Thank y'all for watching!!! Really loved breaking down my thoughts here. Lots more political and election and black history videos in the works... AND A BIG CHANNEL ANNOUNCEMENT IN OCTOBER! Also get a copy of my book WHEN THEY TELL YOU TO BE GOOD, if you haven't already ❤... bookshop.org/a/23229/9781953534422
Well, you know what they say, just roll over in dad. Don't do or say anything. Just accept it as long as it doesn't affect you and only affects marginalized people. Then it's a o k, it's the liberal way
Oh, wait, no. I'm marginalized. I guess I have to care Elise a little bit. But yeah, many you tubers. Could organize many youtubers could absolutely do something like I don't know. Organize develop an organization to actually put legislation and basically a cabinet and essentially like. A house, a senate and a presidential candidate together in basically every state and place. And if they organize like this, then yeah, next election we could basically take back everything but that would take sacrifice and risk and probably a loss of income, but it could be done, but the truth is. All this ever was was the money venture. It was a capitalistic endeavor and no one really ever cared about actually doing more than just the bare minimal of informing. And nobody else really possesses any power sway. I mean, we have now unlike any time before. Can look at many people and be like these people actually do have some sway. Some influence people do listen to them. And yet they will not pick up the mantle for civil rights like martin luther king did
Not shorty saying "she listens to people from all sides" When she literally attempted to silence protestors tamn bout some "Im speaking" and attempting to threaten them with trump. This is the same lady whoe said she supports itsnotreal right to defend itself. She didnt say she supports palestines right to defend itself though. She doesnt give the mic to pro palestine folks. She certainly didnt hear out the folks that have been protesting cop city. Also there is no "both sides"to listen to, either youre on the side of justice or youre not. full stop.
Then you'd be on her side not the rapist, voter frauding, corporate oligarch who's lined his pockets with money meant to serve the American people, you instead be on the correct side, Justice, the persecutor who is going to make him answer the way she has criminals who are actually as dangerous as he claims you are
I've been thinking a lot about this recently. Far too many people see the real threat from the right but act as though voting in a single election is going to prevent any of this. We've already seen their propensity to disregard the laws and willingness to target specific communities. People need to start taking this shit seriously and understand that politics are not some separate force from reality, it's a response to our reality. Everyone thinks someone else will save them and that they don't really need to put in the work. Whether you like it or not, these are the cards we've been dealt and you can either keep folding to power until the pot is gone, or you can actually stake something on the values you hold.
Okay so what do you propose, so many cry babies bitching about no one doing anything but none of you have a single thing to offer up for people TO do, come up with a solution or shut the fuck up and use your vote, it's morons like you who just decide the systems in place csnt yield anything without ever putting in the work your bitching about us not doing, grow the fuck up
The Title alone is chefs kiss. This is what ive been saying the whole time. so excited to watch and so glad creator like you is on here. I do community work here in NOLA but my goal is to a vocal as you are in a brave way. Thank you so much
I used to try to laugh as a coping mechanism, or as a way of gently trauma-introducing people to concepts like, well, genocide? It’s been boiling my brain on the daily, so it slips out of me sometimes in conversation. But geez the absurdism of the world we are living in has gotten to potty-humor levels of stupid. Which is usually just annoying, but in the context of our political reality is like…ascending into new levels of horror where your body and nervous system are torn asunder. You cannot use comedy as a coping mechanism or a method of making sense of things when it’s just…beyond anything but a stomach churning sense of dread and grief. Voting for the lesser of two evils…but there’s no greater evil than genocide…but we are discovering new pits of human hell.
Unfortunately for all of us who live in the United States I think some big crisis (nuclear war, etc) is going to have to happen for everyone to actually resist. The worst part of it all is that I think this moment will happen sooner rather than later.
You have to become like latin american country that was couped and subverted by the United States. People will tolerate the road to that just as we did amigo. We put up living with it until we decide to drop everything and join a migrant caravan to the US because we see greener grass. You would do us a favor in becoming just like another one of our countries so as to do away with a place for our young and talented to to run away to.
