"American sadism" what a load of bollocks. I've lived a lot of decades now, including plenty of time in many parts of USA, sampling this that and the other. I have also been a pretty close watcher of much video, writings, photos and talk about USA and a lot of other countries too. If I judged by what I have personally witnessed it's so far from average reality as to be totally away in madness. T hat's not to say the things he mentioned were not true because I know, or guess, they are. For example I have not seen such pornography he described because I choose not to see any pornography, but I guess some of it exists = 100 people out of 300 million maybe. Abu Grahib was nasty but far less so that the average Maori cannibal killing and eating and genteel compared with Pol Pot's disciple, Mao's murdering, Stalin's brutality, Rwanda's sorting out the opposition, South Africa's farming transfer of property from Eurofarmers, IRA's Omagh bombing, Mafia's malevolence, the Tower of London [in bygone times], Japan's Nanking and everywhere else horrors, etc etc etc. The instances he goes on about are true [as many as I read, and I assume to be so], but in the big context of life in USA and American actions around the world, it focuses on the relatively few horrific crimes. But USA does have a right to rule attitude and is scary in a bullying way. He's also an Orange Man Bad, loony lefty TDS type. And he's envious - accusing successful people like Elon Musk, and "oligarchs" of greed and evil, whereas they actually created enormous value for everyone and got paid according and good for them. Hooray for Steve Jobs, Irwin Jacobs, and swarms of others who got rich. I got sick of reading half way through, skimmed some more and gave up. Mqurice Edit.. reading is quicker and easier that listening. I just tried listening/watching and gave up in a minute or two. Pathetic commie LLL TDS envy muck. Derek Chauvin did not do what he said. And just how does he know about that porn stuff he discussed? I think he watched it!!! How much did he have to watch to make sure he was getting the right idea and he must have gone looking for that horrible stuff? His introductory narrative blah blah blah LLL mantra was really all I should have bothered with.
