So he was grabbing his heart and then throwing it.
To do a proper Nazi salute, one first places his hand (not closed hand) on heart while keeping hand straight, then he extends the arm forward and this time makes sure the entire arm is straight and that hand isnt closed, and then he declares "Hail Hitler".
His Nazi salute wasnt good because he forgot to say "Hail Hitler".

The USA will be Trump's biggest bankruptcy.
Last time he created 8 trillion debt. Maybe this time, he can do 16 trillion debt in 4 years.

People think that Donald Trump is just a corrupt individual and source of problem.
Donald Trump is actually not any kind of source, but the expected result of what is generally a corrupt and retarded society and government.
To make it simple, if president is stupid and corrupt, then people probably arent much better, given what they elected. Well, some people are smart, but smart are always minority.

I recently watched some cheeto-eater on a youtube debate explaining why 3+ years of prison for trespassing was not enough of a punishment.
People base their thinking on the political opinions they were indoctrinated with.
For example, in auguration speech, some woman said that in USA, there is equality before the law. Not sure how anyone can be so stupid to even think that, let alone say it in a speech during the inauguration of Satan.

But your biological body does not follow your mind. It follows sex chromosomes.
Biological body has nothing to do with being a man. I would be a woman even if I had nothing but working brain.

Sex chromosomes usually determine whether you are female or male. Women are XX. Men are XY.
No. It works like this: if you want to be a man, then you are a man.

You guys still think law is equal for all.
Everyone in the past knew that big, powerful and capable people are immune to law.
Now people live in some delusion that law punishes every crime, and that it even does so proportionally and in a just way. There is even a part of population who doesnt know that there are at least 10,000 innocent people in US prisons, while at the same time most criminals never get caught. Many people are even retarded enough to think that law and morality are same thing.
This is how human intelligence degraded over thousands of years after the arrival of Christianity.

