The Labour government refuse to acknowledge and deal with the rising tide of inequality in the UK. Will this doom them to fail, or can we get through to them?

Appreciate the sources. I watched the first two and honestly… my opinion hasn’t really changed. It’s people who can’t see the forest for the trees. I think he’s doing a good thing, I agree with his message. I think if wealth was taxed more heavily and billionaires didn’t exist the world would be so much better.
I agree with his message too for the most part, and fully with you on your last statement. I just don’t think watching Gary and subscribing to his patreon and all that is the right step in making a change. Especially because for some people he might be dissuading from actually delving into the topic deeper or seeking other sources of information and ways to better the situation. When he says stuff along the lines of ‘All graphs are bullshit.’, ‘I know how the sausage is made, all economists are incompetent/liars.’, ‘There’s gonna be total collapse unless you listen to me specifically.’ might end up being harmful in the long run unfortunately. I feel like actual research groups, NGOs and activist groups probably have a lot better chance at influencing policies on this issue than an youtube personality. And if getting a ton of subscribers really was equal to political change, we’s already be fucked, because a ton of people who want the opposite or way worse have heaps more followers than Gary ever will.
