The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism

Sorry, your point is not valid. Her point is that Shotgun capitalism is evil especially when it uses crisis as a means to leverage legislation that is grossly undebated and rammed down our throats as medicine we must take for our own good. Fear can always frighten up disciples when timed right.

This was highly informative, not for the obvious misuses of power we have seen, or even the obvious confirmation that shock doctrine exists, but for the Argentinian story - the uprising of people who weren't going to be intimidated by the power elite any longer and took the government on in revolt. Great story!

Here here. It's nice to hear from these guys about the 3 percent of the time we're successful. Like the Whiskey Rebellion. "Failed" but achieved it's goals.

These guys are always such pessimists.

The times where I am overwhelmed by the complacency of the public and feel like nobody is listening to or even cares about the truth, I am compelled to wonder if the sheep mentality isn't practically BEGGING to be herded. If people allow themselves to be herded, then can we really blame the shepards who crop up and take advantage of that? As disheartening as financial globalization has become, part of me just wants to scream "I told you so!" to all of them!

But to curtail liberties a bogeyman is always helpful. And the bigger u make him (this bogeyman) the easier your job will be.

I highly suggest this video to you all if you have any real interest in this sort of thing, you will be glad you watched it zeitgeist addendum, find it right here on youtube.

Perhaps it's just the flip-floppy liberal in me, but I really think it isn't that simple.... and yet, you're fucking right! It is hypocrisy to denounce capitalism, and then sell your books... but still people need to eat... if you live in a free market society, does that mean you are forced to pander to the free-market agenda? If so, how do you beat that?

And, by the way, to set the record straight, I'm not calling her a hypocrite. She's a voice for the people, if anything. What I'm saying, is that we live in a system that forces us to play ugly games. The game of having to sell a ware to make a living. If we challenge that game, then we are called "hypocrite." That's what I think is wrong.
