    I'm a British citizen living in the UK. There are social similar conditions that led to Brexit and the rise of the Boris Johnson. One key difference is that the cohesion provided by the Church in any form. Of course there are other differences but there are, perhaps, more similarities than differences. But that's not the point of my comment which is:
    This is an excellent analysis and I have learnt some new things about US society and how it works - it's always rewarding to understand more. And yes, the left needs to unite. Yes, the French managed to do this recently for one election but it will take more than this to save "us" from the rise of far Right politics - we have only seen first waves of migration that will follow economic and political instability that is heading our way and you simply can't build a wall around Europe.
    How, realistically will the left unite when they are, in the main part, economically and educationally privileged and this gives them the resources to "move on" if things don't go their way. They are independent. They do not need "community" to survive. How will they react when they realise that social justice will mean they will have to sacrifice their pensions to redistribute wealth?
    The left, which is in the main part now educationally and economically privileged must work to build grassroots supportive and community building connections with those who are less privileged i.e. those who have voted for far right leaders and agendas and are legitimately angry.
    Just perhaps, things will get bad enough for the left to realise it's "unity or face devastation" and "reach out" to the most vulnerable in society to offer meaningful help to meet both their material and social needs.

      Very well said and you won't here it said here;
      Because we as a society suffer from intellectual depravity. My father once said that during the war when we had very little we were keen and aware of every need and the needs of others. Now that we have more than any generation before us in the way of material, we grow fat, dumb, and stupid. With this comes destructive boredom. What happens now is by our own hands.

      What you are describing as 'the Left', to me sounds more like the Democratic Party. I have NO interest in uniting with the corrupt Democratic Party. The Left to me encompasses a very broad range of people fighting for justice, which includes many grassroots groups who represent people who are definitely NOT privileged. Also, the only people who are honestly talking about redistributing wealth to the impoverished are NOT the people who would reduce anyone's pension!! We have plenty in this country! We are awash in everything we need. We just don't control the distribution of it. No one in the working class needs to have a reduced standard of living if we had a just economy.

    Excellent summary of the psychological causes of American decline. The problem is that once an individual or community becomes dysfunctional a sick sort of attachment to their condition sets in where if they perceive that they have more to lose than to gain by becoming healthy they will remain unhealthy. Good luck with this one.

      You mean other than the female Vice President who picked a progressive running mate, and who recognizes the climate crisis, that healthcare is a human right, proposed tax deductions to new parents, proposed Medicare cover at home eldercare, believes in democracy, said "the way Israel does so matters," wasn't a felon, supports abortion, proposed tax increases for the rich, supports a ban on assault weapons, proposed funding for new homeowners, supports an increase in the min wage, opposes corporate price gouging, supports expanded Obamacare, supports expanded Social Security and Medicare, pro-union, supports paid family and medical leave, etc.
      But other than that, Trump had no competition. I mean, gee, they're really just the same, aren't they? Enjoy Trump then, let me know how that works out for you.

    Extraordinary analysis! Many of us have become aware of a kind of black-tape policy that we have tacitly agreed on over many topics. This is clearly a passive aggressive form towards freedom of speech and the need for debate, even if some proponent’s ideas are absurd, irrational, or discriminatory in nature. How should we create spaces for open discussion? Should they be profound or shallow? I belief we are falling “out” love in our solitude. Silenced by right and left

      People didn't hold them accountable for any results. Did you know that only one side of the ideological divide in politics assumes that people should understand reality and refer to it when they govern? It's called being a dialectical materialist. Guess which side in the USA is never, ever included in politics or government? And then stop referring to reality. It's not going to help.

