Andrew Yang, can you make a video to teach us how to participate politically fully? Like a politics 101 for people who want to vote at every level??????
Get involved with your preferred local party. Show up to some meetings and they will eagerly guide you to important votes, mobilizations, and other events
This is a great and constructive conversation. This is the president we could have had, but America is clearly not ready for Yang. I hope that he can build up the Humanity Forward organization to where we can look to people being members of the group and vote them into office and force change across the board.
Boom Shakalaka I guess you’re one of those people who doesn’t appreciate complete sentences, or well thought out ideas based on compassion and data. 🤷🏻♀️
As Eastern European, I vote for your thought. Some deep feeling that the United States could change. I never was in the United States, but I was listening to 2pac from childhood. Understood, that in the United States is really deep problems with such racism and etc. Not understood till know from where it came from. Because as long as I know, most of the white people from Eastern Europe never was racist towards nothing...
14:45 "Good cops should welcome it too" YES! A Good Cop should feel utterly disgraced by the actions of cops like Chauvin and his enablers. Good Cops should be in the streets, hammering on the doors of legislators and their Governors, clamouring for mechanisms of oversight and accountability to restore confidence and trust in the forces on which they serve. There are professionals of integrity on these police forces who place themselves in harm's way to serve their communities. It is these professionals who must step up, be bold, and demand the dismantling of systems of protection for the dirtbags who shame their uniform and discredit the police.
I am someone who has a 'good cop' in my family. He loved being a cop because he loved helping people in times of crisis. In 40 years, he never fired his gun, for example. One story I think is important - he didnt talk about his job much. There was one shooting that one of his deputies was involved in. It was legit - this officer was approaching a car after a high speed chase , and this deputy saw through the window that there was a gun pointed at him. The officer shot and killed the person. If you are involved in a deadly shooting here, you are put on leave, seems like mostly for mental health reasons. My dad ran into this person at the gym while he was on leave. He basically just said "hey man, how are you doing?" This person responded with "I'm totally fine, why wouldn't I be?" I dont want to speak for my father, but the way he told that story is like that is when he lost faith in the next generation of cops. To my father, taking a life would severly hurt him. It didn't bother this new cop at all. I don't have an answer, but I do think this is some of what we are seeing today.
These first person shooter games like call of duty are breeding mindless soldiers who go with being a cop rather than enlisting. Then you have these kids who get picked on in high school who want nothing but revenge on their communities. We need to have strict guidelines for being a cop. It's time to change the way we create these domestic soldiers
The trillions of dollars plan to minority owned businesses is troublesome. Let's think pragmatically - we can't ignore the lower class white poor either. While I totally agree that minority groups need additional support, ignoring the white poor will drive them into the hands of the likes of Trump or worse. Let's focus on people who are disadvantaged, regardless of race based off objective criteria. This would help the minority community the most as they are the most oppressed, but you also help the minority of whites who are pretty much just as poor. (Trailer park south for example).
They don't like it because it's being specially called out to help black people indeed in some cases. That's why I suggest targeting the problems people in the black community suffer from (high unemployment, inter generational poverty, lower access to healthcare, poor social mobility). Indirectly you help that community to most, but it's done equally across racial grounds based on objectives criteria. The second you start talking about billions of dollars to support black people individually you push millions of voters toward Trump. It's a huge tactical misstep if we want to help the black community & avoid the likes of Trump in the future. We have to understand the opposition, we need to calculate what will and will not achieve the goals we have.
speaking of our country falling apart, the dam in Michigan just collapsed. Bridges have been collapsing. I've lived in Cleveland, Detroit, Charleston, and Washington DC and there is NO city that is not crumbling.
Fantastic discussion! On the topic of the census, let's get Tom Steyer to pump out some ads targeted at different communities with how vital it is for their communities like he did with Rock the Vote.
the world has showed us they support us. lets do our part to support all black communities. participate in government to change the culture. do not be afraid, know that all of this will lead to what we seek. everything we want is behind fear. power to the people. this conversation is to short..
