Is this what libertarians mean by "basic economics". Step aside, Marx, this :galaxy-brain: channel will blow you out of the water!

    If you think that's bad, they have a video called "Is wealth inequality actually a problem?"

    And the fact that it isn't just a two second long video saying "yes" should tell you everything

      It's a predictably dumb video. Basically just tries to make the point that you need inequality to drive innovation and progress and that it's better to have a society of great inequality where even the poor have relatively high living standards than a society where everyone is living in a cave in equal conditions. At least one of the top comments rips on it for not talking about the power imbalance it creates, especially in a supposed democracy where everyone is theoretically supposed to have an equal voice.
