But if you use the word "welfare" that number drops to 30%21·2 days agoYes, we should all be highly critical of our governments, especially our politicians and the military (paid puppets of the oligarchy).
Building up an independent working-class movement should be our priority.

The text of the convention states that these weapons “kill or maim civilians, including women and children, obstruct economic and social development… impede post-conflict rehabilitation and reconstruction (and) delay or prevent the return of refugees and internally displaced persons… for many years after use.”
However, Iran, Israel, Russia, Ukraine and the United States have not joined the treaty. While the US halted production in 2008 and converted many stockpiles, it has maintained the right to deploy such munitions in certain conflict scenarios.
In 2023, after prolonged debate, the US transferred cluster artillery shells to Ukraine for use against Russian forces, as Kyiv accused Moscow of deploying similar weapons in the ongoing conflict.[1]

I do have a community for his show.
I only post viral or interesting interviews that I think people should watch and not be afraid to listen to.
To restate, I am not afraid to listen to and learn from non-status quo sources or dissidents.
Feel free to see my communities and videos I share.
I try to avoid self-built echo chambers and self-censorship, as we all should strive to achieve.

Guy is no better than the propaganda machine he claims to be against.
The video went over the ‘misinformation’ smear by the MSM.
Putting aside conspiracy and conspiracy theories.
Again, it is political tribalism.
Divide and conquer strategies work to continue to divide the working class.
In this case, it was another of the “are you for or against [insert boogeyman]” (Joe Rogan/COVID restrictions).

Well, the video explains how Rogan was on ‘the left’ to a degree (when he supported Bernie’s populist policies).
The mainstream media propaganda works; that is why they spend so much on media and politics.
Divide and conquer: the working class is always being divided with political tribalism; another example would be the duopoly.
Joe Rogan advocated for working-class issues, nowhere near what Bernie Sanders spiel is, but they were populist issues.
Now, we know the Bernie Sanders experiment failed, or he only wanted to go so far, similar to Justice Democrats.

They are all capitalist and imperialist governments, but the United States has relied on forever wars to enrich our oligarchs and fund mass murder.
Military leaks and listening to independent journalists can help enlighten us all.
Soft versus hard imperialism—there is a difference.
The Western regimes are the aggressors and the cause of escalation, United States foreign policy being the major player.
The United States took over this role after the British Empire declined in WWII.

Nice catch!
It might be his go-to response when he is listening and learning from the speaker; Professor Richard Wolff does have a way with words!
It seems he said it three times on this video, hahaha:
