Good. Concentrate the intelligent people on the coastal regions and the morons in the landlocked middle. Makes blockading food, electricity, internet, and medical supplies very very easy. The south will be crushed like bugs when they try to rise again.
That makes me sad to hear! I live in Texas and have been hoping to help turn the state blue for a while now. Our metro areas like Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and the Valley are already mostly democratic.

The United States is undergoing the exact same deindustrialization/dedevelopment that happened to the Eastern Block after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, when the Oligarchy rose to power and took over everything. With this increase in billionaires around the world, comes an increase in poverty, an increase in austerity, and as a result the destruction of community and everyone only looking out for themselves for survival.
And the mainstream media here are acting on behalf of those people at the top in ensuring that citizens are so divided that they’re unable to fight back against those very people at the top, for whom creeping, insidious authoritarianism and control of the masses is the ultimate goal.

So agree w/ Anand and have felt that we have been "devolving" from civil goodwill, from human empathy, from the hopeful correctness of Anne Frank's famous saying that she, "in spite of everything, I still believe that people are good at heart."
I think the "brains addled...by Fox News" concept Giridharadas leaves out is Scarborough's point that moneyed interests played a huge role in accumulating political and financial power. They monetized telling people to fear and hate.
And people with low or no higher education have lack of critical thinking skills which allows them to be more easily manipulated by elites wanting more money more power and more prestige.
Just the other day I remember telling my friend that the radicalization that has occurred in America is probably the biggest psyops operation in modern times. This is the type of stuff you see in North Korea where people are completely detached from reality or anything meaningful. The elites and rulers that have planned this should be held to account.

Door #2 --- I could Trust people until they gave me a reason not to trust Them. But once my Trust is Lost... I don't give it back to That person... or at least not easily... I thought that Door #1 was tiring, stressful, sucked joy from life, and kept me from getting to know a lot of fine people... So I chose Door #2... Seems like a lot of people want us to choose Door #1... I suppose you can sell a lot of guns to people that way... Don't you think... Ask me if I own a gun... I bet you already know the answer...

There are multiple threads between those stories. Most obviously you have people who are frightened, who are armed and who all decided to ask questions later. Fear, access to a deadly weapon, and poor decision making in times of stress… and/or perhaps the lack of concern of any repercussions, all significantly contributed to every one of these tragedies.
good try but it is an indicator of general society problems also, I suspect one factor is too much medication, particularly medications that affect the mind, big pharm in my opinion is a hero and villain at same time, that is the way it is

We have failed as a Nation to address the evils and tragedies of our past, in the United States. The United States has always failed to put the value of a human life as the most important factor for our society. We have claimed to be a Christian Nation all while living wickedly as if we had no knowledge of Jesus Christ. The love of money, has been our god and people have just been pieces on the field of play. We chose to ignore our own history of failure and thus many care only for themselves and no one else. We don’t want to talk about slavery because it makes us look bad and we don’t want to talk about civil rights because makes us look bad. So, most of our children don’t know the truth and have no desire to learn anything other than what they have chosen to believe; a lie. In the end, the only life that matters is one’s own life and no other. That’s on us.

Unfortunately, America was born out of distrust. While we've been moving to a better place, the fabric of our society has been unravel for decades. Decades! Fox, Newt, Republicans, have been the impetus for this fear. This is nothing new to citizens of developed and industrialized nations. Europeans, Canadians don't live with this kind of fear around every corner attitude. Can't speak much for Japan, Australia, or NZ, but none of people I have come into contact with from those countries seem to be weary of their fellow countrywomen/men, nor their government. It's not like these societies are not conservative, as is the case with Japan, or not capitalist. There is something really different going on here in the US. This is what American exceptionalism is starting to look like around the world.

