Each and every person on here should watch Dwight Eisenhower's Farewell speech as President, He tried to warn us about the Military Industrial Complex
@Awakened Anarchism @Mars Falcon
Full video of Eisenhower's farewell address at this link.

@Hate Is taught you cant pick your color at birth ~ if you would like an idea of what's Plaguing the nation, Please watch an hour long video from Ralph Nader called ~ The Road to Corporate Fascism
@@MsPrincesspaulina That was powerful. In present day it presents Eisenhower as someone who saw the present and was only concerned with the country's future.
I almost forgot that presidents used to be litarate
@Mars Falcon lol!
It’s almost as if it used to be policy, not party, that mattered.
You are damn right!
As it should be. Go figure.
Weird right?
Key part of that comment?
"Used to"
I'm not much for policy or party. I prefer the law.
I learn something EVERY time I hear this dude.
👆👍
Same here ...he a smart guy and really like the way he talks trying to educate people in a calm manner l.
Same, he makes so much sense.
He talked about how the cost of every piece of military equipment was taking food out of people's mouths among other things. I stood transfixed in front of moms TV knowing what he was saying was really important although I didn't understand exactly how important. Looking back, now I do. As seriously as I took that speech I didn't take it seriously enough. I never would have believed that before my life was quite over our police would be issued excess military equipment for use against our own people or that we would upend the entire middle east. That our infrastructure would crumble, our industrial areas would all but disappear, our family farms would be replaced by factory farms and commodity production owned by big investors, that multinational corporations would buy our government policies or that our country would be hollowed out with all the wealth being sucked from the middle class up to the top in the form of taxes to subsidize corporations and wealthy campaign donors much less that the wealthiest corporations would be exempt form paying taxes but paid billions for locating their business where they intend to locate anyway. Things sure have changed a lot in my lifetime. I admit I do like the technology though.
Pay close attention to what happens these days in America's most-financially-marginal places (rural areas) where the cost per-person of services (doctors, dentists, schools, roads, hospitals, internet, water & sewer utilities, police coverage, etc) is not supportable by the local tax base. Out there, hospitals are closing. Peak America came and went already. You may safely use the post-USSR collapse of the former Soviet Union as a model for some aspects of what's coming next.
@@surelyyoujokemeinfailure7531 The problem is not lack of money. It's how the government chooses to spend the money. I know what rural America is like. I live there because of the horses. I travel to the next state over for the closest decent medical care.
@@leealexander3507 Peach it! There is a very high cost to maintaining the biggest military force the world has ever seen, with bases in more than 180 countries. Roman Empire on steroids :(
@@surelyyoujokemeinfailure7531 There's enough left over to sell to countries like Saudi Arabia. More than half our budget goes to the arms industry.
Your response should be taken to heart by all. The trolls, name-callers, belittlers, bullies, and snarks should pay attention.
Yes! My Mom always says she used to be a Republican until they changed!
Glad she saw the light
Angela Borgen My Granny used to be a Republican, and my Mom a Democrat. They used to laugh about going to "kill each other's vote". Then Granny registered Democrat, (wish I knew when), saying, "You can always tell a Republican. They never smile." I guess she wanted to have a reason to smile. :)
Janet Baker hopefully some day 😋
I was briefly a Republican decades ago.
I was a Republican.
I'm sorry.
Thanks for mentioning the interstate highway system. Makes me think we could get just about anything funded and done if we tied it to a Defense requirement. Heck, we could even go to the moon...wait.
I still think that's the way to get climate change addressed.
Considering the US Army had declared climate change as the greatest threat to America, it's only a matter of time before someone who isn't crazy or paid to lie for the fossil fuel industry it will get taken care of coughcoughberniesanderscoughcough
@Jimbus Rift no green militarism. The idea that in the long term our troops will be atbabdisadvantage if we use fleeting resources like oil and coal and so on
Beau of the Fifth Column I could see Trump being like "Alright china we got nukes. Go green or die"
@@BeauoftheFifthColumn - I think that's the best way to address health care. Since we have no science-based goals, like being in the space race, we've let our education system languish. For a lot of Americans, there has to be a "them" and a selfish reason to help others. Sad.
I’m glad you mentioned the military industrial complex. Not only has it kept us on a series of endless wars but it cheapens (probably not the best word...I don’t know...diminishes?) the service of our troops. Their sacrifice is real but we just send them out there for no real cause. Putting people in harm’s way just to be a superpower just makes you a super villain. Sorry for the ramble but with the holidays some of my friends and family are missing loved ones due to these endless wars.
Not to mention the foreign troops and civilian lives also caught up in that.
As always, well said Beau. Just wanted to wish you a very Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year for you and your family. All the best. Mitch
Julie here, blessed, blessed may your family be, Beau. Give your wife a big hug for us. Happy and incredible New Year as you teach so well.
All the best Julie. Happy New Year. 😀

