God I just love Ben saying 'top-down control and decisions' constantly in a negative tone, while his literal utopian society is a top down controlled government.
Correction: His utopia is a society ruled, top-down, by CORPORATIONS with a government that exists exclusively to protect their profit interests over any other consideration.
As well as top-down controlled corporations with minimal workers' rights.
@@inkpenavengerYT served with theocracy sprinkles
@@inkpenavengerYTBen Shapiro is a grifter. I do believe he is ideologically a right libertarian but knows fascism is on the rise so he thinks by pandering to them he’ll be spared the gas chamber
he also sounds like Mandark from Dexter's Laboratory.
I’ve said it before but it probably needs to be said again.
Anyone trying to sell you gold, demonstrably believes that holding cash is better than holding gold. Because if they didn’t, they would be buying gold themselves, not selling it.
It’s good to diversify, but yeh those selling gold are capitalizing pushing fear to low Q white American conservatives.
Nooooo they’re being good samaritans by selling people their extra gold, because they can’t have their followers going bankrupt when economic collapse happen
From their perspective, it'd be like taking money...in exchange for less reliable money.
Not even. When the price of gold is considered low they runs ads telling you to sell your gold. When it's high they try to unload.
I don't like how nobody has pointed out that one of those biggest gold sellers on Trump speeches? Birch Gold. If that name don't ring a bell, Google the John Birch Society.
And with a straight face Shapiro wonders why College Campuses don't want to hear him anymore..
Is that true?
@@hollowman9410He keeps whining about being "Censored" but can't seem to figure out why.
@@user-em6ie2be7x What a shame there is no such thing as true "cancel culture" or real consequences/ being held accountable by the law for willfully spreading harmful misinformation for multi-millionaire liars like Ben.
@@sophiepooks2174 Might wanna Tweet that to Shapiro.
@sophiepooks2174 imagine being so scared of someone's opinion you need to ban speech... careful your swastika is showing
I love how at no point in the entire video was religion or religious freedom mentioned in any way, but Ben casually throws in that the “new world order” threatens “your church.”
Which church ben?

The best thing that ever happened at the WEF was Rutger Bregman being invited and spending his entire time talking about the solution obviously being taxing the rich wayyy more. He said it was like "being at a firefighter conference and no one talks about water"
*World Economic Forum:* "You'll own nothing, and you'll be happy."
*Republicans:* "You'll own nothing, and WE'LL be happy (not you)."
Yeah because you're supposed to work for what you got. And when you get it, you're supposed to own it and not live in a rental system as a slave.
@@greasy8394 You are suposed to pretend that you will ever be able to afford what you want and you will never get it and live in the rental system forever.
In principle, it is an extrapolation of streaming-type services in other areas of life.
In streaming, for example, people watch movies and no longer have DVDs or Blu-rays, and it is the service that ensures quality storage, which allows greater coverage, ease of access, fewer accessories and much lower costs.
This is increasingly seen in other cases such as AWS, Amazon Web Service - many companies no longer own their servers, but rather pay for a service, saving costs, maintenance, etc.
The idea behind the philosophy is the promotion of a service economy, at any time you can use a car, objects of all kinds that you do not own, whose maintenance, storage and others is managed by third parties, and with low costs and with great variety in easy way.
This phrase does not imply that private property will be abolished or that people will be forced to give up their possessions. Rather, it is a projection of how consumption and ownership trends could evolve in the future.
In principle I think it should be something mixed, for example for essential things like a House it is much better to "have" but for the rest, reducing costs, facilitating access, variety and seeing modern examples such as web services, consoles, expensive equipment, I don't see it as problematic.
@@RojirigoDThis. The phrase comes from an essay that basically says "You won't own a car... because you'll be able to just ORDER a car to come and get you where you want so you won't need one."
It's kind of stupid but it doesn't mean what conspiracy nutters think.
@@BakaHoushi A car that comes and gets you is called a bus. I support public transit.
I worked with a far-righter some years ago and he was _absolutely_ convinced that resources were infinite, and I do think that particular idea is a fundamental necessity to supporting economic systems that must see continued growth to survive. It was kind of funny in a grim way watching them twist into pretzels attempting to explain how finite resources are a conspiracy theory but not quite figuring out what benefits that "lie" would actually net.
the thing is that, on a human scale, most ressources, especially energy, are for all intents and purpose infinite. It's just that exploiting those ressources requires technology we don't have yet and maybe never will and it gets increasingly more energy-intensive to extract them (if we ever somehow use up all the iron contained within the earth's crust, there is more iron at the core, there's iron all around us in space, etc, it's just not feasible to go get it).
@@rfldss89 Not really, iron is just a bad example, because it's quite common. Easily accessable oil and gasreserves for example, will run out in 50-60 years. Current known uranium reserves will be depleted by the end of the century. Nothing infinite about that.
@@rfldss89
It's more accurately said that some limited resources, like oil, are basically nigh-inexhaustabls but the industry needed to extract it from harder and harder to reach places is going to cost our environment and living standards more and more. Look ay fracking for example and how it poisons ground water and causes all sorts of other havoc for the people living near fracking operations.
Well, infinite until brown people need some.
Then suddenly theres a limit, isnt there?
Funny how these supposedly infinite resources are becoming incredibly scare, and wars are being fought to access them (water and oil being good examples).
Summing up Ben shitpiros argument,
“Corporations should be ghouls, without concerns for consumers, labor or the environmental impacts of production.
Profit shall be their only deity, and any other concern is heresy …”
Not even. He loves it when they spread conservative culture war shit. Whether he thinks a corporations prime motive should be only be making money or influencing culture will switch every minute he spends talking about it
Advertising gold in a conspiracy video seems something classic Ben Shapiro would do.
If only someone would lead a company for replicating gold as a waste product from fusion. I want gold to be so worthless, kids in North Korea are dressed in gold-spun fabric and eating gold flake with their porridge.

