- This show could also have been called “Violent Reflections” as Dan repurposes old work he did on the revolutionary era of the late 1960s. This is NOT a deep HH-style look at the period, but is instead a brief gaze at a potential “Past is Prologue” moment.

History is a lot scarier when it's ahead of you rather than behind in the past
I don't like how true that is, and yes, it is suddenly very scary. Existential Dread-level.
Neat.
Does that mean the future is behind us? Maybe an optimistic future at least.
@@j3kwajIf you believe the Bible, He knows the end from the beginning, so your words may ring more true than you know.
I am from Russia but run away to Kazakhstan. I understand this so well!
@@alexeyvankevich7096 Stay safe, wherever you are. It is my earnest hope that we can all stop fighting and be friends, but I'd settle for no more fighting.
Best of luck.
Finding a newly dropped Hardcore History is the best feeling in the world. Thank you Dan! Can’t wait to listen to it.
Night before my wedding. Can’t sleep. Staying up. Then this drops. God bless it. God bless Dan. Fucking love you, man. Another brilliant gift.
Congratulations on your wedding mate! I wish you a great life!
congrats!
Congrats! Remember, Its the little things. Don't take a single day for granted man.
Mazel tov!
Congratulations brother!
Dan, you scare me. I just turned 78 and you hit on all the things I've been thinking about lately. I appreciate the Santana quote because it's been ringing in my mind lately. I thought in my youth (Oh, the promise) that by now we would have solved all these problems but we're still ignoring the lessons of history. Thank you for continuing to make me think.
atleast we are consistent to a frightful degree... i suppose. i believe that if we avoid regressing like in the ancient past, then we will significantly mitigate these issues in time, try long enough and we will get it right. we have something in history that we never had before, digital information storage.
i'm young, and i've for sure doubted the government, never seeing it as perfect. sometimes my 83 year old grandpa which was involved with dealing with corruption in the airforce, mentions how when he was a youth, he saw officers and officals as these virtuous people, then he joined the airforce. i feel its a good step that atleast we acknowledge these issues easier.
@@cosmicbananas8084 information and time gaps absorbed the truth and the lies, and the ignorance. Questions could be raised by anyone and no one nearby could provide reasonable answer.. to admit you didn’t know was to be wrong.
I'm still amazed by how effectively you've made me interested in history. I never took to history classes in school. It took me a long time to have any real interest in history at all. But your series about the Khans got me hooked. And even now, despite having heard about these things long ago and being bored out of my mind, you captivate me.
You do a service to the world.
I feel this is a Common Sense episode in disguise.
I’ve been listening to all of the old Common Sense episodes again all the way back to episode 50. I am reminded how awesome Common Sense was, if only because he is genuine and not pandering to anyone. That is the biggest difference I see with commentators today. They are all pandering.
Not to mention Dan was way ahead of his time speaking of the issues he did.
I agree and I am here for it
@@jaredmello Context: I'm 24 and not from the US (not even from a developed country). Whan I was around 16-17 I started listening to Dan. I was so awstruck that I decided to listen to all his common sense podcasts starting from the start. So I listened to all programs beginning with the tail end of the Bush presidency (which at that point was 10 years back) all up to the beginning. Dan has this way of getting the hsitorical juice out of all situations and that made it very interesting even from someone that wasn't watching it in real time or even in the same country.
Today I thank that experience on my interest and understanding of the US political system and probably why I ended up as a libertarian.
@@gabrielquinteros2058 I totally get what you are saying.
@@jaredmello "commentators today"
Commentators forever lol
A future unburden by what has been .😂🎉
😅😅😅
Over are the days when we would judge according to content of character instead of color of skin... Or what is in someone's pants.
That's actually a Marxist Theory concept. It means to secure the future they must erase and rewrite the past. It's not word salad, it's 1984 Big Brother.
