I googled it, it's mostly t-shirts with feminist slogans and stuff worn by clinically obese chicks because "all sizes are beautiful".

Which leaks exactly "put US citizens at risk"? Which part? No offense but it sounds to me like you're just using a bunch of buzzwords, because most of the documents were about the wars and US military and diplomatic dispatches. How exactly would exposing war crimes endanger US citizens?

Many people are concerned about jobs. Well, taking care of the environment creates jobs! It's really not that hard to get, and as much as I understand that people dislike having to pay more taxes, in this case it's really worth it.

Secondly, education. You say "get off your high horse, there are lots of options" and yes there are but in fact many employers judge you by how prestigious your alma mater is. In the US, the most prestigious schools are obviously the most expensive ones. In my country, the most prestigious schools are the ones with the toughest entry exams. In fact, private schools are looked down upon here, because only spoiled rich kids who weren't smart enough to pass these entry exams would go there.
And thirdly, the environment. I think this one is the best example, because while healthcare and education can somewhat generate money, the environment simply doesn't, yet the oxygen we breathe and the water we drink are the most important aspects of our lives. We _literally_ couldn't live without the environment. But it's getting destroyed to make space for… whatever makes money, really. This is where I think it's important to have some government control.

I was in a hurry and didn't fully finish my thoughts on the matter (also made a few typos but who cares, I don't like editing my comments out of the blue because then people may think I changed my argument to appear smarter), so thank you for expanding on them. Yes, crony capitalism and what could be called legalized bribery in the US is a big problem. Corruption is what makes this stuff possible. However I still think that there are some things that should be left to a more socialist model. The problem with free market healthcare, even if the insurance companies weren't so crappy, is the unpredictability of health. Everyone will naturally buy the cheapest alternative possible, however they might get sick or injured beyond ther insurance plan. Is it caused by their irresponsibility? Yes, but it's just how humans are, especially if they barely have enough money to put food on the table.

Neither of the systems is perfect on its own. Capitalism is great for progress in commercial fields, but a capitalism healthcare system is a fucking disaster. The original thought for capitalism was to make the system as meritocratic as possible, but as we can see on the US that ia long gone. A dumb rich kid who never worked a day in his life and inherited all the money from his parents has a bigger chance at success than a poor genius, simly because university education is so expensive. Similarly, a person can go bankrupt at any point in their life because they get sick and his insurance company screws them over. Because of capitalism, the aim of insurance companies isn't to take care of people but to make money, which they do by screwing people over. A woman was refused insurance money because she had acne which they said was a preexisting condition. The environment is vital for our survival, but it gets destroyed because it doesn't generate profit.

So I was close! Good to know. Maybe I was too close, seeing as I got downvoted. Maybe someone got offended at the fact that summer hit music videos are so same-y I can easily tell what one is like without ever seeing it.

I haven't even seen the music video nor do I know what the singer looks like but from my knowledge of summer hit douchebags I'm guessing the guy is a tanned dude with dark hair, a stubble, with the sides of his head trimmed or shaved but slightly longer hair on top, possibly with arm, neck or chest tattoos and maybe wearing sunglasses in the video. And he'd probably be wearing either a tank top or a shirt with rolled up sleeves and the top three or four buttons open. The video is either shot in a club, on a street or near a body of water (such as next to a pool, on a yacht or on a beach).
How close was I?

Oooooooh wait a second is that Mark Dice, the conspiracy theory nutjob? I didn't recognize him at first and I thought you were referring to the man who was interviewed, not the interviewer. I get it now.

What do you mean? Apart from the obvious fact that they chose the biggest dumbasses they could possibly find and who obviously do not represent the average American, what's not credible about it? Do you think the people who were asked were dishonest or even actors? If you're talking about the man at 0:50 specifically, he does sound weird but I just assumed he was just drunk, high, or both.

When on Earth did I insult you? By saying I question something? Questioning is one of the lightest forms of criticism, if it even counts as criticism. Furthermore, don't accuse me of not being able to tell the difference when it's you who got extremely defensive over a simple questioning.
See, if you're such a sarcastic asshole, you should be able to deal with other sarcastic assholes, such as myself. You can't claim to be a sarcastic asshole and then get offended and whiny when you meet another sarcastic asshole with a different opinion. That's not how it works. Either you can defend your opinions or you cannot. You can't just throw something out there and get offended when people react to it. That's just their right to free speech. Just like your right to free speech would be to defend it. Next time please without the obvious strawmanning.

No need to get so defensive. Sorry but it just struck me as weird instead of finding it funny. Humor is entirely subjective and I just expressed my _subjective_ opinion over this post. I never claimed to be the "grand master" of anything, nor did I ever say that anyone should change themselves in order to fit my sense of humor. I just said what I think about this post. Or am I not allowed to say what I think, just because it might hurt someone's "pwecious widdle feewings"? If criticism offends you so much that you have to respond with a temper tantrum, you might want to turn off your internet connection.

As a Central European I got most of them right. I thought Texas is bigger than Alaska (for some reason if you look up a map of the US, Alaska looks twice as small as Texas, but a world map shows it in correct proportions). I didn't realize the video was made during the Obama-Biden term so I said Pence. And I probably wouldn't get the map right. Hell, I'd probably struggle if I was asked to name all the 50 states. But I'm 100% sure I would get the map of Europe right.

"In my country" so in Germany? One could argue that it was true between the world wars as Germany was experiencing hyperinflation, poverty and starvation due to the harsh conditions of the Versailles treaty, but Karl Marx died in 1883, so he had no chance of ever experiencing this. And yes, I know it's supposed to be a joke. But a good joke is clever and makes you laugh, this just made me think "Wait, that's not even close." and subsequently question OP's education and intelligence.