As a frame of reference, his infamous pickup truck photo? I can recreate it. Same truck, but mine has a 6" lift and is on 37" tires. I'm 5'10" And my arm is only at a slightly higher angle than his was on a factory height truck. If he's trying to defend his whole "I'm 5'9", I swear!" He shouldn't have used a reference point every redneck knows. A Dodge pickup. It's like our banana for scale.
Yeah, yeah, big truck bad. Idc.
@@ThompsonFlash9999the thing is, big truck actually *NOT* bad. Big truck good, *BUT* only in the environments where needed. Big truck is bad in the hands of city slickers and/or for general transportation in populated areas.
tl;dr like every car on Earth, big trucks are useful tools, but like every tool on Earth, they have their uses
@@chaosundivided2525 well, yes and no, like let's be honest, 99% of people with a truck like mine could get away with a little Japanese mini truck. Those things will do 99% of what 99% of truck owners use them for. And if they were more affordable to import I would totally have one, just for the cool factor.
My big truck at least is a regular cab, not one of these 4 door SUVs with 3' of external cargo room that people call trucks, but I could totally have not lifted it. I might struggle a wee little bit, but off-road tires are king more so than ground clearence, so I could probably still get all my firewood and stuff without the lift. But I like the lift. It looks cool. I won't try to justify it by saying I need the lift, I don't, almost no one does. I just like it.
I could probably get away with a little 4 cylinder midsized ranger or s10 or Colorado, but then it would struggle more under heavier loads. It would still get it done, just what might have taken 2 trips in my truck might take 4 trips in and out of the woods in a smaller truck. But I like the sound of a HEMI through a nice dual exhaust.
I read “genocide rules” in the same way the Bill Nye intro says “science rules”
That entire video just feels like Ben screaming "Look guys, Look!!! I'm one of the good ones!!!" to all the ppl in the DW audience who keep getting radicalized into antisemitism
I wonder sometimes how aware Ben is that no, _he's one of the bad ones!_
Conversely, the left needs to stop trying to knee-jerk cancel "Brother" Nathanael Kaplan _because everything he's been saying for decades is finally coming to a head in Gaza!_
He called out Hamas being a tool of Benny's over 20 years ago!
Just for anyone who's curious, the first streetcar/ trolleys in America were opened in New York in 1832. I believe Britain had them prior to that, but I'm uncertain. It's amazing how much tech has been around much much longer than people would expect.
And then they were tore out by the people who then pushed cars. Weird how we think cars are the best, when we literally removed the original option.

Shareholder Capitalism is when you have a king who‘s only interested in himself. Stakeholder capitalism is when you have a „good“ king who is invested in himself and his people. Socialism is when you have democracy.
Who own all the brands? Capitalists.
Who elect the world leaders? Capitalists.
Who craft policies that are beneficial to them but not others? Capitalists.
Who control the markets? Capitalists.
Who are in charge of all the money flow, i.e. stock exchange and banking? Capitalists.
(This is copied and pasted from my other comments)
With all of those in mind, Ben's big intellectual brain somehow decides to pin all the blame on leftists, who are notoriously anti-capitalism.
Capitalism is the New Left

As someone who knows a lot of people who work as fishermen or in the fishing industry, the people who work there are perhaps the most clueless about the finite nature of what brings them work.
They don’t seem to understand that if you fish everything you loose it all forever.
They say they understand, but every time the government restricts the fishing quotas they will complain and tell you that it isn’t necessary.

