--- "Very useful, eye opening discussion for the very intelligent freepers. I do not recommend it for the others." Followed by: "Guess I'll skip it then!"

Sometimes the rush to be clever results in an unforced error.

Reading and considering many perspectives on any issue is generally advisable. Trusting in the Biden administration, the New York Times and CNN are not exactly "many perspectives."

Reading and considering many perspectives on any issue is generally advisable.

Well, I'm not the condescending douchenozzle who said that this is something that could only be understood by "very intelligent freepers", and that the others shouldn't bother. That level of condescension immediately sent up a red flag that this is probably somebody whose recimmendations I should disregard.

Your response suggests that you too are somebody who's advice I should not take either. Principally because you advised me that "reading" other perspectives was valuable, but this particular perspective is a two plus hour YouTube video that I'd obviously have to watch - for two freaking hours - rather than read.

So first, you apparently don't understand the difference between reading, and watching. Either that, or you are recommending that I click on a link that you yourself haven't checked out.

But second, there is no way I am going to take 2+ hours out of the day to watch a YouTube video of someone of whom I have never heard, based on recommendations by people I don't know and whose judgment I have no reason to trust.,

In fact, I think that is the course that most "very intelligent Freepers" will choose.

When the source linked by the poster is an avowed socialist touting the advantages of Russia, North Korea, China and Iran I doubt that their perspective is worth much.
