I can never take students seriously who argue against capitalism and consumerism, all whilst filming on their smartphones, wearing Nike and clutching a Starbucks.
That kind of comment shows that you are pretty much the same that you are criticizing, and in regards to the video the statement itself its pretty dumb since you cannot prove something to be good or evil, those conditions are pretty much subjective hence is not something that can be disproof hence the whole argument is pointless
@David Elbourne It shows. He's a moron. Like most brainwashed Americans, this smug moron doesn't know the difference between socialism and communism. Venezuela is in darkness because of US sanctions, you American idiot. Successful socialist countries exist all over Europe. Prime examples would the Scandinavian countries of Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finalnd. Jonas Salk chose to not patent the vaccine or seek any profit from it in order to maximize its global distribution. Er, that's the epitome of socialism Charlie Kirk is using as an example of capitalism. What an idiot. Saudi Arabia isn't a socialist country, it's a kingdom supported by the US. Idiot.

@@jtaiv2798 Norway and Denmark are not socialist countries. Im from Sweden and sweden is even more "socialist" country but we are faaaaar from a real socialist society. We have democratic elections and the freedom of speech so you cant even compare us to syria
@@jtaiv2798 Denmark has a market based economy. Even right wing groups rate Denmark as about on par with the U.S. in economic freedom. It has a liberal free-market economy, low regulations, and low burden on business as well as a proper pro-business rule of law. Everything that makes Denmark successful is built on a free-market economy. In addition, the government takes taxes and spends it on the people. Just like in the U.S. Unless you are saying that taxes == socialism. In that case, I don't really have anything to add because that's not really true.
Of course, half the people were hell-bent on getting debate shut down. The other half called in security to get the base shut down when they were losing the argument.
"Why is the nuclear family the ideal model." Because studies have repeatedly shown that growing up in a nuclear family is one of the biggest contributors to being successful while growing up in a single parent household leads to massively increased chances of poverty, getting involved in crime, gangs, and tons of other horrible things.
I wish they'd stop saying 'nuclear' it makes the whole thing sounds ridiculous... outside of the U.S not many of us know about this term in the context of family and parenting.
Most western nations are literally democratic socialist societies and used brutal revolutionary means to get to such level of equality, where governments fear the people, not the other way around. The US is still young tho, and banned such authentic civilized tried and tested forms of creating proletariat control, to have better standard of living, and not how much consumerist garbage you need. The toys and fun came after the millions laid down their lives and billions of wasted labor to build the all mighty, United States Of America, who will meet it's demise soon. All empires fall. America won't be part of the 'west' when it does, it will need to rebuild back to western standards.
@@surimus5923 OK, what's your point? I don't see Sweden, Germany, or basically any European nation on the brink of civil war. Or let me guess... what's happening in the US is a communist plot!?
@@surimus5923 I don't think you understand what socialism is. And only look at it from the perspective of those who feel above everyone else. Basically I'm calling you greedy. If you want to live in a society you pay your dues. Taxation with representation isn't bad. But I do agree governments have bloated themselves with crony capitalism and misuse funds.
That quote applies to nearly everyone, actually. Very, very few people are willing to give up their ideology no matter what they see. Most humans follow their emotions no matter where the logic leads.
Absolutely. I lived in a two parent household until the age of 5, separated parents until the age of 12, then a single parent from 12 onwards (father walked out). I can definitely tell you under which condition I was afforded the best opportunities and standards of living... I can understand divorce if a marriage isn’t healthy but anybody who argues against two parents being around and actively supporting their kids is delusional. I also think it means they haven’t actually lived it... Living in a 3 storey house that backs onto a park and taking extra-curricular classes is a lot nicer than sleeping on a concrete floor in a sleeping bag each night, going to school sore and exhausted and relying on the government to eat. This is why woke leftists drive me nuts, they’re totally detached from reality. They are only interested in massaging their own narcissistic egos in order to give themselves a sense of self importance.
Im Bory : you know, I would have disagreed w you 7 months ago, but the fucking social mob on twitter, Reddit, Facebook, and ppl selectively editing their videos (currently) doesn’t allow the normal rights we have in America to take effect. Soon though, someone will push back w this bullshit again in America and rights will prevail.
Exactly because you’ve benefited from the work and sacrifice of others your entire life. Appreciation comes from sacrifice and hard work, something these children won’t understand until they’re thrown in the gulag by the revolution they supported out of compassion for the oppressed.
"The US didn't get involved until the end of the war" The US got involved in 1941, the war ended in 1945 . The war started in 1939. Meaning that the US spent more time in WWII than out of it.
Turned up in the middle when all the hard work, like The Battle of Britain, was done, then tried to hog all the glory as the Soviet Army marched from Stalingrad to Berlin.....
@@scottmcmahon86 I do feel the Russian efforts and sacrifice go forgotten here in the west but it also true the war would not have been won without the US.
@@blaydes4612 Not to mention we had around 3k troops in allied territory before we entered the war. We also heavily supplied the allies with weapons and vehicles. Then we had to fight a war on two front splitting our military power in half. We fought the Italians and Germans in Europe. Then the Japanese through the ocean and islands. WW2 was a massive group effort. The war couldn't be won if we didn't work together. If mainland Europe fell then the entire world would've been taken over. The brits and French needed us and we needed them. We forged alliances to combat evil and to later form NATO to oppose the growing threat of the Soviet Union.
No. Sorry. I'm good at logic. You're wrong. It doesn't provide his idea. It just shown that not many are willing to debate with him. Why? We wouldn't know.
Hot dogs, Mac and cheese, and ramen. The healthy food is a luxury among poor people, unless you qualify for food stamps. But now they have $1 frozen veggies. I give most of my veggies to my kids. I grew up on commodities, that’s everything in a can. Canned beef. Canned peanut butter. Canned cheese. I grew up, fought my way out of poverty to end up at upper poverty. I’m just out of it enough to not qualify for assistance. But my husband and I both work. All of this and I still wouldn’t move to Venezuela. I hope they move here though.
@@junelledembroski9183 In venezuela the population eat fairly healthily because they grow most of their own food as do I, buying only meat , milk and condiments as desired. Food and medicine is not the issue there, poverty is not the issue there and their overall contentment is high! If you can't be fed or feed yours then look within, don't say but Venezuela does this or that. You are being distracted by a Magicians Assistant!