Consequences:
Workers are pitted against each other for jobs, wages, and resources.
Solidarity and cooperation are undermined.
Human relationships become instrumentalized, reduced to means of achieving economic ends.
Analogy:
Imagine a society where everyone is constantly competing for scarce resources, leading to distrust, suspicion, and a breakdown of social bonds. This illustrates how capitalism can create a deeply fragmented and alienated society.
In essence, Marx argues that capitalism systematically dehumanizes workers by:
Commodifying labor:
Treating human labor as a commodity to be bought and sold in the marketplace.
Exploiting labor:
Extracting surplus value from workers while paying them less than the value they create.
Alienating workers from their own humanity:
Reducing them to mere instruments of production and depriving them of the opportunity to live fulfilling and meaningful lives.
1. Alienation as a Multi-faceted Phenomenon:
From the Product: This is perhaps the most obvious form. Workers produce goods that they do not own or control. Their labor becomes a commodity, a thing to be bought and sold in the market, rather than an expression of their own creative potential.
Key Point:
This not only robs workers of the fruits of their labor but also alienates them from the creative process itself. They become mere appendages to the machine, their skills and ingenuity exploited for the profit of others.
From the Act of Labor: Work under capitalism is not freely chosen, but a necessity for survival. Workers are forced to sell their labor-power as a commodity to earn a living. This reduces work to a mere means of subsistence, devoid of intrinsic value or personal fulfillment.
Key Point:
This leads to a profound sense of meaninglessness and dehumanization. Workers become alienated from their own bodies and minds, their labor becoming a source of drudgery and suffering rather than a source of joy and self-realization.
From Species-Being:
Marx argued that humans are inherently creative and social beings. He referred to this as "species-being." Capitalism, however, alienates workers from their true human nature by reducing them to mere cogs in the machine of production.
Key Point:
This is perhaps the most profound form of alienation. It involves the suppression of human potential, the denial of our capacity for creativity, self-expression, and genuine human connection.
From Other Humans:
Capitalism fosters competition and individualism, driving a wedge between workers. The pursuit of profit leads to social divisions and an "every man for himself" mentality.
Key Point:
This creates a deeply fragmented and alienated society where solidarity and cooperation are undermined. Human relationships become instrumentalized, reduced to means of achieving economic ends rather than genuine expressions of human connection.
2. The Role of Private Property:
Key Point:
Marx saw private property as the root cause of alienation. In capitalist society, the means of production (land, factories, tools) are owned by a small class of capitalists, while the vast majority of people own nothing but their labor-power. This creates a fundamental power imbalance and leads to the exploitation of workers.
3. The Importance of Human Need:
Key Point: Marx emphasized that human needs should be the driving force of production, not the pursuit of profit. In a truly human society, work would be freely chosen and fulfilling, allowing individuals to express their creativity and contribute to the well-being of others.
4. The Vision of Communism:
Key Point: The Manuscripts offer a vision of a communist society where:
Labor is freely chosen and fulfilling.
Workers own the means of production.
Cooperation and solidarity replace competition.
Humans are free to develop their full potential and live truly human lives.
In the Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844, Marx argues that capitalism systematically harms human intelligence and humanity itself in several profound ways:
Degradation of Intellectual Capacity:
Repetitive and Dehumanizing Labor:
Capitalist production often involves repetitive, monotonous tasks that require little to no intellectual engagement. This "de-skilling" of labor reduces workers to mere appendages to the machine, stifling their creativity and critical thinking abilities.
Alienation from the Creative Process:
As discussed earlier, workers are alienated from the product of their labor. They have no control over the design, production, or distribution of the goods they create. This separation from the creative process diminishes their intellectual contribution and hinders their ability to develop their full potential.
Suppression of Human Potential:
Focus on Material Accumulation: Capitalism prioritizes the accumulation of wealth and material possessions, leading individuals to prioritize financial gain over intellectual and spiritual growth.
Competition and Individualism: The competitive nature of capitalism fosters individualism and self-interest, hindering the development of collective intelligence and cooperation.
Commodification of Everything: Under capitalism, everything, including human relationships and even human beings themselves, can be commodified and reduced to a market value.This dehumanizes individuals and undermines their intrinsic worth.
Distorted Values and Priorities:
Materialism and Consumerism: Capitalism encourages consumerism and the pursuit of material possessions, leading to a distorted value system where material wealth is equated with happiness and success.
Short-term Gains over Long-term Well-being: The relentless pursuit of profit often leads to short-sighted decisions that have detrimental long-term consequences for both individuals and society as a whole.
In essence, Marx believed that capitalism:
Stunts intellectual growth:
By reducing workers to mere cogs in the machine of production and prioritizing material accumulation over intellectual and spiritual development.
Dehumanizes individuals:
By commodifying human labor and reducing human relationships to mere economic transactions.
Distorts societal values:
By prioritizing material wealth and short-term gains over long-term well-being and human flourishing.