I always say the same thing. America has not experienced war or the severe poverty like the rest of the world and that's a huuuuge reason people are satisfied with the status quo.
@@bisiashley yup and it being such a young country is probably the reason why we haven’t had such a big moment. But I personally think it’s coming probably within the next few months or next few years. 2026 would make America 250.
@@MarcusDedeit's not because you're a young country, a lot of Latin American countries are even younger, The US independence predates Brazil for 46 years, Argentina by 40. I think there are many variables but age doesn't seem to be one.
Yeah it will happen when we have to go to civil war cause idiots like all of you are telling people to just "ignore 2025, it's just fear mongering and propaganda" and thanks to you so so many communities will be put through a genocide meanwhile you hypocrites are bitching that no one's on your side or helping you and your communities which is just a blatant absolute lie
Voting against project 2025 is so important!!! If the Department of Education is defunded and all education is privatized there cannot be greater resistance! Unfortunately a lot of social change and activism is reliant on the educated middle class that has access to institution, which is why I think it’s so important to vote against project 2025 and create more accessible education to help us tackle the multitude of American issues.
Okay thank you for saying that abt feeling emotional watching the Kamala/Oprah thing because sometimes I see some blue wave flavored nonsense online that features one or a few genuinely good sentiments and some little part of me feels elated for a split second before I come back to reality and realize who’s talking
I appreciate that. When I think of it through the lens as politics as emotional marketing, then I snap out of some of the intended manipulation but oprah telling me that things will be alright?!!!! 12 year old me would have loved it
I love this title & I’m glad there’s finally a video about this. I also wanted to add that the U.S. is buying weapons/tech. from Israel that were tested on Palestinians for the U.S.-Mexico border
gaza has always been the testing grounds for the domestic military tech being deployed not just at the border but also in major cities that have protest movements.
One of the most insidious elements of the fear mongering that I’ve seen is this belief that the only “realistic” strategy is to use incrementalism, ie; rely on the supposedly weaker adversary to eventually achieve change. This, in spite of the fact that the weaker adversary has shown at best, a passive callousness and at worst an aggressive disdain towards other human beings they have a responsibility to protect. It’s frustrating seeing people’s valid fears be weaponized constantly in service of maintaining the status quo that actively harms them. Resistance, as you rightfully point out, is key. It’s not enough to see overt fascism and say that that’s bad, and it’s definitely disappointing to see people pick polite fascism in the face of it. Mind you, material changes are what have to happen ASAP and the belief that incremental change is going to get us there is only going to allow more people to be harmed irreparably. We’re already seeing it with Khallifah Williams, we’re already seeing it with the Atlanta Conyers chemical explosion, and even with the recent hurricanes. Resistance is organization, is understanding that the government doesn’t give two fucks about us, is mutual aid and legitimate community building. It’s imperative that it happens now before we have no time.
Let me correct you on the Haitians migrants that went to Ohio. They weren't placed there, they moved there because there were jobs that were available. The companies couldn't find people to fill those positions; therefore, the only ones applying for those jobs were Haitians.
I thought there was a coordinated effort specifically to get Haitian immigrants to fill jobs in order to woo capitalist investment to the area, then they were abandoned by social services after the money came through.
I'm tired of the disregarding way that people use the genocide in Palestine being a deal breaker for some people towards whether or not they'd vote for the democrats this year being seen as just something to "respect" rather than actually analyze. Why do we have to vote for someone advocating for literal genocide and just "respect" others choices towards not doing so as if that's just their opinion on a film or TV show? We're literally between a rock and a hard place.
I’m more worried about animal slavery. We have hundreds of thousands of animal concentration camps across the country where they’re being tortured, raped and murdered on a mass scale. And you’re talking about this relatively small genocide of Palestine while in our backyard we have industrial death machine. By the way, Palestine & Israel both participate in animal slavery. They talk about genocide while taking part in it themselves.
