On the one hand, I enjoy his content; in precisely the same way I like reading about the politics and history of Dungeons and Dragons settings. "Cool story, bro."
On the other hand, I question what's being done about all of this. Watching youtube videos? Discussing political philosophy? I did that for ten years. Made a bit of coin, got laid a few times, but at the end of the day what changed?
The problem is, people don't want to change. They want to complain - but they don't want to do anything to fix it. They've got their marvel movies, their vidya, the Internet porn, and their fast food. Sure, they'll bitch about all of them - but the moment you try and do a thing to change it, they'll tell you they're too busy.
The number of us who actually give enough of a damn to try and build a better world are less than 1% of the population - and 1% isn't big enough to change the system. We're better off working on changing our immediate circumstances, than trying to resurrect a failed system. Let the thing crash and burn; put yourself into a better position for tomorrow.
Yes indeed.
Humans are not perfect, & as such, no human system will ever be perfect.
Resulting in the dilemna of whether to attempt to stall the fall or not...