Once you hear Yang gasp after each sentence, you can't get it out of your head. Violence is the main problem, if there wasn't so much violence we wouldn't need the police that much...
One solution not mentioned. Right now citizens pay for police misconduct settlements in reduced services because the city pays and therefore has less money for services. Make cops pay to clean up their own messes. Take payouts out of police pension funds so the cops are incentivized to police themselves
Two great individuals. The new structure of governing the country must be created. Even one president don't need anymore. Should emerge the collective mind of presidency.
The "if you want to lynch me then that's your problem but if you have the power to lynch me then that's my problem" really resonated with me. Every race has biases towards others. But when that bias turns into violence, that's when you've crossed the line. So I'm ok with white supremacists clubs existing ("that's their problem") as long as it does not turn into violence (then it becomes "that's my problem").
ACO level Census Worker, IT Support. This comment is not an official statement from the Census nor am I claiming to speak for the Fed Gov, DOC, or Census. The Census has been fairly digitized in the online forum. I am locally seeing low work loads for field staff due to what I speculate is high online responses with the mailed code that people fill out online. It might be that we haven't hit peak field operations due to the chaos.
Seems like universal basic income is a much more equal and, frankly, universal (sorry) helper than a specific plan that picks and chooses different kinds of people to benefit. Building infrastructure is a great idea. The way and the type of infrastructure that is suggested here seems to have significant challenges and what I mean by specific challenges is not practical to build at all. There are reasons that we don't have high speed rail and they are the same types of reasons why we don't have lots more oil pipelines and such: the NIMBY's - trying to get all of the legal rights of way to build something through hundreds of thousands if not more of properties and municipalities is a logistical and practical nightmare. It's much, much, much easier, safer, faster, and cheaper just to go with something like the Boring Company. That will be orders of magnitude less expensive and also more useful in the end. There are several reasons why people don't use public transportation. One of them is because there are disgusting and gross people that use them and nobody wants to sit next to somebody who's all meth'd out or so drunk they are pissing and s******* themselves, or sick, or whatever, But also because you have to travel to get to the pickup location and travel from the drop-off location. Things like Boring tunnels will be much more point-to-point and much more individualized so there is generally speaking less risk and more utility with that type of a system. Plus, there are exactly zero issues with all of the rights of way for building on, through, or over different properties as the boring company drills underground and you don't run into nearly as many legal and logistical issues by boring tunnels underground. I agree that infrastructure is important and has a lot of very practical benefits but I think there are better ways to get it accomplished. On the topic of 5G: Yes, it is critically important but again we have Elon Musk working on infrastructure for a global Internet and he's not out to be making money on that sort of thing so it seems like it may be a colossal waste of money to invest in 5G when somebody else is going to do it for minimal cost and offer it to literally the entire planet. We could use the money we would spend on high-speed rail to go towards a universal basic income and after a year or two everybody will just be able to buy a car with their universal basic income. It's much more efficient to not build high-speed rail that it is to build high-speed rail. Maybe, and only maybe, would it be more efficient to build high speed rail if our country were a blank canvas and we were starting from scratch and nobody owned any of the land. Thanks for the interview. Always enjoy these.
who knows, what that ensued could have been avoided, to a some degree to say the least. the ubi amounts of money could prevent more tragedies than the money value. God bless America. love, hope and respect from hongkong.
Hi Andrew please get on Dan Price of Gravity Payments, he believes in your human centered capitalism where he offers 70k to all employees despite status, as well as Lex Fridman, the go to guy on AI
Right on! We lack empathy in this country. It’s the root of hatred and racism. When people develop the skill of empathy they have compassion and are inspired to help others.
These are the practical steps that need to be done: Mr. Bakari Sellers understands perfectly what needs to be done. I love the practical, pro-active, intelligent solutions to the problem Yang and Sellers outline. If only we had these two guys at the national level representing us in DC.
