@johnnyharris Check out the book War is a Racket by Smedley Butler.

[@OreoBambino]

Now go back to the Napoleonic wars and learn how businessman can make a fortune of wars without even selling weapons...

[@GeoLawson]

@@KS-mc5ry Sodium Fluoride is a toxic heavy metal poison that has NO health benefit at all! Calcium Fluoride on the other hand does which is NOT the stuff they put in our water and toothpaste. They put poisonous stuff like preservatives in our foods are toxic even the food itself is toxic in many cases. Which are the least of our worries these days. Sadly to say. They put aluminum in deodorant and our "modern medicine" Allopathic Medicine, that was brought to us from Rockefeller's oil WASTE byproducts with the help of Carnegie and Gates is by far the #1 leading cause of death in the world. Hands down. All the related causes of death are just labeled as Heart Disease or Diabetes. But don't tell anybody and they won't.

[@houseplant1016]

The funny thing is, every time an inventor invented a more deadly weapon, he thought it would finally end wars, because it would be too deadly to ever wage a war. Because a machine gun "would annihilateimperial armies in seconds".

Well every weapon expect nuclear weapons. The one expection there being Douglas MacArthur, good thing he was never trusted with nuclear weapons

[@foff73]

​@@Funkensturmewhy are you even watching his videos anyways?

[@Funkensturme]

@@user-zh3ow4nh3p I watched two because youtube recommended. I'm not making the same mistake anymore. He's another one in the long line of clueless people trying to provide answers and explanations on youtube, when in reality he is poorly equipped to explain anything. I'm amazed that there are many million-subscribers channels like this one. The bar really is low on youtube if you offer bad explanations to things and these bad explanations cater to the poor preconceptions of your crowd... Well, it is confirmation bias at work.

[@willzyxOfficial]

@@Funkensturme Another problem here is that the millions of followers give him "legitimacy" in return. Because how can someone with 5 million followers be wrong? With a whole team, and videos that are produced this smooth? And the whole 'working from a hipster basement' aesthetic gives it a non-mainstream, "independent voice" type vibe. Honestly I used to like some of his videos, like about how US breakfast became what it is. But recently his videos are more and more full of ads and dubious sponsorships, meaningless filler content and self-promotion, and only 30-40% of actual content. Which in cases like this one right here, isn't even exactly deep, accurate, or complete.

I work in an office in Hatton Gardens, I was walking down the road and found a plaque on a building noting the building in which Sir Maxim created the Maxim gun, it's crazy to think that one of the most destructive weapons in history was created down the road from where I work.

[@GMulls94]

@@jeromecoward9370 the whole area has a really interesting history, used to be Italian with lots of watch makers, it makes me think he set up shop there because that's where he found intricate mechanical capabilities in London.

[@BeaverChainsaw]

Maxim invented the first automatic sprinkler, installed New York's first street light system and created the technology that allowed Edison to invent lightbulbs, worked on flying machines, and yet it's the Maxim gun he's known for. When Maxim was called a quack for inventing a medicine pipe to lessen the suffering of Bronchitis, he said ''From the foregoing it will be seen that it is a very creditable thing to invent a killing machine, and nothing less than a disgrace to invent an apparatus to prevent human suffering.''

[@PNest1994]

As somebody in sales seeing a basic tactile like "well your competitors already have a solution to this problem" being used to sell weapons is eye opening and yet not surprising at all

[@anatomyuldis]

It is very simple: if you want your military industry to develop you need to have factories running constantly, in order to have them running you need to clear the stock, you need them to be developed and improved, for that you need the best engineers, who have the highest wages, therefor you need to sell as much as possible the older weapons, so you need conflicting countries. And if you can not find them them some conspiracy theories say, you need to create them. BUT usually they create conflicts by themselves.

[@user-yd9cw5kf1s]

its not necessarily that they create the wars themselves, but politicians that have large amounts of their wealth invested in military companies are incentivized to keep wars going as long as possible to increase their stocks, because war means more equipment needing to be produced and sold, which means a huge boom to companies that sell weapons. It would be easily to solve, just dont allow congress to invest in businesses that profit from war.

[@rajsharmaaaaaaaaaa]

Really appreciate your work bhai love from India ...

