Capitalism is feeding Zionism

Don’t consume, consume, consume….but guilt trip into sponsoring the channel??? 😂😂

Hope you can get Patreon funded like Second Thoughts

Sad

It's terribly ironic that the hardcore capitalists who built wealth by owning shares don't realize that their wealth is socialized.

Thank you 🙏

Bona fide

Please come early.

I am a bit late to this video but thank you so much for putting together this video. I was feeling really hopeless about the state of the world. But this has given me a piece of hope to hold onto!!

No one is really paying attention to what is happening on this Planet. Once the Oil is used up in the Middle East, there will be no more interest in the region by the rest of the Planets people. We will hear no more about them and Israel will probably take over the region and turn it in a very productive farming enterprise, something the Arabs have never been able to do. I'm pretty sure that once the Oil is gone, Islam will die out as a world religion.

Money is like manure. It's no good unless it is spread around. Pile up too much and it becomes toxic!

I have KZbin premium, I’ve had it since 2019 so I kinda forgot all about advertisement. I don’t see a single one. I’m not sure how that supports the content creators videos that I watch though, but it is a pay wall so it should help somehow. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I personally can’t afford to give a dollar to each content creator. It’s more affordable for me to have the KZbin premium personally.

Minimalism has been so unbelievably freeing for me, found the idea on youtube and then went from there. It makes me so much less anxious to have an uncluttered space, I rarely buy new things, and have so much more time to do things I enjoy

I like the video but there's a glaring error; William Gibson isn't an economist; he's a sci-fi author. He is indeed attributed with the quote mentioned in the video; but he isn't an economist: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Gibson

Can you make a video on BECCS technology?

Why can’t you separate the hate of racist (whether it be protesters or police officers) from a police station that is a symbol of love for the community? If there is racism from police officers or a violent mob blame them and not from the the station or a few non racist police officers who have vowed to to keep the citizens safe from harm!

You sound like a paranoid communist(not a socialist). The abuse of capitalism is fascism. There is nothing wrong with paying employees a living wage if done by capitalism.

Capitalism and consumption will only be good when prople buy whsg they truly need . Example,i need a smartphone to do my work, banking, entertainment etc. but i dont need the latest features to be in the in trend .

Thank you for being a strong voice for many people's concerns. Also of course the Earth

I can't even truely imaging anything other than capitalism. I guess that's the point/goal of capitalists. What a difference it would be to escape this dystopia. We could make the world more awesome and wonderful that we think possible. I hope we do in my lifetime.

He talks about over consumerism while brow beating us to give him money

5:08 Accurate! Thank you.

Capitalism has allowed us to produce enough food that we could, in principle, feed the entire world's population (for now.) Of course, if we tried that, the population would grow to the point that we could no longer feed the entire world's population. And... if you try to "escape capitalism," food production will go down dramatically. It's not that anyone think other systems are impossible. It's that all attempts at other systems have proven to be more coercive and more detrimental to the general population. I don't want another Stalin. Every time people quote Marx and try an implementation, the world gets another Stalin. No. You will not "get it right this time."

Too true, unfortunately.

How can governments and corporations enforce a 95% decrease in consumer consumption on everyone living in a first world country? At gunpoint? Who decides what consumption is "necessary" or worthy of being cut? Serious questions.

Could've done without the scary music.

It should be a compromise of both

How are the people in the assembly lines going to decide what to produce if they are busy working? Then talking about private property? What if your private property is a factory? But the worker would decide what to produce? That's a recipe to erase all factories and make the last factories go bankrupt! If you want an utopic society you will have to think in the modernity and future instead what Marx imagined and didn't work in the Soviet Union.

counter agrgument i couldnt care less about consumerism, i buy new jeans when the old ones break and they are all off brand, i have a 4 year old phone im not planning to replace and 90% of my groceries are raw ingredients but when a doctor chooses to work 12 hours a day to afford a new car and overseas vacations i benefit from it, thats what capitalism does for me, a life of luxury at the expense of people obsessed with posting pictures of themselves online and i dont need to own much, i barely spend any money in fact just what it costs to survive