    When You're Happy and You Know It, Set Life Free
    As We're Happy and We Know It, Anarchy

    Excuse me, but this seems to me to be great foolishness. An unnecessary complication to a very simple question. Over the last 4 years, costs have doubled. My rent has doubled. The cost of groceries has doubled. Pretty much all expenses have gone up by somewhere between 50 and 100%. This is true for pretty much everyone I know.
    Over the same time, my income has gone up less than 8%. So like everyone else, I am faced with trying to survive on what is effectively half the income that I had before COVID and bidenomics.
    Kamala Harris effectively promised no changes. Meanwhile she and Biden sent billions of our tax dollars to drag the world closer to World War III in Ukraine, and to continue the mass murder of children in Gaza. Under those circumstances, who WOULDN'T vote for a change?
    And I can't speak for anyone else particularly, but this whole idea of women as old fashioned slave housewives really dates you. That's not how things are anymore, and hasn't been for generations. I'm not saying there's perfect oarity between the sexes, but It has been more than 40 years since women's lib burst onto the scene. I don't know anyone who has a marriage such as you describe.

    I agree, I thought that just the other day-- That people are scared with so much instability around them (cultural and economic), and so they turn to authoritarians for seeming stability (little do they know...). But it doesn't just stem from personal histories with authoritarian parents, ministers or cultures... also the Old Testament God was a sh-tty authoritarian figure too, and much of the world prays to him. Which indicates he was only ever a figment of human minds needing safety.

    I watch virtually all of the Fraad/Wolff videos on this channel. And I find it tremendously disappointing that there was barely any kind of distinction made between Trump and Harris. Wolff repeatedly said things like, "they're pretty much the same." When in fact, they may be both on the spectrum of capitalism, but there are huge distinctions. Distinctions that will be made acutely over the next four years of this unfolding Trump nightmare. And then, only AFTER the election was over, did Wolff say that "it was a defeat." That should have been said before the election-- that Kamala would be more helpful to the left than Trump. And Fraad made only two passing suggestions that Kamala was better than Trump. But today she calls him "authoritarian" and ponders why he won.
    The leftist leaders create the left culture. And Democracy at Work only encouraged the idea that Trump and Kamala were the same, and thereby depressed the Democrats' vote. The left, including Fraad and especially Wolff, is to blame too.

      I wrote a number of times in my comments here and there that Trump was not just another neo-con grifter. This is a very dangerous demagogue, and just as the left in Germany equating the Social Democrats and the National Socialists in 1933 turned out to be a fatal error, this time too the failure of the left to unite against the Fascist may come to the same sad end. I’m sorry if I seem so despondent, but the future looks extremely bleak to me.

      To be fair, other leftist leaders were even worse; the blame for Trump's win falls on many leftists too:
      Nader only criticized Kamala for months up to the election. As soon as the election was over, he started criticizing Trump.
      Hedges thinks it's his moral crusade to not vote Kamala because of Gaza. But apparently it's not his moral crusade to protect all the innocent wildlife and nature of this planet from the widescale and massive destruction from the worsening and unchecked climate crisis, or women from dying because of lack of access to abortions, etc.
      Cornel West and Jill Stein stayed in the race til the end, even with the authoritarian, far-rightwing Trump looming large. (Just before the election, the EU Green Party said that Stein should drop out because the electoral margins were too close.)
      Democracy Now, where Juan Gonzalez was the only anchor to speak up and say we need to vote, even if we don't like Kamala much. But otherwise, Dem Now attacked Democrats/Biden/Kamala on Gaza for over a year for half of each Headlines. And she/they let Trump skirt by without much criticism.
      Briahna Joy Gray, Katie Halper and Jordan Chariton all highlighted how bad Kamala was, even as they said next to nothing about Trump. And some even encouraged a Green Party vote. (Versus TYT and Kyle Kulinski who are appreciated for supporting Kamala, even though she wasn't everything we want.)
      The pro-Palestine groups and the climate groups (Sunrise) who refused to endorse Kamala because she wasn't ideal, even as Trump was infinitely worse. (Climate Defiance gets kudos for "reluctantly endorsing Kamala," knowing she was better than Trump, and identifying that we were "choosing our opponent.")

