but the masses .. would they know we're living in a dystopia

2018-07-17 22:55:30 UTC  

But the logic she was using was under different context

2018-07-17 22:55:33 UTC  

yeah liek that NK soldier that escaped to SK and asked to hear K-pop to make sure he was out of hell

2018-07-17 22:56:00 UTC  

people are using up too many jobs and it is causing people to not be unemployed

2018-07-17 22:56:36 UTC  

course looking at that, there are more jobs available than are people unemployed

2018-07-17 22:57:26 UTC  

yeah the US currently has more jobs available than most of the world

2018-07-17 22:57:33 UTC  

The logic you are using would be something valid to look at though, but Cortez was saying that people are working 80 hours and cant feed their kids

2018-07-17 22:57:43 UTC  

currently more than the UK

2018-07-17 22:57:54 UTC  

suggesting that she thinks that people are necessarily working 2 jobs

2018-07-17 22:58:29 UTC  

She is trying to shoe horn all the bad things she sees into a coherent argument. She is failing.

2018-07-17 22:58:56 UTC  

She also has almost no understanding of basic economics

2018-07-17 22:59:21 UTC  

waiting anxiousley for the next vid XD

2018-07-17 22:59:26 UTC  

Well you kind of need to not understand basic economics to be a socialist.

2018-07-17 22:59:31 UTC  

Someone should ask her about supply vs demand

2018-07-17 22:59:44 UTC  

lol cringe engage

2018-07-17 22:59:56 UTC  

i mean to be honest economics is essentially an art

2018-07-17 23:00:01 UTC  

I wonder how someone can go study economics and become socialist...

2018-07-17 23:00:18 UTC  

with all of the different economic models and theories you can analyse

2018-07-17 23:00:31 UTC  

A lot of things lie somewhere between art and science

2018-07-17 23:00:48 UTC  

sifting though all the data (which there is alot)

2018-07-17 23:00:59 UTC  

If you throw out the art or science aspect you run into trouble

2018-07-17 23:01:12 UTC  

a great movie i like about economics is Boom Bust Boom

2018-07-17 23:01:17 UTC  

or Bust Boom Bust

2018-07-17 23:01:35 UTC  

Boom Bust Boom was correct

2018-07-17 23:01:55 UTC

2018-07-17 23:02:43 UTC

2018-07-17 23:02:55 UTC

2018-07-17 23:03:32 UTC

2018-07-17 23:03:46 UTC  

if taken with a grain of salt

2018-07-17 23:03:49 UTC

2018-07-17 23:04:01 UTC

2018-07-17 23:04:14 UTC  

YEAH lol hahah though i got a buddy whos majored in econ so i got a good reference

2018-07-17 23:04:17 UTC  

Most important thing to remember about free markets and capitalism is this: we had these things long before we realized they were there, before we had names for them. They are a side effect of humans with stuff getting together.

2018-07-17 23:04:26 UTC  

We had to invent socialism.

2018-07-17 23:05:16 UTC  

yeah lol im very familliar with the principles of how free market economics works so hopefully it will be a review with some important shit my pleb ass didnt pick up over the past few years

2018-07-17 23:05:29 UTC  

also the actual terms for shit

2018-07-17 23:05:32 UTC  

terminology and what not

2018-07-17 23:05:37 UTC  

Yes because capitalism follows human nature unlike socialism/communism which wants to forcefully change it.

2018-07-17 23:06:06 UTC  

also i liek to think i have a direct example of socialism and its woes living in canada

2018-07-17 23:06:22 UTC  

also a more socialist part of canada in terms of the mainstream political views lol

2018-07-17 23:07:28 UTC
