Interesting video. What stood out to me the most was the phrase "a dangerous move towards Far-Right nationalism". That's interesting on several levels to me, but it does go along with a political theory I've been batting around lately - that "communism" never really left us, it just changed it's name to "globalism" and started picking up steam. I may more fully develop that theory in another thread later, but for the time being I find it odd that people are seeing "nationalism" as "dangerous" - it hasn't been 30 years ago that was the patriotic norm... but now the world has slid so far Left into Globalism that it is now seen as "dangerous". I have to ask myself - dangerous to WHOM?
Nationalism has always been a dangerous thing to communists (since communists were collectivists, and had designs on global domination, which is hard to accomplish with nationalistic fervor insisting on borders), but now it appears that, since the Globalists have donned that collectivist mantle, it's now dangerous to Globalists.
And rightfully so... but how have they managed to convince the proletariat masses to view patriotism - i.e. what they are calling "nationalism" - as a "dangerous" thing? The answer, as is so often the case, is a "legacy media" campaign. We KNOW who controls the legacy media, and just as Orwell forecast in his writings, it has proven to be an effective propaganda organ.
People only"know" what they are told, and as the older patriotic generations die off, all they are being told is what the legacy media - i.e. TPTB - wants them to hear and believe.
Orwell would be proud of them... or, perhaps, simply aghast that they actually fell for it.
