As a British person, I respect the US for having worked towards freeing itself from monarchical tyranny. That said, even *we* don't have anything more than a purely ornamental monarchy these days - the suggestion that any democratic republic should return to true autocracy is utterly deranged; I hope you manage to escape that.

Sam's point at around 20:13- oligarchy in Russia and how similar it is to what we have today. What separates Russia and China as oligarchies from the United States is that in R & C the oligarchs fear the political class while in the United States the political class fears the oligarchs.

Free speech means expressing sincerely held beliefs or opinion and not being punished by the government for it. Lying is not free speech, its lying. There is no such thing as alternative facts, its lying. Choosing to ignore proven facts in favour of made up bullshit makes you a fnckwit and a liar not a free thinker. Calling out a lie is not censorship, it is mandatory for a healthy society. Lying for person, political, financial or other material gain is not free speech, and is in fact also not core political speech, it is called fraud.

15:54 No. The only “mathematical problem” is the fact that billionaires can give away 99% of their money and still be obscenely wealthy! THAT’S A HUGE FREAKING PROBLEM! …Also, which billionaires have actually given away 99% of all the money they have? I’d really like to know the answer to that, as well as the answer to why any of us should be okay with anyone having so much wealth that they can give 99% of it away and STILL be insanely rich. (Just for reference, if I have a billion dollars and I give 99% of it away, I still have TEN MILLION DOLLARS!)
It's not that you live under an oligarchy just now. You now live under a different oligarchy than the that which held sway a decade ago, in terms of political position.
Absolutely, but this country does have an interesting economic history. Don't ever fall for the "it's always been like this" brainwashing. It's powerful and causes people to literally talk down to themselves. The population is under a spell.

Need to add a further comment. Most universities have done the R&D that is then lifted into corporations. So where are these people actually doing work or doing the actual research and development. If universities which are being handed cash via student loans from our government and then have people like him who then take the research and hard work that was done at the university and he just runs off with the cash, how is this fair or right?

Unfortunately the trolley car was unstoppable. Some were ignorant, others incredulous, but the worst were the apathetic. At least those in the trolley car knew exactly what they would do and were willing to do whatever it takes. Good intentions, civility and adhering religiously to a doctrine or ideology all became irrelevant once they understood that everything had changed forever and to get back would be a long and painful journey that would require re thinking principles and ideals. Really that ideals are a luxury that only those who live in a free society can afford. Anyway try reading The Human Crisis speech or The Power of the Powerless by Vaclav Havel.
