I've heard it's worth your time, I have not read it but it looks pretty good.
4
Some nice artwork on there.
5
Check it out.
6
That's it, no more.
7
All right so we need to talk about Gary Stevenson, Gary's economics.
8
He's quit!
9
rejoice everyone he's quit after getting bodied for his documentary he's quit
10
or has he or has he
11
or has he he hasn't oh oh yeah okay yeah i've
12
spoiled i've spoiled it spoiled the end of my segment at
13
the start he's not actually quit my disappointment is immeasurable
14
and my day is ruined i don't care we thought we we thought we'd got rid of gal
15
but he's come back Yeah, so this big quite interesting turn of events really.
16
So yeah, so you said has he done a documentary?
17
Yes, he did a documentary
18
He did a documentary
19
and it was one of the most embarrassing things He's probably ever done in his entire career
20
and seemingly off the back of that.
21
He has now just quit.
22
What's the documentary about?
23
Resent resentfulness jealousy tax the rich Leftist economics economic theory.
24
Yeah, but I didn't watch it but what i gathered wasn't it
25
that even other lefties were saying bro you don't you're all kinds of wrong is that where
26
that clip of him talking about the wealth tax comes from i know he's always talking about wealth tax
27
but yes that is part of it yeah
28
and other leftoids were like what are you talking about mate he's getting bodied by even his own side
29
so it's been very funny
30
so i just i just want to go through it basically um
31
so this was his goodbye video part of it anyway posted this on uh the uh the twitter sphere
32
so we'll just play a little bit of this
33
here we go so i just i want to point
34
that out straight away i think he's put them there on camera right the biscuits
35
because he's getting told there's numerous comments about the biscuits clearly just being part of a set right
36
and i don't think i've ever seen him put biscuits on a plate before all right
37
so i just thought i'd say that from the off because i thought that was quite funny But anyway, here's his shifty, crackhead visage.
38
All right, ladies and gentlemen, this is it.
39
Last one ever.
40
Yeah, it's not, though, is it, mate? Is it definitely not?
41
No, it's definitely not.
42
Okay, right.
43
I think if there were comments about the biscuits, to really prove them wrong, he should have just...
44
Chad moved on the entire video eating the biscuits with a mouth full of biscuits, like spitting them out at the camera as he's talking.
45
Yeah.
46
Can I say I think one of the lamest things you can do is threaten to walk out
47
and leave the room and not.
48
Well, we're going to get to that.
49
I think that's so lame to do that.
50
Yeah.
51
I'd be ashamed to do that.
52
If you're going to walk out and leave one way or another, do it, though.
53
You're going to think he's very lame, then.
54
Okay.
55
From the end of this video, you're going to think he's very lame.
56
So let's just watch a bit of this video from...
57
Yeah, this should be a good starting point.
58
And I knew I was knackered.
59
And I remember going, I remember going onto Piers Morgan with my channel 4PR.
60
So how'd you feel about it?
61
And I was like, I feel like I'm going into the lion's den with two fucking broken legs.
62
You know, because I knew, I knew they were just going to come for me.
63
And, you know, the media has come for me a lot.
64
And it's one thing, I went on Piers Morgan last year.
65
If I can be honest, I think I can't fucking dance around him, to be honest.
66
And I just went back in as like the world's knackidest man.
67
I remember when I did BBC News, no, yeah he's really tired isn't he really tight he's just
68
the world's most tiredest person i'm tired i'm there i'm just i'm exhausted he must he's
69
so tired this guy they're like do you want to do makeup
70
and i said to be honest i want to look as
71
knackered as i am i don't want oh weird things i
72
want to look as tired as i am why are you
73
so tired gary what's wrong with his what is his physicality
74
what is it you know his jaw looks all wired like he's on coke
75
or something recovering addict is the image the aesthetic
76
that he gives yeah all right anyway we'll watch a little bit more
77
because it's genuinely fascinating i've been pretending to not be knackered
78
and um i went out
79
and did the press campaign really really really we landed it um we've got a lot of use um
80
but it's kind of been I've been looking I've been today I'm shooting this on 4th of July
81
and I've been counting down the days I've known
82
that this was going to be my last day shooting YouTube
83
and I've been counting down the days to it for ages basically um
84
and basically the long story short is I'm knackered
85
and um I've given right
86
so anyway this is a 48 minute video here's a quick summary of it all
87
because no one wants to watch 48 minutes of this
88
this genic telling you how tired he is
89
and I did actually watch this it is one of the most boring videos I've ever seen
90
so I am saving you a lot of time he starts out sort of chronicling his journey
91
and persistently saying how much you know he's there for people, he's there for this he's there and you know, he just wants to tax people because that's his thing but anyway,
92
so summary of the video uh gary's not quitting youtube forever
93
okay all right he's not he's not um all he's doing is ending one weekly video
94
so he's so tired because he's been doing one weekly video just just to throw
95
that out there i'm gonna take more time away with his family yeah no yeah
96
that is that is yeah He does want to take a long break, about nine months.
