Billionaires Are Terrified. They Should Be.
Get your free, 30-second personalized assessment TODAY at https://PDSDebt.com/miller. | On an earnings call last week Steve Roth, CEO of Vernado, likened the phrase “Tax the Rich” to a racial slur. That same week, protests of the Met Gala and the Manhattan Institute gala had protestors facing off with billionaires in black tie attire. They know we’re angry, and they’re terrified. Paying more in taxes is the least they could do.

If they don’t want to be taxed, ok, then they no longer get any of the benefits of the infrastructure. No electricity, no water, no use of roads, no internet…etc. these people are thieves.

You better hope those security guards and chauffeurs are BIG fans of capitalism.

You said Hasan Piker reminded you of those obnoxious political-science majors who "talked over you" in college. Yet now you sound exactly like him. Maybe they were "talking over you" for a reason.
Anyway, welcome to the revolution, Comrade. Glad you finally made it. The most important step in growth is swallowing your pride and admitting you were wrong.

Social media is controlled by wealthy people with an agenda. Keep that in mind. It's literally designed to keep us fighting with each other, to keep us divided, to keep us angry. Heck, probably a good 80% of commenters on a political video or article are fake. There's no point to it, other than to make you feel your side is losing and that you need to engage more, comment more, be more angry.
Now we have people wanting to literally kill someone for having a different belief. How un-American is that? You want to kill me because I don't believe what you do? You think I am part of the 1% that controls things in society? Brother, I'm your neighbor! I live i the same town, drive the same streets, eat at the same restaurants, our kids go to school and play sports together… And you want to kill me? Is that going to solve anything?
Get off social media. Live by your values. Be kind to other people. Realize the fight is up and down, not left to right.

Ive been growing tiered of eating cereal, and cake doesn't even sound too bad right now. I can only afford the little cereal boxes too 😔 like, the cute little single serving boxes.

We are facing food shortages in the not too distant future because we didn't have the fertilizer needed for planting crops. Nothing will change as long as the middle class is still making ends meet. But it's all gonna come to a boiling point sooner than we realize. We've got to get progressive candidates elected. That's our only hope.

Sorry, you lost me at "and probably a raging Zionist". I keep coming back to your channel because I do respect a lot of your analysis, but the constant antisemitism (yeah, I said it) just turns me off.
You really don't know what that word means. It means believing that the Jewish people have a right to live in their historic homeland, to maintain the presence we've had there for thousands of years. It does not mean, as you and so many others want to imply, "kill all the Arabs".
Netanyahu sucks. He's sucked for several decades now. He is a criminal and should be in jail for a very long time.
The fact that most Jews (including me) overwhelmingly support Israel's right to exist, in safety and security, doesn't mean we all are ok with the current government and its policies and decisions.
It's not different than if I said all Americans are fascist monsters who delight in heinous human rights abuses and glorify Dear Leader.
In other words, get your head out of your ass.

Billionaires will meet destruction and we will see it with our own eyes
James 5: 1-5
Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you! Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes! Your gold and silver are corroded! Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire! You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty! You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence! You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter!

@18:30 and this is why that discomfort must continue
Reform, taxation, these are temporary bandaid solutions that will only ease the pain of existing under capitalism.
We need massive change.