As eastern european I have to say, that the United States must refresh them self from all that mess in what they are now... Why people can't love each other anymore? Black people felt the suffer decades as american native people did even longer. I don't understand what kind of entities these white anglo american became so racist decades or centuries ago, what is the issue it is absolutely not understandable... From the child hood I was thinking from where it coming this hatred towards different people...
Bakari! 🥰 he’s one of the very best. Heart and great ideas for making life better in SC. It would be great of he were SC govenor. That would sooo get my vote! And no matter what happens with the presidential race, Andrew should be in the White House and all over DC being the people’s lobbyist. We need a powerful one. Humanity Forward is doing great things! Keeping We the People on the Agenda. Yes!
incestuous... that is a great description for the officers and lawyers. There is such an inter-dependency on each other that they will not hurt the other. Yang was right to say we MUST have an independent party that does not benefit from or to the other parties. They need to be completely isolated where they can investigate and prosecute with no concern of impact.
"The officers will just say that they are scared". In general, the officers are scared, because any Tom, Dick or Harry are allowed to carry guns in public. This problem in the US is deep rooted (like all societal problems) with many contributing variables. I don't see how this problem can be solved without also addressing other contributing factors. I know that Yang sees the big picture and realizes the key contributing variables, but how does he explain this great depth to the people and politicians where they can understand, thus realize that much more needs to be addressed concurrently. To fix the cops, you must also help the cops. A gun toting public will always corrupt the cops. The key is to alleviate fear in America, because it is most often at the heart of all societal problems.
Thanks!! I am going to read your book, Mr. Sellers. I am grateful for you two progressives. We do need more radical revolutionaries. If we have no love or empathy for others then we are just noise!!!
UBI would allow cops to choose better behavior when they're jobs will normally feel threatened if they speak up. A UBI would help all people in law to feel more secure.
I'm seeing different stats when it comes to which race is shot more The stats I see show whites are shot more Can anyone link the counter stats discussed in this podcast cause I've yet to find them.
@@elmo860 hmm interesting I honestly dont know I always thought it was the other way around. Mayne depends on how you look at the data regardless some changes wouldnt hurt
I have so much respect for you, Andrew Yang, but I miss the times when your talks were "Facts are this, so we need this." Instead of "Facts support this, so we should do this."
Yang stole Zoltan itsvans platform verbatim. He doesn’t care about people, he just wants power. “The near-term socioeconomic forecasts are pretty startling when you look closely at them. The Washington Post recently ran an essay pointing out that 3.5 million truck drivers are poised to lose their jobs when the trucking industry becomes driverless (which could start happening in about five years, I believe). The trucking industry is just one of hundreds of sectors that could become significantly automated within a decade.” - Zoltan Itsvan in 2015. Yang stole his ideas and even Zoltan’s example of truck drivers being heavily impacted by automation. Yang doesn’t care about humanity, he’s just using UBI to make money - just because humanity forward is a non-profit doesn’t mean that he’s not getting paid a salary for it. Yang also made a killing off his books during his run. Everything he does is self-serving - he didn’t support AOC during her election or walk with BLM protestors because that wouldn’t generate revenue for him, yet he claims to be a progressive candidate and cares about humanity. Yang gang is a cult, and several Asian members (I’m Asian btw) have told me that they only supported Yang because he’s asian, so there is a theme of Asian supremacy also. Yang will never become president, this is a fact, and he’s using his run and humanity forward for financial gain.
I think it is the whole policing model that is not functional and outdated. Police have to lay off individuals in general and shift their attention to corporate crimes.
@@dahliaherrod4301 I agree in principle, but so many laws are so savagely unfair and predatory, and as a matter of principle, individuals should be free, unless they are so chaotic that they can't interact with others like decent human beings... However corporate entities A) Have way way way more capacity for evil than even the most savage criminal on earth, and B) Because corporate entities are a lot easier to police; even when crimes are committed, the vast majority of workers are not in on it and want nothing to do with it, so they will collaborate when issues arise.
