Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to Josephine Mathias (Contributor, National Post) about #leftists and the black community, the #culture on #college campuses, #intersectionality, and fake outcries.
Recorded on September 18, 2015 Hoover Institution fellow Thomas Sowell discusses #poverty around the world and in the United States. Poverty in #America, he says, compared to the rest of the world, is not severe. Many poor people in poverty in the United States have one or two cars, central heating, and cell phones. The real problem for the poor is the destruction of the family, which Sowell argues dramatically increased once #welfare#policies were introduced in the #1960s. He is correct and it was done on purpose, #marxism (and all the ideologies that stem from it) and #feminism mean to destroy the family unit.
On the occasion of the publication of a new edition of his book Intellectuals and Society, Thomas Sowell returns to Uncommon Knowledge for a wide-ranging interview.
Thomas Sowell discusses economic #inequality, racial inequality, and the myths that have continued to falsely describe the system of poverty among different racial and economic classes. He explains the economic theories behind these pervasive myths and proposes fact-based solutions for seemingly intractable situations.
Sowell discusses his early life as a high school dropout and his first full-time job as a Western Union messenger delivering telegrams. He admits to flirting with #Marxism in his early twenties as he first tried to grapple with the housing inequality he saw across the neighborhoods of New York City. Marxism, he says, was the only explanation he could find at the time. He went on to serve in the Marine Corps before continuing his #education in economics at Harvard and earning a master’s at Columbia and a PhD at the #University of Chicago.
Sowell’s first job after his receiving his PhD in #economics was working for the Department of Labor, and he says it was there that he realized Marxism was not the answer. He argues that the #government has its own institutional interests in inequality that cannot be explained through Marxism. He began to be discouraged by Marxism and the government in general and began searching for better economic #ideas and #solutions (the free market).
Robinson and Sowell discuss Sowell’s written works, his ideas of racial and economic inequality, the state of the United States today, and much more.
In this video we examine how public #schools and the #mainstream#media have contributed to the growth of a passive citizenry, thus paving the way for the rise of #tyranny. We then look at the role of so called anti-authoritarians (sjws, progressives, feminists, activists, media) play in a free and flourishing #society.
Get the government and leftwing activist ideologues OUT OF THE EDUCATION SYSTEM
By facing long-held assumptions, one woman reevaluates her own gender biases. Documentary Filmmaker, The Red Pill
Cassie Jaye founded Jaye Bird Productions in 2008, which has since produced a collection of documentary films that have been praised for being thought-provoking, entertaining and respectful in representing multiple competing views within each film. Jaye is known for tackling complex and often controversial subject matters. Her latest film is The Red Pill. Prior to “The Red Pill”, Jaye’s most notable films were the award winning feature documentaries “Daddy I Do” (which examined the Abstinence-Only Movement versus Comprehensive Sex Education) and “The Right to Love: An American Family” (which followed one family’s activism fighting for same-sex marriage rights in California). Both films showed that Jaye’s interview style is to allow people to share their views honestly, openly and candidly while allowing audiences to come to their own conclusions.
What motivates postmodernists? Why do they not see their own contradictions? How can they reconcile their epistemology with their socialist policy?
