        cut the bullshit. this is clickbait expecially given your responses. You can host this on a non commercial platform but you didn’t.

          Here is a piped link. I’m not associated with BadMouse, and I don’t necessarily agree with their politics. I did, however, find the video informative. So, I thought I would share.

            thats more reasonable. I will now give it a look later. Granted though I still find video a poor means of intellectual discourse over the formal written word.

                So the title made me initially not want to watch and then the video itself told me its not meant for me in the first minute or so. So anyway I find a lot of his arguments are not as problematic when proper laws keeping money out of politics, which is now impossible in the US given the citizens united ruling. Well impossible till congress acts to correct the judicial mistake (and it is such a massive mistake given how much the constitution emphasizes power is reserved ultimately for the people)

                  Thanks for taking the time, even if you don’t agree with their politics. It is important to find common ground, if possible, with differing points of view. There is a way through this, but only if we work together, despite political differences. It can happen.

                  You gave an old man hope today. Thanks.

                    Its a tough subject overall as peoples definitions sorta can differ. Citizens united from the us has certainly effected my outlook and now, at the least, I question the wisdom of having any type of legal shielding around trusts and corporations and other legal entities like religions and non for profits. So I have become somewhat of an anti corporatist as opposed to capitalist.

                it is although my preferences remain. What it comes down to is if video is what your sending then expect people to watch or not to watch based on what they glean from text. ie - title and description. Ain’t no one got time to watch every video they come across. Well except my wife. What! dear! no I was not talking about you.
