Great video. Epistocracy is looking mighty appealing lately here in the US. I’d be for this: You earn one vote if you can pass an 8th grade Civics test. Nothing too intense. But I’d bet 90% of current voters wouldn’t even show up.

Very thanks teacher for nice explanation

I subscribed immediately

Any idiot can call themselves a wise man, and plenty of charismatic idiots have convinced millions of others they are wise. We have democracy because WE are the ones who die in war, WE are the ones who pay the taxes and WE are the ones who have to live with the consequences of the law or government interventions. We decide our own fate because when an out of touch king who called himself a wise man decided for us it was a tyrannical shitshow that could'nt run properly. The people holding power not only makes moral sense, but in a round about way is supposed to end up being ruled by the wise. The population votes in men who have the intelect, vision, and drive to help the country into a better future. At least thats the idea. Thats why we have a democratic republic

Yeah this was proper. Subbed and subbed.

“International banker” lol

when will there be a part 3?

Amazingly explained!!

A king is more of a servant of the people rather than simply an overlord or their ruler, for no king has ever sought the destitution of their own nation, therefore, the state as a means to achieve victory, any that do become tyrants can be removed from power by his family, other noble and the Church, or another nation, those raised to be better men seek to safeguard the nation, the people and establish the need infrastructures that future generations will inherit, its natural system of governance that seeks to prepare the generational progress in structural sense, as in 2+2=4 NOT 22, A Republic is only as strong as its people are, however, democracy breeds demagogy which in turn allows the rise of an oligarchy, this, in turn, creates an imbalance in the power systems, where the finances, resources and means of governance become trapped or diluted their for weakening the country from within, this creates power struggles, thus we get with Marius Sula Caesar & Octavian, all of which were dictators, competent ones that, until the rise of Napoleon, a very competent tyrant one at that, Hitler, Stalin, Tojo, Tito, Ceacescu & Mao, a horrible tyrant and incompetent dictator, if you have an oligarchy, which once again seems to be the next form of governments which in turn will turn into a modernized bastardized form of aristocracy, ala the Industrial Barons & Banker Clans, thus we get the English Civil War, the French Revolution and the Russian Revolution - Civil War, as for America, what started as a return to pre-Imperial ROME turned out to be a disaster,

Back then parliament had ab-so-lu-te-ly-no-thing-to-do-with-"the"-"people"! That's a modern lore!

I think.a limited democracy is preferable

Please direct me to your comments on hiding behind civilians while keeping kidnapped civilians in tunnels in Gaza

I don't know how I feel about Just Stop Oil. On one hand, I wish they didn't ruin that painting. That was really mean. On the other, I can't help but feel how insignificant the loss must be, compared with the destruction of entire cities and nations, such as Venice and Tuvalu. How much art and culture would be lost if flooding in the Basilica di San Marino, not to mention the museums of Venice, fell into disrepair, or once, not if, the people of Tuvalu are scattered? I guess I would object to their actions on the grounds of how much they've really accomplished. I think that they could be using their time better, maybe through guerilla gardening or obstructing construction vehicles and oil tankers specifically, to slow specifc destructive projects. To me, Just Stop Oil is as effectual as an awareness campaign, but as obnoxious as direct action, and that they should just commit to direct action. Edit: They didn't even ruin the painting. I should've watched ahead.

I love this idea of the law having to prove it's worth to the public, rather than demanding submission as an inherent obligation. I believe that all laws and all institutions should should serve the greatest share of humanity possible, to the greatest extent possible, and if they fail to do so they should either be reformed or abolished. Respect those not mean an unquestioned subordinance to authority, but mutual respect between people and customs which serve a positive purpose.

great video! I appreciate this and your clear breakdown of arguments justifying war.

Murder and killing are different motives. I wonder how an A.I. war would classified or the use A.I. war robots? Thank you.

“He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.” ~Albert Einstein

Law is deadly force it is up to the individual to carry their cross and decide how far they are willing to go. BOOM!

all's fair in love and war

Dr Blunt always keeps it real

I love being a republican!

Boris Johnson but with a conscience? That's like saying an astronaut that doesn't go into space!

can't wait to watch this

Hi Dr Blunt. Thank you so much for explaining this subject. I'm studying Political Theory and I still don't fully understand the relationship between positive freedom and totalitarianism and/or similar regimes. I think I got confused when I read the sections about "status" and "Sarastro's temple"

The government dictators imposed a jab mandate upon us, thereby violating our freedom of choice. Refusing it was unacceptable to them, and punished. Communism cloaked beneath an external facade of "democracy".

It is one of those things that make up deciding factors within the equation determining whether particular persons life is even worth living.

I am so happy that I stumbled across this channel! Funny and smart host, and also a great communicator. Thank you for making these videos on Republicanism.

Hmmmmm... Anti-Masonic, anti-Catholic, anti-"international banker", and anti-communist conspiracies u say ..? Ya all four of those groups like to make the paranoia accusation huh.

I really like your videos. And I became interested in republicanism. However, it seems to me that it contradicts itself at a specific point. From what I understand, democracy can only be maintained if there is a network of shared beliefs and non-interference from arbitrary power. However, how to establish this network of belief? Who will establish which are the best beliefs to be shared? Doesn't this necessarily have to be an imposition? Going deeper, doesn't the government impose its will on citizens from school? Don't parents also impose their will? I know the word of the day is "responsibility," the government and parents can't do as they please. Because if they do, they will be punished, but who chose this punishment? And this only works if the system discovers these infractions...

It would make sense if it was Homelander

Republicanism seems a bit flawed. A part from non domination - the arbitrary power of someone else - it hasn't got any intrinsic values. I'd say that the Libertarian Left, with Hillel Steiner, is more to my liking. Better both. In juxtaposition. Like Thomas Paine.

Parliamentarian democracies, such as my native Sweden, don't have checks and balances. Hence the parliament reigns supreme. It sucks.

Because global poverty is "designed" so the MNCs and Rich Countries can benefit from the poor as their global market. I can't blame the MNCs and Rich Countries to do so, because they are opportunistic. My question is, can you make a book that outcrop the ways, how is a poor country can become a Rich Country or escape poverty? We knew that Singapore was poor back then, but now it is become a Rich Country in southeast Asia. I belief if you write that book, your book will become the standard manual book for many countries and societies to escape poverty. I belief the richer the poor countries can lead to the richer the MNCs and existing Rich Countries.

woah just found your channel, AMAZING thoughts.

Complete nonsense

Promo*SM 😴

Did you mean federal districts? What about 2 tiered justice system? What about globalist agenda 2030,WEF? Dude you live in a nice protected bubble.

democracy dont seem to accept personal decision , democracy utilise popularity to decide for someone else and that nazi

"Conspiracy Theorist" is a pejorative term used for discrediting criticism and avoiding criminal liability.

Conspiracies do not exist. Therefore, everyone convicted by the courts of conspiracy has been a victim of a miscarriage of justice.

It's almost like we all realize something isn't right, but dunno what to do about it

4:39 omg so funny

You are mush, you make me sick.

We aren’t a democracy we’re a republic Dr.

Conspiracy theories because of all the conspiracies. Democrats against democracy. Good man

"What is a conspiracy theory ?" For real ? We are still stuck at that ? Let's see how hard it is to 'define' "conspiracy theory". Conspiracy theory. Conspiracy theory.... It's a theory about a possible/potential conspiracy. Theories are helpful in science because they help find answers. There we go. That was fucking easy.

January 6 was the government!

Yeah.. Like US government planting CIA and FBI in social media platforms. What do u call that?

who starts a sentence with "however"?
