The live ones were always the best. It was outrageous and fun, but the few times I've watched uploads to Spotify they seemed tame and sorta "phoned in". The Musk conversation was a bore-fest and left me wanting. Oh well I can't blame him, I would have taken that insane money too. All things eventually come to an end.
My great grand father, who is still alive, experienced the Stalin oppression that you've been talking about. His father was accused for Trotskyism and was shortly executed. While his wife was sent to gulag. My grandfather was at that point only 6 years old, non of his relatives was brave enough to adopt him, so he was putted in an orphanage. Luckily, my grandfather managed to find his mother after ww2 ended, but still when he became adult, he still was witnessing discriminations based on his background. For a long time he couldn't get a job. Today he is 93 years old
And yet here in American public schools we are hardly ever taught about the atrocities by Communists in the 20th century. But year in and year out we are taught about the Holocaust and Fascism until its implanted into our brains to where we think that was the only mass atrocity that ever happened. I wonder why that is...🤔
When did you wake up from your dream you sound like your suffering from mental health issues lol 😆 who believes the bull you say but your self hahah dud you have alot of time on your hands get a job and get ahead in life what do you get from saying lies on RU-vid comments hah your nuts bro you need help
Worked with a Vietnamese fella when I was younger at a steel cable factory. He basically lost his entire family during the pol pot regime. Was the only one to get away. He was older, and had married once he was in Canada. He didn't talk much at all about his old life in Vietnam. I could tell there was just pain there. What a sweet guy he was.
Pol pot was Cambodia's dictator. I'm guessing you meant to say his family lived in Cambodia during Pol pot's regime but your coworker is of vietnamese descent.
I have travelled all over the world and I have seen how messed up the world is. We have it so good here that people don't even realize how good it really is.
I feel your pain man, whenever I go into an ice cream shop, they have so many flavors that I can't decide what I want, and then when I ultimately do make a choice, I regret my choice and wish I had gotten my second choice instead. It makes me feel like I'm living under Ceaucescu or something.
@@chick_nuggs9318Hey listen man. I don't trust our government any more than I would an actual Communist country, but then again we often like to paint ourselves as the heroes of all and the saviors. But we've also done wrong and in war have done just as many shady things as those countries, it's just that our country has a very short-term memory about any real wars that we are not involved in. Only when we are in wars do we like to say we are the winners, but we always are losers when we lose a lot of soldiers. WWII was one thing, but Vietnam was the fear of Communist countries taking over the world and rightfully so.
This is why I enjoy Michael Malice. His last statement was the most accurate and scary. People in the US have no idea just how bad it can get. And until we wake up from this shit, it’s only going to get worse. It’s so easy to lose what we have.
@@paulbraunstein2290 Accept Christ's message of love. It's the only... and my message here, in a post-modern world, is nearly forgotten or unpopular. Christ is this way.
Spain close to 40% real unemployment. And people demand more socialism. Then Argentina, then venezuela, then civil war and famine. Some people will always continue no matter what because they believe everything is justified to achieve their utopia.
Joe Rogan, thank you for being an avenue for men like this to speak. What he has to say is very important. And we shouldn't distance ourselves from the problem so much as to think that that kind of thing doesn't still happen right under our nose.
When I watch RU-vid and learn about all these atrocities, the death and destruction of the present and the past, I wonder how I'm still lucky enough to be alive.
Exactly. People in America are so privileged and don’t understand how great it is here. Yet they’re still trying to destroy it because their feelings are hurt or something
You can be grateful for what you have and still want it to be better. When you live in a corrupt system and you just say “well it could be worse” that’s how real oppression becomes a reality.
Wow, I thought that people committing brutal acts of violence was the awful behavior I needed to be aware of. I hadn’t yet thought about the reality of the psychological warfare of killing parents and stealing children from your enemies.
