Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@AnKebiseManda says : ✏️ What's wrong with US Society and Politics, is Free Chinese and French fluency being overlooked on the app stores because of cheeseburgers and soap or something. 🐻‍❄️ Really, at it's core. Not enough people even speak English! An kebise Manda.>> <<@user-kb9bd5tt8f says : What's wrong with US society and politics?.... EVERYTHING!!!!>> <<@BrianDarcy8313 says : Public Universities provide free schooling lol...what this guy is talking about??? haha>> <<@BrianDarcy8313 says : Americans are already working to defeat Citizens United and the corruption that comes with it>> <<@BrianDarcy8313 says : Freedom>> <<@merrillsmith2270 says : This channel is a bunch of rot.>> <<@Pandora5617 says : As always, Ben Norton is right on point!>> <<@ObjectiveMedia says : This interviewer is very intelligent, when she asks why western populations keep voting for these fascist/imperialist politicians I think she knows the correct answer and that is that “you can’t have a functional democracy without a well informed population” (Jefferson quote). Unfortunately like most academics here in the west Ben still hasn’t quite realised this yet.>> <<@dorciedelasan2456 says : Ben Norton is the Best>> <<@johnbotsford6897 says : As an American residing in China I agree 100%,>> <<@ivandate9972 says : Democracy is to make sure that the chosen leaders are under the same law as ordinary people. Unless you do democracy, you are still at a medieval kingdom stage.>> <<@hockquin says : Yes,as many thinkers have come to realize,the US is a plutocracy,with the rich and powerful controlling the government. The big military industrial complex, big banks,are main beneficiaries,and of course Israel. Congressmen cannot offend the AIPAC,or america israel political action council, they would be out of congress,as the costly election is every 2 years.>> <<@carpediem44 says : It's wonderful to see Ben Norton on CGTN ❤>> <<@Ray89135 says : Ben, what are you doing? You're supposed to praise US and slander & bash China. Otherwise, you'll be called unAmerican or worse treacherous.>> <<@SaltySeaDaddy says : 🇨🇳👍🏻🇨🇳>> <<@davidleader4799 says : Great interview. Well done>> <<@danielodey7775 says : A great, interesting interview. America has always had an aversion to socialism. That's unlikely to change. Is there a social policy tradition in the US. Usually it's offered as a post-graduate course at universities. The US badly needs an injection of social policy ie. looking after the less well off. Government spending on social welfare is good for the economy and creates a more cohesive society.>> <<@discoverer7175 says : Madam Lui Xin, please share with Ben Norton your discussion with Professor Carty regarding his research on the disputed islands between China and the Phillipines. Thank you!>> <<@JohnT.4321 says : The US Constitution was written in the interests of the capitalist class and not so much for ordinary people. That is why there continues to be pushed the de-regulating of businesses in the US and the UK. I do understand that China has a revisionist Marxist government that allowed capitalism to exist under heavy regulations and so far has worked. That could change in the near future since revisionism restores capitalism like it did in Russia. However, such a system such as China has would never work in the US. Things would get ugly when the people demand a complete non revisionist system change in the US.>> <<@janiesteinberg5240 says : Living in US is hell also. Most of the citizens are arrogant and rude and will cut you off in traffic and more. Walking outside at night is very dangerous and theft is prolific.>> <<@ykl8251 says : The very old politicians should retire to give the world a fresh start. The younger ones prefer peace for all families.>> <<@gabrielhung1647 says : Love Ben's analysis.... 👍>> <<@jglg7238 says : China is pushing towards the future. The west u,s amurica is holding back mankind.>> <<@ketyap3769 says : Spot on, liberal democracy in USA is becoming less “ for the people….”, but more for the rich !>> <<@jacintochua6885 says : The weet is stuck in mentality of the past, as superior and exceptional. This destroyed their outlook and sense of reslity.