I can definitely agree that greed corrupts all. However 'Hakim' has a really disagreeable and unclear way of presenting his opinions. Right from the beginning it just seems like half-brained propaganda and I will admit I didn't watch the whole video because of that.

However I strongly disagree that America is really a social democracy, even though it may have been intended that way. The current state of the country is a representative corporatocracy.

Hakim is an acquired taste. Try Second Thought instead. His take on propaganda might be more to your liking.

This is so unbelievably true. I watch his videos regularly, and I still find him a bit too rushed in some videos. He also requires a decent amount of background information to properly grasp the topic in a lot of videos. I think I like him more on the Deprogram, where he has to slow it down and explain things for the podcast

That’s true. I find Yugopnik the most affable. Partly because he’s long winded and I relate. JT is nice but very intentional, like he’s thinking about how what he says will be interpreted. Hakim gets a little anti-white at times, but I cut him slack because America literally bombed his home. My favorite episode so far was when they critiqued American history. I learned a lot that day.

I will admit I didn’t watch the whole video because of that.

And yet you think your opinion on this video is worthy of other people's time and effort. 👎
