Actually in the Animated Series, there was a lawyer that was saying the same thing that was forced to defend him in the episode. The lawyer changed her stance from prosecuting Batman to making a Batman not needed because " The Criminals made him."

There was a recent comic series called "Batman: White Knight" that actually examined the financial cost of Batman and whether other approaches to solving crime in Gotham would be better.

@@aphedges That comic was set in are world where there's seemingly no Superman or Darksied and other level of heroes & villains.

Oh, I'd sign that petition, where can I find it?

That is certainly the problem now, but the question should also be asked as to what happens once we solve it. Because I don't think it's impossible to have a world where we can have both the potential to become billionaires (individual wealth generation, after all, is a cornerstone of freedom) and the ability to support the whole of society. We cannot be so cynical that we would believe any rich person only spends money to whitewash their own reputation or dodge taxes. And let's be really honest, a lot of anger towards rich people stems from jealousy. There is only so much we can blame "the system", an abstract construct many of us won't even begin to bother to understand, and not have even the slightest bit of accountability. The fact is a lot of us would absolutely readily become or be like the rich if we had the chance, but accepting responsibility for our own behaviour is something beyond a lot of people. This is not an absolute defense of the super-rich (I'm absolutely far from one myself, working an hourly wage and with barely any savings); what I'm saying is we have to be balanced.

@@Zzyzzyzzs Since when was individual generate wealth a cornerstone of freedom? Also, feeling ripped off and feeling jealous are two entirely different things.

@@Zzyzzyzzs a system that allows billionaires to exist can't coexist with one where there is no wealth inequality, that is, one where no one is poor. The ability to accumulate wealth is vastly different from earning it, and the difference is how in the current system millionaires became multi millionaires and billionaires. Wealth is not indefinite, and if we represent it as a balancing beam, then as long as it's concentrated on one side, the other side will never have the same. Jealousy is oftentimes built on a feeling of not having something that someone else does. This is anger, at the 26 (richest billionaires) people who have as much wealth as 3.8 billion (poorest half of the world) people, combined. At Jeff Bezos, having as much money as the health budget of an entire COUNTRY (Ethiopia). This is anger at the system, that allows such outrageously wealthy people to exist and thrive, while others are struggling to make ends meet or aren't at all. The reality is, all of us are more likely to end up poor than end up a billionaire. Justifying billionaires hypothetically with a scenario that puts us in their shoes can only go so far before reality catches up. Billionaires make the conscious choice to keep accumulating wealth, it's time to hold them accountable for it.

@Tim Evans "economic freedom" - you mean the "freedom" to exploit others, to leech "profit" from the work others do. Let's assume for a moment that there were a reasonable and ethical way to earn $1 Million per year: Even if we say that someone who wants to hit that mark would need to work 60 hours per week every week with no holidays, they'd still have to make/average $320.51 per hour. I think we can all acknowledge that not too many jobs pay at that rate. But if someone could and did earn that much and work that much, and somehow live without having to spend a penny of it, they'd have to do that for one thousand years to earn a billion dollars. Even if we consider generational wealth, handed down from parent to child, how many generations is a thousand years. A lot of people in recent years are learning more about their ancestry through genealogy websites, but how many people can trace their family back to 1019 AD? That predates capitalism by several centuries! There simply is no ethical way to become a billionaire. It *necessarily* involves stealing wealth generated by the work of others.

@Tim Evans It's leeching off of others hard work and lining your own pockets is what it is.

@@suckadick7754 Not one of their better decisions…

This did not age well... Hopefully, they'll give him the Daily Show!

I love bats, I love the idea of a genius, martial artist, who saves people through technological gimmicks. I love the batfamily design, especially Barbara Gordon (even though I dislike her police family). However, I think Batman is bad for society. Batman demonizes criminals and mental illness, instead of trying to fix the problems that lead to crime. Batman brutalizes those he fights. Batman tries to control the city through fear at night and through money during the day. Why is environmentalism constantly made into a villain through Poison Ivy - not to mention other good causes are regularly villainized? Batman allies with the police (whom are corrupt and/or violent), and fails to rehabilitate the Gotham prisoner population. Batman is ineffective as the Gotham crime rate never goes down. The figure of Bruce Wayne glorifies wealth and capitalism. Batman has inspired other acts of violent vigilantism.

@@ArticBlueFox96 Actually, the DC writes have caught onto this. There have been several books recently where they criticized that Batman actually haven't done much for Gotham. It's the same shithole it used to be when Batman started. I am forgetting what issues were those exactly, but it's there.

"...Waiting for billionaires to save us... and they don't always get it right!" - Hasan.

