I was 17 when I learned everything about the John Birch Society because one of classmates was a member, as were her parents. Her mother, a doctor, came to the school to confront me about the arguments (factual) I used to debunk her daughter's insane beliefs. The mother began her diatribe against me with "We in the inner circle know..." I responded with "We in the outer circle know that you're nuts." That was in 1963 when Barry Goldwater was running for President after JFK was assassinated. Also a very bad time in America which got worse with the assassinations of MLK, RFK, Malcolm X, the destruction of the Black Panthers, and the murder of the Kent State students. The ONLY reason that Nixon resigned and that his AG and others went to jail, was that the Republican Party (though always loathsome in my eyes since the age of 13 in spite of my parents being members) at least respected the Constitution and the Rule of Law in the final analysis, as did Nixon. Nixon resigned because he knew the Republicans in Congress would convict him. None of that is presently extant in the United States at present. As horrible and frightening as those years were, where we are now is exponentially worse. Add the denial of climate change that's been going on since the 60's by Republicans in bed with fossil fuel and chemical companies, and it's not just the United States in trouble, The human race is sleep walking to extinction.
@@elenalatici9568 also not a coincidence that the people assassinated, the Kennedys, Martin Luther King, Malcom x, the Black Panthers were hated by the republican party. They (Republicans) have always been dangerous, callous and in service of corporations to the detriment of environment, education and humanity.
That is a funny coincidence Mauritius! I hadn't thought about that group for so long or ever I'm sure uttered the name "John Birch Society" until yesterday, and I hadn't heard the name itself since 1990. It came about when my daughter who is 30 (I'm 51) who is expected her first child told me her boyfriend and his family won't allow her to get vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 because they have been convinced by American television (yes, Faux News is even wrecking lives outside of the US) that it is dangerous for the baby. I won't usually involve myself in my daughter's life, but this was a great concern to me. We're Indigenous and sort of, well, she is in a precarious sort of place both metaphorically and physically where it is extra hard to stand up for herself against, and I mean this only as a descriptor, but a family of know-nothing rednecks in rural Alberta as a Lakota woman. I explained to her what I have read about expectant (or expecting? I have bad grammar, my apologies) mothers being considered highest risk group, with chances of miscarriage, still birth, or serious lifelong lung damage in newborns that would necessitate being on a ventilator and bed-ridden entire lives! But she is too scared to upset these overbearing people when it is her body, and her child more than her partner's at least until it comes out of her in my mind. I'm just sick about it, and she is a waitress at two different bars in Edmonton which is I believe right now the biggest per capita place for Delta variant Covid in all of the Western hemisphere and her profession is the most at-risk of all jobs, so just a perfect confluence of risk and danger. I am taking too long to close the circle here, my apologies. It's just that I told her, and she knew of course already but I refreshed her memory, that her great-uncle who was younger than me, born in 1973, my daughter's great-grandmother, he had to spend until he was 14 years old his life in an iron-lung, until 1987 (!) because he got polio long after no one should have been getting polio, because Great-grandma Bea was given a John Birch tract that stated that the polio vaccine was a Soviet plot to lower the collective IQs of the American people so they would be easy to conquer and then control in a planned invasion of North America. This always really puzzled me, why would these libertarian fear-mongered be against vaccines when not using them would only hurt the Americans they purported to love. Now I finally understand, eh? It is and always has been about using fear to control people. My late wife lived very traditional and was a Knowledge-Keeper, much more astute than me (I admit I have a thesaurus right beside me as I try to sound smarter than I am, ahhahaha). She pointed out a theory of hers that was hard to argue with as in our culture even things like romantic love are very much feelings plus choices together, with choice being just as critical a component of love as the feelings part. But with settler culture (no offense meant, that's just what we call it, matter-of-factly it is the culture of the settlers) it seems everything is feelings, feelings, feelings exclusive, all but divorced from choice. It's in your films, your music, your magazine, television, all your art, just pure feelings, pure id in Freudian terms. Kimimela's theory was that this was in no way an accident in European development, and as I've gotten older (and I hope a bit wiser, but not sure on that one, heh), that with political systems that are very highly centralized like European feudalism there is a real advantage in people being all id, all feelings, as highly emotional people are very much easier to control, and fear is one of the most powerful of emotions. So a Tucker Carlson is very much like a modern day General Edwin Walker with his irrationality by design. Only a Europe or a culture highly influenced by European colonialism could use emotion so effectively in the form of irrational patriotism to convince millions of men to go out and slaughter each other over nothing at all but money, as in the First World War. These ultra rich people like the Kochs, DeVoses, Duponts, the new money tech billionaires, they have no scruples, or any reluctance in using the most bizarre things to inflict their Chaos Capitalism on folks if that means getting the GOP to hold power and keep them from paying a fair amount of taxes like during the biggest and longest extended boom time in US history, from 1945 to 1975, which unsurprisingly (to me at least) is when labour participation and real wages tracked with productivity gains aka GDP growth and the wealthy had an extremely high top bracket marginal tax rate as they still should. Whenever I hear one of these libertarian types that dress up greed as a political philosophy start spout off Adam Smith I quickly bring up how in Wealth of Nations he argued that *only* the very wealthy pay taxes to fund universal health care and education (yes, the man who coined the invisible hand of the market was no free-marketeer when it came to taxation or to macroeconomic theory). I never get sick of the look on the faces of the little twerps fresh out of getting a B.Admin or B.Sci. in Economics when this dumb Indian that might have had to leave school to start working at 16 but knows the value of a library card present them with something from their very favourite book to quote but that none of them have ever actually gotten around to reading, heheh, ahhh. I shouldn't be mean. But, oh man, I wrote too much here, but when you mentioned John Birch that just gave me chills because of my wife's Uncle Kelly that died from complication of having polio in the mid-90s all from this pamphlet her Grandma Bea got from some White person who she made the mistake of trusting. History is repeating it feels like with my own daughter who has a B.Sci. herself and should know better but again White people ordering her around that think they know everything because they trust this clown from Faux News..the more things change...

