You spelled "lays down the BS" wrong.

Intelligent man. Don't get many of them these days.

[@jekonimus]

WRONG.... SAD... :-p soo true ^^

[@solidaritytime3650]

I don't think that's true. We have more intelligent people in the world today than at any time in human history. It's just that a smaller proportion is in the US.

"More black males in the prison system than in the education system" There will be a price to pay for that but it won't be the 1% who pay it.

[@goodgood9955]

It's up to the blacks themselves to decide where they want to be, school or prison. The Koreans, Chinese and Jews decide school. Simple.

@@goodgood9955 Show me documentation where Koreans, Chinese and Jews endured a 250-year ban from higher education the way Blacks did. Poverty and illiteracy is generational the same way wealth is. Simple.

It's 2023 and this man was *spot on.* What have we learned since this lecture as Americans? *Absolutely nothing* apparently. The situation has _only_ gotten worse.

[@doublesushi5990]

agreed... sure we "all" have "smartphones" but nothing much has changed.

[@AlbertRossvids]

This video should not be 6 minutes. Should be at least half an hour or an hour cause this guy could go on and on, he only scratched the surface.

Albert Ross Read the damn description lol

[@kevindecapite2922]

Netflix has a documentary that goes deeper into this issue, particularly from the black persons & slavery perspective (it's called "13th"): www.imdb.com/title/tt5895028/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

My thoughts are exactly the same.

Jesus, what did I just hear?! The world fu-kin sucks.

[@EcoNationalSyndicalist]

An alternative to prison is needed. Community service is a much better option. A last resort should be a detention dormitory (which is what I would rather call Norway’s prison system since it’s not much of a prison). Keeping humans in cages like circus animals (especially in compulsory uniforms) is immoral. #abolishprisons

[@momobobo123]

But you are speaking with good, moral, human rights based intentions. Those prisons don’t come from that place. They come from a place of pure evil.

[@hyzercreek]

The crimes they committed were immoral.

[@edpad5824]

Please understand he's a mathematician with a focus on history and linguistics. Just read Bertrand Russell who is still to me a mind fuck. He'll bring u up to the 20th century because he was the eminent scholar. Chomsky is his successor. Their minds are historicaly and mathematicaly entrenched in antiquity and at the same time, they're spilling the beans on modern mass-media control, which is why both Noam & Bertrand were treated in the US as an aside historically. I.E., Bertrand's book were initially banned in the US...

[@johnz8843]

People need education opportunities, hope and decent jobs. Prisons are secondary and ought not be for profit. Big mistake. But I don't have an overly optimistic view of human nature, though it is definitely malleable toward the better. But prisons aren't going away.

[@leroynimrod2193]

Read "The Celling of America" by Paul Wright, a very enlightening look at the prison-industrial complex.

We should never say "we." "We" don't cause these miseries, a small minority of leaders do. Call them "Them," "The Government," or "The Americans," anything but "We." They need to be treated the way they treat the rest of us i.e. they need to be marginalized, treated with contempt, and defanged.

So prisons are not needed ?? Questionable judgment on this topic

[@goodgood9955]

@@jamesdoe3713 so, what is his point?

[@Chris.4345]

Prisons are a symptom and a component of a complex. Technically, a needle is “needed” to main line heroin. But if you don’t consume the drug, the needle is no longer needed. The vast majority of crime can be attributed to the effects of poverty, untreated mental health issues, drug abuse and so on. And the thesis is that there is no simple replacement for the prison system unless these causal issues are addressed in a fundamental way. There are many arguments about how or if that can be done.

Probally pov of how the %1 sees these people. Freudian slips aswell. But hey, I've been in a developing country and these people are the definition of SUPERFLOUS. (Me included 😐)

[@paulfrancis4227]

He was speaking the view of the “masters of the universe”, as he sometimes dubbed them. Of course that wasn’t his view, in any “how the world ought to be” sense. It is/was his deft reading of the world as it is, spoken with crisp and succinct, gentle sarcasm.

[@catsaresocute650]

That's an interresting view. Not accuarte, but valuable I guess.
