A perspective outside America

From an expat I assume - but an interesting perspective.

Beau linked to this channel at least twice in the past

He linked to her channel at least twice on Israel topic - which I always saw as saying things she could say that he could not. And had a few live streams with her some time ago.

What is this channel?

Putting any historical context out of the discussion, and focusing solely on the content being created recently, how would you describe the channel?

Is it leftist? Is it anti-right? Anti-MAGA? News? Propaganda?

Is it further dividing people, or bringing them together?

What are its merits? Its shortcomings?

Beau's wiki and websites?

Does anyone know the about or have the URL for the websites associated with Beau? These are two I found:

https://thefifthcolumnnews.com/ https://beauofthefifth.com/lander

The first is where Beau used to write articles but the site is now apparently locked. The second may have been Beau's website but it is now empty. I remember there being a website that looked like it was made by Beau and had his info on it. It may have been the second site but I'm not sure.

There was also a Beau of the fifth column wiki that had a way for you to search Beau's videos and had AI generated videos transcripts but I can't find the site on Google now. Either the site was taken down or it's just difficult to find. I remember Beau or Belle mentioning a project they had planned but weren't supposed to talk about yet and I think it may have been that wiki.

Networking to survive the tariffs and help otjers

Is there a way that the members of the YT channel and people here can network to find jobs that will allow them to remain independent and continue helping others that need help? I admit I need both. We already help others, but won't be able to if Husband can't find the job he needs with 2masters degrees. I'm disabled to the point of home palliative care and can prove it all. Can we network here? Are we allowed to say what we need so we can continue to be the ones that help others? Sorry about the typo in the title. I see how to edit posts but not titles now. I'm learning. Thanks for any pointers you all send my way! Love y'all!

Can Trump's Mexico/Canada tariff threats be a bargaining chip for border security?

Since he's leaning on our closest neighbors the hardest, and seems to have backed off on the size of Chinese tariffs, is there any evidence this would be his way of pressuring our neighbors into caving on draconian border security measures he wants implemented by them? I mean... they make no sense, otherwise.

Is the Overton window broken?

I consider myself jokingly a “Centrist extremist” with the motto “GET IN THE MIDDLE OR DIE!” - it’s a flag with a funnel… (I need to make one - and a t-shirt)

Because a single nation can not proceed in two directions at once. When the common ground is gone the inevitable outcome is conflict and possibly civil conflict.

But anyway - is the window busted?

Can't find Video

Anyone remember the video Beau did (I think earlier this year) where he talked about how to affect change in our congresspeople by threatening to actively support their primary opponents if they don't tow the line? I was looking for that video to send to a friend with the hope of getting some of these corporate Dems in line.

Also, if anyone has the links to the videos Beau did where he discussed how to fact-check disinformation, those would be appreciated too.

help finding a video

Does anyone know what was the title of the video made by Beau where he talks about the lie Trump said that there were no troops lost and no conflicts during his term?

Don't give up on the climate just yet.

I'm going to post two comments below about the climate, because I think it is in error to give up and that the statements that Belle has made about the climate over the past few weeks have been 1) irresponsible and 2) uncharacteristic of her general post-election resistance call. I made these comments but I'm reproducing them here because I want to start a discussion.

Legend:

1.5°C: Prosperity is possible

2.0°C: Permanent worldwide industrial poverty. Reversible to 1.5°C via stratospheric aerosol injection, beyond this it may do more harm than good.

3.0°C: No more industrial civilization

4.5°C: Human extinction beyond this point

7.5°C: Worse than the KT extinction event. More than 80% of species go extinct.

In context, we were headed for 2.7°C today. In 2019, prior to COVID when we were following RCP 8.5, we were headed to about 8°C of warming. So we have made an incredible improvement in a fairly short period of time. Now is not the time to give up.

Pardon the terseness, I was very heated when I was writing these comments

"This one's for you Belle. You've been doing a pitiful job on this. Climate change is the only issue that matters. It is the issue that determines whether its worth it to live, and whether it's worth it to defend democracy (cuz what's the point of a democracy that is impossible to enjoy). Your history as a nurse shows that the way to deal with triage is to maintain calm. Your messaging on the climate, that it is doomed, will never do that. It can only aggravate. I have a whole laundry list of solutions. I have the answers. Tell people that there are people working on the issue. Give them a number to call if they have a good idea. Ideas are no good if they stay bottled up in people's heads.

