“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti- intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” ― Isaac Asimov
What an elitist would say.
Love this quote. It’s the truth
@@sunnyhwhite we get it, reading is hard for you. you know how easy it is to read Asimov? We live in an age where you can conjure up anything on a computer and you have issues finding a book?
The Nazis, and the Italian Fascists grabbed up the intellectuals. Thinking people, people who question are dangerous to these groups(fascist groups).
John Ralston Saul says that the entire concept of anti-intellectualism is a concept founded and promulgated by self-styled intellectuals to shut down debate. Make no mistake, Mr. Asimov, working class people know things that you do not. And it is the peak of ignorance and arrogance to pretend that they do not. Your whole pretence of superiority is psychological projection of your fascism upon the underprivileged. Shame on you.
You’ve basically underlined why one of the most famous stories of the Bible is the story of the apple of knowledge that Adam and Eve ate….after which, they became as*holes like Mr. Asimov.
As the greatest Canadian ever said….”It is every citizen’s duty to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.”
Mr. Asimov is definitely one of the comfortable.
Mr. Asimov can take full credit for any ignorance that exists with his piss poor, hateful attitude.
Dr. Cornel West is wrong. Desperate people hate everybody. Especially the professional managerial class. Regardless of any of the categories you mention thereafter.
The fact that so many people aggressively refuse to even entertain any of the things said in this video just demonstrates how eager you people are to accept a comfortable lie over an uncomfortable truth. It's really sad.
This comment section proves Dr. Cornell's point.
Thank you. People really don’t like having a mirror shoved in their face; but they need it. Maybe a few will come to terms with reality eventually.

The race hustle is real damn 😂
Lol😊
Race hustler, get that money
Hes speaking the truth, people cannot handle the truth
Man, I used to like Cornell west. Still respect some of what he says, but over the past few years I've grown to have immense disdain for the American political left and secular liberal society in America. As I moved away from leftwing politics and politics as a whole and refocused on my Din of Al Islam, I find myself disagreeing with West more and more on many things.
True. Too much for most to understand on this page . Pathetic .
West used to be much better at critical thinking, now he’s just mouthing sophistry. Conservatives are not neofascists. Trump supporters might hate the administrative state but it’s a huge leap to equate that to hatred of blacks and Jews and Catholics… these are scare tactics to warn voters “remember the republicans are racist, you can’t vote for them so come on home to the democrat plantation.”
@isasooner5
Garbage. The "Left" has fought for human rights,animal rights and environmentalism for decades. Without"Leftists" America would still be in the 1950s. Wake up.
Our system of education has seen to this. It’s all by design
WTF is Cornell talking about?
😅
Don't care for the brother but if you can't follow along and at lease understand what he's talking about you may need to go back to pre-school!
Well, didn’t the nazis blame some of the same people for their economic devastation? They aren’t fascists they just blame their problems on the Jews because the economy sucks? Yeah, makes sense…and surely a black professor who wants reparations is exactly who MAGA people will want because he hates the managerial class🤔 Meanwhile the losers of this economy live way better than those Germans did but are even quicker to be reactionaries. By this measure shouldn’t all of Latin America be run by fascists, they are the biggest losers in the global economy yet Ecuador’s president is a banker and Chile’s is a leftist former student leader. Brazil went from revolutionary Lula to Bolsonaro and back to Lula…if you can’t follow along.
Ditto.....he is talking nonsense for those who are asleep.
Wassa matter? Want some dressing on his word salad?😅
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me.

Exactly what everyone's screaming about.
Then they came for the trans people and the homosexuals....

Very well said , but you must come into the realization that (Black) people doesn't count. !!!
Always defend the weakest group because you're next?
He is spitting facts yet people in the comments are clueless and mocking.
It's because they're having a mirror shoved in their face. People don't like what they see in themselves, so they mock the truth.
He said facts that are staring the west in the face. Yet they ridiculed him
@@roncoletta6513 exactly. The truth is that masses can easily be swayed by propaganda.

