When I was in high school the football coach had to teach my political science class. He said his vote was more valuable than others because he studied the issues. The thing that I took away from this is that football coaches should not teach political science and political science teachers should not coach football. In a democracy the average, or uneducated voter in this situation, should be able to choose who represents them. A more educated person does not have any more of a right to this than anybody else.

Когда США постоянно на кого-то нападают, прикрываясь вымышленными поводами, никого ничего не смущает, а когда Россия защищает свои границы, все сразу раскудахтались. Америанцы и англичане боятся Россию, поэтому они строят оборонительные рубежи, например Германию восстанавливали только ради этого. Теперь Германия не хочет быть оборонительным рубежом, теперь оборонительный рубеж это Финляндия, Украина, прибалтика... Кстати вариант страха вполне реалистичен.

When you hear that nuclear submarine is the most difficult construction in the world, remember that Russia also has them and still builds them. So, my point is, Russia has a smart people. And those smart people don't disagree with Russian politics, otherwise they wouldn't built all those icebreakers, submarines, nuclear stations, they would just move to other countries and live there.

I workerd really hard to make an opinion, listening to talk shows, news, and Italian intellectuals of all sides, of all parties, and vote for what I thought might be the best for my country. And then, one day comming home from school, an old lady on my bus was chit-chatting with another lady. At some point, she said, "I'll vote for Berlusconi because he's an handsome man". I was utterly disappointed and angry. And still I am.

Yeah, I was taught that when I was a very young man. 'The only thing a good man need do to ensure the success of evil men is nothing at all.' If you're not speaking out, you're assisting bad people succeed. I argue politics with people often. My wife asks me why I do it. She wanted to know if I expected to change the persons mind. I told her no; I didn't. What I expected to do was show anyone else who was around, listening or reading the debate, that the view of the person I was arguing with didn't exist in a vacuum. That the points discussed weren't a universal truth, widely accepted. To show a resistance to whatever the person I was arguing with was selling, whether it was about social responsibility, criminal justice, government policy, military activity, or moral relativism.

World citizens scrolling past , or switching the channel when they see the destruction of human beings right in front of our faces speaks volumes as to the problems . In our complacency we are co-creating and supporting individuals and governments to make life and death decisions that impact our fellow human beings . When enough people heal their fear we will stand united together and stop the travesties that are happening …United we can stop the wars.

Thank you for your channel. I'm from the UK and I love how you show that Russian people are not all that bad and like that man said these things only happen because good people are being silent because they think there is no point of speaking up. But the more you talk and communicate with your fellow Russians the more they will wake up and realise. All the governments of earth don't have a clue about the struggles and reality in life, they are so disconnected with their rich lives.

I'm referring to some narcissistic and shitty royal family who uses their subservient tabloids as their flying monkeys to harass, gaslight and smear and the brits are overjoyed of that fact. No different from North Korean propaganda of their "dear leader". So as we can observe most people without critical thinking are easily manipulated by even the shittiest medias not only in Russia. If we look historically the issue with propaganda was no different in Nazi Germany where people were led to believe their leader knows the best and is not doing anything wrong. Clearly we don't learn from our mistakes since we're repeating the history over and over.

Best ever interview by you guys. I can see why this time just one person was sufficient, as he had the most powerful message.

Russian people find always a way to leave me speachless. Thanks so much to this brave man. I can only imagine the risks he is taking to talk the way he talks.

His initial silence spoke a lot. He thought, how to say it, without going to jail for 20 years. I love the guy.

Very brave man and a thinking man his comments are very correct and should be taken on board by politicians and the people all around the world stay safe

Aleksei is a very thoughtful man. Democracy does have some negatives. That is why the founding fathers of the U.S. created the electoral college. First to partially even out power between small and large states and secondly to allow a potential safety mechanism against mass idiocy. The problem with excluding the drunkard is that the elite will hold all the power and though they may be well educated they are still often corrupt and they most often vote in favor of their own interests but when there is a war they want the uneducated drunkard to fight it. Power needs many checks and balances.

Even religion can be corrupted because religion on earth is managed by men, and no matter how well intentioned men can be, the desire for increase and maintain their power is almost always too much for them to ignore. As far as democracy goes, the idea is sound, but our founding father could never foresee or take into consideration the money that is behind the special interest groups and the major corporations that are the real powers of a “democracy”. These are the groups that will always run our governments, and it does not matter who wins from which party. You cannot get the backing from any party without making certain concessions or agreements with these special interest groups and corporations in order to get the money you need to run your campaign. Even an independent candidate needs a large amount of money to run a political campaign for airtime, campaign ads, etc., which he cannot get without getting significant corporate backing. We just keep voting to keep these special interest groups and corporations in position to help themselves.

@@fadiaz1969 Yep, organized religion is just another power structure and can be equally self interest motivated. I agree that special interest groups and corporations are a huge part of the current power structure. It looks like we are going to end up with two major presidential candidates in 2024 though 2/3rds of the population say they don't want either of them. That should be a huge rallying cry for an independent candidate but the likelihood of that candidate winning are still small because too many people are part of the ingrained structure and afraid upsetting the apple cart. And even if an independent candidate did win they would be road blocked every step when trying to make change. Perhaps things just need to get really bad before there is real change.

The far right also attracts the lower intelligence portion of the population (you should fact-check this, it's interesting). This is why the US government has become so ridiculous since they started electing far right ideologists. They don't have the mental capacity to govern, all they have is hate and outrage, which helps keep the extremist ball rolling. These are simple minded, dangerous people, and allowing them to form your goverment should be a blindingly obvious mistake. And yet the non-extreme people say nothing and hope for the best. Good luck with that - evil always beats apathy.

Wow, every now and then you get a good well thought out answer that sounds rational.

Totally agree (almost)... Pure democracy often results in mob rule. In the U.S. we have many Democrats pushing for just that.. mob rule. In 1787, Americans gathered on the steps of Independence Hall to await the news of the government our founders had crafted. They asked Benjamin Franklin, ‘What do we have, a republic or a monarchy?’ Franklin replied, ‘A republic, if you can keep it.’ Not a democracy.. a republic! OTOH, it's a slippery slope to decide who can, and who cannot cast a vote...

I think your main problem is the two party system. For someone from outside the U.S. it seems like a nightmare because all extreme movements split up on these two parties, which leaves room for extremists to actually influence government politics - more than in countries where there are several parties and political extremists may push the public debate in a certain direction, but not the government actions (except the extremist party win the election). Think there should a reform of base democracy - somewhere between the US system and the systems aboard). Future will be „interesting“

Democracy need an equal frame to work, the problem in the USA is the unlimited funding that allow rich lobbies to push their candidates in order to fullfill their own agenda. Real democracies apply a fund cap for parties and candidates, a project and a vision vs. another project and vision. In USA is the one with the biggest budget that can speak louder in the media buying space, that's why you cant'have universal care that needs a more equitable tax system : the richs prefer to spend their money to fund candidates that will cut their tax.