@@ArticBlueFox96 There was a period and medium where Batman did more than just beat up on criminals. Batman The Animated Series made a point of having Batman try to connect to the villains, try to reason with them, try to rehabilitate with them, and where those efforts were shown to be able to bear fruit. There were several villains introduced or reintroduced in that series where we saw growth and development, moments where, instead of beating the hell out of a villain, Batman simply let his opponent put their weapon down, and cry for everything that led them to that moment, and the episode would end on that. I distinctly remember a Harley Quinn focused episode where, simply through a series of misunderstandings, Harley went from rehabilitated but on probation to right back in Arkham, just because she started a scene over a dress she'd already paid for but hadn't gotten the security devices removed from. And we see Batman bring her back, but with hope that she'll be back out soon, and sad that things went the way they did. Really, DCAU's Batman was all sorts of great, and the kind of Batman I wish we'd see more often.

Either best or wisest.*

Anand Giridharadas is a really good speaker, and a former NYT reporter. You should definitely check out his videos online. He has two good TEDTalks, and other presentations on various media outlets, as well as a pretty good Daily Show interview with Noah.

I read Winners Take All last year after hearing him on a podcast, and it totally changed the way I saw charity. Now when they ask me at retail stores and fast food places whether I would “like to donate to charity,” at the checkout, I say no, and bite back the very-Anand -Giridharadas-esque, “Pay your damn taxes instead!!” He’s amazing, and so glad he’s getting good traction now. (He also gave a great talk at Harvard, by the way, where he called the university the best reputation laundromat in the world - ouch.)

But the flip side to making Batman unnecessary, I would think, would include the the country starting to be very strictly government controlled... is that something we really want? There's a lot to dig into with this subject...

Tensioncore Nah, in the case of batman, its the influence of Wayne enterprises on Gotham, that even lead to the extreme wealth inequality and corruption, that turned Gotham into a city filled with crime. If instead of putting billions into the development of stupid suits, he would just fund better schools and work on creating more jobs, he could solve the crime problem. And its the same with real life billionaires. Jeff Bezos has workers who need food stamp subsidies to even survive and yet he is praised for donating some money to poor people. Bill Gates got rich with computers that were built with resources that were mined under extreme conditions in extremely poor regions and now he donates some money into the regions where all the rare earths in the chips were mined and acts like his contribution is the best thing to happen. If Bezos would just pay his workers, nobody would need his donations. If Gates would ensure that all the workers in the production chain of his products were fairly compensated, nobody would need his donations. Billionaires create problems and then they act like a simple donation is actually helping.

@M A Right. Like the Go Pro guy trying his hardest to appear like he's cool middle age beach bum guy. Or the continue worship of the wealthy by the wealthy--Ellen showing her love for Bush or Gates.

and even though he performed terribly, in a way he kind of won anyway. before bloomberg, the race was shaping up to be bernie vs biden for the nomination. bloomberg entered the race, which led the bernie campaign to take their eye off the ball (biden) and focus their fire on bloomberg. admittedly they also took their eye off the ball due to biden's poor performance in early states. but then, biden won SC by a large margin, which by itself brought him back in terms of delegates. Now, biden will be the democratic nominee, which means the general will be between biden and trump.

@@Americansikkunt Ehh, what? For one thing, it's not a game show at all because, as I said before, it doesn't exist. Second, I don't understand how 'propaganda' has anything to do with this.

Eric Hanson “noun 1. information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.” Why is a game-show host analyzing the rich and advocating tax-increases? It’s propaganda.

@@Americansikkunt If the "game-show host" you mean is Mr. Minhaj, then I believe the more applicable term is 'talk show', not 'game show'; this may be one reason for my initial confusion, though I understand that it may seem like petty semantics from your point-of-view. Now, why is Hasan Minhaj here discussing the social effects of billionaires (including and perhaps especially their philanthropic efforts) and concluding by advocating to increase their tax rates? It's not propaganda because Hasan's explanations make plenty of sense and are backed up by real facts and rigorous research. He shows the audience his reasons for coming to the conclusions as he does and mentions his sources verbally when he doesn't show them on the large screens behind him. Thus, we can all check his work to be sure he is making as much sense as he thinks he is. I checked a few of these sources myself, and they seem legitimate to me (without a worrying degree of bias one way or another). The conversation at the end with Anand Giridharadas is especially good because of Gridharadas's insightful way of detailing his train of thought so that others can understand why he thinks as he does and why his perspective has a LOT of merit. In short, I can only conclude that you (Cult Boy) didn't actually watch the video with a mind to understand it, but at best 'hate-watched' it in order to pick it apart to satisfy your own previously accepted viewpoint (or perhaps didn't watch the Patriot Act video at all and skipped right to leaving a comment). It's difficult for me to believe that you watched the video with some reasonable degree of open-mindedness before dismissing it entirely as 'propaganda'.