This IS who we are. It would be one thing if we as a nation were running away from our troubled history as fast as our legs could move us. But we're not. The Confederates lost the Civil War and they're still flying their flags.
This is who they are; we are the eternal resistance. As societies evolve there has been this struggle. The Spiral Dynamics model examines the psychological development of humanity with clarity.
I agree. This is exactly who “We the People” are. I used to be on another side. From birth and my Christian indoctrination upbringing years till 2008 - 2016 as I slowly evolved to somewhere closer to the middle. But, as hard as it is, unless We admit it, We won’t change much. Good point Bear.
Because plenty of people do and the KKK has a lot of influence but it's minimal when it comes to the whole picture here, but if you're talking about white evangelicals and their toxic historical influence on the culture as a whole, that's probably more the area of a pshycologist or anthropologist than a historian's.
Aotearoa Whanau, I refer to and blame "evangelicals" a lot, but I assume that "white," the worst part, is a given. As a Bible Belter, I'm familiar with the breed.
Rev. William J. Barber of the Poor People's Campaign consistently mentions white evangelicals as one of the "evils" this country is facing under the auspicious of "Christian Nationalism". He's been interviewed a ton. The problem is that we Democrats, liberals, progressives, etc. tend not to be comfortable in directly facing issues of the spirit. We don't call evil, evil when we see it until it's already destroyed us. Charles Blow of the NYT published a piece back in late 2019 or early 2020 about Trump, his malevolence, and the corruption of his followers titled An Opera of Demons. I think he was on point.
I don't think we need a guide, I think it is quite apparent to be honest. It's sickening, and I live in a red state that embraces it fully. Since Trump they are more outspoken and open to letting their supremacy fly proud, it's disgusting!
I'm Irish. To be blunt....racism is as much a defining characteristic of America as any other. Obviously not all Americans, but internationally and in the modern era it is as emblematic of the USA overall as the Apollo program, etc. And as with all white supremacists, once you see and hear them, you realise the 'superior race' is in fact terrified, deeply ignorant and would not be able to endure the suffering they have dealt out to non-whites. Wretched people.
This white supremacy she says, is coming to the forefront, I respectfully say that it was there, it has always been a central part of American politics, except that now they are saying the quiet part outloud. Thanks Mehdi, love your show.
I'd say that it has been THE central issue of American politics, dating back to even before revolution. I have no idea how Americans are going to get rid of it, if after 250 years it's still the most important and dangerous issue.
Belew needs to get MUCH more coverage on the airwaves. I would LOVE to hear her in a deep dive 1-hour interview segment so she could flesh out details she discussed.