97
He's got severe burnout, apparently, producing one video a week entirely on his own.
98
It isn't on his own.
99
He has a whole team, which we'll get to in a minute.
100
Alongside a best-selling book campaign and a global press tour and TV documentary has left him very tired, apparently.
101
He also has format fatigue.
102
He feels the weekly format has gotten too scripted and rigid.
103
He's sick of the Gary Stevenson show i mean it's literally
104
called gary's economics okay okay oh he wants to shift to podcasts
105
is this not a podcast i don't i don't i mean
106
what what is the format what's the production like have you seen any of the other stuff
107
because i it's the this i've not watched now it's this what what are the subjects that he normally talks about
108
other than just being tired tax the rich that's it does
109
he go into any greater depth about like here's how the rich are able to get away with tax scams
110
and stuff like that no he just tells everyone how rich he is
111
and he made his money betting on poor people and
112
that they'd get poorer and he's amazing and he's an economist
113
and we need to tax the rich that's it this is
114
the format he just sits at this this is it this
115
is what he's tired of sitting at sitting at a table being filmed looks really hard really hard work
116
that does look i could see how that would be exhausting yeah yeah
117
anyway so he wants to shift it's mental isn't it it's quite insane it is quite insane
118
so he wants to shift to podcasts collaborative formats possibly a monthly video later on um
119
yeah that's kind of it really and that's his thing anyways a little bit more of his tour
120
explaining to people why he's quitting i am quitting yeah i am quitting quitting public conversation yeah i am yeah
121
because i'm tired paddy i'm tired i've been doing this for
122
years you know i'm tired of betting on people's living standards collapsing
123
and trying to tell people every year and getting called a liar by liars
124
and getting called an idiot by idiots it's tiring paddy you
125
know i don't need to do this right i do this
126
because i don't want this country to go down the toilet i see what's happening i want
127
when i come in here i want people to understand this
128
will get much worse this living standard collapse will get much worse i'm not just saying
129
that i've been betting on it for 15 years i've made
130
millions of pounds doing it you cannot allow a situation where the british
131
and it's not just happening here it's happening across the western world where the working class
132
and the middle class
133
and the government all very rapidly lose all of their wealth to one percent of people
134
because again so he is right in suggesting
135
that living standards are going to get worse right like um
136
if you want to watch uh a video on it dan
137
dan of this channel uh has a brokonomics on it right like he he is right in suggesting
138
that living standards are going to get worse he is right in suggesting
139
that uh wealth inequality is going to get worse
140
but his his his format for solving it is wrong his reason his identifying reason behind it is wrong
141
but he's right in suggesting that it is going to get worse
142
because it is going to get worse but again he's just a moron doesn't quite understand it
143
uh but he's just tired and he's just super tired
144
so it's not
145
that tiring at all to make a little bit of content
146
it's really not especially the amount he makes i mean our
147
grind you me our grind is way more than this the
148
content meal at lotus is way more than what he does way more it's not trust me it's not that time
149
when you've done a real job a real nine to five eight till six real job yep it's not
150
that tiring it really isn't and and if you're gonna leave just leave bro
151
just leave you don't have to announce it you can you
152
can just stop he's doing a pity party yeah yeah it's a pity tour
153
so come come and pity me please um
154
and yeah you're right you know doing the kind of work
155
which we do yeah it's not actually
156
that tiring to be honest you know it has its own trials
157
and tribulations don't get me wrong but it's not tiring compared scheme of things particularly
158
if he used to work in um whatever i can't remember
159
what he did do trading trading city bank trade now
160
that is i can understand that if you did
161
that into your 40s or something you could claim burnout maybe
162
if you carried a hod around you lugged bricks around for a living yeah okay real burnout yeah
163
but making a few videos no no i don't i don't
164
buy it oh he's tired mate okay all right he's sick
165
of it he's tired he doesn't need to do he's made his millions super super tired yeah um um anyway
166
so i thought what we'd do is just take a look at sort of the state of play
167
that gary has crafted for himself as he leaves right
168
so this was one year ago um i think we've got
169
the exact date here as well sorry it was oh i had it up it basically uh just click on
170
that just click on the description the actual date will show
171
up it says one year ago there's one year ago click on it 29th of december 29th december 2024
172
so i want to i want to just play this because he's he's he's a crafty little bugger
173
he's gary's economics so remember he said it's all him he's just doing it all by himself We contradicts himself numerous times, so this was in December.