WORD SALAD MASTER
@@almaadams3631 Maybe you just don't know many words?
Dr. Cornell West in spite of all these negative shallow comments, is a very intelligent man. To say otherwise is just hate because you don't agree with his views.
He may be educated, but that doesn't mean he's intelligent.
@@Warlock2018a how does that even make sense? Intelligence is nothing more than one’s capacity to be educated…they go hand in hand!
😂😂😂😂
I just couldn’t keep up with the mental gymnastics it was gonna take to make sense of that. I like Cornell but he really has sabotaged his candidacy.
@@josephlovesgod1no my friend education is the ability to read and regurgitate. Cornell is a man of wisdom but he might have the woke mind virus.
If you think what he’s saying is nonsense, you have not read his work or the works of his peers. He’s making absolute sense.
Some of us have heard what Cornel West has said. And we despise and are DISGUSTED by his beliefs and opinions. We understand what he's saying QUITE Well😢!! And we do NOT want to follow! Just because we choose to hate HATE, which he pushes down people's throats, please don't mistake us for not understanding this man's political rhetoric. PLEASE, Open your ears and eyes and Get HIP to his GAME!
@@carlinthurston4473 what a coincidence. i despise and am disgusted by you, hater

@@carlinthurston4473 You just can't handle the truth.
No, he's not. All he's doing is trying to protect the 1% by hiding them behind minorities.
Who is this man? He sounds like the only voice of reason that the United States of Mass Shootings has...
Hope you aren’t American citizen!
hes running for president, cornel west.
We should all be supporting him, he'll unite us.
Dr. Cornel West
Theres not much mass shooting in america to be honest. We just report on it due to being a free press. Other countries dont report it
This man can’t exist without his race hustle.
You obviously have no idea what your talking about.
Yes it’s almost like his livelihood depends on the division of America just like Biden always yelling for democracy is in grave danger chicken little
Do I care what the kkk is doing no they can’t divide us if we stick together as Americans and that’s a proven fact. 🙏🇺🇸
Exactly
Please explain??
I have zero clue what this fella is saying. I just want a president who's beneficial to the country for the country.
We had 1 but the deep state couldn't stand being exposed
my pops always said doesnt matter what party your with just pick the one you think is going to lie to you the least and he is a very smart man ....if these people think a man that was born with a silver spoon in his mouth cares about the american working man they have zero common sense i see a spoiled rich brat when i see trump
This man is extraordinary and a straight shooter. He described the right-wing's fear of globalisation that goes along with fear of different ethnicities and sexual orientations here in Europe perfectly. You ever wondered why Conservatives are attracted to authoritarian leaders like Hungary's Viktor Orban who himself is attracted to Trump? Orban spew a lot hate against Jews
Biden might mumble and stumble but he's not defined by all of that. I respect that he's supposed to be beneficial in terms of economy, jobs etc.. but considering the world wide crisis that hit all nations hard America is doing well. America is even better than Germany that usually handles inflations and insane prices well and not to mention their comeback after WWII.
Well said..
I notice that whenever detractors disagree with something like what Cornell is saying they don’t actually address the issues being discussed, they just insult it amongst each other. If this isn’t a common basis amongst Trump supporters, then you tell me what it is.
He and anyone stupid enough to take him seriously are unworthy of anything other than derision.
I mean, how exactly do you disprove a statement like he just made though? He essentially just sterotyped a third of the country....The way it typically works is, the ownage of proof is on the individual making the claim. So a more reasonable request would be to ask for Dr. West provide evidence to backup is claim, instead of expecting strangers to chase ghosts to disprove a negative.
He isn’t expressing a coherent thought
David Duke isn't a Catholic. This guy is a race hustling nut.
@@emilyc8262 he’s a Harvard professor, a professional teacher. Your lack of comprehension says much more about you than it does about him 👀
It doesn't get more conservative than the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
What does that mean ? That only conservatives uphold the constitution and Bill of Rights ? That so-called liberals don't support them ?
many would say the Constitution and Bill of Rights are based on the moral philosophy of Liberalism, indiviual liberty and equality
@quincydavenport9977
You confuse liberalism of 200+ years ago to that of today's. Today's liberalism does not fight for individual rights and responsibility.
Think of it like this. What do conservatives want to conserve? Do you think it might be the culture that they've had for 200+ years?
@lonelyb9661 That's exactly what we want to preserve. You cherry pick the negative aspects of a 200 year old society, but fail to see the shortcomings of modern day society. We want to conserve what is wholesome and right and good. We don't want vile nasty fads shoved down our throat.
@@jeremyslatton7968
I dont get your comment. Are you saying you are conservative? Or that modern liberalism with its group identity wants to conserve individual liberty and rights?

