The next video is about why I think capitalism has died, and it's packed full of 40 minutes of receipts ranging from philosophical definitions, historical timelines, animated explainers of economic principles, and an (at times) deep analysis of what happened between 2008-2025. If I've done my job right, it'll help nearly all of my viewers make more practical sense of what is happening now. Behind the scenes, this was initially going to be a book I wanted to write during the weird US market behavior during COVID, but since I'm (obviously) not an author, it was too difficult to really explain in a cohesive way without visual and audible elements to try and wrap things up properly. I started the video script in October, but so many odd things happened between then and January, I once again started over as I felt like this was more important and less conspiratorial than I once believed. As for fact-checking, filming, and editing, today marks 3 straight weeks of 14 hour days, 6 days a week. I hope to have it finally done in the next few days, and premiering on Sunday morning. I just wanted to thank everyone for making this type of content a reality, as putting this much time into research and content like this would be utterly impossible without this Patreon. Finally, since a lot of this video is about politicized information, I'm in the late-stage process of negotiating another sponsorship with Ground News, all of which will go to Unicef Ukraine (or another humanitarian organization related to Ukrainian citizens and children if a better one exists by the time I receive the payment). I think it's possible, with a lot of work and a bit of algorithm luck, that I can push past $100k in relief funds from organic video sponsorships by 2026. That being said, they are CPM-based sponsors. While I have personally used Ground News long before I worked with them for the channel/fundraising, please do not sign up in support of me or this channel if you have no interest in the product as we don't get paid per sign-up or anything like that. Anyway. I just wanted to say thank you and let you know that your support here is huge. 💗
