"God" help us if the conspiracy of a new world order (which elder Bush spoke of to the entire nation) is true.
Where we're going, fairy tales aren't going to be able to help us.

USA to be dismantled by internal & external threats
The deadline for the disaster was supposed to be shortly after the 2008 election, then 2012, now it's after 2016?
At least we got to enjoy some extra time...
It all seems vaguely religious, doesn't it?

I've read it. Great book! It's available for free online too.
Reading that one actually left me in tears several times because of my own awful experiences in school. I also recommend Ken Robinson's work, here's a taste: http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_changing_education_paradigms

Now is a pretty good time to buy. It's only going to rise from here unless some major regulation happens.
This is a great time to buy, wall street money is about to dump into bitcoin.

99% of the altcoins are scams. You will lose your money, period. And after 10 years, when BTC will climb to $10,000.... you will curse yourself.
QFT same as you'll curse yourself for selling at 1,200 when btc hits 21,000 $

Same as you'll curse yourself for selling at 21,000 $ when btc hits 400,000$ each. And so on.

"Planned brawls" (gang warfare), "lockdowns", schools sound more and more like prisons every day.

I agree, I've thought this for a while.
You might enjoy this book, or other works by John Taylor Gatto

Actually technologically NXT is far ahead of bitcoin...

husshh, you wont find many open ears for technological advancement on this forum.

Well, the altcoin scene is a real mix of a witch's brew and a cesspit but sometimes good things can turn up Smiley.
DO NOT EAT THOSE BROWNIES. THEY ARE NOT WHAT YOU THINK!

I love that so many shitcoin pushers are shamelessly dropping their ads into this thread, like pigeons dropping their turds onto the heads of commuters.

You beautiful bastards are great.  I sincerely wish you all the best of luck in your respective scams. May you sell many shares and dump everything at the perfect moment, take the money and run!  Grin

For all you boring non-scammers out there, best read this: http://nakamotoinstitute.org/mempool/everyones-a-scammer/

Corporatism IS capitalism.

The corporatism that became dominant in the eighties and nineties WAS the zenith of capitalism. Capitalism has been declining for the past twenty years. It is a dying system on life support, and the evidence is all around you.

It remains to be seen how long people are willing and able to ignore the slow death of capitalism. How much suffering can we endure before we accept that it's time to start thinking about what comes next?

I came across this video and found it very relevant to the OP of this thread, and how scam accusations work around here. In general he is arguing the insanity of limiting people's speech to limit offense.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oSxdZcCNlM
This guy is full of shit, damn near every argument he makes is reductio ad absurdum, he even admits it at one point in the video! I love that the students keep calling him out on his shit, that's hilarious.

Science demonstrates why internet arguments are usually fruitless. Our brains are incredibly biased, and arguing often triggers flight or fight response.

It becomes about winning the argument, rather than about getting to the truth of the matter.

I can survive on grass. I am eating grass now. I can run long distances. I can operate with full rationality and concentration until extreme stress and sleep deprivation.

You remind me of "Dr." Eugene Porter. This is not to be mistaken for a compliment.

How about we dont give internet to you because your ISP pays taxes to the government, would you accept that situation?
1177  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How Social Justice Warriors Are Creating An Entire Generation Of Fascists on: March 25, 2015, 09:50:50 PM
You are a statist Beliathon!
Negatory, I just see the world more accurately than you do. Capitalism absent government is a nightmare.

It's like if you are envious that 1 guy won the lottery of 100m $ and everyone else lost. So let's redistribute the lottery prize a good idea isnt it? Well hell no, thats not the point of the game. The whole point of lottery is for alot of people to enrich 1 lucky guy, and it's voluntary.
Yeahhhhh, I've got some bad news, homeslice. You don't know shit about the lottery, it generates 2 billion dollars a year for the state of Oregon. Now who's the statist?
1178  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How Social Justice Warriors Are Creating An Entire Generation Of Fascists on: March 25, 2015, 09:36:58 PM
You are not exploited by your boss at work, and he doesn't steal capital from you. You voluntarly signed a job contract with him when you hired you.
If one was hungry at the moment the contract was signed, coercion was at play and the contract was signed without true consent. This applies to approx 90% of Earth's population.

Think of banknotes as freedom tickets and it will make sense. Only the super rich will ever be free in this system, that's why they've convinced everyone else that they too will one day be millionaires.  

"Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires"
-John Steinbeck

How is there a ruler in capitalism? When all of it is based on voluntary transaction.
Voluntary my ass. This is what you trot out, the tired old, "we're free because free trade" fallacious argument bullshit? Weak man, very weak. A market is a coercive force. Those without money are coerced by the system into tolerating exploitation. Coerced into being on the bottom of someone else's hierarchy, with all the suffering, shame, and other indignity that entails.

“America touts itself as the land of the free, but the number one freedom that you and I have is the freedom to enter into a subservient role in the workplace. Once you exercise this freedom you’ve lost all control over what you do, what is produced, and how it is produced. And in the end, the product doesn’t belong to you. The only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you don’t care about making a living. Which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve.”
-Tom Morello

"I see all this potential, and I see it squandered. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables – slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars, but we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."
-Chuck Palahniuk

“We feel free because we lack the very language to articulate our unfreedom.”
-Slavoj Zizek, Welcome to the Desert of the Real

The only choice we have left now is between embracing the corporate fascism nightmare or rejecting it in favor of a post-capitalist democracy in whatever form it takes.

The only cure for capitalism is democracy at work, a transition to an alternative culture of economy.

I'm getting tired of the Republican whining, the ones that complain the loudest are completely full of shit, especially when they were trying to claim they'd impeach him, don't make those kind of threats unless you actually have the balls to follow through with it. We have this exact same problem here in the UK with the Conservatives and Labour parties, yes, the Conservatives suck but Labour are just as incompetent and petty when it comes to attacking them because they come up with the near exact same solutions to the problems that both of them caused.
Well fucking said mate. The immaturity of our elected representatives should be both astounding and embarrassing for all US citizens.
