The Worst of All Worlds (economically)

The second part of the last video. I separated the two, in case any of you find the first video useful for proving a point - the second half of the argument is of dubious rhetorical value. Or possibly, of its own unique rhetorical value.

And yes, I will get to the Psychology finale.

Why does it keep suggesting the tag 'Glenn Beck'?

This blog post inspired this, and the previous, video: http://www.nothirdsolution.com/2011/11/24/black-friday-working-conditions/

well, maybe not monsters, but there will always be people at the top..

[Aurini]

@MrChimochay Who says there has to be a top?

[Android369]

@Aurini The need for human hierachy dictates that. The collective is mostly preoccupied with their own safety and such a weak and fragile lot simply needs a strong hand to guide them through the lands.

[Aurini]

@Android369 So let us have many tops, then; a land of pyramids, not a single hierarchy.

Let leaders lead, but don't force all into one.

[MrChimochay]

@Aurini not that there has to be a top, but I honestly believe that some people (even if only a very small minority) can not be content with being equal with others, and (historically) go as far as to try and dominate their fellow man.

[Aurini]

@MrChimochay I agree; this should be seen as part of the engineering problem. Democracy just incentivizes them to become politicians and lobbyists.

Remove nodes of power, offer status-seeking paths for those that give a damn.

Easier said than done, obviously - but I think 'engineering problem' is a good metric to look at it by.

The system fucking blows, yes. We also have a retarded school system and a war on drugs that helps keep the poor down. However, I don't think everything is as bleak as you think. The "wage slaves" now live better than medieval kings once did. Also I think you underestimate how drastically powerful the grey market is in America. Being paid under-the-table is a norm for non-corporate business. The vast majority of small businesses ignore regulations and hide income.

@Aurini Makes sense, except that the government will do anything to prevent the decentralization process from occurring, because it threatens their own power to such a degree where they'd become almost mediocre and insignificant.

A centralized govern. takes the role of the sun and would never give up their position without brute force.

Anything that does not resemble to sheepocracy is deemed dangerous and therefore democracy just needs to be glorified by all.

Amen

"Like the gd leeches they are..."

And the leftists, the champions of the poor and the downtrodden, will stand,

blubbering out from of their tear filled eyes, and applaud with joy that the savior government once again,

has saved the coward from the evil scheming business owner.

Afterward,

.

they will fellate each other.
