"Maggie in Africa" is the single worst episode of television ever created.

An amazing scene. It reminds me a lot of DRUMPF.

He had me up until he started talking about how America used to be great. When was America ever great? After the revolutionary war when we were committing genocide against the natives and utilizing African Americans as slaves? After WW2 when we, along with the Soviets pushed the human race to the brink of Armageddon?

No nation is ever "great". This is the biggest lie we've ever told ourselves as a society. Nations are nothing more than a collection of people and there are no great or small people- just people. People can do great things yes, but they can also do evil things. As nations we tend to do too much of the latter.
And why are Americans so obsessed with being the "greatest"? Why are other nations? It's not a fucking competition. This is life, this is humanity. We should be trying to be the best that we can and if we are, then it doesn't if we're the "greatest" or not. Let's drop the jingoist bullshit and start acting not like Americans or Chinese or Russians but like human beings.

Many Americans know this too, esp in the last 15 years as we've watched so many things go wrong that it is becoming hard to ignore. Endless wars of choice, ballooning deficits, the failure of our health care system (high prices, inhuman and terrible coverage), the illusion of democracy shredded (the plutocratic nature of our government is much more transparent now), blatant election fraud, etc.

Every time Obama (who I voted for) gives a speech about this being the greatest country in the world I want to puke. He doesn't respect us enough to be honest with us. If a president said 'we have serious problems we need to work on' that would be great. But we never get that. We get baseless platitudes which assume we are too stupid to understand what is going on in the world while the real problems in this country go unsolved year after year.

I really like this scene. The Newsroom was a great show with a cracking pilot

>>81716089

>i took one political science class and want to teach history because i have no discernible skills

>>81716221
it literally appeals most to left wing feminist and minority harry potter cocksucking college kids

>>81716141
source?

>>81716283
He literally says how liberals are fucking stupid and lose all the time because they are out of touch.

And he tells a group of college students its partly their fault and they are the worst generation.

>we were great because we were informed, by great men

this is total masturbatory nonsense. the press have always been liars.

LISTEN TO THE UNBIASED FACT-CHECKERS, GOYIM

>implying the US is #1 at almost everything
lmao
barely anything more like

>>81716367
>liberals lose

but they weren't losing really, not until 2016. they had victories on almost every front in the culture wars, no matter who was president. the only thing they didn't manage to win on was gun control.

trump is the first significant loss they've suffered in a very long time.

thats some real good masturbatory baby boomer delusion right there

So basically what he's saying is America was the greatest during the 1950s.

>"reasonable republican" character who doesn't challenge the liberal worldview at all

Fuck off. This is a politics thread. It's always a politics thread. It never has anything to do with a tv show.

>comparing american stats to europe without accounting for the US population being 13% niggers
>euro countries with no 1st or 2nd amendments are "free"

Basically this.
They had the best, more affordable healthcare system in the world.

>>81716669
thank you

is nobody else going to talk about what complete bullshit this monologue is? It's riddled with raw lies and misrepresentations. Notice he forgot to mention that the US is number one in the following:

1st for Economy > GDP > Purchasing power parity
1st for Industry > Gross value added by construction
1st for Media > Television receivers > Per capita
1st for Agriculture > Arable land > Hectares
1st for Crime > Violent crime > Gun crime > Guns per 100 residents
1st for Crime > Violent crime > Rapes
1st for Industry > Manufacturing output
1st for Crime > Prisoners
1st for Energy > Oil > Consumption
1st for Crime > Total crimes

Also, notice he didn't confirm what was the best country. Of course not, what? would he name China? Germany? Japan? Not in one chance. Pure propaganda pitterpatter.