WEST 2024✌️✌️✌️
"The professional managerial class" Does he mean government officials and employees who not only think they know how to run my life better than I do, but think it is appropriate for them to actually have the power to do it?
Yes, in conjunction with the intelligentsia, that's the people who are trying to push their views on social conduct on you and everyone else.
There's nothing wrong with hating on PMC, the fellow in the video could be interpreted as taking issue with the association made between the PMC and these groups, but if he's trying to condemn being against the PMC as a whole, then we'd have to disagree.
We need to push back against these people.
first of all government employees haven't done anything wrong to us, theyre just getting their paycheck no one's mad at the mailman or clerks or what have you. Now when he says professional managerial class he means big business and people exploiting others to get rich and all that. Of course government officals are also at fault and Mr. West has stated that in past videos but that is not the topic of discussion right now.
Who made this man a Dr.?
I was wondering the same thing
Cracker Jack gift
Anything this snaglevtooth trouble maker says is garbage . He hustles hatred and only makes money when he can keep his stories told

How the hell are blacks, gays, trans ect..."associated with the professional managerial class"? Ridiculous.
Yeah, even when I was leftwinger, which I’m not anymore, I Would never have accepted this nonsense! And can conflating and intersecting all these separate issues into one big issue as if they are all one and the same, is why I cannot stand the American political left and secular liberal society today!

@@dalehammers4425 Tell me you're already paying attention without telling me you're paying attention. You're not known for your intelligence say your owners.
This guy isn't even remotely correct. Do people believe it simply because he sounds intelligent?
He had made a few stretchrs, but his main point is correct. Consrervtisim is baded off preventing progress. That id the very base. From there we can draw some conclusions, of course the motivation for all people are different, many conservitives tend to be quite teasonable and "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" but what cornell said could be applied to many conservitives that are like essencially fascists in disguise.
..yep, eloquent speakers makes them feel good..😂😂
Yo I was like, this doesn't sound correct
@@charlesdiggs3799 he isnt very eloquent is he? Like my man has the vocabualary of a hippie mixed with a pastor. But what he is saying has some truth to itm
Lol some dummies saying one of the best minds of our times is wrong. Typical
West is profoundly confused
Confused about what??
He's everything But Confused , years of collective learning and overstanding the System since the 50s,60s,70s,. What he has witnessed in his lifetime will not allowed him to be confused. His opinions are of his own observation and studies.
Sorry, but he's not confused. I thought that for years and just didn't have a way to articulate. Look up and around Kmart shoppers, It's right in front of you! They're trying to bring in state sanctioned religion in the form of saying "I'm Christian." But it's really a back door way of bringing about authoritarianism and they've been doing it for 40 years successfully under the radar and quietly.
I think that is projection my friend.
Just say it went over your head!
Anyone who thinks Trump is a neofascist and Biden isn't should get far away from politics.Its not right vs left,its establishment pony vs anti establishment
Any person who believes Trump and Biden are the same should be far away from politics. Even just discussing the politics.
@hermantsoenyane1969 can you identify what the Biden administration has done to reverse the Trump administration's policies? We're all listening
He's a bigger hustler than Al sharpton.
Close, but not as big as Al Charlatan!
started out like a real point was going to be made and went waaay off the rails fast. haha
He’s an Affirmative Action recipient, so not too bright. How can I prove that? He’s running 3rd party and actually thinks people will vote for an angry aggrieved racist..Cuckoo Cuckoo..😛
He’s an angry aggrieved affirmative action recipient and racist. Sounds like a winning platform to me..🙄

My thought exactly. Well, after all he is an old school ‘60’s radical neo-Marxist, so not too surprising.
Crt false narrative....blm crap...
It's like looking for the sucker at the poker game. If you don't understand who he's talking about, he's probably taking about you.
prayers for Cornell
It must be terrible to be his age and knowing that he has been a racist his whole life . What a disgraceful so called human being.
Truth hurts sooooo bad
What has he said or done for you to say he is racist ??
Then only Racist is you Dude
Anyone who calls out racism must be a racist, according to you? How convenient and reassuring that must be for you.
A “so called human being”. What a disgusting way to describe someone. Isn’t one of the worst things about racism that It dehumanizes people? Isn’t that exactly what you’re doing?
This was ridiculous and I hate Trump. Things aren't as easy as this man says.
Even if it plays out complicated. It is absolutely as simple as he says. Greedy motherfuckers with power trying to dominate others, and making up bullshit excuses around development and salvation to get compliance.

