Why You'll Never Achieve The American Dream

Great Video We have created a similar Video 🙌

those r crazy statistics. who the hell do u know is making 100,000+ ? esp in their early 20s to late 30s, which is when most ppl raise their family!

The American Dream was built only for WHITE people. Now that it’s unlikely… ok now it’s dead? You can’t be serious.

it was called american dream, because you need to be asleep to believe in it - george carlin

There’s another factor to bring up.

Our economy is centered around the idea of Constant Production for the Sake of Production. Or in other words, we must constantly produce goods regardless of whether there’s any actual need for them or any benefit in manufacturing them. Take clothing, for example, where even though we’ve produced enough clothes so that every person on this planet can wear a new outfit every hour until they die without ever wearing the same item of clothing twice, our economy still insists that we must keep the factories running, keep making more and more clothes even though most of them will never be worn and will just rot. But we simply can’t say “Okay, we’ve made enough clothes. How about we have the workers do something else?

And of course, this constant production demands the constant consumption of resources and here’s where we hit a major problem for capitalism. Basic common sense says that just as if you constantly consume chocolate cake, you will eventually run out of chocolate cake, if you constantly devour resources, you’re going to eventually run out of resources.

Y’see, the problem facing capitalism, paradoxically, is that it won. It effectively took over the world.

The reason Capitalism managed to keep going was until recently, there were always new lands to expand to with new resources to exploit. Use up Europe? Go burn your way through the New World. Go devour Africa and Asia and any other places you can find.

But Capitalism won. Capitalism has taken over the world, and there are no new lands for it to devour. As a result, it is hitting the natural wall that it managed to delude itself into believing didn’t exist. Right now, Capitalism is staying in the game by cannibalizing itself, but there’s an obvious flaw in that strategy and they know it.

It is a very easy fix. Tax the profits and redistribute it. But for whatever reason, the people who stand to benefit the most from this are against it.

can you do a video about the hesitations that people would have upon listening to socialist ideas? "Why rock the boat? The status quo is best", "Socialism is a pipe dream".

some of your other videos, i stopped watching because they seemed too "extreme", by which i mean they said things -- angrily, using emotion to rile the viewer up -- that seemed to be false to me but gave no explanation about why the idea is true.

(one example is a video that said that managers and CEOs bring no value, and i'm thinking "of course they do -- we need managers"; and you said this idea in a way that seemed to try to divide and drive anger, in an "us vs them" way. i /hate/ this strategy. i hate it when politicians use it, for example; i feel manipulated.)

in contrast, this video i watched to the end, because it (un-angrily) laid out basis of facts for me to think about. that is, the socialist ideas were well-supported.

i think what i'm trying to say is: a) i really appreciate videos that lay out its ideas less angrily, and more factually, otherwise i feel manipulated and will tune out, and b) i want more videos that meet viewers like me halfway: viewers who AREN'T convinced about socialism. this will require identifying and addressing (in a NOT snarky way) our very real hesitations that we have when hearing socialist messages.

Whats crazy is that people dont believe me when I tell them I also work for usps, and still don't make enough. 😂

Thank you, this is why I’ve been telling people. We have to take things into our own hands. Our ancestors fought and died for their families and the greater good and we can’t get our stuff together? We literally have AI super gods in our phone to help us, so we can work on the things you mentioned at the end.

A slightly different story, but I have been fed up with the healthcare system not helping or researching my rare condition as well as many others. So now I am starting my own research organization from scratch and I could use some help if anyone is interested. Advice is welcome as well.

That's okay, I don't want 2.5 kids

How can older people be so complacent? How are we all so complicit in letting corporation and rich elite rob us of our humanity? Revolution starts in our mind and then to our family then take it to the world. Take the land back. Stand with people not the system. We can make up a new system!

You put a lot of the problems we have now on Ronald Regan which is well deserved but no president has done more harm to the country in the past 60 years than Lyndon Johnson. The 1965 Immigration Act was the final nail in the coffin for the American Dream.

Excellent video. I knew the American was a lie by the time y was 19! I am now 61 and I have not changed my opinion in over 4 decades!!

I had the very unfortunate experience of Reagan being the president during my college years. His Garbage Neo Liberal Economic Policies are haunting me and the rest of the country to this DAY!!!!!!

The American dream has turned into a nightmare

Very well said, capitalism at it's extreme is what it is, in other words modern slavery

Go ahead and say it doc, NAFTA has destroyed America.

We may have got things somewhere right in the EU. That's why the American 1% don't like us and are trying to destroy us. We are too socialistic.

Well this was depressing. 🥺

Today's American dream is leave America!

The elephant in the room: Corporations not paying their fair share of taxes and a fair wage.

Look at his structure never work a day in his life and knows nothing of real industry. Do not listen to a a man of corruption

Yepp it’s not Biden economics just our 200yrs of our imperial capitalism. Totally agree lol what a clown

Hello, comrade, from Ukrainian worker in Germany.
Your video is super! Thank you very much!

bro i wanted to see 21 savage

Things that changed:
1. Bills; phone, cable, internet (some people didn’t have phones in 1940)
2. Cars; not everybody had a car. Many families had only one. Add insurance, tax, inspections, registration, regular maintenance, gas/oil, tires/wipers. One car payment today can be multiple times more than a mortgage payment back in the 1940s.
3. Food; there are millions of products on the market today. Convenience drives people to buy quick and unhealthy foods. In the 40s, there were fewer products and food was whole, basic, needing preparation and cooking. It was cheaper and healthier.

Call it what it really is: the American NIGHTMARE! And the only way to come out of it is to wake up, not make a new dream but a new conscious Reality!

Video of the year for me. Thanks learned a LOT. Not an American but I can feel it. Tnx.

The American dream is dead

The world isn't asleep. The more remote the poor nation is from the U.S. the weaker the facts of actually living in the U.S.

It's globalized and possibly stronger outside of the U.S. in places like the Philippines.

The death of the American Dream has come at the hand of the Democrat Party and their "Woke" ideals. And it's the American people's fault for falling for those Democrat ideals.

am i the only one who would hate that kind of life anyway? maybe it's because i live and grew up in england, but a cute cottage in the woods in a northern part of the country is much more my speed, if i were to ever live in that kind of place. somewhere far from people, that isn't part of some cookie-cutter existence where every family along my street is living in the same house

Don't try to become a labour instead try to become a businessman

i blame the citizens they to busy watching porn and hulk hogan

LOVED this! Thank you so much for posting this!

❤❤❤❤❤

The fact that I hear the enemy is speaking about condition the we are leaving in and he saying that the greatest enemy is becoming fascist
It's making me think that this earth will last for another 100 year if we lucky

Instead of pursuing the "American Dream," I wish more people would focus on creating and chasing their own dreams.

Communism doesn't work and capitalism doesn't work or both forms end up with an elite oligarchy so unless they donate their wealth I'm afraid the answer is to call the herd and maybe future Generations will be more generous there's no rule or law or system you can put in place to keep jerks from being jerks

This is what they teach in schools? 🤣

It started by ending the gold standard. Making money worthless. Unyielding inflation by modern govt has destroyed pricing power of the middle class. It’s that simple.

Anti-natalists are having fun right now. I wish to be one as well.

Me watching this while not living in the US...