It's important to note: Marx's critique of capitalism is complex and nuanced. He did not simply condemn all forms of work or all aspects of modern society. He recognized the potential for human flourishing and the importance of technological progress. However, he argued that the capitalist system, with its inherent contradictions and exploitative tendencies, ultimately hinders human development and creates a deeply alienated and dehumanized society.
The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844, while a foundational work in Marxist thought, often focuses on well-known concepts like alienation and the critique of political economy. However, it contains some lesser-known yet insightful passages:
On the Nature of Human Needs: Marx argues that human needs are not static or fixed. They are dynamic and evolve with society and individual development. He critiques the idea of limited, basic needs, suggesting that human potential is boundless and our needs reflect our capacity for growth and self-realization.
Critique of "Natural Rights": While acknowledging the historical significance of the concept of natural rights, Marx criticizes its limitations. He argues that these rights, often conceived as individual and absolute, can be used to justify and maintain existing social inequalities. He emphasizes the social and historical nature of human rights, arguing that true freedom and equality require a transformation of society.
The Importance of "Species-Being": Marx introduces the concept of "species-being" to describe the essence of human nature. It refers to the creative and productive capacities that distinguish humans from other animals. Alienated labor, according to Marx, prevents individuals from realizing their full potential as species-beings, leading to a sense of meaninglessness and despair.
The Role of Communism:
Marx envisions communism as a society where individuals are free to develop their full potential. It is not simply about the distribution of wealth, but about creating conditions where individuals can engage in freely chosen, creative activities and develop their true selves.
In Karl Marx's Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844, "species-being" refers to the unique essence of human nature, distinguishing us from other animals. Here's a breakdown:
Key Characteristics of Species-Being:
Creative and Productive Activity:
Humans are inherently driven to create and produce. This isn't just about survival; it's about expressing ourselves, shaping our environment, and leaving our mark on the world.
Conscious and Free Activity: Unlike animals whose actions are primarily instinctual, humans have the capacity for conscious, self-aware action. We can plan, deliberate, and choose our course of action.
Social and Cooperative:
Humans are inherently social beings. Our creativity and productivity are often intertwined with cooperation and collaboration with others. We thrive in communities and through social interaction.
Self-Realization:
Species-being is about fulfilling our potential as human beings. It's about living a life of meaning and purpose, engaging in activities that are fulfilling and enriching.
Alienation and Species-Being:
Marx argues that capitalist society alienates us from our species-being. Here's how:
Alienation from the Product of Labor: Workers do not own the products they create. Their labor is exploited, and the fruits of their work belong to the capitalist. This disconnects the worker from the tangible results of their effort.
Alienation from the Act of Production: Workers are reduced to mere cogs in the machine of production. They have no control over the production process and are forced to perform repetitive, dehumanizing tasks. This alienates them from the creative and fulfilling aspects of work.
Alienation from Species-Being: This is the most profound form of alienation. When workers are alienated from the product of their labor and the act of production itself, they are also alienated from their own human essence. They lose their sense of purpose, creativity, and connection to the world around them.
In essence, species-being represents the ideal of human existence – a life of creativity, freedom, and fulfillment. Capitalism, according to Marx, hinders this ideal by reducing individuals to mere commodities and exploiting their labor.
Created:
"The more the worker exerts himself, the more powerful becomes the alien objective world which he creates over against himself, the poorer he becomes in his inner life, and the less he belongs to himself."
This illustrates the paradox of capitalism, where increased production leads to a diminished sense of self for the worker. The fruits of their labor become a source of alienation rather than empowerment.
"The worker puts his life into the object; but now it no longer belongs to him, but to the object."
This poignantly captures the essence of alienation, where the worker's creative energy and life force are absorbed by the product they create, which then exists independently of them.
"A man is alienated from himself, first, inasmuch as he is alienated from labor, for labor is his vital activity."
"The worker becomes all the poorer the more wealth he produces, the more his production increases in power and size. The worker becomes an ever cheaper commodity the more commodities he creates. The devaluation of the human world increases in direct proportion to the increase in value of the world of things. Labor produces not only commodities; it produces itself and the worker as a commodity — and this in the proportion in which it produces commodities in general."
"Man is a species-being, not only because in theory and in practice he makes the species – both his own and those of other things – his object, but also – and this is simply another way of expressing it – because he treats himself as the actual, living species, as a universal and therefore free being."
"In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic."
"Private property is thus the product, result and necessary consequence of alienated labor, its necessary expression. Therefore, it is unjust in itself, even if it were acquired in a just manner."
"In the sphere of political economy, man's own act is to him an alien power, becomes independent of him and confronts him as an autonomous force."