It’s amazing how people have been brainwashed. I don’t even know how to combat it. Just not in skill set.
'I don't even know how to combat it.'
Step 1 : Get rid of Moscow Mitch.
Cut the head off the snake. Then let it die.
They just dont know their history.
I am not surprised. There is a whole industry, a multi billion dollar industry with very specialized skill set propagandizing people into believing what they want people to believe. And the conditioning starts early. It takes a lot of courage, willpower, soul-searching, knowledge and pain to break away from it. In addition they know exactly what they want, and are well organized to achieve their goal, while we are just a bunch of free thinkers without clearly defined goals going against powerful machine.
Is victory possible? Yes. In the 1980's the Soviet block was considered a powerful monolith ruling half of the planet, keeping its iron grip not only on the population of today's Russia, but also dozens of countries in central Europe. What broke the Soviet union was that the people in those countries stopped believing official narrative. Economic sanctions helped to break Soviets grip, but without mass movement of the people in these countries Soviet empire would survive, at least for couple more decades. Break the official narrative and you will effect changes. Easy - no. Doable - yes.

Stop the mindless consumerism & don't consume toxic wealth porn. It's being weaponized to make the masses wistful & angry.
To hell with party. Whatever happened to people of conviction, courage, and a strong moral compass?! That's what I've read about Eisenhower. FDR was a bit different, more of an intellectual type, but still built of the same stuff. Where did that go?? Now we have to deal with an orange haired rodent that's got the moral compass of a freakin' Roach (not to put down Roaches)! AND, Moscow Mitch and company follow his lead?! FFS...
Mix Pick I agree, friend. It’s disgraceful how this country has deteriorated. I don’t want to see “party” anymore, I want to see policy.
Ronald Reagan, Mitch McConnell and his ilk paved the way for the Tea Party faction and Trump to become the significant co-optors of the Republican Party. When the Religious Right began its assault on secular socioeconomic political issues from the pulpit and SCOTUS defined corporations as individuals with the same rights as human beings and unleashed Citizens United on the voting and elections process and a majority of the populace became complacent that the USA was too great to fail ...the perfect political nightmare has become a reality that may create another mundane autocracy in the history of mankind.
@@appalachianqueen8369 I'd go back further than that. I think Nixon and the "Southern Strategy" is what really unleashed the hounds of Hell into the party.
@@Shadowman4710 I'd say it was Barry Goldwater and the 1964 election so yes, even before Nixon.
@@BrianRetro I wouldn't argue that. It's a fair point.
Beau, I don't know what more I can say to express my high regards for you! You make me cry. In a totally good way.👏💝☮️🎃
This is an important message for Republicans.
Thanks Beau for all the work you do on this channel. Your curious mind is an asset to everyone who listens so I always share to Twitter.
I was born in Canada in 1953. The first time I remember seeing my mom cry was when my father died on my seventh birthday. The next time I saw her cry was when President Kennedy was shot and killed. My uncle was a Staff Sargent with the USAF. Our country’s used to be so close. I grew up about ten miles from the US border. My first girlfriend as a teenager was from North Dakota. Now I find myself recoiling from the hate in your country. I know I have changed over time, but not in the way your country has. I fear for the friends that still live there.
I've seen people I grew up respecting turn hateful and bitter, it's been heartbreaking to watch. What really doesn't make any sense is that the generation that benefited the most from the New Deal are quickly dismantling everything about it.
Over half of Americans hate what's going on with the "allowed trump administration" and the republican that support this but the rest of us are fighting against this abomination in our country so don't hate those of us who don't support this. Pray that "the PEOPLE" vote BLUE. I'm very sad and appalled at what trump has done to the relationship with my country's best allies, Canada, France , Germany, Japan, Great Britain etc. and has sided with Putin, Kim Jong Un, and other repulsive dictators. Please Pray for the American people who are standing up against this. I've been hearing latey that my state North Carolina, which usually goes Red will most probably Vote Blue in our 2020 election and the "Deplorable Congressman Mark Meadows" from my district is Not running for re-election so I hope we can elect a Democrat for his seat. Best Wishes for our countries and the world to become a better place for all Earth's people.
Wally Boyce I am an American and I fear for my family and friends especially those who ride the Trumpian tide and deny its the depth of its destructive force.
@@jdcole333 Bingo. Trump and his supporters mostly grew up in an era of American prosperity, and now they are cheering on Trump as he dismantles all of the supports for that same prosperity.
@@jdcole333 It is already gone. Time for a new deal and no time for fear
It is time to put the greed in this country in check.
We need to stop putting the same gov. official in office and expecting change it is just not going to happen.
And we need to tax all religious institutions. If they want to play politics then they should pay taxes like everyone else.
I'm not an American nor have I experienced first hand what's happening in your country but I must say, you are the type of person I want to sit down and have a beer with. Absolutely brilliant .
Eisenhower would be considered ultra left by today's standards, sadly.
Reagan would be considered a left-wing by summer today's Republicans
@Manda Eisenhower would definitely be considered a RINO(Republican in name only) today. Another indicator showing how far right the Republicans have moved is George Will leaving the party. Some of the younger people don’t even know who Bill Buckley is. I’m not a Republican but this is the Republican I grew up with and could respect. Today some of Trump’s supporters remind me of the Brown Shirts of the early Nazi party.
@@jamesricker3997 Ah, no.
Reagan was the head of the Screen Actors Guild during the HUAC McCarthy purge. He was an authoritarian who reveled in the destruction of anything that inconvenienced his delusions.
If you can wrap your head around a marxist critique of base and superstructure, Reagan sold off anything and everything productive inside the US to any country that didn't have civil rights so that American civil liberties wouldn't interfere with the extraction of profit from workers.
You're too young to remember, but David Stockman said, "the service sector will absorb those workers" as if China and Mexico would go on accepting the terms of the capital/labor deal imposed on them forever.
We're coming up on the historical limits of American investment and Chinese wage slavery. I suspect Fry's electronics is a foreshadowing of Walmart.
"I'm undoubtedly a liberal, which means that I'm in almost total agreement with the Eisenhower-era Republican party platform." - Rachel Maddow

