The clip started out so well; young people know their future has been stolen from them. They’re not stupid, lazy or shiftless; they know they’ll never get ahead because the game was rigged against them before they were ever born.
Yes, young dispossessed men with time on their hands and nothing to lose ARE dangerous; they start revolutions.
Atleast people have the guts to point out how terrible this system has become. Adding to the wealth inequality that will become worse with AI taking jobs and jobs being shipped to an area that can afford to do it for less there is another problem, climate change, and the politicians have just started to implement solutions that don’t go far enough to save this planet. If drastic changes are not made to solve wealth inequality, over population, wasteful production and destruction of products, and so much more, we are doomed
I was initially impressed with his man’s assessment. I had no prior knowledge of him. Upon deeper investigation I learned he’s a marketing prof at NYU/Stern and formerly worked in private industry presumable in very lucrative ways. I listened to some of his podcasts. His heart is not in it for the underdog, IMHO, as much as he goes on this colorful rant.
I guess my takeaway is that he’s crafty at making splashy messaging/story telling. I have no reason to believe he’d dedicated to this problem in a substantive way.
Second takeaway, media allows this type of interviewee over a true leftist like say, Yanis Varoufakis, because this Mr Galloway isn’t interested in a movement to change.
Need protests, strikes, labor unions, etc etc. Can’t just complain
