Kappa Sigs response was meant to be a joke. No not everyone in that house is 1%, but quite a few were raised by parents that are. This wasn't meant to be taken so seriously and many members of this house were embarrassed by the amount of cockiness it displayed. To the people who got extremely worked up by this, calm the fuck down and understand that douche bags are everywhere and some are in fraternities, but making inaccurate generalizations about anyone greek shows your ignorance.
and people wonder why frats are hated by most of society...perfect example right here. ignorance in its finest form. should pick up a book and actually learn something while they attend school on their parents dime
To all who think fraternities are for rich people, I would really say that if you don't know shit then just STFU. I've been living the United States for the past 6 years and still I am neither a citizen nor a permanent resident but I live legally on a visa. My parents pay nearly $16K in taxes every year but still I am not eligible for any federal aid. I am not rich but I still rushed, pledged and got initiated into Kappa Sigma. Its all about brotherhood not who's rich or poor. AEKDB
My family made 535 k last year and was taxed the shit out of. fuck them lazy bastards who want handouts. Anyways this is funny as shit. Frat on gentlemen
@135hammers it wasn't in arkansas it was usc, just look up kappa sigma email, some of it is funny, like real dark comedy. but most of it is really fucked up womanizing.
Wow, the hubris of it all. When they graduate, if they're very lucky, these guys will be working FOR the 1%. Then they'll wonder why they're putting in 70 hours a week, and praying their job doesn't get sent overseas.
@beh5140 I wish you well in wherever you go. I'm still in a legal fraternity, and if you're in denial about what century it is or women's rights perhaps a country that degrades women is just the place for you. Enjoy!
The protests aren't even about the "1%" Nobody cares about doctors or other professionals. If anything it's about the top 0.1% And even then, it's not about individuals so much as structural problems. Everyone is getting far too hung up on the personal aspect of this, when it's the least significant part.
@beh5140 You guys never get tired of being wrong do you? The sad part is, a simple google search would've revealed this to you. Phi Alpha Delta law fraternity international, accepting women since 1970. You're the same guy who will go home crying to his wife in 20 years that a woman got promoted over him because he was "frat-ing on" well into his 40s.
@tiffanyhord2006 My point still stands. You're not a fraternity if you have women in it. You're a fucking CLUB. There is no bond of brotherhood between women, that's why they're called sisters not brothers. And you're right. I'll frat hard till I die, but considering that in 2 years there's an excellent chance I'll be in Iraq or Afghanistan I don't there being very many of my direct commanders being female
@chaosmos24 whoa, somebody is upset. My point is that people's situations are within their control, not held down by the "evil 1%" it's just a copout. Keep in mind those income discrepencies are gross, if you tax the rich 90% the income as quoted stays the same. So what is achieved by raising taxes besides scaring people out of the country? Maybe you and those who hate it so much can leave to France, balance out the labor pool, and the problem will be solved. Learn some economics.
I never said that people were being "held down" by some evil cabal. Nice straw-man though.
People have some control over their personal situation, yes, but they are also situated within a larger socioeconomic context. This "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" meme is magical thinking and it has zero relation to economic reality.
Raising taxes isn't the answer so much as reforming the tax code is. The average person in France has a better quality of life for a reason.
I'll also point out I have no problem with fraternities. I am the vp of my legal fraternity (yes, this isn't 1882... girls are in legal frats)... Fraternities aren't the problem people. Being uninformed is the enemy.
If you were half as smart as you think you sound, you would know better than to be rude to people on a publicly accessible site and subsequently tell everyone where you are working. Corporations tend to look down on that behavior no matter how impressive you may think your resume is. If you had spent ANY time in the real world that would be obvious to you. Just a piece of friendly advice...
You're afraid of capitalists, women, lawyers, and people who are smarter than you? Makes sense. I have a great internship lined up myself, except its a legal internship where I will actually be making a difference in the world. Unlike you I can cook, do math, keep up with my legal studies, raise a child, AND make people like you look stupid all at the same time. My husband is a proud guy. Plus, I'm much more attractive than anyone you'll ever land in this lifetime.