Hey Joe, do you and your fellow GOPers want to take any blame for this? This has been a slow burn, a burn you were a part of. May be not the explosion, but you were part of the burn.
The foundation of society used to be the nuclear family, coupled with values, respect for authority, work ethic, education and church. All long gone ... 🔥
Those things became a part of our society for such a short period (especially the nuclear family) that I don't really think they are that important. We did fine efore the mid 20th century
Why do you suppose this has occurred? Nuclear families imploded once people, primarily women, recognized that remaining in unhealthy abusive homes while pretending life was perfect was no longer sustainable. Old society norms, many still exist, painted women in a negative light for leaving their circumstance because it no longer fit the American fantasy of a nuclear family. Many women also realized there are options to creating a family while obtaining a career that contributes to society. “Authority” has displayed a lack of integrity that does not always warrant respect. Work ethic has fortunately changed in that people have begun to recognize their work and their ethic is primarily meant to serve them and their family. Not the low paying capitalists who have shown indifference to their work forces by refusing to pay a living wage, blocking unions, and mass layoffs via Zoom. Education is being targeted by people who want to rewrite history, ban books and limit educational exposure to anything that does not fit their agenda. Church has become politicized with many so called “Christians” bastardizing the Bible to use as a weapon of hate. You are right, things have changed and fortunately so. However, the change you find discouraging is the reaction to establishments that have not served society well.

There are multiple threads between those stories. Most obviously you have people who are frightened, who are armed and who all decided to ask questions later. Fear, access to a deadly weapon, and poor decision making in times of stress… and/or perhaps the lack of concern of any repercussions, all significantly contributed to every one of these tragedies.
good try but it is an indicator of general society problems also, I suspect one factor is too much medication, particularly medications that affect the mind, big pharm in my opinion is a hero and villain at same time, that is the way it is
Growing up in the late 50`s - 80's . We had a simple lock , not a deadbolt , on the front door . most of the time it was unlocked , even at night . No guns , never needed any . There was Trust in the Goodness of People .
Absolutely on point.
"Fox News is taking a jackhammer to the fabric of American Society to make money." I clicked to hear pearls like this from Anand, a thoughtful writer and speaker. Would have liked to hear more if Joe S. (the, um, interviewer) had taken up less of the guest's time.
Yes, Joe does have a tendancy to overdo.
Paranoia by design. The oligarchs’ playbook. The Republikkklan’s feeding trough. Thanks Chief Justice Roberts! You’ve served your financial overlords- oh I’m sorry, your private hospitality hosts- so well!
Demgurgitator
Republicans weren’t KKK it was founded by Democrats , Republican party was founded as an anti slavery party
Thanks to traitor Joe for cancelling Medicaid for millions yet everything is free for his illegals
Morning Joe nailed it and that bell needs to be rung as we go off the cliff-
It is time for us to organize and bring Fox News down. There's no other way.
Ma'am this is a propaganda network
In Saskatchewan, Canada, Colten Boushie was murdered by a farmer (Gerald Stanley) who did the same thing Kaylin's killer did, and the murderer got off on a screwy defence.
Thank you, "Morning Joe" for having Anand on the show. I love his wise perspectives!
We have failed as a Nation to address the evils and tragedies of our past, in the United States. The United States has always failed to put the value of a human life as the most important factor for our society. We have claimed to be a Christian Nation all while living wickedly as if we had no knowledge of Jesus Christ. The love of money, has been our god and people have just been pieces on the field of play. We chose to ignore our own history of failure and thus many care only for themselves and no one else. We don’t want to talk about slavery because it makes us look bad and we don’t want to talk about civil rights because makes us look bad. So, most of our children don’t know the truth and have no desire to learn anything other than what they have chosen to believe; a lie. In the end, the only life that matters is one’s own life and no other. That’s on us.
I couldn't agree more. Thanks for saying it.
And the 2 cheerleaders who were shot for getting into the wrong car
So ahead of time, so wise. Nice to see that Joe and Anand agree. Can remember years ago Joe didn't. Love the conversation.
This is exactly how I feel right now. I'm scared to go to the grocery store. Always lookin over my shoulder. I'm overprotective with my son. List goes on and on.
Always great to hear what Anand has to say.
Joe...LET YOUR GUESTS TALK!!!
One of my favorite books in the world, at present, is "Winners Take All". I love listening to Anand talk, you know, that is when he is given the ability to...
2:35 to 6:12 is approximately the span of today's rant.
Thank you kindly..
Would be good if TH-cam build “Skip Joe” function
I fast forwarded through Joe's input because... I don't care what he had to say. I'm here for Anand's take.
No, we are not de-developing, we are redeveloping. Stuff has to be destroyed before it can be reimagined and rebuilt.
A big chunk of the US population are becoming sadists. The pain and suffering of their fellow man bring them joy and satisfaction. This ia a problem.
I agree with Ana’s findings, adn we must take in this information and “must” develop contravening forces, We must join the group of your choice to build and restore trust in humanity, My personal choice is I am a member of SGI , Nicherin buddhism which not only teaches , but helps us “enact" trust in our fellow humans, in fact we “are" all totally interconnected. This intterconnectivity is our key and our future….nmhrk
I really enjoy listening to Anand. He brings up points that I would never have thought of.
Only in the USA
Anand is the only reason i click on to view this clip
Unfortunately, America was born out of distrust. While we've been moving to a better place, the fabric of our society has been unravel for decades. Decades! Fox, Newt, Republicans, have been the impetus for this fear.
This is nothing new to citizens of developed and industrialized nations. Europeans, Canadians don't live with this kind of fear around every corner attitude. Can't speak much for Japan, Australia, or NZ, but none of people I have come into contact with from those countries seem to be weary of their fellow countrywomen/men, nor their government. It's not like these societies are not conservative, as is the case with Japan, or not capitalist. There is something really different going on here in the US. This is what American exceptionalism is starting to look like around the world.
Thank you for standing up and speaking the truth. 👍
Good to see our Social Implosion being addressed by a BRIGHT mind.
Bright mind , where? Definitely isn't cartel Biden, the great divider and chief
So now that message needs to be spread to all who are willing to listen. How can he get it out to every street corner!
Bright mind? A man who would hire a babysitter off the internet :) Ask yourself the question. Anyone doesn't ask your permission to enter your property or even to retrieve a ball. Depends your neighbourhood, perhaps some leafy suburb like you live is 'OK'. But, spend a night in a motel in the neighbourhoods discussed and come back to us fool.
Yes, SO WHO IS GOING TO HELP US GET OUT OF THIS DOWNWARD SPIRAL?? ANYONE?? IT DOESN"T SEEM LIKE IT.
Facts!💪🏿
✊🏿🤡
Excellence In Broadcasting + Silence No More
I love hearing Joe yell about republicans because nobody in their right mind would call him a liberal, yet he still sane 😅 we live in a world where most conservatives are not normal people anymore
He's a paid puppet that reads a script....
🦆The Democrat's Smiling faces sometimes Pretend to be your friend Smiling faces show no traces Of the evil that lurks within (can you dig it?) Smiling faces, smiling faces, sometimes They don't tell the truth Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof Oh, oh, yeah
@@davidcohen7106 I think you should refill your antipsychotics and stop liking your own comments