"The more man puts into the object, the less he receives from it; the more his product is powerful, the more powerless he is himself; the more his work is civilized, the more barbarous he becomes; the more refined his product, the more deformed becomes the worker; the more intellectual his creation, the more stupid becomes the creator."
"The worker becomes an object for himself. For on the one hand he only feels himself outside his work, and in his work feels outside himself. He feels at home when he is not working and not at home when he is working. His labor is therefore not voluntary, but forced; it is forced labor. It is therefore not the satisfaction of a need; it is merely a means to satisfy needs external to it."
"In the life-process he produces himself, and in producing the objective world he duplicates himself in it and enjoys it."
"In tearing away man from his object, from his product, alienated labor tears from him his species-life, his generic life, both objectively and subjectively."
"Money is the alienated essence of man's labor and life, and this alien essence dominates him. The more he produces in wealth, the more he falls under the dominion of his product, money."
"Money is the bond binding me to human life, binding society to me, connecting me with nature and man, is not money the bond of all bonds?"
The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844, a collection of unpublished writings by Karl Marx, offer a profound critique of capitalism and explore the concept of alienation as its central flaw. Here's a breakdown of key ideas:
1. Alienation of Labor:
Essence vs. Existence:
Marx argues that humans are inherently creative beings. Our essence lies in our ability to consciously shape and transform the world through labor. However, under capitalism, this creative potential is alienated.
Fourfold Alienation:
Alienation from the product of labor:
Workers produce goods that they do not own or control. The product of their labor becomes a commodity, a source of profit for the capitalist, while the worker receives only a wage.
Alienation from the act of production:
The worker is forced to perform repetitive, monotonous tasks, losing control over the creative process and experiencing labor as a form of drudgery.
Alienation from species-being:
Humans are social creatures who find fulfillment in cooperative activity. Capitalism, however, pits workers against each other in competition for jobs and wages, hindering genuine human connection.
• Alienation from oneself:
As a result of the other forms of alienation, workers become estranged from their own humanity. They feel powerless, dehumanized, and reduced to mere cogs in the capitalist machine.
2. Critique of Political Economy:
Commodification of All:
Capitalism transforms everything – land, labor, even human relationships – into commodities to be bought and sold in the marketplace. This commodification of life undermines human values and social bonds.
Exploitation:
Marx argues that the capitalist system is inherently exploitative. Workers create value through their labor, but only receive a portion of it as wages. The surplus value, the difference between the value created and the wages paid, is appropriated by the capitalist as profit.
3. Humanism and Communism:
True Humanism:
Marx envisioned a communist society where humans could freely develop their creative potential and live fulfilling lives. In such a society, labor would no longer be a means of survival but a source of joy and self-realization.
Communal Ownership:
To overcome alienation, Marx believed that private property needed to be abolished and replaced with communal ownership of the means of production.This would allow workers to control their labor and reap the full fruits of their efforts.
The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 is a collection of unpublished writings by Karl Marx where he explores the concept of alienation within capitalist society.
Here's a summary:
Core Argument:
Marx argues that under capitalism, workers become alienated from:
Their product:
They don't own what they produce, and the product becomes a commodity to be sold, not a reflection of their own creative potential.
Their labor:
Work becomes a means of survival, not a fulfilling activity. It is forced and dehumanizing.
Themselves:
Workers become estranged from their own human essence, their ability to creatively shape their world.
Each other:
Competition and the pursuit of profit create social divisions and estrangement between people.
Human Essence (Species-Being):
Marx posits that humans are inherently creative and social beings. They find fulfillment in productive activity that expresses their individuality and connects them to others.
Critique of Capitalism: Capitalism, with its emphasis on profit and the exploitation of labor, prevents humans from realizing their full potential. It reduces them to commodities and alienates them from their true nature.
Vision of Communism:
Marx envisions a communist society where:
Labor is freely chosen and fulfilling.
Workers own the means of production.
Cooperation and solidarity replace competition.
Humans are free to develop their full potential and live truly human lives.
The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 delve deep into the dehumanizing effects of capitalism, exploring the concept of alienation in four key dimensions:
1. Alienation from the Product of Labor:
Core Idea:
Workers produce goods that they do not own or control. The product of their labor becomes a commodity, an object to be bought and sold in the market, rather than an expression of their own creative potential.
Consequences:
Workers are separated from the fruits of their labor.
They have no say in how their product is used, distributed, or even if it meets a genuine human need.
The product becomes a source of power for the capitalist who owns it, further distancing the worker from their creation.
Analogy:
Imagine an artist painting a masterpiece, only to have it taken away and sold without their consent or any say in how it's displayed or appreciated. This exemplifies how workers are alienated from the very things they bring into existence.
2. Alienation from the Act of Labor:
Core Idea:
Work under capitalism is not a freely chosen activity, but a means of survival. Workers are forced to sell their labor-power as a commodity to survive, reducing work to a mere drudgery.
