President Dwight Eisenhower's Farewell Address to the nation January 17, 1961, and yet they still didn't listen.

This is the kind of video that matters. This isn't some young, smiling, fame-obsessed politician making up shit to try to win office for his own ambition. This is a man at the end of his political and military career who isn't fucking around and is trying to tell all of us, including our future generation, shit that is actually important to him.

One of the most important speeches of the 20th century, his warning has proved to be all too true, though now we must expand the term to "military-industrial-surveillance complex." It is fucking terrifying how accurately he predicted today's America. it's a shame that America no longer has real generals like Eisenhower anymore. real shame
