I agree. The two party system only works for one party. I think it's high time the left shall give their side up gently and understand that when we call ourselves. Republican it's only a name and labels are deceiving my friends.

Hopefully, you don't sit this one out because if Trump wins this time? Our democracy is over.

thank goodness for this fella

it's really a breath of fresh air to listen to a voice of reason.

Mainly because he does not sound American in nature, and it may be a lesson to all of us worldwide. When it sounds American in nature should we avoid it? What is most worrisome for our contemporary civilisation, is that many new fresh figures in politics worldwide are mimicking Donald Trump in their strategy. Brings about the question is Donald Trump a by product of the Russian political agenda, or is Vladimir Putin a by product of the America culture? The Americans did set a significant precedent worldwide in threatening the world with the famous words decried in 2001, "You are either with us or against us". No one in the world dared question the intelligence reports presented to launch a war in Iraq. The Usa had a voice of reason just prior to Donald Trump in the White House, so why should we expect that Donald Trump is just a freak accident of nature, or the by product of the Russian government? Who is influencing who? We take so many things for granted, without questioning the order or nature of things. It is tragic and yet where is the sense of urgency worldwide?

Very true. We all remember those infamous words, no doubt. The most worrying thing in my global region ( the Pacific, Austral Asia) is the relationship between the U.S and China. We need China as a trading partner and we also need the U.S as a military partner. The Papua New Guinea and all of the south Pacific is basically Australia, militarily speaking.

We are diametrically opposed geographically speaking, and personally I may be too close to the american border to feel secure culturally speaking. I find that the Usa is more of a direct threat to its immediate neighbours than it is to the distant ones. I find no comfort in the said military protection provided by the Usa, as obviously it may go in the opposite direction. The military force of the Usa may just become a threat to the world as it may fall in the wrong hands, and what was once deemed a blessing may just become a curse to the world. This is why the lessons provided by this speaker are so important, as we cannot take anything for granted based solely on blind faith. Do not obey in advance is key here. It seems quite obvious that technology is killing the people's ability prospects to earn a decent living. Robots are not just replacing manual tasks or a threat to the so-called blue collar workers, but it is about to play a hey role in replacing many liberal professions, or so-called white collar jobs. Yet, some despots are blaming free trade worldwide when in fact technology is a great threat to the loss of livelihood worldwide. Wealth concentration is hence fostered via patent tights, royalty payments, licensing fees, and etc. which is reminiscent of rent paid to important land owners in our distant historical past. History repeats itself in a different context, making comparaisons difficult as it is said different though in essence it is so similar. I will not rely on past beliefs on values to feel at ease and to accept the argument that the Usa military force is a blessing to the world and will never turn into a curse. I felt differently though not at ease when president Barak Obama was in charge, and this mostly because the president is so powerless given the political gridlock in the Usa, however this may not hold true under a ill-intent leadership that knows no boundaries and willing to cross the line into unchartered territories. As, the speaker pointed out insecurity at large and increased fears may be the tipping point for the world's population. We may be very close to it, and yet we continue to behave as if there is no end to it and as if infinity is the new normal.

Hello from 2020. Wait until you see 2021.

LJCyrus1, me too, but now we know, and although as of this writing, Trump is out for the next four (I am holding my breath until Jan. 21, 2021), there are obvious dangers that align with Mr. Snyder’s ‘predictions’ that still exist and will continue. We-you and me and others similar thinkers- will have to be very watchful and not let our guard down, nor let others get too cozy. Trump is already saying he will run in 2024, and if not, his kids. Daughter-in-law Lara wants to run for Senate for N.C. I wonder if she has ever been there. And even if they are all locked up, there are still his ‘cronies’ and more that have the ‘plan’. So stay vigilant, as will I.

@@taliasya2273 The next Trump could be smarter and more charismatic. That is a real danger, but at least we know now that a certain percentage of our population has fascist tendencies. Stay alert and learn ways of changing peoples minds.

Watching in 2021 after the storming of the capitol! 😬

@@ambulocetusnatans & 2022, and 2023, and 2024... the tyranny only ends when the people take matters into their OWN hands and stop trusting the 100% un-trust-worthy politicians and "leaders".

No, America is not listening. They removed civics from our classrooms decades ago. The average person under 35 thinks that they live in an economic theory and have no idea that governments matter. You should stop hoping that America will wake up. It's too late for America to be saved. People around the world need to think about what it means that America is turning to fascism.

And it is really at a tipping point. The doctor who committed suicide and the works lives at risk in the meatpacking industry.

If you need more than Trump ordering a US diplomat to be taken out, you have chosen your side already.

Terrifying. I am wondering where Trump's Reichstag fire is going to be.

There already was Reichstag fire in many streets of USA , made by same left wing fanatics as Synder , the diffrence is they were stupid while he is educated ...

Well Said!

A glacier moves slowly it seems, right? Takes hundreds of years? No, it’s relative to how hard and how long it snows. I live in a valley with glaciers above us. If it started snowing and didn’t stop we would be shoved aside in a matter of a few short years and maybe just months.

Every second that passes the harder harder it gets.

@daniel sebold He's using solid and familiar research examples still applicable. Sorry you don't see his contribution. And millions of people can be wrong.

It may be coming fast, but the ground work was laid down a long time ago. It started with Reagan. I saw it coming back then, and everybody called me an alarmist, and yet here we are.

Good luck. At least you are aware you are being oppressed. Americans don't even know when they are.

Ps. I posted this video on fb.

What 20 lessons?

@Lucy Ke On one hand, I applaud the individuality of not following orders. On the other hand, you're right: They look like individual imbeciles.

I don't know about this video. I've just started watching it, but in a video on a new book of his, I appreciated him allowing the people to talk. I heard a woman originally from Poland voice her fears about what's happening in America. Another woman spoke about the role sexism played in the last election and whether he wrote about that. Someone else pointed out a free press is insufficient in uncovering and presenting the truth with all the damage the internet does in spreading lies. In the other video, although they spoke at length, their comments elicited interesting comments in return from him. People need a chance to talk about and process what is happening. His talks are especially cathartic after listing to all the lies on the news that black is white and nothing Trump does rises to impeachment level and after the disappointing way the Mueller findings were handled. We are not fools. We know what is happening and we are frightened.

Americans are a deeply troubled people. They've been told they're the greatest and richest people on earth but they know that isn't true. They need psychological help but can't afford it. So they share their angst at these sorts of things. I usually just skip the questions.

But he is not and look at his audience: small and mostly old.

Yes done it but most Americans tour Europe in a very superficial way ,just the main tourist attractions and a shopping trip not all people but most

And the days where people could leave the house without worrying about having a mask and when there weren't riots/riot police in multiple cities for the past 120+ days. 2020 is a garbage year, but I have a feeling the 2020's are going to be an even worse decade.

D Scully -- Indeed. I, too, fear for the possibility of recuperating our republic at this point. I, too, think our current dangerous state far predates Trump. In fact, the open breakthrough of the seeds of tyranny along these lines was evident from the very beginning of the Obama dominance (or the "joy of Obama," as it were) -- the careening of the bumper cars of tyranny has, indeed, "thrived on complacency" for a long time, now. Sadly, we also careen in one or the other direction according to our desperate defense of our emotional and cognitive territory. The angst is appropriate; its myopia is absurd.

It is NEVER too late. That type of thinking is complacency at its worse. It is our job as individuals to see things through and to educate others. Now that Trump is under impeachment, it is up to us to make sure that the current senate upholds the laws and that they uphold the Constitution.

@@selah71 I hope that is true, and I definitely agree that each of us has to do his part.