@chaosmos24 Whoa you're still on here trolling? Well I don't know where you're located right now, but from where I'm sitting, it's a beautiful night to go stand in the streets playing "hobo kings and street-level queens" with my friends.
@chaosmos24 I own one of those gadgets the EVIL CORPORATIONS invented called a cell phone. It just so happens that my inbox has been filling up with notifications that you keep replying to the things I have to say. Do you think your good Kappa Sig alumni friends would appreciate the way you're talking about their fraternity? No wonder you didn't get a bid, you're a dickhead that talks badly about his "good friends" behind the unwavering protection of the internet. Tisk tisk 99%er.
Nobody said anything about corporations being evil. You guys sure do have trouble with not projecting your own nonsense on to other people. If you don't want people to respond to you, don't comment. Fairly straightforward. I don't think my friends care what I say because they largely feel the same way. Does it shock you that some of your own "brothers" can see it for what it is? I would have to have sought a bid to be rejected. We don't all have our own head up our ass.
@chaosmos24 Oh come on now chaosmos24, you know I'm just your typical frat guy that can't resist a flame war on a YouTube video with some poor, liberal, GDI. Or wait, is that what you're expecting me to call you? My brothers and friends do see it for what it is. It's a large group of people who's life didn't go as expected, so now they're trying to blame others for their failures. I don't ask for handouts not because I'm in the 1% (I'm not), but because I believe in reaping what you sow.
There you go making assumptions again. Anyone who doesn't agree with your knee-jerk pronouncements must be poor and liberal. Handouts? I seem to remember the largest firms on Wall Street asking for handouts and getting them. What happened to reaping what you sow? If it's good enough for the average person, it should be good enough for the wealthy and well-connected If you're fine with having a dysfunctional plutocracy, so be it. Other people aren't.
@chaosmos24 "If you're fine with having a dysfunctional plutocracy, so be it. Other people aren't." Then why are you still here? Our neighbors to the north or the south will gladly welcome you with open arms. As for the rest of us, the only thing the 99%ers protests are accomplishing is slowing my transit from campus back home where I can enjoy all of my 1%er amenities such as air conditioning, a 60" LED, and the right to tell my neighbor's dog to shut the hell up.
How bad does it have to get before you give a damn? This "love it or leave it" meme was old forty years ago. I would prefer to hate it and stay. I would prefer to try and improve the country, rather than running away like a coward. Nobody is interfering with your transit. Nobody is protesting against you or your amenities. A christ-complex doesn't suit you.
I notice you're silent about the bailouts because you know I'm right. The rule of law is broken in this country. If you're the right person, you can commit fraud on monumental levels and walk away with no arrest and your fortune intact. Peacefully protest such injustice in public? That will get you handled rather roughly. Notice the asymmetry here?
You're right, this current liberal movement is EXACTLY like the Civil Rights movement. Sweetheart, why don't you stick to what you know. Your significant other would be upset to learn that you were using his computer which he must have forgotten on the kitchen counter. You bums keep changing the world by standing on street corners and perfecting your cardboard sign making skills. I've got to polish up my impressive resume for my internship this summer with Sachs. Spoiler alert: I already have it
Just what the world needs, another investment banking parasite that contributes nothing to society. And you have the balls to belittle others. It would be amusing if it wasn't so sad.
Anyone who might care to have the whole story on who has the government in their pocket you can go to opensecrets. org. Get the real story. The media is playing you all. I would think real men don't like to be played with, but maybe I'm wrong. Perhaps one of the "values" you are taught is that if you keep your mouth shut you can become a company man someday. Maybe 30 years ago that was the case... not so much now. See previously mentioned stats.
@occupyyourmom obviously you've never heard of this little thing called the Civil Rights movement. Dirty hippies? Really... Hmmm. Why should that comment surprise me?
He can't imagine why anyone would ever express discontent, no matter how justified. We have a government run by a bunch of criminals that auction themselves off to the highest bidder, but so what? Protesting isn't cool. Better to just accept it, or better yet, be completely oblivious. Continue to go through life caring about nothing but the next opportunity to have a drink and get laid.