@@georgethedutch"I'm worried more about animal slavery".....as we're talking of genocide is crazy. especially considering that Israel and the US has there hands in multiple genocides including black Americans and black folk in the diaspora. please get your white liberal shi outta here. talking bout some animal slavery gtfo
@@georgethedutch Why would you prioritize animals over human suffering? Obviously, we need to make the meat packing industry more humane, but it's ridiculous to prioritize that over human suffering.
Okay but can we also agree that it’s ridiculous and inhumane to pretend that laying people down on train tracks and insisting that voting on who gets run over determines the sovereignty of military colonies? It’s pretty friggin daft.
Dummy has a great video on how media literacy won't save us. They into details of the ecosystem of media and I believe he's on the right track on how to safeguard against misinformation. This isn't a one solution but many small things can work together to provide people with factual information. Also, we need more communal spaces irl. But again there's so much wrong in American society, idk where to begin. I love your content. I'm sharing it everywhere I can. Not many people listen to me but maybe one day...
We can all get our rights it never had to be either/or. I love my lgbtqia+ family but I will not “choose” you over our brothers and sisters in poverty, in pali, in Africa, in prisons, in the disabled community, or any of the other disadvantaged groups Harris ,will and currently is, attacking. If they’re willing to do it to them they will come for you the moment your back is turned. If people saw our current admins doings in list format they would have the same reaction they do to 2025. I’m so tired of “leftist” acting like they’re protecting a population by deviating from project 2025. Whilst more draconian the fact of the matter is that most of the points are only making already existing constraints tighter. And anything original has been a backbone of the rhetoric and policy written by the right.
Politicians are something we can't currently control, other than which one oppresses us Which can be enough to help a minimal amount, but NEVER enough It is, in fact, the MOST that this system, this state, THE state, can "help" the people that it claims to own
@@PrinceShakurUA-cam very true. Maybe what needs to be explained is how colonialism and imperialism is the cause what we've seen unfold the last year and beyond. Also, big fan bro keep it up 🙏🏼
Learning about Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil, the horrible way she endorsed JoãoTeixeira de Faria, known also as João de Deus/John Of God, and her predatory land purchases in places like Hawaii has turned Oprah into a full-on villain in my eyes---and opened my eyes to how rich and powerful she is!
Love your videos, you do such a good job explaining your ideas. Many thongs you say are things I have wanted to express and dots that seemed like they connected, but I was missing the historical context or a key perspective to express what I was seeing. Thank ypu for your awesome work!
Even my views lean conservative; I dislike how people only think there is one side or another. Not breaking down issues as a whole. I came to the conclusion that many want a savior to fix everything. Not realizing that we the people need to make the changes ourselves. We need to participate in our local governments then build them up to the federal level. Time will tell if people will actually get it. Loved the video and all the topics that are mentioned.
There's been moments when I honestly considered switching parties purely for the purpose of being on the inside and at least attempting to pull a long con of influence. Given how much I've posted online, though, that would require fabricating an entirely new identity for myself probably. And I don't know how to lie convincingly for long enough to get a leg up. (I've also privately thought of doing things for resistance that really can't be mentioned in public.)
@@MortMe0430 There's a book I think you would find interesting that goes over some similar ideas and attempts to address the contradictions in "left" politics It's called "The Chronic Crisis of American democracy: The Way Is Shut. By Benjamin Studebaker
Look at what happened to Move before the bombing. Move 9 that Mumia was covering when the city attacked the homestead and flooded them out. A police officer was shot by an officer and blamed them.
if we had a robust independent working class none of this would be happening. SO MUCH of this would not be put up with if people had somewhere to focus their resistance. but, also, status quo has captured major media as well.
what do you do if you’re isolated from any sort of in person physical community for whatever reason ( location, safety, disability, etc)? How do you help people besides the online then? :(
Congratulations! You are now the member and leader of [insert your favourite left wing party] [insert your location]. It's on you to find like-minded people and build that community. Best of luck!
