Doc, the phrase "very unique" doesn't exist; it is nonsensical. Something is either unique, or it is not. It can't be partially unique, very unique, predominantly unique, or any other portion of uniqueness. Use your critical thinking and brush up on your English. How do you expect to accurately convey your meaning if your communication skills are not very effective?

Many excellent points, so glad that the example of Nazi psychology was used.

Lets see how far they go with the depopulation agenda, seems like it could go both ways. Way #1 People are so institutionalized (in general) that when the 3rd step comes (Crisis) they will go along with step #4 (Normalization) and many die in the FEMA (concentration) camps, ect. Way #2 People don't like being treated like crap and bloody civil wars breaks out and prevents them from killing billions.

I don't want to think critically.

@xyzllii very insightful and meaningful thing: you taking the time to point that out.

@xyzllii I just meant to suggest that that user sleep on it and maybe come back to this video later. I suppose my comment was patronizing. My aim was instead to be encouraging. I read some other comments on the video that seemed to indicate some other users did not understand the video, and instead of withholding making a conclusion about the video, the other users dismissed the content and/or topic.

@matters5 How patronising is that...I really have to smile..

[xyzllii]

@RiverKWhite 'Very' unique is splitting n infinitive...abstract is abstract...not very....sigh...

[matters5]

@Poemsapennyeach That's OK! Come back to it another time. The fact that you're not dismissing it outright says something very positive about you.
