Let me say right off the bat that the man in this video is a libertarian crank at the best of times and possibly pretty problematic on a lot social stuff. I just found his channel when searching woodworking content and got big chud energy. So I when I saw the title of this vid I was expecting a man bitching about socialism into a camera for 15min but was actually surprised. His sentiments actually echo a sentiment I've heard from other blue collar coworkers of certain age: those that have been the most “useful idiots” of capital for the last 30 years are seeing how it does not have their back as they get toward the last decade or so of working years. What might be obvious to a lot of you on this sub about the exploitative nature of work is maybe starting to dawn on the 45+ demographic. The ownership class has been successful in using rait-baiting, class resentment, and appeals to patriotism to keep gen-x shit-kickers distracted or angry at the wrong target for a long time. I'm probably naïve but hopefully more of them will start to question the Mike Rowe hokum about keeping their head down and griding and get angry at the actual entities that stole their adulthood in exchange for credit card debt, truck payments, and a bad back. https://youtu.be/NtEuAWBLfOE
