What year were you born? 1990's??? Try since the late 1970's---20 years before your 20 year time line begins. Th The Dead Kennedy albums are pure prophecy in regards to the mocking and warning all of us about the absurdity and real danger of the modern day corporate/ military apocalypse called the USA.
The worst bit is that the most unavoidable element of life in America is the over-(and exclusively) privileged using the abstract concept of "Liberty" to make themselves immune to culpability for their actions in everything from civil offenses to internet anonymity. I mean, you deserve a right to an extent to privacy, but not another re-iteration of complete exemption from social contract in the John Locke sense. (actually a lot of people seem to think living in America makes you simply immune to everything- freedom isn't actually free)
As someone who claims generation-Y (the people after or on the cusp of gen-x but well before or separated from millennials), I always felt that my generation looked at the baby boomers and regan's policies and quickly migrated to the counter, alternative, or sub-cultures because we recognized how dangerous pop culture and conformity could be. (also because our parents generation were often lazy and ineffectual) But now I fear that the younger generations are flocking to join the illegitimate authority
If the government actually bothered to improve public education even a LITTLE bit then we wouldn't have 1/2 the problems we have now in 20 years or so, because people would actually be SMART and EDUCATED!
Katz Why would they want an educated population? They've been taking money out of public ed and putting it into building prisons and the military for decades. An educated populace expects to have a say.
When you're brought up with a focus on obeying authority it's tough to grow a desire to think critically. especially young girls like me who were predisposed to images of women obeying men in powerful positions.
Reading MAD magazine as a kid gave me an early leg up on spotting bullshit in ads and such... that someone was always trying to sell me something. What's out there nowadays teaching kids to be skeptical and to question authority?
I just died laughing at 6:18 as soon as he said is music and movie killing our soul, I said say i hope so , in perfect sync with him. I remembered his old spoken words when he said this. Funny how you can remember the strangest things.
Jello knows exactly who those people are and would have went on there shows if he wanted but even he knows that "winning" an argument does not make you right or find truth.

After all: the advertising industry is Fake News too. DK: "Life can only get better, all you need to do is fall in love... Everyone else has fun... buy that fun, you'll fit in too." Thank you JB for your work, energy and endurance. Solid man!
Thank you sir for your commitment to public service in it's authentic since you & The Music of the Dead Kennedys blessed me with such strong understanding that I eventually left the church behind and truly found God! To each his own,, let truth be known, We each find home from the path00 we're on
This video should be seen for all free people to see. This should have 150 million views. That would be a start to "renew" a true free America. Freedom relies on a intelligent citizenry
The best thing that i'd learnt from Jello & The Dead Kennedys back in the late 80s was this: 'think for yourself'; the media it's (here in Spain and most of Europe) the "offcial version" much in the Gulf of Tonkin "incident" style, you see or hear the story and have to go and look for the alternate versions and with all that... figure out what could be the truth, now some of us, we're doing what what the journalists should be doing, dig for the truth and spray it among those who want to listen; it's dangerous and exhausting, i'm getting very tired of the assholes on booth sides, the faszists and the dogmatics (faszists too IMO) but even tired im not dead yet, so i'll keep trying to make of this shithole world a better place, i know that's the right thing. And btw, i'll love to see Alternative Tentacles producing this young girl: Courtney Hadwin. She's from England but sings soul/R'n'R like a fuckin' beast, i've also seen her singing rap/hip-hop also like a beast; if Alternative Tentacles make a deal with her... here in the North of Spain you/she have a customer for a soul/R'n'R record of her with a good bat logo on the LP's back, quality guarantee.
When I was a teen in the late 70's and early 80's I had no idea what punk rockers were singing about it all just sounded good to me then I read Eustace Mullins and your music made sense...
It is sitting, a decade later, vomitous, realization that everything good about this is still relevant, and everything bad about it has not got any better.
Can't make it any position of power within the current framework without massive financial backing by the powers that be. Look what is happening to "radicals" like Tlaib, AOC, Bernie, & Omar. He would be a threat to the status quo.

