globalism how a pre-teen would explain it
mirta-6030014 March 2019
The whole series is a very idealistic view on globalism. Unfortunately for any side portrayed, they never talk with the counter side and they never display the minuses. As a European, it really stuck with me when they said that Europe is economically prosperous (you mean we aren't in as much debt as USA? I wouldn't call this economically prosperous. Everyone's lives worldwide have been getting harder and harder since the 1980s, with the exception of occupied countries who did get their lives improved.) and the fact that they had the 42nd president of United States talk about diversity and how globalism multiplies the opportunities while nationalism divides it. I find that not going out and speaking with the people hurt by globalism (anyone from indigenous tribes, to the working poor of UK really) was very dishonest.
It paints the opposition as stupid and it promotes the kind of thinking that I had when I was 12. "Why can't there be no walls and no countries?". Unfortunately afterwards you face all the issues and grow up.

Neoliberal one-sided propaganda

Morgan Freeman is a brilliant Character without a doubt. It riddles me how he can fall in this Binary Trap of absolute Good and Evil. The World isn't absolute... its probabilistic. There is no Black and White. Just many Shades of Grey.
I really liked the first Season: "The Story of God". This one on the other Hand (the Story of Us) not so much.
Its clustered with One-sided arguments and rhetoric, not even trying to understand the other side. And there is a Word for that: Propaganda.
He is traveling to indigenous people, trying to understand them and the Culture...but apparently he is to afraid to travel to Russia (or Syria) to undergo a honest attempt to understand them.
A good Documentary needs to be made from a neutral perspective...and that means that you also have to talk to people you don't like. And that's the reason why i can't give this more than 1/10 stars. I would even give 0 to be honest... but this isn't possible.
What happen to you Morgan? Do you really need THIS to pay the Bills?
And no, i am not a Putin Troll. I don't believe in Ideologies, Politics or Religion. I am my own sovereign, and i know whats right and wrong. Rulebooks are obsolete... everybody knows deep down whats right and wrong.
