2:30 someone says something. Share positive media. Nice try. That won’t work. You’re dealing with people who’ve already embraced a big lie, an essential part of which is to believe anyone or any source that disagrees is lying to them. Here’s how this actually works. Someone says something that you’ve never heard anything about. The best response is not ‘let’s look that up.’ It takes a leap of faith to challenge it. You’re response should be, ‘That’s bullshit.’ I’ve learned a lot of history, follow the news closely, have worked in politics, have a powerful bullshit detector. I was in a lawyer’s office when his partner burst in, “The Democrats want to take all our wealth. Biden has a bill to tax unrealized capital gains.” I knew about this, so I called him out. “A congressional staffer put that in a huge list of proposals. It was quickly shot down two weeks ago. Biden didn’t have anything to do with it.” Didn’t slow him down a bit. Finally I said, “Look, I don’t do anything based on fear.” Maybe the other lawyer I was speaking to learned something about Mr Panic. The only thing we can hope for with the ‘spreader’ is that they hesitate before they start shouting the next time. Based on speaking with Americans who voted for Trump in this recent election, they all watch Fox News, don’t get news from other sources. They believe most other news sources are ‘too liberal’ and cannot be trusted. They sound brain washed. About the excess 700,000 Americans who died from COVID as a direct result of Trump’s delays and interference? They will say, “What are you talking about Trump sped up the development of the vaccines.” “No, that was Fauci.” “Fauci, humpf.” That’s the exchange. They need to run into several people and sources that speak the truth about this, and not in a passive manner. Use the Socratic Method, is neutral (initially). Just ask questions. There’s a not very well put together video of how Obama does this. Obama’s a master. I think this video means well but is naive. If you really want to engage with the people in your world , establish a reputation for being insightful, correct, helpful and competent. It's great if part of this is having made a lot of money. Clearly you understand something much much better than most people if you're successful. But it takes intelligence and an open mindset to accept that maybe you should change your thinking. Not many people are like this. The most likely outcome of being repeatedly right is fixed mindset people will avoid disagreeing with you. They aren't 'cured' but at least they'll spread the lies less.

Thank you for the clarity.

I thought she was gonna say "Every single day of my life I thought about the US".

Most aMErikans have no idea about operation paperclip and how it was implemented into our lives like the tv programming system

All hail the GodKing Trump and the heir his royal grace Baron the Tallest! Murica!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂

“Making it impossible to rise and leave the underclass of the working poor”. This is a patently false statement on its’ face. The only people in America that that actually applies to are Black Americans who are hindered, targeted, sabotaged and murdered, purposely, for every minute of America’s existence. All the latino immigrants you’re referring to are coddled and pampered, and they are often supportive of white supremacy and the racist system of tyranny called America. Have you even ever spoken to a Mexican immigrant about racism in America??

Your 100% right

I wonder what that propaganda says about Israel

Nice job on leaving out the fact that the payroll tax in Germany is five times what the Medicare payroll tax is in America.

All my life there are three things that ALWAYS come to mind when I read, see, or hear anything How? Why? Then what? I am 60. I have been reading since the age of 3. I grew up reading anything I could get my hands on. My parents censored NOTHING. I read 3-4 newspapers a day. I knew what bias in media looks like by the time I was 10. What drives me nuts these days is people calling me an idiot.for asking logical questions that no one is vocal about and/or having forethought and the ability to think ahead and be able to say "that's not going to go the way you think it is." I have lost count of how many times I was called paranoid when I turned out to be correct.

Wow, this is such a unique video. While the mainstream media and all popular channels are drowning in "in your face" propaganda or subtle messaging, this video gets straight to the point - question everything you see with "why". 👍

Americans are taught to think critically, but have been programmed by media to react emotionally to everything. Dumbing down our schools hasn’t helped.

You get what you vote for.

These principles were taught in the midwest in the 70's and 80's to me and then in the 90's and 2000's to my children. This was through home econ, history and social studies, etc. I sincerely doubt this isn't the case today. The difference is some folks have been brainwashed into not believing the credible sources if it goes against Fox New Propaganda or Extreme Left Wokism. Sadly, these folks are the loudest.

Musk is a naturalized American citizen who should be kept away from the White House. Trump deserves to be embarrassed. You are great! Thanks for your always sane updates.

No kidding. My wife and I lived in Kuwait for 10 years. Like 90% of our debt disappeared. By 2019 our credit score ( which was in the 500’s when we left the US) was now in the 790’s. We were able to get a 2.8% mortgage during COVID ( when we returned ) and bought a house. Which has been the best investment of our lives. But now we have a shitty credit score again. This is an example of how the whole US economic system is an exploitative racket aimed at just sucking money out of people and degrading them to be chained to employers who will never pay you what you are worth and will lock you into indentured servitude.

Yes please - a more advanced explanation is welcome! 😊

what is the book called?

I'm curious if German students are taught that people tend to be angry at the messenger when we're told that our beliefs are a result of propaganda. I keep hearing that people can't trust the mainstream media because they're such liars, well right, but what if the mainstream media has been lying all our lives about America being the land of opportunity and America has the most freedom in the world?