@@junelledembroski9183 Have heard from several that healthy food is expensive. But have a hard time believing it. Ordinary potatoes and rice are healthy and should be among the cheapest available.
Charlie is a legend. Taking nothing away from the US vets who bravely stepped forward to answer the call for assistance in 1917 and 1942. It is sadly true that the US did show up very late in both World Wars as the student pointed out.
I'm a poor American, yet I have a cell phone, many different forms of clothing, a pc,a car, and many other things I am very privileged to have, but its capitalism that gave me my jobs and the freedom to aquire those things, I pray everyday that all the men and women stuck in communism can by the grace of God find their way here legally, because even if they still end up poor they will still be far safer and richer than anywhere else. God bless you Charlie you are a great man. Thank you.
I agree that USA is the most influential and actually the greatest country in history, but poor people in the US being safer and richer than *anywhere else*? Eh, hello.. Scandinavia/The Nordic calling.

I agree! It's so sad to hear them laugh and snigger at the notion that Winston Churchill was the greatest leader of our time. Without him, these kids wouldn't be at university exploring their ideas and exercising their free speech. Their friends who are different races or religions wouldn't be here either.

Much of the same is over here in the U.S. This a problem of the West in general, a growing population of self-loathers who will eventually bring this civilization to a violent halt. Then when the dust settles, they'll look around and say, "my God, what have we done?"

He did, but he hasn't got a brain or a single original thought, so you can ignore him, he has nothing to contribute and no value to bring to the table. Maybe one day he will learn. Maybe.