Excellent segment. I have taken this same line with Eisenhower myself many times. Sadly, folks on the right are too oblivious to what is happening right in front of their faces now.
Thank you for reminding us of the days when the Overton Window wasn't falling off the right hand edge of the graph.
That's the one thing Trum;p is good at: shifting the Overton Window.

Excellent video. Thank you.
Perfectly said. Thank you
Hi Beau. If only more political commentators had your style and content! Your knowledge of history and the ability to relate it to current events is terrific. I love your politics, but even if I didn’t I’d listen and digest your message. Your channel gives me hope for the future of the USA. Thanks.
Oh, back when it wasn't about party, it was about country. ::sigh::
What an incredible series of thoughtful videos. This young man exemplifies what an American should sound like. Bravo, well done.
Amen and pass the biscuits.
Has Beau talked about how Ayn Rand's "philosophy" affected the Republican party?
No but he should.. the thing is though I have not seen all of his videos. He may have mentioned it. I might have missed it.
Na, there's enough "John Galt" screen names in the comments already.
Beau of the Fifth Column well said..
@@BeauoftheFifthColumn - And they're either well off, or hoping that they can become John Galt if they drink enough GOP poison.
Yah, Atlas Shrugged = the sociopath's handbook.
I like Ike, cause he was further to the left than even the Establishment Dems nowadays!
Really? This is precisely why the term “establishment” should be a bit more policy specific when used.
Most idiotic Americans don’t know this!
Cynthia Arroyo ...Idiotic? His point isn’t necessarily backed by facts.......
I think Theodore Roosevelt was also further left than anyone in 2019 except maybe Bernie Sanders.
Except when it came to military.
That's one of the ironies: all those Republicans squalling about how liberals are so horrible and leftist and this and that don't know that Democrats are now Eisenhower Republicans. Many Dems don't, either.
Thanks Beau.
I love your brain and I love your heart. Thank you for existing.
keep keeping it real Beau.
one would think that having a FIT AND HEALTHY POPULATION through HEALTHCARE for everyone would be a major goal of the military Industrial Complex.
having sick and dying citizens means a piss poor base from which to draw military staff.
I disagree, keeping basic healthcare expensive to the populace is a driver to enlistment.
croco dile You've got a point. If you can't find a decent job, or afford healthcare, the military will take care of it. Maybe not so much if you come back from fighting in BFE badly injured, and damaged for life.
@@rhodawatkins4516 not just healthcare, but add in tuition assistance, and for some consideration from immigration courts for family members, and that's a risk that many choose to take
@@rhodawatkins4516 but if your pool of people the military want to enlist from is neither fit nor healthy, then the military is hardly likely to accept them are they.
there is a reason why the military are accepting immigrants, they can pass the bloody physical!
a high percentage of military age people in the USA are either OBESE, UNEDUCATED or have other medical illness', the pool of military reinforcements is very lacking, America no longer has the "home grown cannon Fodder" available in prior wars.

