    Did she really say that building a wall doesn’t promote security? If the only people who can come inside your house need to use the front door to get in, then you have a much better chance at vetting who you allow into your home to keep yourself and family safe. Having secure borders is a great solution to the problem of millions of unknown people crossing your borders, many of which have been proven to have cartel connections, been involved in trafficking of both drugs and children, and have now murdered many Americans.

      lol she didn’t say secure borders were not important. You’re missing the point entirely, which actually proves her point. Have you ever left your odor open and expected a child safety gate to keep people out? That’s about as effective as relying on a fence for border security. America is not a house.

      @ComeWeFlyit’s much more precious than a house … grow up

      @ComeWeFlyThats why a border wall was necessary. It’s not a “fence” it a massive wall that makes it impossible for people to climb over, under, or through, so there only way into the country is through the official ports of entry. The border wall would be the walls of your house and the door would be the ports of entry if you wanted to keep the analogy.

    During instability people look to the voice that seems to guarantee the most stability with the least cost. And in most cases, the lowest cost is something of which you have no understanding

    Capital can’t maintain their control when democracy remains.

    No wrong. Its elite overproduction. Creating too many educated elite without any positions to fill.

    Demographic changes are due misguided immigration policy to fill for the inadequate educated elite.

    This lowers the market value of labor and creates cahnces for opportunistic educated elite to take control. Aka populists.

    You have a few solutions, stop mass migration, stop elite over production, or participate in this farce and begin repressing political enemies.

    the crisis of democracy lies in the fact that there is no democracy. As long as the economy is run autocratically it is irrelevant who wins the next election, because they can do nothing but to divide up the crumbs that fall from the tables of the rich.
    The crisis of democracy is that we are no longer fooled by your illusion of democracy and demand the real thing.

    Simple answer: People are getting stupider. Stupider people are more willing to give stupider leaders more power. Stupider leaders lead to destroying programs that were set in place to keep us from being stupid because they don’t understand them (because they’re stupid). Overall, logic and reason has completely been pushed to the back.

    Is it just me or does no one understand that the USA is a Democratic Republic, Not a Democracy?

    • @user-xl7fl

      June 22, 2026 at 12:41 am

      Is it me or do too many people like you not understand whats ever being said so you just blurt out stupid things like this? 🤦

    • @SprakyChronicles

      June 22, 2026 at 7:51 am

      @user-xl7fl Ha…Is it me or do people like you would rather make someone feel dumb rather than help educate on a deeper level because your ego is too big?

    • @user-xl7fl

      June 22, 2026 at 8:41 am

      ​@SprakyChronicles looks like I was correct about you 🤣

    • @SprakyChronicles

      June 22, 2026 at 1:12 pm

      @user-xl7fl Or perhaps your own ego blinds you from seeing the truth. 🤷🏻‍♂️

      Good luck out there. ✌️

    • @user-xl7fl

      June 22, 2026 at 1:59 pm

      ​@SprakyChronicles nope, i am definitely correct here.

    Word salad hiding what she is saying behind big words… this is a Ted talk she should be able to speak to the common man without hiding what she is saying unless it is to undermine the culture and subvert the stability of said culture behind pretty words

  18. @sewcat6486

    Without building thinkers the education system has made workers those who can not reason enough to think above the needs of now . And will allow others to think for them

    This lady is spot on. Our government is manipulating us. So many promises made so we vote for them and then those promises are never kept. We’ve been had.

    Basically the rich bending society to get richer

  28. @someperson7

    June 22, 2026 at 4:44 am

    Listens to opening question: Oh that’s easy. It’s because people who don’t really believe in democracy somehow keep ending up in charge of it and yet keep choosing to cram it down the throats of people who don’t actually want it.

    Okay, go ahead

  29. @bnsmark6794

  32. @derpdankstrom

    it’s even harsher in US cause they only have 2 options. those 2 are bartering against each other to offer less service to the ppl while the chosen elite family get rich of lobbying

  33. @kaseywahl

    June 22, 2026 at 7:34 am

    I’m not familiar with her or her work, so I’ll admit that this it’s probably not a fair assessment, but “democracy entrepreneur” is the most venom-laced professional title I’ve ever seen.

    She in the end: ✋️😐🤚 we can use this interdependence to promote opression or liberation, it is up to us to choose!

    Being liberal and shoving progresive agenda on peoples throat while censoring and spying over what they say and what they think.

  40. @ParkityParkPark

    June 22, 2026 at 7:23 pm

    Anybody who says they have a simple solution to a complex socioeconomic or geopolitical issue is either incredibly ignorant of the issue or lying to you, and if they’re in a position where they have the power to do something about the issue, that ignorance is inexcusable and frankly unlikely to be the explanation

  41. @kapcom6637

    interesting to see people applaud this as the UK falls and NYC has blocked streets performing a religious takeover.