Peertube + activitypub is honestly the only way. Popular channels (for hate + attack) will need support from more developer-centric organizations but tech people have been the only ones really doing anything. Namely attacking online infrastructure and logging actual crimes. The boycott, divest, sanctions group are just pulling from the same failed playbook and prolonging the struggle.
Your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I always learn something that changes and informs the way I think about the world :) Also I would really like to hear about you interrupting a Bill Clinton speech
Lol .thanks but idk Ohio is where I got radicalized! And at least with my experiences in Columbus over the years, there's radical folks to connect with
I hyped your USA is fascist video, it was fantastic. nobody that i know cared about it or even engaged with it except to browbeat over p2025 etc. i'm totally alone
Excellent video, great points and many need to hear this. I plan on getting your book too 📖 That being said, No sorry, if you are in a swing state you *do not get to vote third party* . I'm in PA, im queer, my cousin and neighbor are trans and for our sake you cannot so callously say to vote third party in a *presidential* election, grossly irresponsible. The gop needs to lose big, and in order to activate our comrades we need to see a collective action win, the Republicans losing so badly that they (and therefore far right movements worldwide) become more and more irrelevant. The usa is a massive force in the world, and as antifascists we need to stop fascism when and wherever we can as hard as we can, this means punching nazis in public, this means playing copyright music over their public broadcasts, bullying them, socially ostracizing people woth far roght views and yeah Voting for kamala is also antifascist action in a swing state.
this is why i involuntarily roll my eyes when book rec's are made that are about political theory and historical analysis, like, bro, who is this for? nobody is reading all that. maybe people who want to be in organizing leadership roles would benefit from robust analytical background, but not the vast majority of people.
Of course a man would think they are two sides of the same coin. My guy can’t even pronounce mifepristone 😭😭 like you said as well they want to take way your right to marriage. I understand some points you made in the video but to say they are the same? That’s wild. They are both upholding the same state but doing it in such drastic ways. This really frustrated me I’m sorry
You just went on a quick European tour where these countries committed devastating atrocities on top of especially in Africa. These countries were never truly independent because American and European still controlled the flows of currency through their banks. Since 2014 the slave auctions have been thriving on the shores of Libya. There have been three genocidal wars going on. American and European Plutarch and Oligarchs have purchased 35% of the land and water rights. This represents the majority of farm land. China has purchased 7% of the land. They bring their on workers to work in manufacturing plant. And they have been cutting trees from the African Rainforests. A lot of African countries have huge debt obligations. Now that I've caught you up on some current events, there has to be a decision. The Kamala Harris will be the lesser of two evils. And we don't know what kind of presidency she will have. But we do know that a Trump Presidency will usher the beginnings of White Christian Nationalist Theocracy.
For people outside of the US, it doesn't matter who wins because both parties are aligned on foreign policy, and internally Kamala winning is just going to postpone the Christian nationalism in 4 more years, like in 2020, they have been planning for this since the 70s, and the only things Democrats do is run against Republican success, they run saying they are going to be the less bad party while capitulating to republican messaging, so every election the public and the government is a little more right wing, you're gonna get there regardless if you just vote and do nothing else.
Oh my God stop saying vote third party. You don't understand this but one of these two has to go before. Third party is viable in 8 years maybe but right now that's just not happening. Especially not at this level. The Republican party has gone insane and is collapsing without Trump to run again with them. They are gone but the thing is you kind of have to beat him this last once.
@@PrinceShakurUA-cam okay in fairness in some smaller local elections may go independent but until Texas flips I don't see 3rd party winning nationally.
Okay, young person. So how? How do you propose to activate people's audibility for resistance? Because you're not laying out a pretty package over here. No one actually lays out a pretty picture when it comes to resistance. I do admire how you make is sound so simple. Just resist. I wish you good luck with that. I hope I'm alive long enough to see it happen.
you organize and commit your life to finding solutions that make sense for you and your community. revolution and change is contextual. you expect someone online to give you answers you havent searched for yourself?
