denisdrennan Actually what I meant to say is that the free market is good and important as long as it is properly regulated and combined with a strong wellfare state aka social democracy. No serious thinker calls for the free market to be erradicated, but corruption, automation and climate change are problems the free market won’t be able to solve on its own. We’re going to need a lot of social cooperation aka government to deal with those challenges.
@@assreductionist8575 most of corruption is due to government involvment lol. the pinnacle of corruption is bureaucrats and politicians dictating how people should live with their lives, while at the same time they are extortion people out of their money through the state. you are assuming that one needs a solution. how are bureaucrats and politicians, of all people, solve climate change? the problem is government, not the voluntary association of people through their free will. u europeans were mad at the jews before because they were better than u. u stole their thing and killed them as a thank you for making your lives easier with their services. socialism is no different. it's an evil ideology. so is it's little cancerous child called social democracy. i live in sweden and it is worse than living in a shariah state. the state is trying to regulate every single aspect of your life.
Don't be apathetic. Such powerful words. If you are apathetic to the changes around you, you are like a frog being boiled alive, not jumping out of the water.
He absolutely eviscerated Tucker Carlson and Fox News. Reduced Tucker to a stammering crybaby name-caller who couldn't combat what Bregman was saying (because it was all true). It was so, so pleasurable to watch.
Lou de Palingboer was a Dutch charismatic leader of a new religious movement. Despite the small number of followers, the Dutch media paid relatively much attention to this "cult leader". When he died on March 23, 1968, the followers attempted to bring him back to life by lying on him to keep him warm and also "Lou come back!" to call. He was buried after a few days. He's still buried.
he mentioned about the book he read paradise build in hell which is true in my country during covid coz ppl actually are trying to help each other alot.. our govt sucks atm but at least the ppl are trying to help each other more...
Life lessons from this idiot? This clown thinks billionaires exist only on the right. What about George Soros Rutger? How did left wing Obama become so rich? There are rich on the left and rich on the right you dope---the one thing they have in common--money, lots and lots of money. They are not going to pay 70-90% of their income for goofballs like him with their pie in the sky visions of people working a few hours a week while maintaining a thriving economy. Rutger's head is too far up his ass to support a functioning brain that needs oxygen.
Rutger Bergman wants all rich people to pay their fair share of tax, regardless of their political affiliations. I’m guessing you’re from the US, if you think Obama is left wing. Almost all of Obama’s policies were to satisfy the corporations (eg. bailing out the banks instead of taking them into public ownership when they had been paid for with taxpayer money). I doubt there are many left wing billionaires. You rarely get to that level of wealth if you care about your fellow citizens well being. The Overton window is way to the right in the US. This is not replicated in most countries around the world. In Europe, Obama would be seen as quite conservative, maybe a bit liberal (in US terms) on social issues to give the veneer of a leftie, but on economic matters he was quite conservative. It seems a reasonable desire for large corporations to pay their fair share of tax, when they pay almost no tax compared to a nurse,teacher or construction worker. The culture wars in the US serves to hide the many glaring deficiencies of the U.S. Why, for instance, of all developed countries, is healthcare in the U.S. the most expensive in the world and simultaneously has the worst outcomes with child mortality rising and life expectancy falling. Yet to encourage public healthcare is to risk being called a socialist (which I have yet to to see a U.S. citizen define accurately).
Rutger, from the land of the Dutch where they paid artists a guaranteed income to create art--pretty soon they had so much art, there was no place to display it, and had to put it in storage. THAT is what happens when you have clueless people like RUTGER BREGMAN having a brain fart and wasted taxpayers hard earned money. Jackasses like him love to waste other people's money! They have no concept of the laws of supply and demand therefore these IDIOTS paid people to produce something in excess of what the market demanded. Yet some here think this guy is smart. LOL
Rutger is definitely a man who is ahead of his time. I love his thinking.
I think its a lot of people like him that think alike including myself.
@denisdrennan LOL We've had "free markets" for most of the modern era. How's that working out?

@@Stanzafly No speech impediment just speaking with a Dutch accent as he's from The Netherlands.
“I don’t think I’m particularly smart...” 😳
Heerlijk, rationele uitspraken met een bijna sketch comedy nederlands accent, luf it 😁 keep speaking truths Rutger👍✌
