Steph I will be glad to get your book. Can't afford it now but when I settle the scum bag cops and crown that railroaded me into jail I will be ordering with a big grin.

[stefbot]

@scarmenl the books are free now my friend, and I'm so sorry to hear about your troubles

[Fetchdafish]

Dear god this opened my eyes. Stef you are so brilliant! I don't completely agree with you on every subject do please keep doing what you're doing. I might even donate.

I did want to point out though, that in fact Germany was the one to declare war on and attack the United States first, which if you entertained statist outlook for just a second, I guess you'd see that they did kind of have to answer to that. Germans sinking private merchant ships, the interests of US citizens.

[stefbot]

That is true, but the US was not exactly neutral, but was loaning and giving money, ships and weapons to the Allies...

[Ashkoren]

right, but what you said about "deflation is expected in a rationally productive economy" is actually wrong, and I'm disappointed about that. Deflation is a sign of shrinking economy, the ideal situation is of course when the money supply equals exactly the domestic output, but is hardly achievable.

[stefbot]

Deflation occurred throughout the US economy in the nineteenth century, are you saying that it was shrinking at this time?

[khemeticone]

some of what you say is fact. a lot of what you say is just what you've been told by the books u choose 2 believe. most applies only to white men.

u lose credibility when u discuss in terms of "white guys" as u say. the look on your face speaks 2 this. people of colour & women r more free in many ways & that needs 2b integrated not excused, but it ruins your scenario a bit. saying "no offense" doesn't excuse. in wars freedom is lost by some, gained by others but u only care about wt men.

We are free to be enslaved by the career of our choice.

[knocte]

I agree with pretty much the majority of what you say in this video.

But you fail to acknowledge about an even worse enemy of freedom: corporations. Today, there are corporations that have more profits (which end up being translated to power) than entire countries.

Even if you diminish the power and the size of governments to what we had before both World Wars, we would end up being controlled by corporations. And honestly I don't know what I prefer.

The Lucitania is now proven to be torpedoed. Was on a documentary a few years ago. The hole was found I believe and the coal dust blew up.

It was Salonica front that was crucial to end war and Serbs breached it 1st. Austria-hungary was ended by Serbs and bulgarians too. germans were not only that fought

@WilliamHollender Huns fought roman empire and ruled on germanics



[matti1003]

Well Stefan, I admire your sentiment and agree with your conclusions, but your analysis of the Second World War is very simplistic indeed.

[Hashishin13]

@nem700 What a great argument you present. You should start your own religion since your arguments don't even need evidence, you'd fit right in.

[nem700]

@Hashishin13

you're wrong, but keep living that myth.

[Hashishin13]

@nem700 For starters fascism IS socialism. Fascism comes from the word fasci which is an axe made up of many sticks with an axe head at the top bound tightly by leather straps, it represents the citizens being bound together, in a socialistic manner, to increase their strength.

Nothing is wrong with equality, equality under the law is a great thing. The problem is that socialists don't want to achieve equality under the law they want to steal from people and give to others, which is criminal.

[nem700]

Noone was against so called 'socialism'. This is illustrated by the fact the NHS was established, and the Labour Party, which was truly socialist back then, got elected. It's kind of ironic how you are creating a myth yourself.