People who plan on trading gold or silver in the apocalypse, who will want it?
In a non market economy what intrinsic value does gold have? Its a shiny rock that has no real use outside of electronics and preventing oxidizing of other metals by coating them in it (if only there was another way to prevent rust!).
People prepping for an apocalypse don't buy gold, they buy food and supplies. I think most people who buy gold use it as an inflation hedge.
Because are divisible, scarce, resistent to decay, beatiful, easy to transport, and easy to accumulate.
That is why the first kind of money was metals like cooper, silver and gold.
It'd serve the same function it always has: A display of wealth. Flashing it around has always been a way for those with influence to demonstrate it.
OK but can we agree that Klaus Schwab song goes hard? I'm going to be humming that all day.

I definitely know a bunch of people who won't make the claim that resources are infinite, but assert that we'll just always be able to innovate new resources and new methods to procure them. It reeks to me of cope because the people who make these statements almost universally oppose renewable energy at an ideological level and also constantly bitch about the price of gas and electricity.

"Environmental Redistributionism," AKA "What-if-we-took-the-environment-and-pushed-it-somewhere-else-ism"
Simple way to explain the credit economy. The bulk of most families net worth is in the value of their home if the are lucky enough to own their own. but most people who own their own home don't even own it outright, they have a mortgage, that if they fail to pay, will give the bank ownership of that home. The bulk of the wealth of the American middle class exists as credit.
Skyscrapers are an important technology for large walkable cities. Without skyscrapers, we won't have high-density urban centres, we'll have medium-density urban spill. This is likely to bring with it negative social changes.
OTOH, even though there won't be skyscrapers as we know them without steel, even plain old wood construction can relatively easily reach around eight-floor buildings, plus or minus a bit, and new fancy plastics or advances in graphene chemistry might be able to improve on that, even if graphene-based steel-less skyscrapers are unlikely. (But then again, in our history, most of plastics science was developed on the basis of coal tar chemistry. Bakelite, now obsolete, is the main exception.)
The ONLY good thing about credit cards is that it allowed women to escape situations they might not have been able to before, once women were allowed to have a credit card in the first place. Not having to have CASH on hand to escape opened up more possibilities
There's nothing more annoying than Shabibo's vocie, except for annoying chatters.
The days of building a quality product that lasts a long time are also long gone. That business model was dropped when boards of directors, shareholders demanded per annum net profits.
And that means you can't make yearly profit increases if you only sell 1 widget to 1 family and it lasts forever. You have to keep them coming in the door. So you build a product at the lowest cost and designed to fail 15 minutes after the warranty is up.
Spending habits: vaush is correct and its important to understand that the rate of purchase is wildly different than it used to be.
Folks would do very well if they simply slowed down their rates of purchase.

Europeans used to think that extinction wasn't possible because God created all creatures and wouldn't allow such a thing to happen until the mid 1800s so I am not so sure about the assertion that viewing resources as infinite is necessarily a modern concept. It's probably worse today and we justify it in different ways, but the concept isint new.
I looked up the origin of the “You’ll own nothing, and be happy” catch phrase. It appears to have come from an essay by Danish politician Ida Auken, describing (but not necessarily advocating) a plausible near future in which business models such as renting or leasing appliances, and software as a service, prevail in a wider range of applications than today.
My impression is that the premise was customer preference prioritizing convenience. It would cater to people who want quick resumption of functionality without needing themselves to attend to repair, or different functionality for a given occasion - say, an off-road vehicle that’s rarely used - without being burdened with overhead.
The focus was on private enterprise, but of course there are already enterprises such as public transportation that make a wealth of infrastructure available that would not be very practical given the wasteful inefficiency of duplication without sharing it.

This is a silly thought I just had but someone should write a book about how the left would want things to be. It could be like a novel about people -perhaps teen to make it YA- having to rebuild after some post apocalyptic event like plague the right wing failed to deal with and through out the book the people who are trying to build something better than what came before take leftist ideas. You would have to cover the clear promotion of such ideas with a good story, characters and plot so it doesn't get itself banned in all the red states.
It sound silly I know but still I think done right it could be a fun and educational read. Also the rest of us could finally under stand what the he'll you political junkie leftists vision of this country is.

