Late Stage Capitalism (corporatocracy) can only lead here

I know anytime someone posts a video where so much depth is covered... so many topics, that there's just simply no possible way someone agrees with everything being said. The way people are these days, we can hear 99% of what we like, but if we don't like 1%, we throw it all in the garbage and walk away with our hands over our ears. I do hope that people understand that we're all different people, and that there isn't anybody on this planet that you will agree about everything with. That's a pretty important thing too. The world would be boring otherwise, and we'd never challenge our current beliefs and evolve them and we would never grow as people.

So what is this video about?

There are a few examples in our collective human history of where complete oppression leads society. There has never however been one of these cases that also aligned with the complete collapse of our natural environment. We must all collectively understand lessons from the past, so that we can see where it's taking us. This lets us plan. Not only how to best survive this future, but on how we can fight back.
