It's funny how mad you people are at Orban
Esse é o vídeo mais besta que já vi 😂
Great video! Embrace Democracy!
do You really believe that democracy really works? 4:07 isn't this what all governments do ? UK now sentences their citizens over Facebook posts, US is the dirties of all government starting wars over oil and undermining governments not wiling to cooperate in numerous deals. EU is literally overflown and torn apart by immigration so..
The deep state is exposing their own techniques in order to throw shade upon their adversaries.
Lol ... Pure propaganda. US and the west good all others bad
Disinformation. See Bezmenov.
The video oversimplifies the political systems of Iran and Turkey, portraying them as straightforward dictatorships. It fails to recognize Iran’s complex system with both elected officials and the Supreme Leader’s influence, as well as Turkey’s semi-authoritarian landscape where elections and political opposition still exist. The video also frames authoritarian regimes as a monolithic threat, emphasizing Western democratic superiority without acknowledging the flaws in democracies .it also doesn't acknowledge how American democracy is being manipulated by autocractic organization like AIPAC.or the complexities within autocracies. By focusing on selective examples and not including alternative viewpoints, the narrative is being biased and one-dimensional.
I think that’s fair criticism. I do absolutely think that the power of the Supreme Leader in Iran is absolute, and the elected part of the government is picked by him and to some extent the Guardian Council. So in the end the people’s power over the election choices is near zero. And regarding Turkey, I am not trying to say it is an authoritarian state, I hope that is not what the video comes across as doing. I actually have a video about the lobby industry in Washington, I’d love to hear your feedback on how you think i covered that topic. I am still learning how to cover these topics in a fair way, so thanks for the feedback!
the video literally says that democracies has flaws, and that there are not perfect, it looks like you are biased in reality.
@@Andr7xhe doesn’t go into depth about its flaws nor does he point it out. Biased from your side
The real dictators are NATO countries
Narendra Modi missing from the Thumbnail 😑
More like the next prey of American democrazy 😂
Great video, as a Venezuelan, I respect Ms Applebaum work and I wanted to read that book for a long time now 😅
To answer your question I would say you are about 30 years late, it's old news sir. However, it's still a well presented video and you deserve more subs.
Democracy is the easiest government to control, that's why the global banking cartel wants every place to be one. Rothschild: "Give me control of a nation's money supply, and I care not who makes its laws."
It's so funny... americans will simply never understand. Whole west in fact. You people simply failed to evolve
underated
Great video and well researched. Although: 1) You put Kyrgizstan and Tajikistan into the borders of China. 2) In the Montage of dictators, you put some double and thus missed the opportunity to put in the leaders of Cuba, Vietnam, North Korea and Qatar.
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I realised my screw up after someone pointed out the map, that’s what I get for finding maps online 🤷♂️ Yeah fair, definitely could put in more variation in the image montage.
I don't think it would be correct to call Cuba a dictatorship, it's clearly a one-party government but that's not the same as DPRK or Qatar
@@DollyRanch I don't find a single dataset that labels Cuba as democratic. And please explain the democratic nature of a country that does not allow political opposition.
@@nozellot well they have elections. So that's how. And there's plenty of opposition suppression in our countries; just look at how Bernie Sanders was sabotaged despite being more popular than HRC. Or how the massive protests against the UK joining the Iraq war were ignored, whistleblowers were prosecuted etc
Also missing is India
Ahh, Americans are calling everyone who does not want to be their puppets and whose regimes that can’t topple dictators again
What makes them not dictators? When you do the amount of research that Applebaum did to make this book maybe you’ll think again..