Coffee is only 5 bucks because on a capitalist system millions of people can afford it. And fore those who can’t or don’t want to pay that much there are still places to get coffee much cheaper. You can even make it at home for pennies. But in a capitalist system there are options for everyone. Under socialism the are few options for fewer people.
gaby You just started that one family controls all of North Korea. Therefore, the people do not own anything. The fact that the royal family lives like kings while the rest of the country starves shows that it’s not really socialist. Authoritarian sure, socialist tho? Nah

@Fatty Tee 3 million is that it lol! That isn't rich unless you live on a dollar a day.

Great to see that everyone stayed put, composed and respectful compared with some crazy other videos we see. That’s literally what we should be and be doing. Talk and listen respectfully, each one with it’s ideas trying to find common grounds to be able to love and enjoy our communities together.

We're approaching half way through 2022 and I notice very few of these on campus debates lately. This one posted over a year ago from the old responses so I just wonder if anything has changed in people's thinking 🤔.

My response to when people say America is awful, how many people have moved out of the USA to go to any socialist country in comparison to those coming here for salvation? Don’t think I’ve heard of people leaving the USA
Excellent point. Over a million people immigrate from their wonderful countries they love to the country they hate--the US--every year. Only because the US is so horrible in every way. It's so incredibly horrible that everyone from all over the world wants to live here. There are still around 736 million people around the world living in extreme poverty & oppression. We should bring them all to the US. And adopt the policies of their countries they ran away from. All problems solved! You just wind up with a headache trying to follow their logic.
I mean there are a few people leaving the US for reasons other than vacation. I don't know the exact numbers but maybe a few hundred, a few thousand at most, and they're probably just going for free college.
@@amihere383 Basically free college and also the wealthy escaping the US tax burdens. And the ones attending college come back to the US after. There's no official statistics, but many articles talk about it. But according to the younger generations, we've done everything wrong & we're the worst country in the world. So they want to destroy everything & remake the US to be a giant CHAZ....except with a few hundred million more illegal immigrants. Ought to be interesting.
Jamie Madison if they made the entire country a chaz, they’ll start with their insane ideology and create a priority hierarchy based on apparent “systemic racism and discrimination” which there’s no shred of logic in the notion blacks are suffering for slavery in the modern day and in fact is comical, it’ll only lead to a surge in white supremacy and my guess due to the population split in the us and whites being the majority, it won’t go well for minorities 😂😂😂
The fact that so many of these obviously educated, privileged university students/staff, have a MAYBE 4th grade-level understanding of history, is always stunning to me. BLINDINGLY stunning. Not just the folks at this particular university but seemingly everywhere. I include even my own college-student kids, so I’m picking on EVERYONE. My kids have some knowledge of history from me and I know that, for example, my daughter has been bored to death by boring, public high school history teachers, and she’s more interested in other things while my son is just naturally more interested in history, as I was when I was a K-12 student at the same public schools-but it’s so disheartening to hear people who haven’t been taught about the millions who have died under totalitarian, communist regimes. Perhaps I’m biased because I have a degree in history and that regardless of that, I know how much history I still DON’T know, but to see students wandering around places like this, or Harvard, or Yale, or Berkley-that can’t answer questions like “Who won the Civil War?” or “Who were Americans fighting against in WW2?” is simply mind-boggling to me. (But, by all means, don’t allow any DISCUSSIONS near our campus!) I think the young man who stopped by briefly, near the beginning, to express his support for Kirk, said he was “Only here because it’s got the best Chinese language department,” is a REALIST. I may need to start studying something other than history myself. Knowing how to say “I surrender!” in several different languages might be the best way to go. 😵💫. Semper Fi. (I won’t be surrendering.)
What's funny is that ALL of these "students" are dressed, accessorized, and equipped from head-to-to in CAPITALISM. Also, they're attending a school/college/university that is paid for by TAX money which is taken from labor done by CAPITALISM. (It's like) they DO NOT know that Government DOES NOT CREATE money... Government TAKES MONEY. THAT SAID, I would like to have Charlie Kirk debate one of the PROFESSORS of these students in a class session WITH these students present.
