendent and at war with the white, Western world. (Also, Emma, the most alarming fact that is being suppressed is that of race. See 'A Troublesome Inheritance' by Nicholas Wade or 'Human Diversity' by Charles Murray. These mainly cover the issue from the perspective of the human genome but genetics simply confirm broad conclusions already known from twin studies, expat studies, IQ studies, socio-economic data, history, etc. Attempting to accommodate this one suppressed, forbidden truth will, in itself, dramatically change your worldview. But you don't have the stomach for that, you need your tribe. Your vanity needs a crowd to virtue-signal to.) Your inability to criticize your own tribe and question your own dogmatic views on politics and economics is fascinating and ironic.
Would definitely watch you watch and react films you like. You are intelligent, funny and quite a handsome person, I have no doubt it would be delightful to watch you reacting to something you are actually wanting to watch HUGS
@@bow-tiedengineer4453 Yes, but they have grown out of it, so it's not unfair for them to critique us for it. They recognize it. Maybe we can learn the lesson faster than them. It doesn't happen by pretending it's not true.

@@runewolf77 Is the Ethiopian Bible the oldest Bible in the world? The Garima Gospels are three ancient Ethiopic manuscripts containing all four canonical Gospel Books, as well as some supplementary material like lists of Gospel chapters. Garima 2, the earliest, is believed to be the earliest surviving complete illuminated Christian manuscript.
My father literally had to sit in a clinic and decide whether or not he'd go to the hospital when covid had him struggling to breathe. Ultimately he signed a paper refusing care because he knew we couldn't afford it. We live in a dystopia. He literally decided to risk death rather than put our family in debt. Luckily he turned out OK. But him explaining to me why he didn't go to the hospital broke my heart. He knew it'd be okay if he did pass because I'm an adult and could take over helping my mom keep the family safe. He should NOT have had to go through that fear.
@@YogonKalisto Thank you for your empathy. It was really scary as a 21 year old woman Thinking that I might have to fill my father's role in my family. All because the system in the US puts you in debt for being ill or injured.
How anyone (hypothetically) can deal with that and emerge ever saying 'best country in the world' is astonishing. Yet, any nation that has a public health system and Murdoch media is busy defending that system against endless attack.
“can a whole country have main character syndrome” as an american, yes, this describes my country perfectly tbh. also imagining Emma in the american flag polo has me on the floor 😂
as someone who grew up mormon and is no longer mormon, the line where you said "if you're that obsessed with Americanism in the bible, thats what mormonism is for" really got me 😂😂😂 and its soooo true.
Left the Mormon church when they said I had to teach the children to sustain trump- grabbed my child out of her class, my car keys and split ! Never returned .
You saved your children from a cult. Yourself too! Congratulations. It took me almost 50 years to get out of Christian fundamentalism. It’s hard looking back with so much regret. Get yourself a great life. You have some time. I’m so fortunate we sent our sons to college, so our children are not caught up in that cult. You left early, so your kids will hopefully not have too much indoctrination. You were the smart one the day you walked out.
What's especially stupid is the fact that by the time those children are even able to vote, He will probably be dead... (Small note, and they say WE are trying to brainwash the children. 🙄🙄)
Darwin has this one: Empathy is a valid survival strategy to employ in a species. In fact, cooperation seems to be the preferred survival strategy for a social species...

@superclaymaster yeah I feel you. It makes me curious on what the excuses will be in 50 years when the end times don't come. I'll be 24 in August, personally I'm excited for the future. It's gonna be fun. Chips, more peace with sensibly organized chaos as more for fun and less for "let's kill each other cuz holy war" lmao.

As an American I absolutely hate that we don't have free or accessible healthcare. It's like oh no I'm sick or injured and need to go to the hospital. Now I can't afford to eat for the next year!
The "Welp, guess I'll die." meme comes to mind. I hate watching my mom struggle to cover her medical expenses and being too strapped on my own to do much to help.
The fact that they included Paula White, a female prosperity gospel preacher who makes false prophecies, all of which are spoken against in the Bible, is hysterical. I wonder if they even thought this through.
Yeah kind of funny one of the reasons people broke from the Catholic Church was because they wanted to read the bible. Then promptly white out the parts they don't like
Not that she's the only one in this movement. There are so many self-proclaimed prophets in MAGA, (a number of them women) all making the same claims that never pan out and yet no one on their side mentions what the Bible says you're supposed to do with false prophets. It ain't "give 'em another chance"! Honestly, it would be less terrifying if it were just a grift instead of a batshit insane death cult that thinks it can force God's hand and trigger Armageddon.

@@davidtaylor142 In the rest of the world, it's a philosophy about increasing political freedom and individual autonomy. But in the USA it more or less means a default conservative position except supporting free trade. Occasionally, it's also wanting to decriminalize some drugs.
Absolutely, have you seen Washington DC with all its faux-Roman Empire motif? The fact that NY calls itself the EMPIRE STATE?! The US (that we stole from the natives) was born with an enormous chip on our shoulder.
As an American, the whole “we’re no longer the USA if we stop thinking we’re better than everyone” has the same sad, insecure vibes as a narcissist saying they won’t know who they are if they’re not the center of the world. Bro…maybe that’s something to explore
That's also the entire theme behind their religion too, they believe the world was made for them and that they are the chosen few who are favored by god. It's such a childish way to view the world, and so bereft of any shred of self-awareness. They can't fathom that the universe is actually indifferent to them, it hurts their ego too much.
@@drhexagonapus that's not American. That's specifically American Evangelicals and Mormons. Garden-variety Christians believe the same thing but generally without the nationalism. Judaism is the same, and Zionists are like their equivalent of Evangelical nationalists.
Favorite joke about Thatcher: Once I was interviewing to be a swim instructor. They asked me "What's your favorite stroke?" Apparently, "the one that killed Margaret Thatcher" isn't the answer they were looking for.

@@immortalsofar5314 Based on the way that whiteleftists hate their own skinkind and seem to want to perform a "reverse colonization" where before native americans had their land taken and their people and culture scattered and depopulated, Im not so sure the Ns were actually wrong. If the Native americans successfully fought off the whites as "foreign invaders' everyone on the whiteleft side would be praising their bravery for resisting the destruction of their culture and gene group as a people by "people of a a different ethnic group". Whiteleftists if they were black would be called race traitors, no doubt. If they were In a black country and were fighting for white mass migration to enter, and saying "our peoples culture is the worst and we dont deserve to have land", I think that black person in that black country would probably disappear very quickly, and then whitelefts living in western countries would also condemn those "traitors". Its an odd position for whiteleftists to hold, that ethnostatism would be right for nigerians and native americans who are losing their culture and being replaced by colonizing whites, but that when the reverse starts happening suddenly thats okay. The only conclusion I can draw from this is whitelefts are like the jewish people in WW2 who actually helped the nazis detain and boxcar their own people. Extreme self loathing. In fact, Attack on Titan did a mindfreak twist in the last season to show this very behavior, where "the good ones" who were working with the advanced civ govt A to kill their own people who were stuck in quasi-midieval technology on an island, were doing so because they wanted to prove their worth and thus show they were better human beings, despite the fact they all had to wear yellow sunburst armbands (imagery), and their ethnic people were otherwise corralled in fenced off sections of city. History is full of such "ethnic traitors", aka, so called race traitors. Whitelefts are exactly this kind of person. IN fact, going back to Attack on Titan, there is one person in particular who is trying to exterminate his entire own ethnic group specifically BECAUSE of "the evils our ethnic group did in the past and society would be better off". I can google "whiteness must end" and "white people must be stopped for the sake of the world" and I can google "whites must pay a 100% wealth tax" and "jews must pay waelth tax in germany" and I can see exactly where all this is going. While the N words were wrong for how they went about it, they absolutely would not be wrong in a whiteleft worldview for wanting to maintain their ethnic group, IF a whiteleft person gave them the same charity as they give indian reservations. If we saw a sudden influx of white people into native american reservations, who then brought a criminal element to them which was burning their temples and religious pieces down, trying to subvert their culture from within, all the "good whites" would not matter. You'd call for expulsion of all of them because of the threat the minority of whites causing trouble poses. You know how I know this? The Haiti mass unliving and ethnic cleansing is defended by leftists because blacks were oppressed and ending every white person's life on the island was fine, regardless of whether or not the white person actually did anything wrong or harmed a black person with slavery. In other words, guilt is ethnically collective.
You can love the land you live in without loving the way inequality is lauded. The way being blinkered is something to be proud of and religion is used to excuse both of these things. Please add on any other complaints you have with your countries behaviour while still loving the land you live on.
Not so fun fact: Prager of PragerU is now in charge of curriculum at PUBLIC SCHOOLS in Florida. I got mixed up with the end times ministries as a homeless teenager in the late 80’s and I almost lost my life to the “minister” who took me in. I’m really glad to hear someone talking about it. You’re doing great things! My 17 year old brought home a free pamphlet she picked up as a joke yesterday, and the stuff in it really brought me back and made me feel ill. It was all about the seven seals and the first, second, third, through seventh “trumps”? America is messed up right now. Really looking around and hoping to get my kids out of this country.
@@keirfarnum6811on the one hand, thank god those absolutely insane fucks aren’t in charge of curriculum. On the other hand, how can anyone think using PragerU for anything is a good idea? On an unrelated note this explains the some of the shit I’ve had in my tutoring sessions.