One of your best yet, Beau!
Keep those thoughts coming, Beau. The world will be a better world hearing your thoughts.
You brought up a lot of good points here. I don’t really care about what a person claims to identify with as far as political party or religion is concerned. I care about their character as an individual and I think people should be more focused on that as opposed to what team a person claims to represent.
Why do you think the wealthy separated us into teams? Our government is not a two party system. They're one big happy bunch. We're divided by skin color, socioeconomic class, political party, and on and on and on. They use whatever scare tactics and propaganda they can to divide us. Do not forget that Obama was the president that allowed the use of propaganda against the American people. Well he's the one that made it legal. That's why Trump and company are getting away with this crap that they're doing. They work together against us. It's time for US to work together against them.
Character is definitely high on my priorities when selecting a candidate, but policy is what I gravitate to most. I don't care what party you belong to if your policies are of the people, by the people and for the people. #Bernie2020 He HAS shown us the way.
@@michelewalburn4376 some people fail to acknowledge that the left wing & right wing are still part of the same bird 🦅
You got that right, friend.
Michele Walburn Please explain about Obama using propaganda against the people. I admit, I was not paying attention, or looking for, or expecting bad behavior from him the way I have been since trump reared his ugly head as a likely candidate. He did not give off anywhere near the same awful vibes that trump does, and I was happy about that. Sounds like I may have missed a few things.
Maybe it's the timing, but you've been dropping some heavy artillery truth bombs lately.
Definitely the timing.