Freaking terrifying when you think about it
War Hawk Tuah is what I call her
Thank you Dan. I am 21 and find history fascinating I look forward to sharing some of this with my freinds and having healthy conversations where hopefully we can all make better decisions for tommorow. Stay safe
Ya know, I wasn't THAT worried until I listened to this. Thanks, Dan 😅
If you've been paying attention to current events, and you weren't already worried, you're a knuckle dragging moron.
History can't definitively tell you what and when. But I can give you examples of what could happen.
Now that I have the house I am back at university to become a historian. It all started with Blueprint for Armagedon. Dan kept saying, "I'm not a historian," and I wondered what he meant by that. It has been a long journey for me to find out why he said that, and what it means to be a historian. Dan also put me onto great writers like Barbara Tuchman, who is a great inspiration of mine. A solid argument for the humanities is made by Martha C. Nussbaum in her enlightening work 'not for profit: why democracy needs the humanities'. I suggest anyone with kids, or even if you are a kid yourself, read this and understand it. Thanks Dan, if I ever publish a book I will be sure to send you a copy 💜
I’m just now reading A Distant Mirror. Barbara Tuchman is great.
"Do the means justify the ends..?"
I'd argue, there is never an end, in the sense that time marches on, and on.
I would argue that there are ends, short-term ends
Every world ends
I'm a barber and myself and the clients are always chatting history. Just yesterday I must've spend an hour on a cut just discussing revolution and young peoples sentiment. I'm only 40. Something that always stuck with me is you can't close windows on a revolution when you get tired of it. Don't think they realize this.
I literally live on the street and there is no realistic financial pathway to a life that doesn't involve what is essentially slavery working 2 jobs for the rest of my life. You are out of your mind if you think we have something to lose now that homelessness has been criminalized while homelessness is our only option if we seek to live instead of waste our entire life working for some boomers who will never give us anything or leave us anything, who not only pull up the ladder but obstruct progress in favor of the old ways. We see this on a National level, in aerospace, in the navy, in industry, everywhere you look you see a country that has outsourced all its jobs so some old man can have a vacation, maybe go to Israel or on a cruise... When they come to arrest me for homelessness, or unsafe camping, or whatever terminology they want to invent to enslave me, that's when you're going to see the streets turn red.
@@JustGoAndFly with yours and people like yours red and you think theyll bat an eye. Give the corpos an excuse. If you think you'll be on the winning side of this revolution...my man.
@@JustGoAndFlymaybe move yo a more affordable area.
@@drumyogi9281 no such thing, more affordable area only means less work available, more rural, rural places even worse because homeless can't blend in. your pie in the sky grass is greener housing cheaper place does not exist.
Yeah! Very true and real. An when fed perpetually the momentum destroys and consumes everything. Like a serpent consuming it's own tail.
The French & Russian revolutions were not streight forward. I'm 42, a history buff. People, young people need to really understand because our history books don't at all explain in detail what occurred. One has to search and dig and read to understand true horror.
Drunk on blood lust and killing
with no regard for life of any kind. With no reason or reasoning with.
Combined with paranoia and a hooray for me f♤♡k you attitude.
To where the question of,
'To what end' has no answer.🔥
My heroes when I was growing up were the Vietnam vets I knew. My uncle "Big John" deMaine, a grunt in the first Cav. My cousin Captain Dan Ebert who was killed by a boobytrapped artillery round; his men loved him. My friend's two brothers, one of whom was a Huey pilot who got the Silver Star for rescuing the crew of another helicopter that was shot down, another brother who was a forward observer who had to call in fire on his own position when it was overrun. I got to wear my uncle's boony hat for a summer, the coolest article of clothing I ever had. I still think those guys are the coolest ever.
Sacrifice for the MIC.
So brave.
So I’m assuming the guy who called air support on his position went back to the mud?😔
So did you figure out WTH they were doing in Vietnam or no?
@@nishbrown Sounds like you never got a Silver Star.
@@MyBoomStick1 I think it was artillery, not air.
