This event, while not unique in the least, is a striking example of how corporate negligence causes environmental an humanitarian disasters. In the weeks since the crash, several other trains have derailed, including at least one more of Norfolk Southern's. Why is this such a common problem? What has led to the US having over 1,000 derailments per year, and why isn't anything being done about it? We flew out to East Palestine to speak to residents and take a look at the issue.

You all probably remember the girlboss phenomenon of the last decade. Neoliberal individualism infested the west's once-emancipatory feminist theory and praxis and turned it into a hollow, performative act by upper class white women. What's the deal?

One of the major stumbling blocks for new lefties is getting stuck in the "why can't we just have social democracy?" phase. On the surface, the Nordic Model looks pretty good - social safety nets, great public services, better workers' rights...so what's the problem?

You've probably heard the word "socialism" in the media. More often than not, it's used as a pejorative. Why is that? Is socialism really that bad, or is there something else going on? In this episode, we'll take a look at socialism at the very surface level. This video is intended to be sent to friends and family who may be familiar with the term, but don't really understand what socialism is all about. I hope you find it helpful!

We all understand that climate change is real, it's here, and that the consequences of our inaction will be disastrous for our species and countless other forms of life around the world. But what happens when those in positions of power see climate change as a means to an end? A way to make truly draconian policies seem rational? In this week's episode, we're talking about two distinct forms of climate fascism: Fossil Fascism and Ecofascism.

It should be common knowledge that the troubling undercurrent of outright fascism has been becoming more and more mainstream over recent years. With new fascist and Neo-nazi groups popping up all the time, and with their rhetoric becoming ever more grotesque and anti-human, I think it's important we understand what's going on.

This week we're talking about everyone's favorite grillpilled neighbor - the American "centrist" or "moderate". As much as they like to see themselves as enlightened arbiters of progress, centrists are little more than spoilers for actual democratic progress at best, and complete lackeys for the Right in most cases. Let's look at the insufficiency of the moderate worldview! How "Moderates" Serve The Right – Second Thought SUBSCRIBE HERE: http://bit.ly/2nFsvTS New video every Friday!

Get your first three months of Audible 60% off! Visit https://audible.com/secondthought In America, more than in any other country in the world, three numbers can change just about everything. From your job, to your home, to your insurance, three digits can command where you can live, what you can buy, and what it’ll cost you. To most Americans today, this is just “the way it is,” but that idea, and the idea behind credit scores in general, is deeply complicated, discriminatory, and rooted in a long history of our financial system driving an ever bigger wedge between the rich and the poor. In this episode, we’re looking at credit scores. We’re going over everything wrong with our modern credit reporting system, how you might hear people defending this broken metric, and the why and the how that landed us here.

If you live in the US, you already know who likes to talk about freedom and liberty the most. In the national contest over who gets to represent what values, the Republican party, and conservatives in general, have monopolized the idea that their politics are the politics of freedom.

With jobs being automated and handed off to machines at an ever-increasing pace, it's only natural to consider what our future will look like. Will humans have more free time to spend with loved ones? More time to pursue hobbies and fulfilling activities? Or will the status quo prevail, leaving us to work increasingly meaningless jobs for the sake of squeezing every penny of profit out of human life? Let's talk about two possible futures of automation.

This week I thought it would be good to talk about a very important part of revolution - the role of optimism. While it's often easy to fall into doomerism, remaining dedicated, principled, and optimistic is critical to the success of any movement.

If you've been keeping up with online news, you may have seen coverage of a Navy anti-terrorism training document that equated socialists and anarchists with neo-nazis. Even if you don't consider yourself a member of the political left, it should be obvious that this is an absurd comparison. In this episode, we're talking about the vague, unhelpful application of the word "terrorism" and what it means for the political left, and the United States as a whole.

It seems that these people, despite their fierce devotion to their faith, have no idea what the Bible actually calls them to do. In this episode, we're taking a look at how christianity was adopted and perverted by the American political Right, and how it differs from the christianity of the early church.

We hear a lot about the Democrats being "the radical left." Most of us know this obviously isn't the case, but what many Americans don't realize is that the Democrats should not be considered left-wing at all.

It’s no secret that Americans love to hear about billionaires. You’ll find them everywhere. They’re on the news [Bezos space launch], have their own TV shows, movies, and even make their way to elected office. Specifically, we consistently give massive audiences to “self-made” billionaires, the people who, unlike the aristocrats and monarchs of yore, didn’t simply inherit their wealth. In this episode, we’re talking about the obsession with so-called “self-made” billionaires, how misleading that term can be, and everything wrong with the myth of the “self-made person.” The Myth Of The "Self-Made" Billionaire – Second Thought SUBSCRIBE HERE: http://bit.ly/2nFsvTS New video every Friday!

We all heard President Biden give the hypothetical...what would it be like if the United States meddled in foreign affairs? If you're even remotely familiar with US history, you should realize that's an absurd question to ask. The United States is guilty of the most foreign interventions of any nation, by far. We've interfered in places like Chile, Nicaragua, Cuba, Bolivia, and dozens of other countries, especially those in the global south. In this episode, we'll debunk the myth that the US doesn't meddle in foreign affairs, and explain that our interventions are not in the name of "freedom and democracy."

If you thought McCarthyism was gone...well, no such luck. In this episode, we'll discuss the US' newest wave of reactionary, anti-communist rhetoric and legislation. As capitalism's popularity wanes among the American population and the economic system begins to show signs of impending collapse, we should expect more kneejerk measures like these to try to rally support around a failing system.

According to new polling, just half of young Americans hold a favorable view of capitalism. This tracks with other, similar polls, but why is it happening? What is it about capitalism that is so unappealing to young people? In this episode, we'll discuss the trend away from capitalism, the appeal of socialism as an alternative, and consider what normal people can do to help hasten the demise of the predatory, outdated system that is capitalism.

The results may surprise you.

This video is a major departure from the usual content on my channel, but I think it's necessary. This particular moment in American and world history demands that we all take an honest look at the trajectory of the United States of America. The current system is untenable and the Coronavirus pandemic has laid bare how truly ill-prepared the country is to protect its citizens. When corporations and the ultra-wealthy are the primary concern of those in power, the majority will suffer. This video is my attempt to contribute some small amount to the national conversation about what America is, and what it needs to become.

In this video we do a little speculating! What could NASA do with the US military's massive 600 billion dollar annual budget? EDIT: Made a little mistake at 0:29...I pressed the greater than sign when it should be less than. My apologies! Edit 2: I have also realized that I took NASA's budget percentage from the TOTAL United States annual budget, not the DISCRETIONARY budget like I used for the military. It's still a very small percentage, but I apologize nonetheless. Please remember to SUBSCRIBE! Second Thought is a channel devoted to the things in life worth considering. New videos every week!
