Not a single Democrat running for office is advocating for communism, but for the past 3-4 months Donald Trump has been spreading a lot of fear about communism and trying to portray democratic socialists as communists in disguise. What is your position on this whole thing? Is there a threat?

Donald Trump is telling his supporters that "America will never be a communist country" and "together we will defeat communism", and said there is a resurgence of "communist menace" during his U.S. 250th celebration speech, and similar things like that during the past few months. He is also trying to portray democratic socialists as communists in disguise, which is like saying that Scandinavian countries are cold war Soviet in disguise.

My LG C5 can't do DTS-HD on its internal media player, so I've been watching movies through an external HDD connected to an old WD TV Live media player from 2011, and everything's been running flawlessly in great quality. Would I get any improvement from buying an Nvidia Shield Pro instead?

The Nvidia Shield Pro does support 4K, which the WD TV Live media player doesn't do, but all of my movies and TV shows are 1080p anyway so that doesn't really matter. And there's barely any difference between the LG C5's upscaler and the Shield Pro's upscaler as far as I know. But please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm just trying to find reasons not to spend another $250 if it doesn't justify a good amount of increase in picture quality.

Which is better; Highly compressed small size 4K movies á la YTS/YIFY or 1080p movies with almost no compression if you're gonna watch them on a 4K TV? Can a 1080p movie upscaled through Nvidia Shield Pro ever compete with native 4K movie?

I have a large library of 1080p movies, and they're about the file size of a 4K movie from YTS/YIFY so if I had to upgrade my library from 1080p to 4K, I would have to settle for highly compressed movies to fit them all on my external HDD.

Which movies have an alternative cut, like a Directors Cut, that makes the movie better than the original?

I'm not very familiar with different kind of cuts and I don't know whether there's really that many movies that has a Directors Cut or anything similar, but I do remember having seen some discussion about it like 10 years ago, so I just came to think about if there are some movies that actually get better with a particular kind of cut. And are all Extended Editions actually worth the time?

Do you support the increasing surveillance in society by companies such as Flock and Palantir? And do you believe that Palantir's technology used by ICE to track down illegal immigrants might be used against American citizens as well in the future?

I've just finished the 20th and last season of classic western show Gunsmoke (1955-1975). What's the longest running TV show you've watched all the way to the end?

I can't say that all of the 635 episodes were good ones, but I'd say that 80-85% of them were actually good and enjoyable. Absolutely hated the 15-20 silly episodes. Also, f*ck John Wayne. James Arness is the ultimate hard-ass cowboy.

Do you believe that people are justified to be upset about Critical Race Theory, considering the fact that it's basically just a history class with focus on systemic racial injustice in the United States? Why do you think this is so controversial?

I'm torn between a Hisense E8 for $740 and a Hisense U77 for $950. Can anyone offer some insight into the difference between the E-series and the U-series, and whether the price difference is justifiable? I mean, both are MiniLED ULED with 4K and 144Hz.
