• How everything became hyper-politicized in the lead up to the 2016 election of Donald Trump

• My political awakening during the 2008/2009 global financial collapse

• How governments are the real enemy of the average person because they are utterly corrupt and controlled by corporations for the benefit of the rich and powerful, as well as special interest groups, rather than normal people

•  The reasons why the ever-increasing growth of government and consolidation of power is bad for society

• Regulatory capture and the revolving door between government and the corporations and industries they are supposed to regulate

• How governments use propaganda to manipulate their populations to believe certain narratives and act in ways that are beneficial to those in power rather than in their own interests

• Naive utopian idealism vs understanding human nature, the history of our species, and political and economic systems

• How the current far-left political activism in Western nations mirrors the cultural revolution in communist China, which led to the murder of millions of people

• How ideology is like a mind virus that parasitizes people and how it's actually the ideas that have people rather than people having the ideas

• How Marxism and Communism has shifted its ideology from primarily economic and class issues to critiques around identity politics

• The necessity of unplugging from the news, social media, and being online in order to take care of yourself

• How the powerful always go after the intellectuals and dissidents who try to warn everyone what's going on, what those in power are actually doing vs what they lead you to believe with their propaganda, and where it's headed
