The driving force behind most of our social ills is capitalism :/

[Divinity33372]

@Laughingblades I don't believe that. I believe the driving force behind most social ills is human fallibility and anyone who tells u different is selling you a scapegoat. Societies will always be in constant flux and humanity must adjust and adapt to that flux. But humans are lazy. They get comfy & don't want to change or self examine so they sell u an "ism" to embrace as a "savior" or an "ism" to blame for all your problems. Don't buy it.

@Lblades 2~ When I see an anti-capitalist blaming capitalism for the problems of the world I see someone who is not much different from a capitalist trying to blame "socialism" for the problems of the world.

This is the the most accurate analogy to this sitch that I have ever heard.

I knew exactly where you were going a third way through, and I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the twist.

Can I PLEASE mirror this???!!!

[Divinity33372]

@AtomicDaytime Of course my friend.

Brilliant presentation

[Divinity33372]

@inspirediam Thank you hun.

I don't think they're addicted, I mean they are leeches they've gamed the system, the vast majority of that 1% are not contributing anything great to humanity yet they reap the rewards. 

[krapptacular]

We need to help people like this,.and put them somewhare they can get off the money. The worst of all addictions.

It is a drug. Look at how crazy they got, when they fucked up and made bad bets.

Div. you are the best woman. : )

Addiction is no more a disease than off is a TV channel.

[Eceoes]

This is probably one of the most well made videos about this issue and I don't have a clue why the video is titled bad analogy, because it's one of the better analogies I have heard.

@Divinity33372 That is a very simplistic interpretation. Simply equating opposites isn't very insightful. One thing you will find is that generally speaking, the people who criticize capitalism have more intricate understanding of capital that its advocates do. Moreover, the FOX News types who blame socialism for everything don't seem to understand socialism OR capitalism. The criticisms of capitalism don't require a "saviour" to be sound. They stand on their own.

[no2religions]

@Laughingblades yes.

[Mystery207]

@Mystery207 There is only one way to skin a cat. Yes people fear change but lazy is development of our corporate lives we live under with pills for health TV for entertainment! I believe all this would not be the case if we did not live in this corporate world where you need paper money to be somebody! Not everybody can be a lawyer and earn six figures. I hope this is as stimulating as your videos are thought provoking,

[Mystery207]

@Divinity33372 I agree to a certain extent , but the social ills of society are directly the product of greed, If we lived in a free society nature would weed out the undesirable people so that everyone would contribute love to the earth. As it stands right now Greed is the motivator. Why would you need to escape if you were free, Tell me how can a company take a patent on a living organism or how do you own land? And Thanks to greed we have developed some of the best most addicting drugs

@DonQuixotedeKaw :T sadly, agreed. I'd always hoped we'd grown beyond such dynamics, but as you've pointed out previously, our national security has been compromised via the decline in educational standards. I don't know if it's quite as bleak a picture as you paint yet - I hope not - but it is getting worse, no question. Though created to supply 'intelligent labor,' national education needs to encompass more. I like Sir Ken Robinson's take on it: watch?v=zDZFcDGpL4U

@WorkerOwned When you finish that list, let me know: I'm VERY interested.
