As a European, I find Reckless Ben’s “Lego Scandal” videos quite revealing, because they illustrate very well—albeit on a smaller scale—just how utterly corrupt the U.S. system really is. It’s obviously the same on a larger scale, though the corruption and the outrageous injustice are carried out using the same utterly mindless methods—by truly mindless people whose only distinguishing feature is that they are so incredibly unscrupulous and selfish.
If you haven’t seen the Ben's Lego videos yet, check em out. They really do a great job of showing how the world works in the US.
Edit: Just to be clear: Some of Ben’s methods are certainly questionable, and some things are misrepresented for the sake of production value. Nevertheless, the videos are very compelling and entertaining, even though it’s frightening just how irreparably broken the U.S. system is.