No, Emma, you're not crazy. Most of us Americans hate our health care system too. However, because of a lack of education, a lot of middle- and lower-class people have been tricked into thinking that the government is gonna take their money to pay for universal healthcare. (I mean, it's probably not a stretch since we know they'd never tax the rich to pay for something like that.) So, they don't vote for people that try to improve the healthcare system because they already have so little money to live on. It really sucks, because there are people running (and people currently in Congress, like AOC) who would like to tax the rich to pay for these things, but because of lobbyists, they don't get very far.
I live in Hawai'i and i was always wondering why people on the continent complained about health care. I didn't realize when I was younger that health care depended on the state and we here have the closest to universal health care than any other state. Very few slip through the cracks here.
Don't forget about wait times. I had a coworker who didn't want universal healthcare because then we would have long wait times like Canada. That irony that she was complaining about losing healthcare if she quit when she needed medicine to live was lost on her
My fellow Americans have an infuriating habit of demanding that we spend ten dollars in the private sector to save two dollars in taxes (even when we get an inferior product in the process).
I even tried pointing out that if they took an extra 5% off your income you wouldn't even notice it unless you made over hundred thousand a year, my insurance costs about 300 a month and it is completely garbage I'm better off dying then ever going to a doctor but I keep in case I end up in the ER..... I would love to spend less money overall and insure everyone has access to healthcare then pay more and just cover my own needs
@@johngibson4874 The craziest thing is that the wait times in the US vs. other nations aren't all that large [excluding Canada because Canada is a massive outlier compared to any country in that statistic.] It should also be noted that the only data on this that exists for comparisons of the US to other countries comes from surveys. There is not a more definitive/authoritative source that include the US in their data... & those surveys are pretty much exclusively ones carried out by The Commonwealth Fund. As some examples [to try & save space they are listed from best to worst nation along with the specific percentages in parenthesis] : A 2021 survey for older adults [65+] Percentage of people who waited 6 or more days for an appointment when sick: Germany (4%) | Netherlands (5%) | Switzerland (9%) | UK (14%) | New Zealand (15%) | Australia (17%) | Norway (20%) | France (21%) | US (22%) | Sweden (22%) | Canada (31%) A 2021 general population survey Percentage of people able to see a doctor or nurse on the same or next day the last time they needed medical care Germany (75%) | Netherlands (66%) | Australia (65%) | France (53%) | Switzerland (53%) | UK (52%) | US (49%) | Norway (47%) | Canada (38%) | Sweden (33%) A 2016 general population survey Percentage of people able to see a doctor or nurse on the same or next day the last time they needed medical care Netherlands (77%) | New Zealand (76%) | Australia (67%) | Switzerland (57%) | UK (57%) | France (56%) | Germany (53%) | US (51%) | Sweden (49%) | Canada (43%) | Norway (43%) Percentage waiting 2 or more hours for care in emergency room France (9%) | Germany (18%) | Netherlands (20%) | Australia (23%) | US (25%) | Sweden 26%) | New Zealand (30%) | UK (32%) | Norway (34%) | Sweden 39%) | Canada (50%) A different 2016 general population survey Percentage waiting more than 4 weeks for specialist appointment US (25%) | Switzerland (26%) | Germany (27%) | Netherlands (29%) | UK (43%) | Sweden 45%) Percentage waiting more than 4 months for elective surgery Germany (0%) | Netherlands (4%) | US (4%) | Switzerland (7%) | Sweden (12%) | UK (12%) However in that same survey the percentage who skipped care [seeing a doctor when sick, recommended treatment/test, and/or filling a prescription or skipping doses,] Germany (7%) | UK (7%) | Netherlands (8%) | Sweden (8%) | Switzerland (22%) | US (33%) That's not even to mention to fact that physicians in the US spend roughly 50% more time on administrative tasks due to the complexities & number of varied requirements of different sources of claims payments... or the 2 to 4 times as many full-time administrative staff members for these same & other reasons compared to other countries.
The average American household spends a larger percentage of their income on health insurance than every country pays in health taxes. And we still have copays and deductibles to meet.
As an American and diehard Socialist, I agree with you - and just know that there is a large segment of Americans fighting against Capitalism, but since we have less money our voices really aren't heard. 😞
You know that socialism is just a less frightening term to communism? Which has failed miserably all the time every time, causing hundreds of millions of people to die and tenfold even more suffering, famine, death of freedoms. MSM does nothing but give voice to globalist lefties and soulless corporations.
It does seem younger people are more open to such ideas since they’re reading about socialism and Communism instead of pro-capitalist propaganda saying that they deserve to be exploited.
I've identified as a communist for well over 4 years now. Have kept it a secret from society and now pleasantly surprised people are coming around to at least criticizing our capitalist system
Thanks for watching this for us, Emma. It never fails to astound me how many conservatives will fall for this drivel hook, line, and sinker while simultaneously decrying mainstream media for being biased and full of lies. The mental gymnastics involved are truly impressive.
I'm an American. I live in a country where people regularly die from preventable or easily treatable illness. An abscessed tooth is a life-threatening condition here. And what's weird, most people just accept this as just the way things are. People who have no health insurance, spend more than half their income on housing, and work three jobs just to pay their bills will argue with you that taxation is theft. We are indoctrinated from an early age that, "if you just work hard and stay out of trouble, you, too, can someday be rich!" That idiot promise has most people here defending the rich. There's also a weird tendency to venerate the uber-wealthy. What's troubling is that this attitude is rarely challenged, and there's small chance that it will ever fundamentally change. From where I sit, it's fed mostly by the unholy alliance between politicians, corporations, the media and evangelical Christian groups. Our nation is a billion-pound powder-keg sitting atop a volcano.
I couldn't have said it better myself. It basically goes back to Reaganomics and the vile hate spewed by talking heads like Rush Limbaugh. All they've done is decrease taxes on big business and wealthy individuals (mostly themselves and their donors), and brainwash people with hateful and fearful rhetoric, often through religion, so they blame each other instead of those who are blatantly responsible. You can see it plainly in the way their elected representatives vote, yet they are too deep in the cult of personality and their belief that the wealth will "trickle down" to reach for anything resembling rational thought. They'd much rather believe that trans minority illegals are somehow responsible for all of their woes, when the reality is that the only enemy is in the mirror. Unfortunately, as you insinuated, the media is as much to blame for it, as they're owned by the same rich people trying to dodge taxes and hoard as much wealth as possible. That, and hate sells better than positivity.
Love your videos. As a born and raised American who was raised in a fundamentalist American Christian household and was told by my parents W won back in 2000 because of a lot of the same reasons why these people say Trump won in 2016, I am constantly frustrated and ashamed of my country. I definitely do not believe it is or ever was the "greatest" country in the world (which honestly, what does that even mean?) and as a queer person who also studies history I am well aware this definitely has not been true for anyone but white Christian cis straight men. And cis straight men of the main religion and race of a country are always going to think their nonsense is awesome for some reason, I guess because they don't have to suffer nearly as much as everyone else does for their bs. I really wish I could leave the US for many reasons, especially because of the awful healthcare and how so many of my neighbors and politicians see me as lesser. It's quite upsetting to live here for many of us, and trust me, many Americans do not even like this country, and we definitely do not think it is the best in the world. Unfortunately for saying such things, conservative Americans call us evil and traitors and "socialists" (which I am a socialist, just not for any reason that most conservatives think because not a single one I've met actually understands the concept). And then they tell us to leave, which is ridiculous because trust me if I could afford to, I would. But also, isn't the point of a "free" country supposed to be that I can critique it? But as per usual, such types tend to think freedom of speech and religion only applies to them. It's a very sad situation over here, and I can say with full confidence, America has never been that great, and almost every problem we have is due to greed (mostly by the rich and not at all by those extremely few who qualify for the tiny bit of welfare the country gives out) and Christian fundamentalism and those who support them.
Important to note. COVID was the reason both died (probably). Jackson had attended the superspreader event at the White House at which Amy Coney Barrett was announced as nominated for the Supreme Court of the US.
Oh my gods, Randall Terry. He’s not just anti-abortion, he’s THE anti-abortion guy. My parents used to take us to picket abortion clinics in the 80s with his org Operation Rescue. Holding up pics of dismembered fetuses, etc. I remember at one they decided to actually block the clinic doors by sitting in front of them. The cops came and i was crying because i thought my parents were going to get arrested.
To clarify, the “they” who decided to block the doors were the Operation Rescue folks running the protest that day. My parents discussed it and decided not to leave the permitted-protest zone on the lawn & sidewalk, but i didn’t understand the legality of the different actions & thought all the adults were in equal trouble.
OMG, the whole world should see this! You’re adorable, intelligent and a great entertainer.👍🏻 I’m so glad you gave this review. I’m sorry you had to endure actually watching it, but I thank you. I would never watch that myself.
It’s so demoralizing thinking about health insurance almost every day here in the USA. I did go bankrupt once because of two major health problems in 3 years. It was no fun being broke and sick at all. Personally to me healthcare is a human right and not just for the wealthy. I’m sure some disagree however most would welcome universal healthcare in my humble opinion Love your channel ❤ and hate the movie and I haven’t even watched it. Probably because I’m a flaming liberal
I remember back like 15 years ago getting super sick. Couldn't afford proper treatment so they gave me ice chips and told me I had a fever of 102F The only thing that saved my butt was a Dr I had as a child willing to see me for free when the fever didn't break.
I'm only partially through this but I just have to say as an American, I am LOVING this video. This video is already fabulous and I'm laughing so much. Thank you, Emma, for going through the hardship of making such a long video!
I’m American and most of us are not like this and do not believe like this! I appreciate your opinion. Fortunately I moved my family to Australia for 2 years to let my children have an adventure and meet people from around the world who have had broader experiences than we have had. ❤
i know..... its worse when your mom talks about donald dumbfuck as if he's the "best" thing since sliced bread, and homophobic/transphobic shit every damn day..... I'm slowly losing my mind!
As a _Veggietales_ fan, I of course immediately had to look up what Eric Metaxas wrote for them - turns out it's the short "Omelette," which is the intentionally hyper-awkward, overly-dramatic Shakespeare parody that the French Peas bring Archibald when he asks for _Hamlet_ (and also contains the series' only crossdressing joke that I'm aware of)
The closest word First Century Israel had to 'Socialist' was 'Christian' (you know 'If you have two shirts and your brother has none, give him one of your shirts', 'Everything they owned, they owned in common, etc.) but they are unlikely to say that.
Best quote of the first quarter of the current century, "If it's so wrong, why do you keep lying about it?" Indeed, this quote is powerfully multipurpose and covers way more than the abortion issue. I love what you do, Emma! And as I'm twice your age, it's so wonderful you're so much like me! 😂
I never understood the "scare tactics" around a one-world government. We're all we've got, we should as one planet be on the same page when it comes to everything from human rights to mitigating climate change to regulating markets.
I have no hope that such a world government could ever exist or that it is sustainable. The moment there is no external threat it will just be destroyed by vicious competition between internal sub-systems.
@@Opposite271 I don't hold out much hope either, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm unable to understand how a world where we get along with our neighbors and are able to work together to solve global problems is somehow evil.
@@jmwild1 Because it's all tied up with the idea that maybe rich people should be prevented from ripping off their fellow man, and the people who call it evil are all rich people who make their riches from ripping off their fellow man.
@@wraitholme Is that what rich people think they'll get to do in heaven too? Because that sounds kinda like the other place. And it's not just rich people who call it evil, they're just the grifters. It's a lot of people who are convinced it's evil who act against their own best interests, they're the ones I don't understand. "Documentaries" like this one are aimed at them.
@@jmwild1 Sadly a lot of people listen to rich people, because they want to be like them... ie, rich. Most of them have no idea what 'globalism' actually is... obviously not, because if they did they'd realise that it's not actually a thing, and the world isn't even remotely close to anything that the conspiracy nuts are claiming. The ignorant are always useful tools for the corrupt.
Yes but that is FUN conspiracy theory, and we all know that we are having fun when we debate what Varys or Littlefinger are really up to - wouldn't it be great if the Q people would just come over to ASIOF Fandom instead?
As an American who loves his country and wants to fix it, these people are deeply embarrassing. They use the virtues of our system to protect themselves while simultaneously undermining it. 😤
I'm with you. I'm deeply disturbed as to where the radical leftists have taken the ideal of liberty and made it into a hammer with which to beat anyone that disagrees with them. As a more moderate liberal, it's scary because I see so many of my compatriots becoming nutjobs that aren't able to moderate their baser instincts. Between that and the damage that the right-wing nuts have been the past 20 years it's like America has become the land of wailing children instead of the home of the brave...
What virtues? The virtues of mass incarceration, misogyny, endless wars in the pursuit of property, coups, exploiting other countries, indigenous genocide? I’m not sure what other virtues our country can rightfully claim
@@ninjoshday I disagree, our constitution has done nothing to really curtail anything I just mentioned. Furthermore, I would posit America has fascist elements baked in. Just cause conservatives are really going off the deep end that doesn’t make any of the liberals less fascistic. What your talking about requires revolution and Americans aren’t gonna do that any time soon. You may not agree with that take but that is how I feel about it. America is a largely right wing country. And it’s only gotten more so since Reagan screwed us with his neoliberalism in the 80’s and than Clinton cemented it. Now we’re just spiraling and our constitution hasn’t swayed any serious positive shift to the left
@@baptizednblood6813 I was specifically referring to the right to free speech and freedom of religion. But yes, you're right, there's a lot about our country that needs fixing. And I think a not insignificant part of starting to fix America would us accepting and acknowledging the bad stuff we've done historically (and continue to do), and learn from it to change for the better. We've a LOT of work to do. How very fascistic of me 🙄
Thoroughly interesting and entertaining. You captured a lot of my thoughts about the politics in America. Everything is so polarised. Great video Emma. Looking forward to seeing more from you.