@@PrinceShakurUA-camThanks for this response. People need to look to their communities and see the needs and the things that can be done. No one answer works for all issues and you have to do the internal work.
Probably...... bruh? You're diminishing her efforts to combat the unjust system with a program of Justice and you diminish that. How can she win?.... She's fighting both sides?
So you suggest violent resistance? Are you going to participate in it or you’re just a couch intellectual who’s going to sit at home expecting other people to do the dirty work?
I dont think its so much that people feel someone should have something to contribute as a migrant. Me personally, I support people being allowed to go over the imaginary lines self empowered men drew all over the world. However, Ive worked with many migrants who just come here for the summer, send all their earnings back tontheir home country and then leave year after year, all while refusing to learn english. I had a whole crew of them run me out of a really good job because they didnt want an american in their all immigrant workplace. Im currently trying to help my columbian spanish speaking co worker try to get her cat spayed because she cant call anywhere. Its the snub of knowing they dont give a shit about this country or being a part of it and they definitely dont care if their lack of english speaking skills makes it hard to work with them or even help them. So that makes people kinda bitter, even people like me who support immigration.
So bitterness should turn into personal xenophobia and institutional xenophobia? I think we need to have better hearts and understand the sociopolitical conditions that lead people to even come here for work
@PrinceShakurUA-cam Theres a very large difference in being a xenaphob and being fed up with people coming here and not even trying to integrate. My old foreman has been working here for 20 yrs, refuses to learn english, although he certainly knew enough words to s- harrass me. We almoat destroyed a freshly poured driveway because he acted like he understood me when he definitely did not. The H2B workers we have at my current job are on their 3rd year with this company, they know no english and it makes shit a total headache. A lot gets lost in translation, lots of things get missed or messed up. And I still support immigration, just want the people coming in to make an effort to not make shit more difficult than it has to be. I would never go somewhere else to live and work and expect everyone to work around my lack of effort. People that genuinely dont want migrants coming here at all are just misled and willfully ignorant and that wont change. Trump didnt cause people to become shitty, he gave the already shitty people a platform and the feeling that their asshole ideals were correct. Humans as a whole are mostly garbage, as we can see with the Gaza situation. I dont even hold out hope anymore, I just try to save dogs and not harm anyone.
@legittaco5899 Yes lets be pragmatic about being nice to those who are obviously arguing in bad faith, really a highly intelligent observation good sir.

@@georgethedutch Why would you prioritize animals over human suffering? Obviously, we need to make the meat packing industry more humane, but it's ridiculous to prioritize that over human suffering.
Okay but can we also agree that it’s ridiculous and inhumane to pretend that laying people down on train tracks and insisting that voting on who gets run over determines the sovereignty of military colonies? It’s pretty friggin daft.
@@georgethedutch people like you give vegans a bad rep
FINALLY SOMEBODY SAID IT
Dummy has a great video on how media literacy won't save us. They into details of the ecosystem of media and I believe he's on the right track on how to safeguard against misinformation. This isn't a one solution but many small things can work together to provide people with factual information. Also, we need more communal spaces irl. But again there's so much wrong in American society, idk where to begin. I love your content. I'm sharing it everywhere I can. Not many people listen to me but maybe one day...
We can all get our rights it never had to be either/or. I love my lgbtqia+ family but I will not “choose” you over our brothers and sisters in poverty, in pali, in Africa, in prisons, in the disabled community, or any of the other disadvantaged groups Harris ,will and currently is, attacking. If they’re willing to do it to them they will come for you the moment your back is turned.
If people saw our current admins doings in list format they would have the same reaction they do to 2025. I’m so tired of “leftist” acting like they’re protecting a population by deviating from project 2025. Whilst more draconian the fact of the matter is that most of the points are only making already existing constraints tighter. And anything original has been a backbone of the rhetoric and policy written by the right.
Your voice and production skill has matured so fast it’s scary. Good scary- keep up the great analysis!
Thank you so much
FOREAL. The problem is we arent out there stopping the system in its tracks.