@chaosmos24 "Protesting isn't cool. Better to just accept it, or better yet, be completely oblivious. Continue to go through life caring about nothing but the next opportunity to have a drink and get laid." You say this as if it were a bad way to live. Your life must really suck. If you weren't such an irrelevant human being that doesn't contribute to the greatest nation in the world, I'd feel some sympathy for you. But you are all of those things, so take a lap.
Save your cute fraternity phrases for someone who gives a shit. What exactly are you contributing to "the greatest nation in the world" (there's a laugh)? Going to move some wealthy peoples' money around? How would civilization ever function without people like you?
Nothing wrong with drinking or getting laid. If that's the extent of your participation in life, you're even more useless than the people you're insulting. Troll on, "bro."
Productivity has risen the past forty years. Income for the wealthiest has risen with it. Wages for the average worker have remained stagnant. The wealthiest have seen their wealth increase AT A FASTER RATE THAN THE RISE IN PRODUCTIVITY. It doesn't take a certified genius to connect the dots.
As far as the media painting it inaccurately, you're absolutely correct. The "banksters" via the media has tried very hard to show the "crazies" in the group to prove that everyone in this movement is a jobless, homeless, hipped. That just isn't the case. Anyone who believes in capitalism (true capitalism) should be protesting.
I didn't mean that it doesn't have a political message, I meant that it isn't one sided politically. Which, if you think that's the case, then I have to say you are mistaken. The movement has tried very hard to remain unaffiliated with political parties. The two party system is largely the problem with this country.
@chaosmos24 while I agree with everything you've said, I have a feeling our attempts to inform the Greek populace are in vain. It really is a shame because they see this as a political movement, and it is so far from that. If anything is consistent, its the fact that none of these movements has a political affiliation. FRAT ON! ;) (PS-good call on the capitalism... I was going there next.)
I see it as a political movement, and I have no problem with that. It's amusing to see so many people openly defend systemic corruption. Either they hope to join the ranks of the banksters, or they are clueless. Their attempt to paint protesters as "lazy" or as "communists" reveals how clueless they are.
@chaosmos24 And your response indicates that you are just too lazy to change your suitation and use your lack of "top-notch" connections as a copout for your lack of success. I'm a college student with a 6-fgure income that was born to a wellfare needing single mom. It can be done, people are just lazy.
1% is a buzzword, but it works on the moronic masses. remember that 50% of the population pays 98% of taxes
I didn't refer to my "situation." Project much? This might come as a shock, but it's possible to have integrity, even if you're comfortable. I'm not having a pity party for myself, so spare me the lectures. What invaluable service do you provide to "earn" a six figure income? 53% of people pay federal income taxes. The rest of the country doesn't make enough. Federal income taxes make up less than half of all federal revenue. Try again.
The bottom 80% of this country have a combined net worth of 15%. The top 1% have a combined net worth of 35%. The top 1% have 43% of all financial wealth, almost half the wealth in the country. The bottom 80% have 7% of financial wealth between them all. These are figures from 2007, before the financial crisis. If anything, the wealthiest should be taxed even more. How much more wealth can they accumulate before the whole thing implodes?
Don't pretend you've ever bothered to crack open a book on political theory. Are the Ron Paul supporters protesting communists? If you're such a proud capitalist, you should be protesting too. But then you might have to bother to know what is going on in the world, and that would require minimal effort. The only people who should oppose these protests are criminal banksters and their puppet-politicians. Rock on, bro.
@chaosmos24 I've taken shits with more political knowledge than you. I bet you focus on all the political theorists around the time of Marx, who were just barely functionally retarded, and ignore everything from before or after that time period. I am a proud capitalist because America was great when people worked hard and bought whatever they wanted with the money they earned. They didn't sit on their ass and demand for things to be given to them. I protest occupying hippies by spending money
Another member of the frat brigade steps up to the plate. A proud capitalist, eh? Is there any other kind? Since you like capitalism so much, you must want to protest the corrupt brand of state-capitalism we currently employ in this country, yes? Or does your love for capitalism and hatred of protesting cancel one another out? A dilemma. People still work hard in this country. Productivity has risen. Wages have not. Open your eyes and look around some time.