Consequences:
Labor becomes a means to an end, not an end in itself.
Workers are stripped of their autonomy and creativity.
The act of production becomes a dehumanizing experience, devoid of joy and fulfillment.
Analogy:
Imagine a musician being forced to play the same monotonous tune repeatedly, with no creative input or freedom of expression. This captures the essence of how labor under capitalism can become a soul-crushing experience.
3. Alienation from Species-Being:
Core Idea:
Marx believed that humans are inherently creative and social beings. He referred to this as "species-being." Capitalism, however, alienates workers from their true human nature by reducing them to mere cogs in the machine of production.
Consequences:
Workers lose their sense of themselves as active creators and become passive instruments.
Their capacity for critical thinking and independent action is stifled.
They become estranged from their own humanity, their ability to shape their own lives and the world around them.
Analogy:
Imagine a bird confined to a small cage, unable to fly, sing, or build a nest. This represents how capitalism can cage human potential, preventing individuals from realizing their full capacities.
4. Alienation from Other Humans:
Core Idea:
Capitalism fosters competition and individualism, driving a wedge between workers. The pursuit of profit leads to social divisions and an "every man for himself" mentality.
Created:
Some people have said that Karl Marx never worked a day in his life. By saying that, they concede that they dont consider developing knowledge and intelligence as "working".
Karl Marx worked every day, writing, developing his knowledge and producing many books which are now read in every country in the world, and even has his own subject in schools: Marxism.
Karl Marx wrote "Philosophical manustripts" which talk of moral decline of capitalism.
Karl Marx did not limit himself to mere economical argument. In fact, he wrote about such decline where money becomes the only true moral value.
"If money is the bond binding me to human life, binding society to me, connecting me with nature and man, is not money the bond of all bonds?
Can it not dissolve and bind all ties? Is it not, therefore, also the universal agent of separation?"
"The increase in value of the world of things is directly proportional to the decrease in value of the human world."
"The worker becomes an ever cheaper commodity the more commodities he creates. The devaluation of the human world increases in direct relation to the increase in value of the world of things."
"The more man puts into God, the less he retains in himself."
"The raising of wages excites in the worker the capitalist's mania to get rich, which he, however, can only satisfy by the sacrifice of his mind and body."
"This class has always to sacrifice a part of itself in order not to be wholly destroyed."
"The medieval proverb nulle terre sans seigneur [There is no land without its lord. — Ed.] is thereby replaced by that other proverb, l'argent n'a pas de maître [Money knows no master. — Ed.], wherein is expressed the complete domination of dead matter over man."
"In the economic system, under the rule of private property, the interest which an individual has in society is in precisely inverse proportion to the interest society has in him — just as the interest of the usurer in the spendthrift is by no means identical with the interest of the spendthrift."
"You must make everything that is yours saleable, i.e., useful. If I ask the political economist: Do I obey economic laws if I extract money by offering my body for sale, by surrendering it to another's lust? (The factory workers in France call the prostitution of their wives and daughters the nth working hour, which is literally correct.) — Or am I not acting in keeping with political economy if I sell my friend to the Moroccans? (And the direct sale of men in the form of a trade in conscripts, etc., takes place in all civilized countries.) — Then the political economist replies to me: You do not transgress my laws; but see what Cousin Ethics and Cousin Religion have to say about it. My political economic ethics and religion have nothing to reproach you with, but — But whom am I now to believe, political economy or ethics? — The ethics of political economy is acquisition, work, thrift, sobriety — but political economy promises to satisfy my needs. — The political economy of ethics is the opulence of a good conscience, of virtue, etc.; but how can I live virtuously if I do not live? And how can I have a good conscience if I do not know anything? It stems from the very nature of estrangement that each sphere applies to me a different and opposite yardstick — ethics one and political economy another; for each is a specific estrangement of man and focuses attention on a particular field of estranged essential activity, and each stands in an estranged relation to the other."
"First, the fact that labor is external to the worker, i.e., it does not belong to his intrinsic nature; that in his work, therefore, he does not affirm himself but denies himself, does not feel content but unhappy, does not develop freely his physical and mental energy but mortifies his body and ruins his mind. The worker therefore only feels himself outside his work, and in his work feels outside himself. He feels at home when he is not working, and when he is working he does not feel at home. His labor is therefore not voluntary, but coerced; it is forced labor. It is therefore not the satisfaction of a need; it is merely a means to satisfy needs external to it. Its alien character emerges clearly in the fact that as soon as no physical or other compulsion exists, labor is shunned like the plague. External labor, labor in which man alienates himself, is a labor of self-sacrifice, of mortification. Lastly, the external character of labor for the worker appears in the fact that it is not his own, but someone else’s, that it does not belong to him, that in it he belongs, not to himself, but to another. Just as in religion the spontaneous activity of the human imagination, of the human brain and the human heart, operates on the individual independently of him – that is, operates as an alien, divine or diabolical activity – so is the worker’s activity not his spontaneous activity. It belongs to another; it is the loss of his self."