Dan, you need to make podcast about the clash of two worlds that was the discovery and "conquest" of America. How Moctezuma was friends with Cortez and even commended his sons to him after his death. Even today there is nobility with the Moctezuma last name. There is so many incredible stories you need to take a look at. Pandemic of 90% death, how incredible it was to live in a crashing world. And the mystery of each man between cortez and Moctezuma meant to each other with an alien civilization. Lastly, love your work
A descendent of Moctezuma created the , our most respected police force in Spain
you might find the book “the devil in the new world” interesting
@@fernandez3841 I didnt know that! Theres many stories such as how Cortez found a spaniard survivor who learnt maya from 15 years before his journey, basically the only guy in the world who could speak spanish and maya at the time, then found Malintzin who could speak maya and nahuatl, who also had her own game and scheme within this world changing event.
Good call the “encounter” in the America’s. Black Death would definitely listen hours on that too ☠️ anyway great show
He doesnt "need" to do anything.
The revolutions will continue until memory improves.
but the thing about collective memory is that its very nature is closer to alzheimer than actual memory, so...
@@Yarblocosifiliticoso they’ll continue, I guess
This a twist on an old classic of “the beatings will continue until morale improves?”
Revolutions will continue forever because they are of societal evolution.
Until greed and apparently human nature gets improved.
When a person tells you something never happened, when you personally saw it happen, don't vote for that person. When a party insists that history is theirs to rewrite, disavow that party.
What if both of our wonderful parties do such a thing?
When both parties exist to manipulate and propagandize their constituents, something is seriously wrong.
Don't 'avow' ANY party. Make your vote be earned. Party politics is for the pols, not the folks.
@@DaleCovert well f*kn said!
@@jon4139 Youre practicing whataboutism. "Well what about x" Yes both sides have bad people, but one side promotes bad policies like abusing children.
Thumbs up if you immediately thought of the Princess Bride when Dan said "don't get involved in a land war in Asia".
I have a degree in history, with a concentration in comparative revolutions and German history along with a minor in German language. I studied the Weimar Republic a LOT in school, and what we’re seeing right now is really looking like the lead up to similar events that lead to WW2.
Watch Europa: the Last Battle
What a perfect time in history for a new Hardcore History! Thanks Dan!
Thank you Dan, for re-expressing what we all unconsciously knew in our suppressed memory but are so fucking distracted by the dystopia we are in. 1968 my birth year. God help us.
Bad luck, you missed the Cuban missile crisis, JFK assassination of MLK assassination, RK JNR assassination. Caused a bit of breath sucking at the time.
“God help us” sounds so hopeless.
We got out of it then and we’ll get out of it now.
Then vote out Republicans because they're the ones causing the problems.
@@Hanging_Brain
We are not all getting out of it. Very few will be untouched by violence or worse. Those in charge can't keep the dam from breaking. They filled it up on purpose.
We all hold a torch. All of our torches light back as far as we live. And when our torch is extinguished, so is the memory. This is when History begins. And when you're the oldest person in your clan, you hold The Torch.
great comment!!
Unfortunately, I think a lot of us don't know what to do when the social contract breaks down, and we look at our fellow countrymen and see nothing but spite staring back at us. When we no longer share any values at all, when there's no unifying set of basic principles or unifying events or symbols that we can all get behind even if we disagree elsewhere. That's where we are. I look at the "other kind" of Americans and see absolutely nothing I recognize or want any part of, and I'm pretty sure they feel exactly the same about me. And worse, while I'm not happy about it, I think it's dangerously naive to deny that. We're in an uncomfortable knot I don't see a happy way to untie.
I think that the media keeps us all divided. We all have more in common than we think but are kept in a spiral of anger and outrage because of the way things are framed by the media on all sides. I wish we could all have open conversations but there is too much mistrust and anger to actually come together. America isn’t a lost cause, although a National Divorce seems inevitable if things don’t change. Until a majority of people can find patience, empathy, forgiveness and rekindle a sense of appreciation and gratitude for one another, the future looks bleak. imo.
Well said. While this is likely an overgeneralization, my opinion is this: conservatives mostly want to maintain tradition and morality, liberals (leftists) are hellbent on tearing down tradition and are fiercely immoral.