@chaosmos24 When will you fucking commies learn. Individually corrupt people in a capitalist system do not make it corrupt. I love capitalism and I love the right to protest, but I hate hippies who have shoved their head so far up their ass that they protest the stupidest fucking things imaginable in the most idiotic way imaginable. Really wages have not risen? Good to know that companies still pay people what they did in 1950!
Anyone who doesn't think this country is perfect is a communist? Individuals can't be corrupt unless the system is corrupt. What do you think capitalism is? Protesting doesn't make you a hippy. You guys seem to have this fixation with hippies. The president of the U.S. now has the ability to order the assassination of U.S. citizens without the due process they are afforded under the constitution. You either think that's swell, or you don't.
@chaosmos24 Yes. Because true perfection is impossible in an imperfect world. So our idea of perfect is relative to everything around. Essentially perfect is the greatest around. And the U.S. is the Greatest country on earth, anyone living in America who thinks otherwise may not be a communist but is certainly a dip shit. And I don't care considering a true american would never do something to make their government want to assassinate them
Does the average American have the best quality of life on the planet? I'm not asking about billionaires. The average person.
So you trust your government to not abuse such unconstitutional power? I thought "true Americans" would at least care whether something violated the fundamental law of the land, no? The president is denied such power so that it can't possibly be abused. Most sane people don't want an unaccountable dictator. If you do, move to a country that has one.
@chaosmos24 Absolutely. I have lived and am currently living in Europe, the next best place besides America, and the standard of living sucks in comparison. For average Joe, America is the best place on earth.
Power is only abused by those who wish to abuse it. Maybe if you don't trust your president you should have told your friends not to pick such a shitty one. Go back and read your political theory books on Aristotle and his Philosopher King / real world realization of that ideal.
Where do you live in Europe? How does it feel being so full of shit? The average person living in a Scandinavian country has a better quality of life than the average American. That's confirmed by a number of different metrics (education, healthcare, labor rights, etc.).
Your view on presidential power contradicts the founders of this nation that you pretend to revere. I don't trust anyone to have that sort of power, and you're a useful idiot if you do.
@chaosmos24 Italia, and I don't know never experienced the feeling. You still don't get what I'm saying to you about "better" being a subjective thing. You may think socialized health care and quasi communistic workers rights are a good thing, I however do not. The benefit of my point of view is that I am right. Workers already enjoy all the rights needed here in America
The greatest period of prosperity in this country coincided with the legacy of the New Deal. FDR, who you are evidently so proud of, suggested a second bill of rights that would probably make your head explode. People in Europe can at least get access to health care without going bankrupt.
Jobs have to exist before people can get them. Could you be anymore vague? Having access to health care shouldn't be contingent upon employment.
And people who have health insurance still end up losing everything depending on what illness befalls them. A majority of bankruptcies are due to medical costs.
Aristotle didn't write about a "philosopher king." Plato did. But why would I expect you to get your facts straight. You haven't gotten one straight so far.
I can agree with the golden mean. Balance is important. Not so sure about having a philosopher king. So you're a fascist, essentially? This is antithetical to the U.S. system. Granted, Plato was probably the most reasonable fascist of all time, but he was still a fascist.
@chaosmos24 I'm not a fascist because I don't think it can reasonably be put into practice. It is the Ideal, but to find a person capable of not being corrupted by the absolute power of a monarchy and to deal out justice is damn near impossible, let alone finding someone to replace him. If we lived in a perfect world it would work, but then again we can't and don't.
@vigilanteartist I never stated that you couldn't be in the top 1% after you go to college at the University of Arkansas (after all I am going here and striving to be the best I can be). Frankly, I have no idea why you are directing your comment at me because it addresses nothing that I've stated. One, these kids are likely nowhere near the top 1% of the population whose parents have income of more than 1.5 million a year, and, two, that U of A is not in the top 10 law schools in the country.
Yeah, all-pervasive corruption is pretty hilarious. I can't wait until this country is a full-blown banana republic. We'll all be so well dressed, bro!