It happened in Germany were the people wanting to be free of freedom and follow their Fuhrer!🗣️💀🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃👀👌😎
Being born to a slave number (social security) makes you anything but free.
You are one of these people he is talking about.
It's not enough that Americans comply. They must be made to BELIEVE in the leftist Marxist globalist Democrat agenda.
Thank goodness I have Quaker roots.
We love everyone. May peace be the cure for all that is gone and the catalyst for all that is coming our way.
WE DON'T NEED THEM!!!
West is just a more articulate Sharpton.
And both are wrong
@@chrisfriday7666 About what? Do you understand what he's saying?
@@robertyacoub9705does he 😂
😂 good comment
@@andyparky2716 But do you? Easy to dismiss what you might not understand. Easy, right? No worries. Just dismiss.
Conservative people don't need hate.
Remove Corporations from Politics
What makes you think you can speak for others sr
DR. CORNEL WEST FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!
No way Hose'
You support racist.
HE IS SO INSANE, HE SHOULD BE IN THE ASYLUM, NOT A PROFESSOR OF HARVARD.
Vote blue no matter who. A vote otherwise is a maga vote. We learned nothing from Nader.
@@ScottCampbell-xp5nx Well, well, well, Scott, VOTE RED MAGA, because the blue is full of corruption, protecting criminal, and woke, who act like toddler. Laptop from Hell was known and approved by the son of the Bluest guy. Vote correctly to lower your gas price.
West makes sense in most of what he says here. No fan of West but when he makes valid points it needs to be acknowledged.
Comrade West speaking truth. It might be hard to hear, but that's the way it is sometimes.
I have a hatred for the professional managerial class too but mainly because the private managerial class fails to push for the right things like increased minimum wage free-healthcare-for-all free-college-for-all etc.
I hear your wants… but asking the right question will lead to the right answer. Any of these are worth a discussion. Take healthcare… free healthcare would result in lowered quality, increased difficulty to get in to be seen. Try getting a cut on your hand and having to wait six weeks to get in and get stitches. Might as well do the doctoring at home. But hey, it’s free and you get what you pay for.
Look at what happened when rent caps are installed. The landlords then have to raise the rent at the start and they won’t rent to lower income people because the risk is too high. Each of these is a long study and discussion but each ultimately ends with an open market where individuals have the freedom to meet their own needs and choose what is important to them.
Also, I think if people weren’t taxed into oblivion and their paychecks preyed upon their standard of living would be manageable. Our government does not make good decisions with the 25-45 % of the money they take from American paychecks or all the other money and fees… dog licenses? Fishing licenses? Licenses and fees for absolutely everything? Food handlers licenses? Really?
@@haveyouflossedtodayAnd the fact that they've been borrowing from our Social security for decades. It's the biggest percentage of that $32 trillion debt. Bipartisan btw.
@@haveyouflossedtodayhe health care already is low quality. You're only allowed to have what you can pay for-through the almighty gatekeepers the insurance company! If your insurance company thinks it's not worth fixing your heart. They won't fix it and you dead. I almost died because of a broken disc in my neck from a car accident that happened two months prior and they wouldn't let me pay for it out of my own pocket because it had to be "approved" by the insurance company no matter what. I tried to give them all three of my credit cards that had nothing on them and she wouldn't take it. So how's that for your answer! They won't even take your own money You still think sanctioned healthcare isn't needed. You're a fool. Sorry, I'm sure you're not a fool but you're letting them fool you.
Free health care, not possible only in a Communist world but that means giving up your rights and freedom. Without corrupt politicians, Congress, and Senators lobbying and protecting Corporations And the rich, healthcare, insurance, real estate, energy, credit cards and others can all be very very affordable. Just in comparison a set of dentures for my mom can run her 5 to $7000, I can buy 3 tons of metal and plastic with electronic components, microchips a computer and a big battery in running conditions for less than that go figure, is just plain abuse.
Yeah when you hear him speak like this you understand why he didn't get his tenure at Harvard
Exactly, anyone this full of irrational hate shouldn't have tenure at Harvard.
@@practicaliching2311 bullshit
Not hate. He speaks truth.
@@FedUpSista I'm sorry but he's so far off the mark. Are you familiar with the Durham report? Are you familiar with the great Berrington declaration? Are you familiar with the hunter Biden laptop story? Do you know who wrote the crime bill that put more black people in prison than anything else in this country? I have to admit it's quite amusing how white supremacy is now a multiracial cause.
@@FedUpSistasounds more like opinions. Unless there is some way to reveal the innermost thoughts of all Trump supporters. Otherwise, everything he said is pure speculation.
He is confused of one thing. This what they did to the Germans, which purged the lower class. Here we are again. "Repeat in epic fashion coming to a place near you"
Cornell West has fallen in love with his academic status… Academics live in a fantasy land created by the Rockerfellers