@@fuelforyourthoughts what makes Putin not a dictator ? The fact that the overwhelming majority of Russians support him, believe it or not. And about the freedoms of speech, there is not such thing as freedom of speech in most western countries, but they call themselves democratic anyway, and about electoral pull, I mean the choice between Trump and Biden or Kamala for a country of 300 + millions of people is just ridiculous, are these the best people who can be elected ? I can’t speak confidently about Xi for example or other people whom you call dictators, but I am from Russia, I can confidently say that Putin is one of the most supported leaders in our history, everyone I know older than 30 supports him, those who do not are mostly very young people listening to western news agencies
@@fuelforyourthoughts Russian, China and Iran do not collaborate to support each others Regimes, they do because they are all officially written as US main enemies, there is 0 things in common between Russia and Iran, we have to cooperate because we are cornered together
@@fuelforyourthoughts deleted the comment 😀😀😀
@@fuelforyourthoughtsthat is your love for the free speech, deleting people who do not agree with you and answer your questions ? You are a RUclipsr-dictator sir )
Change? wasn't that Obamas mantra...Hope and change?? another fraud deceiver....
Kamala is Queen of CHAOS.....20 milllion INVADERS entered our country without our knowledge to do what??? under her watch she is destroying our Country.....HUGE LYING FRAUD
I wish I could be Ramsay Bolton in front of them
In today's age of technology, dictators and their loyal puppets are using the media to influence public opinion, to alienate society from democracy and the free world. Infultrating weak minds and filling it with 'anti west sentiment'. They are using public opinion to target global bilatiral partnerships such as NATO, EU and G7, organizations which they believe is strictly "pro western". Blaming the west for their own mistakes. In 2014, Ukraine (an independent country) wanted to join the EU, the reason Ukraine was seeking this partnership, is to strengthen their economy, trade and workforce, NONE of what they wanted was "politically" motivated in any way whatsoever. But Putin treated it in a political context, he interfered with ukraine's internal politics (which he had no right to do..), and brainwashed the ukrainian president to betray his own people in favor of becoming another eurasian puppet state. You can imagine the outrage of the proud ukrainian people at his last moment betrayal. When they spoke up and thought back.. Putin threw a tantrum and invaded its southern region. For three years they have been making excuses for Putin, protecting him through bilatiral manipulation in the UN and economic coersion. Now that Ukraine is gaining momentum and pushing back towards russian borders, now russians are playing the "victims", accusing them of aggression and calling for peace. Why did the russians not call for peace three years ago..? What changed..? If the russians truly want peace, then here is what needs to be done>, withdraw all russian forces from illegally occupied ukraine territory, stop making nuclear threats, call for Putin's resignation, and apologise for the losses that ukraine has had to suffer. And stop using the media to manipulate public opinion. Allow Russia to have free and fair elections, with terms NOT exceeding 5 years in office (per term, with a maximum of two terms in total> 10 years or less). That is a similar approach to the actual dialog that Russia agreed to in 1991 when they signed the accords, recognizing ukraine's independence in writing. Since they are in breach of this agreement.. they are not entitled to "peace talks" unless they abide by the original terms
Nice video man, keep it up!
Subscribed. Perhaps the most frightening thing for me at this point in history is how a critical mass of fellow citizens in democracies are getting fooled and blinded by Autocracy Inc.'s propaganda. Not seeing it for the dangerous weapon it is, even carrying, spreading and helping to fire it at their own country and its machinery. And down the line, at themselves. This virus is more dangerous in its consequences than Corona, and it's a pandemic.
Correction. This virus is a pandemic like COVID, but much more destructive.
As someone with a decent knowledge of history, it scares me just how quickly larger nations seem to be slipping into despotism. I am scared that the bastions of freedom may fall like the Weimar Republic of Old.
Where have you been the past four years? Can you call France a bastion of freedom? The United Kingdom? Absolutely not.
My site supervisor cannot make racist comments to me when I am on the job but someone is allowed to play music with racist words in it and you are telling me that this person playing this music is not a dictator we need the computer to tell us what to do we are being lied to whether it is a person playing racist music or me playing racist music on my site supervisor playing racist music it is all having the same consequences I'm just lying to myself and people are lying to me we need the computer to tell us what to do. These people playing racist music are lying to us as much as a dictator and since we cant stop them, we need the computer to tell us what to do
Since Democracy itself is f*cked up in most Democratic countries, there's no difference between autocracy and democracy.
