Let me sum up the video for you then. He basically says:
- Radical political change needs to happen world-wide. (He may have a point.)
- He has no ideas what that change should look like, nor does he have any ideas on how to begin making those changes.
- The only firm thing he mentions is that he doesn't vote, and nobody else should either.
I have a serious problem with telling people not to vote. Because we will never get to a point where
nobody votes, at best you will end up with a situation where a person with the most corrupt friends is the one getting into power. His speaks of enabling the people, by asking them not to make choices.
So not only will his plan fail in somewhere like Canada, USA, or UK; but in countries like the Philippines where there is both widespread poverty as well as widepread corruption, it will only make things worse.
I may not know how to fix the world situation, but that doesn't mean I can't spot a fix that is horribly wrong. Just as I may not know how to launch a satellite into Earth orbit, that doesn't mean I am not qualified to tell the guy using sticks of TNT attached to a tin can that his plan will not work.