Im 46, American, and a registered socialist since i could vote. It amazes me the uneducated stance most Americans take on socialism. The worst is those it could benefit who'd rather live out their lives poor and struggling. Just found your page. Loving the content.
FYI, in the Bible, the eagle usually represents Rome (i.e. the Aquila) and the lion (aka Shir) represents Mesopotamia -- in particular, the Persian/Parthian empire. So, for example, when the Book of Daniel 7:4 talks about a lion that gets its eagle's wings torn off, it is probably a reference to the Roman-Seleucid war of 192 bce, in which the Seleucids, who are the lion (even though they were technically Greek, not Persian, but occupied the territory of the ancient Persian Empire) were defeated by the Romans, thus, metaphorically, bringing the lion back down to earth. Daniel is claiming to "predict" this event, even though the Book of Daniel was written after it.
@@Volundur9567 Since there's no such thing as prophesy (because there's no such thing as God) anyone claiming to know the the future through revelation is a charlatan or deluded or both.
Well I mean the Romans co-opted the shit outta it so are we really surprised that they talk about Roman events as somehow biblically relevant. Rome was a slave state, and it justifies it.
Thank you for watching and reviewing that video, Emma. I didn't know I could cringe that hard at a "documentary." I learned something new about myself. Keep up the great work.
I was hospitalized for about 2 years and I remember thinking "I'm so happy I don't live in America!" It was not completely free but it was nothing compared to what it would've been in America. So much for "the greatest nation in history!"
Thank you for reviewing this insane video. I am an American. No, I do not think we are better than everyone else. I do appreciate living here but no place is perfect. So great to share incredulity at the totally bat guano crazy conspiracy theories with you! I think international cooperation is a good thing. I think having government help people is a good thing. And no one I know likes Thatcher. Much love to you!
So wait, in this movie where they're telling viewers to support a wannabe dictator who wants to abolish the constitution, they're saying a dictator who would abolish the constitution is a bad thing?
Kinda like how they tell us they need their AR-15s to protect us from an oppressive dictatorial government, as they vote for the people who hope to turn this into an oppressive dictatorial government.
Hi Emma! You address some important points here. I can’t stress how distressing it is for us who live in the USA, where we see it slipping down a slippery slope of fundamentalism, stupidity, and willful ignorance!!! The dangers of the hypocrisy of the radical right and willful ignorance is deeply disturbing. Please be aware, that for the most part, we are not like that. Keep posting Emma and, while you will have “haters” out there, you need to keep stripping away the BS the radical right continually produces. Good work on this video!❤❤
At least we have each other. And the media. And the corporate world. And academia. And Hollywood. And the FBI. And the Democrats. Did I forget to mention Antifa?
::eye twitch in painful upbringing:: thank you for these videos…I grew up in the evangelical church and lived through “Sadam Hussain is gonna start the end times!” In 1991…it hurts my soul that this crap is still going but I am happy to find someone else who knows about it and rightly laughs. Thank you.
The chaos was amazing and the muppet lipstick was lovely. You managed to brighten my day even though the subject matter was so bleak. Well done Emma 😊 You rule!
Thank you for the time you put into this! I’m a former Christian Republican who probably would have bought some of the stuff on that movie in the early 2000s. All I can do is laugh at the person I was and just hope more people open their eyes to how toxic this is. Again, THANK YOU!
So glad you made it out. The bulk of my family were baptist or pentecostal so it took me roughly 25 years to shake off enough of my fire-and-brimstone fear. Know where my mind was, if I hadn't ever started to follow my heart, there's a good chance I'd be decked out maga
As someone who grew up in this exact kind of family I'm so grateful for videos like this and creators like you for helping me get out of the weird (cult)mindset I was raised with.
I have a lot of Evangelical friends and family. Anecdotally, I have thought that there were correlations between Evangelical Christians and how they have been primed to follow authoritarian leaders to falling for fascist/strong man leaders like Trump. All of the other things like tribalism, bad media literacy and the mental gymnastics they have to do to ignore the obvious flaws in their chosen god King flows from that point. The history of prosperity gospel and how it was created to combat the rise of socialist preachers in the 20s and 30s also played a part in this whole thing. Basically, libertarian oligarchs co-opted religion and this is the logical consequence.
Not to discredit your experience, but as a foreigner, I can assure you that a lot of us are willing to forgive Trump a lot of his shortcomings for his one single advantage: he's NOT warmonger and afraid to be drawn in any war his inept diplomacy causes, and he seems even willing to withdraw troops from occupied or influenced states or even military bases that he deems not worthwhile.
@@JabelldiMarco You go ahead and do that. We'll be voting against Trump like any sane person should in 2024 because we'd rather not have christian fascism.
@JabelldiMarco yeah.. the guy threatened nuclear war on twitter, before ultimately becoming buddies with that particular dictator. His announcing the relocation of the US embassy to Jerusalem destabilized that region in a way nothing else has in decades, and brought it to the brink of war, and then had absolutely nothing to do with preventing it. His strike on the Iranian commander, which he didn’t even notify congress about, brought us closer to war with Iran than we’ve been in decades. Withdrawing from Afghanistan was one of his major campaign promises, and he flaked on it entirely. You are willing to forgive horrendous s**t, that he does not deserve, based on a delusion, based on something that is nothing more than pure chance. The guy has the grace of a drunken mastodon and the leadership skills of an animated but illiterate rock. I’m sorry, but if you think ‘not a warmonger’ is somehow redeeming, even if that were true and he wasn’t a bumbling buffoon who nearly brought us into conflict various times, for petty ridiculous reasons, it still wouldn’t even be a good start to redeeming him relative to the rest of his ghoulish qualities, to everything he is. A petty, selfish, vindictive, dishonorable, pathologically lying disgrace, who cares only about himself as he’s done his entire life, who never stops trying to divide to solidify his own support, who will just do damage out of spite when he doesn’t get what he wants, and who betrayed his oath to the constitution, democracy, the will of the people and anyone who’s ever served in any capacity to preserve the peaceful transfer of power, the instant his choice was between honoring any of those things and getting his way. Just, no..
@JabelldiMarco dude, he didn't start any 'wars' but he didn't get out of Afghanistan and in 4 years approved more drone strikes than Obama did in 8 years. So he's 'anti-war' the way he holds every other position, until it no longer serves Trump and then he'll swear he was NEVER anti-war.
@@JabelldiMarco You are lost and uninformed. 1. Trump withdrew from one of the only great things that Obama did which was the Iranian Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action which significantly cooled tensions in the region 2. Trump continued and accelerated drone strike program in other countries 3. Trump supported the war in Yemen to the point he actually vetoed Congress trying to stop our involvement 4. Trump withdrew from the nuclear treaty and bragged about ramping up nuclear production In fact, Trump accelerated every military operation America was currently involved To be fair, he talked about withdrawing from Afghanistan, and his generals made a plan to withdraw, but was too cowardly to act on those plans until after the election. There was no way to know if he would have actually gone through with those plans. Again, Trump is a coward and a liar.
You don't need to feel so bad Emma, as a Canadian whenever I watch American politics I to have that momentary panic over whether or not they are talking about the right party when they're saying vote blue and I immediately get the horror that the Tories in my Province have wreaked
But honestly, isn't red historically the color of socialism and communism? The red army was Russian, Bolshevists have been called red... Why would republicans call themselves red? Or... is it all one big conspiracy and do they secretly support the socialist-communist global government? O.o
And then there's ones that seem to be for it so they only have to lobby and bribe one bundle of representatives...can't win with the rich, eat them before they eat us?
I suppose there are actually reasonable arguments for one--it'd allow us to act as one species to address climate change etc. But it's difficult to see how it wouldn't become corrupt fast lol
Literally been wondering this my entire life. Like? We’re all the same, we’re all human, we’re one family. But the world is more connected than ever! And companies are running everything! Just like “globalism” started with sending the companies around the world to colonize and make profits for the monarchies.
Eye catching … “chaotic vibes” do seem assured. I subscribed too but I’m not sure I want to listen to such fast talking for more than five minutes. Baby-boomer Patience is nonexistent. At least she has decent accent. She says “cast” like “caust” … that’s cool. But her chaotic vibes could be fun for a while.
My religion class made us watch "Unplanned" one day after school. That movie fucked me up irreparably. I was encouraged to watch that specific scene and not look away despite how uncomfortable it made me. I was probably around 13 or 15 and I was the only female student in the class at the time. To find out later that the whole thing was fake through Emma makes me feel a lot better, even about my views on abortion versus the guilt the movie made me feel about them.