Ok, maybe this is more doable than the defunding push. However, what is put in place to protect this regulatory body from egregious capture like so many others?
"As democrats, we legislate with a stop sign. We don't go big enough, we don't go bold enough, we don't go progressive enough." THIS, is EXACTLY why I stopped voting for democrats (moderate republicans by another name). Obomba had 8 years to make PROGRESS on this issue and did NOTHING. That's why, as a real liberal progressive, I vote GREEN. Wish Yang would Unsuspend as the Green Nom, that would make some waves, but I understand the FEAR of voting third party, it's why we need Rank Choice Voting. Still not voting for Biden (who is directly responsible for a lot of the "Tough on Crime" laws that disproportionately incarcerate POC) or orange guy. Yang, you're our only hope (Or Howie Hawkins, but I'd rather have Yang. . FYI, YANG GANG, The Green Party Platform supports UBI, so.......
There’s some data that says that the police brutality problem is equal among race (which isn’t evidence to not provide cameras and de escalation training to all police) but when the black community gets stopped at higher rates that equals out at proportionally speaking more black people dying at the hands of the police. The data also says that black and white people smoke weed at the same rates but black people go to jail for it at higher rates.
Andrew is a bit tone deaf when it comes to race... I’ve noticed that... it’s cringey at times. Please learn about history and listen to Robin di Angelo. I’m yang gang and I love him but he’s gotta grow in this area. He needs to learn to speak more empathetically with humility when people are dying. In Asian American as well by the way, and I think my people could learn a lot about the history of this country.
i would very much like to listen to this. i'm sure there are great ideas and commentary here. at round 27min i had to turn it off. couldn't listen to wet smacking sound. please adjust your sound. i want to here you and your words. not your tongue and lips smacking. of what i was able to listen to, everything else was great.
I expect better and more critical thinking from Andrew Yang if he thinks he is presidential material. In this interview he serves up woke softball platitudes and rolls over on so much of what Sellers is offering. You're too nice and agreeable, Andrew. How 'bout challenging your guests' first principles from time to time?
Here's something radical, which I wouldn't have to suggest to many other nations. Melt the guns. Every one of them. Change the amendment. (after all, it's just an amendment) to remove the right to own and bear arms, of any kind. Remove the guns from police too, except for special operations. Close down the retail gun industry and wind up the shops. Change the trigger happy culture. There. I said it was radical. But most other countries work fine without guns. And that helps to foster a greater respect for humans from all walks of life. Can't be done?
I would love it if I can just get rid of all the guns and future guns in the world, but that isn't our current reality. Although I admire your radical idea, it would require a massive paradigm shift which I'm not saying is impossible but very difficult. Banning any sort of commodity or weapon just gives the power to those who refuse to give in while everyone else try to be law abiding citizens just to get screwed in the end.
i predict that IF this happens, fewer lives would be lost to gun violence. In order for this to happen however the weapons owned illegally would also have to be found and confiscated. An example of why this is so difficult is because i know someone personally right now with an entire shipping container FULL of weapons. Automatic weapons. All kinds of weapons and magazines and ammo and all that stuff. He is also former military. How do we deal with THAT. automatics have been illegal for some time now and yet this guy owns so many of them. He is non violent and uses them in discretion. If we cant remove automatics from society effectively, how can we remove all guns from society.
@@Penname25 it'd be easier to clamp down on illegal weapons if the USA didn't also contribute so much to the international weapons market (the official on-paper exports alone account for over 50% of international arms trade). Other western countries where weapons restrictions are meaningfully enforced still have illegal weapons - but they're much, much more expensive to get, you need the right connections to get them, and it isn't a trivial matter to get them. So even if the legal restrictions didn't stop you, there's far more other restrictions of avaliability to you personally that would prevent you getting it, just because it's on the black market doesn't mean just anyone anywhere can buy it. And if you use it without careful regard or consideration you won't just be running from the law, but also from whoever your sources are who got you that weapon are probably going to be after you too for drawing the wrong sort of attention to their part of the world. So the homicide rates with illegal firearms exist, but compared to the USA they're truly negligible.
