He's pulling pretty heavily from "a legacy of ashes" by Tim Weiner, if anyone wants some deeper background of the CIA that he turned into just montages of names.

This appears to be satire

That's Beto's pizza. It's highly contentious, even here. I've never met a defender of it, but they seem to be doing okay business.

But why must we fight? Let's come together in our hatred for the signature pizza of my neighbor city.

How does ownership of stocks fit into this dichotomy? It seems like there are lots of workers who increasingly own but do not control the means of production through 401k or other investments.

They aren't wealthy enough to stop working, but they do empower lots of rich ghouls to make predatory decisions on their behalf.

I've noticed some cool original contributions in, for example

There are also lots of active spaces on mastodon. I also have some hope that as the fediverse grows, it will bring over some more niche creative communities from twitter, reddit, etc.

There are some good answers here, but I would also note that because the legal system is adversarial, continued investment can go a long way towards a desired outcome. If you can afford a parade of experts, huge amounts of gathered evidence, and contingency plans researched and prepared by dozens of lawyers and paralegals, you'll do better in court.

It's an arms race, so the "best" lawyers have spent the most on arms. That also means that even the worst lawyers have to invest a lot to keep up.