174
If we are going to be politically powerful, we need staff and I need staff.
175
I just don't think there's any way
176
that I can cope with making it significantly bigger than it is without any full-time staff, basically.
177
And that means we are going to need funding and that means that we are going to open a Patreon.
178
I spoke about it just before I went away.
179
We're going to open a Patreon and we're going to see what we get
180
and you know i don't know whether we'll get a lot i don't know whether we'll get a little but
181
if we want to be politically powerful down the line we we're going to need staff
182
and if we need stuff
183
if we need stuff we're going to need funding just help support me
184
and help us to to get a little bit more ambitious and
185
and diverse with the creativity of what we do help us
186
to work with different creatives help us to get different people on the channel
187
so it's not just like me every week in my no face ID.
188
So okay Patreon that's fine you know make your bread like
189
I've got no qualms about people getting Patreons setting it all up the terms of what she outlined
190
you know for the purposes of the Patreon was to improve the content wasn't it
191
Shall we have a look how that's gone?
192
Look at that pitch oh my god!
193
Shall we have a look at how that how
194
that has gone okay
195
so yeah yeah not not not a lot oh not a
196
lot has changed he did go on some some holidays day signing off that was a year ago
197
yeah you're saying there's no obvious change in the quality of
198
the oh no he's didn't no he's done nothing all right
199
okay he's done absolutely nothing at all literally nothing look at it
200
just to see oh we're back oh he's back oh because he took another break by the way
201
because he keeps taking breaks just as an fyi keeps taking breaks keeps coming back
202
but so this was that year ago here's what we're going to do
203
and he's going to open a patreon
204
and literally i mean less than a year out he took another break
205
and was like oh i'm back goodbye for now
206
right okay cool interesting
207
but remember he wanted he wanted your money to um improve
208
content didn't he wanted he wanted your money to uh to get people on get a team
209
so one it's not just himself he definitely has a team
210
which we know he does anyway because he's admitted to having a team before
211
so him saying he's tired of sitting down and being filmed is a bit of an odd one anyway
212
gary's taking a break what's next for patreon well what is
213
next for patreon what is next for patreon hi oscar here oh
214
so he's not alone then there's someone at least called oscar working with him uh
215
and oh is gary's gonna send you a message he's probably
216
not it's gonna be oscar i would presume what we're what we're gonna do
217
while gary's away oh so gary's literally just swanning off
218
just doing nothing right okay brilliant we're gonna start doing live
219
patron q a's again brilliant right your donations will keep the youtube channel publishing new content
220
oh right
221
so he's not quit he's not quit actually at all he's
222
just again he has just quit doing a weekly video
223
which he's tired of um oh we got funding from a big donor
224
amazing brilliant 16 new animated videos explaining gary's ideas of
225
dysgenic resentfulness brilliant can't wait to be lectured in animated format on rich being rich
226
and apparently there being a finite amount of wealth in the
227
world gary's ideas of a misplaced first year undergrad student politic pinko social champagne socialism can't wait for that
228
yeah 16 animated videos of that yeah wait yeah so in
229
that year by the way in
230
that year uh it was it was 2024 wasn't it right um
231
so he's been earning quite a good cross from patreon um at bare minimum at bare minimum
232
and that's if every single one of his 2000 plus members
233
were paying the lowest tier of his patreon he is earning just shy of 13 grand a month
234
i mean it's good man
235
if you can get it it's not too shabby yeah doing
236
one video a week good luck to him well he's tired
237
of it guys i'd say good luck to him you know
238
if you can get your money i'm i'm happy for people
239
to i'm not i'm not the one crying out for a wealth tax he is right He's already rich,
240
so if you could make an excuse for yourself to take nine months off so that you could go to, like, I don't know, the Costa Rica or something.
241
I know.
242
I mean, you would.
243
Come on.
244
I mean, if I could earn that money per month I would but I also wouldn't be crying about wealth tax.
245
Maybe you should start making economics videos.
246
I should shouldn't I yeah.
247
Don't tax the rich.