The American dream is to own a home. America's homeowner rate is 65%, Germany's is 45%. Living the dream

Musk is getting quite dangerous, as in the UK he will sponsor the same type of political party too... yes, Google it.

Wow, Germany hasn't come far from their Nazi past. This is crazy

The discussion is usually "Salad bowl vs. Melting Pot"...

we did trust them, then they said they cant define a woman and the covid vaccine would stop you from getting sick.

Then on the other hand in other US states teachers like mine teachers are afraid to touch a child even in a natural human way. I know part of the differences are cultural - but it was surprising and sweet for me to see Italian teachers giving a hug to or a touch on the arm to encourage their teenaged students.

The only thing I "learned" from this video (which otherwise just shares what is obvious to any adult American who has been paying attention) is that German students, like students everywhere I suppose, have to put up with some pretty lame courses that try to make a sort of crude analysis of something into a sort of would be social science.

Is it propaganda when the book is said to sell in the thousands? Kidding. But really-it sells for $30- for the paperback. Edit to add: grateful for the video, attention to the topic, and even to the Germans for learning from the Holocaust, and showing determination not to fall prey again.

Wow, wow, wow, wow.

CRAAP test: Currency Relevance Authority Accuracy Purpose

where is this information from? Is there a link?

Lost me at the statistics, you can't expect me to able to count to 100! Not to mention UNDERSTAND PERCENTAGES? What do I look like, like I graduated 4th grade?! Ma'am I ain't no doctor.

My question is, “Where is the propaganda?” Often times it’s a sandwich, it lays between two or more layers of truth. For example, the amazing book that was mentioned in the first few seconds of this video but not named and not shown. The media echoes propaganda, how else could it work? I check up to 6 sources and because my media sources are diverse, I’m not in an echo chamber of conservative or liberal news, and depending on what I’m researching I’ll look at the perspective of other centrist news from other countries as well.

I like this system. And in Denmark, we have a million different parties. We have so many parties that ALL work together to shape Denmark as it is. Same goes for many other EU parties. Only difference of course, is that one party has the prime minister and that party is the main party. Its a great system (the best, the hugest, very great)

Ever since I was a child.... I have seen these patterns and always wondered why others can't see the manipulation. Now that psychological manipulation on steroids is everywhere, it's maddening.

Moving out of the US gets you good Karma!! 😂

How sad the Germans are doing more for our education system than our own government.

A really good question to ask before you start to try and decipher media is "what am I affraid of?" Sounds simple, but I dare you to do it and actually gain understanding about yourself first.

Please don't use portrait mode in TH-cam videos.

We too dumb, our research skills are facebook and so so and told me. On the other hand surface level research leads to pseudo intellectual conspiracy nuts. How many people actually know how to write a proper research paper… This would require education and financial resources. Most of Americans aren’t very educated

Not surprising

Germany is communism and in the U.S.A. we are addicted to fentanal so we are not as efficient as you are

Very interesting video. For me, whenever I see anything in front of my eyes that is not natural - I ask myself who paid for this and what do they want out of it. Because, at least in the US every single bit of media we see is paid for by someone or something for a particular reason. There are several motives which I think are important to know - it's the same as advertising. In America, reality itself is for sale to the highest bidder. The only choice we have is to note the difference between different corporations, industries or billionaires. Meanwhile China and even Russia are gaining on us, and over us, and in the case of China and the public sector they are pulling way ahead of us. Those US billionaires are sucking up everything they can from the people, impoverishing their minds, lives and bank accounts. The US needs a middle class revolution, and part of that should be the outlawing of billionaires.

The American Dream is to be in debt up to your eyeballs until you die.

Wow so theyre forced to cooperate or else they lose!! It’s not like our US system of winner takes all. Cooperation rather than annihilation. What a concept!! But Americans be like: “But do they have FREEDOM?!” And “but at what cost??” And “but are they #1??” 😂

The propaganda works looking at the comments lmfaooo

How do you spot German propaganda? You seem to be an expert on the United States of America propaganda. You willingly made a decision to make your home in a country barely one generation removed from the most horrific crimes against humanity. Maybe you should go easy on the moral high ground thing. Most people are not interested in giving up their United States citizenship to get a few crumbs of benefits from the German authorities. Your little paradise over there is doomed. Your economy is in deep trouble as machinist strike to keep a plant open to build more cars no one wants to buy "VW". The demographics don't lie, Germany is running out of people. 125 years of terrible decisions, leadership,ideology and many other things has it's consequences. Good luck

I wander if they study Russian propaganda the same way. Because Germany was infiltrated heavily, with their shift to Russian gas and switching off nuclear - you can see Russian fingerprints everywhere... And AFD is growing, openly supporting murderous fascist regime, while pro-Russian politicians which led Germany to this horrible crisis - are still in power, not accountable... I like healthy scepticism, but there is still anti-erivan bias in Germany which allows other forces to work

I asked myself Why you framed this video as being about "US propaganda" when all your (very reasonable) advice applies to media and information generally. My guess is if I followed the money you are intentionally using emotional triggers in your video titles to get clicks to add to your tens of millions of views.
