@Preety_India Yeah, Fascism is pretty damn bad. But dozens of millions of dead people would strongly disagree with your assumption that communism is any better. Your demonization of fascism as the ultimate and unsurpassed evil which "the right" is going to create is both way to generalizing and ignorant.

It doesn't always work like that. Yes, although you can give a short answer to a deep question, in most cases this will be completely useless. If someone asks "what is existence" and I answer "unconditional love" - then what? It doesn't explain anything. Even if the question isn't quite as deep as this, a short and simple answer (which might even be true) won't be useful for understanding. Do you know what this whole "short-answer-to-complicated-question"-enterprise is called? Ideology and dogma.

Well, the pressure on freedom of speech increases everywhere since people have become so damn entitled to their opinions by creating their little internet bubble, but it's kinda funny that you mention it, since America really seems to have a problem with it; "Fake news", Section 230 under attack, Bill C-16 (ok that's Canada, but I'll just mix you two together), extreme political correctness (extreme compared to European political correctness) associated with victim culture, the news channels not being news anymore but mere mouthpieces for two political sides battling each other, etc,. Have you seen the movie "Joker"? It contains one of my favorite lines:

I disagree. Europe and especially countries like Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Swiss, Austria, the Scandinavian countries, etc. will transition way easier into stage green than the US simply because the opposition to green isn't as great as in the US. The US I think will stay longer in a mixture of Orange and Green with a good clump of blue slowing everything down. Furthermore, jealousy isn't exactly helpful to develop towards green and quite frankly - most Europeans are rather happy not to live in the US. European countries (and people) aren't so... braggy, glitzy and don't have this "best-of-all-worlds"-attitude. What makes you think that?

That's a very interesting idea! Funny how Russia and China are the traditional enemies (especially Russia), but maybe because they are too similar

I was neither saying that Zuckerberg is the sole cause of the harm done to society (like a gun might be, which was obviously just exaggeration) nor that he is to be blamed - I was simply pointing out that providing the means to what is creating a problem is part of the problem. There's a massive difference between fault and responsibility. Turning a blind eye to this is equally part of the problem.

What if the selling of those shirts is one of the main causes for radicalization and an increasing polarization of (parts of) societies all around the world? I see what your point is, it's not the salesman's fault, but by selling those shirts he definitely pours oil into this fire, don't you think that's kinda reprehensible? It might not be his fault but it has become his responsibility (at least to some extent). "Selling a gun to a hitman is the same as pulling the trigger." Quote from Rick and Morty

How probable is a civil war in the US? Or something like extremely violent riots? The George Floyd riots were pretty... intense already, to say the least, how much potential does this new situation hold? I mean, the country is deeply divided, many people won't accept their new president and Trump will pour a lot of oil into this fire. About 43% of all US citizens live in a gun household and many people already brace themselves for troublesome times ahead. What do you guys think?

A (short) video on how to properly conduct microdosing with psychedelics such as LSD or Psilocybin (and perhaps other substances) to boost performance and/or improve everyday life regarding the process of actualization. I know there's a video on "How to Use Psychedelics for Personal Development" already, but sadly it doesn't include a single word about microdosing. Microdosing has benefits which a macro dose experience cannot deliver (functioning in everyday life), so I think it's an important and useful topic.

You think it will be that bad? Do you think Biden can steer against Trumps polarizing politics and (at least to some degree) unite the American people?

Yesss!! I'm so happy although I don't even live in the US lol? What are your predictions as to how Trump is going to try to obstruct the rest of the process? What is he gonna do after Biden has been inaugurated?

Because?

True! But again, the point is to make sure that no one like Hitler raises to power in the first place. How do you think (almost) every war is justified, hm? Everybody thinks "THEY are the bad guys, WE, the GOOD GUYS must FIGHT THEM!" And that's just pure f*cking ignorance. "Fighting wars for peace" you see the irony? Nah don't worry about that, I was born in Sibiria, Russia in the 90s and my parents lived during bad, bad times under communism, too. They told me some scary stories about what they had to deal with during and after the collapse of the soviet union. That's why we left the country. You sound a lot like someone who listens to Jordan Peterson? Not that there's anything wrong with that, just be careful not to let him hypnotize you with his horror stories.

@The Don Dude, the world doesn't become a safe place by spending a shitload of money on weapons - it becomes a safer place by making sure that there won't be any reason to buy weapons in the first place.

Seems like Leo was right

Are there things Trump could go to prison for when Biden becomes president?

Question: why does the US still have such an undemocratic election system? The majority of voters could still lose, this is so ridiculous?

What stage do you think Vladimir Putin is at? Since there's so much to consider with him, I kinda have a hard time estimating his level of development... Your thoughts?

@lewis-j Nice. It comes out of the blue, no introduction, no lead up, no nothing, it just kicks in your front door and suddenly you're there, realizing that you were there all the time

Can somebody please explain to me how exactly Trump wanted to justify to stop the voting? "We don't want them to find any ballots at 4 am in the morning." What?!

This has gotta be some of the most undemocratic shit I've ever heard a western politician say...

Exactly.

@Leo Gura Why do you keep insulting people? Since I started checking out the forum and your new video a couple of minutes ago I read two new cases of you insulting people. 1. Somewhere in the comment section of your new video about science, 2. in the thread about the presidential debate you said you'd gladly pay a shit load of money to get rid of dumb people Not no mention the other times you call people dumb straight to their face (and even dumbest, like in the conspiracy video). This is not okay, at all. I politely ask you to stop doing this. You know how many good reasons everyone who backs this up has.

Mental health is a relative notion and adjusts/orients itself according to the psychological condition of the majority of the population. What happens, when we discover the relative nature of "healthy" vs "unhealthy"? How will this affect society? What happens when we find out that the "unreality" of the hallucinations of a person with a "schizophrenic disorder" is just as real as anything else? Will we still arbitrarily classify certain behaviors and perspectives as "mental disorders"? Who gets to decide? @Leo Gura Will you make a video on this issue? I think it's really important because it already peaks its head out here and there... The rest of this giant socio-psychological iceberg still lurks in the murky waters of our naive scientific, materialistic absolutism about reality, but it will flip, and I think it will happen more rapidly than we can handle.

Yes, uh.. Is Rudolph part of the Amanita muscaria shamanism? Did Santa drink Rudolph's pee to get high?