Conservatives aren’t normal people anymore but democrats wanting men to play womens sports, men to use women’s facilities, saying you can identify as a bird if you want is normal??? You have it twisted, but ignorance runs deep for liberals so I’m not surprised at such a stupid comment
Actually it was Thoreau almost 150 years ago who critiqued the government: “If I knew someone was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good then I should run for my life “
the real issue is that three quarters of the population is just plain fng stupid.
Is it that many in the Dem run inner cities?
I'm sure you're a lot smarter than most people.
And that is also by design. The dumber people are, the more easily controlled they are. Schools weren't invented to help poor people. Schools were invented to create military officers.
It would help if we got rid of all the republicans
True. Voting in this current incompetent administration
Joe Scarborough is the perfect articulator of today's political reality:
With just the right tone, just the right amount of facts, and the right amount of drama. All the Best!
It happened because of
Fairness doctrine crap
Citizens united crap
In the humble opinion of a 64yr ol' lady.
The fairness doctrine was definitely the start. Sadly most people don't even know what it is.
Indeed! Anand SHEDS LIGHT again! I’M HAPPY TO RECEIVE “The Ink”!
It does seem like a plot to divide and conquer.
Cartel Bidens agenda
Well said!!!
De-developing?? It's more like devolving. Everyone is a threat and take what you can get from anyone who is not. It's animal behavior
*IM AN AUTHOR* on psychology and the collapse of civilisations - THIS IS WHAT SOCIETAL COLLAPSE LOOKS LIKE
Like all collapses - "slowly at first and then all of a sudden" - you guys just entered the "all of a sudden" phase.
Trying 2 erase History only 2 repeat it again 🤨
DeSantis is doing a great job of rolling the tide back in Florida. And his supporters cheer while he does it
No one is erasing anything. Whites and Americans just have no reason to care since there is no proof that anything we did wasnt done before. 😊
I love that he talks about anonymous trust. It’s what I love here. You can compliment someone on the street about their jacket, an aspect of society that now seems susceptible to erosion.