Because were entertained.
This was a BAR from the title.
Politicians are something we can't currently control, other than which one oppresses us
Which can be enough to help a minimal amount, but NEVER enough
It is, in fact, the MOST that this system, this state, THE state, can "help" the people that it claims to own
Bang 🔥
The fart sound effect at the beginning of the video just rejuvenated my spirit and gave me the life i need to finish this shift, thank you
0:17 Articulating the specifics of imperialism and genocide is important to give context to these extreme and powerful terms.
What needs to be defined when we've seen both in various forms over the last year and beyond.
@@PrinceShakurUA-cam very true. Maybe what needs to be explained is how colonialism and imperialism is the cause what we've seen unfold the last year and beyond. Also, big fan bro keep it up 🙏🏼
Learning about Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil, the horrible way she endorsed JoãoTeixeira de Faria, known also as João de Deus/John Of God, and her predatory land purchases in places like Hawaii has turned Oprah into a full-on villain in my eyes---and opened my eyes to how rich and powerful she is!
Love your videos, you do such a good job explaining your ideas. Many thongs you say are things I have wanted to express and dots that seemed like they connected, but I was missing the historical context or a key perspective to express what I was seeing. Thank ypu for your awesome work!
Aw, I appreciate that so much. Thank you for watching!
Even my views lean conservative; I dislike how people only think there is one side or another. Not breaking down issues as a whole. I came to the conclusion that many want a savior to fix everything. Not realizing that we the people need to make the changes ourselves. We need to participate in our local governments then build them up to the federal level. Time will tell if people will actually get it. Loved the video and all the topics that are mentioned.
Too true. Geat take!
Hopefully more people wake up to the fact that a different result of this election wouldn't solve their problems...
Project 2025 is a continuation of Mandate for Leadership (1981), Contract with America (1994) and whatever else they named it in the 2000s.
There's been moments when I honestly considered switching parties purely for the purpose of being on the inside and at least attempting to pull a long con of influence. Given how much I've posted online, though, that would require fabricating an entirely new identity for myself probably. And I don't know how to lie convincingly for long enough to get a leg up. (I've also privately thought of doing things for resistance that really can't be mentioned in public.)
also, switch parties where? from fascist to fascist? ................
@@kylezo yes I *know*. I didn't know when I registered years ago.
@@MortMe0430 There's a book I think you would find interesting that goes over some similar ideas and attempts to address the contradictions in "left" politics
It's called "The Chronic Crisis of American democracy: The Way Is Shut. By Benjamin Studebaker
Hey don't hold me accountable...wait. Damn, you right
Liked before even watching, the title is a banger
Loved it!
Great talking points. I'll have to pick up that book.
Keep up the great work ♥
Thank you for wanting to read my book!
Thank you. So important.
Glad it was helpful!
you
put that so well no one can argue well no one sensible
Look at what happened to Move before the bombing. Move 9 that Mumia was covering when the city attacked the homestead and flooded them out. A police officer was shot by an officer and blamed them.
if we had a robust independent working class none of this would be happening. SO MUCH of this would not be put up with if people had somewhere to focus their resistance. but, also, status quo has captured major media as well.
what do you do if you’re isolated from any sort of in person physical community for whatever reason ( location, safety, disability, etc)? How do you help people besides the online then? :(
Congratulations! You are now the member and leader of [insert your favourite left wing party] [insert your location]. It's on you to find like-minded people and build that community. Best of luck!
The title, So Spot On!!!
Peertube + activitypub is honestly the only way. Popular channels (for hate + attack) will need support from more developer-centric organizations but tech people have been the only ones really doing anything. Namely attacking online infrastructure and logging actual crimes. The boycott, divest, sanctions group are just pulling from the same failed playbook and prolonging the struggle.
Your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I always learn something that changes and informs the way I think about the world :)
Also I would really like to hear about you interrupting a Bill Clinton speech
Oh thank you so much! Im planning a video on direct action and might talk about it there
preach!