You’ve done nothing thus far. Doesn’t stop his truth while you sheep repeatedly take the “manipulation”. Anyway don’t stop this man, vote for him
@@BluntBrazenCurt_EvolvedWHAT would voting for this lunatic do??? He won’t win but it could split the vote enough to put a corrupt traitor back in power! How foolish and blind your tantrums are. Grow up!
This dude is one of the funniest men in America today. Every time he goes on one of thes rants, I laugh my ass off.
Conservatives hate corporations and therefore hate blacks. Um, wut???
In the race to get vital resources that are becoming scarcer, you unconsciously "choose" teams that accept you (because of common traits, sometimes transformed in identity parts/ego "crutches") and try to belong to the winning/surviving teams.
And it's worsening because capitalism applied to almost everything, divide us in more numerous and smaller groups in a competition more difficult each year.
You have it right 👉 I am in agreement with your response
you described it rationally, West's description is pure hate mongering
@koekoek BILLION ?? 🤔
@Craig Scott he pointed out the connection between conservatives and white supremacists. It's hateful to tell the truth about them. Apparently...

"Alternative Facts"
allows a person to create whatever reality they choose...
truth becomes a vulgar opinion that is totally un-american and dangerous to true patriots. "The Truth" is totally UN-AMERICAN .
Trump paid $750. taxes , Biden wears a $10 thousand dollar Rolex, Obama wouldn't drink the water in Flint...
america was not built upon truth...but conquest...
total war by the wealthy against.....
everyone....
even themselves...
His absolutely right.
Mexican American here will vote for trump. I am none of whatever you just mentioned. Get your facts straight.
He must’ve went to one of those Ivy League schools or something.
Corporate globalization is, in essence, run on fascist principles. It sticks to its agenda, regardless of its popularity, and it favors a s very small subset of the population at the very top. It actively works to cancel those who oppose and criticize it, and it corners the market with the help of the government, choking small business owners. It is a fundamentally a fascist oligarchy! They disregard all established rules and national and international laws and live off bailouts and government-induced demand and spending! Those who support this system are also fascist who gaslight the vast majority of the people who are against this perverse, exploitative system!
@Liam Dawson YES! when I read thru some of the comments, many are making arguments against each other regarding intelligence & the common mind BUT corporate globalism don't care for none of this. It's the ultimate JUGGERNAUT!
Yes, and they use weak minded people like lgtbq and people of color who feel disenfranchised. Why do they feel disenfranchised? Because that’s what they are being fed through media. Who owns this media? The same global corporations that need foot soldiers to carry out their agenda. This man is grifting.
Change the TOPIC.
HOW CAN WE MAKE ALL THINGS UNITED STATES BETTER!!!👍👍👍
Dismantle it, and give more land back to the native Americans, as well as give african Americans and other exploited minorities their due. History built on straight up robbery.
He is not asking the right questions and he doesn’t understand people the way he says he does. He is a narcissist projecting his hatred and fear onto others.
