This bloke speaks the uncomfortable truth. Most people can't cope with it and it evens disgusts them so they attack him. Isn't that weird? He speaks facts. Human instincts like greed, denial, revenge, and tribalism harm civilization. Capitalism is institutionalized in government and business and worsens greed, driving inequality and resource depletion. Overpopulation strains the earth. Split thinking fosters conflict between science and mysticism. He just advocates steady-state economy for future quality of life.

Here in 2023, The Glass Castle has been banned in school libraries, thanks to the fascist maga movement.

Rick Steves for president!!

Oh yeah, Jeffersons a real American saint cuz he wrote the words "All men are created equal"? Which he clearly didn't believe since he allowed his own children to live in slavery. He was a rich Wine snob who was sick and tired of paying taxes to the Brits, so he wrote some lovely words and roused the rabble, and they went out and died for those words while he sat back and drank his wine and porked his slave girls. America's not a community. In America, you're on your own. America's not a Country, it's a Business!

Boy, this blew off course from the very start.

Hostetler Lost the Indiana primary two days ago to Messmer massively funded by AIPAC...

I had the pleasure of take everyone of Dra. Berdan Mezo American courses and even South American course. Love her teaching style and how she made learning about her passions fun. My idol for life. This wonderful women Spanish and Nahuatl is amazing. Last time I communicated with her was about 8 years ago. Hope she is enjoying her well deserved retirement.

WOW! this lecture was ahead of it's time!

what year is this?

A great historian. 24:00

What the "Victor’s History" doesn’t want you to know about Abraham Lincoln: As a lawyer, Abraham Lincoln was the highest paid corporate attorney in America and a lobbyist for the railroad industry. (He was chief council for the New York Central Railroad; then the largest corporation in the world). His 3-point advocacy for (1) “INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS” (massive government funded works projects that would be undertaken by large Northern Industrial corporations), (2) a “HIGH TARIFF” (to protect these corporations from foreign competition) and, (3) his advocacy for a “NATIONAL BANK” (a bank run by politicians that could inflate the currency to fund these projects and what Jefferson had earlier condemned as “the perfect engine of corruption”) , are what propelled Lincoln from a local politician into the presidency by this cabal of northern industrial and banking interests. Not surprisingly, his cabinet included Wm. Chase (Chase Bank), and the president of U.S. Steel. The Southern States which were the main consumers of imported steel agricultural products bore the burden of these tariffs (up to 48%). Called by the South the “Tariff of Abominations”, it effectively resulted in a massive transfer of wealth from the agricultural South to the Industrial North and was a leading cause of the secession of the Southern States from the Union. As a new country constitutionally formed by “the people of the SOVERIGN states”, the Confederacy sought to maintain ports of free trade. This would have caused a loud sucking sound as trade from foreign nations would leave high tariff northern ports for the free ports of the South to discharge their cargoes. Lincoln had said that the ONLY reason he would go to war was to “collect the imposts (tariffs)” so central to his agenda. Accordingly, Lincoln denied the right of secession upon which our independence in 1776 was founded when we seceded from the British Union, referring to the peaceful constitutional ”States Right” to secede as “insurrection”.

What a bombastic nationalistic lecture. So the defeat of the Armada is indirectly responsible for the creation of the US? I thought the aid of the French and Spanish to the Continental Congress was more decisive for the defeat of the Brits.

Thanks a lot for this very interesting lecture and with so much discoveries for me about paintings by Manet.

Excellent talk! A small correction: Switzerland taxes are less than in the USA and Switzerland does not have free health care or any "socialist" programs with the exception of subsidized higher education. I think you are confusing Switzerland with Sweden. A common American mistake.

Rick, excellent commentary on uninformed American attitudes towards other peoples, and on what the American government has inflicted on countries for decades. After living for two decades in Europe, I returned to the USA. I attempted to explain many of your same points to Americans I met. The reaction I received ranged from "You are un American" to " You are a liar" to "You are a traitor". Thank you for attempting to get the point across. You are lucky you were not strung up on the nearest redneck hangman's tree.

I love when he kindly asks to Turn off the cell phone ❤❤❤❤

This is a version of Europe which is only similar to the Europe we actually have.

The point made about the artist's relation or non-relation to the viewer is still relevant to consideration.

I am impressed by what an upbeat person Jeannette Walls is after all that she has been through.

Ferdinand Alquie's book "The Philosophy of Surrealism" and Mabille's more grab bag approach fuse together to define the sacred in Surrealism.

I love no one is seeing Donald Trump coming…

Dr.Thanos is fitting What a total quack 🦆 he celebrates the death of a Billion people And another bit of irony is Doc Death sipping from a Plastic Bottle that’s destroying the earth 🌍 😂😂😂 He’s talking about viruses at the end what an evil being

good work

Wow wow wonderful story and brave women you turned out to be and beautiful soul. O and funny.

Thank you

Very keen observation and a powerful critique.

Jeanette, you said you wouldn’t have included as much swearing had you know so many kids would read it. I don’t swear much, and my parents didn’t either, but one of the things I enjoyed about your book was that the swear words were so authentic. If my father did swear he used the same words your father swear did. We are the same age. The words in your book are different that the swear words used nowadays.

I went to the same school, Welch High School, at the time she attended. I had Spanish class with her. I didn't really know her, she always seemed intelligent to me. So glad she made her way in this world.

Cheech is a great art historian, inspiring collection

I saw The Capitol Steps In Vermont once & got to meet them as well

I’m forever grateful for her writings. So far two books

Joe McDonald will always be one of my all time favorite musicians. His band was the most psychedelic of all bands of the 60s. Electric Music For The Mind & Body is the most acid drenched LP ever released.

"There are powerful forces in America that are very happy that you happily live in a dumbed down society". This is the most important statement from Steves in this video. Think about it.

The horse's plumes stroke leaves wetted with tears.

Great, enlightening lecture about Abraham Lincoln's education on the frontier. I marvel at hearing about that part of his life.

Over 50 yrs of listeing to this song and many more. Thank you Tom.

Read your Bible, Rick! Judea and Samaria are mentioned there. We get the word Jew from Judea. Islam began in the 7th Century . Ancient Israel existed long, long before that. Jews are not planted there. We have been there for many centuries. Be careful. Don't believe propaganda. Many of those planted are Arabs who come originally from many countries. Palestine is a word invented by the Romans as they ousted Jews from that region. British showed the Jewish Star when they referred to Palestine. Please , do your homework. You are sadly misinformed about Israel. Who by the way promotes civil rights of all people. They are the very first to respond to natural disasters in any country. And no Arab child who needed medical care is ever turned away. Can you say the say for Arab countries? Absolutely not. And Israel is the only democracy in the region where Jews and Arabs serve together in the Knesset! Please, stop spreading false information. Traveling should make you wiser!