PREACH
Coming from someone raised in Cincinnati, I feel like you're the most far left person from Ohio lmao. I don't know how you stand to still live there.
Lol .thanks but idk Ohio is where I got radicalized! And at least with my experiences in Columbus over the years, there's radical folks to connect with
Hey Prince, great video as always. What was the breakfast club interview you showed at 3:27?
It was Breakfast Club and Jill Stein and Butchware
They have officially lost me. I’m joining the quietly quitting crowd.
Great video great channel
Tell that truth!
I hyped your USA is fascist video, it was fantastic. nobody that i know cared about it or even engaged with it except to browbeat over p2025 etc. i'm totally alone
Excellent video, great points and many need to hear this. I plan on getting your book too 📖
That being said, No sorry, if you are in a swing state you *do not get to vote third party* .
I'm in PA, im queer, my cousin and neighbor are trans and for our sake you cannot so callously say to vote third party in a *presidential* election, grossly irresponsible. The gop needs to lose big, and in order to activate our comrades we need to see a collective action win, the Republicans losing so badly that they (and therefore far right movements worldwide) become more and more irrelevant. The usa is a massive force in the world, and as antifascists we need to stop fascism when and wherever we can as hard as we can, this means punching nazis in public, this means playing copyright music over their public broadcasts, bullying them, socially ostracizing people woth far roght views and yeah Voting for kamala is also antifascist action in a swing state.
More than half of American adults can’t read past 6th grade level
It's so f@cking depressing
this is why i involuntarily roll my eyes when book rec's are made that are about political theory and historical analysis, like, bro, who is this for? nobody is reading all that. maybe people who want to be in organizing leadership roles would benefit from robust analytical background, but not the vast majority of people.
I love you !!!!
Of course a man would think they are two sides of the same coin. My guy can’t even pronounce mifepristone 😭😭 like you said as well they want to take way your right to marriage. I understand some points you made in the video but to say they are the same? That’s wild. They are both upholding the same state but doing it in such drastic ways. This really frustrated me I’m sorry
Okay.
@@PrinceShakurUA-cam a man not caring about women’s issues. What a surprise.
Those people who make jokes on line about marginalzed and historically oppressed peoples are a big part of the problem!!
You just went on a quick European tour where these countries committed devastating atrocities on top of especially in Africa.
These countries were never truly independent because American and European still controlled the flows of currency through their banks.
Since 2014 the slave auctions have been thriving on the shores of Libya.
There have been three genocidal wars going on.
American and European Plutarch and Oligarchs have purchased 35% of the land and water rights. This represents the majority of farm land.
China has purchased 7% of the land. They bring their on workers to work in manufacturing plant. And they have been cutting trees from the African Rainforests. A lot of African countries have huge debt obligations.
Now that I've caught you up on some current events, there has to be a decision. The Kamala Harris will be the lesser of two evils. And we don't know what kind of presidency she will have.
But we do know that a Trump Presidency will usher the beginnings of White Christian Nationalist Theocracy.
For people outside of the US, it doesn't matter who wins because both parties are aligned on foreign policy, and internally Kamala winning is just going to postpone the Christian nationalism in 4 more years, like in 2020, they have been planning for this since the 70s, and the only things Democrats do is run against Republican success, they run saying they are going to be the less bad party while capitulating to republican messaging, so every election the public and the government is a little more right wing, you're gonna get there regardless if you just vote and do nothing else.

Oh my God stop saying vote third party. You don't understand this but one of these two has to go before. Third party is viable in 8 years maybe but right now that's just not happening. Especially not at this level. The Republican party has gone insane and is collapsing without Trump to run again with them. They are gone but the thing is you kind of have to beat him this last once.
Hm
@@PrinceShakurUA-cam okay in fairness in some smaller local elections may go independent but until Texas flips I don't see 3rd party winning nationally.
China: ha free international students
Leeja Miller is going to be mad at you 😁
Who?
@PrinceShakurUA-cam She's another political UA-camr that believes in the lesser evil argument.