it's funny because none of these kids are actually rich. you would be hard pressed to find a single student at the U of A whose parents make >500k a year. it's a school dominated by white frat kids who think they are rich for owning two or three ralph lauren polos
@ballsfaceher Actually, there are plenty of people who do. Doesn't take away from the fact that the guys are dumbasses, but some of them are legitimately rich. Or rather, their parents are.
@ballsfaceher That's a very strange and completely unfounded generalization. Funny that you say things that are unfounded just because you see something with which you don't agree. You have no idea who "these kids" are and what they or their parents do.
To everyone saying that none of the 1% lives in Arkansas, Wal Mart was started and is headquartered here by the richest family in the world, the Waltons. Tyson Chicken and J.B. Hunt are also headquartered here and Jerry Jones was a member and lived in the house in this video. Stop making stupid assumptions of the south and Arkansas when right now its prospering while other states are in crisis.
This is a joke, right? Arkansas is near the bottom of the list in terms of food security. We're near the bottom of the list for education. Because a few big companies have their headquarters here doesn't mean the state is "prospering." This is the same kind of logic that sees the country doing fine anytime the stock market sees an uptick. Keep your ignorance to yourself. Arkansas doesn't need any help being ridiculed. I say that as a fellow resident.
@sksstrif1 Actually if you had went to the U of A for law school, where I am currently enrolled, you would know that they are nowhere NEAR the top 10... Nice try. Don't get me wrong, I wish they were... it would bump my resume to the top of every stack of firms in the country, but that isn't the case. A simple google search would have revealed this to you. Who is the idiot again? I doubt you could make it in to ANY law school since you lack the ability to manage simple sentence structure.
Because, as you know, washed up frat boys commenting on a lame youtube video is where the 1% really are in 20 years. Give me a break. If you really were in the top 1% mommy and daddy would've sent you to Harvard, not Arkansas!
@tiffanyhord2006 Actually if you weren't a complete idiot. University of Arkansas is in the top 10 schools of Law and Business. I understand you are mad because you yourself will never amount to anything.
@tiffanyhord2006 High school is such a sedentary atmosphere that you can't predict what kind of success teenagers will have based on their high school GPA, test scores, or college of choice.
For example, my dad went to Oklahoma St, which is on par with Arkansas, and he is in the 1%. In addition, the company he works for has their executives tested biannually, and his IQ is in the 98th percentile (that means the top 2% of human intelligence, which puts him at genius level, technically).
Fuck hippies. Frat on Gentlemen and Frat on Wall Street. The founding fathers didn't get anywhere by sitting on their asses in tents outside the british financial center. If your life sucks (sorry you didn't get a bid geed) then do something about it instead of whining.
Your mistake is thinking that anyone other than troglodytes would want to be apart of your "organization." Protesting systemic corruption (crack open a book sometime or turn on the news) doesn't make you a hippy. You probably think anyone not wearing a polo is a hippy. Why would anyone want to associate themselves with Wall Street? Is fraud encouraged and applauded in your moose lodge for would-be yuppies?
@chaosmos24 Protesting "systemic corruption" doesn't make you a hippy. Protesting anything at all makes you dirty hippy. Just because Obama never sent you your free money doesn't mean you have to become all angry at the financial markets of the US. "I'm so mad that I stood on a street corner with my cardboard sign and yelled at pedestrian's walking by! I'm part of a trendy movement because it's the only way I know how to attempt to be relevant in this society!"
I wasn't at the protest in this video. But having relevant information doesn't seem to stop you from making a fool of yourself. I'm not an Obama supporter. Everything can't be collapsed into a pro/anti Obama circle jerk. People aren't protesting because they want "free money." You think people are "angry at the financial markets of the US?" Have you been conscious the past four or five years? Go back to sleep, America.
Now you're not even trying. Do you guys still wear polo shirts? Is that still fashionable? You guys don't seem to be too open to change in general though, so that shouldn't be surprising. You still think being a part of the Junior Masonic Order or whatever it is is hip, so that says it all.
@chaosmos24 You're right I'm not trying. In fact I don't have to try. By the nature of being a fraternity man I am inherently better than you bidless GDI little shits. Sorry I'm too frat to care about what shitty looking trends are "popular" now because I know Ralph Lauren, Armani, Brooks Brothers, Nautica, Vineyard Vines, Southern Proper, and Sperry will always be in style. And because I'm a true American I love God, the masons are inherently anti-church so it is forbidden to join.
