    I disagree with the notion that "the left" would be against coal unions. a strong union in the coal industries decreases the likelihood that those employees die of poisoning or dangerous working conditions, not to mention can stop companies from polluting as hard. this is even more true in the mining industries where unions (aka workers getting a say) have the resources and ability to stop those companies from polluting and selling resources to oligarchs for insane amounts of money. and if the industry dries up (which is will) those workers have a much safer passage out of the industry. unions are only good, strikes are only implemented when the working class is being exploited.

    • @777Lloyd777
      @777Lloyd777 24 วันที่ผ่านมา +8

      A union is bad when it harms members of the working class for the benefit of those in the working class under that union. For example, a police union or power plant workers union wield the power of our justice system and our infrastructure respectively, whereas no one outside the company would be deeply affected by a Car Salesmen strike at least at the local level.
      I think the solution is the complete democratization of the workplace or strong unions with some degree of local oversight by the citizens.

    • @ministermanitee5244
      @ministermanitee5244 24 วันที่ผ่านมา +7

      @777Lloyd777 I still think police and power unions are a good thing. Police injustices are more a fault of the system that needs reforming than the unions. Unions are not part of the problem, they have the power to protect the rights of officers to call out corruption, turn in their colleagues, and keep themselves safe without threat of being fired. In the powerplants side, I fully respect the working class to fight for their freedoms, safety, wages, even if it puts the energy sector at risk. The reason they can bargain anything is because it poses that risk that if you exploit your workers they have the power to shit down the country. That's good democracy. The same can be said for public transport, teachers, construction workers. All of those industries have the power to grind grind country to a halt because that's how important their work is and they should be duelly compensated.

      @@ministermanitee5244 I'm not saying those unions are inherently bad, I'm just saying a police union or a power plant union wields far great power than a cosmetologists union for example. Any kind of major power imbalance even in fundamentally positive institutions I believe can cause trouble.
      I think for police unions in particular there's problems, if the members of an institution are fundamentally corrupt they will better be able to further that corruption, if you have 20 corrupt cops and 1 whistle blower, the union isn't likely going to take the whistle blowers side. That's why I stressed that the general public needs oversight over those kinds of institutions.
      The goings on at the local Blacksmith guild is unlikely to affect me personally, But I am beholden to police authority and the workers at a power plant can put me on an involuntary strike with the pull of a lever.
      Im absolutely in favor of unions, but we should encourage transparency and accountability, we can't really have that with a giant corporation, we can absolutely have that with unions, and I think we need it.

    Just to chip in a few things. I'm not british but I've studied British History, specifically 20th Century.
    Few extra highlights:
    The Miners strike was massive. There was no like compensation/transition away from coal mining, and the communities and people left behind never recovered. The areas with Miners were hit by Austerity policies the worse, meaning no redevelopment away from mining was possible. She not just broke the unions which destroyed workers rights and lead to mass exploitation, but she then purposefully underfunded those communities.
    At the time of the Miner Strike she spent a year stockpiling coal beforehand, showing it was a deliberate starvation tactic. Her goal was to starve these miners. At the same time she used police and the national defence force to attack picket lines.
    Her right to buy scheme is the reason for a lot of the housing price increase today, as she sold off a lot of houses without actually building new ones. It's left atrocious council housing to this day, alongside deepening fissures in society.
    The Big bang which was created by her in order ot move the UK into being the hub for international exchange can be directly tied to the causes of the 2008 financial crash.
    Shes a terrible person, who is singlehandedly responsible for the vast majority of the problems today in the UK. Reagan at least was within a line of succession, Thatcher has the joy of singularly being the cause of everything. She propogated neo liberalism, killing old welfare state policies and even destroying the left wing party. She can be linked to the economic crash, the housing market, instability in the UK and it's stagnating economy.
    Also Daily Mail is the UK's equiv of fox news :), as a fyi :D!

      As a Brit this should be the top comment
      When describing recent British history we begin at thatcher for a reason.
      Literally every major problem facing Britain today originates from here, from sewage being dumped into rivers, to the near third world level wealth gap between London and the rest of the country, to our modern high energy costs, to our poor wages, to our brutally expensive and extremely small houses, to financial services so dominating the rest of the economy that the countries assets are continually sold off to make another financial product.
      She was probably saved by the falklands war, as when Argentina invaded the falklands, she was unpopular and presiding over rising unemployment in her first term. The liberation of the falklands caused the downfall of the fascists in Argentina and thatcher got a larger majority in parliament.

      Thatcher is a woman, though many brits dispute that instead believing she was a hell beast.
      Britain has had 3 female PMs; Thatcher, May, and Truss (May is the only one not actively evil). We tend to have female party leaders come from the tories as on olive branch to moderate swing voters. They are not for female empowerment and have been some of the nastiest people in Britain. This is why the current Tory leader Kemi Badenoch, a British Nigerian woman who was raised until 16 in Nigeria, spews such hateful idiotic crap. Including recently complaining about sandwich’s and people having lunch breaks.
      Americans do not assume a female leader is a feminist, the British establishment demonstrates an uncanny ability to discover hellspawn, dress them in a frock and unleash them to terrorise the poor.