The judge on the Kyle Rittenhouse' case needs to be removed, investigated AND held accountable for anything discovered. And as a ½ White ½ Native American myself Tucker Carlson can take his own advice and go back where his colonizer ancestors are from.
Native Americans are really the only race i feel got the bum deal here every other one is doing better you can speak of slavery but white people where enslaved too at the time the civil war ended here there were still well over a million white slaves in the old Moorish kingdoms black people had slaves it was just a common practice if anything the west worked to make it illegal American history is something that everyone benefits from today even though that wasn't always the case except the native Americans
You are 1/2 white. Always remember that. Your Native side hates you for that; and you hate yourself which is where your racism comes from. Tell me: which side introduced "the wheel" to the other? (Hint: Not the Native Anericans). So, you should be thankful for your white ancestors who showed your Native American ancestors that Revolutionary concept they had since the 5th century BC
@@joejacko1587 I don't feel bad at all for the Native Anericans. They had many opportunities to attack and conquer the whites but chose to sell Manhattan island for string (oopppssss...). Plus, some of their cultures ripped out the hearts of their enemies, while the others scalped them. They put up a good fight and lost. Back on the day you became friends with the person you fought with.
We've always known that they were around. The only difference is they are more open to being mainstream as they believe they found a voice and an essential leader (a big one at that) in the previous occupant of the White House.

One unfortunate truth about this, though. Nixon didn't go to jail for what he did. If he'd fought the resignation, there's a good chance he might have, but he didn't. And therein is the problem.
Eddieisherenow, 40 of Nixon's men went to federal prisons, including his atty--for a burglary coverup. This former president will fill up federal and some state prisons.
That was back when Republicans were willing to hold president of their own party accountable. Nixon wasn't going to resign until group of Republicans, headed by uber-rt-winger Barry Goldwater told him he would be convicted in the Senate.
As a knee jerk reaction I agree with you but Legal Eagle on YT made a good point with that the trial was about determining if the shooting had been self-defence or not. Calling the people killed "victims" is technically determining the outcome in advance, since if the shooting was deemed to be self-defence they would not have been victims. So it is a bit of a technicality. A better way in that moment would have been to use their names which would have had the additional effect of humanising them in the eyes of the jury. 🤷♀️ The whole outcome of the trial was disappointing to the wide audience of thinking and empathetic people but seemed to be pretty much in line with Wisconsin law. Which probably means Wisconsin law has to be adressed and changed, because WTAF.
@@purplenights1 ... I'll have you know I am charter member of the esteemed law firm Dewey, Cheatum & Howe! Having said this, I believe Kyle should also be able to be described as a victim. Depending on perspective, they could all be viewed as "victims."
She was fantastic. In today’s world, it’s good to know the differences between “white-power, -nationalism, or -supremacy,” instead of using the terms interchangeably. …ohhh my gosh, how far has our country fallen that we need to understand the precise differences between these awful terms😣🤢
"Fallen" would imply that we were 'higher' than this to start with. For a nation built on slave labor on the lands of a genocidally exterminated people, I don't think that really fits.
White nationalism is victim first, supreme second, whereas white supremacy is supreme first, victim second. WNists, disagree with CRT, not because it is racist (which it is), but they disagree with the order of victim hierarchy in which it represents.
@@guesswhoscomingtoyoutube Because it is basically casting people into victim hierarchies and the total opposite of "judging people by the content of your character".

Yes. It makes one wonder why that is not happening. At this point, there is so much video evidence showing exactly who was at the Capitol, where they were and what they were doing. It should be fairly straightforward what the charges and sentences should be.