Some of us are already done with college. It might come as a shock to you, but most people don't care about playing Boy's Clubhouse past the age of seven. I couldn't give two shits what you wear, so we'll cut straight to the rest. In short, there is no such thing as a "true American," unless you mean a citizen, and there is no religious test for that. There is no god, but if there is, it certainly isn't the Judeo-Christian one I'm sure you worship.
@chaosmos24 Really? considering the vast majority of american presidents were members of a fraternal organization and almost every fortune 500 exec who went to college (except drop outs like Jobs and Gates) were members of a fraternity, I'd say it matters quite a bit post graduate. And your last statement just proved you're a godless communist shitbag. That's why Americans hate you and what you're doing by protesting our system.
It matters in so far as having connections does. It's a glorified good ole' boys system. And look at how these people have run the country into the ground. You actually think presidents being frat members is something to be proud of? It's a parade of corrupt war mongers and shills. George W. Bush is your poster boy. And you wonder why people have such a low opinion of secret society organizations.
Don't presume to speak for all Americans. We're not all Christian zealots.
@chaosmos24 So did Wilson, JFK, FDR, TR, Reagan, Eisenhower, Truman, and countless others "run this country into the ground"? Just because you didn't like 1 (of many) President who was in a fraternity doesn't mean that fraternity men aren't fit to run the country, in fact that list proves to me they are the most fit.
And you don't speak for me with this 99% bullshit so stop saying 99%. Plus you don't have to be christian, as long as you believe in something, Why did you go straight there first?
Don't pretend that Skull and Bones are equivalent to your little fraternal organization. JFK, Teddy, and Eisenhower weren't so bad. Wilson? Are you fucking serious? He established the federal reserve, and himself regretted selling his country out to a bunch of corrupt bankers. That you could actually list him as a positive example boggles the mind. Likewise with Reagan. He started the downward spiral we have been in for decades.
@chaosmos24 Wilson was the Man! Hands down the most intelligent man to ever be president and headed some of history's most important peace talks, even though the outcome was shitty it was better than what the French and British wanted to do to the Germans. The Gipper is one of the greatest presidents there has ever been or will ever had. He stuck it to those commie bastards and helpe of Blessed John Paul the great bring an end to Soviet communism
Wilson might have been intelligent, but it doesn't change the fact that he was a shill for international bankers. He admits as much himself: "I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men....
@chaosmos24 So....? Would you rather have the credit controlled by a select few who knew what they were doing or by the ignorant masses that have no idea how to run the economy?
Since when does someone have to "run" the economy? A capitalist like yourself should be in favor of letting the market (i.e. the ignorant masses) decide.
......We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." - Woodrow Wilson
Reagan wasn't responsible for the collapse of the Soviet Union. Supply-side economics was a failure then, and it's a failure now.
@chaosmos24 I'm sorry did universal suffrage get revoked when I wasn't looking? Of course this is a government of free opinion, the fact that anybody of any opinion can voice that opinion as the general public or as a legislator if they get elected proves that.
And yea like I said Reagan wasn't responsible, Blessed John Paul the Great was. Although Reagan helped out a lot.
What does that even mean, "as long as you believe in something?" I just find it funny that you're ragging on "hippies" while being a member of a cult. You interjected god into the conversation, not me. It doesn't help your case. Magical thinking seems to be a staple of this kind of lifestyle. Otherwise, how would you take all of this shit seriously?
@chaosmos24 Organized religion is hardly a cult. Just have some sense of the fact that you're not the fucking boss of the universe. There's something bigger than all of us. See it as God, or an ideal like nationhood, or whatever else you want.
that is such a sick frat house
5kWaTT5 1 week ago
Kappa Sigs response was meant to be a joke. No not everyone in that house is 1%, but quite a few were raised by parents that are. This wasn't meant to be taken so seriously and many members of this house were embarrassed by the amount of cockiness it displayed. To the people who got extremely worked up by this, calm the fuck down and understand that douche bags are everywhere and some are in fraternities, but making inaccurate generalizations about anyone greek shows your ignorance.