I've been to 45 countries as a missionary. I've literally kissed the ground coming back to the States. Freedom is often taken for granted, but much of the world doesn't live free; horrifically under dictatorships etc. I've seen terrible things and had my life and freedom threatened numerous times, with years of nightmares resulting. Freedom is a HUGE gift our forefathers gave us. I do see it slipping away as our government seems more authoritarian lately. I pray it swings back through leadership change etc. But freedom is not and will not always be available- love it, cherish it, defend it.
As a fellow traveled missionary I whole heartedly agree with you. Couldn’t have said it better myself. We truly live in a blessed land. God bless you friend and God bless America.
wait... "Freedom" or "having Basic Necessities while not being killed". What's the benefit of freedom in majority of human existence (the hunter gather society) in which high proportion of men died by violence, half of babies (or quite high proportion) were killed after birth for various reasons, wrestle with constant exposure to elements and uncertainties.
Thank you for talking about these subjects. I think we are on track to experience such things in this country, if we don't make significant course corrections soon. So it seems to me these talks are all the more important.
youtube is available damn near everywhere. Spotify is missing from like half of the worlds countries and I'm not going to download a VPN to listen to joe
@Nathan Hoffman The concern trolling about 'atrocities' in China is mostly CIA propaganda. If you look closely, most of the virtue signalling about the plight of 'Uighur Muslims' and 'Hong Kong' is coming from ZIonist hacks (like Bari Weiss) who are attempting to deflect from and avoid addressing the ethnic cleansing occuring in Israel (that you aptly call out). I'm absolutely not excusing China - they have major issues both past and present when it comes to human rights violations, and the Chinese people have a rather authoritian and racial supremacist bent (especially those of Chinese-Han decent). To put it simply, the CIA has invested major resources trying to incite seditious anti-government elements within China - with some success, and the Chinese Government has responded in a heavy handed manner, as authoritian Governments tend to do. The biggest human rights abuses world-wide are caused by the US/Israel/Saudi alliance - and it's not even close. But when China eventually overtakes the USA as the worlds military superpower, they might make this period of US dominance look rather tame.
@Nathan Hoffman I suppose that is a fair response given a lack of sources in my previous comment. But which claims do you want me to provide references for? It is necessary to point out that my comments normally get censored on youtube when I add links to them, so I may not be able to provide you direct links to articles/databases pages. Also, this is RU-vid so you should not expect a 3000 word fully referenced essay. I will add links to a 2nd comment immediately after this one - if you cannot see ti then you know it was disappeared by RU-vid. The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) was created by Reagan in 1983 after the Iran-Contra scandal broke, and is a well known CIA Front - in the same mold as USAID. According to wikipedia, NED has donated almost $9m USD since 2004 to UIghar Muslim groups and has supported other Chinese 'dissedents' as well as providing funding for Hong Kong protesters. But to check, I ran my own search of NED's database (which you can do as well) and found 214 entries that refer to various Chinese human rights groups that total over $27m USD - all in the last 3 years alone.
@Nathan Hoffman FFS... RU-vid won't even let me post a link to wikipedia... So you will have to search manually. I'll list the titles of some of the artciles I reference. 1 - 'Trojan Horse: The National Endowment for Democracy' - William Blum 2 - 'Trump is gutting the National Endowment for Democracy, and that’s a good thing' - Boston Globe 3 - 'National Endowment for Destabilization? CIA Funds for Latin America in 2018' - Telesur 4 - 'US media ramps up anti-China campaign over Uyghur “human rights”' - WSWS 5 - 'Why is the National Endowment for Democracy fueling Hong Kong protests?' - CGTN 6 - 'Who is behind Hong Kong protests?' - China Daily And lastly, if you want to search NED's grant database, I used the search criteria 'Project Region: Asia and Project Country: China' which located 214 entries.
And if you still aren't convinced that NED is a CIA cutout, then perhaps the words of Allen Weinstein - one of NED's cofounders - will convince you. In a Washington Post article titled, 'INNOCENCE ABROAD: THE NEW WORLD OF SPYLESS COUPS' dated 22/09/1991 he is quoted as saying, "A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA".