The " great replacement " was actually when European nations decided to send all of their misfits and religious malcontents too the newly discovered North America , the indigenous people were there well before we even discovered the Americas . We Brits are the most to blame ( although the french came a close second ) , and yet we repeated the same actions in Australia .
Massachusetts founded by religious dissidents, opposed to the established Anglican church. Rhode Island founded by dissidents from the Massachusetts (Pilgrim) church. Rhode Island first to separate church and state, having come to believe that the combination degraded both parties; 200 years before England made the separation. New York a commercial colony founded by the first modern corporation, the Dutch West India Company, in pursuit of the the fur trade. Delaware, founded by Sweden. Didn't last long. Maryland, English Catholics fleeing from religious harassment. Virginia "second sons" aristos, not in line to inherit the family estates in England. US population in 1776 : 2.5 million. Don't give yourselves so much credit.
Don't forget Hawaii, replacing the natives there, Tasmania completely erasing a entire people. South Africa replacing the natives there, Invading India, Leopold of the Belgium genocide of over a million in the Congo. Two world wars , 3 Christian Crusades against Muslims in their own land, Invasion of Canada and South America

Bingo. This entire trump nightmare has been an attempt to fulfill the prophecies from a work of fiction. As if blowing up the Murrah building in OKC didn't disprove their theory that America is a powder keg of intractable racial divisions waiting for that one spark to ignite a nuclear civil war.
I read this book twenty years ago, for the sake of being open-minded. I fell asleep. Boring and preachy. Basically a long, boring, predictable hate speech of the author's vision of the way America should be in "blah, blah, blah." One of the worst published writers of the 20th century.

No position should exist without an eclectic group of people able check their power. Judges by and large can be as bias as they want, and there is rarely anyone to put them in their place.
Judges are practicality governors at times. Their power and control is ultimately mind blowing. I never realized how powerful they really were until rather recently. I had always assumed a system of oversight, accountability, and checks and balances existed. I was delusional.
Every person trusted with an elected seat has the responsibility to leave their personal opinions and emotions at the door when it's decision making time. It's not rocket science understanding one's own constituency. In the context of law, they literally have a cheat sheet 99% of the time. The Justice System's reliance on precedence means the decisions have usually already been made. Here, I agree with the law to not allow the reference "victim". That's what this case is ultimately deciding, so you can't refer to them in a way that only the future can know. The problem is allowing defense to refer to the same as "rioters", "looters", etc.. The same applies, only here there is no person left to defend themselves against these allegations. They haven't been proven "rioters & looters", and can't be, because they're dead. If I prosecuted this case, I'd call them by their names. Every time. They're human people. Gone.

Thank you Kathleen Belew for helping to write this book and sounding the serious alarm of the dangers of white supremacy and the fight to maintain white power in American!!
you know racial supremacy doesn't spread by saying that your race is better then the others its endocrines a race saying that your the victim of this race like you are doing you're not fighting white supremacy youre just becoming a supremacist as you noted "White supremacy" so its not the problem of supremacy at all but rather when white people do better to you and that's why you are a supremacist your fight isn't for equity and its far from equality its ageist any white people in power and yes you can be a self hating white person
This whole "white supremacy" comes from some colonizers who were into slave trading. Before that, there was no "colors" from people. They wrote the book basically to say that if the Blacks were slaves, then they, the whites were superior. It was handed down from centuries and centuries. The lie about the whites becoming extinct is just that, a lie. There are 68% of Whites in the US, 12% of Blacks, and the rest are Hispanics, Asians and other groups.
I am so glad to hear what Kathleen Belew has to say. I'm a black woman, and it makes me angry when so many people say "this is not who we are" - it is exactly who we were and who we ARE. Also, the judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial is shameful for to not allowing the prosecuting attorneys refer to young men Rittenhouse shot and KILLED, as "victims." How is that even possible?? Finally, as far as the "great replacement" diatribe, Trump is a SECOND generation immigrant. His parents weren't born here. He's the offspring of immigrants. Trump is nowhere near a "legacy" American.