As far as the media painting it inaccurately, you're absolutely correct.

I didn't mean that it doesn't have a political message, I meant that it isn't one sided politically. Which, if you think that's the case, then I have to say you are mistaken.

Fuck hippies. Frat on Gentlemen and Frat on Wall Street. The founding fathers didn't get anywhere by sitting on their asses in tents outside the british financial center. If your life sucks (sorry you didn't get a bid geed) then do something about it instead of whining.

Your mistake is thinking that anyone other than troglodytes would want to be apart of your "organization." Protesting systemic corruption (crack open a book sometime or turn on the news) doesn't make you a hippy. You probably think anyone not wearing a polo is a hippy. Why would anyone want to associate themselves with Wall Street? Is fraud encouraged and applauded in your moose lodge for would-be yuppies?

@chaosmos24 Protesting "systemic corruption" doesn't make you a hippy. Protesting anything at all makes you dirty hippy. Just because Obama never sent you your free money doesn't mean you have to become all angry at the financial markets of the US. "I'm so mad that I stood on a street corner with my cardboard sign and yelled at pedestrian's walking by! I'm part of a trendy movement because it's the only way I know how to attempt to be relevant in this society!"

I wasn't at the protest in this video. But having relevant information doesn't seem to stop you from making a fool of yourself. I'm not an Obama supporter. Everything can't be collapsed into a pro/anti Obama circle jerk. People aren't protesting because they want "free money." You think people are "angry at the financial markets of the US?" Have you been conscious the past four or five years? Go back to sleep, America.

@chaosmos24 I don't think that anybody not wearing a polo is a hippy, I just know they're beneath me

Now you're not even trying. Do you guys still wear polo shirts? Is that still fashionable? You guys don't seem to be too open to change in general though, so that shouldn't be surprising. You still think being a part of the Junior Masonic Order or whatever it is is hip, so that says it all.

@chaosmos24 You're right I'm not trying. In fact I don't have to try. By the nature of being a fraternity man I am inherently better than you bidless GDI little shits. Sorry I'm too frat to care about what shitty looking trends are "popular" now because I know Ralph Lauren, Armani, Brooks Brothers, Nautica, Vineyard Vines, Southern Proper, and Sperry will always be in style. And because I'm a true American I love God, the masons are inherently anti-church so it is forbidden to join.