@nurmakaz That you can't differentiate between Liberals and Leftists only proves you're unequipped to even understand the issue let alone cast prescriptions. Todays rank & file Democratic politician and voter are basically Reaganites. The furthest Left we have in government are Bernie and AOC, and they're barely to the left of Kennedy.
I don't understand how people who believe the Democratic Party is in any way "leftist" even consumes this podcast. Presumably you're all "fans of history" yet get the basic political alignment of our current day so utterly wrong.
All knots can be untied.
@@dominicyelin I said no *happy* way to untie. There's always Alexander's solution to difficult knots, but if that's what it comes to we're in for a very rough period of history.
Got off work to see Dan uploaded amazing. Just ate lunch now about to smoke n vibe out to one of my favorite story tellers
I have now watched all of your Hardcore History videos, Dan. Full length series, Adendums(Adendae?) and interviews... everything you've done that is available on the interweb. I genuinely feel i have been given the best possible education on the historical subjects you have addressed on your HH videos.
Sat here in the UK so Yh great perfect timing 😮
The clash seems inevitable the tension unbearable
Thanks as usual Dan. The high wizard of history.
" This is the way it was and will be, this way and not some other way" - The Judge
Amazing book!
I see your one liner and raise you a paragraph:
"The judge smiled. Men are born for games. Nothing else. Every child knows that play is nobler than work. He knows too that the worth or merit of a game is not inherent in the game itself but rather in the value of that which is put at hazard. Games of chance require a wager to have meaning at all. Games of sport involve the skill and strength of the opponents and the humiliation of defeat and the pride of victory are in themselves sufficient stake because they inhere in the worth of the principals and define them. But trial of chance or trial of worth all games aspire to the condition of war for here that which is wagered swallows up game, player, all."
- McCarthy, Blood Meridian
@@Actaeon-l6d" It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge. War endures. As well ask men what they think of stone. War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner. That is the way it was and will be. That way and not some other way"
McCarthy captured something in your paragraph and that one that I could not unsee or deny once I saw it ... schopenhauer- suffering of the world essay, Pessoa- book of disquiet are the only other 2 that have done the same. McCarthy had a very similar quote in No country at the end - " but it is not some other way it is this way " ....
@@JayTX. Hi! Could you explain better the relation you are establishing between McCarthy and Pessoa's Book of disquiet?
"You want it to be one way, but it's the other way". Marlo Stansfield.
The difference between the 60's and 70's was that they had to print their own magazines and newspapers. With the advent of social media, propaganda is spoon fed to the general public faster than ever before. It's exasperating the issues people have with each other because it's now unavoidable.
Aww hell, Dan. Don't you think it's just Miley on the wrecking ball? She rides the ball towards, and through, the metaphorical buildings known as normal society, laughing maniacally and calling out the battle cry, "Burn it all down!" Because, because, why not?
But one day, Miley will be 57 and a superdelegate, and she will scream to security, "Do something about the protesters, they are ruining the entire convention." Because, because, that wrecking ball is really a pendulum.
I don't know about you, but General Milley naked on a wrecking ball is horrifying.
Why Miley? Was it just because she is the only one anyone recognizes as riding a wrecking ball? I feel I am missing important context on this one.
Oh the tortured rantings of the oppressed.
oh yes the oppressed millionaire peerage tw#t, yawn
Patton and LeMay knew history and if we would’ve listened the world would be a lot safer🇺🇸

My granddaughter just graduated from UC Berkeley with a Major in History. I am so proud and worried for her job future.
Well that all depends on what she was taught.
Was she taught a one sided view of history that we see being taught all over college campuses or was she fortunate enough to be taught both sides of history.
If it's the former and she's OK with going along with revisionist history she'll be fine.
@@workhorse7134 Since this is a grandparent, maybe they remember a time when a history degree from Berkeley was something to be proud of.

He's way to old and brainwashed to even think about touching that subject.
@@sonnyb7612 yeah I didn’t know he did a podcast on current events. Holy hell he is out of his mind.