Would probably be less of deadly to bioengineer a new passive race of humans with crispr, dump a psychological wonder drug like Soma in the water supply, and for those who fall through the cracks just get Google to charge them with pre-crime & send out judge dredd to deal with them.
Bakari Sellers, victimology at its finest. Don‘t be fooled by the suit and eloquence; his ideas and interpretation of the black experience are truly unsophisticated.

I hope that he can build up the Humanity Forward organization to where we can look to people being members of the group and vote them into office and force change across the board.
He has a dumbfuck and has no idea what he's doing. There's a reason he got almost no votes in the primary.

That was a great convo. So much to unpack and appreciate, I really enjoyed this conversation.
People are tired of being suppressed.
Absolutely, and when they're unhappy and the government doesn't seem to care, it's hard to blame them for everything going on right now
I am so reassured that there are people like these guys thinking about these deep, stubborn problems.
Thank you both young men for your wonderful dialog on ONE of America's many problems. God bless you and your families!!!!!!
This chaos would not happen if all Americans are receiving UBI years ago.
Amen. MLK would approve.

From the child hood I was thinking from where it coming this hatred towards different people...

Wow, Yang actually reads the books of the people he invites to his podcasts! : O
Bakari! 🥰 he’s one of the very best. Heart and great ideas for making life better in SC. It would be great of he were SC govenor. That would sooo get my vote! And no matter what happens with the presidential race, Andrew should be in the White House and all over DC being the people’s lobbyist. We need a powerful one. Humanity Forward is doing great things! Keeping We the People on the Agenda. Yes!
Andrew Yang for America 🇺🇸🧢🇺🇸🧢. Humanity Forward ❤️ We need to do better
incestuous... that is a great description for the officers and lawyers. There is such an inter-dependency on each other that they will not hurt the other. Yang was right to say we MUST have an independent party that does not benefit from or to the other parties. They need to be completely isolated where they can investigate and prosecute with no concern of impact.
"The officers will just say that they are scared". In general, the officers are scared, because any Tom, Dick or Harry are allowed to carry guns in public. This problem in the US is deep rooted (like all societal problems) with many contributing variables. I don't see how this problem can be solved without also addressing other contributing factors. I know that Yang sees the big picture and realizes the key contributing variables, but how does he explain this great depth to the people and politicians where they can understand, thus realize that much more needs to be addressed concurrently. To fix the cops, you must also help the cops. A gun toting public will always corrupt the cops. The key is to alleviate fear in America, because it is most often at the heart of all societal problems.
Thanks!! I am going to read your book, Mr. Sellers. I am grateful for you two progressives. We do need more radical revolutionaries. If we have no love or empathy for others then we are just noise!!!
I talked to my African American friends who didn't pay attention to Yang, I hope more African American watched this.
It’s funny how few subscribers this channel has when so many people were banging on about being in the yang gang. Where are they all?
that's true. althou i think the number of views is more important.
The last 3 trillion lacked accountability .
Love the idea of government spending trillions for Infrastructure. UBI plus jobs. Trust that good will come from all of this.
The police don't pay, the city pays & union pays unless there is a personal civil lawsuit.
UBI would allow cops to choose better behavior when they're jobs will normally feel threatened if they speak up. A UBI would help all people in law to feel more secure.
I'm seeing different stats when it comes to which race is shot more
The stats I see show whites are shot more
Can anyone link the counter stats discussed in this podcast cause I've yet to find them.