Why do think there is so much talk today about critical race theory? The Republican Party wants to eliminate any mention of the evils imposed on racial minorities by the United States government throughout its history. These laws are being passed in many of the “red” states along with voter suppression laws including the ability of the legislature in those states to overthrow the will of the majority of the veterans.

A fine nuanced discussion for those who want to feel better about it. 1. Privilege. Just plain and simple privilege. No black and white about it. Race is secondary. The backfilled justification for the privilege that already exists. To destract us from the fact that it's just plain privilege. 2. It's Fascism. The guest uses the idea of it making inroads. Because it's precept again is not primarily racist. That is a totem. It is fascism. The building blocks, ideologies, indoctrination, symbolism, tactics and strategies of Fascism. Fascism has to always have an other. A magical force. A spiritual war bigger then the criminality it inflicts on society. The justification for the fascists. This is fascism.

_In the 15th Century, when European settlers began to arrive in_ *North America,* _the continent was richly populated with_ *Native American communities.* *Great American Indian tribes such as the Navajo, Sioux, Cherokee, and Iroquois lived in America at the time the Pilgrims arrived. The Pilgrims settled in an area where a tribe called the Wampanoag lived.*
Correct. The native community at Plymouth was a city of 50,000+, but had been decimated by a common European disease introduced by English fishermen, that they had no immunity to, and those very few who had a genetic resistance abandoned it. Squanto, the native responsible for saving the pilgrims from starvation was one of those survivors. The pilgrims repaid his human compassion by capturing him and sending him to Europe as a slave. All part of the christian concept of devine "manifest destiny". Also, The Iroquois Articles of Confederation were used as the template for the U.S. Constitution, making it a uniquely American Document. It was fundamentalist christianity that was responsible for the genocide of Native Americans. White Europeans were just the ones who brought it to N. America, but the results would have been the same no matter what race had brought it with them. The bronze age goat herders who made up the abrahamic death cult mythology of the bible, created their god in their own image. That's why the only thing the abrahamic god loves more than land theft, pillage and s€x slavery, is genocide. It's just christianity's thang. And that's one reason among many, that the founding fathers, knowing tyranny was inherent to theocracy, authored our deliberately secular Constitution to establish the U.S. as a secular nation of humanist laws. The freedom of religion is entirety dependent on the freedom from religion. As are all freedoms.

Anyone that would think murder, theft and lying are ok, if it wasn't for some character from ancient Palestinian mythology must have a mental defect.

@@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648 No it won't. Neither does religion. "Moral imperatives" are naturally inherent to humans. Religion simply usurps human morality as a means of manipulating and fleecing it's followers, selling it back to them on a lifelong installment plan. And biblical morality are the morals of a psychopath, as demonstrated in deuteronomy31 and the whole of leviticus.

Some of the people working with trump before the sixth were trolling local dc news sites posting taunts about how they had the maps to the tunnels, how they had trailers full of rifles at hotels in virginia, and how they were going to go out the night before the rally to "go hunting in the streets around our hotel."

