Review of 'Yes Men Fix The World' w/ Jonathan Kim

[jotunobsidianeyes]

IBM gave technology to the Nazis? I thought it was South Africa during apartheid . Or was it both? Or neither?

[nilbud]

They supplied and maintained machines used for the collation of prisoner details in the concentration camps and in the death camps.

"IBM gave technology to the Nazis?"

Yes. IBM does not deny it.

See the docu "The Corporation"

[Humanist12345]

Sad, but it is just about bonuses, When the stock price falls the company is acquired by another company and the acquired company is gutted.

Sounds like a good movie and all, but it looks pretty boring. Like something that'd be great to watch on YouTube, but really hard to sit through at a theater, or even as a rental.

[aaronsande]

Good review, sounds like an awesome movie.

But, no offense, dude needs to lose that haircut. I totally thought he was a lesbian named "Jonathan Kim" until he spoke.

;D

[TheBirdsGoTweet]

I remember watching this during the film festival months ago. It's a great documentary to watch.

[Drey4ltur]

like a Sacha Baron Cohen bit, but really REALLY clever and influential! O.o

I FKN LOVE IT xD

[amp1616]

companies shouldnt rely so much on stocks

[kuunami]

wow, did they get sewed for any of the stunts that they pulled?

[FullOfFail]

wow, these new video ads are even more annoying than their predecessors. Hopefully my adblock takes care of it ASAP. I might just stop watching youtube altogether over this shit. There's a reason I quit watching TV.

[FullOfFail]

Yesssssssss, got it. Take that google.

[eeedel]

@FullOfFail same here. i almost didnt mind the ads there or a second.. but now the ad script is making the video freeze and not load at all. s'fucking bullshit.

[FullOfFail]

Well, I got rid of it earlier, but now it's back :-/

Not sure why.

[dangerouslytalented]

Capitalism is flawed. Communism is more flawed. Theocracy is even more flawed.

The ideal solution: Capitalism with laws that reduce the harm that capitalism does.

[TheGiantRobot]

Yeah, like simply keeping capitalism restricted to commerce, where it belongs. Money should have no say so in our politics, our laws, and our courts.

[dangerouslytalented]

... and subjecting these corporations to the rule of law.

[TheGiantRobot]

Absolutely. The corporation itself is a creation of the law, and the law that defines it and regulates it needs to be democratic, not capitalistic or anything else for that matter.

[banonKING]

Yeah. All these systems have to remember that those in charge and with power can easily cheat, manipulate and corrupt the system they control. We're not all "saints".

[RAMUNEsweet]

@dangerouslytalented

Very well said, my friend. ^_^d