>> <<@engjeekeow says : China rise is on Modernisation but US rise is more on Militalization>> <<@user-ii1gv1cv2m says : The US has no central bank, instead it has a national treasury that continually begs money from a private bank, Federal Reserve Bank run by powerful banksters. The national treasury, as empowered by the US legislature infinitely issues IOUs that forever drowns America into the ocean of debt as the US dollar has no intrinsic value. It is continually printed and its value is just backed by the government and guaranteed by the taxes of the citizens.>> <<@user-ii1gv1cv2m says : his statements reflect the concreteness of the empire of lies.>> <<@sttan2631 says : Hagemony is over soon... No freebies anymore>> <<@kingartajotv8916 says : ⁉️👁️☝️🌏>> <<@luislim6311 says : I am an American. Ben Norton I consider one of the best journalist. Besides his English is one of the best -I can understand every single word that is spoken by him.>> <<@yaqiwang5242 says : I don’t think normal people can feel strongly the difference of domestic policy from democratic or republican. Tax returns are not much different. Inflation, national debt continue no matter who is in control. Constant aggressive foreign policies. The two parties are equally incompetent fighting over nonessential issues to keep their bases. No wonder Xin doesn’t understand.>> <<@rosymylene1878 says : What a brilliant and good-hearted gentleman. Blessings.>> <<@user-zl9sh9mz6h says : The USA was birthed by genocide, built by slavery, and is sustained by brutal capitalist imperialism. It is an irredeemably evil nation. Period.>> <<@LalaSalama-pj3jh says : There is also a very simple factor contributing to our despondency. Societal interests have been castigated for monetary gains by a handful of corporation elites. Politicians don't speak for the voters anymore. They act on behalf of the interests of those that put them in office through campaign contributions. Unfortunately most voters seem either unwilling or resigned to this system. That's why most the the younger generation don't vote and are mostly hopelessly detached. What to do?>> <<@user-yg7cj3qt9s says : Make sure to mention that Israel is getting better medical and good life because they are getting our money.>> <<@marshamao750 says : 👍👍👍>> <<@fuyimpoon8095 says : Because of China's long history and cultural identity, Chinese shows solidarity way much stronger than Westerners. And Chinese don't see the government as a threat but more as a protector and collaborater, so once the parts decides to this or that, the whole country is united behind it and acchieves results very quickly.>> <<@jonsnow8853 says : Ben Norton is an excellent journalist 👍>> <<@None-no6we says : ❤️>> <<@Nikita4557 says : Ben is one of my fav journalist/analyst. Love you Ben! ❤>> <<@SimonSeow says : Campaign funds are legal bribe>> <<@shaunehuolohan5736 says : Very wise for a young man. I follow Mr Ben Norton>> <<@danielodey7775 says : Various countries and corporations have decided to put some space between themselves and China until they (China) sort out their economic problems . Probably Apple and Tesla will have to stop manufacturing in China at enormous cost.>> <<@ykwong230 says : Ben Norton are some of the fair and intelligent Americans who are worth listening to and learn a thing or two. I'm impressed at how he presents facts and analyses with great presentation skills.>> <<@tailslapexplore6887 says : As long as any countries having lobby and lobbyist it is a corruption countries that will serve democracy only for the crazy rich but hell for the middle class and poor, they're selling you the fake democracy and their values while laughing behind ur back .>> <<@richardgoh6697 says : Westerner politicians esp hegemonic US ones are most hypocritical and selfish. It is ok for their nationals if their economy is strong but it’s definitely not ok when their economy is on d way down. Endless of immigrants are queuing up to enter US as US never properly helps their neighbours when US economy was good but now with millions of homelessness all over US’s big citified, those immigrants shall not hv it easy trying to find a good living in a declining US.>> <<@laick123 says : The west n US have lost their self confidence and esteem. Shame on false democracy, the free world 🌎, green peace n human rights advocators hypocrism 😂😢😅....>> <<@shinystar2177 says : Chinese media needs the people like him for their voice. His points of view is insightful and very eloquent.>> <<@HOLOCAUST-DENIER says : HEY AMERICAN PEOPLE -- Our political system sucks cause it is overloaded with Jewish Revolutionaries and their AntiChristian Communist Toadies such as Barack Obama and Joe Biden>>
