Bill Moyers Essay: When Bosses Push Their Politics

Lowen says...

>> ^Sagemind:

In the political jargon and propaganda of Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany and the Communist International, western democratic states were referred to as "plutocracies", with the implication being that a small number of extremely wealthy individuals were controlling the countries and holding them in ransom. "Plutocracy" replaced "democracy" and "capitalism" as the principal fascist term for the United States and Great Britain during the Second World War. For the Nazis, the term was often a code word for "the Jews".

Are you seriously suggesting that someone who thinks this video demonstrates plutocratic tendencies are themselves antisemitic, totalitarian and/or fascist?

I don't even know where to start with how wrong that is.

Well, why don't you watch the linked video and then if you still think it's wrong, say why on that videos discussion page.

There's no need to watch the video.
Chimpanzees are not monkeys. Humans are not monkeys.
Chimpanzees and Humans belong to the Hominidae family of the Primate order.
Monkeys belong to the Cercopithecidae family of the Primate order.
We definitely had a common ancestor, but that ancestor was not a monkey or a human.
You might as well claim that since we share a common ancestor with squid, we're squid.


If that's what you believe you should watch the video.

More importantly we shouldn't have this discussion here since it's not really relevant to THIS video anymore, so it should either be moved to our profiles or onto the comments page for the other video.

Contraception turns men... gay? Birth control fear mongering

The point the video made was: we share a common ancestor with all monkeys, therefor we are monkeys. It's the same as; we share a common ancestor with all animals/vertebrates/mammals, therefor we are animals, vertebrates and mammals. So if chimpanzees all share a common ancestor with monkeys, then they are monkeys, even if they also share a common ancestor with apes and are therefor also apes.

>> ^Fusionaut:

Having a common ancestor does not mean they are the same. We share a common ancestor with all mammals yet we are not horses or pigs or dolphins or lions or platypuses et cetera...>> ^Lowen:

Fact check -- chimpanzees are NOT monkeys.
