  • @richd305 So you're against commies, are you against liberals too?

  • @richd305 Prove me wrong, or you're just a troll.

  • I can't believe this video is intended to teach children. It seems to sympathize with degenerate vandals. Commies!

  • @User100606 Dumbest comment ever.

  • @leracquet79 Technology is the problem, you can blame me for using a computer to put my point across, make as many personal attacks you want. But the fact of the matter is that technology was, is, and always will be the problem until people find out when it's too late (God forbid) that technology was actually the problem, not the solution. You have to understand how economies work, to understand how the minimum wage law actually weakens a country's economy, it goes against nature.

  • Advances in industrial processes are to increase productivity. Those without technology cannot compete for market share. Their recourse is to establish new markets or destroy the competition or do something else.

    For example, both I and my neighbor do the same kind of work but my neighbor comes up with a better and faster way to do it and gets more work. Do I have a moral imperative to smash his skull to erase the information? How about copying or even stealing the idea? How about investing?

  • Blaming the machines and not the ruling elite: another foolish mistake resulting in a lack of class consciousness that clearly ended in their demise. Kind of similar to what's happening today. We should embrace these wonderful technological advances, but NEVER leave aside the vital need for wealth redistribution and a decent minimum wage (for those who have and don't have jobs).
