  • Well said. Yes, we already live in socialism, just that it’s socialism for the wealthy with harsh austerity for the rest of us.

    I agree with everything you say there. It sounds more and more like a return to feudalism everytime I think about it.

    The wealthy are literally trying to price working people out of existence. This is one of many forms of increasing class warfare we’re forced to endure.

    Certainly the only solution is organised militant resistance 💪 eat the rich asap 🔥


  • Money is a pie, we each get paid with pieces of the pie. Government prints their fiat money, but unless economic production also increases, their newly printed money just means the pieces of the pie get smaller.

    So you will still get paid in the same amount of pieces of the pie, only they’re smaller now. This is the best way I’ve found to think about inflation. This also helps me to understand how cost of living is generally 3 times as expensive now as it was back in the 70s (for most of the western world). Because money is worth about 3 times less than it was. Because so much God damn fiat money has been printed. Look at those insane Fred charts. 2008 was a massive inflexion point, as was 2020.

    The government printed so much money, so much more than the increased production of economic value, that the pieces of pie that we all get paid in are 3 times smaller than they were 50 years ago. The pie didn’t necessarily get bigger, there’s just more pieces of it.

    And certainly the pie has grown since then, but not as much as they’ve printed in fiat.

    So the amount of money in circulation has increased faster than value has been created. Hence that money being worth less, and it taking more of it to buy the same thing.

    I’m clearly not an economist, but this is how I think about it.






  • The century of the self, as well as any other Adam Curtis doco.

    The spiders Web, about the offshore tax haven industry.

    The 2 documentaries on Roy Cohn. Various documentaries on Donald trump, also Epstein.

    Michael Moore has some good documentaries also.

    Vice by Adam McKay. Isn’t really a doco, but in a way it actually is…

    And if we’re talking about high quality information, then the rest is history podcast should be on this list, as well as the behind the bastards podcast.

    Long live those who speak truth to power!
