    5778 Why People Obsess Over Politics!
    In this follow up to a question asked in a livestream, I investigate why politics stirs such deep emotional responses, likening it to religious fervor. By contrasting those thriving in the voluntary market with individuals reliant on government funding, I reveal how these differing perspectives shape political identities. Drawing from my experiences in the Department of Education, I underscore how government roles can foster complacency and detachment from accountability, contrasting with the urgency found in the private sector.

    I address the generational conflict where older individuals often prioritize their comfort, risking the future of younger generations. Ultimately, I urge listeners to reflect on their political engagements, advocating for discussions that encourage cooperation over dependency on government support.

    5775 Kropotkin's Critique of Capitalism! Part 2
    This lecture delves into the concept of wage slavery through Kropotkin's critiques of capitalism and socialism.
