Fear of the unknown is instinct. So is curiosity ( an urge to understand/ learn the unknown). Empathy should tip the balance in favor of understanding of others.
So, i guess I’m saying there can be competing instincts. It’s a matter of which is nurtured in children or cultivated in oneself more than the other.
What I found absurd about this conversation was there was no acknowledgement that racism is in our DNA just like any instinct, like the instinct to improve our status. Humans are tribal by nature. We form groups. We are loyal to our own group and we are suspicious or hostile toward other groups. It comes from evolving to survive in a primitive society. And the easiest way to differentiate our group is by appearance. This is why Trump is such a compelling figure to the element of our society that have a primitive mind set. He appealed to our base instinct of tribalism.
And like all personality traits, it manifests to different degrees in different people. Some people are inherently more tribal and some are less (presumably Cenk is not very tribal.)
Why does it always take so long to upload old school. They should at least not delete the Livestream until they upload it here if they are going to take this long
Hey Malcolm,
Where did you get your T-shirt?!?!?!?! I want one too!
Thanks,
Susan
Susan, I’m so sorry, but I have the only one. I’m sure shoptyt.com would be glad to carry them if not for the multiple copyright violations that would involve. On the bright side, you get to live in Sedona, so you’ve got that going for you!
Bart, you didn’t let me down….I am screaming at the tube: OFF THE WALL is the best M.J. album period!!! Every song is perfection. Rock with you, is an anthem to love and sex, (and it forces mental gymnastics to block the image of the sweet voiced “accused” pedophile)….Jesus, sorry, I had to go there:-(
PLEASE leave the live stream up until you get around to uploading the new Old School episode so us *paying* members can watch it and not have to wait at least 24 hours+ for it to be uploaded. Thanks.
Yes!! I was hoping to watch the old school episode now but it is still not uploaded!
youd think 20 million would buy them on time updates of their content, especially for members… jeez. I’m annoyed with this in some way once a week
What a boring bunch of comments. I expected more discussion about JFK- lol nothing
Bart has it right, ‘Off The Wall’ is a great album. He whiffed on ‘Rock With You’ though. That has to be number one for me.
Has anybody seen the interview that Alex Jones ex-wife did on the David Parkman show? She talk about how Sinclair Broadcasting is/was involved with his show.
In the movie JFK there is a scene where Kevin Costner is reading the Warren Commission report and he says “Ask the question, ask the question!” I kept saying that to myself during the conversation about conspiracies, and thinking of 9/11.
I have commented this way before: I completely understand that if TYT, or Secular Talk, starts to go down the rabbit hole of 9/11 they immediately will be in the Alex Jones camp – Tin Foil Hat conspirators with absolutely no credibility. The mainstream world is not ready for it. You can go there on JFK, but 9/11 is just…not possible, like questioning the Iraq War in 2003. I will give Kyle Kulinski a lot of credit in saying publicly on his show there are certainly questions about the official story. That’s a start.
But there is no denying that for a generation now 9/11 has been the excuse for everything – the Iraq War, the ridiculous War on Terrorism (“You can’t win a War on Terrorism” David Cross once said “At no point will you say ‘Whew! Got ’em all, everyone loves us again!”) the NSA spying, all of it. So to say deep state forces conspired to kill JFK with no regard for the well being of America in the 60s? And then ignore that human beings and the TPTB are somehow incapable of doing the same now, because of “bureaucracy?” Hmm…really?
I say it over and over: WTC7. There is NO FUCKING WAY any – ANY – free thinking person could believe that a 50 story building collapsed from some fires on two floors. At free fall speed. Yet that’s the official government position. You just have to start there.
I long for the day when this can be discussed rationally.
The day when it can be discussed rationally is the day when people like you stop trying to join discussions about it. WTC7 suffered structural damage from pieces of the towers falling on it and had fires on at least 10 floors, not just 2, but facts have never been convenient to conspiracists.