@@BeauoftheFifthColumn Ooh, Ahh, Up the RA?
Up the Provos
Civilian control of the military was so important to Ike that he had never registered to vote. He was neither a Democrat nor a Republican and was recruited by both teams. Ideologically he was either a moderate Democrat or a moderate Republican. Take your pick. The Interstate was sold as the Interstate National Defense Highway System because of his experience with the fighting through the horrible European roads. He also instituted the first student loan program which I am a beneficiary of. The full title was the National Defense Student Loan Program. It came originally with almost no interest. The banks were not allowed to gouge students because the loans were fully backed by the federal government and carried zero risk. As President, he never saluted the military or returned their salute. It's a small but important distinction on who is given and who is accepting honors. It is the militaries duty to give honor to the civilian commander in chief as an extension of the citizens not the other way around.
"Civilian control of the military was so important to Ike that he had never registered to vote."
What?
@@Mythraen Its correct. Look it up. Once he became the civilian Commander in Chief the also stopped saluting the honor guard. That was mostly an invention of Nixon who had his own flirtation with becoming Dear Leader.
@@Ravenscaller It's not a matter of whether it's correct.
It's the fact that I see no correlation between civilian control of the military and registering to vote.
It's a quaint notion and not widely accepted even at the time but it was his belief that the military should remain as non-political as possible. That the job of the miliary is to salute the flag, defend the nation and to accept the orders of it's elected leadership. One way to do that it to stay out of taking sides. You should also consider this in the context of his contemporary MacArthur who attempted to grant himself the authority to usurp the President's orders regarding Korea.
I completely agree with your last comment regarding the passing of honors. Yes the Interstate system was sold as at least in part a military project and as was the student loan program. In the beginning the interest banks could charge on student loans was set very low because they were guaranteed. A student loan was free income to the bank. The government would repay no matter what. Overtime of course the banks, being banks, turned into a profit making monstrosity. Thanks for the reply.
Hi Beau! I love how the topic is referenced in your shirt. Yeah, I have one just like it. You rock out loud, and are a touchstone of sanity with an outlook that looks to help, not hurt. Thank you for sharing your historical knowledge with us. You have the power to put things into perspective for everyone, and you break it down so well. Thanks again, sir. Mad props from NY!
Brother thanks for reminding us what we are all about. Keep replanting the seeds that made America. We will walk the path with you.
Thank you for this one.
Have used Ike to explain why I once respected republicans, even voted for a few locally. And am almost immediately blasted by BOTH sides for: how could you vote for your own children's future to be destroyed?, the democrats started the kkk! ....people on all sides are becoming more unapproachable.
this was the best video ever I salute you Sir
Wow...an informed person. That's refreshing to see and listen to.
thank you for the history. When I look at America today I want to cry.
Eisenhower also decreased the military budget.
Hey, Beau, can you PLEASE explain the ideological shift post 1965??
I would like to see a video like that too
That would be good video
that guy the statement that the “welfare state” costs 3 times the defense budget is true, but misleading. In 2017, roughly 27% of the federal budget went to Medicare, 24% went to Social Security, and 15% went to the Defense Department. The funding for Medicare is complex. A good chunk of it comes from a dedicated payroll tax. Another good amount comes straight out of your Social Security check when you go on Medicare, which is mandatory at age 65. The rest comes from the general tax fund. The majority of Social Security payments come from the payroll tax which pretty much all of us who have drawn a paycheck have contributed to. I really doubt that many working class Americans would want to see the elimination of Medicare and Social Security. Any hope for even a halfway decent retirement for them would be eliminated, and millions upon millions of retired Americans who currently are just squeaking by would be financially devastated. The social cost to the country as a whole would be enormous. Every American over 65 who is not very wealthy would be up in arms, quite possibly literally.
that guy not quite. It was the civil rights act that LBJ signed into law. When he did it he knew that Democrats would lose the south for decades. Nixon came up with “the southern strategy”. Google it.
I think the JFK assassination was the turning point. Up until then, I think the country was still feeling the post-WW2 buzz, a heady optimism that all was well (if you were white, anyway). Sure, there were rumblings of racial disparity, rumblings of foreign war, and the USSR was a big scary boogeyman - but all Disney movies need a boogeyman, right? We were still living the 1950s conviction that here in the US of A, anything was possible. And boy, three bullets fired in Dallas in late 1963 drove that point home, hard. We lost our innocence that day, and never got it back. We lost our way, and still haven't found it. That event changed us - we became cynical, distrustful, and embittered.
Just subscribed to Beau. I love this guy. He seems so level headed and peacefully explains his points. Very interesting and informative. I will be watching more.
I'd also point out that Eisenhower as a Republican was in a time before the John Birch Society, The Federalist Society, the Koch family, the Bush Family the Mercer's etc really started to have an influence on the direction the GOP was going to take particularly in regards to taxes and the social safety net, paid for of course, by taxes.
It's hard to imagine republicans being reasonable people.
They worry now about how they Can get more of that endless Russian money.
I wonder how long it will take them to realise it's not endless and that paying it back is going to hurt more than just their wallets?
Beau of the Fifth Column, you are SPOT ON, my man!
I am so glad I found out about you. You are a breath of fresh air.
I was called a conspiracy theorist for quoting Eisenhower years ago, he stfu when I said who I was quoting.
Lets not forget; for all his faults, Nixon the Republican did much to save our environment and limit pollution. How is their current climate-change-denialism record?
Richard Nixon may have actually done that out of spite on his father put he called "the worst lemon farmer in California".
His father made decisions that looked good in the short-term but were long-term catastrophic, that taught Richard Nixon the lesson at what you do today affects your tomorrow. Today's Republicans do not seem to have learned that lesson

@@matthewgaines10 the terrible truth that our gov't kills folks for fun & profit, at home & abroad, is too awful to consider. It's easier to wave flags & say "we're #1".
Not much more anyone can do but speak the truth. I cannot comprehend those that hold onto a lie, when they have access to a truth. Trump supporters have a lot of misplaced anger, and they support doing real harm. I don’t think that can be fixed.