Its not the corporations were almost 11 billion and this is whats destroying the world

My last online purchase was a set of stainless steel knitting needles. I bought them because my aluminium needles were scraping against each other when I worked the tight stitches of a cable, and the scraped aluminium was leaving grey stains on my fingers - not a healthy choice. I am slowly knitting my way through a small bag of cotton yarn I bought a while ago, making cotton beanies to replace the synthetic fibre beanies I was previously wearing to keep my head warm. When I have enough beanies I'll move on to fingerless gloves. I'm working towards minimising the amount of plastics in my life to things where there really isn't an alternative - I still like electricity and electronics and that requires plastic insulation, for instance - and also reducing other negative substances like aluminium, while increasing the amount of vegetables I eat, etcetera. My device is a pretty decent number of years old now, and I bought it after the last one was declared beyond resuscitation by the local repair shop. I don't feel like anyone is advertising to me to make these choices. I had to buy the stainless steel needles online because my local craft shops don't stock them. Ebay advertises stuff to me after I've got what I was looking for there, and Temu is currently offering me free delivery on weather forecasts. The stainless steel is giving really good slip and they're pleasant to knit with, too - just like aluminium but without the grey stains. If there's anything big I'm missing, I'm open to suggestions.

It’s there goal to run the world and there children after them they already controls most of the government they want to be kings in or lands and eventually overlords like you see in a sci fi movie

It's always the one percent. My heart always says that humans are fundamentally good and loving, but the history says otherwise, history is all filled with wars, destruction and violence. But now i understand, it's not because humans are inherently bad, but because majority have always been influenced and brainwashed and fear mongered by some evil people, and there numbers are mainly 1-5% who are notorious and they are the reason behind all wars, destruction, climate change, etc. These 1% are people who should be in jail or getting therapies, but unfortunately they are sitting at the top

Theres one pitfall aspect to this argument that i find comes from the lense of imperialism which is the demonization of maximallism which in our society usually puts forward the white version of minimalism. In many cultures people collect things while still living frugally by making things themselves. Plenty of people who collect do so by ethical means living frugally doesnt always mean not having, but changing the origins of where you consume. Thrift shops, small businesses, becoming an artisen without nedding it to be a career etc. Culturally humans want to collect but we are forced to do so in a purely capiltalist lense. People collect in a spiritual and artistic way when divorced from capitalism. The problem isnt consumerism but the globalization of it. This is more of a critique of the comment section than the video

I like grocery shopping, I hate to shop clothes and decoration, so I stopped long ago to shop decoration.

Excellent, good

We are all going to die so let us stop buying what We don't need.

If you liked this video, I can recommend the book "A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things" by Jason W. Moore and Raj Patel. I'm currently reading it and loving it.

In ancient times, weather changes and disasters, were attributed to God. These days where god is men, it is men's responsability😂😂 45 years in this planet and still can understand or make any sense of how men society works.

@4:40 Economist William Gibson? Was that meant as a joke?

Every worker can buy a share of their company every month, and they will very quickly become majority shareholders. Then they can vote to unionize and sell (or keep) their shares.

Those with the highest agriculture land holdings in india are the biggest capitalists...as per caste system.

The chilly winters are a memory. Increased precipitation and rains exist now. Even september and october months dont hv earlier typical onset of winter season. Year 2023 warmer than than year 2022.

Rarely watch movies either, except a dvd of show (60’s or 70’s) or if someone’s over and wants amovie (very rare).seldom eat out, make my food from scratch & always garden veggies too. I get teased all the time, because if I have to buy something, I struggle.

Does this also mean no more buying merch of our favorite movies, shows, and video games such as clothing and action figures?

I buy most of my goods at Thrift stores or used. And I am currently use IPHONE 8, while the IPhone 15. Since I don’t stream, rarely watch Yv or influencers, my fashions, tech etc are always way behind.

Also look at work of Edward Bernays.

Socialists, just made the State and its elite enlightened leaders the only winners.
