I interviewed some New Yorkers in Central Park about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, and Socialism in general
After doing some research into the Green New Deal I am sad to report that it does not hold up. Many scientists have come out claiming that the original IPCC report that the Deal is based on is full of errors. To add insult to injury AOC is not taking the criticism well.
The people of NYC have spoken! Listen to what they have to say about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, The Amazon Deal, and Trump 2020.
The made a mistake by putting so much hope into the investigation. We should not seek to blame , even if they're , instead, we should seek to learn more about the that has been revealed by the leaks. Trying to prosecute the people who uncovered the truth is exactly what Republicans used to do with people like Snowden, , and . Unfortunately, Democrats are making the same mistake.

Bernie has officially announced his run for the presidency in 2020. Unfortunately for him, he is getting push back from the Democratic party. They argue that he is not diverse enough for the position and that other candidates are already running on similar ideas. Do you think there will be another election fiasco for Bernie like there was in 2016?
Under the guise of passing a progressive law punishing hate crimes. Kamala Harris is succeeding in passing broad legislation which can put anybody of any race, creed, race, religion, or gender behind bars for life. As of February 19th, 2019 the bill has passed the Senate and will proceed to a vote in the House.
Sarah Silverman's monologue about Amazon has dramatic factual errors. In this video, I go through her argument step by step and show her errors.
The historical grave of Karl Marx has been vandalized for the second time this year. Is this kind of action ok in light of the recent trend of taking down historical figures deemed to be offensive?
President Trump is using the National Emergency's Act to get funding for the wall without congressional approval. Many have regarded this as an editorial move, but what people don't realize is that the use of executive power is fairly common. However, I do not agree with the wall. There are many other ways to solve our illegal immigration problem.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is facing backlash after spearheading the protest against Amazon's HQ2 in Queens, NYC. Amazon has noted that political controversy is the reason why they will no longer be moving to NYC. The most disappointing thing about this story is that AOC lies about her involvement in the movement afterward.
**INFINITY WAR SPOILER ALERT**
One of the great things about the modern Marvel movies is how they channel common hero arhetypes that we see throughout history. In this video I will elaborate on the similarities between Odysseus and Tony Stark. Here's the tl;dr version:
1. Both are rich wealthy heros
2. Both are reluctant heros
3. Both use their intelligence, rather than strength, to win their battles.
(Trojan horse and Iron Man suit loose comparision)
4. Both are sexually permiscuious
5. The last point is an infinity war spoiler which I discuss in the video
Something that stands out about this book is it's femininity. It shows the hero as a sensitive hero who uses his wits instead of their strength to make things right. Am I right?

If nothing else, this article shows that Marxism is still alive and well in our society.
Opinion | Happy Birthday, Karl Marx. You Were Right! Social justice movements like Black Lives Matter and embody his critical spirit.

Very surprised to see this. If this is where the left is going, then they have really lost sight of what it means to be a liberal.
Chomsky Among 'Progressives' Calling for US Military Involvement in Syria War propaganda in Syria has been highly effective in subverting the progressive anti-war left as it relates to the conflict.
I am strongly against Trump's unconcstituional air strike in Syria. We do not need another war in the Middle East. We have proven that nothing good comes from our long protracted wars.
After a two year hiatus me and my man Henry are finally back to recording podcasts. In this episode we cover politics, society, and Dionysian stupors.
A few days ago I got my first hate comment! I figure this is a good opportunity to talk about the fear people have regarding the expression of their own political views. There is too much sensitivty on both sides of the political isle, Democrat and Republican.

This is a great meme about what's wrong and right with Marx's thought.
Surprisingly a lot of what Karl Marx is asking for is already a part of American culture. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
To keep my video production going between book reviews I decided to weigh in on some popular topics. These are my thoughts on gun control. Disagree? Agree? Let me know!
Also I forgot to mention in the video that the Communist Manifesto looming in the background will be the next book review video. (I need a break from the ancient Greeks).
What makes a book part of the Patriarchy? The conflict in the lliad, in regards to gender theory, is the multiple roles women play in the book. They range from slaves outright to the most powerful beings in the universe. Does this make the book sexist or a feminist victory?
Spend your free time thinking about spiritual metaphors in ancient Greek culture? Then this is the video for you! This is my review of "The Illiad" where I make the argument that the book is basically a beautifully written holy text that pre-dates the Old Testament.

In "Triumphant Achilles" we see him grossly celebrating his victory over Hector. Almost all of the visible faces, even the horses, show a tragic and shameful expression. It's contrasted with Achilles's proud and victorious power stance. To me it shows the deep contrast between the hero Achilles thinks he is, and the monster he looks like to everybody else.