"We also understand, therefore, that wages and private property are identical. Indeed, where the product, as the object of labor, pays for labor itself, there the wage is but a necessary consequence of labor’s estrangement. Likewise, in the wage of labor, labor does not appear as an end in itself but as the servant of the wage..."
"The extremity of this bondage is that it is only as a worker that he continues to maintain himself as a physical subject, and that it is only as a physical subject that he is a worker."
"Thus political economy — despite its worldly and voluptuous appearance — is a true moral science, the most moral of all the sciences. Self-renunciation, the renunciation of life and of all human needs, is its principal thesis. The less you eat, drink and buy books; the less you go to the theater, the dance hall, the public house, the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you save — the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor rust will devour — your capital. The less you are, the less you express your own life, the more you have, i.e., the greater is your alienated life, the greater is the store of your estranged being. Everything which the political economist takes from you in life and in humanity, he replaces for you in money and in wealth; and all the things which you cannot do, your money can do. It can eat and drink, go to the dance hall and the theater; it can travel, it can appropriate art, learning, the treasures of the past, political power — all this it can appropriate for you — it can buy all this: it is true endowment. Yet being all this, it wants to do nothing but create itself, buy itself; for everything else is after all its servant, and when I have the master I have the servant and do not need his servant. All passions and all activity must therefore be submerged in avarice. The worker may only have enough for him to want to live, and may only want to live in order to have that."
"Communism as the positive transcendence of private property as human self-estrangement, and therefore as the real appropriation of the human essence by and for man; communism therefore as the complete return of man to himself as a social (i.e., human) being — a return accomplished consciously and embracing the entire wealth of previous development. This communism, as fully developed naturalism, equals humanism, and as fully developed humanism equals naturalism; it is the genuine resolution of the conflict between man and nature and between man and man — the true resolution of the strife between existence and essence, between objectification and self-confirmation, between freedom and necessity, between the individual and the species. Communism is the riddle of history solved, and it knows itself to be this solution."
"[T]he more the worker spends himself, the more powerful becomes the alien world of objects which he creates over and against himself, the poorer he himself — his inner world — becomes, the less belongs to him as his own. It is the same in religion. The more man puts into God, the less he retains in himself. The worker puts his life into the object; but now his life no longer belongs to him but to the object. Hence, the greater this activity, the more the worker lacks objects. Whatever the product of his labor is, he is not. Therefore, the greater the product, the less is he himself. The alienation of the worker in his product means not only that his labor becomes an object, an external existence, but that it exists outside him, independently, as something alien to him, and that it becomes a power on its own confronting him. It means that the life which he has conferred on the object confronts him as something hostile and alien."
"The worker becomes an ever cheaper commodity the more commodities he creates."
This highlights the dehumanizing effect of capitalism, where workers are reduced to mere commodities in the market, their value decreasing as their productivity increases.
"Life activity itself appears only as a means to life, and not as its end."
This emphasizes the capitalist system's focus on material accumulation over human flourishing. Workers are driven to produce for the sake of profit, sacrificing their own well-being and genuine human experiences."
"A man is alienated from himself, first, inasmuch as he is alienated from labor, for labor is his vital activity."
This quote underscores the profound impact of alienated labor on the human spirit. When labor is not a source of fulfillment and self-expression, it leads to a sense of disconnection from one's own humanity.

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations
I am not sure if I am a prophet to the nations.

Circulation in the news media?
Media is very interested in First Ladies who do push ups against the wall.

And that is not a picture of Shila. OR is it?
Shila says that she is a shy girl. She also says she would eat anything.

She does her pushups against the wall like you do.
She just does it naked to improve circulation.

Thats that for inauguration. Now we must watch Trump's moves, and how does he plan to manage the world with this one chance he has. If he fails in next 4 years, he is not getting elected again for sure. I am not going to predict anything, because Trump will either have great success or great failure. He is based on being extreme like that.

YouTube used to have free speech 15 years ago. You could post almost any comment. Now, its very sensitive. Sometimes I post a comment only to find that my comment wasnt even posted, but removed automatically. Plus, owners of channels often remove any opposition comments. Its like the whole site is just an echo chamber where people only want to read what they agree with.

Trump is for freedom of speech unless it's criticizing Israel or Jews.
I mean, YouTube is going to remove comments and videos if people report them or if spam filter catches them. I wonder if free speech on social media can be increased.

Trump said that he is for free speech, so I kinda hope he will make some effort there.
Also, he literally just said he is an imperialist who will take Panama as US territory, which is great because so far all the wars US fought didnt result in increase of US territory.
