Great channel Imho.


Saw this and instead of disappearing in the random YT thread I felt it could deserve it's own thread just to see how you all feel about this video's content.

It's about a couple of facets and how they may cause for a decline in intelligence, health, etc.

If not, feel free to close it mods.

Sorry, as an American, I do not possess the attention span or intelligence to watch any videos longer than 35 seconds.

Can you give me the TikTok version?

aint nobody got time for that GIF


As a stupid American, I can only communicate in gifs.
 
I mean I guess the video's title as well as my thread title fucked up what I think is a interesting video regarding, indeed, western world issues. FML

Kensington Ave is basically the literal worst street in America. It's the lowest of the low, and not at all representative of the greater America. It's like saying all of England is like Jaywick (only worse). It's just a bad, over-reaching example that seems to be designed to show the worst of the worst.

I'm definitely gonna check the video out later, it's probably pretty interesting. I haven't watched it yet, but if it's highlighting the worst parts of America, it's just important to remember that's not what the whole country is like.

For example, my house is located in a nice suburb where I've never even once heard so much as a police siren. I've never had a package stolen from my porch, and I leave my doors unlocked most days.

Oh i definitely am aware of that. I really am. It's about social media, fast food etc and how all (society) changed in a relative short amount of time.

Then again that goes for most western countries I reckon.

Thank for giving genuine feedback. Appreciated.

lol, yes, Kensington Ave in Philadelphia, that's what America looks like. Turned off the video there.

Shame. You're intelligent enough to look past such hyperbolic imagery and know it's put there for a reason. It does exist, doenst it?

Using it for it's intended purpose should be frowned upon indeed. But to neglect the whole video because of it..

Then again it's your prerogative Boss man 🌟
 
As a korean living in texas i think, imo, murica has become too diverse for its own good. I want to retire in s korea or something

It's one of the worst places in Philadephia to go, if not the whole northern east coast.

I grew up in Philadelphia, even as a pre teen you knew that was a bad area.

If the video is using that as a quick example of the decline of western civilization, they're just picking low hanging fruit.

As for the decline of intelligence or low I.Q. there is a factor to take into consideration. We're the third largest population in the world. Statistically there will be room for lower intelligence.

Great post. And again I'm sure it goes for other countries as well. Thanks for being objective and informative.

Not sure if you've seen this doc, but Channel 5 is one of the best independent journalists out there right now. He spent some time in Philly growing up and he goes into he history of how kennsington came to be. He does a good job humanizing the people. The Vegas tunnels doc is a great follow up if you like this
 
It's a whole bunch of factors, honestly. The western world has been in decline for a while. I'd say the biggest reasons are diet, pharmaceutical industries, and the push for no accountability. Like pigs being led to slaughter. You'll see tons of commercials for all sorts of problems, but not one saying the benefits of exercise or drinking more water.

A lot of other nations have been improving though, so maybe things are just evening out

Can't trust a Mistake..... Mistake Mistake
 
I'll watch the video in a bit, but Americans? Fucking love em. I want to be there, buy a V8, guns, lots and lots of guns and eat massive steaks. I'm a simple man.

I don't care if they're considered stupid, I'm stupid. Let me in! :messenger_tears_of_joy:
