Yeah just like the "bank run" on FTX wasn't what caused it to go bankrupt, it was actually the owner's hubris.

In much the same way that the fire didn't burn the house down, it was the tenant buying matches four days earlier.

If you're willing to go that many levels down to get to the root cause of an event you might as well say the nazis being humans is what caused the collapse.

Well for one, most of the nazis stayed behind.

And just like that we're now all focused on the couple of (quite frankly) idiots that are burning consumers' Teslas instead of the unsold ones at dealerships. Again. Just like every discussion of a protest is not about the tens of thousands of people protesting but about the 10 people looting.

Looks like the attempt to control the narrative is working as expected.

People not realising this is what's so baffling.

Narrator: The left did not, in fact, get everyone’s basic needs met because it hasn't been in power for nearly half a century. And incidentally, every time it was represented in government there were major strides in "getting everyone's needs met".

Don't believe me? Do a Google search for "most liberal/leftist US presidents", click any of these listicles and try to find the most recent leftist president. Notice how there isn't a single one more recent than 1969?

For most of you reading this, the last actual leftist government predates your parents' birth.
