I notice a trend in which every time I hear a politician speak with candid common sense, it's because they're retired.

It's as if just the act of leaving Washington DC produces clearer thinking.

I think back in the 50's, Dow chemicals, in cooperation with Walt Disney, placed some nefarious device that broadcasts around the city and muddles everyone's brain.

I couldn't agree more with Genji. This video is hilarious and so true. These kids are enlightened--ahead of their time! Is it really suprising to these parents that a kid with a mohawk and a kid with a hoodie on inside are going to respond less-than-enthusiastically to this news? They're wise to the sitch. in any case, Dick's house is probably way better than lions with bedsores and lame ass space mountain. Walt Disney invented fucking false american populism. He was a disgustingly reactionary bastard who wanted kids to grow up KNOWING that everything outside of a capitalist system was hell. Fuck him and his 'vision'. Still, those turkey legs are pretty amazing though, huh? Too bad they are 20 dollars a piece.


I've actually heard that the turkey legs we love so much are actually emu half of the time. A carnie told me that, so take it with a grain of salt or not.

Nah, Disney World is the shit! I get that some people like to rally against the big bad corp, which is fine, but the experience of going is pretty damned amazing. Walt Disney wanted to create a place where kids and adults can both have a ton of fun, and he succeeded.
I can totally see this family in a day or two, with the mom screaming at her crying kids, "I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS VACATION, SO YOU'D BETTER SHUT UP AND ENJOY IT!"


More like dad.

So inside the tunnels is where Uncle Walt used to take his young friends?

WALT!!

The "message" is all over the board, and the way the narrator uses the word "enslavement" reminds me of putting one's hand up to a flashlight beam so the shadow looks huge. Really, if you're going to ramble on about enslavement, start small. You're "enslaved" by your body, you will always need oxygen culled from air. You're "enslaved" by your own belly and the need for food. Except for a few lucky space/moon douchebags, most of us will forever be enslaved by gravity and the earth, never leaving it except to fly to Chicago on peanut-free airliners. You're "enslaved" by your loved ones who demand your time and energy to survive, with no permanent guarantee they will reciprocate. You're "enslaved" by your friends, their opinions, your opinions and the balance of honesty versus hurting feelings needlessly. And so on.

The State is "that great fiction by which everyone tries to live at the expense of everyone else." We know this. The narrator was closest to the current truth when he described governments as mafias. But we've come a long way from the days when tyrants could execute whomever they wished at any time. At least in the "less enslaved" parts of the globe.

"Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." --G. Washington.

Modern civilization depends on the one lousy master, or a few masters with powers divided, rather than the whims of 100 million little ones, for when anarchy reigns, the neighbor with the biggest guns and posse wins out. S/he may be benevolent today but not tomorrow. And so ...to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...

Why do vids like this ultimately fail? Mostly due to vagueness and having no real answers, but mainly because they assume that in every epoch the State is all-powerful and all-knowing, when history proves none of them has it 100% correct, or even 30% correct. Governments rise and fall like tides. Sometimes they have no idea what they're doing, at others they know the right things to do but don't or won't do them for any number of reasons.

So what does this all mean? Relax. Grab a beer. Light up a joint. Per quantum mechanics or string theory or something, you both exist and do not exist right now. You are both free and "enslaved". Have a nice evening. I will, for I have pr0n!

O Me! O Life!

By Walt Whitman

O me! O life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill'd with the foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I,
and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the
struggle ever renew'd,
Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see
around me,
Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,
The question, O me! so sad, recurring--What good amid these, O me, O life?

Answer.
That you are here--that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.

Fascinating propaganda, but remove any mention of it being banned, because it never has been. According to Wikipedia it was even released as part of a compilation DVD in 2004


Hmm, did not know that... Ok, will remove it from tags then... thank you...
Can't trust random strangers and their information on the Internet anymore... so sad :'(

Ok fanboys and girls aside, highdileeho's post got me to thinking that perhaps we should all take a bit of time like our pal eric827364982374, and go through the sift and do a bit of house-cleaning-

For some of you, who tend to post in a linear fashion from some of the major news organizations, and lack the spark of creativity that sets us apart from the beasts and foul, and who have a particular world view that is parroted by most of those who have been spoon-fed the sheit from television for so long that your limbic system is so much Rupert Maddock's bitch.....

Coriolanus: "'Conservatives' don't like anything that takes money out of their pocket and gives it to the poor. They love it when poor people are desperate and starving."
No. In fact, conservatives would be happy if the entire world had a middle class like America's, as it would actually bring in global peace and social justice, things which a lot of idiots say they want, but whose policies backfire and cause the opposite.
Also, look into the rates of charity giving between conservatives and liberals some time. If liberals cared so much about the poor, why don't they give money to help the poor?
Stop reading your idiot-child Chomsky, and look at real world statistics some time, before drawing stupid conclusions like the above.

Really? Examples, please. Show me examples of this global corporatist largess.
Here's one of mine:
NEW YORK - How can Michael Eisner, CEO of the Walt Disney Company, afford to pay himself $97,600 an hour? Easy. He contracts manufacturers who pay workers in Haiti who sew Pocahantas, Mickey Mouse and other Disney clothing for 28 cents an hour.
(source)
28 cents an hour. Disney labor in Haiti.
How fast would a middle class blossom at that rate?


You're using Michael Eisner as an example of a conservative? No wonder you're confused.

My guess is that if you're uneducated enough to think that Eisner is a conservative, you're in for quite a shock if you actually look at how many large business people are liberals. It's not by random chance - it's in their self interest to see Democrats win. If you'd like, I'll even explain why.
