Hey everyone, hope you're having a good December. I've been busy working on the World War 2 piece and am about halfway through recording and editing it.  It's probably going to be over an hour long and will basically resemble a full-length documentary.

Meanwhile the trailer for Civil War came out and made me decide to make a quick piece on it. This is what resulted. Hope you get something out of it!

I plan on doing one Patron's video before the WWII video is released. It's either going to be on the Nazi Olympics or on Russia's brief flirtation with liberal democracy that no one really knows about.

Thank you so very much, as always, for your support.

- Ryan

Another American civil war would be.... Brutal; I live a few hours north of the Ambassador Bridge and I sincerely hope it's not in the future. Interesting topic.....

I had not heard of this movie before your brief video, Ryan, but I did as you suggested and watched the trailer first. And I think your point is the most salient comment that can be made —that it’s striking that this is not being regarded as beyond the Pale. I hope the warning that the movie’s producers intended is heeded, but I fear for the future of my country.

Because of how bad 2020 was for many people (COVID, BLM), I think the film is looking backwards rather than forwards. It's grieving for that time and I think that internet cynics mock that emotion.

I am so looking forward to the WW2 video

What happened to you intellectual roots of woke video, why did you take it down? Don’t know where else to pose the question.

Richard David Greene

Last night on CNN, ultra-talented pollster, Frank Luntz suggested the bigger danger than war among Americans, can be CONTEMPT between MASS disagreeing and distrusting among Americans, dropping the necessary tolerance and respect bridging opposite views, CONTEMPT breaking down the co-operation levels needed to keep big modern systems saving our lives and saving the necessary democracy, to keep hopes and actions attempting something better than Putin or Netanyahu.

Paradigm Gauge

I think that a majority of people in the United States dread this topic and do not find a movie about it very entertaining, even as social commentary. It is the sum of all fears scenario, something that represents a catastrophic failure of our elected leaders to work out their differences to the benefit of everyone. I know there are doom-and-gloom folks who predict it, but to predict such a thing requires that one disregards all the machinery (both governmental and cultural) that would work powerfully against such a scenario. It is a very different world than the one in which Republicans attacked and defeated the Democrats in the first Civil War, which was fundamentally about unconstitutional civil liberties and equality (in the form of abolishment of slavery, a movement that was thankfully spreading across the world), a de facto liberal position that is somewhat juxtaposed by Lincoln's nationalistic interest in a stronger union. In today's world oppression is not so obvious. One can easily identify the oppressed in the United States in 1861, but in 2014 it seems there are movements to exaggerate oppression in order to induce the same conflict. (Critical Theory.) But I think the artificiality of this exaggeration is too apparent to win, and while groupthink and mob mentality may lead to violence, I refuse to participate in self-fulfilling prophecies about another Civil War. I do think that political divisiveness has peaked again, and stopping that escalation requires that everyone start using more humility in their disagreements instead of launching threats and words of hate which serve no more purpose than that of an angry ape throwing poop around: to impress upon others a sense of power.

The movie was great even though it was stressful for me as I was fleeing a not-so-Civil War myself that started a year before the release. It reminded me of what it was like to live in a war zone. And encounter soldiers without someone to give them orders, and how your life only depends on what God (swt) has written for you. How some kill just to kill and how others are defending their homes. What happens when a country's top military commanders are hit by corruption, and how other countries shamelessly jump on the opportunity.

The Man

One thing I would love to hear your thoughts on Ryan, is how being a low information electorate actually aided in avoiding a civil war. I’m not talking about the riots/protests on Jan 6, those were all over the news. I’m talking about the electorate scheme on Jan 6.