Yup my great grandmother telling stories of her seeing soviet soldiers throwing kids into a wall and their heads cracking open and then rushing whole village into a barn and setting it on fire people tend to forget its really sad and theres nothing we can do about it
I know this lady and her parents. The girl told me one day how her dad and his mom along with 2 other siblings escaped from stalin cruelty. She told me how her grandmother tried to escape several times with her kids and got caught and they made the kids watch as they hung her upside down and beat the bottom of her soles til they bleed as punishment for trying to escape the camp. They were german by they way. They finally escaped successfully. Went to Portugal.Took a month mostly by foot across Portugal to get to a boat that brought them to USA. They happy ending was (the husband got separated from them back in germany ) when they was asked what town do they want to settle in I guess they gave them options where there was other refugees that spoke their languages just so happened the father had escaped and choose the same city and they found one another.
As a father, it is so difficult to listen to stories like what are shared in this clip. My heart breaks for those that have had to go through those struggles. But I am also reminded of how blessed my small family is. This world is truly brutal
@@sit-insforsithis1568 you're right and wrong. I've always been an "empathetic human being", as you put it. However, since having children of my own, crap like this hits in a completely different way. But thanks for taking the time to correct me anyway.
The world is brutal but you being a parent have a wonderful opportunity to make the world a little better by raising good humans who will respect the world and the lives around them. Good luck to you in raising your little humans, the world needs more good people.
it is, my great grandparents were deported to siberian gulag camps with their children AFTER world war II for being teachers, we are from Estonia and during the soviet occupation we lived under Stalins terror , and to teach national songs to childern was illegal , only communist songs were allowed ,thankfully my greatgrandmother came bak with her children but great grandfather died in there , knowing that I am actually really scared about what is happening right now...I hope our country doesnt have to go trough that again
You should bro, it’s important, the more people that realise this capitalism nonsense is not capitalism it’s neo liberalism the better! We need to teach our kids that freedom is not fascism or the comfort of a dictatorship, that there are alternatives to this current neo liberalism, or the future is not that bright for your grandchildren ✌️
Agreed!!!! I've been trying to figure out how to spell the name of the country he said goes at it with n. Korea as worst place for journalists, for about 10 minutes now
I have an Uncle who lost his father to the communist take over of East Germany. After the end of WWII, his father believed that the western alleys would liberate East Germany. When hope of this faded, they attempted to cross the border before it was closed in 1952. His father having been a high up factory manager before and during the war, was sent to Siberia to work in a mine until he died a few years later. That was his only crime being a "capitalist." When you see someone yelling about capitalists with a communist flag, assume they have murderous intent.
I worked with a guy who was a child soldier in Cambodia. Him and his friend just sneaked away one night, through a jungle, across a river somehow bribed a boat ride and proceeded to make it to the US. Now he is an engineer at Sikorsky. And he looked like he was the right age to have been there during the Pol Pot time frame. Thats basically all he really seemed to want to say about how he made it over to America. I was just like. . .yeah, there is a lot more to that story!
Bud, I,worked with a Cambodianwith an average living there.. Once he got to the states, he tried going to the bathroom by standing on,crouching on top the toilet seat... Because the toilet seat is dirty? No, they'd eat off a toilet, happily just to have food... He's only known a hole in the ground for defecation
It is shit I just started watching it to get the full videos and also older ones and it restarts randomly which before you can go back to where you were...if you even know you have to watch 4 minutes of ads atleast its shity app altogether I think it sucks youtube should've gave him 105 mil to stay sheesh
Malice is right. I lived in Brazil for 2 years when I was 19 to 21 and it was eye opening. Seeing how the poor live there was heart breaking and made me grateful for the simple things we take for granted. People have no idea how good they have it here and find ways to complain, it's astounding and embarrassing. If people want to know what no opportunity and oppression looks like go spend some time in the favelas.