248
Give me all your money.
249
Don't eat the rich.
250
Oh literally upwards of three hundred thousand pound a year he's earning basically.
251
If you're taking it all into account like the sort of
252
well the video made it sound as though he's using the
253
patreon money to pay his staff members no no like he
254
said it's all by himself though like oscar here he might
255
be on 13 grand a month you never know he might
256
be the only staff member might all be going to him i mean maybe in
257
which case gary are you are you taking applications for new
258
assistants well no there's an animator like alex check check here all right that's still about six
259
and a half grand a month so you know sequo split between two people maybe
260
but remember he said it's just all himself in it unless oscar
261
and alex are different personalities maybe maybe how do we know
262
how many are living up there maybe it's all gary it's
263
all gary you're gary i'm not gary anyway i'm gary and so is my wife So why did he actually quit?
264
Well, he quit because of stuff like this.
265
And remember, he's quit a lot.
266
He's quit many times.
267
But why did he quit?
268
He quit because of this.
269
Sorry, I know it was a long clip, but I had to play it.
270
Because that is part of his documentary. And he's getting...
271
And that's someone on side.
272
That's someone that is actually on his side.
273
I was going to ask who this bald guy is.
274
Because also, like, everybody says that Gary Economics looks a bit weird.
275
This guy also has an incredibly off-putting face. and mannerisms
276
but he seems like a twat as well frankly it's a
277
really really simple thing i mean sort of a gcse
278
or a level thing in economics of uh the flight of investment
279
if you overtax people it's it's really really sort of 101
280
stuff we've already seen it now the figures have come out to say
281
that like we've got some of the lowest millionaires we've ever had in this country now they're all just gone
282
if you've got a lot a lot of money to invest in something
283
and you can do it anywhere in the world yeah why
284
would you do it somewhere where they're going to tax you you just simply don't pick
285
that place yeah it's it's very very straightforward stuff
286
but i mean gary doesn't seem to it really is the
287
politics of resentment isn't it it really really is the politics
288
of you were told at some point in your formative years
289
that it's just simply not fair
290
that there are ultra rich people in the world the wealth is a finite thing
291
and the more that's in their pocket is the less that's in the pocket of poor people
292
and you just never questioned that profoundly you never changed your view on
293
that and that you must simply steal from the rich to give to the poor
294
and well it's just not how the world really works how
295
the world goes round it's not really how the distribution of wealth works
296
but okay okay gary's got his 1.6 million
297
and uh 13 grand a month on patreon well what can
298
you say good luck to him there's a lot of stupid
299
stupid people in the world he's not actually quit okay that's
300
the take home from this he's not actually quit it's just got burnout this is all performative nonsense
301
well i mean one of my issues with uh what gary
302
economics was talking about what gary was talking about in in
303
that there with the whole wealth tax thing was
304
that yeah i mean for one the
305
that dan guy um the other weirdo uh just saying like oh you can't do this tax
306
because it'll take a
307
while to do isn't that's not really an argument the much stronger argument was the one on foreign investment
308
but i've i noticed when you were looking through his uh youtube page that he's spoken to an economist called Hajoon Chang,
309
who I've read some of his work and it's actually quite interesting because Hajoon Chang is a progressive, but he's also kind of like a realist as well.
310
And he's got some arguments against things like foreign investment, where he's saying that, you know, if you have foreign investment,
311
most of the time it's going to take the platform of like transnational corporation coming into your country, potentially siphoning itself away from all of the rest of the economy.
312
So it's mainly just taking up land and labor
313
and the rest of the money that they're making isn't going back into the rest of it.
314
It can take away opportunities from local business owners or just drive them out.
315
There are actually some interesting and effective arguments against it, but Hajoon Chang keeps like running up against the idea of protectionism.
316
And essentially the logic of it ends up with, well, you need to be a protectionist country in that case
317
and have strong tariffs to be able to protect against foreign encroachment into the economy.
318
Like Gary Economics and even Chang himself, they're not actually going to push for that
319
because ultimately they are still a form of globalist progressive type
320
and if you have protectionism then you can't justify massive flows of people between countries as well
321
because ultimately the logic that they're pushing is contradictory internally
322
so that's that's one of that's one of my issues is just
323
that like if you're gonna
324
if you're gonna make those arguments just go all the way
325
just be like yeah the the UK should close its borders physically
326
and economically and we should take another 50 years to be able to build ourselves back as a self-sustaining nation.
327
But he won't do that.
328
No. No.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