[@wyattjoshua4270]

So I have commented once before. I’m not a comment type of person. Reviews etc. Not my gig. But I am hyper aware of authenticity in people. You’re genuine and authentic. It’s comes across on screen in a potent way. Info and perspectives are great and often dead center. But the eyes are keys to the soul. Yours are clean and clear. Thanks. Clearly you’re curious. Hungry to learn and share. It’s refreshing. Haven’t even finished this video yet and had was compelled to share this with you brotha. You go hard content-wise, surely. But your You- your person comes across as real, sincere and genuine. No cut. Raw and yet welcoming. Just thought to say Keep It Up! Everyone can ‘see’ your surely. But some of can see YOU! And you seem like a great person. Passionate and deliberate and honest. Enjoy you Bro! Thanks really.

I was totally expecting the sponsorship to be the Cometeer coffee you poured in your glass ☕ 😄

[@gabeerwin4300]

One of my favorite things about your channel is not only the exceptional quality of the visuals and reporting. But mostly that it is presented in a mostly neutral way. This allows me to come up with my own opinions about the matter, instead of feeling like i’m being told what to think. This is the way news should be. I am endlessly thankful for you and your team ❤

[@AmeenRidwan]

Stop being sponsored by better help. They're disgusting

[@adianflores9574]

Maybe I’m a hater but the map thing was annoying to me. It took up like half the video them talking about making a map and then they show the map for 10 seconds and it doesn’t even look good. I like Johnny Harris but this video kinda annoyed me idk if anyone else felt the same.

[@XXXIIIYD]

Always enjoy watching your videos already following search party keep it up With love from 🇿🇲

[@Nitzanbenari]

The piano music at the end is beautiful.

[@klappstuhl104]

this video feels like it’s more about Johnny Harris than it’s about arms trade…

[@user-yh1nm1vy3i]

How?

[@sta0073]

How

[@modernkennnern]

It's a very human-focused storytelling, but not about him

[@klappstuhl104]

The video spends more time on showing how Johnny Harris reads a smart book than actually presenting the ideas of that book. I usually enjoy his videos and I’m fine with his person-centric style of presentation but here it is a bit excessive. I don’t need him to see reading the book, I’m interested in the books’ ideas and what Harris makes out of it.

Beautiful Channel, I cannot stress more on this, one of the few creators who put actual effort, deep thought into their content, making it a unique experience for anyone who watches this. Kudos

[@araoghlian5890]

Nicely done

[@JamesFlemingIreland]

Lenin's book "Imperialism" is essential reading on this subject

[@SophieCarr-ni1mm]

Lenin is essential reading on a lot of subjects

[@juliuszkocinski7478]

Ironic considering arms exports or straight up giveaways of USSR

[@therchas]

I didn’t know Lenin spoke on arms trading, glad to here he understood how weapons trade is captured by capitalism

[@jf6647]

😂

[@listenlistenlook]

👏 this! absolutely

[@juozasmatjosaitis4952]

I love your work, hut honestly, this is one of your worst videos. Not informative enough, not investigative, just a mash up of common knowledge extended to 22mins by using video fillers. Feel like I wasted my time by watching this. Please do better next time. We have come to expect better from this channel.

[@LucasRizzotto]

It did feel super slow paced and like it goes in circles

[@joeybrazda364]

Like his deep state video.

[@jasonkrick1614]

Every video he does is common knowledge.

[@user-cs1dk2ug7l]

Your channel has really helped me understand geopolitics a lot more. Thanks!

[@lillyhummer4997]

Just here to appreciate the editing and filming of these videos

[@MrMNo13]

I get called a Russian bot/troll for saying we need to audit Ukraine funding, and God forbid, saying elected officials shouldn't be allowed to own stock in Defense Contractors (BlackRock)

[@mbrannon]

Really sad seeing how far Johnny Harris has fallen. Half the time he is just a propaganda mouthpiece (I feel like he really suffers from not having someone to reel him in) but lying to his fans to help Better Help is actually worse because he can't even pretend to not know. Everyone knows. It's been public knowledge for ages and he's a journalist. So that means he thought about it and decided "fuck the fans I'm getting paid to help therapist I pushed on them sell their private data". I always thought Johnny meant well but all the propaganda and constant errors was just from being dumb. However, actively deciding to help a company of unvetted therapists steal and sell your data in exchange for payment proves he is actually just a bad person.

[@bdr420i]

Wow 😮your team are amazing for making all these maps ❤

[@andrewlyon9292]

Something about how you underlined each line is just relaxing

[@egyeneskifli7808]

Why haven't you mapped the Russian arms sales too?

[@Xerdoz]

These videos have just become 20% of actual information and 80% of cuts of fluff, filler material.

