They Don't Call It "American Exceptionalism" for Nothing.
As if thousands of frenchies aren't willing to riot on cue. Whatever.

Yes, but I bet those thousands of Frenchies know that Iran isn't in Australia. ;)
The fact of the matter is that there are millions of americans who are EXACTLY like the people in that little clip. There are also millions who could have answered every one of those questions correctly - but - personally, I see way too many people like the ones in this clip every day and it sickens me. America deserves to be made fun of - with the level of ignorance, xenophobia and hatred in this country, it deserves a full time cable channel devoted to nothing but 'stupid americans of the day'. But - that's just how I see it.

Isn't the point that all of the world is a plane. Just as rats learn to run a maze, we all, regardless of location, learn to run through our lives. What is the purpose of the maze? To bash the stupid rats that can't find their way through? There are numerous sources today which talk about the maze. I have been under the impression that this forum is above the rat bashing and looking to get a glimpse of the maze master. Maybe that's not possible. However, what good could come from bashing the U.S. endlessly as if it's the master of reality?
It's not rat bashing. It's pointing out the utter ignorance of the American populace. Many people who haven't realized that fact need to see videos just like this to drive the point home of why we are in the predicament we are in i.e. a dumb and controlled population.
I don't know why this touched a nerve so strongly within you. It looks like you have some sacred cows about "being nice".

Well, I think humor played a role and it probably wouldn't be so humorous if these types of people weren't so sure of themselves and so self-righteous. Of course the intelligent people were edited out - of course the commentator targeted the idiots, and of course he could have done exactly the same thing in Australia, France, Italy, Germany, Brazil or any other country on the planet. However, no other country on the planet is currently as hated as America is - and no other country on the planet is systematically going about the destruction and enslavement of the world's population. America's government and those who praise it so mindlessly may not be pulling the strings, but they sure as hell are enjoying the role they're playing.
Why do you think this gets to you so much? You seem like an intelligent person, so I can't imagine that you identify with the people in the film, but it does seem that you identify with being an American to the extent that it bruises you a tiny bit to be made fun of so. Unfortunately, as Americans, we are linked directly to every atrocity committed by our government, just like the German citizens in Nazi Germany - there is no difference, so while I have no problem pointing out and even finding some much needed humor in America's faults, you seem to be annoyed by it. I think what Henry said in the most recent podcast applies here - to paraphrase, "Make no mistake, America is the bad guy - America is the aggressor".
And we are - and each of us is responsible for that on some level - yes there are masters higher up, but we don't see them, we don't interact with them - we don't elect them or fail to take to the streets when they are placed in power against our will. Make no mistake - the ignorance and hatred we see in that little video is exactly what has allowed America to become the personification of evil that it is today.
So - what's the real reason it bothers you so much - certainly you know this by now - is it because some part of you doesn't like to see America put down? Don't you realize that the American government has put down America more strongly and more deeply than a million 'making fun' videos ever could?
I don't really see the damage this article has done - of course, I gave up long ago on the idea that America was the beacon of the free world - it's not - it never was and ignorance is the fertile soil in which this monstrosity that we have before us today took root.
By the way, the title 'American Exceptionalism' came directly from Kurt Nimmo's site - so it wasn't a 'SotT title' - but it fits.

Whats with the rat analogy?
And I agree with anart, "ignorance is the fertile soil in which this monstrosity that we have before us today took root."
It seems to me like knowledge protects other people as well, if "94%" of the population knew what was really happening, the world would not be the same.

The purpose of these types of presentations is not to make fun of the 'stupid rats', but to increase knowledge in those who have the capacity to see and do. America, as it is today, is the center of a vortex of evil and that is why it is targeted. With the spread of knowledge this vortex's reach will diminish. I see no reason why, with abundent natural resources and a well-informed populace, the US could not live up to its claim of being the greatest nation on earth (which is definitely not the case now).

What bothers me is ...it's propaganda. Spin., etc. It's the same thing as the enemy does to make their point. I don't really care that I'm an american. Frankly, I don't see any other place that's a whole lot better off. You can't fight brainwashing with the same. That's what I don't like. If you don't see it as such, I respect that. I'm not angry, just suprised.

