Why we need Inequality: The Economic Fuel

Everyone keeps bragging about how “equal” society has supposedly become—more rights, more representation, fewer people starving in the streets. But strip away the marketing and what do you see? A society where most people have less leverage, less security, and less real prosperity than their grandparents. The middle class is a costume we’re all told to wear, but nobody can afford the price tag.

This video breaks down the uncomfortable reality: inequality isn’t an accident of the system—it is the system. Our economy pretends to reward hard work, but it really thrives on fear, instability, and desperation. When people feel secure, they negotiate. When they’re terrified, they obey. And nearly every institution profits from keeping people right on that edge.

From military recruitment spikes during recessions, to wages sinking when rent rises, to entire industries built on extracting value from people who can’t say no—our modern system is designed to funnel wealth upward while telling the rest of us to be grateful for the scraps.

But here’s the twist: there is a pressure point. A structural weak spot that the architects of this system don’t want you looking at—land. The value created by entire communities gets captured privately, while everyone else foots the bill. Fix that, and the gears that grind people down start seizing up.

This video walks through how the whole machine actually operates—and how changing the flow of land value could flip the script, choke off the incentives that fuel inequality, and finally let people stop being economic fuel and start steering the damn river.

If you’re tired of sugar-coated economics, empty political promises, and surface-level “progress,” this one’s going to hit you right in the assumptions.