You're never going to be able to resist Trump until you can convince people that what's going to come after is better. Despair, after all, is what got him into office in the first place."

And

"ORDER!! ORDER!! (If you get it, you get it).

I have no idea how any of you are going to resist Trump with this attitude. I've said it before. We cannot give this up. If we give this up, we will lose all our morale. If you want to give up, just don't ruin it for the rest of us.

His instability is going to crash the economy, which is going to be good for the climate in the short term. It's going to be painful but there's not a lot immediately to worry about.

There are two big priorities. Thwaites Glacier, which needs to be babysat now, and the amazon rainforest (Joe Biden, thank you for going there). The rainforest may be on the edge of collapse and needs babysitting in the form of cloud seeding programs to supply rain to the forest, just to keep it from tipping over the edge.

Since the US isn't going to be onboard (we would have had to be calling our semators anyway), we're going to have to rely on philanthropists and European governments to work on these schemes. Now is the best time to call these organizations and convince them that geoengineering is, and always would be, necessary in these two areas. Make them listen, because they're all we have now."

Upset with the performance of a political party? DUMP THEM!

Sick of writing letters to a rectangular file in Congress that go unseen just like your emails? Sick of a party that refuses to represent you? Or for some reason adopted the policies of those you opposed most of your life - promising to serve them - instead of you…

DUMP THEM!

Change your voter registration. They always considered you a number anyway - deduct your number from their roles until they pay attention. They like compliant numbers - don’t be one. Register as independent. No need to join a different party - just send a message to that party who ignored you - by dumping your registration with them.

You can do this as many times as you want (within deadlines before elections). Tell your friends to do the same - anyone else too.

To the political parties you are a number to be counted - with a viewpoint and a name and address that they DO NOT CARE ABOUT - until you are no longer a number…

Make them work to get you back… Or if inclined join a different party- or stay INDEPENDENT… Because let’s face it - none of the parties represent you…

There is also another social benefit to this as well. As an INDEPENDENT- you are no longer villainized by family or friends who are of a different political party affiliation. You’re now someone who has to be courted… And you no longer have to defend the actions of a party that never represented you anyway.

This thanksgiving dinner if politics comes up - say it proudly - I’M AN INDEPENDENT! Recommend they too liberate themselves from party affiliation. Because they were never going to join the opposition - but they might join you as an independent non-party affiliated voter.

Send this to the Republican or Democrat afflicted with the disease of partisanship you care about.

Observation

There is a district correlation between those who believe that the ruler of heaven will save them from (insert calamity here); and those who believe the guy who bankrupted three casinos is going to save the economic situation for Americans.

No one is coming, it's up to us.

Recommendations for MAGAts?

I've been a Beau/Belle fan for at least a couple years now. They do a great job of articulating many of the things I think, as well as showing things from angles I hadn't thought of.

I have two particular friends who are maga-ish. Both are in their 50's (as am I), and both have military backgrounds (one was enlisted for 20+ years and the other is an army reserve officer). Whenever we get to talking, I can never seem to articulate what I want to convey. So I'm wondering if anyone has any good recommendations for videos I can put into a playlist that might, if not change their viewpoints, at least perhaps make them start to ask questions of their viewpoints.

If I can get a good list of videos, I'll put them into a playlist and be happy to share it with anyone else who would like the same kind of "best of" type list of videos.... unless there's already one out there you can recommend.

Thanks much!

Military Coup Possible

A regime is only in power as long as they have the military on their side. If Trump demands the military to turn on the American citizens that military may no longer be on the side of the regime. I would think the military will have a duty to right the ship if they get orders that defy their duty and oath to the Constitution. If this scenario was to play out where a military Coup happens what would it look like here?

How are y'all so stupid?

I was under the impression that Beau was a leftist, but there are a lot of posts here decrying the ignorance of the American voter and dismissing the incompetence of the Democratic party