Thanks for this. As an American (cringe) I find all of this insanely funny so thanks for breaking this down as I would have never spent money to watch it.
There is almost no one that I know that would even watch that so-called documentary for free, let alone spend any money to watch it. It sounds like one of those examples to teach film students how not to produce a documentary.
To your question about Thatcher: there’s a segment of the American conservative movement that does indeed glorify Thatcher as “Reagan’s ally in the Cold War against those dastardly Commies!,” and also generally bears tacit approval for the way her austerity measures mirrored the simultaneous dismantling of the social safety net happening in the US at the time. It’s weird, but it’s not completely out of the box as far as the ideology goes.
I absolutely love the longer video format. Telltale Unfiltered and Gutsick Gibbon are two of my favorites because of their approach to information (telling everyone to check their sources and being up front when they don't know things) and their very often longer formats. Once I'm in a place where I can actually sponsor channels, yours and their will be the first ones I do!
This video showed up in my suggestions. Emma is very charming, articulate and entertaining. As an American, I cringe that so many of our poorest citizens fall victim to these evil preachers. They steal from the most vulnerable and almost all are Trump supporters.
The main concern I have about a World order, a single world government, is that it could be taken over by a group, such as the one that put out this “documentary”.
yes its capitalism, naturally results in a dictatorship of the rich. its insane how simple to realize this is, and yet.. americans are somehow even "simpler"
It's also about as ironic as can be that their desired outcome - Christians on heaven, others in hell and an eternal god lording over everything - is the ultimate in One World governments. 😄😂🤣
Emma, you've killed it with the dressing up - professional and beautiful ensemble. As always your intellect and the clear effort you put into researching and organizing your videos is truly impressive and makes a frustrating subject interesting to hear about. Thank you! I for one would 100% watch reviews of other films that you actually like, so consider this my vote in that direction. Not least because it would be fun to see you get to talk about something you enjoy, as opposed to things you borderline detest but feel are important (though I appreciate those too, I feel like you deserve the treat of making content about something pleasant!). Thank you again for all your efforts!
What!? No mentions of my dear old ancestors, them pesky....unruly, Vikings, Norse and we burned churches....I'm shocked, I'm, I'm, I'm....offended! Time to sharpen the pitchf....sorry, battle axes and swords, get them longships in the water! 😉😆😂
Wow! This has to be one of your very best videos. I do wonder how much of your commentary is from a brilliant script you wrote. If this is just you riffing, then I'm blown away.
To the best of my recollection from parental training the skeleton of the embryo is not yet fully calcified at 13 weeks so any complicated motions are out of the question.
"If I read a book that said 'Next part coming soon,' and then I had to wait at least 1,928 years, I'd be pretty pissed off." A Song of Ice and Fire, am I right?
"I got a message this morning saying I'm either incredibly stupid or a **** satanist, and I'm still living that high". 👏👏👏😂 We love you Emma! I've been having a crappy day but somehow your upbeat vibe and knowing you're toasting the distilled tears of your haters 🥂🍾 makes me feel better. I really appreciate you when having tough days like today.
Emma, great content from start to finish. On the nose with near all, which with a great long production is very impressive. Very much enjoyed AND made me think. Worth dressing up for. 9.5/10
I, as an American, am quite embarrassed indirectly by the global perception of the country I happened to be born into and am thereby associated with implicitly. That said, your delivery and style kept me laughing through all the cringe; so thanks for making it easier.
I'm in my mid 60s and remember hearing this tripe in church when I was a child. My dad told me he heard this tripe in church since he was a child, and my grandfather told my dad he had heard this tripe in church from the time he was a child (now nearly 100 years ago). I'm not sure why they kept believing it, but I no longer do. I am pretty sure (now) that the only time the world will "end" is for me, when I die.
The sad thing about this is that the ignorant folks who think this docu is fact, will never see Emmas wonderful autopsy of it. And if they saw it, they wouldn't see the irony, the sarcasm or the choice of words that describes the madness. Love you Emma. Keep up the good work! Never stop! And please do other movies too ❤
Thanks for wading through this drivel, and for a nuanced, well-researched take as always, Emma. Also, in addition to being incredibly intelligent and wickedly funny, you are painfully adorable, particularly when you're in full chaos vibes mode.

