Wait, did I double post this? Sorry if I did.

is this new or old?

It's from 2017, but still relevant, IMHO. But that's why I didn't post it in newsrooms: it's more documentary in feel.

Stossel tends to produce those kind of videos, which are spurned by current events, but take broader views, as opposed to reporting on a singular event, which is why I really like him.

lol, this sergeant is like "we're not the military and we don't think we're the military".
Right after talking like he's planning a black op raid on an enemy compound

i like stossel for the most part

He's pretty old guard.

He's a lot older than he looks.

Apparently, there are about 100 raids every day, for everything from pot possession.

Its sort of a self fulfilling prophecy.
If you have the gear and the people, you're gonna use them, and using them leads to more gear and people, and so on

If the bar is so low, you having a right to be secure in your home is pretty worthless. They come in, they shoot your dog, or even family members at times. It is kind of like free speech in Europe: You can have a right on paper, but if there are asterisks to the wazoo attached, it quickly means nothing anymore.

On paper, Europeans have free speech - or most do. In Germany, there is a constitutionally guaranteed right to free speech. You wouldn't think that if you didn't know about it, though, because there are so many exceptions that it means nothing.

If someone shot my dog it would be WW3

I would actually go so far and say that free speech is a requirement for a democracy:

If you cannot voice your dissent with a political party or a policy, you cannot effectively participate in the political process. Even if you have a vote, the side that controls what is politically correct has an inherent advantage in that it can disseminate its views, while their opposition cannot.

I will say it again: If you do not have free speech, you do not have a democracy. I will defend that view to my grave.

sweden is really good example of that.
sweden is so PC and fucked up...

The political process does not start and end at the ballot box and a right with flexible limitations quickly becomes no right at all. Through the same means, Americans are losing many of their rights. And it doesn't mean whether it is free speech or the right to be secure in your home - our rights are under systematic attack, and about half of the population is either in a stupor or actively participating in this, for the sake of "safety".

loool

This.

lol, tea leaves

also witcher will cast mostly black

there needs to be repurcussions for that shit

Growing up, I learned about WW2 a lot. I wondered, ever since I have been a child, what can make people do such heinous, stupid things.

It's very simple: Tell them what they are doing is good.

The casting for the Witcher netflix show is already out. Not hard to find images with all the cast

fun fact: both words xenophobia and racism was invented by jew.
*the more you know*

Thank you Jews. Those are useful terms.

I'll have to look more into the whole Jew thing, but what has kept me kind of away from it is similar to what has kept me away from the vaccine/autism thing:

Some claims are just so transparently stupid that I didn't want to waste time on it anymore.

^you gotta try though

otherwise you got people saying they got no time explaining why trump is a nazi...

It's in many ways a very tightknit group. That's going to lead to some nepotism whether intentional or not, but doesn't mean that that they're conspiring as a whole.

Well, I have been able to verify some claims that were interesting to me, but not that unexpected, such as there having been a lot of anti-German propaganda that turned out to be bogus, such as the lamp shades made of human skin (which later turned out to be goat or pig skin).

Also, the British weren't exactly lawful in their treatment of their POWs, either. There was a lot of fucked up stuff, on many sides, and we are too one sided in assigning blame.

just cause you're paranoid, doesn't mean that they aren't out to get you

But the constant yelling of "Jews! Jews did it!" isn't helping.

Also as a result of being such a tightknit group they've tended to self-segregate throughout history which has of course led to more discrimination against them, which gives them more fear of integrating with others, and it's something of a self-feeding cycle.

Yes, that might be one of the most sensible interpretations.

Not to say that the discrimination is justified, but it hasn't *just* come from nowhere

So, let's say that really was the case, which it might be. Then what should we do about it?

Let's stop all the talk and pass some laws against nepotism and cronyism in companies. You have to have some hiring process in publicly traded companies, for example, where you don't just hire your cousins all the time.

government should stay out of business as much as possible
