I felt the same way as Mike Hill when he said the GG&G podcast helped him through the pandemic. Just knowing there were other sane/rational people out there, regardless of what they were discussing, was a great comfort. Here was another pandemic diversion…
I don’t know if I shared this before, but this is a YT channel from a guy who lived in the Soviet Union, where everyone lived in a centrally planned economy, had the same the same salary and eventually gave up on their ideology and elites that governed them.
They Steal Everything! 1980 Secret Report That Shocked the Soviet Government
Politburo Member #1: “We need to mobilize the masses to fight this shameful situation!”
Politburo Member #2: “If we are going to mobilize the masses, then the trains are going to arrive completely empty.”
The guy must have a thousand videos that give you vignettes of every aspect of Soviet society, from living through the Chernobyl disaster in Kiev, to doing the laundry. If one is interested in this it is a channel worth exploring. I felt like Dave Collum asking myself, “did this really happen”? It became an endless rabbit hole of wonder.
It is a light diversion, but I think it also gives one a lot of insight into human nature and the future life that Davos wants to foist on us all.