But don’t you think that there’s places in United States of America that people have never been where people are like really really really poor. Like the Appalachian Mountains have you ever watch the podcast or a documentary on that. Those people are poor they don’t even have indoor plumbing they don’t even have an indoor bathroom I mean they’re poor poor. I mean and I’m not saying trying to take anything away from what you saw but I think a lot of people in America are under the impression that there’s nobody like that in this country and they’re sure ours. You have people that don’t have any place to live that live on the streets. That sleep on benches I find it kind of like almost remarkable that I mean like so how poor is poor. Like when you have no house and you have no car and you have no money and you have no food I mean like that’s pretty bad. I meant to be people who live in the mountains in the United States of America and I have indoor plumbing indoor electricity. I think that’s pretty you know substantial don’t you
Similar experience, granted much shorter. Visiting family in Colombia when I was 6, walking down the street and seeing homeless kids my age, one in particular sleeping on a doorstep. Those images are burned in my brain..
@@soulfireonfire6423 we have food banks and shelters but some choose not to go there. They have mental wellness issues not just poverty it’s more complex. Go visit some other countries I found it an eye opener. Egypt for one, in Cairo our guide showed us some children begging in the streets where the parents broke their limbs to get more charity. Try Calcutta with dead bodies lining the streets! Doesn’t mean we should ignore those in need here or give up trying to improve our society as there are many inequities and injustices but to totally destroy this country would be immensely foolish because what would come in its place you would regret 😩I try to be grateful but vigilant.
I feel like so many should be listening to this podcast for sure. I agree, we all do take things for granted, I am happy I listened to this one, it makes me appreciate the things I do have a little bit more.
It's imperative that those kind of historic events are kept from people so they can do it again without people resisting when they see the signs of it coming.
Yeah, or just show the final stage and repeat "never again"... Pretending that would help not to reproduce the same mistakes that led to that final stage...
Really? We had a genocide in the 1940’s. Most of the protagonists were dealt with at the Nuremberg trial, where we said, never again. Since then? Rwanda, Armenia, Myanmar, China, Israel and plenty more. It makes no fucking difference. We are corrupted by power every day. That will never change. We are a virus that destroys everything we find, including ourselves.
@@Sixstringman no I agree but the episode with Alex Jones on tim pools podcast just gave me a bad taste but agree he knowledgeable about stuff people don't like taking about
@@backup9911 schools under capitalism are reducation camps that indoctrinate students into ignoring the atrocities committed by their corporate oligarchies and into selling their labor for chump change

Me and my family escaped the balkans during the 90s during the Balkan wars. My parents lived with no electricity for 2-3 years. I’m always thankful for growing up in America 🇺🇸 I won’t ever trade this country for anything.
The reality is, as relatively bad as any of our lives are in the US, 99% of us are actually the luckiest 1% of people on earth. Not even that, we are probably something like the luckiest 0.01% in human history, and yet we still manage to make ourselves miserable.
I'm honestly jealous of the oblivious people in the western world who think the whole world lives like us. I'm consistently paranoid about the U.S. becoming a dictatorship because I know it could happen fast and I know it would be supported by a good percentage of the population. It's a legit fear constantly in the back of my mind. I wish I was ignorant of the horrors of the world because I legitimately feel I'd live a more peaceful life rather than living in a state of paranoia.
Malice reminds me of my uncle, Everytime he watches a RU-vid video or listens to a podcast and learns something new he makes sure he tells everybody, and inevitably states "no ones talking about this!!"
