let's hope this video gets a huge number of viewers, and gives them courage for change

BRAVO! It's refreshing to listen to a liberal come out with guns blazing. Of course von Uexkull is not really a sheepish ambivalent, apologetic "liberal" who wrongly thinks the "conservative celebration" is ok , it just makes mistakes.  Jakob von Uexkull knows elite imposed totalitarian capitalism & neoliberal globalization is bull sh!t and destructive and thus he is pro humanity like Michael Parenti, Liz Warren, Chris Hedges, Ralph Nader, Tariq Ali, Julian Assange, Naomi Klein, Fisk etc

I fail to see how.

"This Guy´s" name is Jakob von Uexkull, he has already contributed far more than what your slim existence could have imagine it....

And, IF I may ask, who are you?

Hopefully other fellows can be more appreciative towards this initiative of showing that knowledge alone will not probably make a difference if we do not change our attitude all together. Thanks

This guy is just an activist disguished as a scholar.

I think that all Mr.Uexkull says is true but I am very pessimistic of any change occurring before its too late. Good video and some good/funny quotes i truly wasn't aware of.