Some of us are already done with college. It might come as a shock to you, but most people don't care about playing Boy's Clubhouse past the age of seven. I couldn't give two shits what you wear, so we'll cut straight to the rest. In short, there is no such thing as a "true American," unless you mean a citizen, and there is no religious test for that. There is no god, but if there is, it certainly isn't the Judeo-Christian one I'm sure you worship.

@chaosmos24 Really? considering the vast majority of american presidents were members of a fraternal organization and almost every fortune 500 exec who went to college (except drop outs like Jobs and Gates) were members of a fraternity, I'd say it matters quite a bit post graduate. And your last statement just proved you're a godless communist shitbag. That's why Americans hate you and what you're doing by protesting our system.

It matters in so far as having connections does. It's a glorified good ole' boys system. And look at how these people have run the country into the ground. You actually think presidents being frat members is something to be proud of? It's a parade of corrupt war mongers and shills. George W. Bush is your poster boy. And you wonder why people have such a low opinion of secret society organizations.
Don't presume to speak for all Americans. We're not all Christian zealots.

@chaosmos24 So did Wilson, JFK, FDR, TR, Reagan, Eisenhower, Truman, and countless others "run this country into the ground"? Just because you didn't like 1 (of many) President who was in a fraternity doesn't mean that fraternity men aren't fit to run the country, in fact that list proves to me they are the most fit.
And you don't speak for me with this 99% bullshit so stop saying 99%. Plus you don't have to be christian, as long as you believe in something, Why did you go straight there first?

@beh5140
Don't pretend that Skull and Bones are equivalent to your little fraternal organization. JFK, Teddy, and Eisenhower weren't so bad. Wilson? Are you fucking serious? He established the federal reserve, and himself regretted selling his country out to a bunch of corrupt bankers. That you could actually list him as a positive example boggles the mind. Likewise with Reagan. He started the downward spiral we have been in for decades.

@chaosmos24 Wilson was the Man! Hands down the most intelligent man to ever be president and headed some of history's most important peace talks, even though the outcome was shitty it was better than what the French and British wanted to do to the Germans. The Gipper is one of the greatest presidents there has ever been or will ever had. He stuck it to those commie bastards and helpe of Blessed John Paul the great bring an end to Soviet communism

Wilson might have been intelligent, but it doesn't change the fact that he was a shill for international bankers. He admits as much himself: "I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men....
chaosmos24 4 months ago
@chaosmos24 So....? Would you rather have the credit controlled by a select few who knew what they were doing or by the ignorant masses that have no idea how to run the economy?

@beh5140
Since when does someone have to "run" the economy? A capitalist like yourself should be in favor of letting the market (i.e. the ignorant masses) decide.

......We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." - Woodrow Wilson
Reagan wasn't responsible for the collapse of the Soviet Union. Supply-side economics was a failure then, and it's a failure now.

@chaosmos24 I'm sorry did universal suffrage get revoked when I wasn't looking? Of course this is a government of free opinion, the fact that anybody of any opinion can voice that opinion as the general public or as a legislator if they get elected proves that.
And yea like I said Reagan wasn't responsible, Blessed John Paul the Great was. Although Reagan helped out a lot.

Not sure what your suffrage comment has to do with anything.
The pope was not responsible for the downfall of the Soviet Union. Geopolitics is a little more complex than that.

What does that even mean, "as long as you believe in something?" I just find it funny that you're ragging on "hippies" while being a member of a cult. You interjected god into the conversation, not me. It doesn't help your case. Magical thinking seems to be a staple of this kind of lifestyle. Otherwise, how would you take all of this shit seriously?
chaosmos24 4 months ago
@chaosmos24 Organized religion is hardly a cult. Just have some sense of the fact that you're not the fucking boss of the universe. There's something bigger than all of us. See it as God, or an ideal like nationhood, or whatever else you want.
