Yeah, he also apparently still has family here in the states, and I could definitely see how that could have an effect on him as well. Yeah, ever since I left high school I've had a hatred for the "average American" (the drones, the people that walk around constantly on their cell phones disregarding everyone and everything around them, the delusional deniers, the main streamers, etc.) and I'm pretty sure that's mostly who he's talking about, not every single American person. But yeah I agree, I don't hate America either, just a good chunk of it's inhabitants and governing folk. There's a great quote I saw on a wall some one had sprayed on it with spray paint that said "You can love your country without having to love your government."

Hmm...I didn't think about that. That does make sense. As for his "anti-american" rant the other day, I have been there before. Not that I hate america just that there are so many people that have it so good here and take everything for granted. And when those of us who hav set childish things aside bring up important issues we are marginalized and ridiculed. Over time this can wear on one's patience. Maybe Max was having a bad day the other day. Other than that he is amazing when it comes to the economics side of it.

Yeah it's just his jealousy I'm convinced. All the other Europeans on their site are the same way. They're all just angry they have to pay carbon taxes and the rest of the world doesn't, I'm convinced.

Marx was either a genious or someone is following his playbook. Thanks for the video, great stuff. I just can't get over Keiser's idea that we need a carbon tax. It gives me shivers.