The religious right have subjected us to plenty of inane laws and constitutional violations. I'm an atheist and most of my family are still Christian and I fear the kind of idiocy they and their ilk might implement if we ever returned to a religious right in the ascendency. However, that possibility is comically far away.
The cringe makes it impossible for me to finish watching your tribalistic, dogmatic, essentially religious "takedown" of Trump's religious followers. Neo-Marxism and the globalist threat are so much more insidious, so much more destructive to Western Civilization, and yet your tribal, religious mind will not allow you to properly analyze and recognize that threat. Instead you mock (some genuinely idiotic) people who notice aspects of this threat and give it their own idiotic, religious interpretation. Again, these dingbat theists may be part of a political movement but their influence is not very concerning.
The great degradation we're experiencing across the West, from the Anglosphere to Germany to Italy to Norway to France et al (see the most recent mass uprising and violence in France) is the result of a de facto global oligarchy who are ascendent and at war with the white, Western world. (Also, Emma, the most alarming fact that is being suppressed is that of race. See 'A Troublesome Inheritance' by Nicholas Wade or 'Human Diversity' by Charles Murray. These mainly cover the issue from the perspective of the human genome but genetics simply confirm broad conclusions already known from twin studies, expat studies, IQ studies, socio-economic data, history, etc. Attempting to accommodate this one suppressed, forbidden truth will, in itself, dramatically change your worldview. But you don't have the stomach for that, you need your tribe. Your vanity needs a crowd to virtue-signal to.)
Your inability to criticize your own tribe and question your own dogmatic views on politics and economics is fascinating and ironic.
Would definitely watch you watch and react films you like. You are intelligent, funny and quite a handsome person, I have no doubt it would be delightful to watch you reacting to something you are actually wanting to watch HUGS

My father literally had to sit in a clinic and decide whether or not he'd go to the hospital when covid had him struggling to breathe. Ultimately he signed a paper refusing care because he knew we couldn't afford it. We live in a dystopia. He literally decided to risk death rather than put our family in debt. Luckily he turned out OK. But him explaining to me why he didn't go to the hospital broke my heart.