This is a video that needed to be made
by a failing empire...okay; oligarchy.
Change the word 'democracy' with 'America'. 😂😂 It will have somewhat of a resemblance to truth.
Portraying Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan as part of China is diabolical
Yeah that’s what I get for finding my maps on royalty free video sites 🥲
9:22 Non-western propaganda = propaganda. Western propaganda = “digital literacy education” 😂
I don’t think you know what digital literacy education is
@@fuelforyourthoughts oh relax it’s just a jab at how sanctimonious these neoliberal types like Applebaum are.
and who canceled elections
Great video man! Very informative and well made. You have a new subscriber, keep it up! :)
@@kjeldversleijen1067 Thank you so much!
This video is misleading in a sense that it targets only 1 group of villains. There's another group of villains as well that never restrained from attacking countries, throwing democratic governments and what not.
Usa usa 🇺🇸
Of course it is never so black and white. I am merely trying to highlight this group as they are key players. Many democracies as well has a history of overthrowing democratically elected governments before *cough cough* the US of A and Britain.
How is Mnangagwa there? So subtle but you’re implying he’s a dictator, yet he won the elections and has clearly said he’s stepping down as the constitution states, after his term ends.
Because the book talks about Mnangagwa and Zimbabwe multiple times and his collusion with autocracies worldwide, both during his time as security chief to Mugabe and as president.
you forgot the most important aspect: create dialogue with the citizens of autocratic regimes. A regime can't operate without the cooperation of its population.
Subscribing before you blow up
@@nathan-iz2bq Cheers!
I want to rule Canada with an iron fist. Why dont these dictators reach out to me?
I should produce a movie called Our Man in Turku. Detailing this whole bloody mess. There are so many good movie ideas I have if only I know if I am the descendants of the Wallenberg's or the Rothschilds on my Swedish side of my family. Or if I am part of the Romanov's or some Lithuanian Jewish family. It's always the Jew fault isn't it. Rosenberg (Julius and Ethel), Weinstein, etc. I seriously wonder if Reinhard Heydrich, Himmler, and the rest of the occultist Nazi''s were secretly patroitic Germans who hated Hitler for being a crass mumbling parvenu.
bro what are you yapping about
@@fuelforyourthoughts Have you read about the why The Communist executed the Romanovs. Do you know the Swedish Banking family Wallenberg. I am sorry if this comes across as a bit rude but I am not in the mood for jokes. I am bloody furious at the Muricans. They should have no right to self determination. I say that if they vote for Trump in November then have the whole Western World put them under occupation like the uncivilised nation that they are.
Hmm, So am I the grand child of Rahoul Wallenberg or did Anastasia Romanova really manage to escape? I have so many questions. FUCKING AMERICANS and their MURICA attitude. Jedem das Seine mir das Meiste.
1:49 The map of China is wrong, you painted Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan yellow too
Oops, thanks for the feedback. That's what I get for finding maps online and not paying attention.
it's crazy how the westerners lack common sense 😂 anyone who isn't nato is a dictator? y'all bombing and killing millions in the name of democracy and labeling anyone against western imperialism as a dictator 😂
I mean, many of the people I am talking about in the video are in fact dictators by definition. Are you saying that every single democracy is bombing and killing millions in the name of democracy? In that case, that's news to me. I am completely aware and critical of what NATO has involved itself in for decades, but that is not the topic of this video. Maybe a future video though. Have a good day!
The USA should also be named amongst the countries pushing back against human rights in the UN Security Council. It is shameful how they continue to use their veto power against justice in Palestine
Yeah true, that could be a future video topic.
im suprised this video has like no views
Thanks for watching! It does seem to have been favoured in the algorithm now so we’ll see.
It's because people can't live in democracy
It deserves none
Nice video, cool to see a new creator making quality content
Thank you so much!