Are you talking proportionally or...? There are far more white people in the us than blacks
@@eg4848 yes proportionately as fbi crime stats suggests
@@elmo860 hmm interesting I honestly dont know I always thought it was the other way around. Mayne depends on how you look at the data regardless some changes wouldnt hurt
I have so much respect for you, Andrew Yang, but I miss the times when your talks were "Facts are this, so we need this." Instead of "Facts support this, so we should do this."
Yang stole Zoltan itsvans platform verbatim. He doesn’t care about people, he just wants power. “The near-term socioeconomic forecasts are pretty startling when you look closely at them. The Washington Post recently ran an essay pointing out that 3.5 million truck drivers are poised to lose their jobs when the trucking industry becomes driverless (which could start happening in about five years, I believe). The trucking industry is just one of hundreds of sectors that could become significantly automated within a decade.” - Zoltan Itsvan in 2015. Yang stole his ideas and even Zoltan’s example of truck drivers being heavily impacted by automation. Yang doesn’t care about humanity, he’s just using UBI to make money - just because humanity forward is a non-profit doesn’t mean that he’s not getting paid a salary for it. Yang also made a killing off his books during his run. Everything he does is self-serving - he didn’t support AOC during her election or walk with BLM protestors because that wouldn’t generate revenue for him, yet he claims to be a progressive candidate and cares about humanity. Yang gang is a cult, and several Asian members (I’m Asian btw) have told me that they only supported Yang because he’s asian, so there is a theme of Asian supremacy also. Yang will never become president, this is a fact, and he’s using his run and humanity forward for financial gain.
I think it is the whole policing model that is not functional and outdated.
Police have to lay off individuals in general and shift their attention to corporate crimes.
Why can't we do both? It's all crime.
@@dahliaherrod4301 I agree in principle, but so many laws are so savagely unfair and predatory, and as a matter of principle, individuals should be free, unless they are so chaotic that they can't interact with others like decent human beings... However corporate entities A) Have way way way more capacity for evil than even the most savage criminal on earth, and B) Because corporate entities are a lot easier to police; even when crimes are committed, the vast majority of workers are not in on it and want nothing to do with it, so they will collaborate when issues arise.
I wanna see Bakari and Ben Shapiro have a conversation.
Please run as an independent in light of being blacked out well into the start of the current uproarious (for the good!) US environment!!!
Ok, maybe this is more doable than the defunding push. However, what is put in place to protect this regulatory body from egregious capture like so many others?
We don't need to beat our children
@NetMage11 it causes people to be more violent
@NetMage11 k
First three seconds and the word incest appears.
Andrew = data+ solution + empathy-based+ unity > family man > real kind human being > love heals > America will be America again
Propose a quota to the police-police and see the view on quotas change overnight.
"As democrats, we legislate with a stop sign. We don't go big enough, we don't go bold enough, we don't go progressive enough."
THIS, is EXACTLY why I stopped voting for democrats (moderate republicans by another name). Obomba had 8 years to make PROGRESS on this issue and did NOTHING. That's why, as a real liberal progressive, I vote GREEN. Wish Yang would Unsuspend as the Green Nom, that would make some waves, but I understand the FEAR of voting third party, it's why we need Rank Choice Voting. Still not voting for Biden (who is directly responsible for a lot of the "Tough on Crime" laws that disproportionately incarcerate POC) or orange guy. Yang, you're our only hope (Or Howie Hawkins, but I'd rather have Yang.
.
FYI, YANG GANG, The Green Party Platform supports UBI, so.......
I’ve yet to see hard data that police brutality is a widespread problem disproportionately affecting the black community. Anyone care to provide some?
Monstar_2113 There’s been tons of data, surprised you’re skeptical. Check out Hasan Minhaj’s segment on the broken Policing system about 8 months ago.
There’s some data that says that the police brutality problem is equal among race (which isn’t evidence to not provide cameras and de escalation training to all police) but when the black community gets stopped at higher rates that equals out at proportionally speaking more black people dying at the hands of the police. The data also says that black and white people smoke weed at the same rates but black people go to jail for it at higher rates.
