    A few things I like is the vid is done by a foreign chic easy on the eyes. Always great they use examples of people who have experienced what is being preached vs those who have never experienced anything they are selling. Hard to buy a vacuum cleaner from someone who has never used one while trying to read the manufacture notes.

    Dont like the soundbyte style. but this is the game for todays audiences.

    • i still question whom benefits voting up or down. well not really. its AB testing to push the best drivel to the top. i just don't see qbn's gain in the systemdeathboy
    • they don't capitalize on users. There's no need to control for majority. still very curious of the their end goals on such a thingdeathboy
    • your links starts 41s. 1st thing she said is socialism "always leads to violence". Given the deeply violent culture of USA i would say her claim needs reviewinglowimpakt
    • I stopped watching after that because if that is the level of analysis it's not worth watchinglowimpakt
    • im sorry low i didn't know copy paste post start at a set time. just go to the beginning. as far as socialism violence vs usa violence... well you need moredeathboy

    • The US has been at war in some form for almost the entirety of its existence https://en.wikipedia…lowimpakt
    • but what ideals created the war low? was it not collective interest?deathboy
    • Im sure the my sentiments don't change based on the politics or war.this isnt about look theres war. its what causes itdeathboy
    • and your wiki link was broken. but i get the jist of your approach. if you want to explain wars happens less with mob ruledeathboy
    • i think you will be challenged. I dont know where war hasn't evolved from some strong collectivist viewdeathboy
    • you could argue the north in the civil war had a strong collective view point in they worked togetherdeathboy
    • however there view was founded in individual rights. the south was collectivedeathboy
    • and yes sometimes collectives can and do help the individual cause. many exist with claims they do such things. but few do.deathboy
