    It's very American to take an insult and use it as a label; heck take "Yankee" for example.

    Brady, you're the only TH-camr I don't mind making one thousand channels because across all of your channels, the quality is always superb. I watched at least 85% of all your videos on numberphile, periodicvideos, sixtysymbols and now, I'm going through all of this channel.
    I know you're already doing one on computers which is absolutely fantastic but might I suggest one on history? You would have a ton of things to do videos about so you'll never run out of ideas if you make one.

    "politically on the right" is a more confusing phrase than the word "conservative".

    Interesting topic. Great speaker. Gold star for you!
    Has Brady taken up an apprentice? It says in the description the video was made by Sean Riley. It seems like he's trying to emulate Brady's rather unique style of camera work during an interview, but the style is still quite a bit different.

    No problem with audio here with Firefox on Ubuntu 12.04. Great video. Keep them coming!

    The term "left" and "right" comes from England. They have a rectangular House of Parliament. At the left wall, the Labour MP's are seated, at the right side the Conservatives. Hence the terminology...

    Mine is on 30% and I hear it fine.
    Are you listening with a headset or speakers?

    I think this just proves wordsoftheworld should have a political science terminology playlist.
    It also needs to adjust for volume issues.

    Oh, we get USA news channels here too for some reason. It's not their bias that bugs me so much as it is the constant sound effects, like I'm watching a TV show.

    The reason both sides demonize each other might have to do with the group mentality modern bipartisan politics often exhibits. All political parties engage in regular accusations to try to make themselves seem better than their opponents, and each usually profits (via incumbency, economic affiliations, etc.) as a result. There are politicians who seek personal profit over their constituents' welfare in each party I think she was just pointing that out in mentioning a few specific names.

    Good video as usual, but it's way too quiet!

    strange, my volume is almost at minimum, and I can hear fine.

    Great content in the video but was it recorded in a library because she is speaking very very softly.

  • @cloj63
    @cloj63 11 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    interesting, always though the term neoconservatism was ironic; now I understand: thank you for the video!

    Really? I'm not having any issues with the volume.
    Maybe it's because I use headphones.

    Isn't this channel already mostly about history? :)

  • @paulwebsterantiques8321

    apologies, I get your meaning, I was trying to illustrate that on the global political spectrum, right and left are not a literal one side of the aisle or the other, but like a clock.. with the minute hand being on 1 minute past midnight being the FAR right, and 1 minute to midnight being the far left, that the 2 extremes in reality are not that far apart. but in a less extremist situation various political systems occupy varying time scales on that clock. R&L being used as relative positions.

    Ah, I keep forgetting the President would be elected in 1980 but isn't actually inaugurated till Jan '81.
    Still, Reagan was hardly against Carter's decision to Boycott, and of course Reagan's repeated confrontations with USSR. I don't see how he could have been any tougher on USSR short of actually declaring World War 3.

  • @awesomepowersheep
    @awesomepowersheep 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    USSR's fall was in 1991 not in 1989.

  • @DeoMachina
    @DeoMachina 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nope, and I don't think she said what you think she said. She said that the government essentially cherry-picked their information, which not even the GOP is likely to deny.
    If she was going to accuse him of lying, she'd have brought up the WMD thing.

  • @AnwarHahjJeffersonGeorge
    @AnwarHahjJeffersonGeorge 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm not quite sure that's what she's saying. She seems to be pointing out that people in the administration, namely Rumsfeld, tried to capitalize on the events politically by pointing out ties between Al Qaeda and Iraq. She never used the words falsify, or lie or anything similar to describe what went on, although others certainly have in the past. Have a good weekend. :)

  • @sageemerald7685
    @sageemerald7685 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yes and make it awesome interesting uncommon stuff. Really put some myths to rest.

  • @AnwarHahjJeffersonGeorge
    @AnwarHahjJeffersonGeorge 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    ...or more simply put, If both sides didn't demonize each other, they'd have a heck of a harder time convincing their adherents, many of whom are primarily yet rightfully concerned with their own personal life situations, to get politically motivated. You can easily research clear evidence of wrongdoing by certain individuals on each side, so it's hard to objectively prove that either party is actually less horrible, and the same goes for the UK and other countries :) OK take it easy.

  • @paulwebsterantiques8321
    @paulwebsterantiques8321 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sorry, but your assertions are not correct. I went on to explain in the conversation thread, that the political spectrum was better viewed as a clock, with far right being 1 min past 12, and far lest 1 min to 12 - not much between them. But if you want linear progression, this is a more correct model..... Communist (Satalinis) > Communist (Leninist) > Marxist > Socialist > Liberals > Conservatives > Fiscal Conservatives (GOP) > Tea Party > Taliban > Facist (Nazis)

  • @paulwebsterantiques8321

    Ok, I'll leave you with that thought, until a time when you can develop a clue as to what you are talking about.
    I'm all for constructive discourse, but I think I'd be better off striking up a conversation with a pot plant.
    And confusing a blinkered (and biased) view of present American politics is a fit all jacket for world politics and political science. 10 mins searching will find a dozen similarly nonsense 'quizzes' that will give a dozen different result based on the bias of the author

    No, it comes from France, these terms were invented during the revolution.

  • @GrimrDirge
    @GrimrDirge 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Exactly. "On the right" is a term devoid of use. It means many different things to different people in different places. It suffers from severe word inflation and needs to be dropped. It is particularly useless as an etymological teaching tool and has no place here.

  • @eagle17EIS
    @eagle17EIS 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    that's true, but in American mentality it feel in 1989 when it gave up Eastern Europa as a buffer-zone.
