Here’s HOW they do it and WHY you should care @NaomiBrockwellTV has a popular YouTube channel where she points out that the government constantly spies on us, using data that apps collect via our phones. But these apps “make my life easier,” I push back,“Convenience matters!” “But privacy is important,” explains Brockwell. "The government is purchasing all this data about us. They’re creating records about all of us, and that's a really scary thing.” "That data is forever … You have no control over what societal norms might change in the next 10 years and that data suddenly becomes incriminating. You're basically making a bet that you and the people with the guns will always stay on good terms.” In my video above, she explains why that’s not a good bet to make. . ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ————   https://youtu.be/rVsKWQp-sq4?si=5KWca35e1w7NCp8G Capitalism and Loneliness: What The Media Get WRONG John Stossel 893K subscribers 132,003 views Nov 28, 2023 Scaremongers tell us: capitalism makes us "feel lonely" and "empty inside." But Johan Norberg’s new book, The Capitalist Manifesto, points out the many ways capitalism makes life better, including making people LESS lonely. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscrib ———— "Every poll we're looking at shows that people say that they’re less lonely in the most market-oriented societies,” Norberg tells me. The Human Freedom Index ranks countries according to how free, and market-oriented they are. Not only are people less lonely in capitalist countries, but Norberg points out that "if you increase freedom by one point, you reduce loneliness levels by six percentage points.” But I tell Norberg, "Under capitalism, people compete. Sounds divisive. Sounds like it would pull us apart.” "Feudalism, communism, fascism... that’s divisive. That’s all based on getting resources by taking them from somebody else. What capitalism does is that it forces us to think, 'what does the other guy want?'” says Norberg. That’s because, under capitalism, to sell someone something, you have to please them.

What did she believe that was so terrible? Well, she’s a right-leaning libertarian. At NYU, that’s scary, she says. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— “I was afraid to have Thomas Sowell books on my bookshelf,” says Schlott. She kept her mouth shut and eventually dropped out of NYU because she found it stifling. But now, Schlott is fighting back. Her new book Cancelling of the American Mind, details how cancel culture crushes people who think differently. “We need to come together and actually fight back.” Schlott tells me, “We want to live in a free speech culture and not a cancel culture.” Watch the video to learn more about Rikki Schott’s fight.   https://youtu.be/es614SrcbhI?si=IPpy2klP3cEx