@@sonnyb7612 just like my dad. Won’t accept it. Blames it on a generation that just entered the work force and the bad orange man. Apparently Trump is the most evil man ever😱😱💀
@Eqaulis I've tried to redpill a couple older relatives and it only works so much. The reality of the world will have to hit them like an iron fist instead of a velvet glove for them to listen.
Spot on Dan - Never thought of it like that before but now that you say it, my immersion in history has indeed made me a more 'formidable person'. This in combination with reading, writing, and comprehension, will stack to form another underrated but incredibly formidable skill.
General knowledge.
The title is grim, but HOORAY for new Dan anyway
Through the significance of the passage of time we will be unburdened by what has been… and that hyeena can go back to the hole where it once been
Yeah, her cackle rather sounds like a hyeena's when I think about it
Revolutionaries that grow up, vote against their own interest, and then the interest of their children.
Pretty unique generation.
manicured revolutionaries
@@finished6267 I was reading about 'mods' the other day. They dressed like Fred Jones from Scooby Doo. Baby Boomers who rebelled against stingy parents with rampant unbridled consumerism. Is it any wonder the world went the way it did?
I do political surveying and the general consensus, at least around here, is that people are frightened. Economic disparity, sky rocketing taxes, criminals arent be prosecuted, people are losing their homes, they arent able to feed their families. More tax increases expected alongside higher energy regulations which is going to further stress on supply lines and the economy. Many people have cried with me. They don't know what they can even do. Jerrymandering prevents their votes from being heard, local politicians, union reps, schools are totally corrupt. Parents are getting arrested for speaking out, people are being arrested for protecting their homes and families.
@@LittleIggy2010 If your a Traitor to the USA.
@@LittleIggy2010I’m pretty sure we’re past the point where an election would help.
Of course history is important.
If it wasn't, the politicians, the media, those who control the search engines, etc., wouldn't be constantly trying to "re-imagine" what is in it, and what it tells us.
Knowing dan and reading that title had me jump out to grab headphones, looks like my walk extended by a couple hours
Thank you Dan for continuing to put these videos out!
One factor that keeps all of us on an endless "breaking news" treadmill is the advent of continuous social media. Imagine how RFK's announcement of the King assassination might have gone had everyone in that room had something like a smartphone.
Whatever we think or believe is constantly being "overwhelmed by events", and we have no time absorb what happened before the next post rimshots our awareness on a new vector.
I'm not sure humans could handle someting like 1968 stoked by social media.
You quoted stats for african americans in the Vietnam war.
You were wrong,
88.4% of the men who actually served in Vietnam were Caucasian; 10.6% (275,000) were black; 1% belonged to other races. races
Dan (love your work) but you present a master class in fence sitting.
He out-and-out endorsed Biden in 2019.
I’m definitely in the process of becoming a history fan and it’s because of Dan!
A revolution of the sun. A seasonal circle ⭕️ ♻️.
The effort we put in to making a mess.
If we aren't careful it can get this bad. Thank you dan quality content as always.
It is bad. The democrats rigged the last election and just coup’d the current President
My first time listening to one of your videos, I enjoyed it, very informative.
As soon as Biden drops Dan takes to Twitter and says the DNC should hold an open convention in Chicago, a week later he does a podcast about the 1968 open DNC in Chicago --the absolute worst case scenario for an open convention. Never change Dan.
They don't need to do an open convention...maybe if the DNC chose someone who wasn't already on the ticket but Kamala was party of the primary votes
Gotta love getting home from a long day at work and seeing a new video from Dan first thing when you open RUclips.
Another enlightening quote (I paraphrase): to remain ignorant of history is to remain always a child. M.T. Cicero. We are a "civilization" of children. Governed by a political class of children.
And almost everyone is pretending they're not children.
Your presentation of the rhythmic parallels is eerily prescient and utterly fantastic. Thanks ever much
Shane was right. History does lead to a certain way of looking at things well if you pay attention.
Also, the baby boomers might be the absolute worst gen.