On God
Watch Jerry, not Oprah!
its black hillary clinton
Okay, young person. So how? How do you propose to activate people's audibility for resistance? Because you're not laying out a pretty package over here. No one actually lays out a pretty picture when it comes to resistance. I do admire how you make is sound so simple. Just resist. I wish you good luck with that. I hope I'm alive long enough to see it happen.
you organize and commit your life to finding solutions that make sense for you and your community. revolution and change is contextual. you expect someone online to give you answers you havent searched for yourself?
@@PrinceShakurUA-camThanks for this response. People need to look to their communities and see the needs and the things that can be done. No one answer works for all issues and you have to do the internal work.
Listening to Kamala lie is painful.
Voting third party for president is a vote for trump.
by that logic, a vote for a third party is also a vote for harris. we did it, reddit. lmao touch grass
Vote Stein America! (Green Party)
Probably...... bruh? You're diminishing her efforts to combat the unjust system with a program of Justice and you diminish that. How can she win?.... She's fighting both sides?
So you suggest violent resistance? Are you going to participate in it or you’re just a couch intellectual who’s going to sit at home expecting other people to do the dirty work?
He have participated in several protests and got arrested several times while you sitting in your sofa. So shut the F up.......
Why would anyone admit to "violent resistance" to a rando online?
They started tracking us down so people in grassroots movement don’t post or talk about it online for safety
@@PrinceShakurUA-camhe's part of the blue Maga cult. They are going after anyone criticizing the democratic party

You're just wrong. Period.
I dont think its so much that people feel someone should have something to contribute as a migrant. Me personally, I support people being allowed to go over the imaginary lines self empowered men drew all over the world. However, Ive worked with many migrants who just come here for the summer, send all their earnings back tontheir home country and then leave year after year, all while refusing to learn english. I had a whole crew of them run me out of a really good job because they didnt want an american in their all immigrant workplace. Im currently trying to help my columbian spanish speaking co worker try to get her cat spayed because she cant call anywhere. Its the snub of knowing they dont give a shit about this country or being a part of it and they definitely dont care if their lack of english speaking skills makes it hard to work with them or even help them. So that makes people kinda bitter, even people like me who support immigration.
So bitterness should turn into personal xenophobia and institutional xenophobia? I think we need to have better hearts and understand the sociopolitical conditions that lead people to even come here for work
@PrinceShakurUA-cam Theres a very large difference in being a xenaphob and being fed up with people coming here and not even trying to integrate. My old foreman has been working here for 20 yrs, refuses to learn english, although he certainly knew enough words to s- harrass me. We almoat destroyed a freshly poured driveway because he acted like he understood me when he definitely did not. The H2B workers we have at my current job are on their 3rd year with this company, they know no english and it makes shit a total headache. A lot gets lost in translation, lots of things get missed or messed up. And I still support immigration, just want the people coming in to make an effort to not make shit more difficult than it has to be. I would never go somewhere else to live and work and expect everyone to work around my lack of effort. People that genuinely dont want migrants coming here at all are just misled and willfully ignorant and that wont change. Trump didnt cause people to become shitty, he gave the already shitty people a platform and the feeling that their asshole ideals were correct. Humans as a whole are mostly garbage, as we can see with the Gaza situation. I dont even hold out hope anymore, I just try to save dogs and not harm anyone.
Lol. Nice. It’s just a dumb democrat propaganda thing. Seemed obvious, but nope. We always have to entertain every dumb thing.
Okay?
Kamala is pronounced “comma-la.” You don’t have to like her to pronounce her name correctly.
So we respect war criminals that much? Hm, says a lot about you
more like KKKopmala
@legittaco5899 Yes lets be pragmatic about being nice to those who are obviously arguing in bad faith, really a highly intelligent observation good sir.
@@PrinceShakurUA-cam I don'teven like her and I may not vote for her, but that's childish. Don't take the same cheap shots that Republicans are engaging in. It discredits the rest of your (honestly very good) arguments.