[@karlo916]

Dude is telling a story,its your problem you have attention span of 15 seconds

[@MrSteinman]

i actually love this style

[@antonioburke458]

It’s honestly just becoming entertainment

[@MH-hu5pi]

Even less. Like, you could shorten it to 2 minutes

[@de_sh0t114]

Yeah

[@atiyaxa]

Lord of War was just one of those movies that helped me understand the arms trade as a student. It's what pushed me to learned about disarmament and the limits international law. This is a great video and I really liked the introspective, "psychologist's chair" style introduction.

[@IIIw2]

My goal is to be similar to Lord of War in real life but in a legal way.

[@lisandrobuhk155]

Very nice Video. Very excited for part 2!!

[@mnorth1351]

Really Johnny, this is taking it a bit too far. I know YOU love maps, but making the process of making this map the through-line of this episode, and the supposedly "big reveal" at the end, is rather overblown - and consequently, underwhelming.

[@amit_up]

Exactly. This channel is focused more on aesthetics & beautiful shots.

[@vincentmansell5374]

He did say part 2 will be a deeper dive into the map so it might all come together..

[@Kumarkumar-ge6yi]

To be real...I didn't like this new way of making videos.....I just want information and facts being told....rather than showing high editing aur filming skill.. thankyou ( just my own feedback)

[@ThathurtCR]

I agree

[@Isynchromissity]

The song at the end was so beautiful

[@martinzen]

Love your content Johnny, you should produce full length documentaries at this point

[@willzyxOfficial]

The way he's going recently, you'd get a 2 hour documentary, which includes 45 minutes of sponsors and ads, 30 minutes of telling you how hard it was to produce maps, 20 minutes of repetitive reasoning why this story matters, and 25 minutes of actual content. If lucky.

These videos have gotten too shallow.

[@anonymousperson7889]

They have always been shallow. The older you get the more and more you will realize how dumb, shallow and childish the left is.

[@eloncamus7968]

[@sdagoth3037]

This video isn't lying per se, but what everyone needs to remember is that statically speaking, comparing the amount of violence in the world to the amount of people in it, we live in the most peaceful period in human history. That's became of capitalism, and the trade relationships and innovation that capitalism produced. There will always be conflict for money and power, but there's actually less of it because of capitalism.

[@jasonjurkowski7829]

And this is where Harris makes me wonder if he holds some pro-Tankie bias.

[@tacioob2337]

You're being really anachronistic, besides, capitalism has manufactured wars on every corner of the globe since postW WWII, none inside USA, but outside.

[@baller0724]

😂😂😂

[@buddychadwick]

Johnny you are so close to reading the epic book “The Prize” - super interesting video look forward to the next one

[@alexanderstrauss2742]

Hell Ya Can't wait for the part 2!!!

[@JamesOKeefe-US]

Excellent video as always! Entertaining but also informative. I appreciate the work this teams pulls together. Thanks!

[@StormBoss]

As always this video is great but I find it funny how many times the thumbnail and title changed

[@haikochan4945]

Please make a video talking about Aaron Bushnell and the significance/history of self-immolation Love your videos from Canada 🇨🇦

[@moseskamotho4371]

its also nice to see some behind the scenes on after effects

[@SKennedy88]

This has really changed my perspectives on human motivation. I'm starting to realize perspective and perception change everything and most if not all people truly believe they are doing the right thing. Kind of removes the things that divide us when we think like the person across from us. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@andreagv3]

great video, beautifully done, and with a fantastic and interesting storytelling device (via a 1932 book, which sounds like it was written yesterday, the fact you know it was written before WWII really adds gravitas and an eerie sense of doomsday prophecy to it all). Also the video is lacking the usual hype, so great job. Cheers Johny and team!

[@lenmanful]

Hey mate you and your team have a lot of talent 💪💪

[@JULRhiney]

This is one of the best channels on KZbin but not just that compendiums of invaluable information plz never stop this is the future of media

Great video! Love learning from your channel

[@brandonstivenson4600]

I enjoy all your videos, excited for part 2. 😊

[@dgrndm]

love the ae skills of that dude, pulling off from excel data into it and making it flow like that

[@jonahjeancallao6100]

Wooow, this map is perfect and the video quality is superb. 😮❤

[@iamJaski]

Love this concept of videos where you show how you arrive to a great map!

[@TheOG-GG]

Your team, your journalism, and your data collection are top-notch! Thank you so much for everything you do! ^__^

[@caiusfritz391]

Interested to see other members in this team. Even it was very short moment :D

[@beccakate8592]

I’ve had this video in my watch later for like 3 days and every time it comes up, the title has changed lmao

[@anthonymatthews20]

The video title changes are to collect analytical data to see which thumbnails and titles work best for the algorithms…
