I'm on episode 3 of the new Adam Curtis series, it's provocative and he really does stress individualism vs collectivism. Fair enough. What seems missing from his analysis is class. He seems to be saying all revolutions fail because human nature is to be swayed by emotion not rationality. But there are class issues where the wealthy are manipulating emotions via mass media to keep the proletariat fighting each other instead of working towards a collective.

He does give a nod to the coal towns, I wish he'd spend more time on how organizing has fixed things.

Rubbing it in our faces. They don't give a single fuck about justice. It's all about power.

Seeing this reminded me how much I fucking hate that website

I like 30 to 1 leverage. So when you deposit 1 dollar into a bank they can invest, out of thin air, 30 dollars to lend out based on your one dollar. Money is debt.

Ha. Ha.

Just for the record, the posts that I've submitted about Glenn as well as this Bad Faith podcast were not very well received by our chapo chat community so Im working on the assumption this one will also 'die in new' as it were. But Glenn and Zephyr Teachout make some good points and Virgil is on point so

Don't. Don't give me hope.jpg

Not so subtle racism reminds me of WW2 propaganda. Can we see this guy just fucking disappear into the garbage can of history already?

The 'County' that I live in is Kyosanto which is the Japanese communist party. It's growing. Sure, it's a minority nationally but at least Japan has more than 2 identical parties..

I'm all about that wireless midi cc. Cables are so unnecessary now. Bluetooth or wifi midi is the future

Yeah it's a good podcast as well. I was thinking about the taboo topics just the other day. I think my favorite is a 'maximum wage' mandate. Never gonna hear that in MSM

The boys brought this up in the latest podcast. Not only are there guidelines that work to limit dialog, but institutional controls that make it impossible for people to even bring up topics that threaten capitalism. Freedom of speech *