Countries that don’t allow citizens to have guns are much safer and less crime.
Mexico citizens are not allowed to have any guns do you think Mexico is a lot safer than the United States🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@jamesl9371
Asia is a continent. Most of the countries in that continent are either socially conservative and homogemous or outright authoritarian.
Not helping your case.
@@mobilusinmobili8321 I’ll never persuade people like you but I have lived in several countries in Asia and traveled to more. Communist and democratic and capitalist and socialist. Every place has been safer than the USA. And no gun crime. Very little crime. But you’re welcome to living with your way. But many people in the world can’t understand the insanity of the USA. Little kids get shot in school. Kids get shot for knocking on the wrong door or stopping in the wrong driveway. It’s very sad and sick
Excellent segment.
I agree with you sir. I fear the time will come when big cities will become their own prisons.
Their inner cities already are.
All of a America is a Superjail where the prisoners compete for their cells.
Good morning gentlemen! Greetings from Indonesia. Thank to Morning Joe that always brings very fundamental and important thinkers and talks about the sanity of our society. Thank you so much, Mr. Anand. You are right! ANONIMOUS TRUST! Not only in America but in the rest of the world. Indonesia nowadays is ok, but still, we are about to enter the next political phase for the presidential election next year. ANONIMOUS TRUST should be preached throughout the world. Anonymous trust is very important to human beings to SURVIVE!
Rupard Murdoch is the passive aggressive version of Vlad Putin!

Spot on... All his (DE) words!
I wish Joe would talk less and let the guests talk more.
Insightful comment
This is why it's hard for Amazon, Fed Ex, etc. to hire delivery drivers. Don't go on the porch! Don't knock on the door! Just throw the box and run back to your van! Let's replace guns with water balloons!
But what about the ages of the shooters? They are not de-developing, rather they have developed as paranoid gun nuts.
This guy is so spot on. Great intellect
Money is the root of all evil. I'm beginning to believe that.
Actually, it is the pursuit of money that drives people to commit evil acts.
No, the love of money is the root of all evil. 1 Timothy 6:10😊😊
Ask criminal china Joe about that
Spot on!!!
Spot. On.
Joe knows how to dominate his show.
" American society is not evolving, it is devolving...."
Hey Joe, do you and your fellow GOPers want to take any blame for this? This has been a slow burn, a burn you were a part of. May be not the explosion, but you were part of the burn.
Rush Limbaugh started this
murka isn't a free society .
Not anymore!
The elite libs have their foot on the necks of American citizens.
So very true.
The foundation of society used to be the nuclear family, coupled with values, respect for authority, work ethic, education and church. All long gone ... 🔥
Those things became a part of our society for such a short period (especially the nuclear family) that I don't really think they are that important. We did fine efore the mid 20th century
I _wish_ the church was gone. The church has lost its gd mind.
@@InfiniteJustice When churches preach hate and bigotry, they are contributing to the violence..
Religion is a prison of the Mind Free Yourself or be bound by chains of the past
Why do you suppose this has occurred? Nuclear families imploded once people, primarily women, recognized that remaining in unhealthy abusive homes while pretending life was perfect was no longer sustainable. Old society norms, many still exist, painted women in a negative light for leaving their circumstance because it no longer fit the American fantasy of a nuclear family. Many women also realized there are options to creating a family while obtaining a career that contributes to society.
“Authority” has displayed a lack of integrity that does not always warrant respect. Work ethic has fortunately changed in that people have begun to recognize their work and their ethic is primarily meant to serve them and their family. Not the low paying capitalists who have shown indifference to their work forces by refusing to pay a living wage, blocking unions, and mass layoffs via Zoom.
Education is being targeted by people who want to rewrite history, ban books and limit educational exposure to anything that does not fit their agenda.
Church has become politicized with many so called “Christians” bastardizing the Bible to use as a weapon of hate.
You are right, things have changed and fortunately so. However, the change you find discouraging is the reaction to establishments that have not served society well.
That was a great discourse. All we can do is wait and except the next horror story.
