The ignorance even about the history of socialism is unbelievable.
As you mentioned, I went to school in the Soviet Union.
I had to take scientific communism, believe it or not.
I was just studying language, but I had to take that class.
Coming back to the United States and seeing the difference between how students were taught about the Soviet era when I was in high school and what happens now, they don't teach them anything about the bad things that happened in the Soviet era, about how that kind of economics doesn't work, about how even the Soviet Union had to abandon, you know, so-called war communism where they fix prices and go back to the market as early as 20...
uh 1921 uh none of this stuff is known uh here in the united states they don't know about the massacres the political prisoners um and so all this is just novel it just sounds like a bunch of politicians promising them free stuff and you know a pathway to a fairer economy not understanding the underlying politics are are tremendously dangerous
I would love to.
My son was actually telling me about it.
So I would love to check it out.
It's unbelievable.
And, you know, this person who has clearly got problems and has no ideas other than to roll out a bunch of academic gobbledygook phrases that she was fed at one time or another as if...
they're real or meaningful.
But to use your own child like that, and even to publicly denounce your child's heritage, I think that's, you know, as a parent, that does not sit well with me.
I'm a half Asian, and I've never had a problem
In this country, it doesn't particularly bother me.
And most of the people I know who are don't seem to have any issue with it unless your parent makes it an issue on television, which is what she's doing.
No, it's you should never be as a celebrity.
It's always an awful thing when you when you bring your kids into some kind of public controversy.
You know, there was a
a moment in the i remember in the 80s and 90s when people were writing parenting books and they were making celebrities out of their kids who didn't want to be uh and but this is even worse this is demonizing part of their background uh and taking a 10 year old kid who has no choice in the matter and thrusting um i guess him right into the middle of this picture it's uh i i think that's horrible i can't believe that people um are endorsing it no it's very disturbing
