Capitalism: A Love Story

[D_Mansworthy Meatwrench III]

I might actually watch that movie. Granted, I consider him to be the same as any non-working politician, ambulance-chaser, or street prostitute, but it might actually throw some shit out there to piss the old populace off.

I suffer a sack of shit like him on the off-chance he may provide an accidental truth, and provide to the "whole". And I don't mean HIS whole....wallet.

As long as you realize you ain't in charge, they got the money, you work to provide it to everyone but yourself, and they exist to not work at all and take it....

Well now, you don't need to watch a movie for that. It is called "Life".
Greed- People figure out ways to fuck you no matter what, so they won't have to work at all. Lawfully or Not. "Cash Cows" come with 2 legs as well.

Corps or Gov's, it matters not.

Fact-checking Michael Moore.


Michael Moore says: "The richest 1 percent have more financial wealth than the bottom 95 percent combined."


Politifact, a 2009 Pulitzer Prize winner, gives this statement a "Mostly True".


PolitiFact | Michael Moore movie says that top 1 percent owns more financial wealth than bottom 95 percent

funny how you did not print the rest of what Politifact said about Moore...

they checked six items from your precious film....and the results looked like this:

True - 1
Mostly True - 2
Barely True - 1
False - 3

now that is intellectual honesty if i have ever seen it

1 out of six points that is actually true without any room for disagreement.

PolitiFact | The Michael Moore movie gets a fact-check

Pure capitalism and pure socialism are both flawed systems. Ours isn't perfect, but it relies on a healthy mix of the two.

Exactly. The problem is for the past 30 years we've been spoon feed the idea that 'government is the problem' and the pendulum has swung back...way back to the idea 'the corporation' is indeed the answer to all of life's problems. It is self-correcting, it is self-sustaining, it allocates resources perfectly, it has displaced religion as the world's largest organization. It's insidious influence is everywhere.

Whatever, it will all collapse on itself one day. What it demands of humanity and the planet to sustain itself is in fact unsustainable.

There are no nations, there are no peoples, there is only one holistic system of systems......there is no America...there is no democracy

How well spoken you are Shaken. That really is the heart of the matter.

Do you know what a ideologue is?

Ideologue: Smug and self satisfied in their certitudes, Ideologues opinions are merely a loose collection of intellectual conceits, and are genuinely astonished, bewildered and indignant that his views are not universally embraced as the Truth. He regards the opposing point of view as a form of cognitive dissonance whose only cure is relentless propagandizing and browbeating.

To bad that we cant be more factually based then ideologically based.

Capitalism needs to be brought down, and replaced with DEMOCRACY, equality.

HUH??????? Complete nonsensical statement

Democracy is a political system
Capitalism is a economic system

Two different things. that is akin to saying that we should get rid of all cars because they are bad for the environment and replace them with broccoli.

Please see this movie. The film has a terrific sense of humor, too, all the way through. As do many of Moore's films.

I understand that Hitler though Goebbels films had a terrific sense of humor, should that be reason to rush out and see them and embrace them as truth?

Just wondering?

I'm so disillusioned with capitalistic greed that I'm going to watch this movie by downloading it without paying anyone a red cent.

Suck it, fat cats.
