1. Capitalism: Winners picking whom the losers will be?

2. You can never be rational with a myth believing religionist.

3. Jenk is, as usual, intolerably and unnecessarily verbose.

But he's usually right in his conclusions. I guess these two aspects of him work in tandem and as well as they do, limping along adequately, because he does his "deep" thinking out loud, to an audience. He "projectile opines" onto others since his internal audience long ago became deaf to contradiction.

I think it's a product of his childhood upbringing. Any Turkish persons out there who might offer insight?

4. "...but didn't call out OTHER totalitarian regimes."

He said the quiet part out loud.

Engages in sophistry in order to "win" debates.
Their debate style is to overwhelm with words and word salad, change definitions ( like "freedom" ) and when trapped move the goal posts.
They also like to construct strawman arguments when pushed to the wall. The Chamber of Commerce likes to book these speakers in order to give intellectual "cover" to their ideologies that they lost in academia a long time ago; paid intellectual shills like Dinesh D'Souza, Shapiro and the late Milton Friedman are supported by right wing billionaires and think tanks to make the rounds to defend Capitalism. But you never see them debate with anybody with any debating skill lest they and their ideas are exposed for the shams that they are. When you examine their ideas, you see how empty and invalid they are.
Case in point: Milton Friedman. A hotshot debater in his time, you now see many writers taking his ideas apart (now that he's dead) and how they debunked his debating style: https://erik-engheim.medium.com/how-milton-friedman-was-wrong-but-still-won-arguments-2f3018dca607

If you notice, nobody is citing Friedman too much anymore.