@@immortalsofar5314 Based on the way that whiteleftists hate their own skinkind and seem to want to perform a "reverse colonization" where before native americans had their land taken and their people and culture scattered and depopulated, Im not so sure the Ns were actually wrong. If the Native americans successfully fought off the whites as "foreign invaders' everyone on the whiteleft side would be praising their bravery for resisting the destruction of their culture and gene group as a people by "people of a a different ethnic group".
Whiteleftists if they were black would be called race traitors, no doubt. If they were In a black country and were fighting for white mass migration to enter, and saying "our peoples culture is the worst and we dont deserve to have land", I think that black person in that black country would probably disappear very quickly, and then whitelefts living in western countries would also condemn those "traitors".
Its an odd position for whiteleftists to hold, that ethnostatism would be right for nigerians and native americans who are losing their culture and being replaced by colonizing whites, but that when the reverse starts happening suddenly thats okay. The only conclusion I can draw from this is whitelefts are like the jewish people in WW2 who actually helped the nazis detain and boxcar their own people. Extreme self loathing. In fact, Attack on Titan did a mindfreak twist in the last season to show this very behavior, where "the good ones" who were working with the advanced civ govt A to kill their own people who were stuck in quasi-midieval technology on an island, were doing so because they wanted to prove their worth and thus show they were better human beings, despite the fact they all had to wear yellow sunburst armbands (imagery), and their ethnic people were otherwise corralled in fenced off sections of city.
History is full of such "ethnic traitors", aka, so called race traitors. Whitelefts are exactly this kind of person. IN fact, going back to Attack on Titan, there is one person in particular who is trying to exterminate his entire own ethnic group specifically BECAUSE of "the evils our ethnic group did in the past and society would be better off".
I can google "whiteness must end" and "white people must be stopped for the sake of the world" and I can google "whites must pay a 100% wealth tax" and "jews must pay waelth tax in germany" and I can see exactly where all this is going.
While the N words were wrong for how they went about it, they absolutely would not be wrong in a whiteleft worldview for wanting to maintain their ethnic group, IF a whiteleft person gave them the same charity as they give indian reservations. If we saw a sudden influx of white people into native american reservations, who then brought a criminal element to them which was burning their temples and religious pieces down, trying to subvert their culture from within, all the "good whites" would not matter. You'd call for expulsion of all of them because of the threat the minority of whites causing trouble poses. You know how I know this? The Haiti mass unliving and ethnic cleansing is defended by leftists because blacks were oppressed and ending every white person's life on the island was fine, regardless of whether or not the white person actually did anything wrong or harmed a black person with slavery. In other words, guilt is ethnically collective.
You can love the land you live in without loving the way inequality is lauded. The way being blinkered is something to be proud of and religion is used to excuse both of these things. Please add on any other complaints you have with your countries behaviour while still loving the land you live on.

No, Emma, you're not crazy. Most of us Americans hate our health care system too. However, because of a lack of education, a lot of middle- and lower-class people have been tricked into thinking that the government is gonna take their money to pay for universal healthcare. (I mean, it's probably not a stretch since we know they'd never tax the rich to pay for something like that.) So, they don't vote for people that try to improve the healthcare system because they already have so little money to live on. It really sucks, because there are people running (and people currently in Congress, like AOC) who would like to tax the rich to pay for these things, but because of lobbyists, they don't get very far.
I live in Hawai'i and i was always wondering why people on the continent complained about health care. I didn't realize when I was younger that health care depended on the state and we here have the closest to universal health care than any other state. Very few slip through the cracks here.
Don't forget about wait times. I had a coworker who didn't want universal healthcare because then we would have long wait times like Canada. That irony that she was complaining about losing healthcare if she quit when she needed medicine to live was lost on her
My fellow Americans have an infuriating habit of demanding that we spend ten dollars in the private sector to save two dollars in taxes (even when we get an inferior product in the process).
I even tried pointing out that if they took an extra 5% off your income you wouldn't even notice it unless you made over hundred thousand a year, my insurance costs about 300 a month and it is completely garbage I'm better off dying then ever going to a doctor but I keep in case I end up in the ER..... I would love to spend less money overall and insure everyone has access to healthcare then pay more and just cover my own needs
@@johngibson4874
The craziest thing is that the wait times in the US vs. other nations aren't all that large [excluding Canada because Canada is a massive outlier compared to any country in that statistic.] It should also be noted that the only data on this that exists for comparisons of the US to other countries comes from surveys. There is not a more definitive/authoritative source that include the US in their data... & those surveys are pretty much exclusively ones carried out by The Commonwealth Fund. As some examples [to try & save space they are listed from best to worst nation along with the specific percentages in parenthesis] :
A 2021 survey for older adults [65+]
Percentage of people who waited 6 or more days for an appointment when sick:
Germany (4%) | Netherlands (5%) | Switzerland (9%) | UK (14%) | New Zealand (15%) | Australia (17%) | Norway (20%) | France (21%) | US (22%) | Sweden (22%) | Canada (31%)
A 2021 general population survey
Percentage of people able to see a doctor or nurse on the same or next day the last time they needed medical care
Germany (75%) | Netherlands (66%) | Australia (65%) | France (53%) | Switzerland (53%) | UK (52%) | US (49%) | Norway (47%) | Canada (38%) | Sweden (33%)
A 2016 general population survey
Percentage of people able to see a doctor or nurse on the same or next day the last time they needed medical care
Netherlands (77%) | New Zealand (76%) | Australia (67%) | Switzerland (57%) | UK (57%) | France (56%) | Germany (53%) | US (51%) | Sweden (49%) | Canada (43%) | Norway (43%)
Percentage waiting 2 or more hours for care in emergency room
France (9%) | Germany (18%) | Netherlands (20%) | Australia (23%) | US (25%) | Sweden 26%) | New Zealand (30%) | UK (32%) | Norway (34%) | Sweden 39%) | Canada (50%)
A different 2016 general population survey
Percentage waiting more than 4 weeks for specialist appointment
US (25%) | Switzerland (26%) | Germany (27%) | Netherlands (29%) | UK (43%) | Sweden 45%)
Percentage waiting more than 4 months for elective surgery
Germany (0%) | Netherlands (4%) | US (4%) | Switzerland (7%) | Sweden (12%) | UK (12%)
However in that same survey the percentage who skipped care [seeing a doctor when sick, recommended treatment/test, and/or filling a prescription or skipping doses,]
Germany (7%) | UK (7%) | Netherlands (8%) | Sweden (8%) | Switzerland (22%) | US (33%)
That's not even to mention to fact that physicians in the US spend roughly 50% more time on administrative tasks due to the complexities & number of varied requirements of different sources of claims payments... or the 2 to 4 times as many full-time administrative staff members for these same & other reasons compared to other countries.
The average American household spends a larger percentage of their income on health insurance than every country pays in health taxes.
And we still have copays and deductibles to meet.
As an American and diehard Socialist, I agree with you - and just know that there is a large segment of Americans fighting against Capitalism, but since we have less money our voices really aren't heard. 😞
You know that socialism is just a less frightening term to communism? Which has failed miserably all the time every time, causing hundreds of millions of people to die and tenfold even more suffering, famine, death of freedoms. MSM does nothing but give voice to globalist lefties and soulless corporations.
A diehard socialist you say? I bet you'd be in middle of the left for us Europeans really.
L😅L,you're ignorant.
It does seem younger people are more open to such ideas since they’re reading about socialism and Communism instead of pro-capitalist propaganda saying that they deserve to be exploited.
I've identified as a communist for well over 4 years now. Have kept it a secret from society and now pleasantly surprised people are coming around to at least criticizing our capitalist system
Thanks for watching this for us, Emma. It never fails to astound me how many conservatives will fall for this drivel hook, line, and sinker while simultaneously decrying mainstream media for being biased and full of lies. The mental gymnastics involved are truly impressive.
I'm an American. I live in a country where people regularly die from preventable or easily treatable illness. An abscessed tooth is a life-threatening condition here. And what's weird, most people just accept this as just the way things are. People who have no health insurance, spend more than half their income on housing, and work three jobs just to pay their bills will argue with you that taxation is theft. We are indoctrinated from an early age that, "if you just work hard and stay out of trouble, you, too, can someday be rich!" That idiot promise has most people here defending the rich. There's also a weird tendency to venerate the uber-wealthy. What's troubling is that this attitude is rarely challenged, and there's small chance that it will ever fundamentally change. From where I sit, it's fed mostly by the unholy alliance between politicians, corporations, the media and evangelical Christian groups. Our nation is a billion-pound powder-keg sitting atop a volcano.
I couldn't have said it better myself. It basically goes back to Reaganomics and the vile hate spewed by talking heads like Rush Limbaugh. All they've done is decrease taxes on big business and wealthy individuals (mostly themselves and their donors), and brainwash people with hateful and fearful rhetoric, often through religion, so they blame each other instead of those who are blatantly responsible. You can see it plainly in the way their elected representatives vote, yet they are too deep in the cult of personality and their belief that the wealth will "trickle down" to reach for anything resembling rational thought. They'd much rather believe that trans minority illegals are somehow responsible for all of their woes, when the reality is that the only enemy is in the mirror. Unfortunately, as you insinuated, the media is as much to blame for it, as they're owned by the same rich people trying to dodge taxes and hoard as much wealth as possible. That, and hate sells better than positivity.
Love your videos. As a born and raised American who was raised in a fundamentalist American Christian household and was told by my parents W won back in 2000 because of a lot of the same reasons why these people say Trump won in 2016, I am constantly frustrated and ashamed of my country. I definitely do not believe it is or ever was the "greatest" country in the world (which honestly, what does that even mean?) and as a queer person who also studies history I am well aware this definitely has not been true for anyone but white Christian cis straight men. And cis straight men of the main religion and race of a country are always going to think their nonsense is awesome for some reason, I guess because they don't have to suffer nearly as much as everyone else does for their bs. I really wish I could leave the US for many reasons, especially because of the awful healthcare and how so many of my neighbors and politicians see me as lesser. It's quite upsetting to live here for many of us, and trust me, many Americans do not even like this country, and we definitely do not think it is the best in the world. Unfortunately for saying such things, conservative Americans call us evil and traitors and "socialists" (which I am a socialist, just not for any reason that most conservatives think because not a single one I've met actually understands the concept). And then they tell us to leave, which is ridiculous because trust me if I could afford to, I would. But also, isn't the point of a "free" country supposed to be that I can critique it? But as per usual, such types tend to think freedom of speech and religion only applies to them. It's a very sad situation over here, and I can say with full confidence, America has never been that great, and almost every problem we have is due to greed (mostly by the rich and not at all by those extremely few who qualify for the tiny bit of welfare the country gives out) and Christian fundamentalism and those who support them.