You may not love Maddow’s reporting (I don’t hate it or love it) but I still think she is/was important to female anchors so yeah it is really awesome that Keith went to bat for her like that. Just my two cents…
This Post Game was awesome, great combo and topics guys. Also – Fantastic intro music!
I’m so out of it that I’ve never heard of dragged. Now I hate it too though. I do still hear people “throw shade.” And “teh” was initially a mistype that got repeated. Same with “bae” instead of “babe.” I think teens need a language to talk amongst themselves and once their parents start using it it falls out of favor. Which of course happens quickly because of the internet.
I was shocked the Michael Jackson conversation had no mention of Smooth Criminal!
Yea, not sure how they missed it.
Really enjoyed this Old School. Funny and interesting. Great dynamic between Cenk and Malcolm!
love old school. love malcolm. do not love the new intro. bring back that ridiculous ska jam! #keepoldschoololdschool
The button “Download Video” doesn’t work? At least not in my Firefox browser.
The other button “Download Low-Res Video” does work, but is not a great way to watch it on my TV screen.
I’m having the same problem in Chrome. I emailed them last night, but so far I haven’t heard back.
Try this:
Right-click the link that says ‘Download Video’ and choose “Save link as…”
File name says: 180404_OS.mp4, which I assume is the video for the show.
That worked! Thanks so much!
The US Government has a tradition of lying us into war. The Mexican War was started on very sketchy evidence. The USS Maine probably exploded by accident, yet we claimed Spain did it. Gulf of Tonkin and Iraq War are just the most recent examples.
That worked! Thanks so much!
Oops! I accidentally pushed the wrong reply link. Sorry.
Thom Hartmann left RT quite a while ago.
Two JFK books that I found interesting –
Dr Mary’s Monkey by Edward Haslam
Me & Lee by Judyth Vary Baker
He’s not funded by Sputnik media anymore either. I know his radio show used to announce that every hour, but not anymore. I think Thom saw the winds changing and got out of Russian funding before it got bad. He’s always been critical of Putin though.
Dammit just canNOT ditch that ‘fleshlight’ name for Malcolm. Damn it Jim! It came and got him on Old School. So it’s time for Cenk to come on the Friday Post Game and play WWN and TTOTB on behalf of a Proud Nineteener. And call him ‘Cenks’ when he gets there.
I can’t blame Cenk, Malcolm or anyone for not getting how systemic and gross racism and segregation are in US society. I do blame people who choose to be willfully ignorant of it, something all you guys at TYT are definitely not, you are always making the effort to do what is uncomfortable. More black people need to do the same, they need to stop lying to themselves and depending on that ‘magical negro’ to get them anywhere. Black, white and every other person needs to hold hands and go inside that former slave market in South Carolina. Then we need to hold hands again and BOYCOTT these businesses and institutions that are letting the Kochs and the Mercers have their Camp of the Saints way.
Kyle ‘The Crusher’ Kulinsky says corporate efforts to hide strikes like that Disney strike where 41,000 people stayed off the job is the only thing stopping a way more effective general strike. Correct! Just one day of a nationwide general strike with just half the workforces would get us Single Payer, a $15 minimum wage, free college AND a clawback of that tax cut for the rich in one fell swoop. ?
~Echoing oldturk in a thank you for the quick posting~
You have no idea, what Lord Vader has done… (J.E.J.:)
this is why i love you guys. You guys tell things as it is. continue to be honest guys, seriously! I used to give up on this country (and kinda do at times), but you guys remind me that there is hope. Also, some of you guys know what its like to be poor and its hard to find anyone who understands or reports on the true issues that count. You make millions of Americans realise they’re not alone and that is a great thing. Seriously, i cant thank you enough. Dont stop doing this.
Thanks for promptly posting!
I literally LOVE Malcolm. More Malcolm. Put him on every show. He’s the hidden treasure of TYT. Totally undervalued (Totally True).
Or in Old School terms — under rated.