The author Iris Chang spent her life studying atrocity (Rape of Nanking), and ended up killing herself. Deep study of human atrocity is literally dangerous to your mental health. The Buddha even cautioned about not focusing on such things.
it's so true. people always view history as a thing that was back in the past. we moved past racism and dictators right? wrong! i grew up in Germany and i always thought everyone was disgusted by our past and the Nazis when i was younger. i thought how could anyone agree with a monster like Hitler in today's society after we saw the terrible things that happened. But as i got older i learned that it doesn't take much to change things for the worse and for people to forget or idolize the wrong ideas. Sometimes it just takes a single event like the refugee crisis in Germany to f*ck things up. We have a right wing party that's gaining popularity, they use the same rhetoric as the Nazis back then even though they're hiding it sometimes but it's happening. I think the u.s. are at least as bad and it won't take a lot to end up in a terrible place just because people are to comfortable and they don't think anything bad could happen in the u.s.
@@Mustis91I mean, us Americans, most of us, DO know what it's like at least to a certain extent because outside of Vietnam and Dropping the nukes in Japan, we are almost always seen as a country with good values and good, hard working people who do well and don't do any wrong. Oh, no. The real ones know we've got just as much blood on our country's flag as everyone else, but we also kill other Americans more than any other country does. So, it's not just the atrocities of war or retaliation, but we do understand what it's like.
I love Michael Malice. People have no idea how depraved people in power really are. I hear him over and over repeating this phrase. It is so true. He sees the big picture and it ain't good.
childhood, as I knew it in the 80s, was new..fifty years earlier kids worked..daily and were like adults ....this whole childhood experience stuff we are still learning
My Ukrainian grandfather is 92 years old this year and also witnessed the Holodomor. It took Stalin only 1 year to bring the average life expectancy from 45 years old to just 5 years old. In 1932 it was about 45 years old, and by 1933 it was 5 years old. He simply annexed the farmlands and claimed all the food to starve people. They had to print out paper that said "Remember, its wrong to eat your children". He was also sent to a Russian work camp at one point. My grandfather was born in 1930, Ukraine right when Stalin began his genocide. If he didnt live past 5 years old I wouldnt be alive today. Our grandmother passed away this February. She told us stories about hiding in the fields when she was a child while the russians searched for her and her father.
Im from Eritrea (the country Michael was talking about), and i've seen it all with my own eyes and experienced it a little so that ^^^ thought runs through my head every single minute of everyday and it kills my soul but there is nothing I can do about it. I am powerless against an evil dictator that has slowly sucked the life out of my motherland. "Journalist in a cage in the middle of nowhere" is a huge understatement. The journalist along with many many other innocent civilians are in shipping containers out in the hot dry dessert (so hot you will burn your feet if you try and walk with shoes on around noon when the sun is shinning high, average temperature is about 95°F) being fed nothing but lentils, rotten questionable bread and tea all day everyday. Those are the lucky ones. The rest are in underground shipping containers where the temperatures far exceed the 95°F avg above ground and have no access to light or fresh air. They are then beaten to within an inch of their lives before being revived, medically treated and beaten again. If they are lucky they get to bathe in dirty water about once a month. They have no access to any form of communication with the outside world and have no visitation rights. Their families don't know where they are being held or even if they are dead or alive. Here I sit watching youtube and smoking weed 🤯😔😢 As of right now there is a 22 year old *American citizen* being held in Eritrea in these decrepit conditions. She was arrested 9 years ago when she was just 15 years old. Her name is Ciham Ali (please google her), she will turn 23 on April 3rd and there will be a a relatively big social media push (#Purple4Ciham) to try and bring her story to light in the hopes that public pressure will force the US government to fight for it's citizen. This has been happening for the past few years, but has so far not been as successful as hoped, so the more voices the better. *If you can please join the efforts to get her story out there on April 3rd, her birthday, by using the hashtags **#Purple4Ciham** and **#HappyBirthdayCiham**. Set a reminder on your phone now please so you don't forget, it is the least we can do* to help save a life while we sit here "vaping and watching youtube" 🙏❤️
normalization bias. Summer children ever since WWII. A lack of proper education, ignorance, and entitlement is literally going to be the end of this state.
