I mostly agree, on your first point. To get this straight, Marxism-Leninism is an Atheistic ideology. However, this Atheism is not the driving force in Marxist crimes; it is the idea of the Dialectic, and the "need" for revolution. Just as it is not Theism that is the driving force in Islamic crimes, but rather the idea of Jihad, etc. I would like to suggest that Atheism and Theism are necessary causes for the crimes committed, but not sufficient causes. Also, why so much Ad Hominem at the end?
Don't worry about Brockley, there's a reason his videos have less than a thousand views, there's a reason he got a false DMCA claim, there's a reason everyone fucking hates him. Because he's a smarmy, conservative, friendless, pompous douchebag.
yeah i noticed his channel in the side bar right after i posted that...i couldnt find either of them in a general search for some reason...thought you guys finally ran the plagarizing bastard off the tubes for a sec!...but thatd be no fun...i really digg your vids by the way SoCal.
Sharia law is a Muslim thing. What does that have to do with Christians? Where in the world do you get info to say Sharia is a Christian ideal? Not that Christians or Catholics haven't done awful things. I'm with you there. There has been some fucked up shit through the course of history hidden behind the guise of false Christianity but these are normally acts of a few in positions of power and not the general belief of people that partake in the religion.
@ryanrayonec Actually, had you read the Old Testament you'd see that biblical law is remarkably similar to sharia law. Islam and Christianity both condemn homosexuality, adultery, bestiality, pre-marital sex, women dressed immoedstly, women holding positions of authority over men, and incest, with the death penalty. I'd call that, pretty similar. Wouldn't you?
@Jarut195 That is actually one hell of a point. I have to admit I haven't studied the old testament in great depth so instead of just firing back an argument like most people who just want to say something back I'll agree that if true it is one hell of a point. In today's world though whether its right or wrong we don't live that way nor do we really condone a vast majority of it even if the Bible was truly the word of God and were all wrong for disobeying we still don't live that way.
@ryanrayonec Well thanks for the compliment, it was very ... polite. Which is hard to come by on a youtube comment conversation. But back to the point. If we followed every law in the Old Testament, we'd all be dead. In fact you and I probably wouldn't even exist because our ancestors would've been stoned to death long ago. I encourage you to read Leviticus, it has most of the laws, I daresay you shall be thoroughly repulsed. (I was).
What amused me about his video was that he claimed that the Japanese Kamikazes had no religious significance, completely ignoring the fact that the Kamikazes(神風), which mean 'divine wind', were done to protect their god emperor, Hirohito.
Brock is an example of a failed education system that actually rewards people for memorizing statements of authorities and then spouting them back to the teacher with an understanding tone. Luckier students had teachers that said, "No, that's not good enough. Tell me why you think that in your own words," looking for understanding, which would then be open to argument. These good teachers taught their student how to think critically. Brock's teachers obviously rewarded memorization.
"You are basically a child in a man's body, aping what you see and read, rather than thinking about it and coming to conclusions of your own."
That is a very good way to characterize Brock.
The ending was such a good pun on "apples and oranges", such an original, colourful phrase... and it was all yours, not like his colourful phrases, not all of them his own, as some people have shown.
Thanks for drawing my attention to that video, I'll watch. I have to subscribe to TAA, I suppose. :)
I have to be honest here. The apple/oranges comment was a poke a Brock. Last year when his plagiarism became well known I posted a video (the first one to cover the topic, so much for modesty) in which I questioned a video he made about a poem he claimed his wife composed and send to him. The poem is one that has been circulating on the web call "Women are like Apples". Brock's video was called "THE APPLE TREE STORY (MY LOVE STORY)". It's still on his original page. So it's not all that original
I think you are right. If I post my video as a response to his video, the people who watch it, will only say - Ah, Marx against religion! They won't be able to see the deeper side of Marx's thought, to think of the conditions at the time he lived. They'll be unaware of the unaknowledged influence Marx has had until our times even.
Nicely put, but unfortunately the infuriating thing about Broccoli is I don't think he is capable of hearing what you are trying to tell him. He has constructed a sheltering cocoon of self righteousness that keeps all dissenting opinions safely a bibles distance away from his condescending smugness.
I appreciate you trying, I think he's just too thickheaded to hear your logic.

Just looked at his second channel and it's still up. The first one fell to suspension a day or two ago.
Though it wouldn't have surprised me if he did though.

Thanks.
I hope he stays around, he stands as perfect example of the depth of insanity apologist like himself and those like D'souza actually suffer.
Plus he's just funny to watch sometimes. Like a train wreck involving chickens.

Brock uses word salad with the dressing of diarrhea bullshit to confuse and amaze.
Brock mentions Kim Jung Il, whose religion is Juche. In Juche, The leader of the country is considered God.

Brock knows better, or says he does, it's quite obvious he just doesn't care what the truth is.

I have a video with a quotation of Marx's words about religion and I've posted it as a response to his video. I am curious whether he'll accept it.

Whether he does or not send it to me. You have several Karl Marx vids up and I'd like to see the one for this context.

Hey thanks.
Perhaps I should mail him a copy of my videos. That'd get his attention.
Now to figure out where he lives......Ah, not worth it.
