I mean the one thing I would say is that, well, you know, of course Trump dominates the headlines, that he's, and he's an awful person, he's a distraction.
2
And that the true, I mean,
3
I could go on, but the systemic problems that gave rise to Trump are at the core of what's going on.
4
And it existed during the Obama administration, the Bush administration, the Clinton administration, the Bush,
5
is that the drive to enrich the .001% at the expense of working class
6
and middle class people is what has driven people to a level of economic anxiety, both in the United States and in the UK,
7
which has caused a fertile field for demagogues to use the oldest trick in the book, which is racist divide and rule, and to separate the working class, and oh, it's the Mexicans' fault,
8
oh, it's the Russians' fault, oh, it's the immigrants' fault.
9
It's not their fault.
10
Like, any undocumented worker
11
and a white working class person in Alabama have much more in common about their needs for themselves
12
and their families with each other than they do with Donald Trump.
13
And yet, somehow, there's been this sand thrown in our eyes because, you know, racism is the oldest scapegoat in the book.
14
And you see it here with your, like, Brexit and that shit.
15
It's like, it's a trick.
16
But if you don't recognize the underlying problems, there'll only continue to be this kind of division between right and left,
17
between white and brown, as opposed to the division there should be, which is between us and them.
18
Very well said.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