33:00 Hey, I'm a metallurgical engineer. What they meant by "we need coal for steelwork" is that you need Coal to make Coke (which in the end is a lot of Carbon concentrated) for mixing with Iron ore (usually in Blast Furnaces) to make "Pig Iron" (iron with a fuck-ton of carbon in it). Coke can also be made with oil or raw petroleum, but the more impure it is the more toxic shit gets into the atmosphere and the iron, so it is always preferable to just use Coal.
Other furnaces, like the Electric Arc Furnace, require coal for it to mix with the oxygen that forms the Iron Oxide and reduce it so we have Iron plus carbon dioxide as a gas. So yeah, coal is essential for modern steelwork.
This is why I'll never take out a loan. Except for my apartment, because I didn't fancy living at my parents until I was 60 to save up to one.

I’m the special case in which I only make purchases with my credit cards. I get at least 2% cash back all the time. Up to 4% on gas. Pay it all off because I only buy what I normally buy. Done this for 6 years. Never paid a penny of interest and gotten around 1-2k in cash back

28:43 This is very accurate. My family thinks like this. It's not even so much that they think fossil fuels are infinite as that they can't comprehend the idea that they aren't. They think there will always be another place we can mine for oil. Of course, they also think the world is 6000 years old, so that's probably a big part of the problem. But, so do a depressing lot of Americans.

The thing about overusage of resources being a modern thing is ridiculous. History is full of periods of collapse due to ecological catastrophies. The black death ironically saved Europe from starvation on a large scale, cause there was no space left anymore to farm.
"The idea that all resources are infinite is a modern thing."
On the contrary, it underpins John Locke's entire justification for the accumulation of private property. He recognized that it was immoral to inhibit the rights of others to claim property, but argued that it was impossible to do so through your own accumulation, cuz Infinite Bounty of Nature.

The height limit thing is similar over here in Munich. No new building shall be higher than the towers of the Frauenkirche (Translated "Lady's/women's church"), which is mainly there as to keep a view of the alps as well as some local landmarks of the city. A couple buildings before that was established are taller, such as the Olympiaturm in the Olympiapark (A green space that was formed over the top of the rubble pit that piled up as the WWII bombing damage was cleared, forming a distinct hill within the otherwise swampy plains that Munich was built on)

The best way to build a credit rating is to buy something via rent-to-own. Save up the entire amount, find an item you want and/or need and that isn't marked up too horribly, then start the process. Most rto operations don't initiate interest immediately, so you can pay off the item just before interest kicks in, so you only spend a little more than if you had just paid cash, and it gives you a start on having a credit rating without going into debt or being in a position to overspend easily like a credit card would.
Who's the current WEF title holder and are they going to be at the next cage match?
They teach stakeholder capitalism in business courses. The premise was society over all prospered under it to where as in stockholder capitalism only the top prospered and the worry was if they keep doing that type of capitalism then basically pitchforks.
I am not sure what Ben is worried about but stakeholder capitalism has simply turned largely into lip service to stakeholders while employees are bombarded with HR spam of, we are a great place to work.

Coal comes from the Carboniferous Era. This was when plants first evolved wood, and for a very long time, there wasn't anything that could EAT wood. So millions of years of trees dying, not rotting, and getting buried. Now that wood can rot, it can't stick around long enough to become coal.

33:48 it's not either. It's because it's on a marsh and the standards for buildings are that they cannot be built higher than a certain number of stories because they'll be inherently more heavy.
I don't understand the people who think gold will hold any value after an apocalyptic event. At that point I'm pretty sure gasoline, bullets, and drugs will be the currency of choice. Or bottle caps. Lots of bottle caps.
Vaush said that everything should he the height limit of DC, but what he fails to realise is that the height limit is determined by thr length of the street.
So in theory, you can have an infinitely long street, which allows an infinitely tall building.

Excellent point about neoliberal fora. They're talking shops. The problems they identify may be real; the solutions are irrelevant. _Any solutions are irrelevant._
Their job is to stall for time on behalf of the capitalist status quo. They do this by commissioning study after study until new problems can be formulated, then commission study after study on _those_ problems, and to repeat the cycle come what may.
If a study were used, or even could be used, to formulate actual working solutions, I think the fora would consider that study ill advised or ill drafted. Possibly Klaus Schwab would subject an attractive intern to death by gold-plating, and leave her body on display as a warning to others.