I am still finding it hard to see why the law makers in America can't totally hit with the severity required, the full letter of the law to those responsible. The entire world saw it.
After all my years trying to understand racism, even tracking through generational upbringing, I came to the conclusion that it came from one thing: rank stupidity. Maybe the long term solution would be an actual education system?
I don't even get it, they're acting like this was just a mistake, a blip as such. The history books will mark it as a significant point in whatever is coming. Trump being kicked out of the White House wasn't the end, it is part of the middle. The world is watching in shock and horror at every decision being made. The unrest in America is growing and I can honestly say I scared for the American people and sincerely pity the sane Americans. The lunatics are running the asylum!
The judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse case should recuse himself from that case. There is no way he can be trusted to give an impartial judgment in this case. He has already found Rittenhouse not guilty.
Many recent immigrants have expressed conservative opinions to me. One Filipina woman told me the US should reduce immigration. A dear friend of mine from Sri Lanka is a hard core Republican and told me (not sure if it was tongue cheek) that America needs a good dictator. If Republicans are afraid immigration will eventually add more liberal voters, I'm far from convinced. If they just want to limit non white immigration but don't want to say that, that I can understand. Also if the Republicans were serious about stopping illegal immigration they would jail employers who knowingly or should have known they hired people illegally. If people can't make money they won't come.
This is who some people are..I'm a 50 year old black man from the inner city a successful small business owner who have worked for white men, worked with white men and has white men working for me..I consider myself and independent of both political parties because I know there's racial agitators on both sides of the aisle..
@End Racists I would agree at this time in America the Republican party is the party of white supremacy with all these voter suppression bills trying to discourage black and brown people from voting because we tend to vote democratic...If the GOP had actually ideas and policies to put fourth then people of color and young people including whites and LGBT community would vote for Republicans..The GOP wants to have ultimate power and that's there problem..The days of the middle-aged white man running everything is over.. The USA will be majority black and brown in 30 years and the white man can't stand it..
I’m 71 and white. My mother warned me when I was 12 to be wary of the John Birch Society (Koch family). Her prescience to this day amazes me.
I was 17 when I learned everything about the John Birch Society because one of classmates was a member, as were her parents. Her mother, a doctor, came to the school to confront me about the arguments (factual) I used to debunk her daughter's insane beliefs. The mother began her diatribe against me with "We in the inner circle know..." I responded with "We in the outer circle know that you're nuts."
That was in 1963 when Barry Goldwater was running for President after JFK was assassinated. Also a very bad time in America which got worse with the assassinations of MLK, RFK, Malcolm X, the destruction of the Black Panthers, and the murder of the Kent State students. The ONLY reason that Nixon resigned and that his AG and others went to jail, was that the Republican Party (though always loathsome in my eyes since the age of 13 in spite of my parents being members) at least respected the Constitution and the Rule of Law in the final analysis, as did Nixon. Nixon resigned because he knew the Republicans in Congress would convict him. None of that is presently extant in the United States at present. As horrible and frightening as those years were, where we are now is exponentially worse. Add the denial of climate change that's been going on since the 60's by Republicans in bed with fossil fuel and chemical companies, and it's not just the United States in trouble, The human race is sleep walking to extinction.
@@elenalatici9568 also not a coincidence that the people assassinated, the Kennedys, Martin Luther King, Malcom x, the Black Panthers were hated by the republican party. They (Republicans) have always been dangerous, callous and in service of corporations to the detriment of environment, education and humanity.
That is a funny coincidence Mauritius! I hadn't thought about that group for so long or ever I'm sure uttered the name "John Birch Society" until yesterday, and I hadn't heard the name itself since 1990. It came about when my daughter who is 30 (I'm 51) who is expected her first child told me her boyfriend and his family won't allow her to get vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 because they have been convinced by American television (yes, Faux News is even wrecking lives outside of the US) that it is dangerous for the baby. I won't usually involve myself in my daughter's life, but this was a great concern to me. We're Indigenous and sort of, well, she is in a precarious sort of place both metaphorically and physically where it is extra hard to stand up for herself against, and I mean this only as a descriptor, but a family of know-nothing rednecks in rural Alberta as a Lakota woman.
I explained to her what I have read about expectant (or expecting? I have bad grammar, my apologies) mothers being considered highest risk group, with chances of miscarriage, still birth, or serious lifelong lung damage in newborns that would necessitate being on a ventilator and bed-ridden entire lives! But she is too scared to upset these overbearing people when it is her body, and her child more than her partner's at least until it comes out of her in my mind. I'm just sick about it, and she is a waitress at two different bars in Edmonton which is I believe right now the biggest per capita place for Delta variant Covid in all of the Western hemisphere and her profession is the most at-risk of all jobs, so just a perfect confluence of risk and danger.
I am taking too long to close the circle here, my apologies. It's just that I told her, and she knew of course already but I refreshed her memory, that her great-uncle who was younger than me, born in 1973, my daughter's great-grandmother, he had to spend until he was 14 years old his life in an iron-lung, until 1987 (!) because he got polio long after no one should have been getting polio, because Great-grandma Bea was given a John Birch tract that stated that the polio vaccine was a Soviet plot to lower the collective IQs of the American people so they would be easy to conquer and then control in a planned invasion of North America. This always really puzzled me, why would these libertarian fear-mongered be against vaccines when not using them would only hurt the Americans they purported to love.
Now I finally understand, eh? It is and always has been about using fear to control people. My late wife lived very traditional and was a Knowledge-Keeper, much more astute than me (I admit I have a thesaurus right beside me as I try to sound smarter than I am, ahhahaha). She pointed out a theory of hers that was hard to argue with as in our culture even things like romantic love are very much feelings plus choices together, with choice being just as critical a component of love as the feelings part. But with settler culture (no offense meant, that's just what we call it, matter-of-factly it is the culture of the settlers) it seems everything is feelings, feelings, feelings exclusive, all but divorced from choice. It's in your films, your music, your magazine, television, all your art, just pure feelings, pure id in Freudian terms.
Kimimela's theory was that this was in no way an accident in European development, and as I've gotten older (and I hope a bit wiser, but not sure on that one, heh), that with political systems that are very highly centralized like European feudalism there is a real advantage in people being all id, all feelings, as highly emotional people are very much easier to control, and fear is one of the most powerful of emotions. So a Tucker Carlson is very much like a modern day General Edwin Walker with his irrationality by design. Only a Europe or a culture highly influenced by European colonialism could use emotion so effectively in the form of irrational patriotism to convince millions of men to go out and slaughter each other over nothing at all but money, as in the First World War. These ultra rich people like the Kochs, DeVoses, Duponts, the new money tech billionaires, they have no scruples, or any reluctance in using the most bizarre things to inflict their Chaos Capitalism on folks if that means getting the GOP to hold power and keep them from paying a fair amount of taxes like during the biggest and longest extended boom time in US history, from 1945 to 1975, which unsurprisingly (to me at least) is when labour participation and real wages tracked with productivity gains aka GDP growth and the wealthy had an extremely high top bracket marginal tax rate as they still should.
Whenever I hear one of these libertarian types that dress up greed as a political philosophy start spout off Adam Smith I quickly bring up how in Wealth of Nations he argued that *only* the very wealthy pay taxes to fund universal health care and education (yes, the man who coined the invisible hand of the market was no free-marketeer when it came to taxation or to macroeconomic theory). I never get sick of the look on the faces of the little twerps fresh out of getting a B.Admin or B.Sci. in Economics when this dumb Indian that might have had to leave school to start working at 16 but knows the value of a library card present them with something from their very favourite book to quote but that none of them have ever actually gotten around to reading, heheh, ahhh. I shouldn't be mean. But, oh man, I wrote too much here, but when you mentioned John Birch that just gave me chills because of my wife's Uncle Kelly that died from complication of having polio in the mid-90s all from this pamphlet her Grandma Bea got from some White person who she made the mistake of trusting. History is repeating it feels like with my own daughter who has a B.Sci. herself and should know better but again White people ordering her around that think they know everything because they trust this clown from Faux News..the more things change...

