1. Truthful Comedy: Australian Housing Mafia Much Like America’s ***

Yep, turn us all into horribly gouged renters.

Honest Government Ad | the Rental (& Housing) Crisis ~ thejuicemedia (Nov 30, 2022)

Note: Reminder by me: Having homes to live in (whether owned, rented, or community-given) is not only for roofs over our heads, but for having acceptable human lives (a nest to relax in and have secured life need supplies and safely store one’s needed things, plus a place to have family and/or friends to share life with — we aren’t flies but humans).

2. U.S. Terrible Legal System Rather than Justice System /*

The start (plus smaller later parts) of the video comparing with Russia, but much more importantly this video gives shocking data on our immoral legal system (including insane imprisonments of countless innocent people and even Supreme Court Permission to Execute innocent people). (minor critique from me: the only real lack IMHO being that only Republican top criminals get presented, not any of the very similar “Democratic” top criminals that should be included (his rather minor hint at Obama and his side mention that the D Party is hardly better than the R Party nowadays is not enough equality IMHO; I feel that both criminal parties must always together be presented of their crimes to help American voters waking up enough to drop voting for the imagined “lesser evil” and to start pushing for a real democracy))

3. Water Theft and Resale by Billionaire Couple **

Short video demonstrating the corrupt gangster marriage between rich money lords, government crooks, and corrupticians.

4. Railroad Strike Discussion *

Some good insights. (mostly in the 2nd half)

Railroad Workers’ Organizer Sets The Record Straight On Recent Agreement ~ The Jimmy Dore Show (Dec 17, 2022)

5. Big Tech Spying on Us *

Not only fartphones (yes, I don’t call them smartphones) but even certain toothbrushes and toilets. (in addition to price gouging us via self-killing or payment-needing forced upgrades)

Big Tech Spying – Ralph Nader Radio Hour Ep 458 (Dec 17, 2022)

6. Reminder of U.S. Improvements (Now Mostly Repealed) Nearly 100 Years Ago **

Richard Wolff gave this speech years ago (when apparently Obama was still the president). And, almost funny, a high percentage of commenters come from the other corner, the corner of people who desire a monopoly-style win and loss economy making a few (them) rich and the rest of us eternally poor, always fictionally recommending it as a more successful economy which in turn would help us all (when it doesn’t). Are they possibly hired trolls? Our focus should be on proper human lives for us all, not GPA cults based on an over-focus on money and skipping over much of our work done for human lives (more than half of it unemployed). Sorry, not more info from me here because of lacking time.

7. The Laws of Capitalism Trailer

This trailer presents a series of speech videos by a law-language using person who in her series presents the immorality in our economic and legal systems. For most of us the used vocabulary is probably too hard to understand and the speeches too long-winded and not focused enough on what we all should understand. Sometimes one picks up some good revelations, but I suspect the series is not good enough for most of us. Just in case a lawyer-type visits here, that visitor may find them great, and for that reason I share it here. And quite possibly, this channel (New Economic Thinking) has better videos findable in its stack.

8. Solidarity: Short (past) Reminder form Cornel West of Proper Human Life Aims **

Also surely a recast. But to the point.

We are living in a Malcolm X moment! ~ People’s Podcast (Dec 5, 2022)

Note: I somehow came across this video, and thus discovered that moronic YouTube nowadays creates 2 different versions of videos AND split them into different outlets. So, there is a “Shorts” page now besides a “Videos” page on the YouTube channels. Easy to miss one. *sigh*

9. Dennis Kucinich Interview with Chris Hedges

… on U.S. war abuse and both major Parties playing along with it (he D Party ages ago having had some politicians against it).

How the war machine took over the Democrats w/ Dennis Kucinich | The Chris Hedges Report ~ The Real News Network (Dec 16, 2022)

10. Neoliberal Austerity as People Subordination and Pave to Fascism **

The lady is a little hard to understand, but seems to me to give a highly likely correct history analysis discovering increased unemployment plus decreased state help as a means for killing the bargaining power of the workers thus subordinating them and making them accept the capitalist order (because they can no longer afford or find the strength to try to change it, having to essentially kiss the feet of the employers to get a any job or two or three jobs, and stay in their approval, and in this struggle themselves forget about desirable social changes in the years and decades to follow when change seems impossible and personal survival by worker struggle becomes the focus). During the same time the money lords get officially praised as the economy maintainers and growers while the working people are busy struggling just for survival, all this while still existing unions and leftist parties were getting weakened and crushed by governments and corporations to leave working people with nothing to defend them. All this giving a direct and indirect shift of resources, power, and changes-making from the majority (working class) to the minority (the capitalist class).

11. Social Bonds (broken and needed to be repaired) *

Capitalism Hits Home: Broken Social Bonds ~ Democracy At Work (Harriet Fraad, Dec 22, 2022)

12. Socialism vs Capitalism = Positive vs Negative Incentives *

Why You Should Be A Socialist In 2023 ~ Second Thought (Dec 23, 2022)

Honorable Mention:

Discussion on damage made by inequality. A little bloated, but giving some good insights starting mostly half-way through at 16:48 where I share it to start (e.g.: how our capitalist healthcare system avoids curing): Dr. Stephen Bezruchka: Inequality Kills Us All ~ The Zero Hour with RJ Eskow (Dec 17, 2022)
