This particular clip of Asmongold talking about why some people dislike a guy on YouTube who helps people with their financial problems resonated with me because it echoes exactly what I believe:
We are broke because we want instant gratification and lack control over finances. We are a fat society because we lack self control and want instant gratification from unhealthy food. We are morally bankrupt because we lack self control and favor what feels good right now. If only there was a common denominator to help us figure this out.
Money discipline is completely lacking in our culture and education system. But I will agree that key things for life have gotten far too expensive. The brainwashing to 'buy this', the crush of inflation, the loss of jobs and downward wages, and the new brainwashing that all of this should be paid for by the government, all appears to originate from the same corporate oligarchy.