Because plenty of people do and the KKK has a lot of influence but it's minimal when it comes to the whole picture here, but if you're talking about white evangelicals and their toxic historical influence on the culture as a whole, that's probably more the area of a pshycologist or anthropologist than a historian's.

*Any judge not allowing the use of the word "victim" referring to two men that were shot dead should be removed from the bench immediately.*
As a knee jerk reaction I agree with you but Legal Eagle on YT made a good point with that the trial was about determining if the shooting had been self-defence or not. Calling the people killed "victims" is technically determining the outcome in advance, since if the shooting was deemed to be self-defence they would not have been victims.

Rhode Island first to separate church and state, having come to believe that the combination degraded both parties; 200 years before England made the separation. New York a commercial colony founded by the first modern corporation, the Dutch West India Company, in pursuit of the the fur trade. Delaware, founded by Sweden. Didn't last long. Maryland, English Catholics fleeing from religious harassment. Virginia "second sons" aristos, not in line to inherit the family estates in England. US population in 1776 : 2.5 million.
Don't give yourselves so much credit.
Don't forget SPAIN
Don't forget Hawaii, replacing the natives there, Tasmania completely erasing a entire people. South Africa replacing the natives there, Invading India, Leopold of the Belgium genocide of over a million in the Congo. Two world wars , 3 Christian Crusades against Muslims in their own land, Invasion of Canada and South America
This woman is hitting on many amazing points. Well done.