Let's do this people... *Sanders/Warren 2020* Plus: Vote/Support/Donate these and other JUSTICE DEMOCRATS: *Shahid Buttar, Amy Vilela, Cory Bush, Cenk Ugyar, Marie Newman* into Congress 2020 Let's turn the 'squad' into a f+cking progressive army!

Bob Rolander You omitted Andrew Yang. Www.yang2020.com/policies

Feel the Bern 2020

RISE UP BERNIE

@wornohaulus Bernie Sanders literally LED the Congressional effort to stop funding the Saudis... Until Donald Trump vetoed it. I'm afraid you're mistaken.

@wornohaulus care to provide any evidence?

@wornohaulus Are you crazy? Its trolls like you which turn me off from Yang. Media calls the 'Yang Gang' passionate. But everywhere I find them it's a bunch of bullshitters. Bernie Sanders is the OG. I am not arguing he is the best, but he is the OG nonetheless.

“Why the hell would we pay taxes, dear? Paying taxes is for the poor.”

that is patently incorrect.

@@MuchCow9000 Well no it was always made to help the rich. In America it was ALWAYS about who makes more money. The country is literally for profit gain and thats why people like Tesla was erased from the history books and that is why Elon Musk (like many successful companies like google, facebook, amazon) are all slaves to their VC. That is why so many rich people been doing business in the USA. This is also why they overcharge you by a huge margin. You buy a pair of nikes that cost 3 dollar to make, for 100 dollars and that same pair of shoes isn't made from expensive materials, its just materials that makes it durable(the materials could cost maybe 10cents each shoe). America is for profit and it was that way since Lincoln was assassinated. JFK was assassinated because he was going to expose to America what happen to our democracy and our freedom. Anyone who enough evidence and can expose the "Wealthy club" which you and I are not in it, will be assassinated. Same in the case of Clintons.

@@NightRogue77 Actually that is correct in some form because the people who runs for president have money to run. It's not like you can be John Lenon and run for president, because you don't have money. You cannot be a poor person who wanted to run for president and help the poor because you know what the struggle is being poor. People who run for president tends to invest millions or billions of dollars into their campaign and if you dont have that money, no one will know who you are and why you are running. Once they become president, they manipulate the laws in their favor and they use tax dollars (other people's money) for their expenses. Trump is doing that right now. The president have the power to cut funding if he chooses to, which Trump is doing right now. We are looking to a possible future of no retirement and everyone will need to work for the rest of their life to cover their living expenses. With addition to this pandemic, we will be looking at the USA being one of the poorest country in the world.

@@chrisp7110 the only question remains, will military keep together when country goes poor...

russia has lots of oligarchs that have concentrated wealth owned by very few people.. its only communist on the labels

Amarendra Mishra oh i know. sadly. that one was more intended for the meme value. the internationale is a better song for a better ideology (anarchism and libertarian socialism).

@@cybervoid8442 Literally, what label? Everybody should know communism hasn't existed in Russia for decades.

@@morgan0 the only difference between communism and capitalism is that the millionaires in capitalist country control the govt while the millionaires in communist country are the govt

@@sangeethavarmaa3628 that's what capitalists want you to believe (for decades)...

Oh damn!

YES. I was going to comment something like this but you have beaten me to it.

That is Bullshit. There are rich in Russia, but the power is on the people, not like USA...

@@outwiththem hahaha. U r so clueless

Thank you for the kind words.

He was great in this! Would love to see the whole interview! Great episode

@@AnandBaburajan you are the hero we need right now.

@@AnandBaburajan haha... I bet you were waiting for someone to put in that comment..

@my name is my name failed economic model that never worked.

Aanchal Saxena oh it wasn’t a failure, it did exactly what it was intended to do: make the rich richer, and the poor poorer.

It's so true. (´;︵;`)

It is but any peaceful older person will tell you the long hard fight gives you a sense of self you can't get from being ignorant, diss the material and work on the spiritual it's the ultimate truth and test of life

No. Keep pushing, keep that hope intact. This world is a worse place because the good people did nothing.

Then get smarter. Stop watching drivel like this that only focuses on the worst-case scenario of every issue they claim to "discuss." Calling Jeff Bezos an asshole? The guy just donated 100 million dollars to fight homelessness. That makes him an asshole? He's also donated nearly 20 million to neuroscience research to combat brain diseases, nearly 3 million for gay-rights advocacy, 33 million to scholarship initiatives for immigrants, AND... he started a *2 billion dollar* fund to educate the homeless. Bezos has *given away more money than the people reading this comment will likely ever make combined* but this dipshit host jokes that he's an asshole, and all billionaires are evil because they don't do with their money *exactly* what he thinks they should. Give me a break. Most people have no idea how much these people give - clearly the host of this tripe doesn't. Stop watching this garbage. You'll be smarter for it.
