"Jobless men keep going, we can't take care of our own"
It may have been a sad, sarcastic observation at the time, but it reflects the corrupt, greedy
nature of today's Chamber of Commerce perfectly.

translation: I was a special unique snowflake who thought himself above other people and common
things like feeling some kind of community. I preferred to worship some stupid abstraction
instead.
I learned the laws of nature (translation: I miseducated myself with babby's first book of pop
science and some Marx) and then smoked the same technocratic communitarian crap that everybody in
the thirties was smoking. Meanwhile said technocratic futurist re-res lunged at each other
throats for the right of planning all of mankind.
I'm 93 and I'm still too stupid to realize that prices ration things in ways no human planner
possible could. I fancy myself in opposition to totalitarianism, but what I advocate is pretty
much what Hitler and Stalin preached, but with some vague enviro-humanist crap thrown in for
color.
No seriously, it will work this time for realz.

Go back to hanging up fliers for your high school Libertarian club.

No, sorry I'm self employed. Also no matter how much dope you smoke there is no way to get people
to give up money without bayonettes.

You live in a very confined and sheltered personal bubble.
I do not agree with everything in the video, but it does raise some interesting points.

We call them churches, families, friends, and charities. It turns out that not helping your
fellow man up is actually sort of socially awkward and ostracizing.
Oh, I'm sorry, you think you're some sort of Libertarian "enlightened self-interest" person when
in reality your post marks you as a jerk who thinks that Ayn Rand was right, as opposed to being
a power-hungry bitch who would have sold out everyone around her for the right price in pursuit
of her own personal wealth and happiness.

Turns out forcing people to help their poor at gunpoint ends up with the poor throwing away all
the help they get and demanding more, until nobody has anything left to give. Keep hanging the
kulaks, or one percenters, or whatever you call them these days. Once they're all dead, in jail,
or driven overseas, we will have our true Peoples' Democratic Republic!

YES EXACTLY. That's my point. But clowns like marlboro throat here worship abstractions like
"earth and everyone on it" and ignore flesh and blood people while busily planning unworkable
social engineering schemes.
This "post-scarcity" economics stuff is wicked idiocy. Taking away money means taking people's
basic voice in their labor. Every time you tell a zeitgeist goon that this, he will wave away all
of economics as a "religion" and that presuppositions of every economist of note are wrong. (yet
they never seem to real off what those presuppositions are).
The whole thing is a singularity cult. There is no free lunch, and all the processing power in
the world is not going to fix that.
Also fuck Rand she is a terrible philosopher and human being. The enemy of my enemy is not my
friend.

While I disagree with about 95% of this flash, one thing he said is correct.
The resources and the factories haven't gone anywhere. The market crash was caused by speculation
and wall street bankers.
If the market is supposed to make money by producing something of value and trading it, then it
is completely illogical for companies like goldman sachs to operate, since they don't produce any
value, they simply shuffle it around until someone loses the game of musical chairs.
You can't pay someone with someone elses debt, end of story.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellamy_salute was how people said the pledge of allegiance before
Nazis adapted the salute.
In addition, I don't entierly agree with the whole message, with the exception of what >>1609758
said. Fuckin' economics, how does it work?

Cool story, bro. How are we going to do it?