No position should exist without an eclectic group of people able check their power. Judges by and large can be as bias as they want, and there is rarely anyone to put them in their place.
"Judicial immunity" sux doesn't it 🤔
Judges are practicality governors at times. Their power and control is ultimately mind blowing. I never realized how powerful they really were until rather recently. I had always assumed a system of oversight, accountability, and checks and balances existed. I was delusional.
Every person trusted with an elected seat has the responsibility to leave their personal opinions and emotions at the door when it's decision making time. It's not rocket science understanding one's own constituency.
In the context of law, they literally have a cheat sheet 99% of the time. The Justice System's reliance on precedence means the decisions have usually already been made.
Here, I agree with the law to not allow the reference "victim". That's what this case is ultimately deciding, so you can't refer to them in a way that only the future can know. The problem is allowing defense to refer to the same as "rioters", "looters", etc.. The same applies, only here there is no person left to defend themselves against these allegations. They haven't been proven "rioters & looters", and can't be, because they're dead. If I prosecuted this case, I'd call them by their names. Every time. They're human people. Gone.

This whole "white supremacy" comes from some colonizers who were into slave trading. Before that, there was no "colors" from people. They wrote the book basically to say that if the Blacks were slaves, then they, the whites were superior. It was handed down from centuries and centuries. The lie about the whites becoming extinct is just that, a lie. There are 68% of Whites in the US, 12% of Blacks, and the rest are Hispanics, Asians and other groups.

Also, the judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial is shameful for to not allowing the prosecuting attorneys refer to young men Rittenhouse shot and KILLED, as "victims." How is that even possible?? Finally, as far as the "great replacement" diatribe, Trump is a SECOND generation immigrant. His parents weren't born here. He's the offspring of immigrants.

You spelled KKKarlson wrong.
_In the 15th Century, when European settlers began to arrive in_ *North America,* _the continent was richly populated with_ *Native American communities.*
*Great American Indian tribes such as the Navajo, Sioux, Cherokee, and Iroquois lived in America at the time the Pilgrims arrived. The Pilgrims settled in an area where a tribe called the Wampanoag lived.*
Correct.
The native community at Plymouth was a city of 50,000+, but had been decimated by a common European disease introduced by English fishermen, that they had no immunity to, and those very few who had a genetic resistance abandoned it.
Squanto, the native responsible for saving the pilgrims from starvation was one of those survivors.
The pilgrims repaid his human compassion by capturing him and sending him to Europe as a slave.
All part of the christian concept of devine "manifest destiny".
Also, The Iroquois Articles of Confederation were used as the template for the U.S. Constitution, making it a uniquely American Document.
It was fundamentalist christianity that was responsible for the genocide of Native Americans.
White Europeans were just the ones who brought it to N. America, but the results would have been the same no matter what race had brought it with them.
The bronze age goat herders who made up the abrahamic death cult mythology of the bible, created their god in their own image.
That's why the only thing the abrahamic god loves more than land theft, pillage and s€x slavery, is genocide.
It's just christianity's thang.
And that's one reason among many, that the founding fathers, knowing tyranny was inherent to theocracy, authored our deliberately secular Constitution to establish the U.S. as a secular nation of humanist laws.

The judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse case should recuse himself from that case. There is no way he can be trusted to give an impartial judgment in this case. He has already found Rittenhouse not guilty.

Nixon must be turning in his grace. What Trump gets away with is insane
Many recent immigrants have expressed conservative opinions to me. One Filipina woman told me the US should reduce immigration. A dear friend of mine from Sri Lanka is a hard core Republican and told me (not sure if it was tongue cheek) that America needs a good dictator. If Republicans are afraid immigration will eventually add more liberal voters, I'm far from convinced. If they just want to limit non white immigration but don't want to say that, that I can understand. Also if the Republicans were serious about stopping illegal immigration they would jail employers who knowingly or should have known they hired people illegally. If people can't make money they won't come.