I like arguing with trolls online. It's my way of challenging my ideas understanding what other people think and why.
A lot of Republicans think that the parties didn't switch. I give them evidence and they pooh pooh it. They say that I'm racist for opposing the party of Lincoln. It miffs me a little.
Everything I can find indicates that the parties did switch, and that Republicans are now the antithesis of what Republicans were before the 1960's. So either every source I can find is wrong, or my interlocutors are extremely ignorant, or disingenuous.
The strongest evidence is where the leaders of a certain Klan group migrated and who they supported in 2016... They (The Klan as a whole) were located among democrats, but after the 1960s, most if not all are Republican or Republican leaning... that goes for Neo-Nazi's as well... Not to mention their alliance with the Klan and one of their supporters publicaly supporting Trump... so those saying a switch never happened are blind... extremely and utterly blind... to it all
@@J0J0155 👀 I totally agree! ✍🏾👏🏾💯‼
That is such a "touchy" subject (👁 sore to some) in American history...

Mr. Beau, your words of truth are worse than a knee buckling slap in the face! Keep 'em coming, please.
Just came across this by accident.
Respect...... very moving and deeply felt. All power to you
There are no Eisenhower Republicans in office anymore. To be frank, there are no Reagan Republicans either. The party has gone full John Birch.
Who tf is John Birch?

@Mars Falcon Thank you for sharing your knowledge and pointing him in the right direction
The highest marginal tax rate was 91%. Try telling that to a modern "Republican".
I like to tell people who say Lincoln was a Republican that Sherman was also a Republican and he wanted to organize land reforms to break up plantations and grant 40 acres and a mule to every family, especially to freed people.
Lincoln wouldn't remotely recognize his party today. In fact, during the 2016 convention, a proposal was seriously put forward to posthumously disavow Lincoln and strike him from the party. It failed, but had a surprising amount of support.
Thank you Sir

There hasn't been a decent Republican since Eisenhower.
I happen upon your channel by accident. I am impressed and can not stop listening to you. I have never written a comment on a youtube channel before. Your platform hit home with me and my views. I feel as though we have a kinship. Now, this is a long shot because I am an African-American, and your views are more profound than any Black activist out there in the atmosphere. I will recommend and support your channel going forward. People need to hear from you. The cliche "don't judge a book by its cover" genuinely does apply to you and your platform. Keep up the excellent work. I will be sharing your channel with all I know.
Yes on all points, Beau!
I Like Ike.
I'd like to think it's a sign of the tide shifting, but I've made it through Thanksgiving and Christmas and not one of my family's Obama hating lifelong GOPers who have loved to babble about how evil democrats are mentioned a single thing.
I hope that's true, Josh. A happier New Year to us all.
My Republican brother did not mention politics.
Thanks again for the truth. Eisenhower was very concern about what was already happening and that the peopel were not being informed. thanks again.
Thank you.
politics just get me depressed at this point. So much negativity and different sides to a story that i dont even know whats true or false. It sucks. I believe we dont need political parties or labels, we just need people who are moral, ethical and will make change for the benefit of human kind. theres a lot of weird people on both left and right so i dont identify with them. America needs to be a place for, by, and of the people period.
At this point it's not just negativity -- it's outright hatred. I agree that it's depressing.
I just had a long argument with a republican guy who said essentially that the richest people in the world deserve money and liberals eat up all the welfare and he cant wait until there is a civil war so he can hang every liberal he sees from a street light.
anyway what im trying to say is.
i think the republicans have succesfully brainwashed these people to hate an even broader group of people and i think they dont even see dems as people PERIOD
dangerous teetertot of a time we are living in for sure.
Following the recent protests, police action, dissent and so on, I've seen comment threads on some videos that are basically summed up as
Dem: There's gonna be a civil war at this rate.
Rep: Heh... won't be much of a war.
Dem: Why's that?
Rep: We won't hesitate.
"The state serves the people." Beau your youtube channel is a beacon of hope and the promise of the internet realized. Thank you.
Hey, I'm turning 18 today, should I sign up for the draft, I mean, I'm not gonna let them draft me anyways
Well realistically we won't have a draft anytime soon. I can understand the ideological drive to refuse though.
@@BeauoftheFifthColumn I wouldn't doubt if the draft comes back, seeing how the US dollar starting to be used less globally, and the US has a big ego.
@Marc Ruffalo ok boomer
@Marc Ruffalo If I wanted your opinion I would call your nursing home
Marc Ruffalo lol boomer is a state of mind bro, and you are the quintessential boomer.
capitalism kills hundreds of people per minute, please don’t spew propaganda about 100 million dead blablabla.
Perhaps your best message. Perhaps.
A-freaking-men Beau!! They knew suffering and, instead of placing blame, they sought to ease it. A lesson many have now forgotten.
Keep speaking truth to power
Love this video. Been arguing this point for years
