Hi tovarischi,

So last video performed really well and I've started working on the new one but I'm not happy with the direction. Then I thought why not do something... different by consulting you guys? Please go ahead and give me video ideas you'd like to see in the comments, and if I believe my skills are on par with my ability to talk about the subject I might just make it.

If you see a recommendation you would have made yourself - just like it.

Thanks,
Yugopnik

A video on what we love about capitalism. How it temporarily defeated feudalism. The ability of the little guy to finally get ahead. How beneficial it can be at the local level before capital accumulation and exploitation poisons it. I love my farmer's market. I also have pitch forks and torches in my shed for the big day. I'm worried that my country is going back to feudalism. Property values are up 40% since the pandemic started. Industrial capitalism is starting to look like an improvement. I had no idea how much worse the new financial capitalism would be.

I love the History of England podcast that guy has a typical dry British sense of humor but the latest episode was talking about how in the 1300s banks and money lenders saved merchants from having to actually haul an overwhelming and unsecure physical amount of coins and I realized I had kind of forgotten about that particular physical problem with money. No point, just your comment made me think of this...

I have questions that I am not even sure I can formulate on the topic of alienation, despair, and "the pursuit of happiness". How do people in cultures outside the US view happiness, suffering, and how are they motivated by it? I feel like here in the US we act like we can't tolerate ANY suffering while simultaneously experiencing it profoundly all the time because of alienation in the Marxist sense. Why is the "richest" country a seething, undulating mass of real and perceived suffering? And what prevents it from being a motivator to outrage and revolt? Frankly I can't imagine the white middle classes being gutted enough in my lifetime that they (we, technically) will get on board with revolution. I hope this makes sense.