This does a good job of outlining it:

Andrew is a bit tone deaf when it comes to race... I’ve noticed that... it’s cringey at times. Please learn about history and listen to Robin di Angelo. I’m yang gang and I love him but he’s gotta grow in this area. He needs to learn to speak more empathetically with humility when people are dying. In Asian American as well by the way, and I think my people could learn a lot about the history of this country.
Didn't this guy shit on Andrew during the debates? Why is he acting like he always liked Andrew?
i would very much like to listen to this. i'm sure there are great ideas and commentary here. at round 27min i had to turn it off. couldn't listen to wet smacking sound. please adjust your sound. i want to here you and your words. not your tongue and lips smacking. of what i was able to listen to, everything else was great.
Solutions.

Can you please change the format? This hasn't been working.
For who?
This is not for entertainment purposes. It's only for educational.
What? This podcast has been great
What format do you purpose?
I like Andrew but I wish he'd stop saying fuck. Not very presidential.
tbh I really disagree with bakari on having "race specific" policies, but I do agree with most of the other things in the podcast
I expect better and more critical thinking from Andrew Yang if he thinks he is presidential material. In this interview he serves up woke softball platitudes and rolls over on so much of what Sellers is offering. You're too nice and agreeable, Andrew. How 'bout challenging your guests' first principles from time to time?
Sigh. You are woke too.
Unsuspend T_T
Here's something radical, which I wouldn't have to suggest to many other nations. Melt the guns. Every one of them. Change the amendment. (after all, it's just an amendment) to remove the right to own and bear arms, of any kind. Remove the guns from police too, except for special operations. Close down the retail gun industry and wind up the shops. Change the trigger happy culture.
There. I said it was radical. But most other countries work fine without guns. And that helps to foster a greater respect for humans from all walks of life.
Can't be done?
What about illegally owned weapons?
I would love it if I can just get rid of all the guns and future guns in the world, but that isn't our current reality. Although I admire your radical idea, it would require a massive paradigm shift which I'm not saying is impossible but very difficult.
Banning any sort of commodity or weapon just gives the power to those who refuse to give in while everyone else try to be law abiding citizens just to get screwed in the end.
i predict that IF this happens, fewer lives would be lost to gun violence. In order for this to happen however the weapons owned illegally would also have to be found and confiscated. An example of why this is so difficult is because i know someone personally right now with an entire shipping container FULL of weapons. Automatic weapons. All kinds of weapons and magazines and ammo and all that stuff. He is also former military. How do we deal with THAT. automatics have been illegal for some time now and yet this guy owns so many of them. He is non violent and uses them in discretion. If we cant remove automatics from society effectively, how can we remove all guns from society.
@@Penname25 it'd be easier to clamp down on illegal weapons if the USA didn't also contribute so much to the international weapons market (the official on-paper exports alone account for over 50% of international arms trade).
Other western countries where weapons restrictions are meaningfully enforced still have illegal weapons - but they're much, much more expensive to get, you need the right connections to get them, and it isn't a trivial matter to get them. So even if the legal restrictions didn't stop you, there's far more other restrictions of avaliability to you personally that would prevent you getting it, just because it's on the black market doesn't mean just anyone anywhere can buy it.
And if you use it without careful regard or consideration you won't just be running from the law, but also from whoever your sources are who got you that weapon are probably going to be after you too for drawing the wrong sort of attention to their part of the world. So the homicide rates with illegal firearms exist, but compared to the USA they're truly negligible.
Would probably be less of deadly to bioengineer a new passive race of humans with crispr, dump a psychological wonder drug like Soma in the water supply, and for those who fall through the cracks just get Google to charge them with pre-crime & send out judge dredd to deal with them.
Bakari Sellers, victimology at its finest. Don‘t be fooled by the suit and eloquence; his ideas and interpretation of the black experience are truly unsophisticated.
