      MatPat is such a bourgeoisie sucker... I stopped watching the video exactly when he called “Radio Free Europe” a beacon of truth.
      This whole video is just CIA bullshit.
      TL:DR If we want to crush the oppressors, we have to educate the proletariat until the revolutionary spirit “clicks in” and people start disobeying the system to the point it collapses.
      MatPat doesn’t describe revolutionary tactics, he describes REACTIONARY tactics. Even if those are used for good, they are still not meant to do good.

    There's one piece you forget. The most important piece of them all.
    The soldiers. They and their officers choose to follow him. If he does not have their support, he has nothing.
    In my country, something like this is happening. Things are just turned 180 degrees.
    Here it is the villains who made the protest and are protected by the soldiers.
    Fun right?

    • @NoESanity
      @NoESanity 4 роки тому +25

      the thing is, that officers follow the same way citizens do. because even if you are a man in charge of a small army of 1,000 men, you are not going to stand up against the 30 other people who each have 1,000 of their own men that you think follow him. this is why dictators often have "turn in the rat rewards" because if one of those officers says the wrong thing around another officer or even one of his solders who really is loyal, his head will be on a pike. so the dictator stops speak through fear, and thus insures loyalty through fear.
      this is also why heros will often be killed, because if you give the people someone to rally behind, they can support the hero and see each other supporting the hero without directly saying they are against the leader until it's to late.

    It's kinda terrifying if you consider that in the Philippines, it all starts to connect once you look deeper. First, the show of violence from the War on Drugs we had but never even won, only families lost their loved ones. Second, the newly passed anti-terror bill that let's them detain a person from only mere suspicion and no repercussions if proven otherwise. Third, the shutdown of a major channel network that is very keen on questioning the president's action throughout his career, the network was investigated and was proven that they are legally "clean" but was still shut down because the majority of the hearing agrees with the president, or atleast they fear him.

      Yeah, I thought of the Philippines too while watching this video. On how the "innocent until proven guilty" isn't going to work anymore. And the President just straight on ignoring Article 3 or Human Rights just so he can do his campaign against drugs and not even doing anything to possibly stop the current pandemic from becoming worse but kept on pushing to have ABS-CBN end.
      He was pretty violent before even becoming a president, publicly shaming people who did crimes and such not caring about their rights as well. As if he was trying to show people that he has power.. huh.. that people shouldn't do any crimes or else they would be publicly shamed for the whole country to see.
      Then he still became president even doing that.. people believed he has power, and indeed he have.. but he's using it in an inhumane way. Not totally inhumane, just violating human rights. He definitely has an iron fist.

      @Pelco Cebu City the president has prioritized other issues like shutting down a media company, passing a law with vague and problematic descriptions, changing the name of an airport, and so much instead of actually solving the issue of the pandemic. Because of his incompetent, the Philippines had the longest lockdown in the world with barely an case going down, there are much more active cases and it just continues to rise, while our economy continues to fall.

      This option would also fit with the hidden theme that the Far Cry tends to make your victories in games costly. If you survive to the end of a far cry game, you're scarred for life and the game world you have been playing in is usually worse off then when it began. Even the secret endings usually involve selling out to the games enemies before the game even begins. In fact, based on the everything I know about the games, I would say that not only will you play as the son, there will probably be three endings. A secret one where you join your dad and bypass the game altogether, a "good" one where you overthrow your father and the rebels take control, but they will make everything worse, and a bad one where you take control of the country, betray the rebels, and keep the regime in charge.

      Yes! Specifically on this scenario even when protests get overwhelming and information is available if the subjugated population doesn't have access to the tools to overthrow a heavy-armed government, and their chance to have access to the wealth to even continue living is gatekept by their subjugators, it can get tricky, it doesn't matter if everybody knows, if the illusion is broken and everybody is willing to protest, if a dictator has complete control and monopoly on power and wealth of a nation, the likelihood of being overthrown is reduced dramatically.
      Not to mention that every movement needs leadership, most totalitarian governments of the modern age are smart enough to collude with prominent opposition leaders (or create the illusion if they still hold information power) to create the feeling of an empty opposition, with the intention to eventually tiring out the population into not even bothering to keep protesting because it doesn't lead anywhere.

    Great video but i have my criticisms:
    I)You forgot to mention that the main reason the Soviets fell wasn't necessarily because everyone just started to protest, but instead they only started protesting because of Gorbachev's Democratic
    reforms which allowed them to protest against the government, in 12:16 he is instead shown as a dictatorial figure which is more or less untrue.
    II) Just because a government is overthrown, doesn't mean that a shining democracy will emerge, the balance of power after a "populist" revolution is vacant and more often than not, a new sometimes worse dictator will assume power, to learn more about this i recommend you watch CGP Grey's video on the topic, "The Rules For Rulers".

    7:07 romanian here from what my father tells me he had a friend who was arrested and taken to a gulag for listening to this radio station, i myself can't atest as im only 19 and comunism has been overthrown here for 30 years but from what my parents and older friends tell me it seems that if you were cought listening you were sent to a political prison to be tortured or to a gulag and if the securisti found out (basically romanian gestapo) you would be tortured interogated and eventually killed

      If you're ever interested there is a number of good sources of information already out there. Books like the Gulag Archipelago and Behind the Iron Curtain as well as more modern podcasts like The Cold War: What We Saw are definitely worth the view.
