      Except it's just not true, and you're certainly not healthy if you feel that way, you're unhappy and bitter and ungrateful if you feel that way. Is America a sick society? Yea, in some ways, but it's also a better place to live than the majority of the world's countries. Don't let a spoilt celebrity talk you into cynicism.

    The Israeli soldier that killed my aunt Huda Hawarjeh in Aida Bethlehem smiled on camera and said he was purifying the land. This interview was reported by the CBC but also is uploaded to my channel here on youtube. I hope that people interested in this conflict can research the 30 years of British occupation where Palestinian libraries and farms were destroyed before the 1947-1949 destruction of over 530 Palestinian villages.

      I agree with that quote and I agree with Bey here. The thing is, nowadays, truth isn't as objective as it once was.
      The Internet has created a kind of stratification of common culture. If you're black and x you can join the club for black and x, black and y, etc etc. with the stratification of society into small bubbles we don't know how to communicate across bubbles leading to disenchantment of the system, which we all should have stake in fighting for and protecting. Idk the solution but I do know that this is a major problem leading to a growing culture of isolation and despair. Fight for your great grand kids. Fight for tomorrow always. Even if it means swallowing your pride. The meek shall inherit. Be not prideful

    "Due to demise... my heart is still alive. It looks awful outside... but it's still worth a try." This whole clip made my body shiver. He's right in every sense. If you feel pain in your heart, that means it's still working. That means you're still a properly functioning human being. Trust in what your heart is telling you about our environment. Nothing in the universe ever happens by accident. Things are the way they are because of a series of events and ideals that people once thought were necessary. Then we continued to come up with better ideals that were necessary. This is our process. The decisions we are currently making about the world we INTEND to live in are happening at such a rapid pace due to the necessity of change. INTENTION. Understand and hone in on your intention. Don't react... but respond. Reaction doesn't require you to think. Responding requires you to think first... then do. If there are things that you are unaware about... then do nothing until you are aware. Doing nothing IS a response. But also, intending to seek understanding is the first call to action. A lot of people tend to have their minds made up before they find complete understanding in what they are reacting to. DO NOT REACT...... RESPOND!

      @@montoya-400 oh… I know all about Jacque Fresco and the Venus Project my friend. I was put onto Zeitgeist at a fairly young age. Those were the documentaries that made me look deeper into our systems and the history of its functionality. Nothing in the entire universe happens by accident. We’re living through this Age of Enlightenment… and especially w/ the advancement of the internet, we are seeing how powerful connection and data/information really is. But it’s also up to us to really decide what we do with that. We can go through these mundane cycles and make a million assumptions about who runs the world and watch TikTok and Instagram videos all day without ever truly knowing what is real… or we can simply share the information as we know it but also remain open to understanding that we might also be wrong. History tells us a lot. But we have to be careful about what we intend to do with that information.

      Maybe this will happen but not in this world because it's run by devils. Now, in God's Kingdom on earth, people will be put in their rightful place, and there won't be any wars and slavers will become slaves themselves according to the Bible. It is so sad that people go to church but don't believe in the Bible, and the Bible clearly calls America Babylon The Great in Revelation 17:5, but chapter 18 describes the destruction of America and every prophecy in the Bible has come true so far and none will fail.

      @@tritownsound My point is her content is not worth $6 a month. Her output is very limited and this seems to be her first major interview. How many people are going to pay $6 a month for access to one podcast, that too a podcast that is just starting out?
      I cancelled my Prime membership because introducing advertisements and asking customers to pay extra to remove them defeats the purpose of a streaming platform and is no longer value for money.
      I don't care if you're a large corporation or an independent content creator, if the content being provided is not worth the asking price I am not going to give you my hard earned money.
      As for why should creators have to turn to corporate advertising for revenue. They don't have to do anything. However the reason they are creating paywalled content is to make money, and from a business perspective they will make more money if the content is freely available to the audience, and revenue comes from advertising/sponsorships. Then once you are established and have a solid audience you can start looking into expanding with paywalled content.

    It's so humbling to hear you express your thoughts and I can feel you, but it's the indifference of many "leaders" that enjoy any distraction like your sympathetic input in a discourse that will keep people busy looking elsewhere while they keep plundering public and private funds. There was a glimpse of hope to end colonialism but we're back to business as usual with leisure and entertainment. Keep in mind that the intellectual tour de force at the time of independence didn't take place to rewrite everything, we just carried on the structures already in place to collect fiscal resources, bureaucratic and administrative fees to pay for those yachts, jets, villas and supercars. In regards to Palestine,
    all of the protests take place where freedom of expression is heavily guarded, anywhere else is a risk or timid.

    Humanity is the creator of it's own misery and demise. History is meant to be studied, not to repeat it but to consciously prevent it from recurring. If there is a cosmic test, wouldn’t it be to evolve. To not only understand our interconnectedness but to embody the compassion and righteousness for one another.

    You should've learned from shannon sharpe. Post the full thing an make the clips after the full one is out. You'd got more traction so people have issue stealing the clips out of 2hrs. Then make the clips yourself after.
    Most won't look beyond the drake thing because the interview is on patreon.

And we need more men and women like this to be praised rather than say but hitler loving rapper who don't even care about his people anymore but rather his image or at least when he's on his meds that's if he is on meds