_Might?_ Many would say they have won the big trophy and are jealousy guarding it.
They had it all and chose greed over making the world a better place. It's hard to blame them though. They are products of their environment. A culture of consumerism and hyper-individualism will produce the worst human beings. I doubt subsequent genrations are any better. I was born in 94 and I still see ppl my age with a boomer mentality. Society and cultural attitudes have to change for something better to happen.
They will go down as 'the failed generation'.
Boomers counting their paper wealth and fake “home equity” are likely going to experience a very tough pill to swallow. This economy isn’t going to collapse. It’s already collapsing.
Pretended that America was magic soil and gave away their children's future and Society for some cheap labor and foreign food. And all this after they were given the perhaps greatest, predominantly homogeneous society in the history of mankind. I cannot think of any other people and all of history who so happily encouraged the replacing of their own people and dooming their descendants.
Its gonna be a good day! Dan posted!
Studying the humanities does not automatically make you a "more formidable person," that only comes from "battlefield experience" so to say.
It would be fine to study the Humanities but it should be restricted to only being a minor and not having an entire major dedicated to it. These subjects were once thought to round out an education, not so much as an education itself. It is a shame we keep letting kids enroll in subjects like Political Science or Psychology and encourage them to take out student loans so they can end up working jobs that often do not require any degree.
Next time you're sitting in a restaurant ask your waiter where they went to college. It really has become a cruel joke that these folks have this crippling debt and not much to show for it.
Holding a gun doesn't make you a man
Thank you Dan, thought provoking message, let’s hope wiser heads prevail
I’ve learned so much from you, thank you brother.
Thank you Dan this was the most interesting thing I’ve listened to in quite awhile.
I miss common sense so hearing you touch on Modern events even if it wasn't a deep dive or a deep examination of current events is still pretty nice. I do miss common sense, I respect why you don't do it anymore but I do miss it.
I was hoping this was for the French revolution!
Daaannnn!
If you want a good podcast covering the whole french revolution I reccomend the Revolutions podcast by mike Duncan. You can start on the french revolution
Yaaaaaaay dan!!!! Im drunk this time!!!!!
Thank you Dan, for the 60s history...to my childhood memory, you are correct.
I like to quote Iron Maiden: Blood is freedom's stain.
Would love to see a history of Sudans war it’s quite interesting
How is nothing as exciting like seeing a video dropped by Carlin on your page.
The extremes of the human experience are not something I want the people I love to live through. I want as many people as possible to understand it, to hopefully avoid that eventuality.
Thank you for what you do Dan.
i listen to history podcasts to remind myself how lucky i am that i didn't have to live in those dreary old times.
like the 60s.
We live in a worse time than the 60s
every single person who believes that is part of the problem.
This is some neocon fever dream, you're so close to understanding reality yet hold yourself back.

Thank you for your work. I am not sure I actually paid the $1 per episode, but I tried to pay up after my income increased : ) Thank you for asking us to think and remember. You give me a very slight hope for the future. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and accepting criticism from Right, Left, Liberal, Conservative... and so many others. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Thanks for trying to teach us to remain quiet, to listen, look, and consider. You may not be a historian but thanks for sharing your historical observations.
This was fascinating to listen to
I find the parallels between’68 and now incredibly interesting. Great episode!

YES! VIVA LA REVOLUTION! And I watch the video to find out if it is a good idea.

Good point.
When the US dollar implodes, a process many (myself included) argue is already underway, the global domino effect will be second only to the birth of Jesus Christ for severity of impact and longevity of impact. Whether the dollar hyper inflates to oblivion or is sidelined by so many BRICS-type alternatives that it becomes irrelevant, that period will stand as a chasm like the period between the fall of Rome and the Renaissance
I worked for Tom Sticht, at ABC Inc. He was on the phone occasionally with his former boss Robert McNamara
The world needs this right now...
Dan,
What a kick.
1968: I, 18 years, am a concert "security" person at Stonybrook University in New York. No interview required.