      If a union has that much power, then they can abuse said power. Which they did.
      Unions aren't inherently morally righteous. Does that justify Thatcher's mauling of the UK, or her complete disembowling of the unions, the scars of both which we still feel today? No, obviously not. But leaving that much power in the hands of a completely unelected body which you have no control over, especially if you're not high up in their industry? Yeah, that's just as dangerous as leaving in the hands of a government as awful as Thatcher's.

    As someone from northern england who grew up in a traditionally industrial family, gonna put it this way. If anyone came to most places in or ireland, and spoke about thatcher like how that video does, they would find themselves waking up bloody and bruised in a field. She was a blatant warmonger, killed british industry, starved the british rail network, was actively funding a literal genocide, was racist and homophobic. It’s hard to not hate her. If you ask someone who lived under thatcher, they will inevitably have something to say about her. The musical Billy Elliot has a whole christmas song about wishing death upon her. This was 12 years before she even died.

    The point of unions is to wield the power of their workers. If the union could bring the country to a stand still by striking, that means the work its members do is vital to society and they should enjoy working conditions and wages that reflect that. While coal itself is still harmful to society, that doesn't necessarily mean the union is too. In America, the United Auto Workers have recognized the necessity of green energy and are trying to use their power to make sure workers aren't getting left behind in that process. Had the UK coal union maintained it we could've seen it use its power to ensure wages and working conditions in the energy sector remained good as things changed. This is speculative on my end, but the implication that her union busting wasn't that bad because the modern left would probably dislike what the union does gives her a pass for disempowering people to force progressive change.

    • @tweakr4377
      @tweakr4377 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Things about thatcher you missed: she privatised major infrastructure like transport, energy and especially water which has been disasterous for the cointry. ; her policies became the norm for british politics, dragging the labour party more right wing. ; she was really good friends with jimmy savile (britains biggest nonce). ; she massively worsened the north/south divide so any economic improvement from her you might have seen was entirely localised to the london financial sector. ; she was pivital to the falklands war which was the one time she actually fought *against* a dictator and arguably one of the few good things she did.

    What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming;
    Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
    O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
    And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
    Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there:
    Oh, say! does that star-spangled banner yet wave
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
    On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
    Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
    What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
    As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
    Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
    In fully glory reflected now shines in the stream:
    'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh, long may it wave
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
    And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
    That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
    A home and a country should leave us no more?
    Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution!
    No refuge could save the hireling and slave
    From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
    And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
    Oh, thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
    Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
    Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
    Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
    Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
    And this be our motto: "In God is our trust":
    And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

    I dont agree with like 2/5 of your political beliefs but you deserve much more recognition than you get. Funny videos and stuff.

    Regarding the lady who asked whether we’d want ‘a woman like that’ as our Prime Minister, the UK has now had three female PMs and currently has its first black female political party leader, all of whom were/are on the ideological right. So far in our history a woman has only been able to get close to the top political position by being conservative.
    Also: I’m assuming the ‘21 years’ is a joke, as she was PM for 11 years, being forced to resign in 1990.
    Lastly, I’m happy to be critical of PragerU for getting its facts wrong, or for leaving out other ones, but I don’t think it’s reasonable to criticise a media platform merely because it doesn’t share my ideological perspective.

    I always wondered why in America they gave so much broadcast to Martlin Luther King. We didnt hear a thing about him or his speech in britian. But maybe thats because we actaully learn about what they went through in detail.

    Beyond political bullshit. This is a terrible gameshow, like you get punished because the other person got picked first to answer and got the answer right? And the answers where given to you like five minutes before the show started, so its basically just you get punished because it wasn't your turn. Who came up with this bollocks???

    This was a great video. As a fellow American, I knew Thatcher was a Tory, but I never actually learned what her policies were beyond fucking up British taxes. I wish more Americans held the same sentiment for Reagan as they do for Thatcher, as they were so similar, but he's still lauded as one of America's best presidents.

    weeeeeeeeeeeeell, as much as the control the coal unions had could be seen as problematic, by completely GUTTING them, it acted as a very extreme 0 to 100 approach that CRIPPLED practially EVERY northen town/city. In fact, the limitations on importing coal as a whole were put in place by post war labor to improve the overall countries health by insuring basically everyone, wherever they were in the country, could have a stable income.
    Unsurprisingly, thatchers actions quickly led to many young workers all fleeing to the south with service jobs- and ever since, the government has never put and sufficient effort into recoving any places that are'nt london- and thats a major factor that led to the recent country-wide riots!

    11:15 Based on the level economy. Yes, government can control how much profits a residency (thus working class men and women) receives. In most states affordable housing is nonexistent with working jobs cannot support the rent pay either thanks to corporate greed or the government limiting the employees of their well deserved pay. Whereas if you receive payment through SSA or SSI, the government limits you no less than $2,000. Thatcher's heart was in the right place in trying to limit the government's power. But we can agree that her decision's were mostly misguided and wrong, right?

    Frederick Douglass also praised John Brown, whom I'm sure Prager considers a terrorist and definitely didn't "work within the system".
