interesting vid, wonder if anything's changed in the last 18 months, and if there's any worthwhile left criticism of this perspective

    Yeah, I was re-reading the comment and realized it comes off as pro-market by the end although I think they're just a bad writer. Them mentioning the rentier class and "the private sector does everything better" puts them definitely DemSoc and left, I think.

    Overall it made me skeptical of the guy in the video's presentation though. Shoulda' knew the EU would be a major problem like this. Thanks for the response.

      yeah I'm skeptical of the guy as well (see my other top level comment). He's definitely a liberal, not even a demsoc or anything, though he does see some of the reality of the sheer effectiveness of central planning. He covers the topics pretty well but its a bit weird that as a medical doctor he has this whole side biz as a pro-nuclear podcaster, and some of his guests are straight up right wing while others definitely seem to lean left