      @@cev12 the significance of this election is far greater than any given candidate from the Democratic Party. The working class rejected the ruling class neoliberal austerity consensus since Reagan and Clinton. As former MP George Galloway put it, “[The U.S. working class] voted for the human Molotov Cocktail that is Donald Trump.” Some 15 million fewer voters selected Harris than Biden in 2020. A few million may have voted Trump and a few voted 3rd party due to the genocide in Gaza, but my estimate would be that the vast majority could not be motivated to vote for any candidate as the system has only made their lives more precarious over the past 20 to 40 plus years. Both major candidates and their parties represent eternal war and Wall Street profits for the ruling class.
      Even NYT columnist David Brooks about a week ago lamented that the Democratic Party should have supported Bernie Sanders in 2016 and 2020, even though he prefers the ruling class candidates.
      And even taking into consideration Harris’s antidemocratic anointment without a primary, Harris was an awful candidate who garnered no support in the 2020 presidential primary and has managed to develop zero strategic vision of her own for the country since as VP. She spent a billion dollars on celebrity endorsements that the working class couldn’t care less about and is now attempting to recoup its financial losses. This is not the sign of a campaign that addressed the serious legitimate grievances of the working class. Trump largely won by default. A Sanders type campaign would have obliterated Trump. Those former Democratic voters who voted for Trump were likely looking for something different, anything different, even if it triggered chaos, because the status quo ruling class consensus only means more pain for them and their families. Did you even listen to Dr. Farad here?

    I agree with those reasons but I unfortunately can’t help but see “gender equality” as an additional reason for the loss of family structure. “Women do you really wanna work? Ok then, now both the man and woman of the household can work! Have at it!” And capitalists can get away with this for the most part.

    • @matthewingerson
      @matthewingerson 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Capitalists raising prices without restriction was one of the reasons that women had to go into the labor force. Another reason that women had to go into the labor force was because Capitalists stifled the wages of men without restriction. Those two things, when coupled together, meant that in order to maintain a similar household-income, similar buying-power, and a similar standard-of-living, both men and women had to work. But if women want to work, they should be able to work.
      And as far as the "family structure" goes, those designs should be left up to the individual adults, or groups of adults, who choose to be in a family together.

    This is a good discussion. We need to start paying attention to the problems of American men, and stop denigrating them in either subtle or overt ways. It's true that many men in the wealthy and elite class abuse women, but the majority of us do NOT. We, as men, are not just utilities for the benefit of woman, who are often given a pass for their wrongdoing. We sometimes feel there is a double standard. Some may are may not agree, but 'sexism' can go both ways. The one alarming fact is that male suicide rate is as much as 4.5 times greater than that of women, as well as a much higher rate of homelessness and incarceration. I think we'd better find out why and address that because it indicates mental illness/ maladaption is at play here. Both male/female issues are equally important. By the way, I did not vote for Trump, who is an utter embarrassment to this country.

      That is what wealthy-class authoritarians, with the help of working-class dupes (like you) are who caused the problems with the Teamster's pension-fund.
      The wealthy-RWers connived & lied. They took the money out of the Teamsters pension-fund and moved it FROM a safe, savings-account system, TO a risky stock-market, ponzi-sceme system. The wealthy-RW stockholders made out like bandits, and the working-class laborers suffered.
      And working-class dupes, like you, supported the wealthy-RWers.
      The wealthy-RWers have been very successful at decimating education for working-class people. The wealthy-class has rendered so many working-class dupes, like you, into a condition of such ignorance, that you are incapable of comprehending the truth.
      You're so ignorant, you have been led to blame other working-class people for things they had no control over.
      If I were as dumb as you, I would wonder what else you're capable of doing to innocent working-class people -- but I'm not as dumb as you -- I already know exactly what you'll do when your wealthy-RW masters tell you to.
      You'll do ANYTHING that you're told to do, like a good, little working-class dupe. You're just like the working-class dupes who volunteered to be soldiers in the RW-Confedrate & RW-Nat-C militaries, both of which were funded by the wealthy-RWers.
      So, congratulations...🥳