jello i illegally preform Dead Kennedy's songs and have been training my voice to mimic you and im told i sound a alot like you singing im told im definitely better then armsteong who is a disrespectful turd i love you you gave me my moral compass and my inspiration

be careful how you store your CDs if you keep them horizontal like that they'll warp. if you store them vertically they'll give you a lifetime of listening pleasure
@@lipgloss-and-cigarettes Haha, I think he was joking man. The CD is dead as fuck and vinyl is booming. Hence piles of Alt. Tentacles releases collecting dust.
@@lipgloss-and-cigarettes No doubt people buy them still, but sales are loooow. At least they are affordable. Sometimes physicsl cds cost less than buying the digitial album!
What Chuck D has called the "dumbassification" of America. Funny this should be a topic, since I've recently moved to Richmond, CA and have discovered that Chevron has its own newspaper where it tries to give its own side of stories in editorials, as if the power of controlling content weren't enough. I used think Chicago's big two were bad enough with the Sun Times running as many tabloid stories as actual journalist pieces and the Tribune angling everything on what was good for business. Is there even a single paper in the east bay that has actual news? I'd love to support one!
Right on the money as usual. The only nitpicky thing I would respond is the following: unlike Time and Newsweek, I don't think People ever really harbored any pretensions of being a serious "news" source. That does however raise a sobering point: the distinction between People, whose primary purpose is arguably to provide a bit of fluff to occupy patients until the doctor's ready to see them, and ostensibly more "serious" publications like Time and Newsweek gets subtler every year...
Newsweek, TIME and Business Insider have had some great articles on this administration alongside WaPo, NYTimes and the LATimes since they came under new ownership among others. It all really boils down to excercising critical thinking skills and skepticism in your media consumption and I don't think Jello spent enough time explaining that point, but just wanted to show off his newspaper clipping collection.
Well, I'd admittedly be lying if I were to suggest that I've read Newsweek or Time other than in public places when I've had time to kill - laundromats, hospital lobbies, etc. That being said, the great articles you allude to notwithstanding, I thought Jello was right to take them to task for peddling such lowest common denominator, pandering, fear-mongering, sensationalistic fare. And his "showing off" (which I think is a bit harsh) aside, it does seem as though they return to that well a lot. Which, to my mind anyway, casts a doubt regarding their level of objectivity and journalistic integrity, because that should be beneath them. It's possible that their new ownership warrants a closer look, so maybe I'll read them the next few times that I go to the library. I agree with you completely where critical thinking and skepticism are concerned, though.
All Politics aside - Whenever I hear *"Trump! Trump! Trump!"* being chanted by masses of ppl - it sounds like lock-step marching jackboots to me..... O__O
I might not agree 100% with everything anyone says or believes, though I might have better understanding to say something about it. Jello is talking about something we all should be doing anyway...our own research. Sniff out more sources of news information. All that sniffing helps us form our own informed opinions, so we're sharpening our personal 'bullshit detectors'. When we know backgrounds and alternate points of view in a story, we can decipher even better--between bullshit, horseshit, ratshit and batshit--ALL kinds of crazy.
Thank you for unpacking this mind stopping cliche. Chancellor Cheeto loves his word salad. Just enough truth in the bullshit to be distracting and infuriating.

Unfortunately most American public schools avoid teaching critical thinking at all costs.

A firehose of information...thanks Jello!

Jello for President 2020. Not kidding talk about shaking down the corrupt system
How can we remain independent thinkers while completely immersed in media in general?
It's been a long second since I've thought about Jello, I am so glad he is still preaching on the turds of the world.
God bless ya brother.
He hates the God you believe in...
Good one. and Rachel does that parody very righteously indeed. he WAS NEVER 'elected'. great point!
Thanks for standing by US!!! Nina

Jello, thanks for putting out these videos! You rock!
We need Jello in Congress maybe we would get something done actully working for the people.
I can't picture him getting elected to office, as much as I'd love to be proven wrong about that.
