it's crazy how much America has been terrorizing the world since ww2 lmao good lord they just won't stop.

why were the Brits so fond of us
why did anyone believe that market was an actual entity that, that's just wishful thinking and that's putting it nicely

berlins theory on positive and negative freedom is depressing! what do you mean that after we free ourselves we're met with a new evil from within!

game theory just showed how paranoid and pesemistic a lot of the rich and powerful were.

even at that time, scared to death to lose their riches to communism you create an idea that people are inherently selfish and spiteful.

just some of the many dumb questions you ask yourself.

Adam Curtis does another fantastic job, there's even some yo la tengo guitar riffs in each episode. about 5 times an episode. the editing and presentation used in 2007 still feels older but it still manages to grab you. it's perfect if you struggle to keep your attention on something for too long.

why was Reagan on national television lying about the contras lmao

Adam Curtis is really good at this
