Why did america fall so hard to corporatism and is just now beginning to blossom green seriously relative to other developed nations? Like what economic or social reasons specifically?

@Akemrelax lol, I think the video def applies on a broad scale to anyone who considers "big gubbermint" to be a problem... not just anarchists

ok, so why are there more fatherless households? you realize that during the civil rights era, the black marriage rate was comparable to the whites? **hint, systemic racism in the criminal justice system smh

@Epikur yeah, it would def make sense that our "world police" paradigm has contributed to inhibiting our development

honestly, I think anyone who says the 13/50 argument is really not ready to have serious discussions or get real solutions to the table. it seems like it is a way for blue/orange white people to justify their preconceived biases, alleviate themselves of guilt and social responsibility and frame things in a "pick yourself up by the bootstraps" manner.

@Hank Galaxy Brain Thanks for sharing, interesting take! It is still interesting though that it seems that the American constitution was more developed from an sd perspective than others and we have still been slow.

@Epikur America has been slow to grow out of stage orange and go into stage green. Our country literally doesn't even have universal healthcare and we are the richest country on earth. 3 people own more wealth than the bottom 50%.

@Leo Gura what do you feel led to America clinging on to christian fundamentalism longer than say denmark? also, ik that this is a very complex issue, but isn't fundamentalism a byproduct of stage blue consciousness? I don't think that it is just the other way around. Of course, religious ideologies add inertia to stage blue, but it seems at one point, other countries, like canada for example were about as religious as us. Why are we so slow to fully embrace secularism? It is also interesting that our constitution was a pretty orange document and more relatively developed than others relative to that time period. One would think that we would have advanced faster.

That is because the right wing ideology is not as developed as the left wing ideology. from a tier 2 perspective, this is clear as day. you don't understand how diverse marxism is and you don't understand how necessary aspects of marxism are for any modern society to function. 1. if your differing opinion is that black people are poor because they are lazy, but refuse to acknowledge systemic problems that lead to poverty in the black community, i hate to break it to ya, you are at least reinforcing racism. Of course stage green is going to be triggered by that. 2. who are the people that have an allergic reaction to people trying to decrease military funding, increase infrastructure, increase education spending, and increase taxes on the top .1% of income and labelling them as "Murderous marxists who want to turn america to Venezuela"? another strawman, 95% of progressives are not "anti white"... this is your own victim mindset ironically. it isn't a blind hatred of trump... it is more like a hatred for the status quo of corporatism and deception that he is a caricature of Ironically, you just created a boogieman earlier by labelling marxists as "murderous"... go watch fox news for 5 seconds and you will see how they demonize "the left" and try to manufacture a worldview where bernie sanders(and even joe biden at times lol) is Mao Zedong. lol, funny how right wingers didn't complain when education was defunded. funny how defunding education and healthcare and other social safety nets systemically reproduces poverty and by extension criminality. if we invested more money into infrastructure and education, we wouldn't need so much goddamn police spending. ... lol, I don't feel like this even needs to have anything said about it. 1. a majority of the republican party I would say does not have a favorable opinion towards lgbt community... Whether jenner supports them or "small gubbermint" or whatever is not is relevent. 2. whether trump is racist or not is irrelevent, his policies reinforce systems that reproduce poverty in black communities. 3. just because we are "one of the least racist countries" doesn't mean there aren't a shit ton of racism that needs to be addressed systemically.

Do you guys think that "journalists" like Tucker Carlson act and report in good faith? He always tries to frame things as "dem elites trying to screw the working class over", but apparently every time Trump passes legislation that transfers wealth to the top 1% like his tax cuts, he switches to covering transgender issues.

lol lol, no. American progressives are more about getting rid of money in politics, universal healthcare, making high quality education more accessible, getting out of wars, ending mass incarceration... the opposite of the current status quo that trump is propagating. that is why progressives are triggered by trump, republicans, and even establishment dems like biden and pelosi. it seems that you are isolating instances of stage green stupidity and strawmanning progressives as being limited to that stupidity. you are blinded from accepting the truth in the progressive movement.

@Husseinisdoingfine I think anyone who adheres to labels like "socialists" is ideological... that said, he has excellent stage green economic analysis imo.

This is 4chan tier shitposting

we need balance between science and spirituality/mysticism... sometimes, one is better at solving problems than another. sometimes, you need to use a combo of both. in any case, it is not wise to dogmatically marginalize either one.

@Serotoninluv lol, awesome example of red->blue

this is a good answer imo

all of those things have a healthy amount of red in them;)

@DrewNows

I am wondering if anyone can share examples of stage blue enlightened people. I can conceptually understand that it is possible and I have read up on it, but I think it would be useful to see like video footage or interviews with them.

Vaush seems pretty authentic to me.

@Serotoninluv good point. The externalities of his message and actions need to be accounted for regardless of his intentions.

I can see that, but you can't be saying dumb shit like "races are subspecies and whites are genetically superior" with that massive of a platform... you know how many 15 year old kids will see that and think "wow, this is objective proof that black people are dumber than whites"... That is how radicalization happens. the fact that he calls himself a philosopher/intellectual too.... yt made the right move imo. I don't feel that bad given the harm he was doing.

how bout you consider taking the perspective of a black person who is still living within the confines of systemic racism(a persistent shadow of slavery), struggling to get by, and you see a statue venerating someone whose primary accolade was to fight to preserve the enslavement of you ancestors(which you are still feeling the repercussions of)? youtube and reddit are private companies, they decide the rules of their sites. They decide the line. Nazis are free to make their own websites. Also, you can't eradicate hatred, but you can denormalize racist and homophobic world views for example by not allowing them to run unrestrictedly on your platform

@Akemrelax 10 seconds in and I can't watch this stupidity

@Bodigger If there is a statue of someone whose primary accomplishment was related to slavery or genocide, they should not be venerated. Stage green is having a field day with this and are taking it a bit far going after Jefferson, washington, etc, but confederate soldiers and columbus are actually a different story.
