Power is highly concentrated in America. For example, five corporate conglomerates own 95% of all media. That's elite power.

Dr. Grande is FEARLESS! He will analyze any phenomena or any group.

I think Dr. Grande has a slight obsession with alien lizard people 😂

I don't see symmetry between the left-wing view that America is controlled by capitalists and the right-wing view that it is controlled by Communists. America is a capitalist country, while the view that it is Communist is delusional.

After the online community has die down on that topic, can dr do one topic for Netflix's Cuties and other children show, pageant and child development psychology?

“So far left, they don’t align with the Democratic Party ideals” Who said the Dems were left wing at all?

Anarchy =/= no government, leadership, laws, or society. It’s about horizontal and democratized power structures, rather than vertical and dictatorial ones. Flattening the arch, if you will.

I saw an interview with antifa members where They were asked to define fascism and none of them could...

[KB-wlip]

I don't think that being against fascism is a bad thing.

[aaronlechner]

Dr. Grande is taking a lot of chances... by now he's likely close to the top of the Alien Lizard People's 'humans we need to silence' list.

“Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side, you automatically help out that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, 'he that is not with me is against me'.”
― George Orwell

Two things I found ironic with Antifa was that when they needed help they wanted cops and medics. Another is that as soon as they set up Chaz, the free zones in Seattle, they made borders and had guns to protect themselves.

Anarchy has different definitions whether you're asking people entrenched in establishment an people like Noam Chomsky who actually perform and spread anarchist ideology. Anarchy isn't chaos for the sake of it, it's a rejection of hierarchy being necessary for the function of human civilization, like how atheism is the rejection of theism to being necessary. Anarchy is just the opposite of hierarchy, and of course anyone who accepts hierarchy as necessary would feel like the rejection of that is chaos but it really isn't anymore the secularism is chaos. Democracy as an idea that the people being affected by the consequences of a decision should have a say in that decision, is an anarchist positive and hierarchist negative idea.

Thank you Dr. Grande, I think you are fabulous. I hate these times. In 70 years I have never seen or felt so much hate....scary days.

The most interesting thing about Antifa, is that many of them seem to be quite smart. The fbi has actually complained that its agents have difficulty infiltrating them and related “Left Anarchist” groups, because the agents don’t have time to read all the theory. A lot of the arrestees have academic positions - “bike lock guy” was a community college instructor for example.
Their doxing, and communication networks seem to be run by people with extensive knowledge of computer science.
You should do an episode about Emily Gorsinski (not the right spelling, but good enough for google). She has apparently provided a lot of the information for Roberta Kaplan’s lawsuit against “Unite the Right” and has worked as a data scientist for a company that makes drones for the US military.

I agree with you in condemning violence, but people on the far left doesn't believe in the same conspiracy theories that the far right believes, what they believe(and rightly so) is that individuals and corporations can funnel money throug politics by funding campaings to get politician to serve their interests.

[petrairene]

Actually antifa isn't a homogenous group. It has a violent leftist part, but antifa as a movement also contains all sorts of other people who peacefully work and campaign against fascistic and other right wing activities. That includes positive activities like exit coucelling, monitoring, collecting and providing information about right wing activities, councelling school classes etc. Some of the people doing that work are even ex neonazis.

I would like for dr grande to make a video about himself. Maybe he could even smile in the thumbnail 😂 what brought him to YouTube? What does he like and dislike about YouTube? What are his favorite YouTube channels. Etc

[MancubianCandidate]

Comments section here should be good 😂

If I give you a million dollars towards your political campaign, and you don't believe that I expect something in return, then you might be living in a fantasy world. The destructive practice of unlimited campaign finance is not a conspiracy theory.