Oh my gods, Randall Terry. He’s not just anti-abortion, he’s THE anti-abortion guy. My parents used to take us to picket abortion clinics in the 80s with his org Operation Rescue. Holding up pics of dismembered fetuses, etc.
I remember at one they decided to actually block the clinic doors by sitting in front of them. The cops came and i was crying because i thought my parents were going to get arrested.
oh my gosh, that's wild. i'm glad you broke out of that mindset.
To clarify, the “they” who decided to block the doors were the Operation Rescue folks running the protest that day. My parents discussed it and decided not to leave the permitted-protest zone on the lawn & sidewalk, but i didn’t understand the legality of the different actions & thought all the adults were in equal trouble.

It’s so demoralizing thinking about health insurance almost every day here in the USA. I did go bankrupt once because of two major health problems in 3 years.

FYI, in the Bible, the eagle usually represents Rome (i.e. the Aquila) and the lion (aka Shir) represents Mesopotamia -- in particular, the Persian/Parthian empire. So, for example, when the Book of Daniel 7:4 talks about a lion that gets its eagle's wings torn off, it is probably a reference to the Roman-Seleucid war of 192 bce, in which the Seleucids, who are the lion (even though they were technically Greek, not Persian, but occupied the territory of the ancient Persian Empire) were defeated by the Romans, thus, metaphorically, bringing the lion back down to earth. Daniel is claiming to "predict" this event, even though the Book of Daniel was written after it.
People keep thinking Revelation is a prediction, but it's just a fanciful description of a past battle between powerful empires.
@@Volundur9567 Since there's no such thing as prophesy (because there's no such thing as God) anyone claiming to know the the future through revelation is a charlatan or deluded or both.