Ok, what is america to do? I see my parents every sunday for dinner. My dad is 72 and my mom is 69. America, like all civilazations is divided into different age groups.Retired folks really don't care much about this stuff. They are worried about surviving and beating their ills. Young folks don't care much either. So, if you dissect the population, between 25 and 45 for simple mewasure, then look at the actual number of those people that are willing to get up aff their duffs for whatever reason, you have a small number of folks. Even if 3 million people marched on capital hill, would you know it? No, the media would say about 5,000 people and show a couple of photos and that would be it. Even when the 1 million man march supposedly occured a few years back, nobody cared at all. So what is supposed to be done? Even if a strong number of relevant american bodies care, short of engaging in crazed violence, it''s not even going to make much news. Probably less that than the VA tech shooting. So, how are 300 million americans comprised of different age groups supposed to make a difference? !% is 3 million. Would you even know about it? Maybe it already happened....
To see the results of what you call the 'maze master' is to see the 'maze master' itself. By their fruits you shall know them...crazy croc said:
Calling into the open the stupidity and ignorance of grown adults shows what happens when psychopaths control society. Those idiots (leaders and followers both) create a blind stampede (for all intents and purposes) that lets the psychos do whatever they want to do, systematically - like murdering Iraqis and Palestinians, letting millions in other countries starve and die of disease and wars, trashing the global environment, robbing people everywhere of all their resources and energy (including money, food, fuel, labor, brain power, etc), and pushing off pseudo-education systems that mostly serve to breed more flaming, raving idiots to continue the cycle. The lunatics have taken over the asylum and nobody in the asylum seems to give a damn either.
Hey I'm an American (and ashamed to admit it these days) and I found the video slightly funny (emergency room sort of humor) but mostly a shocking reminder that no, I can't trust anyone in the USA (save for a very few), and therefore there really is no purpose in tossing pearls before swine. They'll wake up, stop oinking and wallering in their own sh*t and maybe start thinking when they're damn good and ready and not one minute sooner, probably right before they take their last dying breath due to one form of genocide or another - if ever. I wish it weren't that way, but that's how it looks right about now.
Meanwhile there are some butterfly wings still flapping, and that could start a hurricane... metaphorically speaking.

No, they won't stop flapping their butterfly wings. America has it's roots in christianity. Don't think there isn't a battle going on. Even A.J. and others DIRECTLY attack this forum although not by name, if you listen. They think that associating "aliens" into the material makes it a "fundie" to distract from the real issues. Well, does it? The Christian "heaven and hell" game is very powerful rhoughout the entire world but especially in america. Americanm "thruthies" pursue 911 as if they are a "scoobie doo" gang. As if one day someone will be in handcuffs while saying, "if it wasn't for those meddling kids". Ya, right, and rosie can play velma.
No, what you saw was the result of propaganda, the dumbing down of a people.crazy croc said:
You're right. All of humanity is on the brink of destruction. It seems however, you're denying the role of American ignorance, which seems in direct proportion with the power of it's psychopathic leaders. So it seems your attention is off track. Your focusing on a problem of 'pointing out American ignorance as brainwashing' when a real pressing issue is American ignorance.crazy croc said:
I've noticed that if you try to show someone, who isn't truly asking, how they are being brainwashed by a manipulator, they will see you as the person doing the mind-job (and they will be right to a certain extent because you're denying their will). This seems to be an infection stemming from how a psychopath will accuse others of what he is responsible for - an infected person will see normal thinking as a 'mind-job.'crazy croc said:
I think this is in line with your response about how the video is 'propaganda' and 'brainwashing'. For some reason you see the pointing out of brainwashing as brainwashing. Facing how we all have different triggers that bring our programming to surface and what those things might be are all a part of asking. I don't know if you are interested in such things or not.
Perhaps a good place to start would be with questions of what you can do with yourself instead of a whole nation. A good step is to see the unseen - meaning to face our programming that we usually cannot see without the help of the group.crazy croc said:
