      they talk about increasing productivity, but for works that requires physical labour, productivity hasn’t increased that much, right? For example, sectors like health care are going to have similar levels of productivity unless something drastic happens in research into autonomous healthcare. So if you have more people who need health care than people who can support them, how are you going to solve that with productivity/redistribution?

    2. Kurzgesagt: Puts 1000s of Person-Hours into researching and producing a video, adds a 70 pages long list of sources, context and explanation why they did some of the statements.

      That other youtuber: Nah, I don’t feel it

      three arrows ist absolut großartig.

      ich finde es echt traurig, dass das erste Q&A nicht mehr online ist. seine position zur eisernen front 🇩🇪↙️↙️↙️ hätte mich sehr interessiert. er hat mal erwähnt, dass er den namen nicht bewusst mit dem bezug gewählt hat, hat aber sonst nicht viel dazu gesagt.

      Yeah, I had the exact same problem with the kurzgesagt video. Was downvoted when I talked about it on /r/de. There bots have successfully distracted from the fight against the rich, to the fight against old people, within the last year or so. Which is something the kurzgesagt video is also part of. Since kurzgesagt is financed by millionaires and billionaires, I don’t think that’s a coincidence…

    5. While Three Arrows is correct in what the actual problems to be solved are, these wealth-distribution problems already existed 50 years ago (honestly they always existed and still exist everywhere around the world). There are always rich and poor people – and the rich ones enjoy their lives and have influence.

      The demographic shift, like Kurzgesagt said, is still the actual cause of the problem we have today, since the system was solely relying on the generational contract. And the fix to the problem is not to increase taxes, either for rich or poor.

      What hurts is, that the politicians are trying to solve it by taxing the poor even more…

      With his overall proposition being to directly tax wealth, I don’t understand why he hesitates to spell it out. Feels a bit chickenshit

      It’s fair to say that Kurzgesagt doesn’t exhaustively explore the options out of the crisis before suggesting austerity, but it’s dishonest to claim that the original video’s framing tries to pass the problem off as „mathematical rather than political“ when it explicitly frames the generational conflict as political with specific electoral dynamics

      It feels as if his main complaint is that the original video didn’t pay enough attention to discussing his preferred policy proposal, which they obviously did because of their conservative political biases