::eye twitch in painful upbringing:: thank you for these videos…I grew up in the evangelical church and lived through “Sadam Hussain is gonna start the end times!” In 1991…it hurts my soul that this crap is still going but I am happy to find someone else who knows about it and rightly laughs. Thank you.
The chaos was amazing and the muppet lipstick was lovely. You managed to brighten my day even though the subject matter was so bleak. Well done Emma 😊 You rule!
Thank you for the time you put into this! I’m a former Christian Republican who probably would have bought some of the stuff on that movie in the early 2000s. All I can do is laugh at the person I was and just hope more people open their eyes to how toxic this is. Again, THANK YOU!
So glad you made it out. The bulk of my family were baptist or pentecostal so it took me roughly 25 years to shake off enough of my fire-and-brimstone fear. Know where my mind was, if I hadn't ever started to follow my heart, there's a good chance I'd be decked out maga
I love that you know more about our constitution than most Americans. You’re so awesome!
As someone who grew up in this exact kind of family I'm so grateful for videos like this and creators like you for helping me get out of the weird (cult)mindset I was raised with.
I have a lot of Evangelical friends and family. Anecdotally, I have thought that there were correlations between Evangelical Christians and how they have been primed to follow authoritarian leaders to falling for fascist/strong man leaders like Trump. All of the other things like tribalism, bad media literacy and the mental gymnastics they have to do to ignore the obvious flaws in their chosen god King flows from that point.
The history of prosperity gospel and how it was created to combat the rise of socialist preachers in the 20s and 30s also played a part in this whole thing.
Basically, libertarian oligarchs co-opted religion and this is the logical consequence.
Not to discredit your experience, but as a foreigner, I can assure you that a lot of us are willing to forgive Trump a lot of his shortcomings for his one single advantage: he's NOT warmonger and afraid to be drawn in any war his inept diplomacy causes, and he seems even willing to withdraw troops from occupied or influenced states or even military bases that he deems not worthwhile.
@@JabelldiMarco You go ahead and do that. We'll be voting against Trump like any sane person should in 2024 because we'd rather not have christian fascism.
@JabelldiMarco yeah.. the guy threatened nuclear war on twitter, before ultimately becoming buddies with that particular dictator. His announcing the relocation of the US embassy to Jerusalem destabilized that region in a way nothing else has in decades, and brought it to the brink of war, and then had absolutely nothing to do with preventing it.
His strike on the Iranian commander, which he didn’t even notify congress about, brought us closer to war with Iran than we’ve been in decades. Withdrawing from Afghanistan was one of his major campaign promises, and he flaked on it entirely.
You are willing to forgive horrendous s**t, that he does not deserve, based on a delusion, based on something that is nothing more than pure chance. The guy has the grace of a drunken mastodon and the leadership skills of an animated but illiterate rock.
I’m sorry, but if you think ‘not a warmonger’ is somehow redeeming, even if that were true and he wasn’t a bumbling buffoon who nearly brought us into conflict various times, for petty ridiculous reasons, it still wouldn’t even be a good start to redeeming him relative to the rest of his ghoulish qualities, to everything he is. A petty, selfish, vindictive, dishonorable, pathologically lying disgrace, who cares only about himself as he’s done his entire life, who never stops trying to divide to solidify his own support, who will just do damage out of spite when he doesn’t get what he wants, and who betrayed his oath to the constitution, democracy, the will of the people and anyone who’s ever served in any capacity to preserve the peaceful transfer of power, the instant his choice was between honoring any of those things and getting his way. Just, no..
@JabelldiMarco dude, he didn't start any 'wars' but he didn't get out of Afghanistan and in 4 years approved more drone strikes than Obama did in 8 years. So he's 'anti-war' the way he holds every other position, until it no longer serves Trump and then he'll swear he was NEVER anti-war.
@@JabelldiMarco You are lost and uninformed.
1. Trump withdrew from one of the only great things that Obama did which was the Iranian Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action which significantly cooled tensions in the region
2. Trump continued and accelerated drone strike program in other countries
3. Trump supported the war in Yemen to the point he actually vetoed Congress trying to stop our involvement
4. Trump withdrew from the nuclear treaty and bragged about ramping up nuclear production
In fact, Trump accelerated every military operation America was currently involved
To be fair, he talked about withdrawing from Afghanistan, and his generals made a plan to withdraw, but was too cowardly to act on those plans until after the election. There was no way to know if he would have actually gone through with those plans. Again, Trump is a coward and a liar.
Emma, you are a ray of sunshine in my otherwise bland life. Please, NEVER change! ❤
Thank you, so much, for the red strings. You really went all out. Now I know I'm hearing something very very important.
You don't need to feel so bad Emma, as a Canadian whenever I watch American politics I to have that momentary panic over whether or not they are talking about the right party when they're saying vote blue and I immediately get the horror that the Tories in my Province have wreaked
But honestly, isn't red historically the color of socialism and communism? The red army was Russian, Bolshevists have been called red... Why would republicans call themselves red? Or... is it all one big conspiracy and do they secretly support the socialist-communist global government? O.o
I didn't really have an opinion before, but all these pathologically-rich people against a one-world government makes me think we should do it.
And then there's ones that seem to be for it so they only have to lobby and bribe one bundle of representatives...can't win with the rich, eat them before they eat us?
Dwayne you got a point lol
I suppose there are actually reasonable arguments for one--it'd allow us to act as one species to address climate change etc.
But it's difficult to see how it wouldn't become corrupt fast lol
Ooh, then maybe we can start the United Federation of Planets!
Literally been wondering this my entire life. Like? We’re all the same, we’re all human, we’re one family. But the world is more connected than ever! And companies are running everything! Just like “globalism” started with sending the companies around the world to colonize and make profits for the monarchies.
I’m one minute and a half into the documentary and I’m already subscribed. What a clever lady!
Brilliant and beautiful young lady.
Eye catching … “chaotic vibes” do seem assured. I subscribed too but I’m not sure I want to listen to such fast talking for more than five minutes. Baby-boomer Patience is nonexistent. At least she has decent accent. She says “cast” like “caust” … that’s cool. But her chaotic vibes could be fun for a while.
@@robkunkel8833 it’s like an English Rachel Maddow. 🤣🥰
My religion class made us watch "Unplanned" one day after school. That movie fucked me up irreparably. I was encouraged to watch that specific scene and not look away despite how uncomfortable it made me. I was probably around 13 or 15 and I was the only female student in the class at the time. To find out later that the whole thing was fake through Emma makes me feel a lot better, even about my views on abortion versus the guilt the movie made me feel about them.
Now imagine the impact of the material the left want to show and teach the young kids in schools today..
@RadarsRage what materials specifically are you talking about? Sources please
@@RadarsRagei know you're surprised you've found yourself away from your echo chamber (and perhaps found another), but around here, we actually TRY, please name some names
@@cthslaxI'm guessing materials that say slavery is wrong, or that the south was wrong to secede and to fight against the United States in order to protect ownership of people.
@@RadarsRage ???? that is incomprehensible! Are you OK? Would you like help?
Thanks for this. As an American (cringe) I find all of this insanely funny so thanks for breaking this down as I would have never spent money to watch it.
There is almost no one that I know that would even watch that so-called documentary for free, let alone spend any money to watch it. It sounds like one of those examples to teach film students how not to produce a documentary.
To your question about Thatcher: there’s a segment of the American conservative movement that does indeed glorify Thatcher as “Reagan’s ally in the Cold War against those dastardly Commies!,” and also generally bears tacit approval for the way her austerity measures mirrored the simultaneous dismantling of the social safety net happening in the US at the time. It’s weird, but it’s not completely out of the box as far as the ideology goes.
I absolutely love the longer video format. Telltale Unfiltered and Gutsick Gibbon are two of my favorites because of their approach to information (telling everyone to check their sources and being up front when they don't know things) and their very often longer formats. Once I'm in a place where I can actually sponsor channels, yours and their will be the first ones I do!
Thank you for taking one for the team.
I adore you, Emma. Your wicked wit, intelligence, and soft unique voice, you always get me thinking! Rock on Emma!
I laughed, I cried. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This video showed up in my suggestions. Emma is very charming, articulate and entertaining. As an American, I cringe that so many of our poorest citizens fall victim to these evil preachers. They steal from the most vulnerable and almost all are Trump supporters.
Of course they would support Trump, he does the same thing. The only difference is Trump replaces God with himself.
I'm Australian, but of British descent, so I had a sensible chuckle at the Rishi Sunak joke.
"who's Rishi Sunak?"
"wait, Boris isn't your PM anymore?"
it's so hard to keep track
We had a whole cabbage between those two
@@horizonstride8610 That cabbage was famous even in the States.
The main concern I have about a World order, a single world government, is that it could be taken over by a group, such as the one that put out this “documentary”.
yes its capitalism, naturally results in a dictatorship of the rich. its insane how simple to realize this is, and yet.. americans are somehow even "simpler"
It's also about as ironic as can be that their desired outcome - Christians on heaven, others in hell and an eternal god lording over everything - is the ultimate in One World governments. 😄😂🤣
Oops! Too late. :-/
Emma, you've killed it with the dressing up - professional and beautiful ensemble. As always your intellect and the clear effort you put into researching and organizing your videos is truly impressive and makes a frustrating subject interesting to hear about. Thank you!
I for one would 100% watch reviews of other films that you actually like, so consider this my vote in that direction. Not least because it would be fun to see you get to talk about something you enjoy, as opposed to things you borderline detest but feel are important (though I appreciate those too, I feel like you deserve the treat of making content about something pleasant!).
Thank you again for all your efforts!
After a few hours of ghosts etc., I needed a bit of sunshine....thank you very much Emma!
Now for the tea or coffee and some biscuits!
What!?
No mentions of my dear old ancestors, them pesky....unruly, Vikings, Norse and we burned churches....I'm shocked, I'm, I'm, I'm....offended!
Time to sharpen the pitchf....sorry, battle axes and swords, get them longships in the water! 😉😆😂
Wow! This has to be one of your very best videos. I do wonder how much of your commentary is from a brilliant script you wrote. If this is just you riffing, then I'm blown away.
To the best of my recollection from parental training the skeleton of the embryo is not yet fully calcified at 13 weeks so any complicated motions are out of the question.
"If I read a book that said 'Next part coming soon,' and then I had to wait at least 1,928 years, I'd be pretty pissed off."
A Song of Ice and Fire, am I right?
"I got a message this morning saying I'm either incredibly stupid or a **** satanist, and I'm still living that high". 👏👏👏😂 We love you Emma! I've been having a crappy day but somehow your upbeat vibe and knowing you're toasting the distilled tears of your haters 🥂🍾 makes me feel better. I really appreciate you when having tough days like today.
Witchcraft is more popular than Christianity. All culture is based on paganism and Satanism. Don’t believe me? Search witches.
Emma, great content from start to finish. On the nose with near all, which with a great long production is very impressive. Very much enjoyed AND made me think. Worth dressing up for. 9.5/10
I, as an American, am quite embarrassed indirectly by the global perception of the country I happened to be born into and am thereby associated with implicitly. That said, your delivery and style kept me laughing through all the cringe; so thanks for making it easier.
I'm in my mid 60s and remember hearing this tripe in church when I was a child. My dad told me he heard this tripe in church since he was a child, and my grandfather told my dad he had heard this tripe in church from the time he was a child (now nearly 100 years ago). I'm not sure why they kept believing it, but I no longer do. I am pretty sure (now) that the only time the world will "end" is for me, when I die.
You are killing it, Emma! I love this video.
Edit: "That means there's cake, nearby!" 😂
So ironic that these supposed “christian’s” are the first to fall head first into Fascism.
The sad thing about this is that the ignorant folks who think this docu is fact, will never see Emmas wonderful autopsy of it. And if they saw it, they wouldn't see the irony, the sarcasm or the choice of words that describes the madness.
Love you Emma. Keep up the good work! Never stop! And please do other movies too ❤
Completely entertained, educated & more informed.
🤜🏼🤛🏽
Appreciate you!
Holy smokes Emma! I am so excited to watch this video. This must have been so much effort.
Just stumbled across your channel and you're an absolute delight! Thank you!
I would 100% watch Emma movie recaps.
Must have taken you ages to make this. Was so well worth it!
Thanks for wading through this drivel, and for a nuanced, well-researched take as always, Emma. Also, in addition to being incredibly intelligent and wickedly funny, you are painfully adorable, particularly when you're in full chaos vibes mode.
23:25 “what did you do to get Richie Sunak”. I had a good chuckle at that from the Land Downunder” 😂