MC5 is on the bill. I forget now who else was on the bill, maybe Traffic. I barely knew MC5's work at that time.
There were way more kids wanting in than had tickets - way more. And they were 60's style agitated.
All of us security were called to the lobby to (who knows what?) the riot at the lobby doors. Serious mass agitation. Things being thrown, folks packed up to the glass doors.l across a wide lobby.
I recognized the MC5 guys immediately as central instigators! Sorry but I forget the chant the players were encouraging exactly but it was probably a mix of free the people and let us in!
Most of my security cohort had no idea it was them leading the chanting. I didn't spread the word beyond my *sub cohort, the hippies, given my support for their wildness. I don't think the actual authorities knew. MC5 played both of their sets.
*When possible we let folks in without tickets, but you had to keep it on the down low.
Up the humans!
Thank you. Watching from Alaska.

Almost feels like a little Common Sense episode and I am delighted to hear it.
Seems to me revolutions have a continous cycle, just like empires rising and falling.
Never did I think I would get the gift of Dan speaking of contemporary adjacent topics. I feel teased almost too. Regardless you only get better and better Dan. You have made a history junkie out of me, or rather, uncovered the one that was always there
For all those who live in comfort who criticize the appeasement of Hitler. They all lived through the horrors of WW1 and they all told themselves never again. So shut up. You all live in comfort and safety and have never experienced real war.
No. Everyone has a right to criticize history. But they should also realize WHY it happened. That is what learning from history is. It should be criticized, understood and remembered. That's the only way we can learn from history and not fall into the same situation.
i've been waiting. Now the wait is over. Let's get started!
Revolutions are not preferred, but sometimes the revolutionaries don't get a choice. Part of why there's a revolution.
I always go back to hearing Gracchus talk to the public and the citizens not having a plot of land anymore. We've run into that again with no signs of improving.
Never have so many (America/the West) had it so good and yet still suffer under the delusion that their lives are so hard, unjust, and unfair that they can believe that killing their own countrymen would somehow improve their situation. As if some glorious Left or Right utopia would be formed and last longer than a second or 2wo.
Imagine doing so well, well enough to afford to stock up on weapons, ammo, food, supplies, and even build disaster shelters just in case the SHTF while so many people are starving to death.
Fear makes people do crazy man!
Thank you so much for this episode.
Wow i was expecting my playlist to play another past Addendum video then you mentioned current events I JUST FREAKED OUT ive been listening all day. (All night) 🎉❤😂
The amount of dan I'm getting is fantastic, have to go back and check out the other addendums I missed
Thank you, Dan. Made my day.
Dan is talking, everyone shush, shush , shush. Visceral stuff my man
Yea if you don’t concentrate his stupidity will drain your brain cells dry of any actual intellect
Excellent content 🔥
Love your observations, Dan. May I just add... (b.1956) Yes, the social media giving voice to so many differing points of view is DEFINATELY to the advantage of today's Revolutionaries. Those of us who wanted peace, equality and a better America were walled off thinking one was alone in those views unless you happened to be at universities or in the Robert Sheer loop at the time. ALSO, I think it's relevant that the US economy had just delivered the benefits of the post WW2 to a thriving middle-class ie. our parents. It made one feel even more isolated if you wanted to believe that something was "rotten in Denmark". TODAY, everyone in the world can see that the US economic experiment has FAILED its middle and lower classes. Yes, the time has come. Viva la revolution!!!! There are Boomers who will march as well. We've waited all our lives.
I don’t mean to be rude, but March for what?
Lol
Great talk. Captivating. Timely. Wise.
I have indeed worried as of late, that just the assassination attempt on Trump itself, will be enough for things to escalate, even though it wasn't successful.
Everybody's tired, pissed, and poor.
Only Boomers Right Wingers think that who didn't read the Shooter was Republican. And think everything is a COnspiracy.
Lol I love watching that view count tick up. We are gathering once again.
Hi guys😂😂😂
“We gel.”
Hell yeah brother time to kick my stinky working feet up and absorb some knowledge
